chapter 30

Part 30: Moments after the confrontationThe lunch break was over. The students were slowly returning to the class.Riya sat down near the bench - the flashback of that confrontation was still going on in her mind. Her face was a little pink... a slight smile in her eyes.Sneha waved her hand and said, "Hey heroine! Don't remember Dhirav by closing your eyes..."Riya slapped the back of her notebook, "Why does only one thing stay on your mind?"Pihu also fell down, "Because you say everything by remaining silent... with your eyes!"Just then Dhirav came in. His entry style was the same - a little carefree, a little lazy, but there was a different sparkle in his eyes.He came straight to Riya and stopped in front of her.Dhirav: "Walk carefully... who knows you might fall again."Riya raised her eyes, "So will you come to catch me every day?"Dhirav: (with a light smile) "If you feel like falling... then tell me."A light scream was heard in the class - Saloni and Simmi both said oh ho......!Riya immediately picked up the pen and said, "Write down the points of the chart activity or else the teacher will give you suspension instead of inspiration!"Dhirav laughed, "It will look cool if the suspension also happens in your company."Riya looked at him - a pause for a moment... a feeling... then she wrote a word on the chart with a pen:"Connection."Dhirav asked, "What is this life lesson about?"Riya: "Which is made from small quarrels, but sometimes there is no reason."Dhirav: "Meaning, falling was also a way to meet?"Riya just smiled… and there was a spark in her eyes –which was saying, maybe yes…Sneha said from behind, “This chart is going to be a blockbuster!”Everyone started laughing… but a new understanding had been formed between Riya and Dheerav – which did not require words, just friends.
