UNPREDICTABLE

Chapter 21 - 20 Questions

*Darshan*

Well, Nish surprised Alina on her birthday, and now they are again back in their loving relationship. All I can do is stare at their growing love for each other. Nish is getting attached to her, and so Ali. I lost my best friend long back. But now, I don't have any plan to depart them. Because, I don't want them to get separated. They are really good with each other. I hold the pen in between my finger, and try to think other than them. I sat comfortably on chair, in the open space. Full of people. Yet no chose reaching to my ears.

"Meri Pehli Mohobbat hain voh.." I know this voice. I looked up, and Niko was towering me, peeping in my book. My heart just stopped, and looked at her innocent eyes. I closed the book. And she laughed, sitting on chair in front of me. Actually I was waiting for her to pop up. I am early today, for the once. She stretched her leg, under the table, touching my bare foot. I was sitting removing my shoes.

"Why didn't you mentioned about Alina?" She asked frowning. Simultaneously unzipping her bag, keeping the books on the table.

"What?" I asked her being confused

"I mean, those lines." She said tapping on my book.
She zip her bag, keeping it down.

"Its not for Ali." I told her truthfully. But she laughed.

"Then for me?" She asked mischievously.

"Yup." I played along.

"Oh, how lucky that you remember me in your lines." She said, as waiter approached us.

"Your order." She kept, and left us both.

"Impressive." She said licking her lips.

"Itna toh kar hi skta hu." I winked at her.

"You know, you are already doing so much for me, I mean by teaching." She clarified.

"I want to be a proud boyfriend too." I laughed.

"Ha ha ha." She sarcastically laughed.

That's thing about her, she actually don't enjoy, me relating to her. She will just keep the secure distance between us. Not only physically, but emotionally and mentally too. Don't know why? But I wanna know her! She is a mystery.

"You are not planning anything against Nish and Alina, those two should be separated by now, we will be ending this year soon." She said. And started to eat her meal. Without even asking me.

" Bhukkad!" I teased.

The specs slide down from her nose, and she frustratedly, push it a little. The small tendril of hairs were touching her, her lips pressed tightly, her forehead was having lines, eyebrows were knitted, and over all, she was so focused, to solve the problem. I silently took her picture.

"Done." She said looking up at me, and I quickly hide the phone, surely my face was pale, and I blinked, gulping my own saliva.

"I have solved it." She said, sliding the book towards me. Her smile was so genuine. She stretched her hands, yawning. So unladylike.

"Now you are all ready for your exam." I said.

"Guess so." She rubbed her eyes. Pure innocence.

"Darshan, now, let's speak of something else. I am bored with this schedule now." She said, clasping her hand on the table.

"Like what you want?" I asked. Closing the book, and sliding it toward her.

"Let's play 20 question." She said. Suggestively.
