"Nah but I think Kiki is right!" Riya said and Aditi nodded

"I felt the same but still..." Aditi dragged and earned a glare from riya

Currently the girl gang was in the canteen waiting for their next class and discussing aditi's future date with aravind .

"Send me your location before you go!" Aishwarya added and earned a glare from keerthana

"He is my brother!" She mumbled

"So?" Aishwarya fired and keerthana shaked her head in defence.

"Alright shall we leave?" Keerthana asked and Aishwarya nodded drinking water and rushing

"Alright i shall leave too!" Aditi said and packed her bag

•••••••••••••••

Riya smiled at the couple who just walked around and focused on her Milkshake.

She had a class in about 10 minutes but there was not even 10% motivation for her to attend.

It might be because it was a Monday or maybe She knew Sameer was gone there in her same class.

Think of the devil and the devil arrives.

"Hey Riyaa!" Sameer said softly making her look up.

He had raised his hand to his tummy level waving at her.

Riya could not help but think of the time when he had a school lunch bag in his hand and a school bag in his shoulders ,her messed up hairs in his clean green uniform.

Riya saw the same sameer except the lunch bag , uniform and school bag there was a backpack and a different haircut with a slight beard.

She knew she had to face him , she knew she had to spend a hour together around 4 walls with him !

Was she prepared for that? Nah she was not but she was prepared to ignore him and pretend like paying attention to the class .

His Maroon sweatshirt and white joggers co- incidently matching her maroon dress and the wind passing by made it look so good that the passers-by thought they were a couple who were patching up after a breakup .

"What are you doing here sameer?" Riya asked still not facing him

"I just saw you and-"

"I am not asking that! What are you doing in banglore? You were suppose to be in Chennai!" Riya asked and Sameer nodded

"Last minute plans and I had to shift to banglore!" He said and riya went silent

Last minute plans

A last minute plan by him and his family years ago destroyed her.

"I...I am sorry!" Sameer said softly after a few seconds of silence making Riya smile sadly

Sorry!

"For what? " She asked

"I..i should have atleast infromed you before leaving it was immature of me!"

Riya want to ask so many questions! She was there for him every time and everyday, whenever he fell and when he raised but he left her as if she was nothing but a classmate of his .

Riya wanted to slap him hard across his cheeks for leaving her but she would not - what can she do when he was never hers to fight!

Sameer was a man riya saw everything - perfection, pretty , pain and pity

But now seeing the same man sit beside her in the canteen area and look at her as if he was looking at something which was beyond magic , riya found herself yet again losing herself.

She was fighting the urge to stop herself from slapping her own face warning her to lose herself yet again.

"Oviya and I broke up!" He announced and riya yet again smiled sadly

"I am sure you guys will patch up again! That's not new to you both" she said making sameer understand that she was still angry and hurt.

"I did not leave chennai because of her Riya! It was a family emergency and-"

"You don't have to explain to me sameer!" She cut him off making the place fall in silence

"You liked me! You deserve a explanation " Sameer said

If something killed him in 3 years then it was this! He knew Riya had something to him and he was in a stage where he would neither accept it nor reject so man choose to ignore .

"Yea I did sameer! So glad you know it but as you said it's 'liked' not like! I..I no longer feel something for you" she said

"I did not execpt anything from you Sameer not now nor in the past ! Everything i did was something I wanted to and if the feeling you feel now is pity or sympathy then kill it! I don't need those " Riya said and gulped the lump in her throat

"Also! I do not want dev or anyone in our college to know about you nor me! I am just your classmate in middle school!"Riya said as she stood up

"I don't wanna be strangers with you riya!I can never be especially with you" Sameer said

"You're still my Friend sameer "
riya added before standing up from the bench and walking away

As riya walked away , she felt something in her heal ,the rage ,the angry,the pain of holding back so much for years finally let out made her feel good.

In between the mess , Riya and Sameer understood how much said words and feelings played .
