Let's keep it simple

part 17

The first sun ray got scattered in the sky.
Breaking of dawn is always beautiful
But today it felt to her like this is not just the dawn of new day
But dawn of her new life

She was up all night
Thinking about him , then thinking about him some more.
Relieving past memories with him from different perspective
Analysing his every word and action in new light ...

And the kiss....
That's something she will never forget
She kissed her rajveer sir last night
A smile danced on her lips thinking about him
It's perfect
She felt perfect
It makes sense now
Everything is making sense now.

His dedication for her
His commitment for her

She felt a tingling sensation through her veins..
Thinking about him in a romantic way.
It's a thought that is very new and alien to her

Every time when she says to herself the he loves her
She feels all those stupid 16 yr old cliche emotions
Her heart doing summersault everytime she see his face in front of her eyes.

-------

They are sitting in the mess
Holding their breath, praying that no teacher should figure out what happened with them last night

"Tum log Khali peeli tension mat lo
Bola na kisi ko kuch yad nahi rahega
Bohot strong maal tha... Pichle janam ki bhi memory delete ho jati hai

Naina gave a look to him at this

Does this mean he will not remember anything about last night ...
Her heart cracked a little....
But then ... That will be the right thing to happen
After all she is a cadet and he is her teacher
The timing is as bad as possible
It can be bad for his reputation and career

The sensible thing will be to wait

Just then he entered the mess and she felt her heart pounding in her rib cage
His presence is giving her goosebumps

The image of last night
The kiss
It flashed in front of her eyes , making her red like a Tomato.
She immediately took charge of the emotions
Wiping off the excitement from her face
Pretending to be casual

"Cadet huda thanks for last night
I remember you escorted me to my room"
He said
Rubbing his forehead due to headache

"Thanks sir but main to "

"Huda listen mere liye plz ek coffee lade na"
Naina interrupted him to cut him

It's good he doesn't remember anything
He is not ready for this she thought
He is having too much emotional baggage
If he has decided to constrain himself with his feelings
It won't be easy for him to let his gaurd down

This thing is complicated
Their relationship is walking in a thin glass string
One wrong step and he can get hurt.

She has always been impulsive when it comes to her brother
But with him she will be as patient as an ant..

She can't do anything wrong.
That's the thing about happiness, once u taste it ... You want more of it
And he is her salvation from misery and pain

------------

Alekh corner her after their last drill ta

"Kuch hua hai kya Naina"
He asks her directly with a smirk yet pretending to be ignorant.

No matter how hard she is trying to be subtle
But something changed last night
And her life will never be same again...
She learnred that she is loved and ever since she is feeling content and relaxed
Opposite of the what she use to be in the starting of the year.
Hence making it so obvious for her best friend....
