The Eternity of Love

Chapter 12

Anaya and Diksha came back home and the whole way Diksha was teasing Anaya. Afterall she gets very rare chance to tease her, so why not take advantage of it.

After dinner as usual Anaya was standing in the balcony, staring at the sky. She was thinking about Arhan. He was so confusing to her. She wasn't able to decide whether he is bad or good? Because the way he talks or the attitude he carries was so rude but the way he cares was something different. He literally stayed there for her, he was genuinely concerned about her. Was Ronit right? Is he not what he looks like? Is there another side of him?

But he is rude. Or maybe not. Aahh....why is this guy so confusing??

Wait why are you thinking about him?

I am not.

You are.

No.

Yes.

No just stop this, she scolded her inner self who was troubling her. She took a deep breath and decided not to think about him. She went inside and slept.

Next day in lunch, Arush came to Anaya and asked, "Hey Anaya, so today also same time same place??"

"Ya sure", she replied with a sweet smile.

"No", a cold voice came. Both of them looked towards the direction of voice and saw Arhan.

Arush frowned and asked, "Why?"

Arhan came to them and replied in a cold voice, "You don't need to come, it's our punishment we will do it. You focus on your studies".

"It's OK, I don't have any issue", Arush denied. No way he was going to miss the opportunity to stay close to Anaya.

"But I have", Arhan yelled suddenly. Both Arush and Anaya looked at him with frowned brows, processing the reason of his suddenly rage. "I mean what's the need?? we can do it. Even Anaya will also not like it if you compromise with your studies. Right Anaya?" He said the last line looking at her. He was well aware of Anaya's kind nature, she wouldn't like if her friend suffer because of her. And yes his arrow hit the target spot.

Anaya blinked her eyes two three times as he turned to face her. This was first time when she found his words correct. She looked at Arush and with a sweet smile she refused him to come. "Ya he is right Arush, don't worry we will do it. You focus on your studies".

Arush also got to know that there is no point in arguing back. Moreover as far as Arhan was with her, he can never succeed in his plan. So he simply nodded in agreement. But before going he came a little forward towards Anaya. He placed his hand on Anaya's hand and said in a assuring tone, "Okay but don't hesitate to tell me if you need something or any kind of help".

Anaya nodded but Arhan...he was just glaring at his hand which was on her hand. What was the need to do this? How dare he touch her?? His eyes were shooting daggers and his fingers curled into fist inside his pocket and jaw clenched.

Anaya smiled and replied, "Ya sure and thanks for me helping me". Arush too smiled but he didn't took his hand back. He kept looking at Anaya with same smile and something dark in his eyes. Now Anaya too started feeling something uneasy. 5 seconds have passed but he didn't took his hand back.

10 seconds

15 seconds

20 seconds

Just when Anaya was about to say something Arhan took Arush's hand in his hand. "Let me also thank you", saying this he pressed his hand a little hard, making him groan in pain.
