Mumma!!!! Oh god!!!

*Phone conversation between Me and Mumma*

Mumma: Kahan hai Shivangi?! Savere ke baad se koi phone hi nahi aaya hai tera..

Me: arre kuch nahi mumma.. bas shaam se aake padh rahe the.. law kar rahi thi main.. to call karna yaad bhool gaya.

Mumma: achha... Chal theek hai.. mein sone lagi hoon.. tu padh le.. kal karte hain baat!

Me: haan chalo ok! Good night!!

*Phone conversation ends*

Thank god!!!!!

*Shivangi's P.O.V. ends*

*Parth's P.O.V.*

I. Am. In. Love.
I. Love. Shivangi.
I. Am. In. Love.
I. Really. Love. Shivangi.

I don't know what is happening to me.. ever since I have met her.. I haven't been able to focus on anything else but her. That is the kind of influence Shivangi has had on me..
I reached my hotel.. and straightaway called Leena, a close friend...

*My phone conversation with Leena*

Me: I love her Leena!!! I just love her..

L: Hi Parth!! Good evening..

Me: Leena!!! She is perfect.. how come I didn't ever come across her... Why so late...

L: Parth mujhe bataoge tum ki kis baare mein baat ho rahi hai yahan!!!
Aisa kon hai.. jisne Parth Samthaan ko pagal bana diya hai..

Me: Leena aaj Delhi mein, din mein, maine ek Food Fest attend kari.. vahan I accidentally met a girl.. a College student..

L: Aaaand?!!!!

Me: She is coincidentally my fan also...
We met.. became friends.. also went out for dinner tonight!!

L: oooh!!!!! And you like her?!!

Me: I LOVE her Leena!!

L: okayyyy!!!!! Par woh ek student hai Parth!!
Tum dono ke beech age difference kitna hai?

Me: I don't know.. somewhere between 7 to 9 years probably! But I don't care.. I love her and I want to marry her!!

L: marry?!! Yeh zyaada nahi ho gaya..

Me: nahi.. and not now obviously. I am not ready to take the plunge.. and I will wait... For Shivangi to complete her education!!
Because jitna main use jaanta hoon.. jitni meri usse baat hui hai.. I know that she is an extremely ambitious and a very sensible girl. She has dreams.. and I don't want to become a hindrance in those dreams.. I'll do all that I can to support her and help her achieve all that she wants..

L: oh.my.god!!! Parth you are Very serious about this... But what about the family?!

Me: arre!?! Main baat kar loonga unse.. mana loonga!! I'm sure Shivangi ke parents convince ho jaayenge!!

L: Stupid!!! I'm talking about your family.. how will you convince them for a girl who is 8 years younger to you??

Me: arre unko main mana loonga.. no issues!!

L: fine then.. so please send me a picture of Shivangi!!! Let me also see her..

Me: yeah!! I'll just send the picture.. she looked breathtakingly beautiful tonight Leena.. I'm going to make you meet her very soon!!!

L: now I'm also very excited to meet her Parth!!

Me: chal good night!!! I'll talk to you later..

L: yeah bye.. good night!!

*Phone conversation ends*

Should I or Should I not... Call karoon main Shivangi ko?!!
Nahi nahi.. it's late.. aur vaise bhi abhi to saath hi the.. she will think I'm so desperate..
Chhod Parth!! Kal baat kar lena.. itni bhi kya besabri..

*Parth's P.O.V. ends*

Both Parth and Shivangi had changed their clothes.. and were in their respective beds..
Both of them were sliding through the innumerable pictures that they had clicked throughout the day.. both of them were asking themselves as they remembered the little-little conversations that they had had...
Shivangi was already in love with Parth and Parth had also fallen in love with Shivangi.. but neither of them knew the other person's feelings for them...

Both of them.. had hidden this beautiful truth.. in their hearts.. hoping to reveal it to each other very soon!!

The next day began on a normal note.. Shivangi got up... Actually she didn't sleep at all.. but anyways!! She got ready and went for her class..
Half the day had already passed... and post the lunch break, Shivangi was in class and with sheer excitement.. was telling her classmates- Jannat, Priyanshi and Sanjana, about all that had happened..

"Girls over there!! Please keep quiet.. varna class se baahar jaao", the teacher screamed at them..
And they shut up immediately..

"Laa phone laa!! Mujhe photos dekhni hain!", Jannat asked Shivangi for her phone.

"Baad mein dekh lio!!", Shivangi whispered.

