Safar...A Journey of First Love

Chapter 7 - The Meeting

...Riddhima sat in the school library on a the last day of school for the week, just before lunch she had a free period and she spent her time on the computer as she waited for her friends lesson to end so that they could go to the mall together. She continued to type away at the keyboard with a smile on her face completely ignoring the person sitting next to her.

"Ms. Not Interested...whatchya doing?" he asked; she continued to ignore him; but he wasn't going to give up, today he was in the mood to totally wind her up; he had been trying for the past forty-five minutes but she was trying he best to blank him out until he started reading what she was typing; "...I'm really missing you...wish you were here with me...why did you have to lea..."

She quickly swung her monitor in the opposite direction and rounded on him; "How dare you read my personal stuff?" she shouted at him and received a deadly look from the librarian.

"Well I asked you what you were doing and you didn't answer me so I decided to check for myself..." he smirked; "...are you talking to your boyfriend?"

"Yes I am...do you have a problem...?" she said through gritted teeth.

"Ooohhh...interesting...what kind of relationship is this...long distance...?" he teased and she fumed.

Riddhima frowned; "It's none of your business..."

He ignored her comment and continued; "Are you sure you're okay in your head...I mean...are you sure you're having a long distance relationship with this guy or are you just making it up so you think you're normal..." he grinned widely.

"Will you just shut up..." she was annoyed with the accusation being laid on her but continued to type away with the monitor facing away from Armaan.

"So tell me...does your other boyfriend know that you're having a long distance relationship?" he asked; every time emphasizing on the phrase 'long distance'.

"What's it to you?" she fumed.

"Just wondering...if there is someone then tell me his name..." Armaan challenged.

She quickly sent off the email and turned to him angrily; "His name is Am-" suddenly she felt a hard hand on her shoulder and she shifted around to see who it was, she quickly forced a smile onto her face but on the inside she groaned.

"What's going on here?" Vivik asked eyeing Armaan suspiciously.

"Nothing Vivik..." she quickly logged off of her computer and packed her stuff away.

Vivik rounded up to Armaan who had also logged off of his computer and stood up; "Was he bothering you?" he asked Riddhima.

"Leave it Vivik..." she stood up.

Vivik held her hand and she cringed; "Okay if you say so..." then he turned to Armaan angrily; "...you better not mess around with her...do you hear me?"

"I don't need to answer to you..." Armaan stated calmly.

"Did you want something...?" Riddhima tried to ease the situation.

"No...I just saw you and I came over...but what are you doing here...?"

"We had a free lesson...and we were waiting for the others..." she told him.

"Let's go have lunch together..." he offered as they walked out of the library and Armaan followed keeping an eye on them.

She turned to him apologetically; "Actually Vivik I'm going out with my friends...we're going to the mall...our lessons are finished for the day..."
