I still remember the day, when I first met him. It was a beautiful day, after all. I was enjoying my summer vacation, playing and watching movies.

****Flashback begins****

It was a Sunday, and I was waiting for my best friend to come over. She has promised me to be with me, to play games.

She is always with you! Duh!!!

I just roll my eyes at my conscience. She is my best friend, and she will be with me.

So, what?

Whatever! Give some importance to me as well.

I scoffed mentally.

"Hi aunty" my best friend aka Priya chirped and sat beside me in the couch in my living room.

After talking for few minutes with my mom, we hurriedly took steps towards my cozy bedroom. We played video games together for half an hour.

It was fun playing and defeating her. As always she just smiled at me.

"Kids, now come downstairs to have snacks. It's your both's favourite." My mom paused from shouting. "Niki, I hope you heard me." I heard my mom, shouting on top of her voice from the kitchen.

We giggled and switched off the game and television.

Running downstairs, we both made our way towards dining, when a strong spicy flavor hit our nostrils, our mouth immediately started watering.

Wow!

So, my mom was making mouth watering samosa chaat.

Yummie! even, i get to taste it.

Yeah yeah!

Two plates filled with Samosa chaat were placed infront of us. It was calling us to, get it digged.

I licked my lips, seeing it.

We sat opposite to eachother and started to dig it with our spoon. It was really good. The spicy flavor of the chaat makes it even more delicious.

I love this samosa chaat. I can eat it whenever I get. Doesn't have to do anything with evening time.

You eat anything to everything, duh!

I just rolled my eyes mentally.

"Priya, when is your dad coming?" My mom asked, while bringing two glass of water from the kitchen and settled herself beside me.

"Next week aunty." Priya replied, scooping up a spoon full of chaat and savoring it in a slow motion.

"Okay, once he comes, let me know. Niki's father has asked me to enquire about it." My mom said nonchalantly.

I paused, from eating and looked at my mom in confusion.

I was thinking, why would my dad want to meet and what's there to do with my best friend's dad. Are they planning something behind our back? Or are they really sending us off to some strict boarding school?

Oh God, no. It can't be.

I will miss mom made food.

I second that.

What to do? Should I ask her directly?

After contemplating, whether to ask or whether not to ask, I finally made up my mind to go with earlier.

"Mom, why is dad asking about Priya's dad?" I asked as it is not a big deal. But internally, I was thinking of all sorts of possibilities.

"Nothing, I guess it's purely business."

I wondered, what it could be.

My dad is a specialist in computer science, has completed his M.Tech and now working in an engineering college as a professor.

Whereas, my best friend's dad is a businessman. He is a marketing executive, who travels a lot for his business and currently working for Macmillan books publishing company.

"Okay."

Once finishing chaats, we were about to go back to my bedroom. But before that, my mom beat to it.

"Niki, it's time for your outdoor activities. It's not that good, to sit infront of TV or computer and play all the time." My mom shouted again, on top of her voice from the kitchen, doing the dishes.

We stopped on our tracks. I frowned and Priya, as usual giggled.

"Mom...." I whine like a kid, who was just neglected, from giving her favourite lollypop.

"Nothing doing. Just go outdoor and play something else you will become fat!, Sitting and eating all the time." Mom said with a glare, and I should take it as a cue, like not to mess with her.

I sighed and mumbled inaudible "okay" but as the house was silent, I know she would have heard it.

"Priya, what do you think, why would my dad want to meet uncle?" I asked, when we are out of the house and moving towards the garage area.

Taking the bicycle, I went out along with Priya sitting behind me.

"Maybe, your dad wants some books for his college works related to his subject." She said thinking, after a while.

"Oh" how did I forget such a big thing?, now.

Yes, there is this probability.

My dad, is always fond of books, especially his subject books. Since my best friend's father is working in a book company, he might get required books, so yeah, there is this high chance and I heaved a sigh, thanking God, as it's not they will send us get into a boarding school.

We then rode, towards Priya's house to get her cycle.

As, we were enjoying, riding our bicycle, wandering over the colony in rounds.

Suddenly,

An auto rickshaw came in infront of me from nowhere. I was terrified and was about to fall from my bicycle. But luckily I gripped the handle and balanced it with my leg.

I was mad, would be an understatement, and was ready to shout on the driver, when suddenly HE slipped down from the passenger seat.

My eyes were wide as saucers and mouth, don't even talk about it - it went dry as if, it hasn't tasted water in ages!.

There stood a handsome man with a smile on his face.

Wow, his smile was sexy!

I was literally drooling over this guy, whom I met for the first time, that too just a few seconds before. I was never like this.

What happened to me? All of a sudden.

Something something!

I scoffed, at my conscience, as it was mocking me in her singsong voice.

Stupid me!

Shaking away my thoughts, I closed my mouth and took my bicycle and rode off from there in a jet speed.

"Hey slow down my cheetah!" Priya shouted from behind while riding our bicycle back to our homes.

After what felt like hour, we were standing in front of my house panting heavily.

Priya looked at me, it was more like analysing me as she was steadying herself from her uneven breaths due to cycle race.

After few minutes, my best friend composed and I know what's coming next.

Full question bank!

"Why did you run from there? As if you saw some ghosts." Priya asked jumping from the bicycle and came to my side putting on, her cycle's stand.

"I ...I....was feeling thirsty. Yeah, feeling thirsty." I replied back looking everywhere but Priya.

Priya narrowed her eyes and placed her hands over her hips. "Acha, now I know why you rode your cycle that fast, from there."

I raised her eyebrows telling her to continue.

"You were about to shout at the driver, weren't you?. But, when that guy came infront of you, your all angry mask flew away just in a second, Right?" Priya asked wiggling her brows.

I gasped shockingly and placed a hand over my chest. "What are you talking about?" I know, I am not being dramatic here, what can I do? She knows me well, but I won't let her enjoy my state.

Priya grinned at me sheepishly and replied. "Wakey wakey." She moved towards her bicycle and jumped on it. "Also it's not that difficult to say that you were shocked to see such a nice handsome boy infront of us."

"What? No way. Why do you think like that? I have seen better handsome boys than him. Okay?" I defended myself quickly as if I was chanting these lines mentally.

Priya let out a chuckle. "Ha, leave it. Anyways I am going now. Let's meet tomorrow in the morning. Bye." She said and rode back to her house leaving a surprised me back.

Cause as far as I know my friend, she would tease with this. But nothing like that happened here.

What was that?

I too don't know!
