Growing feelings

chapter : 4

He kept talking non-stop without listening to me. He showers me with so many questions that i Don't know which one should i answer first. He kept asking me worriedly that- what happened? I'm feeling shy and thinking how to answer his questions.

After some hesitation i told him that it’s a girls problem, but he is not ready to listen to me.and keep asking me questions. At last when i have no other choice, i told him that I'm on my days right now and that's why i was not going to College these days. After i finish this sentance, he finaly understand what I'm saying. As slowly realization hit him his eyes grew wide. After that he suddenly become quite not looking into my eyes. I notice that he is blushing and that is a shocking thing for me because this macho man of mine never feels shy or blushing.

He start talking while shuttering - ohh...

After sometimes he again kept asking me questions. Do you need anything,? Are you still uncomfortable? Listening to him and seeing his concern feeled eyes my heart warm up. I told him I'm fine now.

During our conversation my ma come inside my room and asked us if we need anything. We gave her a negetive response but as always she is not going to listening to us. She told us to wait a littile as she send us some snacks and strictly order us that we have to finish them all. After she left my room again there was a pin-drop silent. But it was a comfortable silence.

Sometimes later ma send food for us. After sometimes he left from my home not after conforming that i am alright or not. After he left i was deeply thinking that what makes him feel that i was avoiding him on purpose these days. I saw the panic in his eyes as if he is afraid that what if i would not talk to him anymore. Sometimes i thought what makes me like him so much or should i say love him like crazy. We are childhood friends and our relationship is quite plain and pure. I also think so until i realised my feelings. But the funny part is all our friends and family members are always know this think going to happened. They always tease us about this but we denied it Everytime. This is also a big reason why i keep quite after i realised my feelings because i thought he will not like or love me back like i do. But know i think we always like each other from childhood but Don't realised it. I strongly believe that it is a result of our growing feelings. I am so deep in my thought that i Don't even realised that someone entered my room. My mother shake me by my shoulder to get my attention and asked me what i was thinking. I Don't say anything to her but told her that nothing important. It’s just about my study as i missed my some important classes Due to my health issue. But my mother is not worried at all about my study and the reason behind this is none other than Mushi. She told me not to get worried about it, Mushi will definitely help me with it.

Three days later i started to go to college again and life is going as usual. But i don't usually notice Riyan but whenever i see him he used to ignore me from that day. I Don't know why but i had a feeling that he is afraid of something or rather i can say of certain someone. Mushi is normal with me like old days atleast infront of everyone. But we know everything is changed drastically Between us of course in a good way.

The day off our annual function arrived. I'm very excited and nervous both at the sametime. I'm excited because I'm going to perform and represent my class. It’s almost time for my performance but i Don't see Riyan Once. I Wonder where he could go at this crucial time. I start to dress up in the make-up room without waiting for him because i need more time for dress and make-up then him. After almost 30 minutes I'm ready to perform but still Riyan Don't come. This made me more nervous than i am right at this moment.

Although I'm hell nervous and quite afraid about what would happened next, i made a prayer and climb up at the stage. At this time i Don't know what should i do. I stayed still in my place and close my eyes because of nervousness. All of a sudden i can feel a presence behind mine. I can feel a touch that i was too familiar with. In an instant i open my eyes but i can't see anything because of the Darkness, for some reason all lights are turn off right now. I can't tell what is happening right at this moment. I can feel the person behind me is moving towards me slowly step by step. At this time i should feel uncomfortable because i Don't know the person behind me right now, but somehow deep down I'm excited for some unknown reason. I can feel that something is going to happened. But i don't know it will be good for me or not. All of a sudden someone start the music and lights turn on because of this i had to close my eyes for the reflex action. The person who is with me alredy began to dancing holding me closely. That’s when i open my eyes and realise who he is........
