chapter 9

“Does that boy care for me? Does he love me? Or is he just a flirt looking for timepass? Hey, wait, wait. How can you say that he is just doing timepass? You have never talked to him. He may be a good boy. Who knows? I have never given him any chance.”“Should I give him a chance? Oh ho, what I am thinking. I am in love with Nikhil and I am thinking of giving a chance to him. I think my mind is going crazy. I should try to sleep now.” I closed my eyes and turned to my left side. Luckily, I drifted into sleep. The Next DayIn school, I was sitting alone. Vaishali was on leave. Rajni mam was teaching in the class. I was looking at her but my mind was looking on its own screen. The image of that unknown boy was flashing on my mind’s screen again and again. I thought for a second, “He is handsome.”I looked at Nikhil and thought, “He is much more handsome than him.” Suddenly, I felt as if someone was shouting at me. “Divya, can’t you hear? I am asking you!”I came back to my senses. That shout was of Mam Rajni! She asked loudly again, “What do you mean by light?”I stood up and said, “Mam, light?”She yelled, “Yes, light.”I thought for a couple of seconds and said, “Light is… light is….energy.”She shouted angrily, “What? Was I teaching this?”I thought, “It’s better to tell the truth.” I said, making an innocent  face, “Mam, I am really very sorry. I missed it.”She said astonishingly, “How can you say that? I have been teaching about it for the last fifteen minutes and you missed the whole thing.”I caught my ears, just like a small child and said very innocently, “Mam, I am really very sorry. I will not repeat it.” Her heart melted to hear that, she said, “Okay, sit down. Now, listen to me carefully.” I smiled and settled on my chair. I said to myself within my mind, “Thank God, I escaped.”The bell of the last period rang and the school was over. I got on my scooty, still thousands of thoughts were racing my mind, started it and set off for home. While I was riding my scooty, I don’t know why, I was waiting for the same boy to chase me. I didn’t want to do it but I was continuously looking into the rear view mirror to find him. A thought crossed my mind, “Hey, what happened to you? Why are you looking again and again into the rear view mirror? Are you interested in the same boy? Have you gone mad?”I answered myself within my mind, “No, I am not waiting for him. I am simply looking into the mirror.” Somewhere, I felt I lied to myself. I started ignoring the arising questions in my mind. Perhaps, I didn’t want to dig deep into the real reality of my mind. Suddenly, I saw him in the rear view mirror of my scooty. Today, he was alone. My heart started beating faster. I don’t know why I said to myself, “Oh ho from where did he come?” I increased the speed of my scooty. He also increased the speed of his bike. “Oh God, he is following me even now. Today, he will not leave me.” One question popped up in my mind, “Do you like him or hate him?” I answered myself, “He is just a stranger to me. There is no question of liking or hating him.”I turned my scooty to the main road which didn’t go to my house. Another question popped up in my mind, “Hey, what are you doing? You should go home.” I answered myself, “Today, I want to see how long he can follow me.” I asked myself, “Are you sure?” I answered myself, “Yes, I am sure.”I turned the accelerator of the scooty more. He also shifted the gear of his bike and increased his speed. Perhaps, he sensed from my body language that I was challenging him. I looked into the rear view mirror. He was still behind me. I increased the speed of my scooty more. He also increased the speed of his bike more. This time, I didn’t look into the rear view mirror. I turned my face and looked back at him and increased the speed of my scooty to the full.My looking back increased his confidence manifolds. He also increased the speed of his bike to the full. A bike is a bike and a scooty is a scooty. His bike crossed my scooty. I slowed down my pace. Seeing me, he also slowed down his pace and came exactly at the right side of me. He looked at me and smiled. I didn’t want to smile back but don’t know what happened to me, I smiled back! Suddenly, I felt a dirty feeling arising from my heart. I started becoming uncomfortable. I turned my scooty and started going home. He again started chasing me. Suddenly, my face lost colours. I myself looked back to see him. He looked at me, applied the brakes and stopped right there. Perhaps, he noticed that my face had lost all its colours. I reached home and hurriedly walked to my room, slamming the door behind. I fell on the bed. Then I realized I should latch the door from inside because I was sensing the oncoming of an emotional tornado within my heart and mind. I got up, quickly latched the door and dropped myself on the bed. Thousands of thoughts started racing in my mind. A tornado of mixed kind of feelings had erupted. I was also experiencing dirty feelings and also some kind of excitement feeling. I was feeling something fresh and also something very filthy. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
