AUTHOR 'S POV

Arjun was sitting in his seat , waiting for the bus to start! His phone was pinging with notifications and it was dhruva who had spammed his notifications asking him if he left?

Arjun hit his forehead! A simple text would have done its job but no his friends planned to spam him!

Spamming them back with stickers and emojis arjun made himself busy in his phone

A chill breeze hit him!he looked up and the only thing that caught his attention was a short girl who had waist length wavy hair
She was talking with the driver showing her tickets!

The girl turned towards arjun and he immediately bent his head down , she looked very familiar to him and arjun could not help but steal glances at her .

His eyes were glued on her! She looked very familiar to him
Arjun could hear his own heart beat! Shaking his head arjun himself came out from the thoughts and started spamming dhruva so that he could ignore the way he feels now!

"Excuse me sir?" Arjun heard a voice and looked up ! There she stood just next to his seat with the ticket papers in her hand

"My seat "she told pointing towards the seat next to him! Arjun understood she is gone sit next to him and he nodded his head slowly and stood up from his seat and she moved into the seat quickly

"well!! Myself aishwarya "Aishwarya told forwarding her hand for a handshake

Arjun smiled and shaked his hand with hers

Same reason! Aishwarya too felt the man next to her very familiar, through she almost identified who he was with the little cut in his chin , but just to confirm Aishwarya started a conversation.

"arjun"he introduced and the bus started

And now Aishwarya knew the man next to her was arjun ,her childhood bestfriend.

But she had no idea how to start a conversation with him and say she is Aishwarya whom he use to play hide and seek! She doubted if he even remembers her?or even care of she even introduce herself !

Whatever is was! Aishwarya decided to give it a try!

"Arjun? It's me Aishwarya do you remember? By any chance? " She was rehearsing in her mind

By then arjun wore his earbuds and turned on some music

He got a mail from his manger saying there was theft of raw materials in the godown and that was enough for arjun 's mood to be spoiled

Aishwarya turned towards him
" Arjun! I am Aishwarya? From your Village! Remember me?" She asked , arjun who has earbuds on looked at Aishwarya talking he removed one side of his earbud and looked at her confused

Aishwarya realised and nodded as nothing and pulled out her phone!

Arjun found the girl next to him annoying! He did not like how she was moving from her seat every one and then .

Thoese biscuit crumbs she left on the seat made it worst for him!

Soon the bus stopped at a restaurant and Aishwarya was hungry ,she looked at arjun who was just listening to the songs!

"Mr.arjun!" She called and he still did not realise

"Me.arjunnnnnnn "she called again and he slowly removed his earbuds and looked at her confused and annoyed because of her offen disturbance

"It's a restaurant!" She told

"Yeah! I can see that "he told

"will you move please? I am hungry i need to have my dinner! " she told and he immediately stood up from the seat and she gave a annoyed look to him now and walked away from the bus

Aishu had already order her food and was waiting in her table when she saw arjun walking towards her!

He sat next to her as there no other seat available at that moment

Aishu is normally a talkative girl, who can never control her mouth and her curiosity!

The saying : curiosity kills a cat was definitely said for her!

Aishwarya called her sister navya and told she got into the bus and is currently in a restaurant having dinner but like always she did not stop at that, they were talking random things making arjun feel irritated!

He just wanted to eat his food in peace! And not like she did not like her talking it was just the mail from his company was eating his head and Aishwarya talking was not helping him to

"will you please stop talking for a while please"he told of the sudden and Aishu looked at him

"It was you came and just in my table! Not me " she told

"Yeah! So what now? That doesn't mean you can keep on talking and talking" arjun told and Aishwarya now really felt annoyed by him she stood up with her plate and walked towards other table

What a jerk! She through and sat down in the available chair

"Hello!" A man in his mind twenties told and Aishwarya smiled at him and reliped a hi

"Arun Vijay!" He told and Aishwarya smiled , she quickly finished her dinner and went towards the bus and settled down in her seat before arjun came !

She all the while felt someone's eyes on her! Ignoring that She pulled her bedsheet till her chest and leaned back closing her eyes

Arjun came in and saw her sleeping! He felt like he should apologise to her for being rude ! But looking at her sleep he let go that idea and sat in his seat and closed his eyes leaning back to the seat
