My Heart Beats for you

Book shop

Yusha's Pov

Jasmine took us to another room which was on the north side of campus. we all followed her to the room. I thought it would be a normal room for practice but it wasn't. The room or I should say dance hall was perfectly large enough for us. There were speakers stuck in the upper corner of the room. The music player was kept on the right side of the hall. The dance hall had large mirrors joined to the three walls of the hall. Seeing this more nervousness grew in my mind for the competition day.

"Freshers!!" Jasmine turned around to face us after we all came inside the hall

"Meet Olivia, Emma, Ava, Sophia, Isabella and Charlotte," Jasmine said pointing at each one

"Hello!!" We all said at once

"Hello!!" Olivia, Emma, Ava, Sophia, Isabela and Charlotte said to us

"They are going to teach you all How to dance," Jasmine said to us with a serious look on her face

Nobody speaks at that moment

"On competition day, There will be three rounds," Jasmine said to clear things for us

"in Round one: Each pair have to perform dance,

in Round Two: Each pair have to show something unique talent,

and in Round Three: Each pair have to say something about their faculty and about our uni" Jasmine said and left the hall

oh, sweat god! I have to give a speech in the last round and have to show my talent I talked to myself.

Seeing my worried look, Numa placed her hand on my shoulder to comfort me

and said "Everything will be fine"

I gave her a smile in return

"Okay kids" Olivia started. She had golden colour hair, blue eyes and very pretty face

kids?? I am 18 and you are calling me a kid

"As Jasmine mentioned earlier, We are going to teach you to dance for Round One.

we will start our dance practice tomorrow. " Olivia said and left the room along with Emma, Ava, Sophia, Isabela and Charlotte

As soon as they left the hall, A sequence of whispers began to ring in the hall.

In the cafeteria

I was still thinking about what is my talent. I was playing with food with a spoon.

Seeing my worried face numa speak "What happened? why are you playing with the food? What are you thinking about? "

I immediately stopped playing with food. I raised my head up from the table to face Numa.

"I am thinking about my talent. like what to do on competition day"

"Don't think too much otherwise your hair will turn into white colour," Numa said with a smirk

"ha ha ha, I am serious," I said with a serious look after I gave a fake laughter

"What are you going to do on competition day?"I asked

"I am going to do Manjushree (Manjushree is a dance that is believed to have come from Mahachin. The place is a special one in Nepalese culture as the Bodhisattva who made Kathmandu Valley inhabitable by draining water out of it.) dance," Numa said with a smile

I gave a smile in return after she smiled. After a few minutes of thinking

"Ohh this is a headache," I said in a loud voice.

"Relax.... why are you thinking this much? you already have a talent" Numa said

"I have?" I gave a confused look because I didn't know my talent

"You can sing!! you have a sweet voice" Numa answered

After hearing from Numa I thought for a while and "Ya I can sing " I said it loud

Numa gave a head node and we both eat saliently.

After we finished eating lunch we headed for a book store.

"Which novel are you going to buy?"Numa asked me while walking toward the book store

"I don't know? You suggest some" I said looking at her face

"Umm, You can read...." She thinks for a while and jumps on her feet "Ya Until we meet again, Secret love, First love..." and she went on saying the name of the novel until we made it to the book store

"Tin-tong" The doorbell rings

We greeted the shop owner with a head nod. The shop owner nodded too.

The book store was quite big than I thought. There were altogether 9 sections of book-sheaves

Numa and I went to the 8th section.

"So which book would like to read," Numa said while she was scanning the upper-row of the 8th section

"Umm," I thought for a while

"Until we meet again," I said

"No! that the book for the break-up," Numa said

"Then Secret love," I said without hesitation

"Umm But your love is not secret anymore like I know who you love the most," Numa said with a teasing smile

"Okay then What should I read," I asked out of frustration

"First Love," Numa said and hands me the book

The book she handed over to me was dark red in colour and hand a heart shape on its cover.

"Okay then let's buy it," I said after reading its first chapter. You know Don't judge a book by its cover so I read its first chapter

Numa and I were about to move to the counter to pay for the cost of the book.

Then two students enter the shop. *Hello Mr.pradhan* I turn to see who were they because their voice sounds familiar to me

Why are you everywhere I go? I said to myself in a very low voice. Because they were Rupan and Kshitiz

"It's in the 8th section, Kshitiz." The owner said to the boys

My heart began to beat faster after hearing his name, some kind of strange movement was happening inside my stomach, It felt like butterflies are flying happily inside my stomach.

Numa immediately holds my hands and begin to move toward the counter keeping me away from their eyes.

I could notice that kshitiz raise his hand to say hi but Numa was fast and we made it to the cash counter.

"Book please," The owner asked to check the price of the book

I slid the book toward the owner on the table

The owner looks in the back of the book

"It is 500/-" The owner said

I checked in my bag and found 500 and paid the cost of the book.

"Thank you Mr.Pradhan" I said

"Thank you and come again." The owner said and we left the book store.
