SCHOOL CRUSH

10

SHREYA POV :

" I must have got umbrella ," I muttered as I stood at the entrance slightly drenched by the sudden downpour.

I left my mobile on the bus accidentally this morning and came to get it back .

But the unexpected sudden downpour made me seek a shelter in the parking entrance.

It's too cold ... I seemed warmth by rubbing my hands. It has been pouring for the past 15 minutes.

My mobile rang and it's " MATHS MADHAN SIR."

" Hello ? " I said, and he asked." Where are you ? "

" I am at the parking entrance . Can you please watch over my class too. I came to retrieve my mobile from the bus but got stuck. "

"Just wait there . " The call got cut, or he cut it.

I saw him, waking towards me with an umbrella.

He is coming for me... He is coming to safeguard me.

My heart got overwhelmed by the feeling that he is coming despite the heavy downpour , despite that he was half drenched.

' Enaku edhu pottum .. Enaku edhu pothu ' a mind voice screamed within me.

" Come," he said once he was infrot of me.

I got into the umbrella.

Like a chick getting accommodation to the hen to seek warmth , I got with him.

The distance to the school was around 500 meter . He need to walk across the ground.

The wet mud making it impossible to walk at faster pace unlike him who was steady . The saree was adding extra burden to me.

At a point , I lost my balance and grabbed his shirt to support while he grabbed my waist and clashed me to him.

I gwaked at him with parted lips.

There is a mixture of acid and base within me , erupting every cell to scream with untold sensation ever.

He was having no idea to retract his hand , I guess and I have no complaints.

" I will hold you till we reach. It's slippery " He reasoned while his hand gripped my bare waist.

Usually , I make sure that the saree was properly drapped not giving view of my waist but today it got slightly disorganized by the rain thus , giving him access to my bare waist .

We did not walk hand in hand but my waist in his hand slowly ... like we were in our own world.

The only question is why ? Why he is doing all this ?

I asked him indirectly with the question "I asked you to keep an eye on my class only right ? Why you came all the way ? "

" Theni karangalku manasu konjam perusu " he said.

" Pattu perusu nu pattu perra vadhagaiku vechuradhega," I mocked him.

" chi.. Chi.. mulusa Patta pottu oruthi kaila kodhuthuruva " he said.

" Parra ... " I said and a little discomfort tightened my heart.

" Patta pottu kodhuthacha ? " I asked .. I am sure that a fear was felt in it.

I feared what if he says yes... then, I must go through the pain again.

Seven years ago... my classmate RENU proposed him on Feb 14 with a rose and she said MADHAN also accepted her love .

Then , On the very next day due to unavoidable situation we came to thirunelveli and stayed here for a week . My heart cried in agony of loosing him and with the thought that he belongs to someone.

My parents decided to vacate from THENI to Thirunelveli.

They thought to join me in hostel for the next two years as it is not good to discontinue schooling in the middle of 11th.

I was stubborn and asked them to get my TC and move along with them. I can't take the sight of him with other girl.

I was afraid to further break my heart as it got broken by the fact he accepted love of other girl.

But , when I was bidding my good byee to my friends they told that RENUKA lied of being in love with MADHAN as yesterday , MADHAN has come to class and yelled at her for spreading rumors about him on her face.

They also told that he was in love with someother which is why he rejected RENU.

It was quite obvious as RENUKA was the beauty of my class with a perfect figure and skin tone.

But then things were out of hand as I got my TC my parents had already vacated the house.

My insecurity... It played major role in the question that if he did not fall for RENUKA will he for you ??

I decided to get a final glimpse of him and rushed to his class excusing with a lie to restroom but he was absent for the day.

Absent on my final day of school. I cried for two days straight and my parents thought I was missing my friends.

My heart knows that the tears are for him... for this MADHAN who was staring at me blankly without answering the question .

" Vangikuvigala " he asked and I felt a adrenaline rush at his question.

" Huh ? " I asked in daze.

" I mean umbrella, we reached . I will wash up and come . Can you get this umbrella and hand over to my class girl SANGEETHA . vangikirengala ? " He asked again

' Vengayam ... velakennai... evlo velakkama munadhiye keka vediyathu thana ? 'I scolded him in mind and harshly grabbed the umbrella from his hand and rushed away.

All my way my heart was just wondering on the dilemma of whether there is chance for him to like me as his action spokes in favour .

What do you think ?

........ ......

How many of you want MADHAN pov ??
