Vinaya

(The next day)
4:30 PM

"Mom! You know the assignment I have been preparing for days. It's finally done now. Yayy"!!

"Oh really. Then you should go outside for some time. It's been hours since you were locked up in your room".

" Yeah! I am gonna head to the library then."

" Okay, but eat some fruits before you go come here"

Later~
(At the library)
(Crowded)

Wow. I can't believe this place has become so popular in just a few days since the opening. It hasn't even been a week. I should be given special treatment since I come under their first hundred visitors~ Hah.

"Hey".

(Flinch) "Oh. Hello mister Ryan".

" Oh, I am sorry miss Vinaya. I didn't mean to scare you".

"Oh no it's alright~ Your library has become so crowded already though. Haha.. Its becoming famous day by day great"!

" I know. That's why we have a special offer for you since you were one of our firstcomers. I reserved the seat you always sit on. The one near the window it's that one right? "

"Wow! Yeah. I really love to sit there.
Thank you so much mister Ryan"

"Oh of course not. It's nothing. I hope you enjoy your time here. Miss Vinaya. And by the way if you need anything you can tell me. I'll come right then okay? "

"Yep! I surely will. Thank you!..

Wow. How come is he so polite. Anyways I am so happy that this seat's mine. I should go and get my book hehe..

Hm, I can't find it on the book shelve on the right. I am sure it was here just yesterday.

"Is this perhaps the book you're looking for"?

We made eye contact. No way. It's him. The boy I was staring continuously at yesterday. I never thought he was gonna care about the title of the book I was reading seeing him so indulged in reading himself. He never even looked above or at his surroundings then how come he's handing me this!

No way I m gonna say this but I am really nervous. I can't even open my mouth. Really I hope I don't look too stupid.

"Hm"? He questions.

" Ah! Yes. T-this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks".

I didn't even care to ask how in the world he knew about it.

"Maybe Someday". You have a great taste in books then I guess. I saw you putting this book back in the shelve yesterday. No wonder I was amazed to see that I've got a bookpartner".

"Bookpartner? What do you mean by that".

" Haha actually I was a bit taken aback by the coincidence. We were reading the same book. So now that I saw you struggling to find some book. I certainly thought it would be you"

"Oh really. That's nice. Thankyou for the book. I should go back now".

" Wait! Ah. What's your name"?

Wow. What's up with this guy. I mean it's nothing big he's just asking me my name but it looks like he's trying to start a conversation with the excuse of a silly coincidence of reading the same book. He should really mind just his business right? Why asking my name?

"Oh. It's Vinaya". I say with low interest.

" Pretty name".

As it is. It's not one for sure. I just smile at that.

"Yours"?

It would probably not be appropriate not to ask his when he asked mine right?

"I am Aarav. It was nice meeting you Vinaya".

" Yes. Me too".

Aarav is a nice name. (I didn't say that tho.)
