Part 39

Slowly but surely 6 P.M. did arrive and in Pooja’s house everyone were getting ready to go to a party and Shruti said,”Hey Po...wear that Pink Chudhidar of yours...really suits you....” admiring herself in the mirror wearing a new dress herself.... Pooja said, “No sis I am not coming...got a lot of school work to do......you people enjoy.” “Mom, Pooja says she is not gonna come....” said Shruti. Their Mother entered and asked why and Pooja said the same thing. Her mother thought for a few seconds and said, “It’s not a really important thing anyway...you can stay but don’t waste your time.....we will be late so don’t wait for us...have dinner and sleep....lock the door from inside.....we have a spare key.....” Pooja wanted to say, ”Mom how old do you think I am.” But didn’t say anything cause she was too happy she was getting extra time to spend with her Beggar Prince. A few minutes later their parents and sister went away and after waiting for another 15 min to see if they are coming b...

Morning arrived finally and Pooja woke up excited, quickly got ready to go to Verma Coaching Centre. She took the gift along with her..... ” What should I say to him....should I just tell him a Happy Birthday or something else......” were her thoughts as she was on the way to her coaching centre. Then something struck her.... she should have wished him at 12 am but the biggest problem to that was that she didn’t have his phone no. And they were supposed to be ‘Lovers’ She felt kinda stupid for not asking his phone no. But then she satisfied her conscience by thinking “He didn’t ask my no. either.....” In between all these thoughts she reached Verma Coaching Centre, there were still 15 minutes left for classes to begin and still no sign of Ravi. The bell rang signalling the commencement of classes. Teju who was sitting Pooja said, “I guess he won’t be coming today....he is usually early you know....anyway what do you want him for now? You know how things are here....” “Ya ya...you ar...

On the way to the mall Rose asked Pooja how much her mom gave her and Pooja told sadly how her mom gave her only 200 bucks and how she had to add all her savings. “What do you want to shop?” questioned Rose to which Pooja replied, “My friend’s birthday is coming up and I wanted to buy a gift.” “Boy or girl?” asked Rose. “Boy” said Pooja Rose didn’t dwell more on who that person was but changed the topic and asked, “What are you planning to buy for him.” “Don’t know Rose, I’ve never bought a gift for a boy....what do you think I should give him?” said Pooja “I don’t know either but if you wanna take my advice....make it something personalized.” advised Rose “Personalized in what way?” questioned Pooja. “Hmm...personalized means...it should show your effort in that gift.” said Rose in a matter of fact way. “What do you want me to do....put my sweat on it?” said Pooja a little annoyed. Both the girls laughed for a second. Then Rose continued, “No what I meant was it should not be like yo...

Part 36

The next day as usual Pooja woke up early... got ready and went to Verma Coaching Center and found Teju sitting at the 5th bench, Ravi sitting at the last bench.... then she told to Teju about the last night’s events and how Shreya was unable to understand her properly..... Teju too sided with Pooja and told her to take that Shreya lite.... Then again after 3 hours Pooja found herself getting ready for school and strangely she didn’t feel like going to it..... cause Shreya would be there but after a while she thought, “Why shouldn’t I go if she would be there?” and boldly stepped into the school premises but a strange feeling gripped her.... she felt as if she did not have any friends in there and what all Shreya must have told about her to everyone else.... The class was quite full and nobody showed any sudden change in their demeanor when she entered the class, so she thought Shreya mustn’t have told anything.... then after a few minutes their class teacher Savita entered and made a...
