chapter 24

Anshika entered her class to find Siya excitedly waiting for her. She blushed looking at her."What's the matter?"Siya held up her hand and Anshika saw a ring on her finger."Ankit proposed to me yesterday.", she said with a smile. "Oh that's amazing. Let me see it."Anshika said taking hold of Siya's hands."It's lovely! Where did he propose to you?""After school, we met at the Cafe and he proposed to me.""That's so nice of him!", Anshika got excited for a while."Yes! We'll be going out tomorrow. He'll be taking me to this club.""What? So will you be drinking?""What? No!""It's alright then.""Yeah, I love him so much now."Anshika smiled at her.During recess Anshika told Ruhan about Ankit's proposal to her and he was also quite happy hearing that."That's quite lovely.""Yes, indeed."Ruhan passed his hands along Anshika's to hold between her fingers as they talked.In the evening Siya called up Anshika to inform her about her going out with Ankit. "Have fun tonight!"Anshika sat on her bed and talked to Ruhan. He made her blush, by talking of their romance the other day. The next few days Siya didn't turn up to school which made Anshika worried. She didn't even pick up her calls and so she made up her mind to talk to Ankit."Hey Ankit, where's Siya?""How am I supposed to know that?", he answered quite arrogantly."Aren't you her boyfriend?""Huh? Boyfriend? Who said you that? She's just a boring fling.""What!""What makes you act like that?""Your audacity to speak like that about Siya! Do you know how much she loves you?""Certainly! She is the most boring girls I've ever dated. Now just let me go."Anshika turned back to find Aditya standing just behind them, his hands made into a tight fist. Grabbing Ankit by his collar he punched him hard on his face which got into a fight. Unable to stop them, the teachers had to intervade the situation and left them with strict warnings. Ruhan rushed from the courtyard while Anshika took Aditya to the medical room."What's all this?""Aditya and Ankit got into a fight."Anshika narrated him the whole incident, whispering outside the medical room which made Ruhan rush inside and hug Aditya. Anshika directly went to Siya's place after school and told her she got to know about her and Ankit. Hugging her tight she shed tears of anger against him. "He took me out and false proposed me only to get that girl back!"Consoling her Anshika took a leave, not speaking about Aditya's fight with him.In the evening she called up Ruhan."How's Siya?""I asked her to come to school tomorrow, but didn't tell her about Aditya.""Why? You know he loves her.""I want Aditya to confess, not me.""Yeah, that's better.""This Ankit dared to hurt Siya!""Calm down, he's a bastard."They talked for a while about them both before keeping down their phones. Anshika thought of talking to Siya at school.
