His Heartbeat

Chapter 9

"Sorry!"
She raised her head only to see Wali, Mahir and Arsum standing in front with guilty faces.

"I am not interested in talking with you guys."
She said sternly.

"Please Mahi! We are really sorry."
Mahir said.

" Did I ask you?"
Mahi asked.

" No! But we want to tell you that.."

"That you destroyed someone's mood just did your these idiotic pranks."
She said with straight face cutting Wali off.

"Atleast listen to us for once."
Arsum pleaded.

"I don't want. "

"Atleast don't be angry with us."
Mahir said.

"I am not!"

"You are!"
Wali said.

" You guys did what you want and now i am doing what I want. And it doesn't make any difference if I talk or not."
She said and without waiting for their reply she went to her room.

Her mind was perplexed  but with what?

Mahi herself didn't know .

I guess that's what happened when you keep too much load in your heart.

Samahir took her notes from bag and made her way towards her bed.
She had an exam in next 2 days.

There was no one outside so she again  sat on grass circling her arms around her legs.

"Mahi!"
She raised her head at Almir' s voice.

" Huh?"

"Can I sit with you?"
He asked with a smile.

"Ahh yes!"
She quickly took her scattered her notes and put them aside.

"I guess I am not disturbing you."

"No way!!! Even I was planning to take a break."
She smiled.

" Ok let's go for a walk. What say?"
Almir asked cheerfully.

"I will love to. "
She quickly stood up and spread her duppata and they both jogged towards garden.

"Can I ask you something?"
Almir said while walking.

"You just did!"
Mahi said and they both laughed.

"Actually I wanna ask what is between you and Ali?"
And Mahi stopped on her steps.

Almir noticed this and stood too.

"Look if you.. "

"Nothing!!"
Mahi said cutting Almir off.

"What?"

"There is absolutely nothing between us."
She said and again started walking.

They could hear the sound of grass crushing under their feet in that tranquil beauty of the garden.

"Ok so do you like children? Or more little babies? "
Almir asked out of blue.

"Offcourse!!! They are love!! "
Mahi smiled for the first time

"What you love most about them?"

"Everything but more innocence which they have in their eyes, in their laughter."
She stated excitedly.

"You know Almir!! I love babies cause they are so care free . Their lives are so peaceful and free of tensions."
Now she was smiling lightly looking at sky.
