Let's start--

"That was supposed to be a surprise" he said as he looked at me for a second before turning back to the road. My heart sank. I felt my hope crashing down. I hoped I would be wrong. I placed my elbow near the window and looked out at the cars passing by.

"Are you upset that I kept it a secret?" He asked. The way that he still cares about my feelings hurts me.

"Uh-no---I'm n-not" my voice cracked terribly as I felt heaviness in my throat.
"Are you crying?" He suddenly asked me as I shook my head as fast as I can.
"Congratulations" I said as he laughed.
"Thank you, I'll convey it to my brother"
"Brother?" I asked as I looked at him.
"Yes he's the one who's getting married, I was just playing with you" he giggled.

I felt relief rush over me but at the same time feeling stupid. He made me feel stupid.
"I wanna go home" I said. He frowned
"I wanted to get something to eat"
"Mr. Nigam" I firmly said "I want to go home"
"Okay" he said as he drove. The drive was awkwardly quiet. I felt like an idiot, one for
assuming he was getting married, two knowing that he found that I was upset because he's getting married.

We reached our neighborhood. I usually get down a few blocks before my apartment so that my mom does not ask questions. He stopped in the usual spot.
"Thank you for dropping me" I said before I reached for the handle.
"Avneet" he called as I turned back.
"Do I make you uncomfortable?" He asked as I didn't know what to say.

"No---but I hate when you joke about things that hurt my feelings" I said and quickly realised what I just said.
"I'm sorry it wasn't intentional but---my wedding hurts your feelings?" He asked surprised.
"That's not what I meant" I gulped.
"Sure, sweetheart" he smiled as my heart screamed to jump in his arms and tell him he's so good at this.
"Where are you going after this?" I asked

"Hmm, I should probably go meet my brother to talk about the wedding plans" he said as I nodded.
"Do you wanna join?"
"No Mr. Nigam, I don't want to interrupt your private space" I said with a smile.
"You won't and I'm sure my brother wouldn't mind"
"It's okay, I should go back home and help my mother to make lunch. I'll see you tomorrow" I said as I got down.

"I can call you sweetheart right?" He asks as my cheeks flushes into its brightest color.
"Yes"
"Alright then. See you tomorrow at college Avneet" he waved as he waited in his car for me to reach my house. He usually does this to make sure I made in safe. I waved one more time even though I couldn't see him clearly. I walked inside to find my mom
watching a tv show on Netflix.
"Hi honey, where's Riyaz he said he wanted to eat the cupcakes I made"
"I don't know mom, he left halfway" I said as I laid down on the other couch.

"Who did you come home with then?" She asked as I internally cursed myself.
"Um---Reem dropped me, yeah" I laughed
"I see. Also one of my colleagues daughter is getting married next month. I just received the invitation" she said as I nodded.
Just then I received a message from Riyaz.

Riyaz: How did it go??
Me: what do you mean?
Riyaz: I'm waiting for the wedding invitation. I walked all the way back home
Me: Ugh, don't remind me about that. It all went upside down
Riyaz : Wdym
Me: I asked him if he was getting married and he was playing with me and said yes but turns out it was his brother, I suddenly felt very stupid and I got upset that I didn't speak to him at all and asked him to drop me home
Riyaz: Gurl are you stupid???????
Me: I am
Riyaz: so y'all didn't makeup after that? Don't tell me you just left him like that.
Me: he gave me a nickname
Riyaz: What is itttt???
Me: Not telling you. Bye GTG
Riyaz: Babygirl comeback and tell me!!

I laughed as I left him on seen. I don't know what I would do without this idiot though.

-At college-

"So that's how you prove the equation is positive" he worked out the sum on the board as I quickly copied it down on my notebook. Some times I wonder how a genius like him talks to an idiot like me. He looks like a number magician in my eyes.
"Any questions?" He asked as he placed the marker on the table. The class kept quiet.
"Alright then, we're done for the day. Don't forget to prepare for your monthly test and finish the assignment before due"

We stood and bowed to him as he left the class. I dropped my head on the table when l suddenly noticed Anushka running out of the class. Is she going to Mr. Nigam?

Siddharth's pov-

"Mr. Nigam, can I talk to you?" Anushka asks as I place my files on my table.
"Sure Anushka, do you have a doubt?"
"Sir, can we go somewhere private please?" She asked as confusion overtook me. "Please" she asked as I nodded and asked her to follow me. I took her to an artroom which is usually free.
"What is it Anushka?" I asked as I half sat on the bench
"You know I love you right?"

Anushka loves Siddharth??!!!!

Bye see you all soon!!
