Her Secret Smile (#2)

Chapter- 13

13. "I love you for bringing that beautiful smile on my face!!"

"Oh my god!! Roshini I can't believe this!" Nidhi exclaimed after hearing what happened between them.

"Okay let me clear one thing in this. Do you like Siddharth right? I have noticed you gawking at him, tell me the truth," she stopped walking and held her hand.

"Yeah, I like him," she told without hesitating.

"Ah, super!! So obviously you are going to say yes for him, right?" Nidhi asked smiling.

"I don't know but I like him more, he is my first ever crush. But considering the relationship, it is too much since he is asking me only to be his fake girlfriend. How can I accept this?"

"If we are going to be in a relationship, then everyone will know about that. You know I don't want anyone to think or to talk to me with him. I am a very conservative girl Nidhar and these are against my morals. I strongly believe in one love in a lifetime and wanted to show my entire love for that person who I am going to marry.

But unknowingly I developed feelings for him and I am to trying to forget that. So I can't decide anything about this."

Seeing her confused state Nidhi decided to do something. "Roshan, I can understand you. Keep your morals aside and listen to your heart. You don't know anything about Siddharth, take this as a chance to know what type of person he is.

Sometimes we may get attracted by a person watching them from the distance. If we get closer to them and know more about them our view may change. We can understand whether he is perfect for us or not. So try that and this is the time we may get a chance like this Roshan, try to enjoy this. Perhaps your feeling for him may change in the end?"

"What if I end up falling in love with him?" Roshini questioned her.

"Then confess your love at the end, he will definitely accept you," Nidhi told confidently.

"Whatever, I don't think this end happily," she said still not hoping for a happy end.

"Believe strongly in something, no matter what you will end up in getting that. You may struggle in the mid but if you are determined then it is only for you."

Nidhi's words bought a smile on her face. "You are more confident than me," she chuckled and continued to walk.

"Hey what happened on your movie date?"

"We watched a movie and he headed to his house after dropping me in my house," Nidhi said sighing.

"Nothing big happened?" "Like hug or kiss?" Roshini laughed asking that.

"Uh-huh, Nothing" Nidhi sounded in a disappointed.

They left talking about their love, it is really a kind of pleasure to converse this topic than anything.

***

When they reached their stop, Nidhi was surprised to see Varun on his bike. He smiled at her and Roshini left saying her goodbyes to them.

"What you are doing here?" she questioned him.

"I felt to see, so that's why..." he told.

"Oh, Varun I can't come to your brother's marriage. My parents will only come," she told him.

"It is fine."

"How was your day?"

"I was busy with a case and also busy with the arrangements. No time to relax, even now I am going with my dad to invite people."

"Just till Friday right after that you can take rest," she said patting his shoulder. He suddenly gripped her hand and held with his. He didn't allow her to take her hand away and gazed at her differently, his eyes reflected a kind of love that is very hard to explain.

Nidhi felt it is new. He never touches her like this in public, what happened to him?

"After everything is over, let's go somewhere. Decide where you want to go," he smirked.

"Hmm," she blushed and looked down.

"Okay, go home. Good night. Dream only about me," he grinned and Nidhi's heart throbbed crazily.

"Hmm," she nodded.

Sometimes she hates him but most of the time, he just shut those hate feelings in her by his small smile. Love is a crazy thing that will eventually turn people crazy when it haunts them.

Roshini entered her house. Her mom said to change her clothes after seeing it is all wet. She went to her room and his brother Karthik was studying sitting on the slab behind their house.

She went to her room and removed her clothes and changed into her pajamas, she can feel some weight is reduced from her body. Hopefully, she is praying to God to turn everything normal in her life.

She left her wet hair free to dry and came out with her phone and headphone. Her mom gave a glass of tea to Roshini and Karthik.

Roshini listening to some songs gazed at the drizzling rain, finally, everything falling back to normal like how she wanted. Roshini closed her eyes and smiled.

What I have to tell, yes or no?

Say yes!! Her heart replied and she agreed by nodding her head.

The next day Roshini got up at 6.00 am in the morning, finishing off her morning chores Roshini wore her walking shoes and headed to the nearby park.

Her mom watched her leaving the house. She knew about her daughter. If she decided to do something then she will work hard to achieve that.

Roshini walked around the park, five times. Mostly elderly people and some middle-aged uncle were running, exercising, and walking. 

She didn't care about what other people were thinking about her and walked for some time.

She came back home and went to take a hot shower. Looking at the wardrobe she is so confused about what to wear.

Then at least she wore a blue salwar that was great on her. She french braided her hair and looked totally stunning since today she carried a confident smile on her face.

She finished her breakfast and sat for some time, then taking her bag she headed to the bus stop.

While walking Nidhi phoned her and informed she is waiting for her before her house. They reached the bus stop and Nidhi complimented Roshini's appearance today.

But she remained calm and blushed. Today is going to an unforgettable day for her and she is happily ready to experience the impending events.

When they reached their department. She felt something in the pit of her stomach. She is hoping to meet Siddharth, what happens when he turns back, then I will become a fool right, she had that fear too.

She sat in her place and waited eagerly for Siddharth. Nidhi, on the other hand, looking for him.

But Siddharth didn't come instead their math professor came in carrying the second internals paper.

He distributed the papers and obviously, Roshini got the highest score. But she didn't care about anything and waited for Siddharth to show up.

The first period got over, then second, third, fourth. Roshini for a second lost her hope. She became gloomy and dejected.

"Shall I go and see whether Siddharth came?” Nidhi told to her. Even she became so impatient in this.

"No. Leave it. Let's go for lunch," she told to her and stood up carrying her lunch box.

Behind her, Aishwarya was busy blabbering about her love for her friends.

"Ah, why she is too irritating!" Nidhi annoyed, looking her.

Out of nowhere, Siddharth entered their class. Roshini didn't notice him first, after Aishwarya called him she turned to Siddharth gazing her with a smile.

"Aishwarya, I said right I am already in love with someone. Do you want to know who is she?" he asked her and she looked him blankly having no idea.

Roshini heart raced and Nidhi started smiling from behind. 

"It is Roshini, we are in a relationship for the past six months so hereafter stop telling your stories.” He sounded a little rude.

Roshini felt too awkward to stand there. If we see it from outside it may be a beautiful love scene but we are a part of that scene it is entirely different.

Aishwarya didn't utter anything and remained silent. Siddharth turned to Roshini and smiled like he is actually in love with her.

He didn't ask her permission but instead, he turned everything for his favor. And Roshini just acting on the flow supporting him.

"I will meet you later," he said to her left the place.

Her classmates all were looking at her like she is an alien came from another planet.

She strolled out of the class with Nidhi carrying the lunchbox. After they came to their usual place she sighed deeply. Nidhi smiled at her.

"Aww Roshini you are going to be famous," she pinched her blushed cheeks.

Roshini doesn't know anything than to smile wider.

Her heart was still racing, and she sat silently for some time to calm herself.

"Siddharth is it true that you are in love with that Roshini?" Gowtham asked.

"Yeah, true."

"Really? But you didn't say anything to Me," he questioned without believing.

"Hey, it is his personality. Why he have to tell you," Ram said and chuckled.

"True, now your fangirl count will decrease." He told and took a bite from David's plate and he glared.

Siddharth smiled in relief, he didn't say what really happened to his friends. And they didn't care much about that.
