She was walking up the stair, carrying a plate full of Jalebi. It was the midnight, and she couldn't sleep till now! Every time she tried to close her eyelids, she start to imagine how beautiful and memorable their first kiss that he talked about will be!!. And even when she keep her eyes open, she remember what happened during the dinner and what he said after that in her room.
She was walking and eating Jelabi, absent-minded when she collided with a someone, who was none other than her "Shameless Rakshas".
He felt him holding her wrist and bringing it closer to his mouth, wanting to eat the Jalebi that was in her hand. She pulled and moved her hand away from him. " W.. What do you want ?!.. and..and it's full of sugar !" She said frowning, as she avoided looking at him, taking a small bite from the Jalebi.
" I feel that my blood sugar level is low now, and .. I want anything sweet .. please"
She raised her head and looked into his eyes, she just noticed that his eyes were showing weakness, he was blinking heavily, few beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He was realing looking unwell.
She mentally scolded herself for thinking that he was planning to annoy her again. She felt him holding her wrist again and eating from the jelabi. She allowed him to eat it from her hand. She felt a heaviness in her chest seeing him helpless like that.
He finished the jalebi, but he was still feeling dizzy. She gripped his arm and she took him to his room. She helped him to lie down in his bed as she asked him concerned: " Do you have glucose tablet, or any candy here ?!". He nodded in a " No" silently.
"I will return back soon, don't move" She said before running out of his room.
-
She returned back after sometime, and sat next to him, his eyes were closed. She was worried that he had lost his conscious, which will not be good in this case. She shake him softly till he opened his eyes slowly and he saw her holding a glass of water..
"W..What is this ?!" .. without waiting , she pressed the glass against his lips, forcing him to open his mouth, and drink it while saying "Sugar dissolved in water. It's a fast way to increase the glucose level in the blood .. Jalebi, cake and other stuff require sometime to work".
After he drink it, There was a silence in the room for few minutes.. until she asked: " Do you feel better now ?"
With a lazy smile on his face. He said: " yes .. you will be a good pharmacists .."
She rolled her eyes as she said: " I know the way of handling the hypoglycemia even before deciding to study pharmacy .. It's a known fact.."
Her tone has been changed to a firm one: " By the way ! why don't you have any glucose tablet or candy in your room ?!.. you should always have them in your room, even in your pocket all the time .. What if you couldn't walk out of your room when this happened ?! .. What if I wasn't there, what if you stumble on the stair due to the dizziness, and then hurt yourself?!" She said, pointing her finger at him angrily.
He was liking her concern about him, her anger because of careless toward his health, He was enjoying her special caring.. He smiled then said-holding his ears: " Sorry!"
She didn't know why, but she blushed seeing him life that, very cute, like a little kid who was apologizing!.. Did she ever imagined that she will see him holding his ears, apologizing like that! She smiled as she took her eyes off him, not to lose herself and pull his stubbly cheek and say " Ok but don't do it again".
She asked him wanting to distract herself: " D.. Do you have a blood glucose meter.?!"
" yes, it is on the wardrobe"
She walked toward his wardrobe and started searching for it. She found it , and returned back to him. She measured the glucose of his blood and then said: " Ermm .. good .. but still slightly lower than the average.. You now need more Glucose .. honey maybe" She said as she stood, wanting to bring some honey from the kitchen. She stopped as held her wrist, he pulled her back to where was she, and pushed himself off the headboard closer to her as he whispered: " Ermm .. honey .. I think there is honey here"
She asked him confused: " W.. Where?!"
His gazes moved down, and his hand moved up, his gaze and his index finger reached at the same time her lips, he saw her staring at him with a circled eyes and tightened lips. He pressed the pad his finger against the seam of her lips, then looked at her innocent, puzzled eyes. " Here .. " He whispered, with a desire-full eyes.
-
She took few seconds to absorb and process what he said and what he meant. She suddenly stopped breathing, her heart start pounding, and her face colored in maroon as she realized what he meant, it's feel worse, more embarrassing than when he kissed her under the table.!
She pushed his hand away roughly, and ran out of his room, horrified. Leaving him chuckling at her reaction!.
