After coming home I realized what my body was trying to say ,that I was not in state of going college ,meanwhile I received a text from arnay stating

lets cancel todays date ,you take rest

I sighed in relief and went straight to my bed and slept ,after sometime when I opened my eyes my body was aching specially my legs they were not ready even move an inch.

My mother asked me to take a painkiller ,it helped for some time but then pain came again ,pearl wanted to play with me but I was too tired . It was 3 Oclock that made me think I missed todays date ,somehow I had been liking spending time with him but never mind I had to take care of myself so I pulled my body to get some hot water in a bucket so that I could keep my feet in them it would relieve and loosen my muscles . Suddenly the bell rang and my mother opened the door and he came inside saying

Namaste Aunty and touched my mothers feet

mom asked me to give you this he said extending a lunch box to my mother

what is this??? my mother asked

I dont know , she just asked me to give it to you he replied

ok, first come inside my mother welcomed him

Then he turned to see me tired and my feet in hot water, everything happened so fast that I was not able run from there also my body wouldnt move that easily today. His eyes met mine and I felt embarrassed ,my cheeks turning red and he came straight towards me and sat on the sofa beside me but on the left side

you, ok he asked smiling

I think so I didnt looked at him

here ,take this he extended an ointment use this it will help you

you really came to give that lunch box?? I asked while taking the ointment

what do you think??

not today! Just tell me

ok ok I came to see you because I was worried about you also I wanted to see you ,and give this ointment that lunch box is just an excuse

his words made me blush but may be he didnt noticed

will you come tomorrow or not??

I will come ,dont worry

Just then pearl came and he would have definitely jumped in bucket so I lifted him on my lap and then for a minute I forgot Arnay was right there, thats when I heard

I really dont like him he said almost irritated

why I really looked at him amused

because he makes me jealous

I was about to laugh but just then my mother entered holding a tray and asked

who is jealous and whom??

Arnay choked and started coughing ,I went cold but then he said

aunty zealous not jealous , I was saying , am zealous that she is learning self defense ,because its its good

oh ! That even am happy that she decided to learn and from you its even better because then we dont have to stress

He stood and then he took out a blue rose from his coat and extended it to my mother

for my beautiful aunty ,a beautiful rose he said smiling

oh! Where did you got this, its varshas Favorite

is it?? he asked with so much astonishment like he heard it for first time and that made me chuckle

yes my mother replied while taking the rose

ok ,aunty now I will go

My mother accompanied him till the door but before he could leave she went inside to fetch something meanwhile he glanced at me and then he winked and I immediately looked away from him

give this to you mother my mother said to him while extending a bag , he took it and went

he is such a nice boy my mother remarked

yes
