Gulki's Pov

"Gulki...."

I don't know why I did what I did after this.

Her big doe eyes were shocked as I stepped closer to her. The next thing I noticed was her head in my chest. A wonderful feeling went down my spine. It was a feeling of calmness, all the questions in my heart seemed to be nearer to the answers. Her scent filled my nostrils. This was the first time in my life, I've ever felt like this. I.. I just want to keep her with me, protect her by any means and... and I want to kiss her cherry lips...

Wake up Gulki. What are you doing.

I realised it was too long. And she might be scared at my sudden reaction. So I said in her ears, "Let me learn how to like someone, till then be here, please." It was a request. I just don't want to leave her in pain. But it will be a so wrong if I just play along with her with this puzzled emotions of mine. I can't break her heart. I need to discover myself before giving her everything. I'm falling, I'm falling for her... I'm falling for her scent, her eyes, her smile.....

Is this how it feels to like someone?

I broke the hug. A smile crept in my face. Woah, I'm shocked by my own reactions. Her eyes look teary, is she sad, scared or happy? I can't really tell right now.

I bade her Good Night as I entered in my room and closed the doors. My body was heavy from today evening. When that Anurag said he wanted to go with them, my blood boiled. I wanted to punch him in the face, that f**king b*stard. What does he think about himself, a superstar ?

And then there is ammi. She was never there when I needed her in my childhood. And now here she is meddling in my life at every moment. I respect her, love her. But it makes me feel suffocated when she pushes me to do something that she likes. It is not that I dislike Kapoor. I'm learning to.. to like someone. But every moment I'm with her, ammi keeps pushing me about her. I need to tell this to Kapoor.

Yukti Kapoor.... Please don't ever fall for anyone else.

Yukti's Pov

One can definitely feel the pressure in the air exactly one week before the performance. The school has suspended all the classes to give us plenty of time to rehearse until the last minute. School's open stage is being decorated, and we often come across many significant alumni who are taking part in the school's anniversary celebration this year, and our previous club officers come and see the practice to help. This is the time of the year that envy those students who have no clubs, because they just focus on the booths, and not have this feeling of having close to nervous breakdowns.

"Maya, you're off steps" I said and repeated the step. "Get it a little steady, like this."

"Okay prez," and she tried again. She tried the part again and this time she hit it correctly.

"That's right!"

She smiled, "Thank you prez."

I smiled back and moved to Disha and Rupel. They are going to represent the pre-dance. "Rupel be steady... 1,2,3 Disha jump now." Then she jumped as he catch her and then spin. "Woww you guys are killing it. Take a little break and continue practicing with the others,"

I stood and went to Anurag who is rehearsing with Simran. He will be the angel, and Simran will be the girl he loved. "Give a more emotional facial expression, Anurag."

"Like this?" he made a face like someone getting constipation. Both Simran and I burst out laughing. "You look like an idiot," Simran said, sitting down and massaging her legs. She has a part where she will run and then fall on the floor because in the storyline, she would be hit by a car. "Are you hurt?" Anurag asked, kneeling down and massaging her legs for her.
