Just A Crush?

4. Tit For Tat

We left the mall facing the difficulty of controlling our laughter.

"Let's go to the park. It's nearby" Hiral suggested. I nodded in response and we wended our way to the park. My eyes fell on a garden of walloping size which was filled with laughter and cheers of kids. There were swings, slides, see saws and what not! There was also a toy train which gave an opportunity to travel through the entire garden. There were many fountains which seemed colourful due to different lights. The flowers were vibrant and vivid giving me pure bliss. There was also a two or three storey building like structure that gave an enticing and splendid view of the garden and the nearby area from the top. Laughter of the kids, chirping of the birds, beautiful sky decorated by the setting sun soothed and calmed me. It was amazing here. Hiral and I kept the shopping bags on a nearby bench and an old lady who was sitting there, reading a newspaper agreed to take care of them. Hiral and I ran to the swing which luckily was not occupied. The breeze was fiercely kissing my face and I was soaring high and high. Just then I saw a kid standing near the swing who I suppose was waiting for me to get down. I jumped off the swing as it's pace decreased. The kid smiled at me and I smiled back. Hiral also got down the swing and then we left the garden after taking our shopping bags.

We were sauntering around when Hiral's phone buzzed.

"hey, I received mumma's message. I need to buy some medicines and few other things from a medical store. You catch the auto while I get these few items", she notified me and went to the medical store which was right behind us. Just then my eyes caught something or I should say someone. He was having a chortle with a guy and was having a can of Mirinda in his hand. He had changed his clothes. Now, he was in a red T-shirt and had paired it with a parmesean yellow three-fourth. Even in such a simple attire he looked appealing. I was almost gawking at him when he turned in my direction. Our eyes met. He caught me looking at him. Oh God! Can it get more embarrassing? I am sure he will smirk or pass some remark but he smiled.

He smiled!

A simple, genuine smile!

I really can't get this boy. Just an hour or two ago, he was passing cocky remarks and was all set to insult me. But now, he is smiling. Why? Is he drunk or he is not a male and is right now experiencing monthly cramps. Surely....it's that. That's the only reason why he is getting such mood swings. Poor boy.

I looked at the place where he was standing but he had vanished!

Has he got an invisibility cloak or am I imagining things?

I again looked there but he was nowhere. Then I saw him crossing the road, coming in my direction. He had a sinister grin plastered on his face.

Surely, he is gonna do something fishy!

But then he went pass me, doing nothing. He did not even glance at me. Happy! I was purely happy. Meeting Vivaan twice a day is actually an over dose. I really wish to never meet him again. I waited for the dopey girl who still had not come from the store. I turned to look at the store and she indicated me a minute. I nodded and started taking in the surroundings. Just then I could feel something cool pouring down my left shoulder. I sniffed a very fruity smell and that cool substance tingled my skin. I realized what just happened with me. I was totally appalled. Only he can do something like this! Now, my anger can ever never be controlled. I turned around to face him and he was already giving me an intimidating stare. He had emptied his mirinda can on me!

"What the fuck is this Vivaan? How dare you do this? Do you have any personal enmity with me or do you want my attention?" The threatening words escaped my mouth.

"Attention! And that too yours! Never." He let out a low humourless chuckle and continued "I did exactly what you did with me in the mall. You spoiled my T-shirt and so did I do.... spoilt yours", he very calmly replied.

Hearing his words made my anger reach no bounds. "You are such a rebellious and insensible jerk! I unintentionally collided with you. It was never my intention to spoil your T-shirt. But you don't understand that. You made such a big issue of such a small thing and now you are creating a scene." I shooted.

"Have you seen yourself now? You have that smoke coming out from your ears. And your nostrils flare and widen when you speak in such a manner. They resemble nostrils of a cow.It seems that smoke is coming from your nostrils too.Your top is drained with the orange coloured liquid and you smell so fruity! You look no less than a cartoon or should I say NAAGIN ( snake )! So done.. I got you a new name... NAAGIN, he completed his rant and wiggled his brows in a roguish way. I very well knew why he called me Naagin. Such a hippy he is!

"You know what.. you are complete and pure evil. Your head is a gutter and you have straight a way come from gutter. Useless psychopath!" I fired my words at him while he smirked.

I really think he has some severe mental problem. I am insulting him and he is smirking! Surely his IQ might be -100. Loser.

I glowered and scowled at him and kind of said some incoherent words to him, mentally.

"Do you really think that your these angry, dangerous looks will scare the ass out of me and I will run away?" He asked arrogantly and calmly at the same time. He took a step closer to me and continued, "I am really sorry...even though you look like Annabelle, I am not scared of you, not even a bit", he smugly replied with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Just fuck off" I heard Hiral roar as she went pass me and pushed Vivaan hard.

"Whoa..dude..cool down", that's what Vivaan replied, amused by Hiral's action.

"You, son of a black stray dog,  just stay away from my friend..bloody moron", Hiral stormed at Vivaan and then grabbed my hand to leave from that place. We immediately took an auto and sat in it. Something in Hiral's carry bag caught my eyes. After looking at that clearly, I smirked at Hiral. Hiral quirked her eyebrows in confusion. Her eyes followed my line of vision. At first she gave me a questioning look and then she devilishly smiled, once she got what I was thinking.

"Uncle, can you please take a u-turn?" I requested the auto-driver. He nodded and did what he was told to. I saw him still standing there and by his side was some other guy, who I suppose was his friend. A big smirk crept on my face. I took the bottle out from Hiral's bag and got down the rickshaw. I asked uncle to halt the auto a bit distance ahead from where these guys were standing. I could see Vivaan's back facing me. I tiptoed in his direction. I opened the lid and squeezed shampoo on Vivaan's head. His hair got all soapy soapy. Now it was my turn to smirk. Now, he was mortified in front of all people on this busy road and yes, I was smirking. He was unable to comprehend what just happened to him.

"Tit for Tat", I smugly and loudly said wearing a devious smile on my face. I looked in his eyes and saw his Jupiter sized ego collapse. And that's when I decided to leave. Now he exactly felt, how I felt before. It was not a revenge. Infact, revenge is a very strong word. I just did this action to answer his actions back. I am sure he won't dare trouble any other girl next time.

"You will pay for this", he chided from behind.

"Ya sure" I replied and went back to the auto and saw Hiral's smiling face. As soon as I stepped inside the auto, I laughed out loud.

"We are super duper amazing", I chirped with excitement and did a hi-fi to Hiral
