D's PoV
Scene 8
It was before study holidays for 12th graders. I started feeling weird that I cannot see him regularly like I do now. The chemistry sir we had also teaches them. So, all the 12B class came to our class during our chemistry period to get his 'All The Best'.
I hurriedly searched for him. He stood way back. But he was so tall that he could be seen from anywhere in the crowd. He was looking at me too. Obviously, I was at the first desk. When our eyes met, I had those silly butterflies in my tummy again. I lowered my gaze. Our chemistry sir blessed them all with an 'all the best!'
We all said 'All The Best' in the chorus. I mouthed him a special 'All The Best' and he nodded his head to me. Not once did he see anywhere else for the whole time he was in our class. My friend told me.
I couldn't see him after that. I really missed him. I felt like crying. I hated going to school. Whenever I crossed the cycle stand or ground or auditorium, I missed him so much. It was so hard for me. But I made myself busy with my studies and friends. Whenever a guy tried to approach me after that, my mind would flash his smile and his raised eyebrows in my heart. Never once have I felt those butterflies again!

Scene 9
I know I will ace the exams. After all, I was ready for these exams 2 times already. Our class decided to see all our teachers for this year to get their wishes. We went to her class to see our chemistry teacher. She was sitting right in the first desk corner. So cute with those big eyes!
Once my class leader said that we are from 12th B, she jerked her head and searched the crowd. Her eyes held a satisfaction when her eyes found me. It gave me an indescribable feeling. I couldn't take my eyes-off of her. She was so captivating. When everyone wished us, she looked me in the eye and mouthed an 'All the best'! That was the best wish I have ever received. Before I wrote every exam, I literally saw her wishing me in my mind.
I missed her when I couldn't see her. Her big eyes and innocent child like face always disturbed me in my dreams. I even tried going to see her. But I couldn't.
After exams, Dad arranged for flight tickets for me and Kishore. Right after the last exam. Back in my own place gave me so many distractions. New college, business, part time studies. Life moves on right? I made myself engaged in other activities that I put her in the depths of my heart!

"He was the most handsome boy in our school! Every girl had their eyes on him. But his eyes were just on me. I felt so proud of myself, when my friends had jealous looks on me. He is so manly and handsome now. I totally can't stop myself from going behind him! He is..."
"Whoa whoa! Stop it! My ears are bleeding. Give me a break. I agree, yours is a pure and God blessed love and your husband is the most handsome man in the world. Now shall we have our dinner and then talk?" Achu said.
"Tasteless fellow, I'm telling you a romantic story and you want to eat? Mark my words, you will die single!" I cursed her.
She held her hands together and pleaded to go with her to eat. I was tired too after all the narration. So, I settled on the dining table with aunty, uncle and Achu. We had a good dinner.
"Danya, you sleep here tonight. But tomorrow morning we should tell your family about this. It's not good to hide this big issue from your family. They are the only ones who can give a permanent solution for this problem." Aunty said.
"I know aunty. Rishi will come here before 8am tomorrow. We don’t have to tell anything to my family, aunty. I don’t want them to feel upset. I can handle him." I told her.
"I can understand how you are feeling, Danya! But you are like my daughter too. I've been seeing you since your childhood. I know you can handle anything. But See, as a parent we find it important to let your family know!" Uncle said.
"I understand, uncle. If he is not here after 8am tomorrow, then we can tell my family. Please uncle!?" I know the power of my pleasing puppy eyes.
"Ok dear! We will wait till 8 tomorrow." they both said and went to bed.
Achu and I went to her bedroom and settled down with video games.
"Hey please, I feel so sleepy. Let's sleep. This ‘super Mario’ is really boring!" Achu whined.
