Chapter 4(Continued)

We started walking towards the gate , Ana and Meera were discussing the list of things they were going to do in the next one month. Meanwhile, my thoughts were constantly about him and no doubt, my eyes were searching him. I just don’t know what sparked in me in that moment when he caught hold of my question paper . I was a sensible girl amongst my friends. Its not like I never had crushes before but this time it was a bit different. This guy was making me feel restless. I thought of asking Nikhaar as he had many friends in the science section but then again asking him would mean letting my secret out. Both Meera and Ana would come to know.

I was back from my own world. Reality stuck me when Ana was waving her hand in front of my eyes. Her dad was asking me “ How was the exam”. I somehow managed to say okay. Before I could think of an answer Ana came to my rescue was saying “she’s still under the shock of a bad paper”.

“So what are your plans for holidays??? Going somewhere?”Uncle asked.

“Dad doesn’t have leave , so I’ll be staying back at home ” I said. Rest of the journey went in silence. Romantic songs from the radio filled the air. One of my favourite tracks “Tum se hi” from the movie “jab we met” was going on and I was breathing in love along with the pleasant air.

For a moment I moved to Shimla along with him taking roles of Kareena and Shaheed and the next moment i found myself smiling like a fool. For god’s sake I even don’t know his name. How can I even think like that?? Who knows he may even have a girlfriend after all he is a good looking lad.

Suddenly the car came to a halt and again I travelled back to the real world. I saw my house and realised that I have to go. I thanked uncle and got down from the car.

I took off my shoes pressing the calling bell. My mother opened the door  asking “How was the exam? ”.  Even she was tensed about my exam. “It was fine Maa. Nothing to worry” I assured her.

Saying this I entered my room and kept my bag in its place. At lunch, mom  asked me to search for someone in facebook and suddenly an idea stuck me. I can find him in facebook. He definitely must have a facebook  account . I somehow finished whatever was on my plate and rushed to my room. I hurriedly opened my laptop and connected the dongle.
