The Heart Thief♥

♥ CHAPTER 3 ♥

' Oh no, Mahir!! What have you done Bro? You just came to school and messed with Bela..' Vikrant said as he figured out that the girl Mahir was talking about was Bela.
' It's okay Buddy. I mean, she won't kill me right.' Said Mahir trying to act cool but the fact was that he himself was terrified after seeing Bela!!

Although when he first saw Bela, he was lost in her beautiful face. Her eyes covered behind the spectacles were unable to hide the pain from him that she was going through. But the way she talked to him was enough for him as a warning sign..!

During recess, the group, including Mahir, occupied the last benches to have breakfast. Vish said, ' Bela, meet Mahir, the new member of our group.'
' Of course, he introduced himself to me when we were 'hanging out' in the corridor. ' Said Bela sarcastically.

Vikrant had already informed Vish about the incident. Vish understood the situation and said, 'Guys let's continue with our breakfast. Bela why are you not eating? I mean, you really love food, right.'
Bela said, ' Vish, I am in no mood to eat.' Piya said, ' Bela, my Mom has specially made these stuffed parathas for you. Remember, she learnt this recipe from your grandma? '

Hearing about her Grandma, Bela was nostalgic. She remembered when she was a kid her Grandma used to feed her with a lot of love and affection. She wanted to cry her heart out but she believed that crying is not the trait of a strong person. She composed herself and said, ' I'll just come in a while. '

Bela was standing in the corner of the corridor trying not to cry. Suddenly she heard someone saying, ' You can cry. Your heart cannot store everything inside it.' She turned and saw Mahir standing behind her. ' I don't need your advice. ', said Bela coldly.
'Yeah, sure. But I won't tell anyone if you cry, I swear. ', said Mahir pinching his neck a bit with his right hand.
Bela glared at him.

' By the way, Bela, umm, what I was thinking, let's have a fresh start. What say?', asked Mahir with a hope.
Bela nodded her head slightly and went away.

Next day.
Bela and Vish were carefully studying while Mahir and Vikrant were mocking at the teacher. Two periods ended like this.
The third period was free. Many students went to play outdoor.
Piya asked, ' What should we do, Guys? Bela said, ' Let's practice accountancy. '
Vish said, ' oh no, Bela. We have studied enough for the day. Now we'll play something. Even you've to play. Please don't deny.'
Bela agreed, ' okay fine. But we won't go outside the classroom. '
Abhay said, ' okay then let's play something inside the classroom only.'
'But what? ', asked Vyom.
Juhi suggested, ' What about TRUTH AND DARE?'
Mukti said, ' Cool. But let's change some rules. We won't spin the bottle. Instead we all will recite numbers 1 to 21 in a sequence. Each person can speak minimum 1 number and maximum 3 number. If Number 21 comes on anyone then he/she has to bear the truth/dare given by anyone from this group. Agree?'
'Perfect !', said Vikrant.
'So, let's begin the game.', said Mahir.

The game began. First time number 21 came on Mukti. She chose dare.
' Okay. So who is giving me dare?', said Mukti excitedly.
Piya replied, ' I dare you to perform BHARATNATIYAM at the main stage of our class. '
Mukti asked, ' Heyyy you're joking, right?
' I am damn serious.', Piya grinned.
Mukti said, ' okay fine. '
Mukti performed Bharathanatiyam in a really comical manner.
All were laughing seeing her.

Vikrant said, ' Let's continue with the game.'
They continued and this time number 21 came on Bela!!
