"Hello mister!" I called him out.

How dare he? He's just walking past as if I don't exist!

I'm not going to leave him today!

"Oyee! Hello" I called him again running behind him.

I ran past him and stopped him, standing in front of him.

He gave me a what-do-you-want look.

I just stood there avoiding his look.

He is looking annoyed and irritated.
Harish, if you are this annoyed for just once when I ignored you, then imagine how would I feel when you ignored me so many times?

He tried to move away from me but I stopped him again, without saying anything.

He tried moving from the side a couple of times, but I didn't budge in.

He, annoyed, snapped his hand in front of my face.

I again ignored him.

I'm not going to speak a word unless you speak up.

He snapped his hand again and I again ignored.

He tried moving again from the side and I blocked him again.

"What?" He asked in a cold tone.

Though it scared me to a bit, I composed and smirked at him.

His face said all. He was annoyed to the core. But I still didn't answer him. I just rolled my eyes.

"What do you want?" He asked again. More like, screamed.

"Aren't you answerable to this?" I said and he looked confused.

I pointed at my phone and he sighed.

"That's your fault. You didn't handle it properly and dropped it down" he said harshly.

"Hello mister, it's you who bumped into me. Didn't you see I was da...." I couldn't say further ahead.

"Yes madam, you were what?" Now it was his time to smirk at me.

God!

How can I say that I was dancing?
It is my fault too.

"Want my help? You were dancing with your eyes closed" he smirked again.

Urghh! I so want to wipe that smirk off his face.

"Yea, absolutely. I was dancing with my eyes closed. So it was your fault. Oh don't tell me you were walking with your eyes closed!" I retorted.

"It's your fault. Who gave the permission to dance on the road? Are you mad?" He questioned me back.

He's so annoying!

"Look mister whatever! You knew that I wasn't looking at you. So it's you who dashed me. So you are at fault now" I said.

"Ok fine Ms. Annoying. Tell me, what should I do so that you release me from your accuse? As it is I can't take any more blame on me" he finally agreed.

But what does he mean by any more blame?
Is it blamed for something else?
Though his body and his gesture was calm and composed, I could sense some pain and hurt in his eyes.

What's with him? Is he in some pain?

But I know how much he loves this job of his. Priya and Kavya told me how much he struggled to get into Army and his post now, then why is he sulking, though it's not visible?

I must look into the matter. Whatever it is, I'll make sure you are safe and sound Harish. I can't see you in any pain. I'll do anything and everything for your happiness and it's my promise.

"I want you to get me a new phone or get this repaired. It must look like a new one" I demanded in harsh tone, to deviate him from the thing he is talking about blame.

"Don't you think demanding for a new phone is too much? After all it's just covered with mud!" He said it as a matter of fact.

Of course, I want a new phone. I have been longing to get a new phone since months and I didn't get enough time for it. So why not use this situation right?

"No, I don't think it's too much" I said again in my cold tone.

"Whatever. I can't get you a new one. I'll just get this one repaired" he said and I nodded.

No!! I wanted a new phone!:(

He abruptly turned around and left after looking at my eyes deeply for minute.

What the hell just happened?

He didn't even tell me bye!

I just realized he never acted like he knew me before. He didn't even say my name once and it's the same with me.

We both acted like complete strangers. In the heat of the argument, I acted like that but I very well know he wanted that only.

Doesn't he want to recognise me and my reason for my presence here? Or does he know that I'm already being transferred here?

But I don't think he already knew it cause when we bumped into each other, I could clearly see the shock in his face. So that says that he didn't know anything about me.

So it's just that he doesn't want to recognise me!

But why?
What's his problem?

We very well knew about each other's attractions back in high school. Though I very much want him not to know about it, but still I just be honest to myself, he knows it.

Once he even directly confronted me and kind of proposed me. I somehow managed to slip out of it.

I wasn't matured that time to get into such commitments like love. I wasn't even sure how my parents would react if they come to know about it. At that time I wasn't that close to my mom or dad. I was just asked to concentrate completely on my studies and thus I didn't get to be that free with my mom or dad.

But now it's not like that. My parents are okay with my decision as long as it's completely suitable for me and gives me happiness and no problem to any of us. I'm gals to get a family who values my decision and happiness more than the society's words and wired logics.

I'm very clear of the fact that I love him but why is he avoiding me?

Does he know that I still love him?

Whatever it is, I'll find it out very soon and will help you get out of all your problems and the blames.
