Tales of the Heart

chapter 5

After completing her first day of college classes, Aaira comes out of her classroom. Although she has made friends, she still walks out of the classroom alone:
But as soon as she comes out of her classroom she is shocked to see the person who always makes her angry.

Whereas, that guy was standing outside her classroom waiting for her and as soon as she comes out of the classroom, a smile comes on his face, Finally he is seeing her after almost 2 months but his smile fades when Aaira sees him coming towards her but she turns her steps and starts walking away from him.

" Mannat, wait." She grinds her teeth hearing her name in his voice, Only her father calls her by this name and she has not given him the right to speak this name.

But at the same time she wonders what is he doing here, as far as she knows he was with her brother Aarav in school but not in college and that is why she chose this college but when did he start studying here ? If she had even the slightest idea that he studies here, she would never take admission here.

She is moving ahead with her thoughts and he is following her calling her name but when he doesn't understand any other way, he immediately catches her wrist from behind

" Mannat, I said wait." He says holding her wrist but seeing him holding her wrist she gets even angrier, She turns towards him and sees her wrist in his hand and with a jerk she frees her hand from his grip

" Don't you dare touch me again Reyansh Singhania." she says to which Reyansh sighs.

He sighs because he doesn't understand why this sweet girl who is sweet with everyone turns into fire as soon as she comes in front of him

Well, today he was happy to meet her after 2 months, to see her in person.
2 months ago, the two met at a family dinner where the three families "Mehra, Khanna and Singhania" got together to have a good time.
It is also a different matter that on that day too he was only able to see her, he could not talk to her and this was not a new thing either.

They both meet often because of the family friendship between their parents but whenever they come face to face and when Reyansh tries to talk to her, Ansh always comes in between, he never lets Reyansh reach Aaira or talk to her.
And today when Ansh is not here, he thought that he will talk to her and try to fix their messed up things but this girl is not listening to anything.

" I'm Sorry for touching you but you were not stopping so I had no other option." Reyansh immediately says sorry when she warns him against touching her.

" But listen to me once...please." Reyansh adds to which she looks at him

" Say...what do you want to say?" she says in her rude tone and he takes a breath that she's finally ready to listen.

" Forgetting the past, can't we become friends again ?" Without beating around the bush he directly states his main point, extending his hand of friendship towards her and as Aaira looks at his hand, she suddenly remembers some things that how she had once tried to hold his hand, but he had forcefully pulled his hand away from her grip and this thought brings a sad smile to her lips.

" Why ? So that you can shake off my hand again ?" she says to which he see her

" Can't you forget the past, we were kids." Reyansh says in his sweet tone

" Yeah, we were kids that's why I can't forget how someone insulted me when I didn't even know the meaning of insult, but now that I know, I can't forget my insult...." Reyansh sees her on this and she speaks further

" Aaira Khanna can never be anyone's second choice and what happened ? Didn't you have any girlfriend here who is better than me ?" she asks to which he looks at her
