In Saint Teresa’s Institute, Darjeeling:-
At 3 pm:-
In Medical room:-
Riddhima- I have class
Vansh- Which and how many?
Riddhima- Last one of Accountancy
Vansh- Great Same class
He lifted her and was about to open the door
They were about to leave but then the medical room open marking the entry of the librarian and Kabir
Kabir- Riddhima, Are you okay?
Riddhima- Yeah, it’s just a little sprain
Librarian- Where were you both going?
Riddhima- Sir we had…..
Vansh (interrupting her) – Sir we had class, Accountancy
Librarian- Ohk, after class you both meet me in the library
Saying so the librarian left the room and Vansh saw Kabir while giving him a questioning look
Kabir- I don’t know btw I had class
Kabir left and Riddhima saw Vansh was standing still and was thinking something while looking at the slightly opened door
Riddhima- Vansh….
No reply
Riddhima- Vansh
No reply
She wriggled in his arms and his grip loosed due to sudden action and she was about to fell when he again caught her in the middle of the air.
Both took a sign of relief
Vansh- Are you mind? My hand had gone numb by your weight
Riddhima- What? Put me down
Vansh- Shut Up, we had class right?
Riddhima- I know put me down I can manage
Vansh didn’t listened and took her directly to the class where all saw the couples and praised their chemistry. Vansh made her sit on the seat and sat beside her and saw her as she her cheeks were red which was the signal that she was embarrassed and he smiled to see the blush on her cheeks. So to change the aura between them he asked
Vansh- Where are your sister cum best friend?
Riddhima- I don’t have any idea about them they said to meet them after all classes in the canteen then from there we will go to hostel
Vansh- Ohk…..
Teacher entered the class and was teaching them and all were listening it carefully and making notes except Vansh who was stealing glances just from his favorite book that is Riddhima which went noticed by her
Riddhima- Want to score bad in exams?
Vansh (confused) – No…..
Riddhima (pointing towards the book on table) – Concentrate on that book
Both smiled at this and then focused on the class
After 45 minutes:-
Teacher left the class after assigning them their work and soon by time all left except Riddhima and Vansh
Riddhima- Why aren’t we going? Sir had called us…
Vansh- If you are too excited to get embarrassed once again then let me know
Riddhima smiled and looked around the class only 3-4 students were left
After few seconds, Ragini and Vyom reached them
Ragini- Why aren’t you guys leaving?
Vyom- Don’t want to reach hostel
Vansh- Actually no, we had some work in the library
Vyom- Ok then…. Will meet in the evening
Ragini- Btw Riddhima how is your leg?
Riddhima- It’s fine now
Vyom- Ok take care Bye
Saying so they left and whole class was no empty
Riddhima- Are we waiting for Diwali?
Vansh- Why will I?
Riddhima- Then move na…. I’m hungry
Vansh- You should have told me
Vansh lifted her and she asked
Riddhima- Are you ok? I mean again and again you are lifting me…. Is your hand okay?
Vansh- Yaa…. You aren’t that heavy?
Smiling he took her to library where they entered after taking the permission of the librarian, he made Riddhima sit on the chair
Vansh- Sir you called us?
Librarian- Yes…. Actually check out your new art
He said pointing towards somewhere and Riddhima and Vansh followed his finger and saw the fallen books at one corner and they bit their tongue as they had completely forgotten about it. They looked at the teacher
Riddhima- Sorry sir actually by mistake my stole got stuck on the nail and rest you know
Librarian- But our dean had asked you t0 clean all this as a punishment sorry I know you are hurt Riddhima but…..
Riddhima- It’s ok sir I’ll put back all the book in the order
Librarian- Are you sure? I mean are you both fine
Riddhima- Sir I’ll do it alone as…….
Vansh (interrupting her) – Yes sir we’ll look after it
Librarian – Ok then this is the sheet in which order you have to put the books and this is the keys outside a watchmen is there after locking the library give the keys to him I’ll inform about you both to him
Vansh and Riddhima nodded while Librarian left
Riddhima looked at Vansh
Vansh- Happy now? Can’t you refuse?
Riddhima- First of all you can leave as it’s my punishment I’ll arrange the books and second give me the sheet
She moved to take the sheet forgetting about her injured leg and she stumbled and her front hit Vansh’s chest and he hold the side of the table and both stood in the middle of the air getting lost in their deep oceanic eyes
After a while Vansh broke the eye contact and both stood up properly
Vansh lifted her holding her legs and then put her on the table which was near the fallen books
Riddhima- Vansh canteen will get closed after 5 we have just 30 minutes or just dinner and that too of hostel
She said while making faces while Vansh moved close to her and a small smile crept on his face and she saw his eyes, but before they could get lost in each other eyes a voice broke it
They looked at the door where both of their gangs were standing and as they saw Riddhima and Vansh closeness and both moved back on seeing their gaze and adjusted themselves
Aryan- Woah…. Actually Kabir told me you guys were about to get punished so we came to see your punishment
Sejal- Shut up….. Riddhima are you hurt?
Riddhima- Yaa….. But it’s fine now
Angre- Btw guys what’s the punishment
Riansh (in unison) – We need to arrange the shelf
They looked at each other and just passed a smile
Ishani- Btw Riddhima I brought pizza for both of you. You guys must be hungry
She said while snatching the box from Aryan and before Riddhima or Vansh could take Aryan took it
Aryan- Sorry Riddhima di, I brought it for you
Ishani (snatching) – I brought now
Aryan (snatching) – I brought it and with cold drink also
Ishani (snatching the drink) – Hawww….When you took it out from my bag….I brought it…..
