THE EMBODIMENT OF TERROR-I

AARDHYA'S HEART-I

Aardhya was lying on her bed and wasn't able to sleep. She kept thinking about that warm handshake and blushed while on the bed and couldn't sleep either as she was looking forward to meeting Moksh the next day.

6 AM

Aardhya couldn't sleep till 4 AM, but somehow she fell asleep and woke up after 2 hours. She took a hot shower of approximately 20 minutes and was enthusiastic rather than be good. Aardhya reached college on time and couldn't find Moksh assumed he must have been late; Moksh arrived at college at 9:20 AM just before college's gate closing time. The first lecture was about composition painting as he was moving towards the classroom and saw Aardhya waiting beside the room and enthusiastically greeted him. "Hi! Moksh!" she said, and Moksh seemed quite bewildered by this still he replied her back.

"Hi, Why are you standing outside? let's go inside." Both of them went inside Aardhya was feeling a bit shy, but she was happy being around him, and they sat together in one of the mid rows of the classroom. Her concentration was more on Moksh than on the class, and she was taking little peeks at him; he felt her gaze already but hadn't flinched, and because of his new body, his senses are sharper than before he could even hear Aardhya's breathing if he concentrates. The lecture got over around 11:00 AM, and Moksh stood up and started to go away; she stopped him and asked, "Would you like to come to the canteen with me?" He accepted her offer and went to the canteen, but Aardhya got tense what she saw there it was Yash Singhania while he was sitting there with his friends' group at the corner table of the canteen. She was nervous about it as Moksh was walking beside him, and they got seated on the table parallel to Yash's on the other corner. He stood up and went to the canteen to get some 'samosas' and teas. Yash's eyes moved around, and he saw her sitting, and he moved towards her. "Hi, it's been a while, Aardhya", Yash said with a haughty and arrogant tone. She didn't even turn around towards him and gave a cold response, but Yash didn't seem to get enough and spoke, "You came here today alone?" Moksh just got his order and was moving towards the table and saw Yash standing there; his mood got annoyed still moved towards them and said, "excuse me." Yash was quite surprised to see him and Aardhya together, and Moksh sat on the chair in front of her but didn't pay much attention to Yash, but he deliberately put a hand on Moksh's shoulder to show some pressure and dominance. Moksh didn't like this, and it made him furious he turned his gaze, and his eyes filled with anger suddenly, the Aura started to flow furiously, and it made Yash scared to its bones and felt like he was staring at death and the next instant took few steps back and said stammeringly "I will see you later guys..." then ran away. Moksh was relieved and happy because that annoyance was gone, and he was no more pushover now. Aardhya was surprised by his demeanour, and he was even able to scare off Yash with a single gaze; even that stare gave her the chills.

They got their food done and moved to lectures again, and after that, everything went well without any nuisances; the college got over at 2 PM, and Aardhya called out to go for coffee, but he rejected her offer as he had to complete Physics, so he took his leave, She was disappointed a bit but still understand his concern.
