chapter 7
School Love
Ansihka waited by the glass wall of a clothing store, while Ruhan stood in the queue for the tickets. Looking around with worried expression, she caught notice of Ruhan who smiled at her looks."You're looking so cute like that," Ruhan pointed towards her expression as she walked to stand beside him."Are you making fun of me?", she said and pouted."Who will dare to!", Ruhan spread his hands casually and laughed."You're an idiot!"Ruhan laughed again, while Anshika kept looking guilty.Moving in the queue, as Anshika kept a watch towards the elevators and the whole floor, as much as she could see, Ruhan whispered into her ears,"This guilt does not look good on my girl."Anshika again felt goosebumps while his lips touched her ears and she could not help blushing. "That makes you look better."Ruhan whispered again.Purchasing the tickets they went inside the dark movie theater. The movie started playing and Ruhan would occasionally shove his hands over Anshika's which would make her flutter.Coming out of the movie theater, they headed towards the food court where they sat facing each other."You know Ruhan, I never thought I would someday go out with you.""What do you mean? Did you think of this earlier?", Ruhan asked raising his eyebrows."I used to have a crush on you in the junior classes, but when you started dating I stopped thinking about you." Ruhan was surprised at Anshika's words in their first date. "Ohh, I didn't know that! If I knew it earlier, I would have always asked out then," he smiled placing his hands on hers and suddenly Anshika felt a ring slipped through her finger, and Ruhan's eyes were confident as he blushed. Holding up her hand closer to her she observed her ring, quite surprised by this act of Ruhan."I love you Anshika.", he said holding her hand.Anshika kept quiet as her cheeks flush red."I love you too, Ruhan!", she exclaimed.They enjoyed their lunch looking into each other at the eye.Anshika felt happy, as Ruhan slid her fingers one at a time to hold her hand and gripped it tightly as they walked. They looked at each other in the eyes stopped at the street, smiling and blushing. "When are we doing this again?"Anshika pouted."Seems like someone has got brave?"Ruhan said teasing her."Very funny!", Anshika pouted again, while Ruhan kept looking into her eyes, which made her melt."Do you want me to drop you home?", Ruhan gestured with his hands to which Anshika freaked out."No! You can't walk me home like that. What if we get caught?""Someone is not brave now," Ruhan whistled."Hey, don't say like that. You want me to prove to you my bravery? So then let's go!""Hey, no, no! I didn't mean to get you angry," Vishal stood making a cute face. "Then whay did you mean to do?", Anshika squinted her eyes."Nothing, I just wanted to spend some more time with my Anshika," he pouted."Even I want to, let's walk together."Vishal grew happy and they walked together till the bus stop.Asking Ruhan to wait for her, for a while she quickly went inside the public restroom and got changed to her uniform."Today was amazing!" Anshika whispered in Ruhan's ears before she got up on the bus.He stood blushing and waving at Anshika who looked proud enough to make the move.Anshika felt joyous throughout her journey and wanted to tell Siya about the day, same as Ruhan wanted to speak to Aditya.
