Dream and Dear

Part 4 - No Love Just a Crush

" Wanna have ? " Sana asked while pulling a silk chocolate to Ayushi while walking around the circumference of the ground , " OMGGGGGGGG...... gimme na " Ayushi said while jumping in joy , Sana teased her that she will eat all alone and Ayushi got irritated , " You're taking revenge na " Ayushi asked while making puppy face .

Sana brows narrowed " What ? " she asked , " You such an idiot " Sana said and give her frown expression .

" Come on what's wrong with you , you liked him earlier he refused and now he likes you but then why you are holding back yourself Sana " Ayushi helds her hand .

" Who told you I am thinking about him " Sana said in wrath .

Ayushi apologize , she sensed that Sana was hurt , she made up her mind that she will never start Himanshu's topic again to her . She turn around and saw that the senior most classes were in ground too , she looked at Sana who was still upset , she grabs her hand and pretext her that she is thirsty , Sana nodded and they both went to water cooler . Ayushi opens the tap and drank the water , she turned to Sana , who was still lost in her own thoughts and breaking her daydream she asked whether she was thirsty or not . " Babes , I need to wash my face that's it " Sana said faking that she was feeling hot in ground . Ayushi calmly watched her , Sana splashed water on her face and again wipes the drops from her palm , Ayushi felt sorry for her . Almost a year was over but still the old memories haunts her , Ayushi pierced her nail into her hand because she thought she was the sole reason for her gloomy mood .

A year ago –

" Parth don't you think Sana Himanshu look good together " Ayushi asked her beau .

" Yes , but I am unsure about him , as he has recently joined school .. we don't know anything about him ... I am really not sure whether he deserves Sana .. look Sana is such a pure soul but we are really clueless about him . "Parth said in a tensed tone .

Sana have had always been a girl who never liked to get into relationship but she utmost respect love and lovers . Her perspective about love is different from other couples and people . For her , it is a purest feeling which need to be shared with a pure heart who won't hurt her or any people back , because she believes once a heart is broken it cannot be the same , pieces and scratches are the most horrifying reflection of love which one's ignore as love is so full of light . Thus , she always stops her heart falling for someone because no one fits into her definition of love .

Ayushi and Parth collects every possible from their friends and decided at least Sana and Himanshu can be friends , but destiny had other plans for them .

It was recess in school , Ayushi and Parth walked to the Sana and told her that someone wants to meet her , she shrugged her shoulder and wiped her hands in handkerchief . " Kon Hai ? "Sana asked while keeping her water bottle on the desk . " Why don't you go and see yourself " Parth said and winked . " Cool ... "Sana replied throwing her hands up in the air .

Ayushi and Parth watched her walking out the class in her tomboy manner , Sana passed few smiles to her other classmates and was humming " Tick Tock " song . In a quizzical manner she looked from left to right but she didn't finds anybody , she turned to her class and shouts on Parth and Ayushi " Argh... are you guys stupid or you want some privacy ? " .

" Sana ... " someone calls her name out .

The moment she heard that familiar voice , her heart starts beating like a thunder , her cheeks and ears had had turned red , she felt her hands were too warm . She exhale in nervousness and turned .

" Hey Himanshu " Sana spoke while looking into his eyes .

" Listen i know that you like me but.... " Himanshu said and paused .

" But you don't have to say anything I know you don't like me and I am sorry that my friends troubled you " Sana replied in low voice and later she adds that she knows he is dating Tanisha , he was taken aback hearing this but before he could apologize she already had left the place .

Present –

" Why you didn't scream as us that day ? "Ayushi asked and hugged her .

" Because I know you both were and are concerned about me " Sana said and smiled .

Both started moving to the ground but then they heard footsteps behind , their eyes popped out ; it was Himanshu , who was following them . He calls out Sana's name , her foot froze on the ground , she avoided making any eye contact with him but she can't even do that for so long .

" I have just come here to tell you something Sana .. you need to know please " Himanshu begged .

" OHH.... Please we know there's NO LOVE JUST A CRUSH .. better you leave her yaar " Ayushi shut his mouth and they marched to the ground .

Stay tuned for the next part .
