My Love Story Is Totally Predictable

Chapter Eight - Surprise!!!

"Guess Who?"

Why am I getting a feeling of Deja vu? I think I know this voice.

"Is that you Aasira?"
"You guessed it. Are you going home?"
"Wait, why are you here? You are in our school uniform."
"I think that's pretty obvious. I am the new transfer student!"
"So that new transfer student is you!"
"Yes, I wanted to give you a surprise. We are going to stay here until my Twelfth Board Exam."
"So are you going to give the final exam from Mumbai?"
"Yes, my dad's company made all the arrangements for my examination here!"
"That's some great news."

Aalima said,
"Alban, why are you still here and why is Rikka with you?"
"I was in the science lab, so Aalima were you going home with Aasira?"
"It's a teacher in school! No, I was not going home with Aasira, I was taking her to your house. She wanted to meet you."
"So that's why you both are together."
"Well if you are here then take her with you. I have some work in school."
"Okay then I will."

It really is going crazy now. How did all this happen? I was going to introduce Aasira to Rikka but.

"So you are the famous Aasira. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's also very nice to meet you too Rikka."

They both did a hand shake, I don't know why but I am getting a weird feeling of tension between these two. These two are giving a different vibe than usual.

"Alban, you forgot your umbrella, right? Come under mine, I want to see your house too."

Rikka said,
"Alban is going with me. We decided to go together in the morning. You can walk with us. I will drop him home."
"It's pretty late, Rikka. I think you should get going. It will take more time for you to drop Alban home and then go to your own house."
"I won't get late, my house is in the same neighborhood where Alban lives."

As I was watching them end their conversation with whom I will go back home, Aalima came to me and said,

"Is it just me or are you also thinking the same thing?"
"What thing?"
"That they both are fighting over you."
"Nah you are just imagining they won't fight over me."

As they both were having a conversation with each other. Aalima lent me her umbrella and said she will take it later from his house. I opened the umbrella and said,

"Let's go home, we are getting late. Aasira, Rikka, come-on hurry."

After saying that I don't know why but I saw the face of a defeated person in both of them. Rikka had some work at home so she didn't wait much outside my house and went home. Aasira was totally excited to come inside my house. I opened the door and thank god I kept it clean today. I don't want Aasira to get in the house when it's not clean. Actually, not only Aasira but I also don't want others to come into my house when it's dirty.

"Will you have lunch here Aasira? I will make something for you too."
"Yes, I want to have some of your food."

I made some rice and vegetable salad with some tomato gravy. Aasira was in the kitchen helping me around. I served the food in the Hall and we started to eat.

"Alban, how did you get so good at making food?"
"Well I am the only one in the house who does all the work. I have to get good at making food too."
"It's totally delicious."

After having lunch we went to my room.

"So Alban, are you visiting her on the 18th?"
"Yes I will. I do it every year."
"I knew it. Aalima, Sofia and I are also tagging along. It's been a long time since I went to her grave."
"Yes you were not in the city all this time. It's alright that you were not here I visit her every year"
"Okay then I will inform both of them about our plans."
"I think on 18 it's Sunday. I think they will come."
