First time heart flutters

Chapter-26 Few moments of Peace

"There he is," Naina muttered while clutching her file close to her chest with an arm while fiddling her dupatta with another. 

Rohan was shady, as well as mysterious in nature. Being a man of fewer words, he remained alone almost all the time. However, Rohan is not of the loser type. He had represented the State in Chess Competition twice in Nationals and managed to make it to finals once. 

The guy was walking casually down the street, with his left palm hidden into the pant's pocket while holding the phone in another one precariously.

"Hmm...Rohan," Naina called out hesitantly. He stood for a second and turned back.

"Naina Agarwal?"

"Hi Rohan," Naina forced a smile, while his eyes widened for a second before he masked it quickly. Soon his sight fell on the file she was carrying.

"Hi, so...why did you...I mean, why did you call me?" 

"Actually, umm, I need your help,"

"Mine?"

"Yeah..."

Rohan looked at Naina who was shivering.

"Is everything okay?"

Hema mentally slapped herself. 

Why is Naina taking this much time? Is he going to gobble her or what?

"Yeah," She nodded assuringly.

"So you were saying about some help..."

"Hi Rohan," Hema interfered, "Actually Naina is feeling hesitant to ask this to you because she had never tried these things before," 

Her fingers were fiddling with the all-new fountain pen gifted by her sister working as a journalist for BBC.

"What are you talking about?" 

Hema could notice the softness in his speech which he had before evaporating.

"I mean, Naina was like busy with that Sameer-Vihaan and Preeti issue for past few days, you know right, it will be physically and mentally draining to be  a class prefect while major issues crop up,"

Rohan nodded little.

"So she wasn't able to complete the assignment," Hema stressed, "And..."

"I could understand," Rohan nodded, "I can help her out,"

"Thank you, Rohan," Naina whispered.

"You are welcome," He smiled. Hema could see a flash of softness in his eyes. 

"So Rohan," Hema got the file from Naina, extending it to him," This file contains Naina's previous assignment and when can we get it?"

"Hmm, it's a 240-page assignment I hope, so on Monday? Is that okay for you?"

Hema was about to say something when, 

"Is that okay for you Naina?" Rohan cut her off.

"Hmm, I am okay with it," Naina nodded, "Also Rohan, Drishya gave me your contact and she said that I must pay some amount if you say how much..."

"No," Rohan immediately replied negative, "Actually, I am not taking money for this stuff anymore, consider this as a help,"

"Oh, Thank you, Rohan," Naina smiled.

"Munna, did you capture them?" Pundit nudged his shoulder while looking at Rohan, Naina and Hema dispersing.

"I hope so," Munna relaxed.

Pundit sighed.

These photos and Hema's recordings via pen camera shall be crucial evidence against Rohan in this issue. Now we must get a convincing clue against Mallika and that bloody Ayush.

"I would have lost my sanity by now if you hadn't called me Munna," Sameer complained, "It's suffocating to be alone, relying on others for things and these medications...god,"

"I could understand Sameer, that is horrible," Munna chuckled sadly.

"Okay, so why did you call?"

"Sameer, we got a convincing clue against foul play in the issue," Munna stressed every word with seriousness echoing in his voice.
