Cages Of Time

Chapter 2- What if all I need is you?

"Bacha take this towel, you are wet and I will bring you chai, butter you love it right"
"Yes" I said. He went inside to freshen up.
He was completely wet and he must be given a towel and he didn't even yell at his mom that I'm wet you should ask me for so called stuff. And how his mom knows that I like chai and butter. Sakshi went to the bedroom. Aunty came from the kitchen with chai, butter and Krishiv also came out of the bedroom while rubbing his head with a towel. He was wearing a yellow t-shirt and black pyjamas. He sat beside me. "Don't hesitate Dhriti if you want anything else let me know"

"The only thing which I want is that it's you". He pulls me towards himself and holds my cheek so gently just like the sky embraces the stars and the moon. Slightly rub his fingers swiftly on my cheeks just like one touches a slice of a mango.

He looks into my eyes, he is looking in such a way that he is looking at himself in me. He says that

"The only thing which I can never forget is you, your eyes are as deep as the ocean in which I want to drown and I want to drown in such a way that I never want to come up to see the sunlight, because you are the darkness where I love to live. I've drowned in you in such a way that I..............I.......... huh......

Gently pressing the corner side of my lower lip with his thumb. He suddenly closes his eyes and whispers in my right ear that show the darkest you. It's getting hard for me to breathe for me, my heart is betting so fast, his fingers glide from the left side of the neck till the collar bone is not only like a sharp knife but also soft as velvet. I grabbed his neck, I reduced the distance so even the air won't be able to pass, our noses collided-

All of a sudden a glass fell down and Krishiv shook me and said,"Dhriti where you have lost?? Are you here?" And this was the time when I realised whatever happened wasn't real. I took time to reply and just said "yes"

I don't know what happened to me, but I took all the stuff and headed towards his door. He stopped me and said, "Where are you going? It's still raining heavily wait for sometime."

I said, "it's getting too late I've to go and also I've to finish the chores of my day which are pending"

"I will drop you"

"No thanks I will go" I don't know why I was acting weird all of sudden. I took my bag an Ethernet umbrella.

"I insists"

"No it's okay for me"

"Okay fine will you take my number it will be better for us"

"Another time" I stabbed the door on his face and I'm running over the steps while crying. He called me, "DHRITI!!!!!!! WAIT!!!!! DHRITI" he tried to stop me but I didn't, hopefully he didn't see my tears.

I reached home, I really want to inform him that I've reached home safely, but I don't even have his number, he was giving me his number but I was so annoyed at myself that I didn't even think once that what I said to him. Aunt and sakshi must be thinking that I didn't even said goodbye to them properly, what a mannerless girl she must be. Uhhh this my weird imagination is going to kill me I think so..

I really don't want to see him I love him and I've kept this as a secret for years and I don't even know whether he gives a thought to my name or not atleast once in his life. I'm never going to meet him, Even if I see him on my way I'm going to ignore. He is not a part of my life and neither he will be.

"Sweety where is your watch??"

"Oh mom!!! I think I forgot it in the classroom" I don't exactly remember where I've forgotten it in class or at his home oh no.....

"See to it that you take the watch from lost and found by tomorrow itself. I don't know anything and how can you be so careless, that watch has been given by your grandma and it's her last remembrance, this was the reason that I was not giving watch to you and now you have lost it. Great!!!

"Okay mom I'll see" If the watch is in classroom then no problem but if I've forgot it at Krishiv's house then it's problematic for me.

"Just 'okay', 'I"ll see' what the hell this means I want that watch by tomorrow at any cost. Otherwise you are grounded" hmm

Today's day full of roller coaster I met him, I felt good, but I even ruined the day for him and also for myself.

"Mom it's whose watch on TV's cabinet??, it feels so similar..." Krishiv asked his mom

"May be your friend have forgotten this I think so"

"Oh yes she was wearing this I remember I will try to return it"

"It belongs to her she will come and take it no need to take much of initiative. People must be careful about their belongings. All Person are not same."

"Why are you being so rude to her, she was getting late to reach home, it happens some times and she is not a careless"

"Whatever!! do whatever you feel is correct"

"I'll do the correct" Krishiv said to his mom

Me wondering what I should do now, already it's been messed up in my head. What if I forgot that watch at his house??? I don't want to see him. I've explained myself a lot but now it feels like things are not in my hand.
