"Hello.."she said roughly clearing her throat."Hghm..hghm..Hello Sid".She said in such a weak voice as if she was anxious of something.
Voice of Aarohi triggered him immediately.He understood that something was not on its place."Hello!Aarohi!Is everything okay?"
"Yeah!...ev..everything is o..okay."her voice made his mind go crazy.
"Aarohi,tell me everything right now or I'll fly to city S immediately leaving all of my schedule here."
"Don't..Don't.I'll tell you..I'll tell everything"
"You better do that"
"A boy in my new school announced that he is courting me.I have never gone through such kind of situation.I already got 34 missed calls from 18 people.I wasn't scared before but when I saw those call I got anxious as if something is really not okay."
"So a boy said he is courting you?"Sid confirmed.
"hmm"Aarohi replied.
After two seconds of silence,Sid broke out in laughter"hahaha...hahaha.."
a perplexed expression could be traced on Aarohi's face.
"Dude,Who is that guy with such a bad taste?"Sid teased her intentionally to lighten her mood.Actually Sid was worried about these situation but he didn't want Aarohi to get worried, so he quickly got back to serious mode and said,"Don't worry,just focus on your studies.I will tell Aaditya,he will handle everything.And don't tell Chhote Papa(younger father,Mr. Jain)till situation is under control."
"hmm"she replied obediently.
"Why are you getting calls from people?Courting a girl is not great deal now a days."
"They say that Sid is any kind of most eligible single and every girl in the city is courting him.May be I drew attention of people because of his announcement."
"hmm....Don't worry and never ever again try to hide something from me."
"yess..boss."she said with joy as if Sid did any spell to lighten her mood.
She hung up and went to canteen with Minie.
"What have you thought to do with Faisal?"Minie asked curiously,"Are you really gonna reject him?"
"Dude,options are rejected.He is not even in my options."Aarohi replied as she walked towards a table to sit.
"Then,where am I?"a voice came from behind.
Aarohi and Minie turned back and as expected,it was Faisal.
"I asked if I am not in your options then where am I."Faisal looked into Aarohi's eyes making an eye contact.Faisal took a step towards Aarohi.As Aarohi saw that,she immediately took a step back.A scene was already created and everyone in canteen were looking towards two of them.Being an introvert Aarohi was not accustomed to such attention,and that moment she began to get anxious.
"Aarohi!" A voice came from back of Faisal.It was Aaditya.Faisal turned back and had a glace of a boy.
"No..you again."Faisal grunted.
"Go back home now."Aaditya ordered her firmly because he knew that Aarohi will become anxious as soon as she catches attention.
If Faisal was trying to threaten her,then she would have beaten him into pulp but the moment people started staring at her,she couldn't help herself.
On the order of his brother,she nodded and went back leaving the two boys behind.As she left,both of them were staring at each other just like two lions would stare before fighting with each other.
"I warned you to stay away from her."
"First tell me,who are you?Why do you always meddle in her business?Why does she obediently follow your orders?"a series of questions was kept in front of Aaditya by Faisal.
"Do you really think I am here to sate your curiosity?"Aaditya smirked as he continued,"Don't ever appear in front of her again.Otherwise I'll have to get her family involved and that won't be too good for you.I suppose,you understand what I mean."
What Aaditya actually meant was that Faisal was a Muslim and in their country it was great deal if a boy of different religion court a girl of other religion.
Aaditya went back and called Sid.
"Hello,bro,I tried to handle the situation but if it goes out of control,I'll make uncle to get involved."
"Better"a cold voice came from other side.
....
House of Jains
When Aarohi arrived at her house,she saw a bunch of girls around her mother.As these girls saw Aarohi,all of them went to her and enclosed her and a series of question was showered over her.And the very first question was,
"When are you and Faisal,the great, start dating?"
