My Durga Pujo Love

Chapter-nine (SAPTAMI)

Pov-jaanhvi

"I love nature"
I said, as my friends Alisha and Mitisha looked at me with amusement.

"Should we go and have something?" Alisha asked,her eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Mmmm... what about puchka?"
Mitisha suggested.

"I forgot my purse"
I admitted, feeling embarrassed.

"Bhai,hum pay kar denge"
Alisha offered, coming to my rescue.

"Thanks"
I said, grateful for her help.

We headed to a shop, and as we joined the crowd, we overheard a group of girls talking.

"Do you think that guy Shubang has a crush on a girl?"
one of the girls asked her friends.

"I know, I know! I heard them talking about her last night. She's from his school" another girl chimed in.

"Who is she?"
the first girl inquired.

"I don't know her name, but she's from the same class. I don't know about the section"
the second girl replied.

"Is she pretty?"
the first girl pressed on.

"She is very pretty"
the second girl complemented.

As they described the mysterious girl,I couldn't help but wonder if it was me. I knew Shubang from my school, but we had never really talked.

"Oh my God! Did you hear what those girls were talking about?"
I asked my friends.

"Yes, they're talking about Shubang" Mitisha confirmed, just as shocked as I was.

"Did you guys ever hear about this?" Alisha questioned.

"No"
Mitisha and I replied.

"Does that mean you both were wrong about him having a crush on me?"
I said, feeling a mixture of disappointment and relief.

"No, no, no! I'm sure you're the one" Mitisha insisted.

"Jaanhvi, are you listening?"
Alisha inquired.

"No, you guys are wrong. He never talked to me, so I'm probably not the one"
I replied.

"Wait! Did he talk to anyone from our class?"
Mitisha asked.

"Not from our class, but I don't know about the 11th grade"
the other girl replied.

"Did he talk to anyone from that class?" Alisha probed.

"Not that I know of"
the other girl answered.

"See, I was not the one"
I sighed with a hint of relief.

"Wait, did the girl mention her name?" Alisha asked.

"No, she didn't mention it"
the other girl said.

"Yeah, yeah"
Mitisha confirmed.

"I can't believe it"
I mumbled.

"You know what, let's just forget about it"
I suggested.

"Yeah, let's go back"
Alisha agreed.

"Okay, let's go"
Mitisha added.

"I need some rest," I stated.

"Jaan, call when you reach home"
Mitisha reminded me.

"Yeah, yeah"
I replied and left for home.

At home, I felt unusually tired and laid down, prompting my mom to worry.

"Are you alright, honey? Why are you not eating?"
my mom asked.

"I'm feeling really tired, mummy. Just going to take some rest"
I assured her.

The next morning, I realized I had slept for an extended period, which concerned my mom.

"Ma'am, did I sleep for 12 hours?"
I asked as I got up.

"Yes, you did. I didn't want to disturb you," my mom replied.
"Are you fine?"
she inquired.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about"
I reassured her.

I decided to make breakfast,and my mom couldn't stop praising it.

"Oh, this is so yummy"
she complimented.

"Thank you"
I replied with a smile.

"By the way, can you please send these chapatis and vegetables to the Shubang family?"
my mom requested.

I agreed, promising to return in a few minutes.

I delivered the food to Shubang's house, and his mother was thrilled.

"Oh my God, it's so much, you shouldn't have"
she said.

"It was nothing, aunty"
I replied humbly.

Shubang's mom insisted that I sit down, but I had to hurry back.

"I'll take your leave, aunty. I'm in a hurry"
I explained.

"No problem, I'll see you off but you will have to take these"
she said said giving me a box"they are some sweets i made,and you can'tsay no to them"

"Oh thank you anty,you really didn't have too"i replied

"It's nothing"she said

I waved and left their home

Returning home, my mom greeted me.

"Hey," she called.
"Jaan, are you feeling good?" she asked.

I assured her that I was fine, but her concern lingered.

"Here anty sent something"i said handing her the box
"It's sweets,I know she does make amazing sweets"i said complimenting shubang's mom
