Her Secret Smile (#2)

Chapter- 14

14. "What if he thinks about you all the time like you do?”

That evening Siddharth asked Roshini to meet him near the playground. Nidhi left telling that she needed to be early in the home today.

Roshini also needed to speak to him about some matters and Nidhi's leave was helpful too.

She sat near the playground and Siddharth warming up before starting his practice. She didn't call him instead watched him. He is too handsome and perfect. How can he be this charming? She felt and stared at him. Like everyone said he is somewhat having that Ronaldo face.

Aah the football players are really attractive.

Suddenly Siddharth noticed her staring at him, she smiled to avoid the embarrassment. But Siddharth didn't smile and signaled her to wait.

After completing his warmup Siddharth asked his couch permission to leave for just five minutes.

He came to Roshini carrying a warming smile on his face. He seemed to be very tall in his football costume and that really suited him.

"Thank you Roshini, sorry before I could ask your answer I said to her. You don't have any problem, right?" he asked and Roshini nodded as yes.

"My friends don't know that we are faking, so let's act like a normal lovers in front of everyone." He told in a little hesitation.

"Okay, but I need a help from you. I want your notes for all the subjects. You have to give all your books. I have heard you are having every single book in our syllabus, so will you give that to me?"

Siddharth was taken aback hearing that from her. He smiled and ran his fingers through his locks like always.

"Hmm sure, but how you know I am having all the books?" he asked.

"I know, rumors," she grinned.

Siddharth chuckled and looked at her, she is.... beautiful today. Her blue salwar and hairstyle really complimented her looks. He for a minute stopped everything and gazed her without his control.

"Do you want anything to say?" she asked.

"Do you have my number?"

"No," she nodded.

"Then note this down 99832*****", he told her and she noted in her mobile.

"Do you have my number?"

"I have," he replied and that shocked Roshini. How did he know my number?? She thought but didn't ask him.

"Bye then," she told and stepped back to leave.

"Roshini, this hairstyle is great on you," Siddharth just accelerated her heart rate to the extreme.

What is happening here?

"Thanks," she replied and walked making a crying face. He must have concluded that I did this for him? Hugh she nodded her head in an embarrassment.

***

The week passed, almost everyone in the college was aware of their relationship. Siddharth meets her daily during the lunchtime.

He gave his number but she didn't call him and he too remained the same.

Aishwarya throws glares at them whenever they are happened to meet. Roshini was the one found so difficult to face her.

Now their study holidays started for the third semester. Just now they started their relationship and this holidays stopped the progress.

Roshini bought some books from Siddharth to study. It is very useful for her to get a boyfriend like him who provides what she exactly wanted.

Nidhi, on the other hand, enjoying her life very beautifully, she was studying happily for her exams without any disturbance. Inside her, there is a wish to get more marks than Roshini so she is learning by getting her notes.

She will call Roshini if she has any doubt and Roshini will call her if she has anything. And then Roshini head to Nidhi's house for group study.

In that way, they spent their holidays.

Varun's brother marriage occurred grandly. The bride looked so beautiful and they were going to settle in the US since his brother working in a popular software company there.

But Varun didn't like that idea. He preferred to serve his nation instead of working for some other country.

In today's modern world it is so rare to find a guy who loves his nation to the core and Nidhi loved that part of him so much.

Knowing that she is having exams Varun didn't disturb her and asked her to concentrate more on her studies.

It was the day of their first exam, Roshini got a surprise message from Siddharth. 

"All the best, do well"

Since Siddharth have exams on alternate days so he can't meet her.

She felt so happy and become even more enthusiastic. Nidhi and Roshini discussed a lot while traveling on the bus. Everyone was looked them like oh god are these girls going to attend a UPSC exam. But they didn't care and after reaching their college they rushed to reach their department.

They studied till the last minute and entered after getting a scolding from their professor. 

Roshini did the exam very well and she reminded about Siddharth after finishing her paper.

They headed to the canteen since Nidhi felt so hungry after spending her energy for three straight hours.

Nidhi ordered biryani and Roshini ordered just a lime juice.

Roshini almost became lean, but she still needs to continue her diet for a few weeks. And Roshini's PCOD turning back to normal like a god's gift.

They chatted for some time and headed to their house. Still, there five more exams left but completing this first meant a lot to them.

Coming back home Roshini took her books for the next exam and went to the backside of their house. She sat on the concrete slab and looked blankly at the sky. It was dark and cloudy. The month of November was always hectic. But it is a beautiful month where the climate will be chill and rainy. But sadly that is the month of exams too so we don't really enjoy that month.

She started her first topic from the syllabus, that time she heard her message tone.

She thought it must be Siddharth but to her surprise, it is Siddharth's friend Kavin. 

"Hi, how was your exam?"

Roshini first hesitated to message him back but he is a good person, after that workshop, he sometimes message her good night, good morning greetings.

But why he is messaging me now, she thought and replied as "fine"

He didn't reply back and felt relieved, no more disturbances. Jolly!!

Her mom was cleaning the mess on her room and side by scolding her for being a lazy head. Roshini tossed those away and continued what she is doing.

When it became dark, Roshini decided to go to her Room to study. That time she heard someone entering their house.

She went to see who it was and surprised to see her aunt Malika.

"Aunty, how are you?" she asked and hugged her.

Malika was her dad's sister and she is a teacher in a reputed school.

"Oh I am fine dear, what about you?"

"I am fine too having exams now," Roshini gave a sad face.

"Don't worry you are an intelligent girl, you can do anything," she encouraged like always.

When they are talking, her dad came home and he welcomed her sister and Roshini mom came home after buying some groceries.

All were so happy to see her aunt. Karthik got blessings from her since he is going to attend public examination shortly.

Her Aunt was moving out of the city for few months due to her husband’s work.

She was Roshini's tutor when she was doing her tenth and twelfth. And she is one of the reasons for Roshini's intelligence. She made her get perfect scores.

Roshini's dad asked why she is here and has she wanted anything.

Her Aunt asked a favor to Roshini. Since she is moving out, she is currently home tutoring two students, and they are highly paying her. If she left in the middle then they will appoint some other teacher. 

So for that, she asked Roshini to tutor them until she arrives. 

Even she asked her to take the money for those months.

Roshini looked at her dad, he is not in the state to allow her.

Her mom seemed to be okay. Her aunt was one of her role models so she can't upset her finally Roshini decided to beg his dad.

"Please dad, it will be a new experience for me. I am going to be free after this exam right. So please dad, allow me," she pleased him.

And he said okay for her happiness.

She asked her aunt how much they are paying her per month. The answer just shocked Roshini 40000. She can't believe that.

Engineering waste, doctor waste home tutoring is the best. Best!! She thought and regretted taking this profession.

Then her aunt asked Roshini to inform her after the semester end. So that she can take her to that place.

Roshini agreed and felt excited about going to earn something in this holidays.

But forget to ask who those kids are and about their background.

The exams flied like a jet an engine. Roshini didn't get enough sleep, rest, food and anything.

She almost became 53kgs and looked so lean. Nidhi appreciated for her effort and also scolded her being so stubborn.

Roshini told about her plan for the holidays and Nidhi asked her to enjoy.

After completing her exams Roshini informed that to her aunt. And she asked her to be ready tomorrow.

Then she tossed on her bed and slept until next day.

Her mom didn't disturb her. She knew how hard her daughter was working.
