The Unrequited Marriage

childhood lovers

Nishtha's pov:

My whole world stopped when I got that flashback. I was beyond shock to know that he proposed to marry me when we were children.how did I never remembered this? I knew we were neighbours long time ago but I never knew this.

The past conversations with him started running through my mind.
Whatever he said on our first night

"I am waiting for your memory to come back"

"How did you know I wanted to go out reyansh? I didn't told that to you"
"Because.."
He never finished that sentence

"You know co-incidentally you made my favourite food"
It wasn't co incidence after all?

I flipped the picture and the next one was again of us.

Author's pov:

The classroom was buzzing with silent noises and whispers as the teacher kept writing something on board.
The voices of the students started increasing and the noise started echoing more.

"Is this a fish market?" The teacher shouted,annoyed because they weren't letting her complete her syllabus

She got more angry and banged the duster loudly on the table.she then placed the chalk on  the table and went towards the chair.she picked up the bag which was on the chair.she took out a pile of papers and all the students gasped in horror.it was the nightmare time.a time every student wished to skip

"Let's see how much noises You all are going to make after watching your test score" she said amd started distributing the papers

"Reyansh,48 out of 50,good work" she handed the paper to him and he smirked looking at his friends proudly

"Nishtha,50 out of 50,very good.she is the brightest and most sincere girl in the class.look at her,she's good in everything" she kept praising nishtha but stopped when she noticed all eyes were on reyansh.some of them were teasing him, some of them gave him teasing look and most of them hooted looking at him.

"Wait,why is everyone shouting reyansh's name,while I'm praising nishtha?" She was confused.being in her early 50's she was having no idea what these youngsters are upto

The class hooted and shouted more after what the teacher said.but those two pair of eyes were still stealing looks with each other

Reyansh was blushing so much that the teacher noticed and said

"Reyansh,you're giving competition to beetroot "

He quickly placed his head on the desk as no one will able to see his flushed face

"Why don't you ask for her number.I am sure she won't reject" vivaan,his best friend said

"Mujhe uske no.ki zarurat nahi hai. Wo mere ghar ke samne rehti hai.mai jab chahu usey dekh sakta hu,mai jab chahu ussey baat kar sakta hu,mai jab chahu ussey mil sakta hu" he scoffed and started writing his notes.

But this wasn't the truth.although they are neighbours, none of them have the courage to talk to each other.he know he will faint,the day he will talk to her.he wasn't complaining at all Even though they had numerous peaking at each other moments.he was happy and content with it.

But, his heart wanted more.....

It was annual function of their school in two days and the preparation was on fire.
From performing stunts to dancing on 'desh rangila'.everyone was occupied with something.the group of students were tensed about their acting skills on the skit they were going to perform today.a student who was engrossed in the paper because he has to remember the whole speech..
