{Nia's POV}

Stretching my arms,rubbing my eyes, I woke up and took the phone which was placed on the side table beside my bed.

''Good morning Angel, still sleeping, get up and I shall pick you up within 20 minutes.💓💓💓 " Nimish sir texted.

I replied , '' your wish my command. See you soon professor💋💋💋.''

I quickly sauntered to the bathroom and started the shower.

Wearing my bathrobe, I came outside and opened my closet.

Keeping my hand on my waist, I mumbled ,'' Oh god! for the first time he is coming to pick me up.

''Ab kya pehnu?'' I questioned myself.

I kept on trying on dresses, finally after spending 15 minutes on trying everything and throwing everything on the bed, I chose a red polka dot ruffled jumpsuit,curled my hair,applied maroon matte lipstick,packed my bag and checked myself one last time.

''Perfect.'' I exclaimed.

''Baby, breakfast is ready .'' The maid servant informed me.

I went to the dining room and grabbed a glass of orange juice.

''Nia, have Upma. '' daddi said.

''No, I'm full. '' I answered sheepishly.

My phone buzzed, '' At your service mam .''

Kissing Daddi on the right side of her cheeks, she asked, '' Nimish . ''

I smiled.

''Baby, car keys .'' The maid servant interrupted.

''He is waiting for me.'' I said shyly

Daddi gave a teasing smile, '' enjoy Nia .''

I grinned.

I got down and saw Nimish sir leaning his body against the car, he was doing something on his phone.

I dawdled towards him.

Wishing him good morning honey, I kissed his cheeks.

He looked amazed, "curls suit you. ''

He made me sit in his car.

He got inside the car from the other side,he buckled his seat belt.

I kissed him and softly said ,'' thank you for everything.''

He smirked at me and said, '' I was expecting another type of kiss princess.''

''Sir. '' I exclaimed shyly.

And he started his car engine.

I asked him, '' can I play a song ?''

''Why play ? I will sing a song for you my honey bunny .'' Nimish sir said gleefully, making me surprised.

Raising my brows, I asked ,'' You will sing a song ?''

He didn't answer my question and instead started singing, '' Pani da rang vekh ke akhiyaan cho hanju rudd de. Mahiya na aaya mera.

And I warned him ,'' Excuse me? Your mahiya is here Dare you look at anyone.''

He laughed.

Nimish sir continued his driving, and with his other hand he cupped my face and kissed my hand.

'' Na janna hame tu kabhi chod, tere utte mar da ,milega tujhe na koi aur.''

I stared at him.

Kissing his forehead I said, '' never .''

He leaned down and kissed me near my lips.

I was about to kiss him on his lips. But honking of cars spoils our perfect moment.

Our eyes met and we shared a loud laughter.

He stopped the car 5 minutes ahead of our college ,and instructed me to get down,I looked at him and said,''Khulam khula pyaar karenge hum dono,why do you want to hide this relationship? ''

'' This is not the right time to reveal our relationship. '' He said.

"Ok,I trust you,bye,see you at college.'' I said happily.

"Princess don't forget,I will pick you up and today, we are going to have lunch together. '' Nimish sir said merrily.

I nodded yes.

I reached the classroom, and sat beside Sammy, she whispered ,"today you are looking stunning.''

I murmured ,'' thanks.''

The quantitative professor entered,and he passed the sheet of sums,and commanded, '' I will be checking this assignment,right now, so start solving it. ''

''Chalo,let's do it together'' I said.

Sammy said,'' ok ,let's start''

And we started solving the sums.

I winced in pain and said to Sammy," since, this morning, my stomach has been aching very badly,I can't bear this pain any more.

In her concerned tone she asked, " Why did you come then?''

I answered,'' Actually Nim,(I realized that I need to hide this relationship from her.)

'' Ahh!! Nothing, couldn't miss the quantitative lecture. ''

''Nia, go home now. '' Sammy ordered.

''Yup! I need to but, yes, please inform the choreographer that I was not feeling well.''

Sammy nodded in yes,'' Nia, don't worry,go home and take rest .''

Seeking permission from Mr. Sinha, I left the classroom.

I called Daddi and in painful voice I said ,"please send a driver to pick me up,I am not feeling well.''

'' What happened to you?'' Daddi asked.

Before I could answer Daddi said,'' where is Nimish?''

'' Daddi, he must be busy in his lecture.'' I said.

"Daddi, cramps. '' I said painfully.

'' Ok, I am sending him right away.'' Dadii answered.

I kept the call and sat on the bench near the cafeteria.

The driver arrived within 10 minutes and I reached home.

"What happened Nia? '' Daddi asked worriedly.

"My stomach is paining terribly.'' I said dejectedly.

''Go and change Nia. Daddi commanded.

After changing into pajama and a t-shirt , I was about to sleep.

Daddi came inside the bedroom and said,'' Nia, have this dal and rice.''

I shook my head.

"Nia, you have to, otherwise how will you take medicine ? " Daddi questioned sternly.

She made me get up from my bed and we went to the dining room,had lunch.

Finally, gulping the tablet, I went to bed and slept.

I woke up after 3 hours of sleep and took my phone,which was kept on the side table.

I shook my head in disbelief 25 missed calls and 30 text messages, as I glanced through all text messages, it was,

'' Are you safe,where are you?

Are you in trouble ?

Please tell me where are you little angel?

You are making me restless?

Please call me jaan.

I tried calling Daddi, but she isn't picking up her phone.

I love you , Where are you ?

Why are you not replying?

Angel reply, ''have I done anything wrong? ''

I called him.

'' Where are you Nia?"' he shouted on the phone.

In a scary tone, I replied ," sorry professor was sleeping and phone was kept on silent mode. ''

He yelled , "You were sleeping and here I'm worrying about you, can't you send me a message before sleeping. ''

For the first time, Nimish sir was scolding me .

I sobbed.

'' Are you crying ?'' He tensely asked.

''' Why are you crying Nia .'' He questioned again worriedly .

I controlled my sobs and answered ,'' you were yelling on me .''

''Nia , I was worried about you baba, but wait why did you leave early? ''

Caressing my stomach , I answered, '' because I have a problem. ''

"What kind of problem, tell me Nia?" He asked tensely .

"Nothing .'' I answered .

''Nia, stop this and tell me,you are making me restless again, you have already tested my patience now please stop this, I can solve any problem, now tell me,"he asked eagerly.

I giggled and said, ''You, can't solve this problem.''

"Stop giggling Nia,you are making me angry now. '' He said angrily.

I apologized, "Acha, ok sorry hmm girl's problem"

"That's what I am asking ? What girl problem are you suffering from ? I will solve everything .''He questioned tensely.

"Oh ho !you are not understanding what I am trying to say? " I said annoyingly.

"Nia, stop confusing me, and answer it aptly .'' He warned.

"Oh ho ! it's my red moon time, my stomach was paining very badly, actually today I was thinking of not going to the college,but I couldn't deny you,because you were coming for the first time to pick me up, ab samjha", I said in one go .

''Nia, I will call you .'' He said hurriedly and cut the call.

I shook my head in disbelief, this man is so unpredictable,firstly,he was worried about me.

Secondly he desperately wanted to speak to me.

But,now he just told me to cut the call .

Ohhho!! I kept my hand on my head and said to myself," anyway jo bhi hai tedha hai par mera hai. "

Life is so unpredictable..

So funny isn't it? We make promises to stay forever together with someone.

But when destiny intervenes, all the commitments are gone. Everything is gone forever and ever.

Everything slips out of your hand, just like sand.

RIP Siddharth Shukla.

Gone too soon....
