Chapter 26 - 20 March

So I remember two months ago I had a dream , it was like

I was walking down a dimly lit alley and after walking for a while I called Ren, because I was not feeling safe.

Two minutes later he came with my cousin behind him on his bike.

It was such a short dream. Then I woke up I don't remember anything before or after that .

And one was like

My sister and I are getting ready fir school, with! Ren waiting outside for us. Then suddenly he said "I am leaving or I will get late" and left a I was getting frustrated that because of my sister mow I can't go with him.

I will tell you what happened at my former teacher's wedding reception (its like a after wedding party).

My pov

We reached the avenue on 9 pm and I saw Shifu standing at the entrance with her aunt. I greeted her aunt and we went in. Then after 10 minutes later Ren , PJ and some of our classmates and our teacher's students came. I noticed that later , that Ren was looking at me from above of the boy standing in front of him,' Such a clumsy way of peeking' I thought . He was peeking at me and was looking like he was tiptoeing.

Then we moved towards the buffet, because Shifu said she was hungry.

When we moved from thee all the boys with Ren stood at our place then when I glanced at him it looked like he was searching for someone and two minutes later I saw him staring at me . Then he looked away, when I told Shifu , she said she already saw him looking at me thrice , I started laughing then she too.

Later we went to meet our teacher , and while coming back I 'unintentionally' ignored Rudra. Though it looked like he wanted to talk. But maybe I ignored him intentionally.Well whatever.

Flashback over.

I remember the first time he came to attend classes, he looked so innocent. I mean , our teacher lived in my neighbourhood, so he knew me well . And I was attending his classes from two years, so when I reached there he was busy talking with someone and Rudra was waiting while sitting on the couch, he thought I was new too, so he moved to give me space. I ignored him and asked (let's call him Mr.Bean) if I should go upstairs, since his set up was up there, he said "go and take him with you", i went upstairs and he followed. He looked dumb rather than innocent that day.

Then Ren joined. At his first day when he came, he whispered to Rudra "Is that Elisa?" (I don't know, that's a hunch because ) Rudra replied aloud "Yes ,she IS Elisa" I thought "He might be cursing you for saying that out loud" I just ignored then as usual.

Then one day I was I'm so much daze that my attention went only at the two of them when Ren said,"So what? We'vebeen together since childhood, that makes us bestfriends. " I didn't understand if he was talking indirectly to me or to Rudra , because Shifu, them both and I are really studied together since childhood.

And before that they both were arguing about something then suddenly Rudra asked, "Hey,Elisa did we tell him to leave ouf section? "

To which (even though i didn't understand anything) I replied "No"

Then he turned to Ren and said,"See, you went there on your own , we never told you to leave."

But I did thought I heard " you didn't even stop me" or something.

Although there are things that need to be sort out , he still used to look at me and I caught hum several times. It can't be a coincidence foe umpteenth times.i also might have started liking him because Shifu said that he likes me , and in the process of psychologically denying it I might have started liking him then.

In 11th grade we were watching a conference on Exams and Education , and Ren was supposed to put some files in our class' cupboard.To be able to watch the broadcast on the projector we had to close the doors and windows. I with Shifuas sitting at the first desk,near the door . As he left after keeping the Files, it took him a while so , the teacher told me to close the door, as I was , I saw him coming back from the gap, so instead if closing I opened it for him, since I thought he saw that I saw him coming and that his hands were full , I can open it for him.

I did. And then when he as going back, from my peripheral sight I saw that he looked my way, then went out. I noticed that , so did Shifu she teased me about it and also told me that when I opened the door for him he smilled. And I thought what a useless fellow a girl has to open the door for him, twice at that. Anyways he's a tiring person and an idiot. Not academically , bit he still is.
