Mayur FF: I am not in LOVE!!! MEGA UPDATE Pg 17 - Page 2

Chapter 2

"The first day in college... and a tiff already. Damn!  Low Profile henceforth... Low profile henceforth... " she kept muttering to herself as she entered her classroom.

She looked here and there for the trace of any familiar faces, if not familiar, at least some pleasant looking ones would do. The place had already started seeming a bit dreadful.

"No more action... Please!" she prayed.

Someone called from behind in a sweet tone, "Nupsie!"

She turned and a beautiful smile spread all over her face as she spoke, "Sheena... My! I was so lost without you. You are the only one I know here after all. "

Sheena, "Why not? I have haunted you since primary school".

And they hugged. As they exchanged a few pleasantries, someone rushed in and announced.

"Deodhar is here... quick..."

All the students grabbed the chairs next to them without wasting a moment. Nupur was left standing alone as Sheena took the seat they were standing next to.

She looked for a seat and saw a desk right at the back of the first row and sat there. "Phew... made it just in time" she murmured in a soft tone.

And the teacher entered the class. There was pin-drop silence.

The students <in chorus> , "Good Morning Sir".

Deodhar Sir:-  *hears some giggling*

 First and last warning! No foolin'! Or you are into trouble. Pick up your books and note down the value points of the first chapter. You'll be asked to do various projects based on these.

And he began his module.

The students obediently started following his instructions.

Who wouldn't? No one in their right sense would dare to mess with the teacher whose personality was loud enough to warn them. They all held their faces straight.

Nupur seemed excited on the contrary. Leave aside holding a straight face, she kept beaming. She was about to study the subject she had always loved... "Media Studies".

The subject she had opted for she could relate to it and all the happenings...as it happens in the movies... A dream guy who would come for her crossing hurdles and all the barriers and fill her life with love and happiness.

She imagined herself standing in the balcony... mild zephyr blowing... her hair coming over her face... covering her eyes... and someone tip-toed from behind and held her. Hugging her with all the warmth.

The wind stopped.

The rustling of the leaves stopped too.

The time could not dare to move.

The hand that held her slowly proceeded along the length of her arm. She shut her eyes tight and felt she couldn't breathe. Her heart skipped a beat. His fingers momentarily stopped by her shoulder. And she could hear him whisper in her ears, "I love you..." and...

"YOU! THERE... LAST BENCH..."

She was startled. Deodhar Sir looking angrily in her direction. She apologized and sat down looking in her books to avoid meeting any eyes.

"By God! I have had it... " she spoke to herself and took out her pen.

It did not work. She tried to find out the second pen but she couldn't. She saw a pen lying at the desk next to her. As she was about to pick it up... the guy sitting next to her held her hand tight.

She looked at him for the first time, though she had been sitting inches away from him since the last twenty-five minutes. She looked at him bewildered as he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone,"I do not like people touching my belongings without permission."

BRRRIIINNNGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Class dismissed", spoke Deodhar Sir as he took his leave.

The guy left her hand roughly packed his books and moved out leaving a baffled Nupur behind.

"Wow! He looks so cute" remarked Sheena as she moved towards where Nupur had been sitting.

"Ha! You found him cute? I have never seen such a rude guy in my life", complained Nupur and left the class in a huff.

Sheena followed her trying to ask what had happened. Nupur gave the details. Sheena didn't seem to be hearing, her eyes still were dreaming of the "rude guy".

And she heard someone call loudly, "Mayank."

Both she and Nupur turned back and saw the "rude guy" answering, "Hey Uday!"

Sheena: So his name is Mayank... *sigh*

Nupur: Who cares? <And moved towards the canteen.>

Sheena excused herself on the pretext of going to the loo and started trailing Mayank and Uday.

A voice from behind: Nupur!

Nupur: *turns back* Yes?

The guy in white trousers: Hi! We met today morning...

Nupur: Ofcourse!

"Misfortune is following me since morning! "she added in an undertone.

Could I be of any help?

The guy in white trousers: I am Adhiraj! Just wanted to say sorry for this morning.

Nupur: *smiles* That's ok. *and is about to leave*

Adhiraj: Just a second please. I wanted to thank you too.

Nupur: Thank me?

Adhiraj: For yesterday... The woman you took to the hospital yesterday was my grandmother.

Nupur: Oh! That was my moral duty.

*her cell rings*

Excuse Me Please!

*and she leaves*

A mesmerised Adhiraj is left standing alone looking at her as she moves away from her with a light smile on his face.

PRECAP:  Nupur is about to tumble down the stairs as Mayank holds her arm.
