***************

" There you go, you're here, I searched for you all over the college." These words are of Reyansh which he says while standing behind Aaira who was searching for some books in the library.

And at his sudden voice, Aaira turns back but she is startled and stumbles when she sees him standing very close to her, where there is hardly any space between them, her back touches the book shelf.

And she looks at him and suddenly her heart starts to beat faster seeing him here so close to her, he never came close to her like this before, then why now?

She looks her right and left where there is no one, in the space between two book shelves.

" What happened? What are you looking at here and there?" He asks

Well she didn't expect him to talk to her so normally after what she said to him, she felt she made him sad and maybe there will be hesitation between them again, but seeing him happy at this time, it seems as if he was not affected by anything that happened yesterday and it's okay if it doesn't affect him, that's a good thing.

He's smiling, this is a good thing.

" You here?" she asks, moving away from him and turning towards the book shelf to resume her search for the book.

" Why ? can't I come here?" he says

"I didn't say that..." she says and he looks at her back

" I have come here looking for you." He says, hearing which she thinks something.

" Why? Did you have some work with me?" She asks because she thinks that maybe he might have some work related to studies but somewhere she also knows that maybe that is not the case.

Actually both of them came to the college but they came to know that their first two classes were cancelled and their class would be held after 2 hours.

So in her free time Aaira comes to the library and after not seeing her in the college for a long time, Reyansh also searches for her everywhere and finally comes here.

" I had no work with you, but I was missing you." Aaira gets shocked at his words, didn't she tell him yesterday to move on then why is he talking like this.

And while she is shocked by his words, she is even more shocked when Reyansh, after saying this, stands behind her and puts his chin on her head.

There is a height difference between them as she is 5.6 and his height is 6.1

which makes him bend down and rest his chin on her head comfortably, startling her.

" I haven't seen you for an hour, at least you could have informed me before coming here, I would have come with you." Reyansh says further still keeping his chin on her head.

And on hearing these words of his she thinks why she would informed him anything ? that too when she wants to stay as far away from him as possible.

But at this moment, more than this question, it is important for her to know: why is he near her like this, why is he behaving with her as if there is something more between them except friendship.

" What are you doing ?" Saying this, Aaira is about to move away from him but she is not able to do so when Reyansh holds her in his arms, shocking her even more with his action.

Well that's a different matter she is not feeling uncomfortable with his proximity nor has she ever felt so and she also does not understand why she never feels uncomfortable with his closeness no matter what he did.

But right now she is in shock as to what has happened to him suddenly, that too when both of them talked and everything is over between them, whatever things were between them.

Now both are just friends and friends don't do things like he is doing with her right now.

And on top of that, has this boy lost his fear of people ? Both of them are in the library and yes, that is different matter that there is no one else in the corner where they are at this time but has the fear inside him gone that what will people think if they see him/them like this ?

" I am just trying to spend some time with my childhood sweetheart...Anyway, you search your book, and let me stay close to you." Reyansh says still holding her and resting his chin on her head.

But there, Aaira cannot believe what has happened to him suddenly? Childhood sweetheart? Has he lost his mind? What is he saying?

And there, without thinking much, this time Aaira really separates from him and turns towards him, on which Reyansh makes a sad face as to why she separated from him.

" You are so bad, you don't even let me be with you for a minute." He complains to which she looks at him making a weird face, has he gone mad?

" Have you gone mad?" She finally asks her doubt to which Reyansh mentally smiles, well he has gone mad and of course who doesn't go mad in love.

What is that love in which there is no madness?

But yes right now he is doing what his mother told him, and he really won't give up, he won't move on and now he will make her realize all the time what she means to him, how much he loves her and he will not leave her alone under any circumstances.

And if he gets the tag of a mad person in doing all this, then it is okay.

" Yes I am mad, but only in love with you, otherwise my mind is completely fine." Reyansh says while answering her question, making her eyes slightly wide.

Why is he doing this?

Even after what they both talked about yesterday.

But further Aaira composes herself because she knows that now if she says something then maybe she might say something wrong and she might end up fighting with him and she does not want all this.

She really doesn't want to fight with him now and that's why with this thought in mind Aaira doesn't say anything on his words and she quietly walks away from there without having any further conversation with him.

And Reyansh gets shocked that why did she go away so silently? He thinks something.

Coming out of the library, Aaira sits on a bench under the shade of a tree in the college grounds, finishing reading one of her books in her free time which was incomplete.

There is still half an hour left for her class to start so she is sitting here and passing her time and through reading this book she is also trying to forget what Reyansh said to her in the library.

" Look, now I will get angry if you keep running away from me like this." Aaira gets shocked when Reyansh appears again from nowhere and sits beside her and says these words to her on her coming here from the library leaving him.

She looks to her right where he is sitting and he looks at her angrily after saying this, showing him that he is really angry on her act.

But while thinking something there she doesn't say anything but moves a little to the left on the bench and gets away from him and looks back at her books.

" What is this, you said we won't stop talking, then why are you looking away from me?" He says to which she sighs

She said they will talk as friends but he ?

Well, she maintains silence on this too because she does not want to argue with him in any way.

