~"Damn .!!!...I never thought studies could get so tough ...it's all getting on my nerve..!! "
Aashia whined...I was sitting next to her with my head down on my desk ...taking a nap after hours of continuous classes and homework...
~"I agree..!!"
Joined isha ...I looked at both of them and sighed...
~"Our first test is tomorrow...are you both prepared...??"
All three of us looked at each other and smiled awkwardly...
~"Oki...we all have worked so hard ...why are we not confident ...I think we should trust ourselves and ...just focus on tomorrow's test...!!..ok..??"
Isha and Aashia both nodded happily...
~"FIGHTING!!!"...
We all said together ...although studies were tough and most of our time was consumed due to our studies...still...all three of us always used to enjoy our fullest whenever we used to get that bit of time...
~"Ok...so today is our last day ...at the doubt counter with ...Apoorv sir..."
Both isha and Aashia looked at me together ...I blushed...
~"w-what.??..why are you looking at me..!!??"
They both laughed and replied...
~"We just want to ask ...should we give him some kind of gift...like a chocolate maybe...it would be weird if we give something expensive...but I think he won't mind if we give him a small chocolate...right..??...to express our gratitude you know...After all he spend so much time and effort in clearing our doubts and teaching us...!!"
I nodded...
~"yea ...I think you are right...let's buy a chocolate for him after school.."
~"oki..!!!"
After school we went to a sweet store together ...we were just a few meters away from the store when, Aashia stopped suddenly...
~"Oh no..!!..I just remembered that I need to take notes from Namya ...Isha can you come with me ??...I don't want to go back alone...
Is it ok ananya. ??..."
~"Yea sure...my home is not too far from here I can go alone..."
~"oki...thanks...bubyee..."
Aashiya pulled Isha with her and ran back towards school...I went into the store .
It was a huge store filled with all kinds of sweets...I searched for the one we decided to take for Apoorv sir . It was kept at the top of a shelf ...I tried to reach for it but the shelf was too high for me to reach...I stood on my toes and as I was trying to reach for the chocolate again...I lost my balance and slipped ...and just when,... I was about to fall ...someone grabbed me from my waist and broke my fall...I looked up to see who saved me and saw...
~"APOORV SIR..!!!"
I said out loud..
He smiled and pulled me up...
~"I can hardly belive that you are still alive while being so bad at staying on your feet...how do you manage to fall so easily...??"
I was still blushing and this question turned me even more red...Oh how do I manage to embarrass myself in front of him so easily...??!!
~"Umm..I-I was trying to reach that chocolate and... lost my balance...t-thank you so much and s-sorry ..."
I mumbled ...
~"Are you oki..??..Are you hurt somewhere..??..Do you need me to take you to the doctor..??"
~"Ahh...no ...I'm fine...thanks again.."
He smiled and looked at the chocolate I was trying to reach...He took that chocolate from the shelf and handed it to me...
~"Here you go...You like sweets ??"
~" Yea...I love sweets..!!.."
I replied excitedly...He chuckled looking at my expression .
~"Umm...Do YOU like sweets..??"
I asked him . He took another chocolate , same as which I took and looked at me...
~"Who doesn't..??...infact this one is my favorite..."
He smiled at me...and we both went to the counter for payment together...when I was about to pay for my chocolate he stopped me and said...
~"Tomorrow is your first test right.??..let me buy it for you as good luck.."
He was about to pay for it when I realised that something was wrong...that's when I realised that I am buying that chocolate for him so I can't let him pay for it or else...it would all mess up. I grabbed his hand as he was about to pay and said ..
~"NO..!!..Umm...actually I'm not buying this for me but for someone else...so I can't let you pay for this...so sorry.."
~"Oh ...sure..."
We paid for our chocolates and went out of the store . Outside the store he stopped and turned towards me and said ...
~"I need to go to school directly from here...so...are you going to your home or to school..??.."
~"No ...I need to go home first ...I left some if my books at my room so ...I need to pick them up..."
~"Hmm...oki but...we can't go on separate ways till you don't leave my hand...so if you don't mind..."
He smirked and looked at my hand still holding his hand tightly...I was so nervous back in the store that I completely forgot that I was still holding his hand...I quickly pulled my hand back and started apologising...
~"I-I am so s-sorry...I didn't m-mean it...I swear...I'm sorry...please forgive me..."
I started blabbering...He giggled and patted my head gently...
~"It's ok... you don't need to get so scared...look at you...you are stammering.."...
I blushed and started looking down...to avoid eye contact with him...He smiled and said...
~"Here...take this...all the best for tomorrow..."
He gave his chocolate to me...
~"But it's yours...how can I..??"
~"Don't worry ...I'll buy another one later...just take it and go home...we have class in half an hour...and I don't like unpunctual people...so...get going....bubyee...takecare.."
He said this and went towards the school...I was still standing in a daze...with both the chocolates in my hand... looking towards the way he went...
