***************************

I LIKE HIM!

Yes, I like him. I can't really say if this is the initial stage of the most magical feeling of the world. But I can definitely say that his presence settles a kind of ataraxia in me. Like a worn-out person feels when cool and soothing zephyrs hit him after a long tiring day taking away all his worries. Like when the wind rushes to pass through the green soft different shaped fronds erupting the psithurism leaving the poor fronds unsettled yet with unknown stability which makes them wait for it more. Like...

My never-ending thoughts got intervened by a deep voice with concern dripping from it "Yuvi, are you okay?" taking all my attention to his well-sculpted face. Not knowing what to say I nodded assuringly only to earn a gorgeous smile on his full lips with its charming constant, his dimples. I couldn't help but fix my eyes on his full lips.

How will his petals feel when placed against mine?

Wait... Did I? Did I just thought it? Nooooooooo! How could you Yuvika? Seriously!? Yuvi hold on girl! 

But still, I can't help but wonder about it: How it will feel like- his lips on mine? At this thought, I could feel my cheeks getting hot. I'm damn sure, one look, and anyone could clearly see my tomato face. 

"I know I'm very much good looking and girls swoon over me. But I didn't expect YOU to blush when I just asked whether you're okay or not!" Lakshya again interrupted my weird thoughts with a teasing smile pasted on his face. Oh shit! He caught me, dammit!

I quickly said," Ahhh no no I'm not blushing. It's just that I have applied a little more red tint blush today, that's why it seems like I'm blushing". I know it's the worst excuse ever but I couldn't come up with any other excuse other than this. Poor me! He laughed at my excuse and I smiled sheepishly not knowing what to say.

This is the thing! A few moments ago I was feeling hell scared because of the previous night's events, but the moment Lakshya came everything got back to its own place. All my worries, restlessness, anxiety, fear, etc suddenly got vanished in the air. And as he himself said, his presence is enough to unleash the zoo of butterflies in my stomach. 

Damn! How the hell this man is making me feel these forbidden things that I haven't felt ever, that too unknowingly? 

He asked once he was done laughing," Okay jokes apart. You're okay, right?" with a serious stature and concerned face. I nodded while saying," I won't lie. I was scared at first but now I'm fine. Thanks to you!" giving a small smile and continued," By the way, what are you doing on this bus? As far as I know, I haven't seen you traveling on this bus earlier. I'm a regular passenger". He instantly replied," Actually, I got up late today, that's why I missed my usual bus. I always travel by bus number 15 which starts its journey before this bus. And I guess I don't need to explain why I'm late as you already know the reason".

He smiled but it was a half-hearted one. It's not that I haven't noticed his dull demeanor till now. I have noticed it but I chose to ignore it. But now the topic itself came up. 

"So, you talked to her? What happened?" I asked immediately not even thinking a bit and earned a dry chuckle from him. Uh-ou! The wrong question, I guess. He turned to me, eyes getting watery said," No... Tri...Trisha... I mean my girl... ex-girlfriend... didn't pick my... calls. She's still pissed" with voice shaking a bit though he was trying hard not to and again started, "But I'm not gonna cave in, I'll try to convince her and prove myself innocent. After that everything will be in her and fate's hands", completing with a heavy sigh.
