~Past Scenario~

Bell rang and we left for our other classes... it's maths class my fav one... I love this subject... while walking to class I asked bella...

"did you completed homework??"

She just nodded...we entered in class settling in our place... after 5 mins professor enter we all greeted them... he smiled luking at us and gesture to settle back... our maths professor is really good he teach brilliantly and because of him I m expert in maths and no one could believe till last year I was banging my head on wall whenever I have to do maths numerical...

"new admission??"

Prof questioned looking at rishu with a frown and I mumbled

"here we go again..."

in every class each ma'am and sir would ask him same question... he stood up replying back...

"yes my name is rishab..."

I steal a glance from sideway as he settled back and jay laughed at his condition... sir started class with new chap and its geometry which is my fav again... in whole lec he taught us different numerical then lastly gave us one exercise in homework..

"ok that's it for today class... now come and show me your yesterday's homework..."

I and bella stood first to show our note... while checking note prof smile with grin means we did all sums correctly... then me and bella grin at each other with happiness... I know it's childish thing but still it matters to us... who don't like to get appreciated for their hard work...

After maths class two more classes passed one was of science and second was of social science... hell boring...
When I came out of school gate saw meera nd raja coming hand in hand... they look so cute...

"Madhu di!!!"

Meera squeal and came running to me dragging raja with her... I bent little coming to their level and asked...

"hey! Excited for school??"

They both nodded happily then I pulled raja's cheek he is damn cute with those dimples just like his bro... noo madhu not again I cursed myself...

"ouch!!"

meera cried as jay came and pulled her cheeks... she started to bit him and jay is laughing... this is their daily routine... jay comes and pulls her cheek then meera will chide him...

"Dii tell him na not to do so..."

She complain cutely and I fake a glare at jay saying

"jay how many time I told you don't tease her..."

"but I love her chubby cheeks..."

Jay chuckled saying so and I giggled meera glared at both of us... jay looked at raja raising his brows... I introduce him...

"he is raja rishab's little bro..."

"ohh... that's why I find him somewhat similar..."

Jay said with amuse and pulled raja's cheeks also... but he didn't complained like meera just smile with shy... then it came to my mind where is rishab he was supposed to be with jay na... did he left already without meeting raja also??

"madhuuu!!!"

Jay broke my questioning express... I looked at him saying...

"yeah..."

"I need ur help..."

"So go on..."

"I wanted your class notes for rishab you know..."

I nodded in yes but felt sad why rishab didn't asked me by himself? Don't means he don't like me? sad feeling replace by anger and I spoke...

"why should I give my notes to him?? he is your friend so you help him by yourself na..."

Jay looked at me with frown... I think I spoke bit harshly... then he spoke sheepishly...

"madhu I have given mine but you know how punctual I m in completing my works..."

Oh ya how can he give his notes when he didn't have made any of them moreover today also jay had not done his maths hw... not only jay every boy in my class is like him... so now I have to give my notes only... I said

"ok fine I will give it to him..."

Jay thanked me and stood there... I took meera and raja inside school to drop them into their classes...in between I met bella so told her to wait for me outside... she too asked about raja praising his looks and cuteness... I thought kundra brothers are on roll...

I bid gud bye to bella and kristy then walked near roadside to cross it...I waited looking impatiently as vehicles passing before me... when road will be clear up?? damn this road crossing... sometime I think I should tell dad to build a over bridge from this side to other side which can lead me directly to home...my silly imaginations...
I looked around as by passers stare at me like I m some fool standing here from past 15 mins... but it's not my fault I m scared little bit... I saw jay and rishab coming together... means he was at school only...

From corner of my eyes I looked at both of them again as jay bid good bye to rishab...suddenly an idea clicked in my mind... I waited for rishu that he will cross road so I will also do it...
But what the hell damn you boys... he carelessly ran crossing both roads not waiting for it to get clear... again I stood there like a fool feeling sad...

Throwing my bag in one corner I pulled my shoes in foul mood... I had to sand there for more 15 mins to cross it... after changing I walk down to have lunch as my tummy is really hungry...

"madhu beta come!!"

Radha aunty greeted me as I came to dinning area... I give her a small smile and saw rishu also sitting here having his lunch... I settled into one of chair opposite to him... aunty gave me food and spoke with a toothy smile...

"If you need anything call me..."

I just nodded in reply and begin to eat... while munching my food I felt his gaze on me so raise my head to look at him but he instantly looked away... then I remembered last night thing...

"umm!! I m sorry..."

I mumble softly facing him... a very next sec his eyes met mine trying to figure out what I said so I repeated...

"I m sorry for last night for what I said while dinner time..."

He got it this time and spoke in soft tone...

"its ok!! I dont mind it at all..."

First time he said something to me... but do he really mean it?? To clear my doubt I asked him...

"You really not angry at me??"

"no I don't ..."

he paused for a sec then said

"I m use to with those things now..."

I felt bad means I m angry on myself I don't have to say that... knowing from which phase his life is passing through and still I said those words about him...

"please I m really sorry... It was not mean in that sense..."

I said softly with pleading eyes staring at him... he looked at me for some good mins then nodded his head in yes with a small smile... I chuckled happily and stretch my hand before him asking

"so can we be friends???"

He seems to be lost in deep thinking as I waited for him to say yes because I m not proposing him just wanna be friends and he is taking so much time to reply...

"okay!! Friends.."

He replied nodding his head without hand shake and started to eat his lunch... I looked at my hand like foolish and quickly took it back thinking

"how weird he is... don't know about hand shake also..."

After that I didn't spoke a word keeping my eyes on food I ate in silence

"btw what is ur name??"

My food choked in my throat when he asked this question... what the hell!!! He don't even know my name seriously???

I gulp my food down then luked at him as he is waiting for my reply... I controlled my anger and answered him with a fake smile..

"madhu... madhubala malik..."

"madhubala... hmmm quite filmy..."

He spoke with amuse and I smiled hearing my name from his mouth... don't know but it sound so different... stupid me

"Stupid brain you think too much..."

"pady!! Where are you?"

I saw shanti aunty walking into our home shouting for mom... she is our neighbor most irritating women I had seen in my life till now...

She looked at me and rishu then gave me her big toothy smile asking...

"madhu how are you beta???"

I plaster a fake smile on my face nd replied

"I m fine aunty... how are you and raj??"

"I m fine too  and raj is studying you know na how much he have to study..."

I laughed inside means I know how much he studies in reality... raj is her son and he too is in 9th class... also we go to same coaching class but study in different school...

Aunty looked at rishab then at me with question mark face... now her boring session starts...

"madhu who is he??? Your BF??"

Rishu eyes popped out at her inquiry and I giggled inwardly... shanti aunty is like this only without thinking blabbers anything... how stupid she is if rishu might be my BF do I will invite him for lunch at my house... mom and dad will kill me if I do so...

"madhu??"

"yeah aunty!!"

"who is he???"

"he is rishab radha aunty's son and now you will ask who is radha aunty so she is mom's best friend and cousin too... then you will ask why they are here so answer is they will be staying here only and please don't ask reason behind it for that you can consult mom and she is in her room... most imp you know where is mom's room..."

I answered her all queries in one go then took a deep breath... she gave me irritating look...rishu smiled at her expression...

"fine I m going to meet ur mom... and will complain also how you behave with elders..."

Saying so shanti aunty walked away I just rolled my eyes at her warning because I know mom too don't like her so she will not scold me...

"that was too good..."

Rishu spoke with amuse...

"I know how to handle her!!"

I said with grin winking at him then he too walked away as his lunch is completed...
