And They Parted Away...

Chapter 6

Looking at Shourya playing in the field made me so proud.I was sitting on my seat nervously not because I have any doubt he will make our school team but because Shourya promised me that he will make me meet his parents .I could see his parents from my seat cheering loudly for him.Aunty was wearing a beautiful purple coloured saari (Indian wear) and uncle wearing a black and white check shirt. Don't get me wrong but his father looked scary. Thinking I have to talk to him afterwards was just scaring daylights out of me.
The best idea my mind could get was run as fast as possible and get lost in the crowd when Shourya wins the match. I know he will only make me meet them if he wins which he was quite confident of .As fate was on my side Shourya kicked the ball hard which passed goalie and hit the net, making his team win. Again.

Everyone crowded around Shourya, I tried slipping out smoothly from the crowd without getting noticed and make an excuse later.

"Alisha!!"Shit I muttered under my breath. I turned around.

"Come here" I went towards him and his family slowly hoping the earth might swallow me at the moment but alas nothing like that happened.

I reached near him and his family and could see the crowd disappear now.

"Look this is my mom ,this is my dad" Shourya said enthusiastically like a five year old who got his candy .

I muttered "Namaste uncle aunty "(Indian style) with a smile.

"Mom and dad,this is Alisha" Shourya said happily.

Aunty said Namaste back while uncle nodded.

"Let's have lunch together,Alisha are you free?"

I had horror written on my face and really wished to kick his ass real hard.
I got my composure back and said, "Actually I would love too but my sister is alone at home...I'll surely try to come next time".

Aunty looked relieved ,good even she was not happy with the idea . Uncle for the first time said"Okay ,we understand. We will try again next time .It was nice meeting you Alisha.Come let's go Shourya" Aunty tried the force smile and then they left.

I could see the look of disappointment all over Shourya's face.

But I will make him understand later that it is too early I know we have known each other for a year but our relationship was still fresh. Maybe I'll talk to them and he to mine in mid of 12th but 12th grade wasn't even started yet .We are still waiting for 11th grade marksheet . I took my  bike and went towards my house direction.. Lonely home was waiting for me and by the way my sister is in day boarding school and won't come back till evening ,Shourya knew it but thankfully didn't point out . 

I brought my bike to life and left school .

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

Bang!

She slapped me hard again.

Bang!
Her voice was ringing in my ears.

Bang!
"I'll kill you if you get near that boy again."

Bang!
"His name is Shourya mom" I said.

Bang!
"Whatever it is this is what you do at school? Kissing random guys in the school ground ? "

"He is not a random guy mom!" I said .

Bang! This time I felt my back breaking down. The pain was excruciating but nothing compared to my heart .

I sat on the floor even when she left which looked like eternity .

Tears came pouring out of my eyes .My back and cheek was bruised badly .

Then it suddenly dawned on me that who told her that ? No,it can't be the teacher she was talking out she was a sports teacher and has warned us and told us she is not complaining this to anyone but if it happens again she will be compelled to do so .

Then I remembered something Nysa said to me about Nakul being there when my mom came from parents teacher meeting. He must be knowing who it is I quickly took my phone from the drawer and called Nakul up.

What he told me made shivers run down my spine and the phone automatically slipped my hand .
