So her name is Saanvi and I asked Rashi, "Do you know her Rashi?"
"Don't talk to me", she replied, "and yeah we know her as we met her at our school in the science fair in which she stood second with the project named...."
"Internet privacy",she said, "and we are friends on Facebook from that day, Reyansh".
Her name is Saanvi Radhakrishnan , I remembered, the geek girl,I met at that time and yeah her awkwardness didn't changed much as she has no friends in the class and I doubt whether anyone in the class know her name and did she know names of the people in the class.
"It's nice to meet you again Saanvi", said Rashi.
She gave a quick glance to Rashi, "I don't remember you, sorry", she replied with a shaky voice.
How can she not remember Rashi ,who stood first in the science fair, I thought.
"It's ok", Rashi replied and looked at me with wide eyes showing the whites, "why did you picked up a fight with Karthik?"
"I didn't fought, just gave a warning not to disturb me again", I replied with shattered thoughts because it was them who picked fight with me.
"Reyansh don't become a Hero by making this kind of things",she said.
I didn't replied and she walked away and I was standing there with my thoughts running into many ways and I looked at Saanvi and asked, "What do you want?., books to complete your notes".
"No",she replied.
"Okay", I replied and bunked the college on that day.
Rashi avoided whenever I tried to meet her and didn't spoke to me for days and one day I went to Rashi's classroom as I wanted to tell something to her which is most important to me.
I started preparing myself to talk about something serious with her.
"I Love You", said Rashi looking at Karthik.
"I didn't expected this even though I know you from a long amount of time", he replied.
She laughed and I came to my classroom with an aching chest and the world around me seemed to slow down.
I was Fumbling for words as Reyansh looked emotionally drained, suddenly My friend informed me that my match was about to start and Reyansh said in a gentle tone ,"All the Best".
With a little nod I left the place, He didn't even know my name but I was feeling a bit emotional for his story as I was about to spare but it's the time to avoid the distractions in my mind and give the Best, so I tried my Best.
Even with the distraction of his emotional content and with a genuine interest to know what happened next I was qualified for second round.
Even with the distraction of his emotional content and with a genuine interest to know what happened next I was qualified for the second round.
After clearing the First round, I just wanted to know what happened next so I met Reyansh who was looking at another sparring match with a relaxed appearance.
I asked, "Reyansh, what happened next".
"You sparred well", he offered a compliment.
"Another match to conclude, "I replied.
"Formless form always helps",he replied.
"Yeah, but first tell me what happened next in your story", I replied imagining what could happen and hoping for the best.
"I went to my school to recollect some good memories, met my teachers and in the schools break time saw that 2 kids were beating 1 kid, I didn't interfered as that 1 kid is trying hard to stand on and when the 2 kids left him, I met this kid whose nostrils flaring and without asking anything, I just gave him my book, 'Tao of Jeet Kuno Do' and said, 'All the best in your next fight'.
He looked at me and at the book and I left the school...."
Even though Reyansh said what happened , I suddenly remembered the kid whom Reyansh gave the book of Bruce Lee is me.
The One whom I always thanked, when I won a match even though I don't know his name was actually Reyansh.
I wanted to say to Reyansh that, he is the one who helped me in becoming into a martial artist by giving that book but first, I wanted to listen his story and I will tell him about it afterwards.
