[44] Anxious

"Woah, what happened to her?"

Aditi glanced at Sakshi, silently asking her if she should tell Aarush what happened last night. But giving her no reaction, Sakshi looked away and sat on her seat quietly.

Aarush taking the chance, sat beside Aditi, asking her again.

"I will tell you, later." She told him.

Aarush twitched his lips as the professor had already arrived and he couldn't afford talking and thrown out early morning by Mr. Kabir. But he won't deny, how in worry his mind wasn't working. He didn't know with in a night, what could go wrong with Sakshi.

Her eyes were bloodshot and tired, there were bags under them. She looked sick and unhappy.

On top of that, Mr. Kabir teaching actively as if nothing was more important than learning his subject today, was annoying. Aarush didn't want to concentrate and think more about possibilities of why Sakshi was sad. But Mr. Nair had planned to lull him greatly by his booming voice.

Between the lecture, the professor's eyes fell upon Sakshi and Aarush couldn't help but look at her immediately. With narrowed eyes, he observed how she was looking down at her notes and quietly writing what the professor was saying.

He looked back at the professor, perfectly noticing the curiousity in his eyes. A smile curved Aarush's lips as he thought, if this guy was that interested in Sakshi's life, did he play a good stalker and found out about who the guy was last day that Sakshi was hugging, burning the professor's ass.

From which, a sudden of glimpse of Ronnie Shekhawat being angry at them, flashed in his mind. Aarush thought deeply, could he be jealous of that guy? But why would he be? He never liked Sakshi that much. He just wanted to molest her two times. This wasn't something backed by feelings.

But Shrey was such a handsome guy too. Watching him hugging Sakshi wasn't a pleasant sight for all those who had crushes on her. Many dreams must have been crushed, he knew and smiled to himself. He was happy that the professor got to know his place and might get a hint that he had no place in her life. Same goes with Ronnie.

But Shrey. . .

Oh God, was it something related to Shrey that Sakshi looked like this today? Aarush looked back at her and observed her. Her hand on her notes and other on her cheek as if wanting to hide her face. Her eyes were down because she was scared to show her emotions.

She was affected.

It was Shrey, he understood. But what could go wrong within one night? For all he knew, they were spending quite the luxury time together in the fort. Sakshi was happy for him, and he was happy to be with her.

Aarush felt like his stomach was flipping from such suspense. God, how could someone wait for the two hours to get over. His ass had started to ache from sitting flat and ignoring Mr. Kabir who would smirk here and there at nerdy girls, telling the class he had his charms set.

Rolling his eyes, Aarush opened his notebook and started making notes, finally giving in to the moment to distract himself. Or he would die out of utter suspense.

The lecture was over finally but Mr. Nair wanted to own this classroom. Aarush gritted his teeth when he didn't move from the table and kept staring at Sakshi, watching her stepping down the stairs slowly.

His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion at seeing her behavior today. "Miss Rathore?"

Aarush could swear, he wanted to strangle the guy. Before anyone, he had the right to know what was wrong with his best friend.
