Her Secret Smile

9.

"You are too effective to affect me!"

"Rosh, answer for the fifth one mark," Nidhi whispered from the front consciously without caught in the hands of their professor who is checking his phone.

"Its option 2 and answer for the seventh one mark," she asked and Nidhi showed four fingers indicating the answer is the fourth option.

It was their last exam of second internals, there is only twenty days left  for their semester exam to start.

"Time is up, submit your papers," their professor commanded and Roshini started writing in a jet fast. She gave the paper after everyone left, her professor glared at her for making him wait but Roshini didn't care about him and walked out with a smile.

Nidhi was all ready to leave and was little excited to meet Varun who is coming here to pick her for their movie date. She is too excited and at the same time very nervous. But this is their first time going for a movie.

"Hey Roshan, he is on the way to here. Come with me I will introduce Varun to you," Nidhi's sudden idea stopped Roshini.

"What? No no, it is ok. You go and enjoy with your lawyer, I have to return the books in the library," she backed off.

Suddenly Nidhi's phone buzzed, she took out and saw the message from Varun.

I will be late around half an hour I think. So wait for me, I will be there soon💟💕💕💕💕

Reading the message Nidhi showed clearly her disappointment on her face that Roshini can easily understand.

"He will be late, go and return your books and I will wait for you," she muttered.

"No it ok I will return that later, but for now you have to tell the rest of your love story," Roshini grinned.

After comfortably sitting in their places, Nidhi started to blush. She didn't expect that Roshini will be this curious to know about her love.

"Roshini stop looking at me like that," she whined and Roshini shrugged her shoulders like what I did.

"Where I stopped the story?"

"That rainy day meeting, till that only you told," she recalled.

"Umm... After that Rainy day, I didn't see him and to say a truth I recalled that incident again and again. Unknowingly I myself developed a strong curiosity to know more about him. But since I know it is not a moral thing so I cut those thoughts away and prepared myself for the college.

My parents were little disappointed in me that time for taking engineering, they wanted me to do MBBS. But I know if I did then they have to pay a lot for my studies. I considered it will be a pressure for them and I am not interested to be a doctor. All these things really hurt and confused me whether I did a mistake."

"Then after joining here I forget those thoughts and concentrated to do what I am having in my hands than the one that I missed.

One day my mom asked me to give the Payasam(Kheer) that I prepared for my dad's birthday to Varun's family. I first hesitated then hoping that he won't be in the home I went there. You would have seen his house that big one opposite to mine,"

"Yeah that house, I know," Roshini confirmed.

"I went there casually and pressed the calling bell. Suddenly the door opened to reveal him. He looked me like he doesn't know me, that interrogating look he had that time really embarrassed me. I awkwardly stood there with the cup like an idiot."

Roshini chuckled hearing that, "Hey it is so funny to imagine you," she teased.

"Yeah but Varun understanding me, called his mom and went in leaving me in front of their house. I felt even irritated by his gesture of treating me, I thought he doesn't have any manners but later he proved that he is different from anyone that I have seen. His mom came and welcomed me in. She asked about who prepared the Payasam after tasting that. She is little surprised to know my answer.