And there seeing her silent like this, Reyansh smiles slightly

"By the way, what are you reading ?" he asks to which she remains silent

" No problem, main khud dekh leta hu." Saying this, he leans forward a little and looks at the cover of the book and realizes that she is reading a romance novel, which makes him smile.

" What is the use of you reading this romance novel?" He says, to which she looks at him.

" No, I mean, Yesterday you said that you are not interested in things like love, then with whom will you recreate these loving moments that you are reading in this book?" he asks to which she gives him a look but then looks back at her book

" Hmm, For that, you will need me, so that together we can recreate all the scenes that you are reading." He says and at this word she looks at him with a smile and their eyes meet

" I don't need anyone...no one." She says to which he smiles

" You?" Reyansh says looking behind Aaira, on which Aaira is also about to turn back to see who is behind her whom Reyansh is looking at.

But before she can turn completely, she is startled to feel a soft touch on her right cheek and before she could understand anything, she sees that Reyansh got up and went away after kissing her right cheek.

She doesn't understand what just happened to her? Did this really happen? Her hand slowly goes to her cheek where he kissed her.

And then she looks at the field where other college students were at some distance, he kissed her in the middle of the college ?

Suddenly she feels her heart beating faster and she becomes a little uneasy, this shouldn't have happened between them. He shouldn't have done this.

And while thinking about something, her eyes become moist.

Later.

It is time for Aaira's class, so Aaira comes to the class composing herself from that moment, but as soon as she enters the class she sees that Reyansh is already present on his seat and there are some other students as well and some are yet to come and the professor has also not come yet.

Seeing her at the door of the class, Reyansh looks at her with a little shy but happy smile on his own action, however, he gathers some courage and kisses her but now he's feeling little shy, just a little.

But while Reyansh was looking at her with such happiness, there was no expression on Aaira's face and he also understood the reason for it : she asked him to move on but he suddenly did such a thing that obviously she would not expected, looking at her he tries to understand her expression.

But suddenly he gets shocked when Aaira comes inside the class and ignoring him today, instead of sitting with him, she goes and sits on the last bench of the class which was empty.

Their seats have been on the first bench since the beginning, so why did she sit at the back today? He thinks

And Reyansh without thinking much comes straight to the back bench and sits next to her on which she sighs.

Why is he not leaving her alone?

" Why are you sitting here?" he asks her to which she doesn't say anything

" I am asking you something, why are you not talking to me, you said you will not stop talking to me..." he reminds her of what she said yesterday.

" Along with this I said something else too, did you accept that? No, then I too will not do what I said...we will not talk now." She clears it, to which he looks at her.

"What else did you say? I don't remember anything." He says to which she gives him a look indicating that don't be over smart but then she thinks of reminding him again

" I told you to move on, nothing can happen between us, then why are you doing all this again....... she says but is unable to say further when he silences her.

" One minute...." he says and rubs his ears

"What did you say, I couldn't hear anything..." he says after rubbing his ears to which she gives him a look when she realizes what he's trying to do

" I told you to move on." she says again, seeing his drama

" Arre yaar, It seems there is something wrong with my ears, I can't hear anything again, what are you saying, I can't hear it or understand it...Well, when I am not able to hear then how will I follow your order ?" he says still rubbing his ear pretending he has a problem

" Never mind, I will get my ears treated then maybe I will be able to hear you." he says to which she gives him a look

" Look, I am understanding everything.....but why are you not understanding...main tumse fir se kisi tarah ki ladai nahi karna chahti....but you are not leaving me any option..." Tired of his antics, she tells him to which he looks at her

Well, he smiles at her words that she doesn't want to fight with him again in any other way.

" Ladai nahi karna chahti, to pyar kar lo mujh se...That's a good option." he says with his mischievous smile to which she glares at him

" How did you hear me now, did your ears get better?" She asks angrily to which he bites his tongue

" Yes, the thing is that I can hear your good things, but I cannot hear those things which have no meaning, which cannot happen." He says, to which she looks at him, understanding his words that he will not move on.

" Why did you kiss me? Look, I didn't like it at all...you shouldn't have done that." she says angrily

" You are reacting as if I am doing it for the first time." He says with all his innocence to which she gives him a look...obviously this is the first time he has done it, he has kissed her.

" Mom told me, I kissed you on your first birthday...so you didn't ask any question then, then why today?" He again says making his innocent face

And her mouth drops open at his words, has he really gone mad?

She was one year old, she didn't even know how to speak and she would ask him why did he kiss her that time ?

" You really look crazy right now." She says to which he smiles

" Look, I don't think I did anything wrong by kissing you, but Yes, if you are feeling bad because I kissed you, then do one thing, you also kiss me, the score will be settled." he says to which she glares at him

"Do it..." he says showing her his cheek to which she looks at him making a weird face

" Okay, don't do it, here I will do it again." Saying this, Reyansh kisses her on her left cheek this time, making her eyes widen.

Doesn't he have a brain, both are in class.

But now before she could react or say anything, all the students stand up when the professor enters the class.

Both of them also stand at their place and Aaira looks at Reyansh who has a mischievous smile on his face after doing his antics.
