Ajay: " You said u want to get rid of him, so I'm doing you a favor!! "
Casolina: "Umm.....o.. okay.. "
While all this was going on, Dwarka behaved as if she had seen nothing.
After five minutes Casolina lifted her head.
Then again she turned back to have a look at Satya.
This time both of their eyes meet, Casolina moved her eyes to the direction where people were dancing to avoid eye contact. Then she returned to her original position.
Ajay asked: " So did my plan work ? "
Casolina said with uncertainty : " i don't know..... he seems to be mad, kind of jealous."
Casolina : " But I don't understand your plan at all "
Ajay : " I just wanted him to know ...."
(the rest of the sentence was said very slowly and silently)..." that you are TAKEN!"
Casolina : " Huh????..."
Ajay: " nothing " then he put on his earplugs.
But Casolina heard it very clearly, her heart seemed to be beating at a rate of thousand per minute.
Then Ajay offered her to listen songs with him.
Casolina turned to look at Dwarka , who had her eyes closed pretending to be in deep sleep.
So finally she heard songs with him.
The atmosphere seemed to be very ambiguous, so was their position( for 8th grade student ) they were leaning close to each other.
Ajay seemed to be lost in the songs, he had his eyes closed , humming the tune once in a while. Well he looked quite charming in those dim lights .
What was happening???? thought Casolina.Until now she had never been close to any guy. But she didn't mind it, she let herself to fall asleep.
After an hour, Ajay woke Casolina up . They had returned back to their tuition, it was already 11pm.
Looking at the time, Casolina got up hurriedly and dragged the half asleep Dwarka along with her leaving Ajay alone.
After they got down from the bus they started walking( apparently the bus was parked at the back of the tuition, they had to go to the front).
Dwarka had called her father to come pick them up. Casolina's house was a fifteen minute walk from the tuition, if one walked fast, it would just take ten minutes. So she said she would be fine on her own. But it was late at night, so Dwarka wasn't willing to let her go alone.
Ajay caught up with them and asked if she was ok, then he could walk her to her home.
Casolina agreed, but Dwarka sent a ' be careful with him ' signal with her eyes.
Then Casolina and Ajay started walking , Casolina's house was on the way to Ajay's house.
Casolina remained silent and walked fast, then Ajay asked: " what kind of guy do you like? "
Casolina : " umm... i don't know.."
Ajay: "fine.."
The rest of the journey they continued to be silent.
Then Casolina reached her home, said bye and went inside.
The next day she took a leave from the school as she was very tired.
But she went to tuition in the afternoon.
That day many teachers and students were absent ( most of the teachers in her tuition were her school teachers) as yesterday they were out for picnic and today they had to attend school, so they took a day off from tuition.
Even Tim was absent.
Luckily Dwarka was present so Casolina was not alone.
Casolina was solving her Math problems.
She was so immersed in solving maths that she failed to notice that someone from a classroom adjacent to her was staring at her continuously.
When there were ten minutes left for the classes to be over, she turned to look at the direction of the other classroom.
What she saw gave her goosebumps, Satya was staring at her, and to make things worse he smiled at her.
WTH!!!!!!....
The she looked at Dwarka and said: " Why is Satya looking at me like that? "
Dwarka looked at him and he made a sign to tell her to call Casolina to look at him.
Dwarka: " Fruit he is calling you! "
( Author: my nickname is a fruit, can you guess what my real name is?? If you guess it correctly I'll make a mass release...😊)
Casolina looked at him and he made a gesture as if saying ' to wait outside for him after the classes are over '.
But Casolina made an expression as if she didn't understand what he was saying.
Casolina: " He wants me to wait for him after the classes are over."
Dwarka: "WHAT... what are you going to do ,then?"
Casolina: " I won't wait for him , we will escape!!"
After the classes were over Casolina and Dwarka ran outside as if their lives depended on it.
( Author: that was how me and my friend ran out that day, it was so funny... These are some good memories which keep me away from feeling sad and lonely most of the time. Otherwise thinking about Tim only makes me wanna cry..😢)
Then Casolina and her friend started walking as fastly as they could.
When they turned back to look they saw Satya along with his friend hurrying to catch up with them.
Then Dwarka said " Now you will know how it feels when a guy proposes you for the first time."
( Mukher proposed Casolina after this incident)
Casolina: " Pr..pr..Propose!!!!.... are you kidding me"
Dwarka: " Why do you think is he following us? What do you think is he going to say?"
OMG!!!!!!!
Satya: " Casolina wait!!! "
Even though he said this Casolina still kept walking ahead, she didn't stop.
Soon Satya caught up with Casolina.
Satya: " Hi!! "
Casolina : "Umm.. hi.."
Satya: " Can you slow down a little bit..."
Casolina: " Why? "
Satya: " Nothing i just want to talk to you "
" Yeah ... he just wants to talk to you, just hear what he has to say" Satya's friend chirped in.
Casolina: " ok.. what do you want to say?"
Satya: ".... how are you...? "
Casolina:" i guess I'm fine as you can see"
Then he remained silent, it looked he was having trouble speaking with her.
After sometime Satya asked: " Do you ever get out of your house?"
Casolina: " What kind of question is that? ofcourse i do.... i go to school, tuition..."
Satya: " i mean except that, i don't ever see you outside your house, other girls of your class often hangout but you don't"
( Author: as I have said I'm very introverted i rarely hungout with my friends, there were many of my classmates who lived in the same street as I do)
Casolina: " how do you know that??"
Satya's friend said "of course he knows that, he knows that you get ready to go to school at 9:30, you go to tuition at 4:30, but Satya move on to the main point."
Now when Casolina thought about it , every time she went out of her house to go to school or tuition she would meet Satya midway, she thought it was coincidence .
But now it looks like he was stalking her, so that he could meet her.
Casolina: " Seriously!!!.... were you stalking me???"
Satya: " No....i mean yes.. but I wanted to tell you something right now"
The moment Satya said it Satya's friend slowed down his steps and signalled Dwarka to slow down as well, they kept some distance and let Casolina and Satya walk ahead.
Dwarka wasn't willing to do so but she gave a look at Casolina and slowed down because she thought it would be awkward to step in between them.
Then Satya said : " Actually i have been waiting for this moment... i wanted to tell you that...."
