Out Of The Blue

5- You did this intentionally

Author's POV

The next day at school, Ms. Manvi entered the classroom and announced that the next day in assembly, the students of senior wing have to speak general awareness. "Okay students, If anyone is interested than tell me fast", she said. " Mam I want to speak ", both Harsh and Ashi said together and started staring at each other. " Well only one person can take part in this so you both decide and tell me fast", Ms. Manvi said to them. "I want to speak tomorrow", Harsh said to Ashi as if he was ordering her. " Ohh and who are you to decide this? Mr. Topper ", Ashi said angrily. " You only gave the answer to your question. I am the topper of this class so I will speak tomorrow ", Harsh said with no expressions. "Wait wait, who said that you are the topper of this class? Our test have not started yet so technically you were the topper of previous class", she said. "So what?nothing has changed and this time also I will only top", Harsh said and smirked. " In your dreams ", Ashi said. " Did you say something ", Harsh asked teasingly. Ashi was about to reply him when Ms. Manvi said, " You both stop fighting like kids and decide fast or else I will ask someone else to speak ". " No mam we are telling ", Ashi said and looked at Harsh. " I have an idea ", Ashi said instantly. " What? ", he asked. " Let's decide by playing rock-paper-scissor ", Ashi said. " Are you serious? God knows from where you get these childish ideas. I am not going to play this stupid game", Harsh said. "Don't argue right now, we don't have time otherwise mam will ask someone else", Ashi said seriously. Harsh thought for sometime and said," Okay fine..". They both turned a little so that Ms. Manvi don't see them. They both started playing and at last Harsh won. " Your idea was childish but anyway the result is in my favour ", Harsh said to Ashi and she didn't say anything further. " Mam I will speak ", Harsh said to Ms. Manvi and she went away. Ashi was cursing herself for giving the idea but now it was of no use. " Ab pachhtaaye kya ho jab chidiya chug gyi khet...."
When the school got over, she went home.
In the evening Aarush came to her house but Harsh was not there with him. Both Ashi and Aarush started studying. Today Ashi's mood was not good so she was not saying anything. After sometime the doorbell rang and Ashi went to open the door. When she opened it, she saw that Harsh was standing in front of him. "I thought that you will not come today", Ashi said to him. " Why? My best friend is here and I don't want to leave him alone,,,specially with you ", he said and came in. " For God sake Harsh, he is not a kid", Ashi said being irritated. "But you are", Harsh said and went straight to her room. Today nobody was speaking anything, so to lighten up everyone's mood Aarush said, " Hey can I tell you all a joke? "." If we will deny will you not tell? ", Harsh asked him. " Why? Then also I will tell... "Aarush said and laughed.
" So tell me, which is the longest word in English? ", Aarush asked. " We don't know you tell ", Ashi said to him. " Smiles" , Aarush answered. "How? ", Harsh asked. " Because there is a mile between the first and the last word ", Aarush said and started laughing loudly. Ashi and Harsh looked at each other for sometime and they also burst out laughing........ After 1 and a half hour, Harsh and Aarush said goodbye to Ashi and went away. When they both left, Ashi took out her phone and started scrolling some reels. After sometime her mother called her for dinner. After having dinner she came back to her room. It was 9 o'clock. She started completing her homework. 1 hour later, when she got up for taking a break, she noticed that there was one book lying in the corner of the table. She took it up and read the name on the name slip - "Harsh Pandey".
"This Mr. Topper was calling me careless and now see who left his book here.., Stupid! . Oh God now I have to handle this book for whole one night because if it gets damaged then he will definitely blame me....", Ashi said to herself being irritated.
She took out her phone and called Aarush. After 3-4 rings he picked up the call. Ashi told him about Harsh's book and asked him if he can come to her house and take the book. Aarush replied, "I am so sorry yaar, my grandmother's health is not good so I am going to my village with my family today. I will come when exams will start. I am so sorry.... You can return his book tomorrow in school", after saying all this he disconnected the call. " Well he is right, I can return his book tomorrow also", Ashi said to herself and kept the book on the table and started studying. All the time God knows why but she was again and again looking at Harsh's book. Sometimes later when she could not hold her curiosity, she stood up and took the book in her hand. She started turning it's pages and in one page, she found a white paper which was kept there folded. "No Ashi you can't open it, it's of Harsh's and touching anyone else's things is bad manners", she said to herself. " But........... Since no one is here so I can open it by the way, kisi ko kya hi pata chalega... ", she said to herself. The very next moment, she opened it. " Eww, what is this handwriting yaar.... God knows how teachers check his exam copies ", she said making a weird face. She was trying to read what was written on it but it was very difficult. " Ge.... ra...., aaiyye baingan ", Ashi said. After trying for next five minutes, she successfully read the first word which was " General awareness "." Ohh so he is going to speak on this topic tomorrow. Wait a minute, if this page is here then how will he prepare his speech?? It's 11:15 pm now,  what should I do?? ", Ashi was thinking all this and at last she decided that she will give it to him tomorrow morning before going to school........

Next day

Ashi woke up very early and got ready. She had asked Aarush about Harsh's address and he had already sent her. She quickly got ready and left her house at 6:30 am. She went to the required address and after searching in the colony for about 10 minutes, she got Harsh's house. She rang the bell and sometimes later Harsh opened the door. "You are really standing here or I am still sleeping?? ", Harsh asked in a very sleepy voice. " Should I throw a bucket of water on your face then you will believe? ", Ashi asked teasingly. " No need, tell me what are you doing here and that too this early? ", Harsh asked with no expressions. " Since you are so careless that's why I have to wake up so early ", Ashi said to him. " If you are here to talk about all these nonsense then you can go ", Harsh said being irritated. "I am also not dying to waste my sleep for you, you forget this yesterday so I came to give you", Ashi said and forwarded his book and paper. Harsh took that and after looking at it for sometime, he said, " You are returning it to me now?? Can't you return it to me yesterday? Now how will I prepare my speech? ". " What the hell!! Instead of thanking me you are complaining that why I haven't returned it yesterday? ", she said. " Why should I thank you? You intentionally did not return this to me yesterday so that I could not get enough time to prepare my speech", Harsh said angrily. "What nonsense!!! I got to know about this very late night, how could I have returned it yesterday? ", Ashi also said angrily. " You know what, I don't want to waste my time by talking to you so get lost..... ", Harsh shouted on her and closed the door with great force. Ashi was standing there like a statue. She was not able to believe what had just happened. She was about to go from there when she saw Harsh's bicycle standing there. She started kicking that in anger. She kicked it in anger until it fell down. " What does he think of himself?? You have to pay for your actions Mr. Topper...... ", Ashi said to herself........
