Still she was confused over the situation and his disappearance. She suddenly got scared. As every Indian school her school was also entertained by ghost stories of a dead student and rumors related to it that could chill your spines if you were 15. "They say a ghost wonder in our school was he??" those rumors always gave her goosebumps and a real life experience would be beyond her courage to accept it. She was numb for a while, her hands went cold, her heartbeats increased drastically as if it was pumping blood for the last time and soon it would be dead too. "Nandita what's the matter with u" asked Divya "Why you are soo cold ?" she continued after that. "nothing" she hated to lie to her best friend but this was something she must be sure about before digging it up deeper.

As they entered in the class there was usual hustle like every morning class should be like but Nandita saw something and stood up like a statue. "YOU!!!!" she exclaimed but Divya stopped her "I think he is new here... do u know him?" Nandita nodded in disapproval. "Are you always going to act like this?" he asked. Nandita raised her eyebrows, she was surprised and relieved to see him alive . She again nodded to reply in the same way she did before. They both went back to their seats and all Nandita could do is to smile over her stupidity. The hustle went out gradually as the teacher tossed his register over the desk . Adults generally are not so active during morning specially those who had lost an argument with their partner . "Sir ji!!! how's your wife" one of the student asked by correctly guessing reason behind his grumpy face, the whole class burst out in laughter. He smiled back and replied " At least i have one" . Mr. Singh was one of the best teacher in their school and students loved him for his presence of mind.

Nandita on the other hand was eagerly waiting for class attendance her restless soul wanted to know his name. As Mr. Singh started, at every guy's name she looked at him. Soon there was a battle between Mr. Singh's voice and Nandita's eyes. They both noticed each other but Mr. Singh avoided it thinking it as a stupid prank. "Kundan" he yelled, "present sir" finally he replied. She heard that name for the first time. "His name is even cuter than him" she muttered. It seems like his parents made efforts to name him unlike mine. Why ??? couldn't they make efforts in naming their only child. Nandita... what kind of name is this... these were the names other's family would prefer to name their pet cows on. "Nandita.... Nandita" Mr. Singh yelled "p...p...present sir" Nandita getting over from her trauma replied .

"Kundan .....Nandita" She realized there was no one named after the alphabets L and M in her class . "I will sit behind him in tests and exams. Ah!!!! What a beautiful name I have ... Nandita...I know my parents cannot risk my name." she was on the seventh cloud. But was he even noticed her in the way she did? What he meant when he said "are u going to act like this always". What if he thinks I am a dumb girl with weird habits. Insecurities and self doubts jumped in Nandita's mind and now her only target was to talk to him.

Was she able to do it and impress Kundan to make him found her more than just a girl with weird habits? or there is something else hidden in between the lines
