From Strangers to Partners

Chapter 26

Samyra's POV:

Well, this is the first day when someone other than our parents know about our marriage and for some reason it is making me nervous. Arjun is in the driver's seat while I am sitting in the passenger seat, on our way to the college. I am fumbling with my fingers which result in making noise due to the bangles in my head. I decided to wear a light blue kurti with white pants. I have my ring shining on my hand but my nuptial chain and vermilion in my forehead are still hidden, not hidden but just away from people's plain sight I would say.

"Wifey, you fine?" Arjun asks giving me a side glace before focusing on road again.

"Yeah, yeah. I am just nervous for some weird reason."

"Chill! Yash won't tell anyone."

"It's not about that. We anyways don't care if anyone gets to know about it. I don't know why I am feeling so nervous then."

"It'll be fine. Calm down!" We reach college and after giving me a quick peck on the forehead, Arjun moves back and allows me to leave the car. I go to my class and am sitting, waiting for the professor to come and begin it. I see Anmol sitting on the chair diagonal from me. He passes me a small smile which I return. Soon, the professor comes and starts the lecture. The first two classes go by pretty good and my nerves have now pretty much calmed down.

I make my way towards the cafeteria for my break and enter to see the place filled. I decide to go and sit in the field outside and turn around.

"Samyra!" I hear my name and turn around to see Harsh calling me. I am half tempted to turn around and ignore him while my other half does not wanna seem rude. By the time I contemplate my choices, by my good fortune, he comes and stands in front of me.

"Hey!"

"Hi?" I say in a questioning manner raising my eyebrows.

"So, where are you going?"

"To the field since the cafeteria seems to be a bit crowded at the moment."

"Well, I can make space for one at my table. Come on." He says before putting his hand on mine. I remove my hand from under his and give him a tight lipped smile.

"Thank you but I am fine." I move to my left to make my way out when he shifts the same side.

"Oh, come on now!"

"I would really appreciate if you move right now." I say a bit sternly.

"Oh, Samyra come on. It's not a big deal. I am just offering you a seat, nothing more."

"And well, I declined your offer. So, if you don't mind, please move." I move to my right and he again blocks my path, making me angrier.

"Is there any problem here?" I sigh hearing the voice.

"No, no. I was just asking this beautiful lady to come and sit with us. She was leaving upset that she didn't find any seat."

"Samyra can find herself a seat, Harsh. Thank you very much for your help. In fact, you know what, I know a place much better than the cafeteria. I will take Samyra there, what say Samyra? You ready?"

"Yes, bhai." I say smiling, looking at Yash bhai. He comes and putting a hand lightly on my back, guides me out of the cafeteria and into the field.

"Thanks Bhai!"

"You cannot do this!" He exclaims, making me look at him in confusion.

"What?"

"You cannot call me Bhai and then thank me." He says letting out a puff, making me smile.
