Chapter 13

  • Sagar's POV
  • Flashback
  • All of a sudden someone whispered yelled her name. She bent to see who it was and I was curious too.
  • I saw It was Anshu... As she was very short she was sitting in the front row.
  • " Damini ??? " Anshu whispered loudly again.
  • " Hmmm " She bent sidewards to look at her.
  • " Damini... Aunty... " Anshu said.
  • " Aunty ?? Who ?? " Damini was confused.
  • " Mom... " Anshu replied.
  • " Mom ?? Whose mom?? "
  • " She is here?? " Anshu face looked tensed.
  • " What are you saying? Mom, aunty??? Who is here?? " Damini was irritated.
  • " You stupid... Your mom and my aunty is here," she said and Damini looked in that direction and her face became white...
  • So, her mom was here... But why??"
  • Apparently, her mom was the chief guest our principal was talking about.
  • Her mom was also very pretty. It was evident from where, Damini got her gorgeous looks. So all my friends started teasing me that it was a good chance to impress her mom.
  • They kept teasing me and I kept smiling.
  • Ma'am gave her introduction and asked her to say a few words. She gave an interesting and very short speech and said that she just wanted to wish happy children's day to all of us and wouldn't take much of our time.
  • She said that her daughter was also here and asked her to raise her hand.
  • Very reluctantly, Damini raised her hand, ma'am nodded at that and pointed towards her and asked her to come to her after the assembly was over. Damini went there.
  • There were many programs and competitions. Which started soon after that.
  • I had participated in a few competitions and games and then there was a friendly cricket match between classes 11th and 12th.
  • I won 3 of the competitions and went to receive my prizes when her mom smiled at me and said, " Wow!! Young man, you seem to be a rising star. Congratulations !! You have won many prizes. I am impressed with you. You are in which class? "
  • " Thank you, ma'am. I am in class 11th, science stream." I said courteously.
  • She smiled again and patted on my shoulder, " Oh !! Ok, my daughter is also studying in that class. Her name is Damini... The one who took admission just a few months back." She said that and I smiled and looked at Damini, she looked a bit scared that I may say something which would create a problem for her.
  • " I am very glad to meet you, ma'am. " I said.
  • Damini was looking everywhere but at me, what was her problem??
  • But I was hell-bent to change it. I wanted her attention to me. Just on me.
  • Then the match started and we won the match. I saw her enjoying the match but whenever our eyes collided, she changed her line of vision. She was happy and excited about our class winning but still, she was avoiding me.
  • I really liked her mom, she was very sweet and nice to talk to. She went away after the competitions were over. Rahul and Gautam teased me that at least my would-be mother-in-law was impressed with me. Sahil And Vikram joined them.
  • All my friends and Sahil kept saying that she has cast some spell over me and that I was head over heels in love with her. So much so that all I could do was think about her all day and could not even sleep at night.
  • One day even our teacher asked, " Sagar, how come your eyes are so red?? Are you all right ?? "
  • " Yes ma'am I am fine, thank you... "
  • " Then why are your eyes so red? "
  • " No nothing ma'am," I said looking at her. She was looking at me for a change, was she concerned about me? She looked a bit concerned.
  • " No, something is wrong? Sahil you tell me what is the problem?? " She was persistent to get the answer.
  • " Ma'am, he doesn't sleep at night... "
  • " What?? What does he do at night? What is more important than a good sleep?" Ma'am was shocked.
  • " I don't know, I think he keeps thinking about someone special for the whole night," Sahil said and looked at her.
  • Most of the students in my class started looking at her and said 'Ohhh...' collectively. She looked embarrassed and angry.
  • Her face got red and this time, I knew that she was not blushing...
  • She looked very angry. She went out of the class with the teacher only and Anshu followed her. She came in only after the next teacher came in.
  • I glared at Sahil as she was embarrassed by what he said and then on top of that he looked at her too that made it too obvious.
  • " What is wrong in that??? You are going crazy about her. At least she should know about it. "
  • " But you shouldn't have looked at her just after saying that. " I said to him.
  • " Then how would she come to know that I was talking about her? That you are crazy about her.."
  • " She would have, I don't look at any other girl. And the whole school knows about that. "
  • She avoided me like hell after that... Her expressions said that she was really upset and sad.
  • It looked that she would cry any moment and she said to ma'am that she was not well and she went to the medical room. I did not see her that day.
  • Next day she came and avoided me like plague. I just wanted her to look at me. Even if she just glared at me...
  • In the recess, I sang another song for her.
  • Mere samne wali Khirki main..
  • Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai
  • Afsos yeh hai ke voh humse
  • Kuch ukhda ukhda rehta hai
  • Mere .......
  • Jis roz se dekha hai usko
  • Hum shamma jalaana bhool gaye
  • Dil thaamke aise baithe hain
  • Kahin aana jaana bhool gaye
  • Ab aath paher in aankhon mein
  • Voh chanchal mukhda rehta hai
  • (Mere saamnewaali ....
  • Barsaat bhi aakar chali gayi
  • Baadal bhi garajkar baras gaye
  • Par uski ek jhalak ko hum
  • Ae husn ke maalik taras gaye
  • Kab pyaas bujhegi aankhon ki
  • Din raat yeh dukhda rehta hai
  • Mere saamnewaali ......
  • She got up and went somewhere I tried looking for her, but could not find her. Where was she? She came back after the recess was over and the teacher was also coming to the class.
  • I wanted to see if she was ok or not as she looked angry, I wanted to talk to her so I thought that I would talk while our drawing class.
  • We were going to the drawing class when she and Anshu went to have water. And as usual, I was nearby. I wanted to apologise if she was upset with me. I was about to reach her when all of a sudden she swayed a bit and was about to faint and I caught her just in time.
  • Both Anshu and I were shocked. She tried to shake Damini but she had fainted, her body was burning hot. She must have had really high fever.
  • I picked her up in my arms and took her to the medical room.
  • The doctor checked her, her fever was very high... The doctor gave her the medicine and suggested Anshu stay with her and wipe her very hot forehead with cold wet towels while they informed her parents.
  • I just could not leave her like this so I also kept standing there. She was absolutely red and shivering now. But after some time, her fever seemed to be considerably low.
  • She was in a slumber... Her mom and driver came to pick her from school.
  • I went to school early the next day as I wanted to talk to her but she didn't come that day. The day was gloomy without her. I didn't feel like talking to anyone.
  • I went to school the next day, but she did not come to school for two more days. I was getting impatient now as I had not seen her for the last 3 days... Teacher had asked Anshu about her and she said that she had a high fever.
  • It was the fourth day and she had still not come to school. The school assembly had already started and she had not come yet and she never came late...
