Chapter 7

  • Ehan'sPOV
  • Seeing Naira on the road, I got confused and looked around the road. I didn't notice her coming.
  • I found myself uttering to myself,
  • “Does she live here anywhere near!” and got thinking.
  • After few minutes Akash got out of the washroom and got ready in a hurry.
  • Taking Akash with me, I got downstairs. Uncle and Aunt were in the living room. Seeing us, Uncle got uttering, “When will you grow up Akash? Why Ehan always has to get you for your important things!"
  • Akash spoke up, "We are getting late, Dad." and forwarded to leave. Finding nothing to do, I also took leave from them and left the house.
  • Arriving at the college, we found Mack and Rivan waiting for us at the entrance. Seeing us, they got near as Rivan got uttering, “You really brought Akash on time, haan? We thought this sleepy head will never get here on time as you said. But you did it. Great Job, buddy."
  • Ehan uttered being full of himself, "It's me guys. I don't go back on my words."
  • Mack gave me a sarcastic smile which was enough for me to get which was he referring and I uttered again, “This includes your dare too. Don't worry.”
  • I didn't know why but I felt like Akash got all startled at my word. But before I could ask him anything, Mack got uttering, "Will see. Now let's go. We will be late otherwise."
  • Akash spoke up giving me a weird look, “Are you going to join us too? Didn't you say your project thesis work is finished already!”
  • I got uttering “Yes but I will join you. Any problem?” only to find him silent.
  • We forwarded towards the classroom and after attending two classes, I spoke up, “You guys continue. I will be in the library.”
  • All of my friends let out a sigh and without bothering that, I forwarded towards the library.
  • After spending few hours in library with a book, I closed that and got thinking of that girl.
  • How will I get to reach her when I don't even know her name!
  • I left the library and forwarded with a thought of going to the canteen as Mack messaged me to get there.
  • Then I found Rick, he is known to be a playboy in worse sense in the college. When I found him busy with his filthy act with a girl again, I couldn't help getting there.
  • My father was the trustee of the college and I didn't want to get it's name tarnished for Rick's filthy acts.
  • To my utter surprise, it was the very same girl who I was looking for. She was literally trembling and her eyes were closed.
  • As I got warning, Rick and his boys immediately left from there.
  • I was the boxing champion of the college and after getting punched by me as they once got messing with my friends, Rick was afraid of me.
  • Getting near, I saw a tear escaping from her right eye and found myself got uttering softly to her, “Hey, it's okay. They left.” which even surprised me.
  • She opened her eyes which was all teary. I forwarded my handkerchief towards her. She kept staring at it for some moments and then took it with her trembling hand.
  • She didn't even utter anything and started taking steps towards where I didn't know.
  • I ended up following her and when I got she was waiting for a taxi, I offered her to drop her home.
  • But to my utter surprise, she refused. I mean refused me. Like seriously!
  • My mind chided, “Let's get it slow. Start from introduction."
  • Giving that thought a nod, I got uttering as I forwarded my hand towards her, "It's nice meeting you, Ira."
  • That's it.
  • And a drop of tear again escaped from her eye again.
  • Right then a taxi got there.
  • Wiping off the tear, she stopped the taxi and then turned to me. Uttering coldly, “It's Naira. Just Naira.”, she got in the taxi.
  • I didn't expect her to utter words like that. Not after saving her from Rick at least when she should be thanking me.
  • After all she is a girl. How can she be grateful!
  • Thinking this, I forwarded towards the canteen. Entering there, I found my friends sitting in a corner of the canteen.
  • Taking a seat , I uttered, “All confusions got cleared?”
  • Mack uttered as he took a of his sandwich, “Almost.”
  • I got uttering, “That's great. Now get starting with your project thesis work. It's just a month left now, guys ."
  • Before they got uttering, I heard a voice of a girl from my right side, “Ehan, will you please help me with this part of the project thesis? I am really confused.”
  • I turned towards that direction only to find Laya standing right beside me. Her face was full of makeup, coloured hair but what got me pissed off was her smile. It was like she was trying to seduce me with her dancing eyelashes.
  • Putting on a sweet smile, I uttered, "You know what? I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you."
  • Hearing me her smile got faded away but I thought of completing my say and went on, "Talk to me when you take that permanent Halloween mask of yours off. ”
  • Saying this, I turned to my friends for once only to look back at her again and added, “Oops, I did say permanent, right?”
  • Her face turned all dark as she left immediately. All of my friends sighed and Mack got uttering, “Can't you not be like this jerk sometimes?”
