Part 31

"Ravi my answer is Yes... and No.",said Pooja thinking about Teju who had suggested that answer to her to see if Ravi's and her mind was on the same level of understanding.

Then Pooja said,"Ravi if you could.. you know tell me why I answered like that and then if your answer is what I am thinking then I am all yours."

Agent Scar thought,"What is all this, from where do these girls get all those weird ideas."

Then he started thinking why Pooja said such an answer and analyzing her character and

That was the answer she had in her mind and on hearing it from Ravi she was totally blown away by him. She thought she should have some similarities with him and it looked it they were going to share a lot more in common than she expected. Pooja just couldn't say anything further she just blushed and smiled Ravi understood what she was trying to say but still said,"So Pooja say those three magical words,I want to hear them through your sweet voice."

Pooja was too shy to say them in front of him so she turned back still blushing she managed to say,"Ravi I Love You."

She couldn't believe what she was telling him. The one thing she was advised by many of her well wishers was never to fall for a guy before she left her school but that was what had happened.

Strangely she wasn't feeling bad about it,she was feeling light and elated. She turned back to face Ravi only to see him smiling broadly and his eyes were shining. Then she stretched out her hand and Ravi took it gently into his and shook her hand for the second time.

Agent Scar was really glad that he had succeeded in completing 25% of his assignment. After they shook their hands and before Ravi could say anything. Pooja said,"Ravi there are certain rules that "we" have to follow to make this relationship work out."

"OK, anything for you.",said Ravi.

"The first and foremost rule to our relationship is that it has to be a private one.",said Pooja.

"Why like that?",asked Ravi.

Then Pooja seeing downwards said slowly,"Its just that I made comments on my friends when they would be with their Boyfriends and now if everyone gets to know they will tease me too."

"Ohh OK whatever.",said Ravi and then he continued,"I think it's better if you go and sit in your place for now."

"No its OK lets talk some more time.",said Pooja.

"Pooja someone is coming." "How do you know I don't hear nor see anyone.",protested Pooja.

"If only I could tell you.",said Ravi.

The truth was that Agent Scar's senses were better than a normal human's and he could hear sounds from even a far away distance and now he was hearing footsteps on the staircase near their classroom.

Pooja then said,"Why can't you tell me? Keeping Secrets from now only?"

"No Pooja nothing like that I just felt someone was coming and anyway lets continue our discussion today evening after school at Friend's Park I will be waiting for you near the forest section.",said Ravi and just as Pooja went and sat in her place her "Best Friend" Shreya came into the class and the first thing Shreya said was,"Since when did you start coming to classes early."


Pooja smiled and said,"Since Today."
Then soon the entire class filled up and one after the other teachers came and started distributing the answer scripts and in almost all of them the top three students were Pavan Ravi and Pooja but the order was not fixed they kept rotating.

Then just before lunch came the maths teacher and started giving the answer scripts but this time the Foreign Exchange Student didn't get marks everyone were expecting from him.

He only got 16 out of 25 and the reason was simple.

Even though he got the question the previous night only 4 questions came from the classwork and he attempted them but the other 2 were given from somewhere else and he just left them blank without even attempting.

Generally most of the students in his class scored very good marks in maths as they felt it was easy but somehow Ravi never showed great interest in numbers. Finally at the end of the day their report cards were given and Pavan stood first in the class, Pooja came second, Karthik came third and Ravi got fourth.

Ravi could have got second rank had he got more marks in maths. But he didn't care why would he the fact was that he was succeeding in his mission and that made him happy. After school Ravi and Pooja straight away went home without even glancing at each other. They promised each other that they would meet in Friend's Park at 6 PM. and now both of them were eagerly waiting at what would the other one say on their first official meeting as a couple.

The next morning Ravi woke up very early and went to the "Library" He went to the library early but it was already open and soon he was sitting on his table again and the next book was " Everything You Need to Know-Teen Edition ." He started reading the book he found the book interesting because in the book he found information about many things he never heard about, the book had information about everything from Pythagoras' Theorem to the scientific name of Blue Whale. Ravi spent hours reading and trying to remember anything and everything he could. Then after reading the book almost till the end he reached a chapter in the book which was called-" Love " and as any other chapter he continued reading the book but this was not a normal chapter, it was very different from the other chapters because it had no formulas, no scientific terms, no nothing but just assumptions and guesses. Ravi did not understand half of what he was reading and he wondered h...

“Pooja wake up, time to go to classes”, said a voice trying to wake up the half asleep girl to which the girl replied, “Mom today's the first day of school I don't want to go to Verma coaching institute at least once“ The girl's mother was now annoyed and sternly replied, “I don’t care if it’s your first day of school or not you are not going to miss even one day of coaching classes Pandu” That was it ”Mom don’t call me Pandu I am not 7 year old, I used to like it when I was little but now it’s strange so stop it and ok ok I will get ready soon” She quickly got ready and as usual her father dropped at the Coaching Center. He then said that he would come and pick her up after the classes and went away. Pooja was already late and she was walking fast towards the steps she stopped when she heard the footsteps of someone coming quickly towards her.

As the weeks passed, the park whose plan was laid by many engineers was taking shape by the help of students and anyone who was interested in helping. Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons were spent in gardening, digging dirt, planting saplings etc. but Pooja had to make up a lot of stories to come out of her house every week which included everything from " Special Classes At School to Visiting a Sick Friend ". One such Saturday evening while she was working on the Flower Beds near the Entrance Gate, she was working without a care in the world, Ravi came and joined her and they were working so hard that they got mud spots in many places on their faces and then Ravi asked Pooja,"Hey Pooja, how is it that you manage to come twice every week while others want to skip their share of work by giving some reasons." To this Pooja smiled shyly and replied,"Well Ravi the thing is that, I have a lot of childhood memories of playing in this green lot and I didn'...
