At the Sabarwal House, Shaurya was lying on his bed, thinking. He thought how much he hated Anokhi in the beginning. He couldn't even stand the sight of her. But now, his heart fluttered whenever he saw her. He could even recall her perfume when he closed his eyes. What the hell was happening? He wished he could share his feelings with someone to gain some clarity into his restlessness, which somehow was linked to Anokhi.
He got up and picked up his phone. Dialled her number. After a ring or two, her confused voice was heard from the other side.
Hello..sir?
Shaurya couldn't speak for a few seconds.
Anokhi- Sir, aap ho?
Shaurya - Haan..
Anokhi took her phone and went to a quiet corner, where her roommate couldn't hear her.
Anokhi - Aap iswaqt? Kyu phone kiya sir?
Shaurya - Tumhe bura laga? Ok to main rakh deta hu.
Anokhi - Nhi nhi... Please phone mat rakhiye..
Shaurya heaved a sigh of relief - Kya kar rahi thi?
Although Anokhi still couldn't understand why Shaurya called her, she couldn't stop herself from going with the flow.
Anokhi - Kuch nhi.. bas aaj ka lessons revise kar.....
Shaurya interrupted her midway - Please Anokhi, aab tum padhai ke ilawa kuch aur baat nhi kar sakti kya?
Anokhi felt that strange ticklish feeling in her stomach... butterflies..
Anokhi - Kya baat karu?
Shaurya - Tum na.. bohot zyaada boring ho..
The smile vanished from Anokhi's lips - Pta hai sir. Chote sheher se hu, boring hu. Gawar bhi. Ye sab main janti hu.
Shaurya bit his lips - Anokhi..mera wo matlab nhi tha.. I mean to say.. I... I...
Anokhi - I know sir. Its ok. Par phone aapne ki hai. Zahir si baat hai ki aapko kuch bolna hai... To boliye?
Shaurya - Anokhi tum waise boring nhi ho. In fact, accha hai ki tum Kitty, Bebo aur bakio jaisi nhi ho. Tum Anokhi ho. Sabse alag, unique. Single piece.
Anokhi - Aab aapko itni bhi tarif jarne ki zaroorat nhi hai.
That sweet voice had returned. Shaurya sighed in relief.
Anokhi- Aapko pata hai Reema, Maya aur bki log kya sochte hai?
Shaurya - Kya? Kis bare mein? He could sense mischief in her voice that amused him. He had never witnessed this side of Anokhi.
Anokhi - wo sochte hai ki aap mujhe.....aap... I mean..... Aapko.....
Shaurya - kya? Are bolo bhi?
Anokhi - That you like me, Sir.
Shaurya paused for a moment. What did she mean? He controlled himself in the next and chose his words carefully - Haan to usmein kya hai? Of course I like you. You are one of my favorite students.
Anokhi's heart sank - Aur kaun kaun si favorite students ko aap raat ke 9 baje call karte hai?
Shaurya smiled to himself - Hain kuch aur. Kyu?
Anokhi - To aap ek kaam kijiye Sir. Aap abhi phone rakhiye aur unko call kijiye. Mujhe padhna hai.
Shaurya - Are you feeling jealous, Anokhi?
Anokhi couldn't breathe for a second.
Shaurya - Hello? Tum ho?
Anokhi - haan ji..
Shaurya felt as if his heart would burst. He regretted not being with her at that moment. He wanted to see her face, how it flushed. He wanted to hold her close, feel her heartbeat against his...
Oh damn! What am I thinking? Shaurya suddenly got conscious.
Anokhi - Sir... PS?
Shaurya- huh? Haan bolo bolo..
Anokhi - Aap kuch bol rahe the?
Shaurya - kuch....kuch nhi....
Anokhi - Aap thik ho? Achanak se kya ho gaya aapko?
Shaurya - Anokhi.. mujhe ek urgent call aa raha hai. Main tumse kal baat karu? In college? Ok? Chalo bye...
Before she could say anything, he hung up on her. Anokhi felt disheartened - Ye Shaurya sir ko kya ho jata hai? Khud hi phone kiye aur bina kuch kahe rakh bhi diye...
That night, neither of them could sleep. They lay on their beds, miles apart but never so close. They thought of each other. Anokhi recalled the moments when Shaurya got possessive about her, protected her, became her shield, and Shaurya thought of Anokhi's smile, the way her face lit up when something good happened. He sat up.
No! No! No! Shaurya shook his head in disbelief - This can't be happening...I love her! Mujhe Anokhi se pyaar ho gaya hai!!
On the other hand, Anokhi was thinking - Shaurya sir meri care karte hai. To mujhe aur kya chahiye? Kyun itni bechaini? Kyu? Kahin main unhe pasand to nhi karne lagi hu?
She sat up too. Am I in love with Shaurya Sir?
Outside, the darkness of the night smiled to itself. Only it knew what is to come...
