If They Parted Ways

.16.

The girls finally stopped their fast pace after reaching at a 'out of their sight' distance, Naina tried to calm her breathing by taking deep breaths.

Naina was trying to calm herself while Swati had her hand on her head. Preeti was just eyeing them one by one trying to guess how to react.

After Naina was calm enough to speak, she got hold of her sister's ear quite firmly.

"Ahh", Preeti whined. "Leave my ear Nai.....

Naina cut her off saying, "Leave you?? Why! What do you think you did???". 

Preeti opened her mouth but closed again as this time Swati pounced on her, "Why the hell did you whistle!??

Both the girls glared daggers at her as she uttered, "Well I thought the situation was filmy enough...."

Naina finally let go of her ear, stated sarcastically, "What do you think, is this some kind of movie's climax going on?"

where the hero and heroine crash into each other after separation only to get along this time

Preeti lowered her gaze and said looking down, "Did I really hurt you??"

"No. Its fine." Naina replied, lifting her face by chin. 

To ease the situation, Swati said, "We still have about 20 minutes left. Let's go to the canteen"

Both agreed and started walking towards the canteen.

While walking, Naina thought that panicking like this over and over again would not help. After all, in her subconscious, she knew that one day this was bound to happen. She needed to calm herself and make herself stable- just like Swati did. That didn't meant that her love was any less. She was just not an emotional fool like her.

-----------------------------------

When Naina started untangling herself from his strong frame, he pouted and stood upright after her.

She turned around and started taking long steps the other way. Sameer whined a little, "Naina". 

He even took a few steps towards her but was stopped by his friends. This made her panic even more.

They both practically pulled her away while he was mumbling her name with half closed eyes.

Munna and Pandit adjusted him on a chair in the canteen which was the most vacant room at that time with only 2-3 students. They both looked at each other and grinned.

Pandit shook Sameer violently wondering if he was drunk in broad daylight.

Munna approached the two students that ad their backs towards him. He patted them and they turned around.

The two boys looked like of 10th or 11th grade and both seemed to puffing cigarettes which they tried to hide but Munna saw him.

"What is this happening?" He inquired in an authoritative tone.

One of them replied, "Nothing."

"And who are you to ask that?" The other continued.

"Oyee! Do you know who are you talking to? I was the best student of this school. Ask any teacher, principal, peon or security guard- they all know me. And this habit of puffing is not gonna take you anywhere but suspension.

The two students seemed to be confused and a bit afraid by this strange speech and the rapidly changing expressions on his face. They thought the best thing to do was to slip from there.

Meanwhile, Pandit was making Sameer drink water.

As Munna came to the other side of the canteen, Pandit declared looking at him- "According to my research, this man has not consumed any liquor lately but he is drunk."

"What!" Munna was confused. "How is this possible, Dr. Bonga?"

Pandit scratched his head and mumbled, "I don't know"

Both were trying to figure out when Munna exclaimed, "Got it!"

"What did you get when I didn't gave you anything?"

"Oh stupid, I understood why Sameer's behaving this way."

What do you think Munna understood? What do you think will happen when the girls will crash into the canteen? What do you think about the comical puns I tried to add in between.

Faster updates for a while now. I will be updating 'If They Parted Ways' and 'Hurting to Healing You' simultaneously.
