Adi & Maithili FF ' Unexpected
CH 1 ' Exchange Favors
Vikram Aditiya Mehra aka Adi hurries through the hallways of his college. He needs to get out of there right now before'
'Ditching class again?' says a nearby shadow.
A young womam appears out of the darkness as she steps into the afternoon sunlight.
Great. This is not at all what I need right now.
'Is staying put in class too much for your teeny brain to handle Adi!'
Arrgghh. This woman.
'I thought you were going to try to avoid making my life hell, especially after all the help I gave you with your '.'
Before she could finish, Adi rushes past her.
'Hey! Adi!' running after him.
She grabs a hold of his arm.
'What's wrong?' her voice full of genuine concern.
'Let go Maithili! Lecture me later. Right now I have to get home. Mama needs me.'
Without throwing another glance her way, Adi walks off. Maithili is left feeling like an idiot. She and Adi had traveled a lot since their earlier days of complete and utter indifference for each other. They had, dare she say, become close to being friends, but they still maintained the fun bickering that had existed in their past relationship. Before when Maithili had stopped Adi thinking that he was cutting class again, she was doing just that. She was being blunt with Adi and thus, fighting with him because that's what they did probably because both of them still irritated each other, affected each other, clashed with each other. They never held anything back from each other. When they get along, they really get along. When they have fun hanging out, they really have fun. And when they fight, they really fight.
'Oh god. He should have said something before I mouthed off,' she whispers in the empty hallway and walks away.
* * *
'Uncle! Where's Ma?!' Adi storms into his mansion of a home.
Mr. Suresh Mehra comes downstairs and calmly points upstairs. Adi rushes up the stairs and bursts open his mom's room door.
'Ma''
'Hi beta,' weakly replies his mom with a smile.
'Oh my god, Ma. You see me, you can talk to me. Oh my god,' he hugs her tightly.
'All thanks to Ms. Janki.'
All thanks to someone else too.
* * *
'Hey Adi!' Maithili comes out of the library doors and power walks towards Adi.
'Maithili,' he says sternly.
'Look, I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't know..'
Puts out his right hand to signal her to stop, ' Listen. I owe you ok. I owe you big. My mom's all better now,' the sparkle in his voice returns as he says that.
'What? Wow! I'm so happy for you Adi!'
'And since I don't want to have to owe you for life. I will do something for you.'
'Come on Adi. You don't owe me. I just convinced Ms. Janki Devi to help, that's all. The person you really owe is her, not me.'
'But I can't really show her how much her help meant other than just saying thank you over and over again. But with you, I can do better,' he says while smirking.
'And what would this something be that you want to help me with,' folds her arms in response to his smirk.
'Come on Mets,' putting his arm around her shoulder, 'use your own brain for once.'
She elbows him in the chest.
'Ok. Ok,' takes his hand off her.
'Adi, I am doing great. I don't need help with anything. Your undying gratitude will be payment enough,' smiling sweetly at him.
'Hell no. I know you Ms. Maithili and you are no angel. More like an angel-looking devil who will pressure me to do something embarrassing as payback.'
She laughs lightly.
'So before you do anything like that, I will help you with a certain crush you have. Can't say much for choice, but ''
Maithili shoots daggers at him with her eyes and stops his speech midway.
'To win Pranay, I don't need you.'
'Oh yes you do. More than you know,' turns around to see Pranay coming up the stairs. Adi sees Pranay look at them and so he decides to put his proposition into action right then. Maithili follows Adi's glance and is about to say hi to Pranay when something strange happens. Adi comes close to her and kisses her on the cheek.
'I'll call you tonight sweety!' Adi says loudly as he walks down the crowded hallway.
Still a little in shock, 'Sweety! Vikram Aditiya Mehra come back here!' she runs after him not even realizing that she had left her 'crush' alone without saying a word.
