In dining area

P- annika , when is your college reopening ?

A- tomorrow mummy ,

She answered ,taking her seat on the chair beside pinky .

P- you aren't fully recovered yet ,tho chutti le sakthi hona ?

She insisted .

A- nahi mummy, I'm perfectly alright .Chaloongi mein ,

P- teek hai phir ,be careful haan ?

She asked while serving the food and annika nodded obediently. She saw shivaay approaching there for dinner ,soon she pulled the chair on the other side near her wanting him to sit with her. He who was in some random conversation with Om ,casually took his place beside him on the opposite side leaving her dissappointed.

She was traversing her gaze from the plate to him every now and then to somehow catch his sight . And once she achieved it too, the moment he looked at her she passed a wide smile which he ignored getting himself busy with the topic going on with Om .

With not being able to hold on ,he again moved his sight on her to find her drawing all patterns on the plate with her face hanging down . She seemed dull, but fortunately she again caught him looking at her for which he immediately bent down, concentrating on his food. She shook her head smiling , how cutely he behaved. A tiny little grumpy boy !

Next morning ,

Both were getting ready ,arranging their things respectively. She sat infront of the mirror , trying to remove the dressing so that she could tie her hair in a pony tail . Taking it off she ,she looked for a small bandage in the first aid box. She was about to plaster it on her stitched bruise ,when suddenly she felt him holding her hand. She questioned him ,looking at his image on the mirror . Without responding, he knelt down and fetched an ointment from the box and gave it to her. She smacked her head mentally ,how did she even forget this ? It was to be applied before dressing , and she forgot it totally . It's ok ,with him along it ...is fine to forget things!

S - uhh, I'm sorry.

He uttered,

A- for ?

S- I touched you without your permission,

He replied bluntly and left without waiting for her response . She looked at her own image in such a shock . What she had done to him? He wasn't a person who would act so cold ,especially when it's her he wouldn't ever do that . But now ? His formal behaviour just brought extreme pain in her . She gulped deep,knowing that she deserved it .

Playing with his true emotions was something really worst,she could claim an apology too . But it wasn't that easy ,  she has done things like these before too . Everytime he just accepts her with a smile ,but this time . It wasn't going to be so easy and she knew it . He was so delicate when it's about his love ,so yes . His behaviour was actually justified, she didn't complain .

Settling herself on the window seat beside gauri ,her glance was certainly fixed only on him who was seated in front with Om . Gauri was all engrossed in explaining the whole lot of stories from her vacation diaries , while annika leastly paid any attention. Poor gauri !

How much she has changed , only for him .With paying nil heed to any man ,who tries all ways to impress her ,the same she was just too much ready to catch his one glance on her . What has he made her into ? She enjoyed this version though.

Being the  2 year PG students ,they were the super seniors in college. So the principal had requested them to help the 1 st year students who were suppose to join today after their inauguration function.

He was guiding the students to their respective classes in the IT block, while annika was engaged in some other work . That's when she heard few girls gossiping around about shivaay .

" hey ,vahan nahi . We'll go this side "

Pointing towards the way ,where shivaay stood .

"Haan! I know the reason ,he's so cute !  haina ? "

They giggled ,and rushed approaching towards  him.

G- tumne dekha annika? Do they even look like girls who had just completed their schooling? Tera husband ke paas hi jaa rahi hai,

She rolled her eyes ,while annika acted casually .

G- how can you react so normally ?

Annika just shrugged her shoulders and smiled .

During lunch break ,

G- ufff, I'm not going to do anything from now . I've already lifted kilos of books ,I won't, I won't .

She shook her head continuously with being fed of carrying a load of books from morning. Annika and Om just passed a smile looking at her.

Om - vaise bhabi? Shivaay kahan hai?

A- pata nahi .

She shook  her head ,

Om- ajeeb hai , vo tho hamesha aapke peeche hi rehtha haina ?

He chuckled,

A- ab mere paas nahi aayega,

She whispered below her voice.

Om- you said something?

A- nahi ,

With wrapping up his work ,he came to the canteen and sat beside Om .

Om-  what took you such a long time haan?

S- vo ,(interrupted)

G- let me tell ,vo saare juniors haina? Matlab ,girls ... haina ?

She asked and giggled to receive an immediate glare from annika.

Om- really? Followers haan?

He teased ,while shivaay shook and tried  capturing annika's reaction.

S- I don't know about you guys ,but I'm really hungry .

He voiced out and started eating. Soon he felt Om nudging his shoulders.

S- what's it Om?

Om - bhabi ko dekho na ,

He whispered, they looked at her who was just seated  opposite to him . She couldn't sit without moving continuously, she stayed altering her position every now and then.

S- what is she doing?

He asked being baffled while Om hit his shoulders slightly before speaking .

Om- didn't you get it still? Arey ,you have done this too!

He exclaimed ,

S- what ?

He asked curiously.

Om- you see the girl behind bhabi ,she's just staring at you from the time you had come. Isliye bhabi tuje bacha rahi hai uss ladki se ,

He let out a silent laugh , that's when shivaay noticed that she was just tilting herself on either sides constantly with her pupils cornered to vision the happenings behind her . He pressed his lips on the other ,trying to suppress his smile . He could easily catch the fired sense of possesiveness in her eyes.

That was something which he had always craved for !

G- hmm hmm! Someone was very casual about these juniors a while ago and now who's seated doing all sort of  movements haan ?

She teased to which annika immediately hit her with the elbow .

A-let how many ever girls approach him? He would remain blind in such situations, kisi ko dekega bhi nahi .I know him ! Par iska matlab ye nahi ki koi bhi usse aise vaise dek le ,and this luchi tuchi behind me na , she's too much I'm telling you .

She sighed  still concentrating in her blocking session .

A- you know, my class incharge is Latha mam , I don't like her at all ...pata hai...

And she continued blabbering everything which happened in class while he silently arranged the pillows on the couch . Finishing her not so short story  , she looked at him to find him engrossed in his work totally. Maybe he was least interested in her talks now ,she thought.

A- suno na ,can you plss sleep on the bed. Plss ?

She made a puppy face ,after which he had no heart to deny .

They layed on either sides ,she could only face his back .She cleared her throat ,

A - it's been 3 days since you spoke to me  . I know you're angry with me ,but ...but why would you stop talking ? I miss you addressing me as aap  , I miss your pampering, I miss you shivaay ! Plss ,talk to me .Atleast scold me for what I've done.

She insisted strongly and noticed him to be staying still, in the same position without turning . She got up and peeped ahead from her side to find him asleep .She sighed ,her face turned hurt . She had never got to witness this side of him . Was he so stubborn ? She was the reason behind this though , she blamed before dozing off.

Within few minutes he opened his eyes and looked at her. She had slept with a frown running on her face still.

S- you're making it too difficult for me annika .

He whispered, and took his palm near her, he was about to touch her hair but immediately pulled back .

I promise to handle your heart with care and treasure it with love💞
