I was busy in my dreamland, with a faceless guy who seemed to come into my dreams daily.

My mom poured a whole bucket of water in my face.

"Get up, kumbkaran!" She shouted, i winced and got up.

"Kya mumma, sone bhi nahi dete" i said, while yawning.

"Madam, it's 7 am. School nahi jana?" She said, while taking the blanket away from my body, and folding it.

"Yeh roz school kyu hoti hai" I said.

I got up and went to the washroom.

After 15 minutes, I came out wearing my school dress and stood in front of the mirror, and made a pony in my hair, applied a small amount of lipgloss.

"Sundar toh tu hai hi" i said, while looking at myself in mirror and giving myself a flying kiss.

I put my history and English textbook inside my bag, closed the zip took my bag, and went down.

Dad was reading the newspaper, mom was arranging breakfast.

"Agastya" Mom shouted.

Bhai came downstairs and hit my head with a piece of paper in his hands

"Ouch" I winced, rubbing the spot he hit.

I hit him on his biceps, and he winced.

As if he got hurt from it

I rolled my eyes.

I was already late for my classes, I stuffed my mouth with one aloo paratha my mom made, and gulped orange juice.

I started coughing as it got stuck in my throat.

Someone patted my back, and after 2-3 coughs, I became normal.

I looked at the hands, then my eyes went to that person's face.

His hands were veiny, perfect, fair.

His eyes were the prettiest pair of eyes, his complexion was fairer, and his perfectly shaped nose, lips, his long eyelids.

i saw his eyes, I mean we made eye contact

and at that moment I knew I was cooked

His eyes were the color of warm earth after a summer rain, deep and rich. They had a way of pulling me in like they held secrets just beneath the surface.

Every time he looked at me, it felt like he was seeing straight through my defenses.

There was something steady, almost grounding about them, like home-safe, familiar, but with a hint of mystery.
