SHADOWS OF FATE : A HIGHSCHOOL ROMANCEWords: 7719

Sorry for the delay in updates. We promise to give double updates this week.

Do vote and commentie cuties.

Under the roof of this bright moonlight, I felt dizzy. He moved his hands in a synchronised manner , completely focusing on his task.

I could not help but feel dizzy. The patterns are making me feel like that. It's like a drug , I'm being addicted to.

My right hand has already been completed by him which was looking even more beautiful in this light.

“Done” Hearing his voice, I came back to my senses and looked at both of my hands which were looking damn beautiful.

“I never knew you were such a great artist.” I remarked earning a chuckle from him.

His face turns red when he laughs. This is the proof that he is laughing truly.

“Thank you, Avyansh for this. It's so beautiful that my I can't take off my eyes from it .” I appreciated it.

“It's nothing in front of you, Aadya.” saying this , he stands up to leave.

“Let's go down, it's already too late.” He said moving down the stairs.

“I am sorry for the trouble and delay,I caused you.” I looked at him who was standing still.

“What I do for you isn't just formality Aadu, it comes from heart.”

A shiver ran down my spine on hearing that nickname from his mouth.

That nickname sounded too good from his mouth.

My dil goes mmmm....

I went downstairs and opened the door of my room after bidding him byee.

I laid on my bed taking special care of my hands. So that the patterns don't get spoiled just because of my silly mistake.

Soon, I drifted off to deep slumber, forgetting all the incidents of the day.

Next morning was just as chaotic as other days but I find something upset.

“Agastya, is something wrong?” I asked.

“Di, I don't want to go to school today ” He said in a baby voice.

“Why?” I asked , searching for a valid reason.

“Di, today Aleena miss is having 3 classes. I don't want to attend her classes. ” He said.

“Just because of those 3 classes, you are going to miss your other 5 periods and lunch break. Just manage and go.” I said in a convincing tone.

“Aadu, look at my Mehendi ” Lakshi shoved her palms to me. The colour was dark brown.

“Ohhhoooo....Koi jyada pyar karta hai kisi se.” I hooted to which she blushed.

{Ohhhooo...seems like someone is loving you alot}

“Aadya apni mehendi dikhana, jara.” Bua said with a curious look on her face.

{Aadya, show me your mehendi.}

“Lagta hai koi kisi se mujhse jyada pyar karta hai ” Lakshi di said playfully nudging my shoulders.

{Seems like someone is loving her More than me}

“Kon kar Raha hai itna pyaar, wo bhi chudail se” Agastya quipped in.

{Who is loving this , witch?}

“If someone isn't loving you like this that doesn't mean, someone doesn't loves me” I said showing my tongue to him.

I looked at the darkest brown colour of my mehendi. It is having a tint of black too.

It's amazing. Who the heck is loving me this much?

Since when did I became this lovable? Seems like he's blind.

I went inside my room as today is the first day of Navratri and it is a holiday on account of it.

I looked for my dress in the cupboard and the needed accesories.

Everyone was gathered in front of the idol of Mata Durga for the Aarti.

I stood between Mumma and Papa. My brothers were beside them.

We performed the Aarti one by one. I took the prasad and started distributing it.

“Bua, where is Shweta?” I asked as everyone was present except for her.

“She is sleeping ” I looked at Bua amazed because if I would have been in place of her , till now she would have been doing tandav on my head.

The day went off. I got ready for my coaching.

I entered into my class, and found Arya Bhai and Zoya giggling at something.

I couldn't find him.

“Aadya, come fast, we need to talk something.” I kept my bag at my seat and went to bhai.

Everyone has surrounded Arya Bhai in a circle. Everyone in the sense me , Eklavya, Zoya and Anisha.

“It's Avyansh's Birthday in a week.” Arya Bhai said.

My face immediately lit up listening to this.

“ But the fact is he doesn't celebrates his birthday. ” listening this my face fell.

“So, what should we do?” Zoya asked.

“He'll celebrate it this year. ” Everyone looked at my direction.

“But how?” They asked.

“We'll plan it” I said but they all gave me a look.

“But, Aadu we don't know what's the reason behind him not celebrating his birthday.” Anisha said with a concerned look.

“Yes, Maybe it's something serious. That's why he doesn't celebrates it.” Eklavya said with a genuine care.

“See, Aadu if you're planning something. Then first think about the consequences. How it will affect him? ” Arya Bhai said in a warning tone.

“Yes, Aadu, because you're doing it out of affection and care for him. But what if he finds it hurting? Maybe it would have been hurting for him that's why he doesn't celebrates it.” I nodded my head listening to Zoya.

Their concerns are genuine but we can't let his special day go like that.

“I understand your concerns but what should we do? Leave his birthday like this. Why to think negative? Maybe he finds happiness in that. Maybe he feels good.”

I said with a warm smile.

“But what to do?” Arya Bhai asked with curiosity.

“I'll take care of it. Just help me” I  reassured him with a knowing look.

“What is happening here?” I turned back and found Avyansh.

“Nothing we were just blabbering.” I said before he could question any further .

Bhaiya came and started teaching.

Everyone was busy solving their questions. Bhaiya has went out to receive a call.

I felt weird at her answer. Are they hiding something from me?

Or is it her only hiding it from me ? Maybe,because she was the one telling something to them when I came.

Maybe she isn't that comfortable to share it with me. The way she is with them. Afterall they're more close to her.

I felt a pang in my chest with all of these thoughts. Maybe I am just thinking too much.

I saw her struggling with a question. But didn't disturbed her.

I felt her calling me.

“Avyansh ” She called out,softly.

“Yes?” I asked.

“Umm...can you please help me out with this one?” She forwarded her copy pointing towards the question.

I looked at her copy and was amused by her writing.

How can someone write so beautifully and neatly in maths.

That too every equation smoothly and clearly with each steps defined descriptively.

No doubt she was a topper afterall!

I looked at the question and started to solve it.

I looked at her face. She was looking somewhere but not at the solution.

“Aadu, kaha dekh rahi ho?”

{Aadu, where are you looking?}

“Aapki aankhon mein!” She replied with a smile.

{In your eyes}

“What?” I asked once again to confirm, if what I heard was true or not.

“Uhh... nothing just at the solution.” She said looking down at the solution.

I shook my head knowing I heard wrong she won't say something like that.

Her behaviour looks quite disturbing. As if she is being distant from me. But why?

It's been a month to that janmashtami competition. Since that day, she's being quite with me.

I don't understand. It keeps bothering me.

I don't know why but this single thought of her not talking to me shooks me to my core.

I feel something unknown for her. A different soft corner at her name.

As if the place which was left in my heart is already acquired by her.

“Two hearts, with feelings but unknown of what they really feel”
