My Beginning, End & Ever After

13. Shorts pehenta hai?

NEXT DAY

After having lunch, all 4 of them came back to the classroom. A test was going to be held after lunch, and the girls being the studious ones, decided to study. While Sidharth and Tanishq decided to play cricket along with other boys in the class. In this game, a copy was used for batting and a crumbled paper is used as ball. Sidharth went to bat first and Shehnaaz was staring at him. This was noticed by Harpreet and she thought it was the perfect time to make her realize. A boy, Manav, chose to bowl. 

'Aur hamare gareebon ke Bhuvaneshwar Kumar ne daali pehli ball, Sid ne maara shot jo gira seedha last bench pe aur 6 run!' Some guy became the commentator.

"Woah Sid! What a shot!" Tanya said in a flirtatious way. 

Shehnaaz face expressions changed hearing this. "Aayi badi, 'what a shot' " She mimicked her. Harpreet giggled. 

'Aur yahan pehli ball par pitne ke bawjood gareebon ke Bhuvaneshwar Kumar ne daali 2nd ball, Sid ne balla, I mean copy ghumai aur ball padi seedha Tanya ke sar pe.'

Shehnaaz laughed loudly seeing this while Sidharth smirked. Everyone else also started laughing. Tanya left the place after feeling insulted.

(Shehnaaz's POV)

I was laughing like a maniac because I knew that Sidharth did it intentionally. Achhi padi isse, zyada hi uchak rahi thi kutti.

"Tujhe kyu itni hasi aa rahi hai?" Harpreet interrupted.

"Arre tune dekha nahi kitna uchhal rahi thi, achhi padi isko." I managed to say in between my laughter.

"Tu jealous hai na?" She asked. I thought she was kidding, but then I looked at her face and she was dead serious.

"Kis baat se jealous?"

"Sid pe line maar rahi hai isliye, haina?"

"Par achhi baat hai Sidharth toh use bhav bhi nahi de raha." I realized what I just said in flow. "Kya matlab hai tera, Sidharth pe line maarne se mein kyu jealous feel karungi?" I tried to cover up but it was quite obvious from her face that she didn't buy it.

"Tu poori duniya se chhupa sakti hai, par mujhse nahi, 8 saal se best friend hu teri." She said proudly.

"Aur mein kya chhupa rahi hu mujhe hi nahi pata. Matlab kya hai tera clear bol clear." Last line se Phir Hera Pheri ka totla tiwari yaad aa gaya 'Tiliyal bol tiliyal' HAHAHHA. 

"You like him." She said. No, she stated.

"Ye puchh rahi hai ya bata rahi hai?"

"Bata rahi hu and you can't deny it. Teri aankhon me uske liye pyaar jhalakta hai." She said

"Aisa kuch nahi hai, sab tera delusion hai." I tried to say sternly, but didn't help much. Aaj isne suddenly ye baat kyu nikali, kuch toh gadbad hai. Par kya iss baat me sacchai hai?

"Tujhe kya lagta hai, Sid ki koi girlfriend hogi?"

"Pagal hai kya, I am 100% sure nahi hogi." I said with utmost confidence. Even I didn't know why I was so sure.

Harpreet smiled like every best friend does while teasing you "Tu itni sure kaise hai, ladkiyan marti hai uspar."

"Toh kya hua, wo toh unki taraf dekhta bhi nahi hai." I smiled proudly. I was unaware why I had so much confidence while speaking on this matter.

"Teri shakal dikha rahi hai ki tu usse pyaar karti hai. Maine tujhe aisa kabhi nahi dekha. Achha bata, teri 'THE PERFECT GUY' wali list kahan hai?"

I took the list out from my bag. I always keep it with me. I created this list in class 7th when Harpreet started dating Tanishq. Apne ko bhi prepare rehna tha, koi ladka pasand aa jaye toh? Usko check karne ke liye yeh zaruri tha.
