Second Chance # 7

ARNAV THE SWEETEST NAME :

 

 

 

 

Hi Arnav.. : Khushi addressed him..

But Arnav he was Lost again lost in his trance not trance this time, but the name, a name which he use to know, a name to which people recognise him, a name which is his identity, suddenly feels like Alien to him, completely Alien. He don't know what she is saying but she is saying something her lips are moving with some rhythm, is she speaking to him or someone else but there is no one here around us, everything feels like so empty, seems like there are only two of us exist. Arnav!! how can my name carry so much sweetness suddenly? How?? Can I remove those glasses from her eyes so I can read them more carefully.. Can I ?? He asked himself. Those eyes are pure as honey, how much I tried in last weeks to find her and now she is standing in front of me, and all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow. The doubt that I was dreaming that time, doubt that I won't be able to see her again, doubt that I won't be able to move those wrinkle from her forehead. But why now she have those on her forehead ? Doesn't she knows that now I am with her to remove all the traces of bad memories or I will keep any evil thoughts far away from her. Then why she is feeling uncomfortable, to whom she is seeing now, look at me Khushi..

Mr. Raizada : he heard her say.

Mr. Raizada, he flinch on her approach, seriously he thought. Did she just address me as Mr. Raizada? Yes she did, he assure himself. But why dammit. It doesn't suit me, I am ASR, she should know that, It is not cool at all. huh

He tighten his jaw and said : Yes Miss Gupta.

Khushi with stern face : Should we start our work?
Arnav just nod in yes, as he don't want to be rude with this angle face girl. Angel face! Yeah but she is so.. So...Attitude.. yes she got a tight Attitude, but if he doesn't read wrong, she is faking it. Her eyes and her Attitude doesn't match. What ever! He thought and try to avoid more thought regarding this. But he is so wrong, can he now avoid her now, to whom he tried to search all over the college and almost half of the city too, by telling his friends if they know such a girl, and he was been a laughing stock for them for a week, how can he avoid her know, when she is just inches away from him, not even inches he can easily detect the warmness of her body which is touching his every sense and making him almost mad.. Why in his life every things come in almost situations..
He gesture her to his bench so they can start their work, she just took a step and suddenly she turn around, her hair brush his face, due to that he have to take step back, their sudden proximity is not good in the centre of whole class.
She almost whisper to him: Can we sit somewhere else as this place is very noisy, I won't be able to concentrate.
Alone, without anyone around, not at all good idea Arnav, he thought but he go against it, first time she ask him something, how can he not fulfil her wish. A wish of stranger, from when ASR start thinking like this?
Without any word he gesture her with his hand to exit gate.
Without any words she turn around to exit and Arnav follow her. He catch his phase and start walking with her.
She said : Arnav...
Arnav again his name ring in his ears, again the same nectar, why she used his name again.. ARNAV... ARNAV.. So much affection, so much tenderness, he never felt before, again everything got blur, everything got stuck in it place, surround is like no more exist, again only both of them. How can my name be so sweet suddenly, or she is saying it with her tender voice, tender as melody, I can hear my name from her mouth for years any will never feel bored, how can she use her power over me, it is a crime, she can't do that, she turn around but I am still in same position, as a statue, she is waiting for me, yes she want some answer but what was the question. I didn't hear her. I just hear Arnav, my name, Yes she address me by my name, so sweet, I can not judge what was sweet, her address to me or my name from her mouth, both are like so much for me to handle, My name was never so sweet as it is now, from her mouth. No one has ever said my name like this, and If I am not wrong no one has never address me by my name before, just some professor, and I can bet no one sound like this, as worshipping it.. What is wrong with me.. Worship from when I start thinking like this, what the hell is wrong with me? Shit!!!
Crap! What she just said after my name.. Holy Shit, I don't know, how can I be so crap man. but I won't show her anything. Can I? Hell No! But what she asked?
Arnav : You asked something?
She look around and again leave for exit.
What is wrong with her, why this angle like face is behaving so.. so... Pathetically.. Yes pathetic is a right word for this behaviour. He took a deep sign and follow her again.
When they reached out of the sight of student she stop and turn around to face him.

Khushi with stern face : You know Arnav. She stop in between and start biting her lower lip.
Not again dear. He thought but this time, he was prepared, he want to know what she is saying.

Arnav with smile on his face ask her : Yes Khushi what their?
She gulp the lump in her throat : You know you can change your partner.

What change my partner, Hell no! tell her that I don't want to change her, why she thought that? Does she want to change me. Yeah that can be possible, he start thinking, his smile get vanish in space, some where far away. Doesn't she know I was searching her all over the city, and even in my entire life I never let people make fun of me, but for her i let them do that. And now she wants to change partner, is she rejecting me.. Hell no! What she said, "you can change" it means she think I want to change my partner but why, why she thought that?
Hey look to angle like face girl, what she is looking down now, he follow her gaze but there is nothing down, he again look toward her but her gaze is still down, she is placing her glasses on her nose again and again. He so wanted to look in her eyes to know why she said that, and unknowingly he put his hand under her chin and tilt it up to look in her eyes. But when their eyes meet it was not he assume to be, her eyes are not like before, they are out of her eye socket, it seems like bigger then foot ball stadium, but why? She look shock and little horrified too. But again question remain same, why?? but it got it answer as soon as his eyes follow her gaze which is looking to his hand and then to his eyes simultaneously. He suddenly drop his hand, it is like most uncomfortable moment of his life he has ever witnesses.

Crap!! Crap!! Crap!! I am a jerk, jack ass I am, how can I do this, and to HER.. Who is she and what is she doing to me..Urggghhh...
Okay, He thought and took a deep breath and prepare himself for the battle. Battle, are you serious, who is going to do battle with this Angel face girl, and second point, why am I saying her angel face girl again and again. You are crap Raizada. He comment on himself.

Arnav broke the silence after all, he is Arnav and he can do anything : So, Khushi.. where you want to go? It is the best way to talk in such situation he guess. Asked her what she wants. Right? and neglect her question to change the partner. great ASR he patted himself.
Khushi shook herself, as she was in deep thought when he approach her : Library will do great work for me.. And then she sigh..
She is not an angel, she is a devil, a big and scary devil.. He thought and step back unconsciously.