  • “If you have something to say on this, please raise your hand and put it over your mouth! Coz I'm not interested in listening." Uttering this, I took a sandwich from the table and started taking bites.
  • Mack got silent after giving me a glaring look. Rivan spoke up then, "Ehan, I was thinking what if someday a girl behaves like this with you! What will you do then!"
  • I took another bite as I got uttering, "In your dreams buddy. As in real you are not gonna see anything like that."
  • Mack uttered then, "Wait a moment. Ehan, what about the girl from yesterday? Did you even get to know her name?"
  • Remembering Naira and her cold words, I stopped chewing for some moments only to get Mack uttering again, “It's okay. It's just one day. Till the end of this month I am sure, you will get to know her name at least.”
  • I was about to utter something but got stopped as Mack's phone started ringing. Attending the call, he spoke up, "We are coming."
  • Cutting off the line, he turned to us and spoke up, "Let's go guys. It's last discussion ."
  • When they forwarded and I still kept sitting there, Mack got uttering, “Are you joining?”
  • I uttered immediately, “No. You guys continue.”
  • They left from there and after sometime, I forwarded towards my car to go home .
  • Naira's POV
  • I was on my way home but all my thoughts were stuck on Rick. Many worst scenario started coming to my mind that could be happened then.
  • Giving that thought a break, I tried to calm myself as I didn't want to get Aunt or Uncle worried for me.
  • Then I remembered the guy, Ehan who helped me. I was so out of my mind that I didn't even get to thank him.
  • On the top of that, I behaved coldly with him. I shouldn't have done it.
  • I thought in mind then, “If I get to meet him any next time, I will surely thank him and apologise for my cold behaviour as well.”
  • Next Day at College
  • In our last class Teacher Margaret gave us an assignment .
  • Being a transferred student, I found some new courses with complicated topics. I thought of visiting the library.
  • Remembering the incident of last day, I started taking steps being all conscious of all around.
  • Luckily I didn't get any sight of Rick and getting relieved, I entered the library. I filled up a form to get a library card in case I need to get book home and I was told I would get after 1 week.
  • I entered the library. Getting the required books, I took a seat in a corner.
  • I passed few hours with my studies until I got stuck with a theory of Accounting .
  • I tried to understand but nothing was getting in my mind. Being tired of trying, I looked all around only to the library almost empty and then the boy, Ehan got into sight. He was sitting after two tables from me and reading something.
  • Remembering the incident from yesterday, I forwarded towards him..
  • Ehan's POV
  • Library being my all time favourite place, I generally ended up going there more frequently. Though I was done with my project thesis work, I got there as per my habit.
  • I was all busy with a book when I heard someone uttering, “Hey ”
  • Being all confused, I looked up only to find that girl, Naira standing in front of me with a little bit of smile.
  • I looked at my both sides to be confirmed she was talking to me only to get her uttering, “I am talking to you. Ehan, right? I am Naira. Remember me? You helped me yesterday."
  • I couldn't help thinking, "Woah! After behaving like all rude, now she got manner to talk."
  • Before I could utter something, she spoke up again, "I am sorry for my previous behaviour. Actually I got so out of my mind facing the situation last day that I didn't even get myself to thank you. I am really sorry and thank you for helping me out then."
  • She sounded so genuine that I couldn't help uttering, "It's okay." only to get her smiling heartily as she uttered, "Thank you."
  • Her smile was like contagious as a smile crept on my lips also.
  • She again spoke up, “Okay then.” and left from there before I could got uttering anything.
  • She sat in a table at a little distance from me and started reading. I was thinking how to start a conversation with her again.
  • Then I found her getting near me again with her eyes on a book. Actually not as I saw her getting near the book shelf as she kept searching for a book. She seemed to be all confused.
  • With the same expression she took out a book and forwarded towards her table. As our eyes met, she again gave me a smile only to get myself smiling again.
  • Her smile was really contagious.
  • But when she turned to the book, her expression turned to be confused again. When I asked her , “Any problem?”, she pouted like a kid as she uttered, “I am stuck at a topic in Accounting.”
  • My mind got uttering, “You got your chance, Ehan.”
  • Giving it a nod, I spoke up, "I can help you if you want."
  • When she gave me a confused look, I uttered again, "I had Accounting in my last semester."
  • She took a seat in front of me as she uttered, “Really? Then please explain it to me.”
  • She forwarded the book towards me pointing at a topic as she uttered “This one.”
  • Little did Naira know what she was getting herself into...