He saw his door opening after few minutes, and he saw her, she looked very angry, She was still colored in a maroon. She was holding the honey jar then she put it in the comodino. She took her jalebies' plate which was there as said firmly: "T.. Take one spoon of it" and walked out of his room, slamming the door behind her shut.
-
It was the morning, though he hadn't sleep for enough hours, but he was in a good mood, unlike any other morning. Khushi caring yesterday overwhelmed him, touched his heart, gave him a lot of hopes.. even when he teased and annoyed her about "her Honey", She became angry, but she was concerned about him and brought the honey for him. How he wish if she can take care of him like that, his whole life, and he will take of her even more. He hoped that it will happen soon!
He walked down, eager to see Khushi. But he did not found her around the dining table with the rest of his family's members, as he used to see her every morning since she moved to the Raizada Mansion. He wondered, where is she?!
He sat in the sofa sipping his coffee while waiting for Khushi's appearance. After few minutes, he heard his Nani asking Payal: " Why did Khushi betyia went to her college so early today ?!"
" She told me that she want to review some materials with Sareetha ji before the start of their classes"
***
He was driving his car, disappointed as he didn't see her this morning, before starting his day. and now he was waiting eagerly for her daily e-mail, He wanted to know how did she interpret what happened between them yesterday!.
He heard the awaited notification. He stopped his car at the side of the road, and started reading it.

Dear my mysterious friend,
How are you?! I hope that you are fine.
Yesterday, I called Amma and Bua ji, They gave me the happiest news for this year !. Amma ji told me that after the checkup, the doctor told them that there is a big hope that my father will be able to talk soon, and maybe even walk! He said that he is very responsive to the treatment. Devi Mayia ka Laakh laakh shukar. : )
Also, yesterday, I got the result of my first two quizes, I got full mark in both of them. It's good start for this semester, and I hope that I will do really well on it, and then the next semester I will be appreciated in the annual appreciation ceremony for the first time :P. If this happened, I want you to attend it and see my success, I will dedicate my success to you because you are the reason why I'm still studying!. lol ! I'm talking as if it happened :O.. but hopefully it will happen, I will do my best, I promise. : )
And what else ?! .. Nothing else .. To be honest, there a lot of thing about that Rakshas, but I cannot share it with you because you are a guy!. I feel embarrassed to share these thing with you!, and you even will not want to read it : |... For a moment I wished if you are a girl so I can share with you this particular thing that I badly need to share with anyone !!!
P.S: I just realized that majority of the content of my e-mail is about him :\ .. without writing about him, my e-mail is very short, it must be good for you to not read my nonsense about him :S ..!
Regards,
Khushi.

" What the ... !!"
He was waiting for her to talk about him! But she did not talked about him when he mostly needed her too.
" What should I do now !" He wondered, annoyed that she decided to not share this with him, but in the same time, he understand her, yes it may be very embarrassing to talk about these things with other people, especially with men. He sighed in frustration. After few moment, he decided to reply back to her mail and ask her to talk about it.. he was feeling guilty doing that, he was feeling that it's unethical to exploit her like that, but he need to know! After how Khushi interpret their dance and all his previous behavior with her, he was sure that he will never got to know what how she was thinking. Then she will misinterpret his behavior and will misunderstood his intention.
" All is fair in love and war" He tried to convince himself and hender the feel of guilt , and before he could type anything, he heard the her e-mails' notification!
***
She was on the canteen having her breakfast, her mind was somewhere else. She couldn't sleep the last night, and she couldn't concentrate in anything since the morning. She was a one who could not keep anything in her heart, she need to share it with any one. She was feeling it very heavy inside her! she couln't even share it with her mystrious friend.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath!. She know that she will not be able to concentrate in anything as long as she did not share this with him. She inhaled and then typed:
---
Dear my mysterious friend.
I cannot keep it inside me more! I will explode! I need to share it with someone, and you are the one whom I will share it with! Read it at your own risk! And skip it if you want! but I tell you what he did!
