Melting.

What's so special about love?
It comes without any invitation

"You could have at least smiled," Naira said as I started to walk away from Akash and Sanskar.

Calm down, Swara. Don't let him affect you, baby. My mind was whispering. I wasn't able to breathe in his presence. How the hell am I going to tolerate him! Huh!

The smirk on his face was the worst thing, that I have seen ever in my life. The nerve of him!

"Smile, my foot!" I yelled.

"Good afternoon my dear students. As the third-semester examination is approaching, the students are informed to pay their pending fees. Every student should prepare for the examination well." Suddenly, an announcement was made. We made faces.

"I'm not going to get graduated Reema. My mother isn't well. She isn't working because of her illness. My salary which I'm getting through a part-time job isn't enough for paying the fees. What will I do, now." I turned my heels as I heard a girl's cry. Her face was so red because of continues crying. I felt pity for her.

"Let's go from here, baby." Naira made a yuck face after hearing the girl. I nodded walking away from there.

As we walked we saw everyone looking at us. They were murmuring into each other's ears. Maybe it was because I talked to Sanskar. The whole campus knows about our enmity. I sighed.

"Wait, Naira...I'm getting a call." I took out the phone which was ringing. It was Mom.

"Hey, Mom!" I smiled and cheered.

"Listen, today I and your Dad is going outskirts. You can stay here or at Naira's home." Oops! I completely forgot about that.

"I got it, Mom. I will stay at Naira's." I nodded my head. I could see Niara's eyes widening because of excitement.

Soon the exams came over. I stood in Naira's house. Every one of us had a tough period. As it was the final exam, everyone was extra careful also. The question papers weren't easy. But, practicals were good.

Sometimes, my thoughts were interpreted by Sanskar. I'm still unable to understand whether I took the right decision by forwarding the deal. What if, he betrayals me at the end. As the first competition is theirs, what if he refuses to perform with me?

No, never! I have my own ways to lure him. After all, I'm Swara Mehta...

The day came. Naira asked me to accompany her to watch basketball practice. I saw Sanskar playing well. I was amused. He played like a pro. I'm sure, we will win.

"So officially, both of you are going to perform together." Akash cheered. Both I and Sanskar rolled our eyes at him. Sanskar and Akash were back after their practice session.

"So, let's start." Naira too was in a happy mood.

Sanskar and I both came forward. We held our hands together. Our bodies touched each other. A sudden heat engulfed my body making me go weak. I gulped at our proximity. Ohh shit! What's wrong with me.

According to the music, our hands and body were moving. My heart was pounding. No, this isn't me. How can he affect me so much!

For the first time in my life, I felt an unknown emotion raising inside me. How can I even let him affect me? I have to do something. This is not me.

"Leave me!" I yelled pushing him away. He can't affect me! I'm Swara Mehta...I can't go weak in any men's arms. I stated in my mind.

"What's wrong with you, Mehta," Sanskar shouted as he fell. I widened my eyes as I saw him falling.

"Sanskar..." I rushed to him. I held his hand before he could fell. I saw surprise in his eyes. Akash and Naira stood there numb.

"Don't be too dramatic guys. I just held his hands because he was going to fall." I stumped my foot and said. They nodded. Naira had a teasing smile on her lips.

"Keep silence!" We heard the department head shouting.

"Swara, Sanskar, Akash, and Naira...you guys can go out." She ordered. I grinned my teeth. I saw Sanskar clenching his fists.

"Come, let's go somewhere else," Naira said. All of us agreed. Soon we reached the classroom beside the canteen. The music was played again.

Control.
Control.
Don't let his mere touch affect you, bitch!

Sanskar took my hands. He grabbed my waist and started to move according to the music. I tried to match his steps. Soon, we were dancing without any flaw.

The music, the dance... everything seemed so perfect.

Sanskar was looking into their eyes. His proximity was affecting me so much that I thought I would die without any oxygen.

"Ahem...ahem..." I came out of my thoughts hearing the fake coughing sound of Naira and Akash. I turned my face as I was so embarrassed to look at them. What the bloody hell.

I saw Sanskar looking at the birthmark of mine. My cleavage was so visible after the bend to take my purse. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze. I made the dress properly hiding the birthmark.

"I'm leaving guys..." I rubbed my head and said.

"Are you alright, Swara?" Akash's concerned voice hit my ears.

"I am." I smiled. Soon, I and Naira left the classroom leaving Sanskar and Akash behind. I could still feel his gaze on me.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"What was that? Where was your grip?" Naira asked being amused. I looked at her confused.

"You don't like him, his vibe...still you held his hands when he was falling. Also, you fucking blushed at the end." Naira spoke. God!

"Listen, bitch. I held his hands out of courtesy. He is my dance partner. I can't let his hands get broken on the first day itself. And also about the last part, I didn't blush. What makes you think that I, Swara Mehta will blush at the jerk!" I lied. I saw Naira nodding her head.

Sanskar...what are you. You made me lie to my best half. I wish I could tell her about it. But, what if...it turns out to worst. I don't want anyone to take advantage of me.

I can't let him dominant my feelings. He is a fucker boy. And I'm Swara Mehta...I'm a girl who loves money and attention. I can't melt in any men's arm. I can't ever let my enemy become my weakness or strength!
