For falling in love with you.

Dabbing her warm tongue on her lips, Irhaa took a deep breath turning on the bed. It was past midnight but she couldn't even get a wink of sleep. Sighing, she took her phone switching on a soothing love song and sat on her study table.

Fidgeting with her inner soul, she finally took out a paper and her sketch pencils as a small shy smile played on her lips.

Na hain yeh pana,
Na khona hi hain.
Tera na hona, jaane
Kyu hona hi hain.

With small steps, she went towards the window and opened it and glanced at the bed where her 6 year old niece, Amara was sleeping soundly. Standing infront of window, she let the cold night breeze collide with her face and play with her hairs as they fell over her face, tickling her skin making a small giggle skip her lips.

Tum se hi din hota hai,
Surmai shaam aati.
Tumse hi tumse hi.

With hushed steps, she went towards her bed and pulled out a paper bag she had skillfully hid. Taking it, she sat on the chair and opened it as many sketches of his fell off it. She caressed them with a soft smile playing on her lips.

Har ghari saans aati hai,
Zindagi kehlati hai.
Tumse hi tumse hi.

Remembering the first interaction she had with him, her lips turned wobbly as tears gathered in them. A tear fell off her honey brown orbs cascading down her cheeks and falling on one of his sketch as she remembered how he screamed at her.

Na hai yeh pana,
Na Khona hi hai.
Tera Na hona jane,
Kyun hona hi hai.

She wiped it away and pulled out another paper and closed her eyes as if imagining his perfect face, those high cheekbones, pale white skin, perfect 5 o'clock stubble, long thick eyelashes, the frown placed on his forehead, his beautiful lips in a thin line, pointed nose, the small mole on the side of his left eye and 3 moles on his pale neck. She let his every detail sink in her mind and then opened it.

Aankhon mein ankhen teri,
Bahoon mein baahein teri,
Mera na mujh mein kuch raha hua kya.

Noone knew how her eyes wandered in the cafeteria in search of him. How she pushed herself into the library, a place she hates with all her passion for him. Only the moons and stars were aware of her feelings and she didn't wanted to change that.

Baaton mein baatein teri,
Raatein saugathein teri,
Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya
hua kya.

And within next half an hour, his perfect face was well drawn on the piece of paper and it radiated life. Smiling widely at her achievement, she hugged his sketch close to her chest.

Mein kahin bhi jata hoon,
Tumse hi mil jata hoon.
Tumse hi tumse hi.

Noone knew how deep her feelings were. Not even her best friends. She didn't had the courage to tell them. She had hid these feelings in the isolated corner of her heart. Even the thought of him was enough to erupt a whole zoo inside her belly,turn her whole body red, make her feel frenzy and let her pulse rate increase.

Shoor mein khamoshi hai,
Thodi se Behoshi hai.
Tum se hi tum se hi.

She remembered their first meet, 4 years back when she hadn't even joined college. Hell, it was not even a meet if he hadn't seen her face. He had helped her grandfather who collapsed on the road to the hospital and informed her family. That was how she first came across him.

Aadha sa wada kabhi,
Aadhe se zayada kabhi,
Jee chahe karlu is tarah wafa ka.

She remembered how she was a crying mess in her Tayi Ammi's embrace and her gaze fell on him where her father was thanking him.

Chode na chote kabhi,
Tode na tute kabhi,
Jo dhaga tumse jud gaya wafa ka.

She never knew her feelings will increase in a matters of years. It was not his beautiful face which attracted her, rather it was his beautiful heart which attracted her.

Mein Tera sarmaya hoon,
Jo bhi mein ban paya hoon,
Tumse hi tumse hi.

Only she knew how she had jumped in glee when she got to know that he is her senior in college. She had never let anyone have even a wink of her feelings for him. She hid it perfectly behind her spoilt brat image and masked her emotions well.

Raste mil jate hai,
Manzile mil jati hai,
Tumse hi tumse hi.

She bit her lips harshly knowing well that he was never in her fate. He is a topper student who studied with scholarship while she is an average student who uses her father's money for everything. She is a spoilt brat while he is a nerd. He won't even look in her direction twice, let alone fall in love with her and this thought was enough to turn her cold.

Na hai yeh pana,
Na Khona hi hai.
Tera Na hona jane,
Kyun hona hi hai.

The thought of unrequited and unreciprocated love scared her and she never gained the courage to go in front of him. Only she knew how in her every prayer he was there, how in her every thought he was there.

"Can you ever be mine Aarish?" She whispered in a small shaky voice while looking at the moon.

While at the other side, she had snatched away his peace as he remembered how the girl had jabbed at his chest looking at him with that furry look. He bit hit inside of the lips harshly throwing away the pillow as her warm brown eyes flashed infront of him. The innocence and mischievousness not hidden from him.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Irhaa gave herself a thumps up sigh. Wrapped in a multicolored line T-shirt and Black high waist jeans, she looked the badass Irhaa. Tying her hair in a high ponytail and letting few hair trails kiss her face, she applied her lip balm and kajal. Wearing the sneakers while jumping all around the room,she grabbed the peace short jacket and her bag rushing outside.

"Irhaa." Her cousin brother, Aazir reprimanded her as he saw her jumping on one leg trying to tie the lace of sneakers.

Giving him a sheepish smile, she wiped her hands on her jeans making her brother cringe and grabbed a toast rushing out only to be called by her sister-in-law.

"Irhaa." Hoorain screamed rushing to her as she gave her the glass of juice making her smile sheepishly.

"Muaah Bhabhi. Your only nanad loves you." She said with a grin and rushed outside while everyone chuckled at the bullet train infront of them. It was not new,Irhaa and time never go hand in hand.

"What happened to you?" Pallavi asked Irhaa who nodded in no following her as her eyes raked on the figure who was getting off his bike. She hated how good he looked.

Don't these minions have other work than checking him out?

She thought, as her jaw clenched when she saw a small group of girls giggling to themselves while looking at him. Closing her eyes, she tried to control the rage building in her.

Aarish who just had got off his bike, unknowingly his eyes searched for the brown eyed beauty as he saw her talking to her friends while walking. Unknowingly, a smile graced his lips when he saw her laughing freely throwing her head back without his knowledge but as soon as the realisation dawned upon him, he went back to his cold poker face moving towards his classmate.

How was it?

You guys thought that Irhaa will have deeper feelings than crush for him Or not?

Thoughts on them?

Isn't Irhaa so cute in that night scene?

Till now, you guys hadn't met Aarish but in the next chapter, it will have him. I wanted to clear Irhaa's feelings for him before his point of view.

Do vote on Muntazir. I need to update it soon and complete it as soon as possible😂😂

Thankyou♡♡