It all started under the dining table! He kissed me in my cheek when were under the dining table! You know what Nani ji and Anjali ji were with us around the dining table!. thanks to devi mayia that they did not know about was happening under the table !! I don't remember how it happened, I don't remember the details.. all What I can remember that he kissed me! You cannot understand what had happened to me! There was a lot of over activities inside me yet I was frozen in my place for some minutes! If Nani ji and Anjali ji hadn't noticed that I was under the table, I would prefer to stay like that rather than seeing him again!
They all noticed that I was sweating, shivering, and according to them, I was red! And he, the -shameless Rakshas- teased me as if he did not did anything!. I was looking like an idiot when they were asking me and I gave them an irrelevant answers. I couldn't tolerate it and I went to my room, hoping that I will found my lost relief there. But no! I kept recalling what just happened!. I kept asking myself why he is doing that with me! I kept wondering what is his aim! and what will come next !
Few minutes only and I found him in my room! And he just shocked me more. He asked me what will happened when he will kiss me , in my lips:O! And also, he said that he dreamed of kissing me many times, and he will make it true! I was fuming, he had crossed his limits!!. But then, he bewitched me ! He made me forgot all my anger, everything and just focus in his eyes and in what he said. He told me that he will never force me to kiss him, and that "Our" first kiss will be beautiful and memorable.. not a forced one!.
I was just dumb, numb at that moment, his voice and his eyes were showing seriousness! I don't know what he mean by that! How can he be so confident of what he said! And also, his words just made me dream, forcibly dream about that beautiful and memorable kiss. He left like that, after taking my rest, my sanity with him. I spend the night between recalling the previous incidents, and imagining the future possible events.!
I couldn't take it anymore! At the midnight, I prepared for my self a plate of Jelabis, hoping that it will help me to just forget. And in my way of returning back to my room, I saw him! Poor "Arnav ji" I misunderstood him! I thought that he came to tease and confuse me more and more!. But I was wrong he was having a Hypoglycemia. I helped him with it, and then, he hinted about the kiss, in more shameless way. I cannot tell you what he said because it embarrassing, very embarrassing. Remembering it send a goosebumps over me. He is shameless even when he is unwell. Rakshas /:
Even the Jalebies were useless.. I couldn't sleep, nor forget what happened, what he told me, his eyes, his voice, everything! .. There was a million possible reasons of his recent behavior with me the way he care about me, that dance, the fireworks in the terrace, this cheek kiss, and then his words .
Maybe it's Teasing, Challenging, attraction, love, or maybe lust! I don't know exactly!. I don't know how I will be able to sit around the dining table again, face him, look at him, interact with him!. I don't think that I can when I don't know why exactly he is doing all that!..
I will try my best to avoid him until my parents return back and my life return back to its normal states, seeing him just confuse me, he is already steal the peace of my mind, my rest, he is already took my conscious in just few days, what will happened next >< !.
P.S: Do you know what is his reason of doing all of this!? Can you help my confused poor soul?!
Regarded,
Khushi

****
He just finished reading her e-mail. To say that he was happy, it was underestimate! his heart was dancing in happiness.. Finally her weird brain think about it rationally, at least the word "Love" crossed her mind about the reason of his behavior with her!.
God, he felt that he was waiting for ages for her to even "think" that he love her ..
-
He felt bad for her confused state, he wished if he can go to her now and tell her about his love, but he will not! Wasn't she the one who told him it is much better when a girl knew that someone is love her, before hearing those words from him!
-
Reading that she will try to avoid him, annoyed him, he can understand her, but he will not let that happened! He did not believe that finally she tagged what he is doing with "Love" and he can never let things back to square one.
-
But there is one thing hurt him, reading that she thought about "Lust" as a possible reason of his behavior. Yes, He desires her sexually, but it wan't pure lust, it was out of his love. And there is many aspects of his love toward her other than the sexual aspect!
He hated the thought, that she about of his love, as a just a Lust, and that because he pecked her and showed openly his want to kiss her !!! " Unbelievable" he mumbled!.. what if he talked about another things he wish to do with her, she would definitely judge it as a lust without giving him a single chance!
Maybe what he have done yesterday was an overdose for someone like her, but she should understand that it is love, love, or love..
