Samaira
I read the text and they started pulling my leg. I ignored them and focused on our chat. They both left after an hour. I am left with Dhruv's chat and my feelings for him. I was not able to sleep, I was thinking about Dhruv and that's when his call came. I watched the time, it was around 2 am. I immediately answered the call. He had a panic attack. I tried to calm him down and I was successful in it. After that, he confessed that he liked me and finally we are dating. I told this to Ananya and Ekansh while we were face timing. They both were happy for us.
He was waiting for me after school. Hey, done with your school? He asked. I said, yes. Come on and sit. Where are we going? I asked him. You will know when we will reach there. Oh okay. I can't wait to see where you are taking me. I'm loving this, being in the aura of Dhruv. He is making me comfortable. We reached there, and he took his hand and put them in my eyes. Where are we going? I asked him. Just wait for a few minutes, you will know. And finally, he removed his hands from my eyes. I was mesmerized after looking at the place we are at. The place is surrounded by trees, there are flowers all around, and a pond. There's a joyful silence in that place. And it's just us who are there. Hey, have you liked this place? I loved it, I said. It's my place, I discovered this a few years ago. I come here when I want to get disconnected from everyone when I get tired of everything. "Call me by your name and I will call you by mine", he said. And I fell for him once again. Samaira, I said loudly. And the echo of that sound came back to us. Dhruv, he said and it came back. He took his hand and held mine. He said, come with me and I followed his commands blindly. We sat on the ground at the corner of the pond and our legs were inside the water. How was your childhood, stranger? It was memorable, I was stubborn as hell. I used to cry if anyone did not listen to me. I wanted what I wanted. My family loves me a lot since childhood. Let me tell you my favorite childhood memory. I used to love young teachers when it comes to old ones, I used to cry and tell my mom that I wanted a young teacher, I don't want that old miss. Dhruv was laughing as hell. Okay, tell me one thing Samaira, when I get old, will you leave me? Because how can I stay young forever? Shut up, Dhruv, I was a child back then. I am not going to leave you at any age. We looked into each other's eyes and slowly came close and that's when we kissed.
This place and this moment I am never going to forget in my life. How many members do you have in your family? I asked him, Mom, Dad, and me. Perfect, I said. Tell me a secret of yours about which no one knows. I don't have any Dhruv. Come on stranger okay let me think. I had a crush on my math teacher in my school. I am jealous of him Samaira. I laughed. After an hour we left that place, and he dropped me at my house. We said, bye.
Today was the best day of my life. I am never going to leave you, Dhruv, I said to myself and slept. Just after that my phone chimed, and I was terrified because it was a text from an unexpected person the one I hate, Shrey.
