chapter 10

In the evening Anshika called Ruhan up to enquire about him and it went on as a long conversation. "We'll be going out again!", Ruhan said."Yeah, I'm so excited about that."Anishka sat on her bed talking to Ruhan when she had to disconnect the call with a knock on her door. "We planned to go out again," Anshika whispered to Siya."What!""You don't seem to be happy?""No! Are you crazy! You people cannot hang around so frequently like that. You'll get noticed!""What? You're getting worried without any reason.""No!""Okay fine, we won't go out again for sometime after this."Ruhan walked by her bench, secretly placing a note on the table. Immediately she picked it up and it read,"Meet me at the back garden."Anshika smiled at Siya, getting up to meet Ruhan."Remember that you're bunking the class."Making a cute face to make Siya happy she sneaked out of the class. Sneaking through the corridor, she made her way down the stairs to meet her love. The whole school was busy in their classes and there was almost no one at the corridor to spot her.Standing close to her, Ruhan said,"Let's roam around and bunk! Don't you think it's going to be fun?""What! You called me for this!""Yes, it would be wonderful to do that and then before the bell rings you can go to class, so that you can get the attendance and I'll not come with you and come in the next period. I'll make sure to write both our names in the co-curricular register, so you need not worry.""That's stupid!""No it isn't. I'm sure you would love to hang around the school with me!"Pulling her hand he walked in the empty corridor and went up the stairs sneaking to the terrace."No one will come here, so both of you and me can spend some time here."Anshika jumped in excitement within herself and smiled at Ruhan."Yes we can!"They walked along by the potted plants and the water harvesting tank and up to the higher terrace and stood holding hands.It felt exciting to Anshika and so did to Ruhan. Both of them were completely lost into each other when Anshika realised she had to return to class. "Please write our names in the register before coming and I'll say I was practicing dance."She ran down the stairs and stood at the class door."Anshika? Where were you so long? Don't you know about the class?""Ma'am, I was actually practicing dance for the show. I'll be on time next time.", she stood at the door."Okay, I let you come in today, but don't forget it next time.""Okay Ma'am."Sitting on her bench she winked at Siya, who returned a smile."What were you upto?""Ohh we just went for a walk around the school and we went to the terrace.""That's exciting!""Yes!""Where's Ruhan?""He'll come after the class ends.""Ohh, where is he now?""He said he will write both our names in the co-curricular register and then come to class.""Interesting!""Yeah, I know."Ruhan entered the class looking at Anshika. Siya smiled at them both while Aditya smirked."You both will get us into trouble!", Siya whispered."Oh do we?", Siya got up."What about you people hanging around secretly?""Lower your voice or else others will get to know of it!"They stopped with the entry of the teacher.Ruhan and Anshika kept looking at each other throughout the class. During recess they talked casually in class along with Siya and Aditya and went out to the ground to spend some time together."You people are so adorable!", Siya commented on them when they stood together.Ruhan smirked and Anshika blushed.Aditya kept on saying his lame jokes to which all of them laughed. Soon Ruhan and Anshika disclosed about their relationship to the whole class and everyone was excited for that matter and they got encircled and asked various questions, especially Ruhan who used to be a crush of a lot of girls. While Anshika had newly developed being popular in the boys' crushlist, she was also subjected to several questions. Siya and Aditya would also be interrogated on the class' most popular couple, even by the students of other sections. Their relationship grew out to be the most popular among the students of other schools as well and would be an interesting topic to talk about especially because of Ruhan. However, he would not be bothered by those and would love Anshika without making her feel bad. Anshika also had fun getting so much of popularity.
