Episode- 02 Memories

"will I ever be able to forget you"?

It was Diksha. "Hey, what took you so late to open the damn door"she said pouting. "Nothing, I was on the way". I opened the gate, we both hugged each other and I took her inside my house where kartik was also waiting. "By the way, Suzana why are you breathing so heavily, did you run?" And at that moment my eyes met with Kartik. "No ways he heard that question" I murmured to myself. Then kartik spoke" Yes, tell me too Suzana why were you breathing so heavily?". I was so much in shock looking to his guts and asking me this question. " I just ran so that you don't have to wait longer" I said giving a look to Kartik. Kartik started laughing.

To ease the situation I told Diksha to ignore him and move forward. We played some games and talked about school and studies. "Guys, it's already 7pm I must hurry otherwise mom will be worried". Diksha spoke. "Okay, we will drop you downstairs. Are you leaving too?" I asked Kartik. "No, I will wait till your parents arrived. Actually they called on landline when you were receiving Diksha at the gate. I forgot to tell you". He said. I gave him a look and said" you should have said it earlier. I would have talked to them and ordered some food". "It's no a big deal. We can order it now" he said. "Okay guys i will leave then have fun. Bye" we both waved Diksha a goodbye and returned to my house.

"Okay, so now you tell me Mr what were you asking in front of Diksha?" I said while taking a pillow to throw at him. "Nothing, I didn't say anything, what are you talking about" he said mischievously and run. "Talking about what, wait I will tell you what". I started chasing him. He started to run and went inside my room. I chased him too and locked the door. "Now where will you go?" I said playfully. "Wait, i can explain ". He was about to say more, but I cut him off and threw the pillow at him. It hit his face. "Ouch, my eyes" he said. I went running to him."sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your eyes. Does it hurt badly?". " Yes, very badly" he said and grabbed my hand and we both fell on the bed. He was on top of me. He tucked my hair behind my ears and his one touch just shiver down my spine. "Leave, idiot "i said playfully and got up. "What? Are you feeling shy?" He asked laughing. "Why would I, just shut up". "Let's go and eat something ". I said.

We both got up and went inside the kitchen. There was some food left. We both are together. "I want to read a book, but I am so full i really don't want to move" I said making a sigh. "I will read it for you, let's go to your room." Kartik offered. "Will you really read but when I used to ask you earlier you just refused?". "Fine then I won't read" he said. "No, no, please let's go". I said hurriedly so that he don't change his mind. "Can you here Suzana i can't find the book." I went up to him. I, too, can't find the book."ahh! I remember I lent that book to Diksha last week. I forgot to take back. Now what shall we do?" I said pouting. He held my cheeks and said" don't be upset let's watch something on Netflix. What's say?" I backed off. "Okay". I said. We were watching "pride and prejudice "on Netflix. "This movie is fantastic, isn't it?" He said coming closer to my face. "Yeah". I replied meekly.

The time we started to watch that movie i was breathing heavily because every now and then kartik's shoulder brushes mine. It was also because only we two were here. But then I thought nothing such had happened earlier when we use to hang out but what now. I was so confused. I was lost in my thoughts and wasn't paying heed to the movie and didn't realise him calling my name."Suzana, dude not again. You again zoned out. Leave it lets not watch the movie" he said and he seemed upset." I told you if anything bothers you can tell me. Whatever I am leaving ". He said and was about to get up but I held his hand. He looked back. "What?" "Sorry, don't be upset and don't worry I have nothing going on otherwise I would have told you."i said it with a smile. He sat down but pouting. Soon he came back to normal but my parents came so i went to see him off. "Bye, meet you tomorrow at school". I said . He replied the same and left.

"Suzana, hurry and let's go to the canteen Kartik is fighting with Vickey of our class".Diksha said while grabbing my hand and making me run which I didn't even realise until I reached. I saw Kartik face bleeding but Vickey was injured badly too or maybe beaten up i can say. I shouted"stop, Kartik what are you doing? Please stop. Kartik was in no mood to listen he was still beating Vickey. I was terrified. I just couldn't think of anything in that moment and i just ran towards kartik holding him from back. As he turned back to watch who was it, Vickey saw the chance and pushed him. We both fell at a corner but thankfully teachers came and ended the fight. They both were sent to nurse's office and later it was notified to all of us that both have been suspended for one week. I couldn't talk to kartik that day, everything was happening so fast I just couldn't get a chance. Have you ever fell an urge to just go the person, hug them and tell them it's going to be okay but you just can't. That's what I was feeling that whole day. It was 7 O' clock and I was just sitting at my study chair when my mom came in and said Kartik is here. Mom left , I stood up and went to the living room where Kartik was sitting on the sofa, my eyes met his and I felt the urge to cry.