"Nahi abhi de!! Mujhe abhi dekhni hai!!", Jannat snatched the phone from Shivangi's hands and started seeing the pictures.
The rest of them were studying quietly when Jannat screamed loudly..

"Shivangiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone in the class started looking at Shivangi and Shivangi gave a deathly glare to Jannat.

"Yeh kya ho raha hai class mein?!?? Tum logon ko padhna nahi hai to nikal jaao class se!!!! Sabko kyun disturb kar rahe ho!!!", the teacher screamed at them.

"Kya kar rahe ho tum dono!!! Marvaaoge kya??", Priyanshi screamed at them in whispers.

"Arre parth ka phone aa raha hai!!! Yeh dekho!!!", Jannat showed the phone to Shivangi, Sanjana and Priyanshi.

"Gadhi!!! Pehle bataana chahiye tha na!!!!!", Shivangi yelled at her.. again in whispers and took the phone from underneath the table.

"What is wrong with you girls?!! How shameless and disrespectful?? What is the chaos about??", the accounts teacher screamed again.. this time, very loudly.

Shivangi was looking down.. at the phone in her hand.. praying that Parth didn't disconnect the call.. when...

"Ma'am actually Shivangi ko washroom jaana hai..", Jannat quickly made up an excuse.

"To jaaye?!! Isme tumhare chillane ka kya matlab hai??", the teacher asked Jannat irritably.
Shivangi knew that is going to go on for some time.. and was not able to understand what to do with the incoming call.. and before she could react Priyanshi received the call.

"Tu pagal hai Priyanshi?? Tu ne phone kyun receive kar diya...", Shivangi facepalmed.

"Phone kat jata phir??", Priyanshi clarified.

"Shivangi don't worry.. I'm on call.. I'm waiting", Parth comforted her.
Shivangi relaxed and then heard.. what excuse Jannat and Sanjana were giving.

"Woh.. aap padha rahi thi na ma'am.. isliye Shivangi disturb nahi karna chahti thi aapko..", Sanjana continued Jannat's excuse.
On hearing this, Shivangi burst into a giggle.. and so did the rest of the class..
Parth too couldn't stop laughing..

"Shut up everyone!! Shivangi please go to the washroom.", the teacher remarked sternly.
And Shivangi grabbed her phone from Priyanshi and rushed out of the class giggling..

"Unbelievable!!", Parth exclaimed when he heard shivangi on the other side..

"They are mad!!! Please ignore them!!", Shivangi who had now stopped laughing told Parth.

"They're fun!!!!! Anyways.. I'm sorry yaar.. I just completely forgot.. that you'd be in class.", Parth apologetically remarked.

"Arre it's alright!!! You tell me.. anything important..?!", Shivangi asked him.

"Very important!!", he smiled.

"Kya??!!!!", shivangi asked curiously.

"Aaj tum kitne baje free ho rahi ho?! Come and meet me before I leave na.. I don't want to goooo back without meeting you!!", Parth said.

"Parth!! I have classes till 4:30.. otherwise I would have definitely come!", Shivangi told him.. cursing her class timings and hectic schedule in her head.

"Umm... Achha to main tumko 4.45 pe pick karta hoon!! My flight is at about 7.30...
So I'll pick you up from college.. we can go to the airport together and then the car will drop you back.", he gave Shivangi a layout of the plan.

"Okay!!! Cool!!!!", Shivangi tried to sound casual even though she was literally bursting with joy.

"Done then!!! Achha get your hostel friends along!!! I haven't met them properly.. to mil bhi loonga unse!!! And by the way, I hope they liked the pastries!!"

"Yeah!!! They loved them.. and okay I'll get them along. See you!! Bye.."

"Bye!!!"

Shivangi didn't feel like attending a single class... But she obviously couldn't afford to do so and so she quietly went back.. and continued to attend her classes.. desperately waiting for the clock to strike 4.45....

At about 4.40.. Shivangi was standing at the main gate along with Mohini, Manali, Anamika and Ananya.. all of them waiting eagerly to meet Parth.

At about 4.50.. Parth called up Shivangi and asked her to come out of the gate.. but alone. That is, leaving her friends inside..
As soon as she went out.. she saw Parth!! She went to him.. but what she saw other than Parth made her feel surprised to the core...

A/N: What did Shivangi see??!!!
That's quite mysterious...
Keep waiting...
It's gonna be quite interesting...
Thank you for the constant love and viewership... It means a lot!!!!!!
Loads of love❤️
Happy Reading:)
