The heart is the strongest amongst all! It beats heavenly without giving warnings!

I am sure I have not seen someone as devilish as these so-called friends Sarah and Neel to each other.

"Shhhh. Don't make my noise she will be here  anytime soon!"

His eyes were retarded, I could see the glint in them when it was almost evening. I could see the fading clouds whispering back to me to hide away somewhere because a storm is about to come. But the real truth is I have never been afraid of storms!

Storms are glorious in their beauty but the silence is what diverts my mind every time I sense it.

"Oh, I am not here to take your orders so it would be better if you keep it to yourself!"

I was determined in the sense that how could he?
How could he tell me what to do! I have my mind I don't need his reassurance of anything!

"What do you-" he put his finger over my lips to silence me!

How dare he?

"I think the caretakers of her house are here so better to remain silent!"

You know at this point I could have killed him or murdered him or tortured him because his finger was still on over my lips!

So I did what my mind was telling me to do!

I bit his finger!

Yes! I did this. And I am not ashamed of it.

"Fuck!!! Are you crazy! Oh, who am I kidding, of course, you are!"

Before I could open my mouth and shut him up so that he doesn't even try to call these things to me he silenced me again with his look.

It was dangerous at one moment, my heart somersaulted and in the next moment, it was cold.

His eyes were speaking of the storm while mines were speaking of the silence

And at the last, his storm won over my silence because I have to do whatever he has to say! At least in this situation when I am so sceptical to think about anything.

****

We are in her room thinking ways to start our way of teaching her a lesson, well specifically to be told his way of teaching her a lesson though I still can't get over the fact he is assisting me; whom he doesn't know much and dismissing the one whom he has been friends with!

I still remember the summer of Mumbai when I was in school, hiding my face from all the vicious comments I was getting when he was the popular one of the school, attracting all the girls to himself. I still can't believe he doesn't remember me!

However, I don't even want that to happen but still, whenever I am around him; my mind gets back to that incident when I was bullied on the verge of dying and getting hospitalized and he was a part of it!

However, I should focus on the present because things have changed now I am not the old Julia anymore!

"Get your lazy ass here and help me with this!"

What's his behaviour of calling me? He has such an obnoxious vocabulary!

"My name is Julia!"

I was tempted at this moment he should be calling me by my name not retarding to my body parts!

"Yes, Julia Malhotra help me with this now!"

"What did you say????"

"I said, Julia, this Malhotra is calling you by your name so come here!"

Oh, my inner voice was already on the verge of starting a battle!

"Coming, Mr Neel!"

"Fine!"

"Shut up!"

"Oh my god, you are such an impossible case. Now, will you please come here? Are not you getting late now? Oh wait for a second are you enjoying my company???"

No!
Never!
Not in a billion years!

Wait for a second why does he have a smirk on his face?

"You are such a jerk!"

Before things get strange I need to move my ass fast!

Now you are talking like him!!

Kill me then!

"So what do I have to do?" I genuinely asked him crossing all the levels of generosity.

"You have to hold me of course!"

You know what! He is such a big flirt that I want to punch him right now on his face!

"I am not going to do that! "

"Okay, you decide what will you do then! I have a bucket of paint in my hands and with that, I will have to stand up on a chair or whatever thing I could get here so that I can tie that bucket on the entrance. Don't you want her head to be splashed by this paint?"

Of course, I want her to be wet in this stupid paint. Okay fine I will hold you whenever you will say because you are the only one who saved me twice. Still, I can't just explain him promptly, I can't lose my pride!

"Hmm, you do have a point so tell me how to help you?"

"And here I was thinking I have to argue with you for an hour!"

"What did you say?"
I pouted while putting my hands on my jeans pocket.

"Forget it and help me, will you?"

His eyes were meaning something else as he is asking for reassurance; a reassurance to hold my hand because at that time he had extended his.

Those hazel green eyes were hard to read, they hesitated for a moment and blank in the next.

Our hands brushed calmly next to each other.

I don't know why I felt a sudden pinch on my heart for this.

I don't know why.
when he extended his hand I grabbed it in no time.
Of course, I don't want him to fall hard on the ground and lose his mind but I also don't want to lose his grip on my hand.

"Come on helping me, I have to stand on a chair with a bucket of paint, "

I wanted to whisper so many things at this moment but came up with a nodding head.

I helped him to stand on a chair. When he was standing at it, I was still there near him.

He being Neel did many kinds of tactics to hang that bucket at the entrance of the room and I being Julia helped him whenever he needed my hand.

But things are not as easy as it looks like he dropped some of the yellow paint on the head.

And I, right now, wants to kill him with those helping hands which he was demanding!

He was snickering so hard that he almost fell from the chair. And I believe, it would have been good if he would have fallen hard, at least his peanut size mind finally gets something!

However, why did he get the only chance to make fun of me? I do want to do the same thing!

I, Julia, the Indian girl of my class, grabbed another bucket of paint and splashed it over on his devilish face.

I know I might have crossed my line! But god damn this moment is priceless! I mean look at this face, Mr Neel Malhotra, the flirtatious boy of our university is here drowned in the yellow colour paint.

If this is going to be a war then I am ready for it!

"You are going to pay for that!"  He was trying to remove paint from his face while rubbing his hands all over his face.

"Well, you need to look at yourself first before doing that Malhotra!"

"Well, we will see it!"

Then he ran, ran in my direction and I did the same to save my life from his devilish afterthought!

***

We both were dripped with paint our faces were looking like the face of clowns which everyone see on the cards.

I wanted to giggle at him so hard but his storming eyes were giving me caution every time, I was trying to see them.

"Now what are you waiting for? Laugh at me already isn't that you wanted to do?" 

Shittt! My mind was telling me this is all drama but my heart was constantly beating fast it was saying that he has a strange impression in his eyes; the way they were shining, or at his eyebrows which are asking me so many questions!

When I saw him again he was trying to control his laughter.

"Hahaha very funny!" I mocked him.

"You fell for that? Are you even real?"

Now he was the one who was cracking up,  covering his stomach.

But maybe I wanted to giggle too at this moment forgetting all the aspects.
Suddenly, taking revenge doesn't bother me anymore, all I wanted was to chuckle at this moment as I have never before.
All I wanted was to look up at the sky and tell all-stars to hear our laughter.
Yes, I wanted to do so much but then I perked up at him while joining him.

we both were chuckling at each other with amusement.

****

"She would be here anytime soon!"

Yes, Sarah would be here at any time and in the meanwhile,  we did nothing to stop the water supply to her room. Fitted a camera on her bed, behind the curtain.

"So everything set?"
I asked him, raising my eyebrows.

"Yes, now we have to hide let's go, "

He grabbed my hand without my consent but this time it felt strange.

We were outside the window protecting ourselves with the help of the wall when curtains were hiding us.

But I was afraid we were on the first floor and it's dangerous to sense,  one wrong step would get me killed at any time.

"Aren't you afraid?" I asked him. I don't know why I came up with this question, I am clueless seriously!

"Afraid of what?" He glimpsed at me with his geeky smile, our arms were brushing with each other.

"Afraid of falling, "

I have always been afraid of height doesn't matter how much the distance has!

He looked at me, calmly and deeply with those hazel green eyes that could even burn down a jungle with his gaze.

A screaming sound came from inside then all I could hear was him saying, Sarah.
Before I diverted my gaze from his warmth.
