"Sir.. I called her as you said. She refused to come, she is not feeling well" Saurav informed Harsh who was watching Ash dancing gracefully.
Ash convinced Harsh that she can choreograph their dance. After watching her dance Harsh was more than pleased with the idea.
At the same time he was also angry at kavi. And why is he angry at her? Please don't ask him, Coz even he don't know.
"Ash that's perfect. You're going to choreograph our performance" he addressed ash ignoring saurav's words.
"Will she come tomorrow?" he asked sternly turning his head towards saurav.
"She didn't said anything about tomorrow?" Saurav replied.
Harsh dismissed saurav nodding his head slightly. He frowned in disappointment and anger.
"What happened harsh?" Ash asked concerned touching his shoulder.
"Nothing, let's continue" he smiled ignoring her question.
Ash was feeling like she has reached on the top of the world dancing with harsh. But there was someone who was envying harsh for having Ash.
He desired to make her his dance partner. But before he could say anything Harsh grabbed the opportunity. He was good friend of harsh, he was Jai verma.
Jai was paired opposite Sia, but his concentration was wandering around Ash instead of his dance and partner.
He lost his hope after auditions completely when Harsh chose Ash for him after Ash's audition.
But during announcement of results his hope aroused again as he observed Harsh's interest towards another girl.
He felt this as a chance. Even though Harsh was her dance partner, he doesn't seem to be interested towards her. So he still has a chance with her.
He thought, She is still a school girl of sweet 16, so he planned he might start it with a chocolate.
"Hey...Ash" Jai approached her nervously.
It was break time. Everyone gathered in canteen. Ash, nandu and vasu were sitting in their usual place.
"Hi Jai" she said with her radiant dimpled smile.
That was enough to weaken him in his knees. He started to stare at her standing at the table which made her uncomfortable to eat her lunch.
"Huh..Jai.. You can have lunch with us, if you don't mind. Anyways kavi is not there so her chair is vacant" vasu broke in his dreamland.
"Yup.. Sure" he took the seat between ash and nandu.
The lunch went quite awkward with Jai staring ash all the way. After lunch vasu and nandu dispersed to their respective partners.
Ash was still sitting with Jai but not with him. She was busy in applying some touch up to her face.
Without wasting time Jai made his move. He slowly pushed a chocolate from his side of the table to ash's side.
Ash noticed this and smiled funnily looking at him.
"What's this?" she asked laughing.
"Chocolate. Don't you like chocolate?" he asked bewildered.
Her laugh frightened him, is he looking like a joker?
"I know it's a chocolate. But why are you giving me this? I'm not a kid" he chuckled at her answer.
"So you're not a kid? Then who are you?" he asked huskily and drowned in her black orbs dreamily.
She understood completely his intentions and she thought his ways were very cute. She was loving his gestures and would have reciprocated if only she hadn't her mind on harsh.
"Umm.. Jai..I'm.. Actually I'm getting late. Catch you later" she spoke out leaving him disappointed.
After break, the rehearsals went quite well. But awkward for nandu as sushanth asked her for a date all of a sudden.
She hesitated but then she couldn't deny. He was being a gentleman and very nice towards her.
On the other hand vasu was having a lot of fun. Ash was waiting for Harsh to ask her out, but he was being very professional to her.
The whole day he just minded his own business and nothing else.
The day ended somewhat exciting, fun and nervous. Ash, nandu and vasu decided on their way back to home to call kavi as they got to know from other students that she's not well.
------------------------------------------------------
Harsh was driving back home on his triumph street triple. He was passing through the town's riot market.
Thats when, his goggles covered orbs met a familiar face which made him to hit the brakes. He removed his goggles and smiled at the sight before him.
It was kavi in her knee length, 3/4th sleeves light blue frock. Her hair was made into two braids. She was looking deadly cute.
She was bargaining with a vegetable seller on the footpath. His lips curved into a bright smile which were pursed the whole day.
He chuckled watching the way she was talking to that seller. Her lips were making cute turns. Her braids were so long and they looked more attractive when she flipped them front and back while talking.
Suddenly realisation hit him. That guy told him that she was not well, but here she was absolutely fine.
Actually she seems to be more fine than yesterday. Yesterday she was being so shy. He thought he should deal with her tomorrow.
But again he doubted what if she doesn't come tomorrow. So he decided to confront her then and there.
He drove his bike to the footpath, where she was still unconvinced with the vegetable prices.
"Kavi" she stood numb hearing the voice behind her.
She turned back stiffening herself to face those breathtakingly intimidating brown orbs that haunted all the night.
She was right, it was Harsh. Her lips parted and eyes widened watching him glaring at her.
"Someone said that someone is not well" he said emphasising 'someone' sarcastically.
She just stood staring the vegetable bag in her hand. Tears began to form in her amber eyes.
Harsh noticed her nervousness but ordered her acting rudely "Get on the bike".
"Sir it's.. It's okay. My house is not so far, I'll walk" she gestured moving her two fingers like walking.
"Do as you're told to" he gritted his teeth and she stumbled back a bit looking his fierce side. If she hesitates more it will only turn his mood worse. So better obey.
She didn't bargained with the seller further. Just dropped in her bag whatever vegetables he gave him at the price he said with her shivering hands.
"What are you waiting for?" Harsh spat at her with a furious look making her jerk in her place.
But innately for a while she even thought that even in a bad mood he was looking damn hot. 'Shut your stupid feelings kavi'.
She timidly stepped down the footpath and sat holding the vegetable bag with one hand and holding the back support of the bike with another, with her both legs at one side.
"What are you doing?" he yelled at her frustrated. She jerked again at his voice. What has she done now?
"Don't sit one side like an aunty" he gritted his teeth turning his face to her. She widened her eyes in shock. Is this even a problem to him?
"But sir.. My frock is just upto knees, I can't sit stretching my legs two sides" she said biting her lips. He chuckled at her shyness.
"You've beautiful legs, trust me" he smirked at her devilishly. Lust floating in his dangerous brown orbs.
He licked his lips staring at her lips which she noticed and tilted down her head immediately.
He smiled and raised his bike waiting for her to sit. She got on the bike as he said and he took over the ride.
Kavi gave directions to her house and sat quietly behind him putting the vegetable bag between his back and her chest.
She held the back support of the bike with both her hands so tightly as Harsh was driving very fast. She thought to tell him 'Mr. Toofaan... Please drive the bike on land, not in air'.
But obviously how can she even dare to talk to him like that.
She checked her surroundings, they weren't familiar to her. Those surroundings don't even relate to her colony.
She kept her eyes open all the way. She didn't even recognise when they left behind her house area just within a blink.
"Sir.. Sir.. You've left my house behind. Sir?" she yelled to reach his ears in the loud noise of horns.
Hitting a sudden brake he stopped which made her to stumble forward but thanks to her vegetables bag, she didn't thrashed into Harsh.
"Get down" he said seriously taking off his goggles. She got down with her bag and stood beside the bike.
She looked around her. They've reached some unfamiliar posh city area. It was getting dark already and the city lights were lit on.
"You can come with me if only you sit hugging me and not holding the back support" he said smirking at her.