They kept on fighting and suddenly the bottle’s cap got lose making it open and as it got pressed whole cold drink got served to Ishani’s dress and face and Aryan immediately left the bottle and moved back keeping the hand on his mouth
Aryan- Haww…. Can’t you even hold a bottle properly?
Ishani shot angry glares to him and moved to him and poured whole cold drink bottle on him and soon both of them heard gasp
They saw everyone gasping keeping their hands on their mouth and then they pointed towards the side window where they saw the librarian coming in the library
All stood in front of them in a line hiding them while Riddhima was trying her best to control her laughter sitting on the table
Librarian entered and got shocked seeing them standing in a row
All (in unison and singing voice) – Good evening sir
Librarian (amused) – Good evening…. What are you all doing here?
All started saying together making him confuse
Librarian- One of you say
Now everyone was quite
Librarian- I asked one of you to say not all to get quite
Kabir- Sir we came here to help Riddhima and Vansh
Librarian – All?
All (in unison and singing voice) – Yes sir
Librarian- Continue…..
He took his car keys and left not before giving them a glance as soon he left all took a sign of relief while Riddhima burst into laughter
Sejal- Riddhima?
Riddhima- Guys first give a look to Ishani and Aryan
All looked at them and burst into laughter as they were drenched in cold drink and their hairs were standing in air while Ishani’s makeup was completely destroyed making her look like a ghost
Vansh- Guys please go to washroom and do something to yourself
Siya- To at least look like us
They left while everyone got busy in arranging the shelf except Riddhima who was swaying her legs in air looking at then or should say Vansh while eating the pizza.
Vansh felt a gaze on him and turned to look at Riddhima who called him to her. Vansh smiling moved to her and gave her a questioning
Riddhima took a tissue from the table and wipe his sweat while he leaned to her holding the table and her between his arms she then gave him her half eaten pizza but then realized that it’s her
Riddhima- Oh sorry
Vansh raised his eyebrows and then held her wrist before she could keep back the pizza in the box and without breaking the eye contact he came close to her and ate a bite from the same pizza. And then he served her the pizza and she ate from it
Their eye contact got broke from a voice near their ear
Voice- Guys If romance is over can we focus on the work
They looked and saw all standing close to them
A blush got raised to both of their cheeks and they moved back and again got indulged in arranging the books.
After an hour there work was done and it was 6:30 pm
Vansh- Done…..
Kabir- Yaa… Let’s go
All left leaving Vansh and Riddhima there, Vansh moved to her and then kept his hand on the table and looked at her and she to balance her held his cloth on the shoulder in a fist. He moved close to her face and she got lost in her eyes he decreased the distance between their faces and Vansh taking the opportunity slid his hands to her legs and slowly slowly twisted it and she shouted in pain
Riddhima- Ahhhhh…… Vansh….
She closed her eyes and clutched her fist winching in pain slowly she opened her eyes which was moist
Vansh- Is it okay now?
Riddhima looked at him and he made her stood up slowly then holding her by her shoulders started moving her soon she was able to balance herself
She passed a smile to Vansh and he reciprocated it. In excitement she started jumping in the library and then suddenly she hugged him but he didn’t hugged her back
Riddhima broke the hug and
Riddhima- Thank you
They left the library after closing the door and giving the keys to the watchmen it was already dusk outside and they saw here and there and they found everyone standing at a corner
Sejal- Where were you….And your leg?
Riddhima- I’ll tell in the way let’s leave now it’s already dusk and we need to enter hostel before 9….
Siya- Yaa… But it’s 7 only….
Riddhima- Still please
Ishani- Ok… let’s go… Bye….
They bid goodbye to them and then left
At 8 pm:-
Vansh was in his Mansion lying on his bed lost in his thoughts. Suddenly his phone rang flashing an unknown number on the bluish screen
He slid the green button upward and kept the phone on his ear. A voice came from other side breaking a smile on his face
Voice- Vansh?
Vansh- Riddhima, How you got my number?
Riddhima- From Ragini, Actually can you met me near my college?
Vansh sat up straight on his bed slightly tensed
Vansh- Are you okay?
Riddhima- Yaa I’m fine can you come?
Vansh- Yaa… I’m coming
Riddhima- Ok… In the garden
Saying so she hanged up the call and Vansh thought
Vansh (to himself) – Why she had called me now? Will she accept my friendship proposal …. Let’s go
Vansh got ready and made his way to her hostel in his car.
In Garden:-
After a drive of 15 minutes he reached to his destination and stood in the garden searching her but suddenly a pat came on his shoulder and he turned back and saw Riddhima
Vansh- Hey Hi…. What happened?
Riddhima- Actually yeh…..
Vansh raised his eyebrows as he saw the ointment in her hand
Riddhima- Woah you lifted me whole day and might be your hands must be paining so sorry for that
Vansh- Hey its ok why to say sorry
Riddhima- Then take it and Thanks for the day
Vansh- Ohk…. Umm….Anything else?
Riddhima shook her hand in no. He passed a smile and
Vansh- Ok then Bye…
Riddhima- Bye
Vansh started moving backwards while watching her and when he was about to turn to go
Riddhima- Vansh
In excitement he turned and raised his eyebrows
Riddhima- Good Night
Vansh- Oh…. Good Night
This time Riddhima passed a smile which wasn’t reciprocated by him
Vansh moved to his car and was about to open the door but again a pat came on his shoulder. He turned and again saw Riddhima
Riddhima- Actually I have an answer…. Friends?
Vansh without thinking anything slid his hands in her making it a hand shake and then said
Vansh- Friends….
Both shoke hands unaware of two pair of eyes which was going to bring havoc in their life
