SIYA'S POV
It's a new day.
Shyam had left early as he had to pick up Nina .
With yesterday's proceedings I guess he is avoiding me.
He should better make up his mind and stop his mistreatment towards others.
I am not going to allow this ruin my day. I wore my favourite pink top today.
No, it has nothing to do with the pink rabbit, you know. Haha....
I chose a minimal makeup look. No need to go overboard...
I was eager to meet Abel. When I reached class, nobody waa there except him. He is doing something with his colour papers. May be another origami figure.
"Somebody is early today." I commented.
"Goodmorning to you too Siya. By the way you too are early. Cant wait to see me?" He smiled widely.
Although it was the truth but I didn't acknowledge it.
"Oh, come on. My bus is early today. Shyam is avoiding me so I came by bus." I told him.
"So tell me what are you making today?" I asked eagerly changing the 'Shyam' topic.
"You can see for yourself " He told and gestured to watch.
I watched him keenly.
How his lips curled into a soft smile when he gets a fold correct, how his eyes sparkle with each sharpening of corners. Oh I should watch the colour paper not him.
Then I understood. "Wow, you are making a Pikachu" I exclaimed loudly.
He closed his ears and started laughing.
"I kinda like this Pikachu guy. You know, how he was so angry at Ash in the beginning but later on became so attached to him. As you told he indeed is a cutie." He said.
I was in shock..
Yesterday he was unaware of Pikachu and today he is talking as if he is a regular viewer.
" Dont make that face. You are right. I binge watched it yesterday night. Guess I was curious of why you like this guy." After seeing my reaction he told.
He watched it for me. How cute is that.
"You are this cute always?...." I asked softly hiding my smile
"No not always. Only with the ones I like " he winked at me and smirked.
Is he indirectly telling he likes me? I started blushing already.
"There you go here is your Pikachu." He handed me over the cute little yellow Pikachu.
"Thankyou Abel. Thankyou so much..
I like it very much." I gave him a small side hug.
Oh god he smells divine...
I felt a sudden knot inside my stomach.
What is happening...
When I looked at him he was already looking at me. I saw something in his eyes. His eyes darkened. He lowered his head as if to kiss me.
I was getting very sweaty.
I was getting a little out of breath... hyper ventilating... and suddenly I moved away from him and ran outside the classroom.
Flashes of past came running into my mind. I couldn't control my tears....
Oh god please help me...
I think again the panic attacks are coming.
Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around, it was Abel. I took his hand and started to breath hardly.
"I am so sorry Siya, please calm down... nothing is wrong. Relax I am there. Just close your eyes and take deep breaths." He tried to make me relax.
He connect his headphones to his phone and played a soft melody.
"Here, listen to this music and take deep breaths."
I did as he told. I focussed on the song and tried to control my breathing.
After sometime I could feel that I am getting back to normal.
All this time Abel was holding me close to him.
I looked at him with my teary eyes.
"I am so sorry Siya. I shouldn't have done that. I am truly sorry"
I stared into his eyes without telling anything.
How will I tell him that its not him that made me like this?
How will i explain everything to him?
