As Nandita with her full determination and hope was ready to talk to him. But about what?? She must choose a nice topic to overcome her previous stupidity. "What should I talk about?" she was in her deep thoughts while going back home. The same bus with same friends but today Nandita was in different zone. "what's the matter with you ?" asked Divya. "Nothing much" she replied and again she went into her deep thoughts. That afternoon was different for her. She gazed outside the window saw every shop, begging children, other school's students, the sun was high in the sky and the warmth  of breeze touched her skin like it wanted to talk. She wanted to absorb all things at a time to find answers for her puzzled mind. She looked at everyone with a hope to find a reason behind all these. But failed as she find questions in every eyes.

First she thought of " cricket ...yes that's a very good topic to talk about. Every guy loves it. But what if we have a deep conversation and I get slipped away. I end up being stupid again". She pushed her thoughts a little more "Papa loves to talk about politics. What if he is interested in it too or may be not. And as it's a burning topic of our nation I may disappoint him on my reviews" she got frustrated "What the hell can't I get a single point to talk about??" she sighed

She decided not to come on any conclusion by her own. She wanted to observe him in order to find a topic which he finds attractive more. The next day her only mission was him. She looked at him again and again to find something new. Weeks passes by and soon her curiosity faded away. She found it satisfying to see the way he talked, the way he laughed, the way he told everyone about his naughty childhood. She thought "can't we stay like this. I love to see him, I love the way when our eyes meet and I get butterflies in my stomach. Do I really have to be smart to attract him. Can't I just stay his stupid Nandita. I talk to him everyday thinking of exchanging words over our romantic scenarios in my own head. I don't want to face the reality when in my mind he is already mine. Sitting behind him in all exams, smelling his cologne is my favorite  job. Is physical interaction necessary can't I create my own abstract heaven? Can't we stay like this forever?"

" I can't count the number of times we talked. When he hold my hand beside a river under the moon while we walk. I don't want to ruin the world we have. I better live in my dreams until I find the same magic in his eyes." Days , weeks we can say years passes by to create her own heaven.

And suddenly Kundan started missing school

And suddenly Kundan started missing school. He was continuously absent for many days. Soon Nandita was worried about him as this never happened before. She wanted to ask with his friends but if they found about her feelings it would be a total mess. She decided to keep her mouth shut and as soon as he would come she would talk to him first.

Was Nandita able to talk to Kundan or she would again save her abstract heaven from unknown hidden reality???
