MY FOREVER WITH YOU

CHAPTER-6

"The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true."

We are not going to the auditorium.

I don't exactly knew its location but surely it won't take more than twenty minutes, the outgrown tree pathway were leaving behind. The entire campus was flanked either side into different open main roads while the rest of the important sections were spread between acres of open area.

I'm so dumb to be stuck in my bubble of anxiousness about touching him or riding on his bike to not notice the directions soon.

There is no way he is not aware, he is taking rights and lefts with much certainty, it is something again admirable for his confidence with sense of directions. The subtle ways he keeps glancing at me from side mirror making me look away has confirmed that he is very much aware that I'm with him. 

Still he is taking me somewhere and I have no idea, why.

I want to ask him then tiny part of my heart wants to prolong this moment a little longer. Sighing I think how silly of me to still wishing to collect as many as like these small moments with him. It won't change anything between us then why do I want to just live in this moment.

Focusing on my rational side, I stop myself from these fantasies. We must be on our own ways sooner or later.

"Where are we going? I don't think this is the correct path to the auditorium..." I finally ask him.

Instead of answering he slow down, parking it to the side taking off his helmet. I slowly retrieve my hand from his shoulder, I hope because of my abrupt question he won't leave me right here. I stepped down, standing to the side when he interrupted.

"You should speak louder if you want the person riding the bike to hear. I'm wearing a helmet concentrating on the path, you cannot expect me to hear your whispering voice. Except for your moving lips, I didn't catch anything."

I don't know if he was teasing me or actually reprimanding me. So I remained silent.

"But I do have a guess, his right hand reaches to swipe his luscious hair back still few stubborn strands graze his thick eyebrow.

Such simple action but it was enough to skip my heartbeat.

"So to clear your doubt we are going...I don't know somewhere. I'm not in mood to see that ghostly place, also one of you should be enough to check the auditorium." He says, convincing all the facts.

I don't know what to say?

This is the most I have ever heard him talking, so calmly.

Second, he is talking with me as if it was of his routine.

And he wants to go somewhere...with me?

"If you feel uncomfortable with me then I will drop you to the auditorium."

He diverted his gaze after leaving the decision on me, which made me extremely nervous. I'm utterly indecisive person especially if the situation is unfamiliar not to forget everything in this moment is totally unimaginable.

I unknowingly started knitting my dupatta(veil) in my fingers while thinking to myself, I hissed in discomfort as my forefinger got badly knotted in them. Everything today felt like it was determined to make me more nervous, the attempts to free my fingers from the stupid material was only increasing the pain.

I heard him sighing loudly maybe in frustration as I kept my gaze down feeling utterly childish in front of him, "You are hurting yourself. Here let me help you." He pause.
