The teacher had come, only to announce about the quarterly picnic. Shivaay, smiled widely, upon hearing it, as this time, anika would accompanying him.

While, anika was in her own zone, thinking about every possible irrational thing- she'd be alone there, shivaay would get busy with his friends, what will she do there? How will she pass time? Should she take a leave?
Taking a leave seemed the best option to her, on the picnic, lest she'll be alone, and sad.

After the period, shivaay came to her, clearly visible that he was happy, and asked her about her plans for the picnic. She looked up, but remained taciturn. She was nervous, too, because everytime shivaay was near her,she used to feel some jiggly feeling in her stomach, her heart doing a somersault! He, indeed was special for her, more than anybody has ever been! But, she thought that she would appear nosy, if she continues to depend on him, everywhere. He too, needs his personal space, after all!

After getting no response from her, which saddened him, he questioned her, his face losing the bright smile, very quick. She, gasped, sensing that he's upset. She confessed that she didn't feel like going there and and she'd be bored and  would feel alone there.

Upset after this, he left quietly. Did she not consider him as her friend? Why would she be alone, when he'll be there with her? Did she not like his company? Did she not like him, the way he likes her? Is he expecting too much?
Such thoughts, soon occupied his mind, and he soon, was drifting in the world of deep thoughts.

The school was over, but his mind's thoughts weren't. He, after scrutinising himself, after a week, had realised that he liked her. Yes, he did! She was special for him, more than a friend.
