MY HIDDEN LOVE

~They Meet Again~

"To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves."
― Federico García Lorca 

"Ten years and I am back to place where I had left my heart Mumbai . It was the place where everything had started , where I met my first love , where the fire of desire was ignited in my heart but could never be soothed by that person . Because I know he would never love me back " , the train of thoughts were broken by the air hostess .

"Ma'am would you like to have something ?" , asked the air hostess politely offering some snacks  which Annika timorously declined .

Annika looked at her diary in which she was jotting her years of love , feeling and desire for the man who was devil to the world but to her a sweet boy who treated her undeniably different from other girls .

14 years back  

"Good Morning , miss " , the teacher was greeted by the students of class 9 who beyond a doubt looked kids of India's richest families . Today along with her came a girl with doe shaped hazelnut coloured eyes which looked screamed innocence , she was fidgeting with her fingers too nervous to face the class . She even had a low ponytail with some strands of her hair coming out making her look cute . 

"Good Morning , students . Let me introduce you the new student of our class Annika . Annika why don't you say few words to your classmates" , the teacher asked Annika to do so .  

While the introduced her to the class her eyes met with a deep blue ocean eyes , never in her life she had seen this beautiful eyes . Those eyes made her heart skip a beat , she experienced such kind of sensation for the first time ever .

Maybe the boy's face was expressionless but his eyes were screaming  emotions of curiosity . Curiosity about the girl who had just come to his class but able to capture his attention out of all girls in his life except for his family's woman . She is beautiful was his first thought after when he saw her . But he shifted his attention towards his work acting to pay no attention to the girl . 

"He is handsome", Annika thought after she shifted her eyes to his face . Her trance was broken with her teacher's voice . Right she has to introduce herself . 

"Hi everyone , my name is Annika nice to meet you all . I hope to get along with you all ." , Annika wanted to keep it short as much as possible as she was already a lot nervous to say something . 

The teacher asked the class to clap , well there were variations some were nonchalant as they were kept at gunpoint , some were actually excited , while some bratty girls had their attitude to keep them from clapping and then there was this blue eyes boy who did no bother to look up as he was too immersed in his world . 

"Annika , you sit beside Shivaay " , came the suggestion from the teacher and the class was already hauling as if she got a chance to sit with Hritik Roshan . Shivaay's head had shot up and went down immediately because of embarrassment . He again immersed himself in his work.

"Shivaay it is indeed a beautiful name " , Annika thought . As told Annika moved towards the seat looking at his broad back . 

Annika made some sound while moving the chair to receive some reaction from Shivaay . Well he did react but it was too small of a reacted , he just looked at her . "What a weird boy he is" , Annika thought . 

"Hi , Annika " , Annika forwarded her hand towards Shivaay but to her surprise he just replied with a small hi . "He does no gel up easily I think " , Shivaay's introvert type behaviour made her think so . 

Annika herself was an introvert but if someone greeted she would reply back with full energy not as coldly as him . She thought of him as an extreme introvert .
