CHAPTER 27

|NAINA|

That's it, I'm fucking done with being kept in the dark. I asked Isha and Neena a million times if they knew anything about this but as usual they didn't even budge for a second. All they blabbered was. "Just chill Naina! He will be back soon enough then you can talk to him. Why are you so anxious?" My ears are literally bleeding listening to the same shit again and again. Over and over in a day.

On top of that they didn't let me contact Annie and Indu. Both my friends had deleted her number from my phone. Like what the fuck is going on? Do they not realize that, if I'm in the dark it's making me even more anxious!!!! Fuck this shit. I'm going to the bakery today. It's almost been more than a week now to be precise it's been 8 days!!!

I don't want to deny what I feel for Viraj anymore. I know it's too soon but I do hope in my case 'only fools rush in' crap is not true. It's 4 in the evening and I have to take some classes. Isha and Neena were already conducting their sessions. I went to Sister Brenda's office and knocked on on her door.

She looked at my anxious face with a frown and gestured me to come inside. "What happened my child? Why do you look so worried? Come on sit down, tell me." I just want to inform her as soon as possible and leave. This whole thing is driving me crazy! I just want to know if he is okay. Damnit! Even a single letter reply would be enough for me.

I nodded my head and sat down on the chair that was right in front of her desk. She gave me a glass of water telling me to drink. "Ma'am is it okay if I don't take any classes today? I need to go somewhere. I promise to e back as soon as possible. I just umm need to meet a friend and make sure he's fine." Sister Brenda scrutinized my face I tried to control my restlessness as much as I could but I still felt anxious.

She smiled at me with a glint in her eyes and moved her head. "Okay Naina you can go I'll tell someone else to take your classes today. Don't worry about that although the kids do love your class so it might be hard to console them. Nothing I can't handle, please be safe and call me if you need anything else. You may leave."

I thanked her and moved out of the office just then she mentioned something that shocked me. "Let Viraj know that I want to meet him as soon as possible. I have to give him his birthday gift." I turned to face her with my eyes wide open. "Umm I don't know what you're talking about I'm going to meet someone else ma'am." I laughed nervously. How does she know? Does that mean he's in town? Oh my god I'm so going to kill him. Viraj just wait you're going to face my wrath.

"Whatever suits you Naina but just be careful." With that Sister Brenda waved her hands with again a glint in her eyes and gestured me to hurry up. Oh my god he's so going to be trouble. I'm going to go and meet Annie first. How does Sister Brenda know about his whereabouts? I shook my head not the time I'll ask him later. I booked a cab to go to Annie's bakery cause I don't know where else to go. 

My legs were still bouncing and my palms were sweating because of my stupid overthinking brain. I sighed and relaxed trying to calm my breathing. I closed my eyes, within  half an hour we reached the place. I paid the cab driver thanking him and he smiled at me. I raced up the stairs and opened the bakery door a gush of cool air hit my body sending shivers. Stupid AC I'm so grateful that I wore a jacket.

Annie was smiling behind the counter and talking to a customer. The barkey was busy looks, like her business has finally kick started. I scanned the whole bakery my eyes caught something. Viraj was sitting there on a table talking to Arjun and Neel about something with a very serious expression on his face. He looked so handsome, I snapped out revier reminding myself that I'm angry with him.
