Darshan x Pari

Chapter 2 💖

I looked up at the boy's face, once again. He was... "Omg! Are you...really? Are you really Darshan Raval?!" I exclaimed. I had never been happier in my life. 

He looked at me, then smirked, and then finally, nodded. "Yes, I'm that very Darshan who's posters are in your room, and the very guy you crush on, " he replied, saying more embarrassing information than he needed to say. 

I blushed. Why the heck did he know all of this? Then, he gently put his arm around me. "So, why is a pretty girl like you so sad today, huh?" He asked, gently. 

"I got 75 marks on my maths exam and now Mumma is all mad at me!" I replied, explaining everything, and crying along the way. 

He cupped his hands around my face and dried my tears with a blue handkerchief. "Hey, hey, everyone messes up sometimes. Don't be so sad," he said, gently. He kissed my head. And then...disappeared...I was awake now, still in my room. 

'What in world...' I thought as I woke up. Was that even real? Or is Mumma right that I have trully post my entire mind..? 

"Pari! Wake up right now, you sleepy head! It's 5 pm! When are you going to study for your science exam tomorrow, huh? And your Papa has to scold you too!" I heard mom yelling from the dining room. I sighed. God help me, I muttered. 

I went and sat on the sofa across from Papa. He was looking stricter than usual. Being my parents only child meant I was such a spoiled and loved kid, but that also meant all the an get was taken out on me. Papa coughed, and then begun his lecture. 

"So Pari, I heard you got 75 marks on your exam, huh? Not good, beta. You need to do better. You need to prepare for your boards. I won't yell at you, since I believe your mom has done so enough. However, my smart kiddo, where are your thoughts these days? I'm so happy that your mumma took your phone away. What do you even think about--boys?" He questioned. 

My face turned redder than a tomato. This was more embarrassing than the time I tripped over Meena's (my bestie) shoelace and fell in front of everyone in class... 

"Uh Papa, I don't think about boys. It's just that it's hard to do well on every exam. I'm sorry," I said sincerely. 

After 20 minutes of lecturing, Papa went to watch the news like nothing happened. I got sent to my room to study for my science exam tomorrow. I was given dinner inside my room too. I studied until 9pm, then made my bed, got my uniform ready, prepared my shoes and socks and backpack. Then, finally at 10:15 pm, I went to bed.
