Recap: Sona trying to find Preeti and Preeti trying to find the novel.
Devakshi wassup chat and Sona says she would be returning the novel tom in class.
Dev smiles holding the same novel she has lost and looks forward to the meet
Part 5–
The new morning had bought a whole new task for Sonakshi.
She paced restlessly in her room. The wall clock read 8:00 and her college would start soon minding about the first class at 9:00 that being her favorite.
…ahh u got it right . Its Joseph’s and she would be seeing him after like 4 days but she knew no matter what she will get screwed .
Not to forget the topic about the project submission that will be bought forward for which she wasn’t ready yet basically her work was very close to start.
Very close
But she was worried about novel the moment Preeti had said her that she had lost it
Sona had her share of cursing , sulking and both the friends ended up pacing to and forth the tiny room searching a best way to let this news out to Dev
For Sona , it meant she need to entertain his talks on how to be careful and that shit .
But she really wanted to get through this matter .
“This Dixit has bought lot sum of irritation with him in my life.
God I hate him so much n now I hate myself too ” she thought
Once Sona went to class no wonder she has late again and like she had expected Joseph was there ,his smile indicating that he had been waiting for her.
Sona was partially drenched and precisely just because of the rain puddles she had got late by well half an hour amusing Joseph .
One thing Sona hated was giving him an upper hand and today that’s what she ended up doing and all she could do was curse the puddle in which she had fallen 20 minutes ago.
“Ahh…Ms Sonakshi, you are too early for the next class?” Exclaimed Joseph
“Well Sir I’m late due to..” Sona was cut off
“Its better be a valid reason” he reminded her
“I fell in the rain puddle so got late” she replied calming her senses.
The sight of Joseph questioning her rose her blood pressure by manifolds.
“Okay lady. Get in ” he said
Sona walked towards one of the bench and for no reason she remembered this was were Dev was sitting on their first meet .
She shook her head trying to erase the unwanted information her mind had registered.
Junk!
She looked around and frowned on not finding Dev anywhere.
“Seems like your missing someone Sona” Josephs voice made her jaw stiff.
She hated him calling her that,
“How obsessed he’s with me!” She though trying to ease the annoyance building up on Josephs words.
“No sir” she replied.
A new figure stood at the classroom door.
“Who can be late than me?” thought Sona trying to crook up her neck to see his face but the wall successfully covered him.
“Agghh..I can’t be this late today.
Seems like I’m walking on the paths of Sonakshi .
No way . I need to get to class and ask her about the novel.
Its gonna be Fun” thought Dev screeching right front of his classroom
And he bet everyone looked towards him bewildered.
He was 45 mins late for the class.
The record was previously held by her , Sonakshi of 39 mins.
So the curious ones peeped their head out to get a glimpse of the record maker and the amusement on finding him, one of Joseph’s got-to man was clearly etched on their face.
“I’m not an extra terrestrial animal” he wanted to say them but decided against it.
“Mr Dixit you are late” exclaimed Joseph.
“Did you fall in the rain puddles too?” He added leaving the class in chuckles.
Sonakshi on finding out its Dev had a big smile on her face. Dixit is late for Joseph’s class. Now that’s a news, she thought.
Dev couldn’t quite understand why his classmates had cheeky smile plastered on there faces. And he knew that wasn’t welcoming.
“Dixit could you please assist Ms Sonakshi in her project ,she seems to find it difficult to start!” On these words of Joseph her eyes went wide and her smile has now clearly seen on Dev’s face.
She clearly wasn’t expecting Joseph to undermine her. And Dev assisting her instead of him facing punishment had irked her.
“Sure sir” Dev replied and walked in and sat on the only bench in the first section of the classroom that was empty.
Unfortunately for Sona , it was beside her and she felt like to tear her own hair.
This clearly was going on a different track , the one she didn’t want and clearly unexpected.
Once Joseph turned towards the board,
Dev had a chance to talk to the one he had come to the college that day.
“Joseph is a sweetheart isn’t he?” Dev said smirking
Sona gritted her teeth trying not to gain Joseph’s attention. She was enough annoyed at the moment and had no plans to spend the rest of the class outside the classroom if Joseph would find her talking.
“He just proved he is to you” Whispered Sona
“Ahh…someone’s angry” he mocked
“Angry ? My foot .I don’t want to show the class how much of a sweetheart I’m to Joseph so you better stop talking” she said looking straight towards the board but her mind was screaming millions of things at her.
This morning was not supposed to worsen up.
First the thing about returning the novel and now a whole new problem.
“Ouch ” shrieked Sona, she almost half whispered when Dev’s bag fell on her leg and the books scattered near her feet.
She reluctantly picked it up as Joseph spared her a glance. She gave Dev a ridiculous look before returning him his belongings.
In return he made a puppy face giving a apologetic look to her and to be frank she felt it cute .
Once the class was over and everyone cleared out Sonakshi turned towards him.
“Look I know Joseph has told you to assist me , but I will be doing it myself so you don’t have to take the trouble” she said
“Lady, I will just be doing what he has said me to, I can’t be crossing his words” replied Dev
“Yeah right. For a sec I forgot you are his sweetheart” exclaimed Sona rolling her eyes.
She hated to be in this position where she felt forced to follow something she wasn’t found of.
“And Dixit would certainly not be the one, on my ‘like’ list” she murmured.
Dev raised his eyebrow at her but she looked away in annoyance.
“We’ll first let me talk about the thing I have been here, especially for you” he said
“Aww…should I be feeling privileged?” She mocked at him
“Well that’s left to you but what about my novel? Have you lost it by any chance” he asked clearly enjoying her state.
Sona looked at him expressionless. And he was smiling inwards.
She got up and he followed her as Sona took a step forward towards him she slipped and fell .
Dev did try to save her from hitting the floor but he failed miserably
He couldn’t control his laugh seeing her precious expressions. Her face exhibiting every emotion known to man when Dev too fell on the floor rolling on her.
“God you are heavy ” she screamed
Dev looked at her face which was very near to his.
No wonder she looked beautiful in her minimal make up .
She is thin but she is beautiful , he made a mental note.
He removed her front locks that had fallen all over her face. He could smell her hair spray and her fruity cologne.
“Ms Bony ,hold on” he said meekly slowly coming back to his senses.
He got up from her and standing up forwarded his hand to her .
She politely took it instead of making frantic efforts on the slippery floor due to the water spilled on it, the very reason they had fallen.
He pulled her with force and she landed her hands on his chest and her weight shifted on him.
She looked above to meet his gaze,
“You are very tall” she commented
“And so are you complimenting your feathery weight” he replied
” I didn’t fall on you so that you would know how much I weigh” she defended letting go of his shoulders and distancing herself.
“Says Ms Lean” he mocked
“Stop giving me short names and my weight shouldn’t be your concern” she scoffed
“And it isn’t either but my novel is.
It’s there with you or is it on a world tour ?” Asked Dev
Sona kept quite.
“Don’t tell me you lost it!” He said dramatically
“Uff, you and your assumptions Dev, I pity them” she said and took the novel out of her bag and forwarded it towards him .
Dev was left shocked, taking it he looked at it bewildered and started flipping through the pages confirming if it’s the same novel.
“How the heck did she get it?
She had clearly lost it and that’s how I had got it under her bench that day
Did she buy a new one?
Has the stocks come in the bookstores?” He asked himself and he didn’t know the answer to a single question.
He clearly was beyond shocked. Stunned
Being sick today he had come to college even after knowing that he would be late to Joseph’s class only to see how she would tackle this situation but only to find out she passed with brilliant colors at the end
“Good day Dev” she said and walked away smirking.
