Is he the one?

20) Malai ka Katora

She glanced at it once again. She wasn't able to understand what kind of feeling she was experiencing. She scrolled down and it went on. She followed that page and kept the phone in a thud and lied down on the bed in a huff.

"Itni oil? My note will be full of oil, if you apply this much of oil." She stood up seeing the oil in bua's hand.

"Your hair is long and thick because of this oil only. Sit. I need to apply."

"No!" She whined.

"Sit!" Hearing the order she immediately sat down. She could feel the oil flowing on her scalp. Even though she didn't like it, she loves that feeling of coldness on her scalp. She closed her eyes to feel it.

"Turn!" She opened her eyes and turned to the right side. Bua braided her hair. When it came to the end, she braided it with a ribbon and folded it. She tied the ribbon at the top balancing the hair. Naina was watching this intently thinking how bua ji alone have that technique of braiding so fast and neat. During the whole hairdressing process, bua advised naina to be extra careful and studious as she was studying 12th. For which she only received a 'Hmm...' from the other side.

"Finished." Hearing bua's voice, naina pulled the plaits to check if it is strong enough to be for the whole day.

"I am going to get punishment today too. You are gonna help me."

"I will!" Munna's voice echoed confidently. Pandit who was munching his samosa intently stared towards munna raising his eyebrows.

"Arey bhai! Why are you so excited in getting punishment?"

"Point yaar!" Sameer put his hand around pandit's neck mentioning he was in pandit's side. Munna rolled his eyes and his brain was pondering to reveal it or not. Finally coming to a resolution, he opened his mouth to speak but was disturbed by the bell. As everyone scrambled towards their places seeing the teacher's entry, munna too joined them.

After they all sang 'Good Morning Mam', she started her work. As planned, munna and sameer was constantly talking. But the topic sameer was discussing with munna is quite difficult for munna. Sameer was asking him to tell the truth. Even after munna told him that he will tell in the evening, sameer was not ready to leave him.

The teacher shouted at them. Munna's eyes brightened in relief. He was the first person to stand up even though teacher shouted at sameer. As expected, the same punishment was given. The thing is munna was so excited and this not unnoticed by sameer.

He couldn't understand why she is behaving like this. He sent her many paper but all returned in a teared state. Again he gave her, she tore it and returned it back.

"Why are tearing it without even reading?" The reply was, those eyes which were fixated on the board looked at him through it's corner and went back. He was so irritated and decided to concentrate on the class which is almost impossible. But he tried.

She grabbed her one plait in her hand and rubbed it on the paper.

"See. It is making oil traces. This why I told bua ji in morning...." She muttered to herself.

Sameer, who was in thinking nothing but just staring at the teacher's face blankly and bobbing his head whenever she looked at him turned his face towards left side just to saw her speaking to herself. He couldn't help himself from chortling. Her eyebrows furrowed seeing him chuckling for no reason. Seeing her noticing him, he drifted his attention towards the teacher.

That class went almost well but made sameer confused with naina's behaviour. He scratched his head in confusion and returned to his place.

She bit her nail in frustration and looked at them again through the corner of her eyes.

"Naina!" She raised her eyebrows at swati. "Do you need nail cutter?"

"Kya?" She frowned at swati's recent query.

"You were biting your nail. So only I asked."

"Thank you so much for your concern. But I don't need idiot."

"You are very bad."

"I know that. Now concentrate on your work of scribbling."

"I don't scribble."

"You do dear. Just see your note." Swati turned her face away in a huff and naina chuckled. She tried her hard to listen the class but every now and then her eyes was travelling to that side, where he was sitting.

He tried again to sit with naina. But the teacher asked him sit near kamya upsetting both sameer and munna. Naina smiled in victory but now she was regretting it. If it happened before the visit to instagram, sameer would be saved. But after that, he can't be saved from naina at any cost.

She know. He was talking to kamya in a normal manner only. But her heart was again and again travelling to that list. Kamya's name was also there which made her even more restless. Adding fuel to the fire, poor sameer guffawed on a passed by kamya. She again tried to ignore it but her heart which is thumping hard now was not letting her.

♡●♡●♡

"Naina!" He called her again but she left that place like a deaf. He was irritated more. Kamya went upto him and started a conversation.

"I'm not in a mood." He muttered and turned to leave.

"Bu..."

"I am not in a mood to talk to you! Won't you understand?!" He screamed and left the place.

♡●♡●♡

"Naina!" Seeing her again acting like a deaf, he pulled her wrist and took her to a corner.

"Leave me sameer. I need to go home." She twisted her hand trying to release herself. His grip tightened as he answered. "Only if you behave well with me."

"What should I do?"

"Tell me why are you behaving weirdly? Are you angry with me?"

"You know the answer, then why are you asking?"

"Then tell me why are you angry?"

"......."

"Bolo na!"

"I won't."

"Why?"

"You ask your gadget." She touched his chest with her index finger. He felt the hairs on his body raising and standing straight. She felt a shiver running down her spine with the sudden interaction,

He left her wrist and she took her finger away.

"I-i--i a-am s--s...." She left the sentence incomplete and ran away. He touched the place where she touched and pretended to fall down. Naina turned back and saw this. She chuckled and a red tint adorned her cheeks. She left the place. But still her red nose is a nose only.
