Growing feelings

Chapter : 2

Same day after giving my number to Riyan when i come home i notice my home is full with our relatives. i greet everyone and began to chat with my cousin. After few hours latter when we finished our Dinner i excused myself by telling them i am very tired after all day practice and they Don't mind at all.I need a proper sleep today.So,after Dinner when I'm about to go to bed, suddenly my phone start to ring. When i open my phone, i found out that It's an unknown number.After some hesitations i answer the phone.

Me: Assalamuwalaiqum.who are you?

Unknown: Walaiqumassalam.you forget me so easily. (such a flirt he is!)

Me: Sorry,i Don't think i have to remenber an unknown person.

Unknown: But I'm not an unknown person to you beautiful, after we spent too much time with each other.

I'm confused and shocked will be an understatement right now bcz I'm Beyond that. So,i decided to hung up the phone. I'm never comfortable with an unknown person’s call.

Me: Listen carefully (now I pretend to be angry)if you Don't tell me about your real Identity, then i'll cut the call right now.

Unknown: Hey,Don't cut the call.I'm Riyan, your act partner for the annual function remember?And sorry for my prank.

Me: Ohh....Riyan!it’s okay. I'm also sorry for my rude behavior. so,tell me why have you call me? something urgent?

Riyan: No.nothing urgent. it’s just that i wanted to ask you that,what time we will meet tomorrow.

Me: We will meet! but why?

Riyan: Don't tell me you forgot.

Me: What?

Riyan: We need to practice for our act,Don't you remember?

Me: Ohhh.......now i remember.

Riyan: So,when we will meet?

Me: Tomorrow after class,we will practice for our act.Is that okay?

Riyan: Ohh.....okay.

Me: Alright then...... bye.

Riyan: Bye....... beautiful. (he will never change)

After i cut the call,i notice Mushi call me several times during my conversation with Riyan sometime ago.Then i call him back but he Don't answer my phone call.So,after trying several times, i stop calling and ready to go to bed. In the mean time my phone again start ringing. After the 3rd ring when i found it’s Mushi, i answer the call.(I'm very excited and nervous at the same time bcz of his call,not to mention very happy)

Me: Assalamwalaiqqum,how r you?(i shyly asked after i greet him)

Mushi: Walaiqumassalam,I'm fine.Just now who are you talking with?

Me: Huh! why?(i asked back instead of answering)

Mushi: Answer me first,I'm asking you again who were you talking with late at this hour.(he sounds both angry and irritated at the sametime)

Me: Ohh......it’s Riyan.

There is a pin drop silence for few seconds.

Riyan: What?I was calling you continuously for almost last one hour and you are saying you were talking to Riyan sometime ago.

Me: Yes...... what happened?(i am very nervous that I'm sweating niw)

He Don't answer my question, he just cut the call directly.

Next day............

Today when i entered into the class room, from that moment i started to feel something is wrong. During the classes, i turn around and look into mushi's direction several time with hope that he will look at me atleast for once but he is not looking towards me for once.I can feel that he is trying to avoid me on purpose, specially any eye contacts.Then i decided to talk to him about this matter during leisure time. After that i turn my attention towards class teacher who is givig us lecture about a topic of our text book which i have no idea bcz for some reason i cannot concentrate on my lecture.

In our leisure period when I'm about to search for Mushi, in my mid search someone caught my hand and I'm very irritated at this moment. So, when i turn around i start to snap at the person while saying-what the hell.Then i realised that the person who caught my hand is none other then Riyan.I Don't know the reason but i feel he is somehow hesitating before talking to me or i can say that scared. When i realised that it was him from that moment i feel relaxed. I asked him what hapoened, for what he stoped me but before he could respond, he crashed on the floor with o loud bang bcz someone kicked him.I can see that every one open their eyes wide, they looked shocked.I turn around and found out that it is Mishi.......

I Don't even understand what is happening in the first place and why is this happening So,i stand there motionless for some time. After few moments i came back to my senses bcz i heard my name being mentioned. Then i realised what was happening here and I'm terrified is an understatement.

I heard Mushi is telling or we can say threatening Riyan saying that-how many time i have to warn you that Don't get too close to her. But you dared to hold her hand and that is to infront of me. It seem's all my warnings are not matters to you at all.I have to say you have some guts man.Mushi is looking at Riyan with a kind of expression that i Don't know how to explain, like wants to eat him alive.This kind of expression specially from him also terrified me.Riyan trying to get up from the floor with great difficulty. when he about to get up from the floor, instantly Mushi grab his shirt by his neck and warn him saying -Riyan I'm telling you and it’s the last time I'm telling this if next time i see you talking to her or even approach her, you her dead.I will show you my real face and how bad i can become.So.you better stay away from her.Right now he is fuming in extreme anger. Finally he released him after god knows how many warnings.

Then he finally look at me........
