Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Sheila's POV:

Just three hours then I will be free from these exams.

And---

Semester holidays will kiss my soul.

Flipping the page one by one, I recalled the portion of the important question as getting myself prepared for the last exam of this semester.

Today's subject is Engineering Graphics but I am not good at this field. Being a genius Harry taught me about how to angle the design and picture the front view, top view, and end view but these geometric features are totally confusing.

Somehow with the help of Harry, I managed to learn the basic which will be very useful for me to pass the exam.

Hmmm...Time flew so fast.

The thinking of him brought a smile to my face. A complete stranger became a good companion. It will only happen in TV series but sometimes it is possible in real life too.

Most of the girls attained me just to shamelessly talk about him and to ask his number like I'm his personal bodyguard. This behaviour of them eventually gave me a headache and a little bit of jealousy too.

But whenever I told him about these girls, he as a holy saint ignores the topic like he didn't find any interest in this, which made my heart rest in place.

We used to meet in the cafeteria or playground when we get our free time and most of the time we ended up in a classical restaurant to have dinner.

At first, I was hesitant to go with him when he asked me out for a date but his every tendency made me feel comfortable.

He didn't even ask for my mobile number instead he took my phone and saved his number like he owns my phone.

He is so nice to me but not to others. Most of the girls shoot a dagger towards my direction whenever we hook up and truth to be told I was kinda getting used to this.

One day Karl came to my class and dragged me out like he usually do but there my saviour saved me from that arrogant Devil boy. They also encountered a heavy fight and ended up grounded for a week.

That whole week we spent some time in the park late in the evening and shared our past life memories.

He is not an open type, I think. Because whenever I spoke he listened carefully like he was enjoying whatever he was hearing. But he didn't say too much about his life.

It's like he is hiding something from me but I didn't push him to open his mind for me. If he was not comfortable with sharing his thoughts, then I am not going to ask. But I have a curiosity about what would be he hiding.

After the encounter with Harry, whenever Karl comes under my view I could see his body tense visibly like he was controlling himself.

I don't know what happened between them but he kinda keeps a distance from me as if he didn't, his life would be in hell and I'm more than pleased about that.

One day, we planned to go to the club as Quin insisted. Being with them I felt safe and agreed to go there. But to my discomfort there I saw most of the teenagers were drinking and riding each other bodies. Harry noticed my uneasiness and dragged me out of the club and drove his car to the beach.

I surprisingly 'aww!' at him. He remembered my likes and dislikes! We two spent our lovely moment at the beach as lacing our fingers like we were afraid to get lost in the crowd.

After that, we ate 'Panipuri' which is famous in North India. One in a lifetime I had Panipuri with my family when we went to our relative house to attend the marriage function and I instantly fell in love with this food but he looked like not interested in his food. So I grabbed the plate from him and brought him an ice cream which he gladly accepted.

I know he is not Indian, so these types of food might not comfortable for him. I have noticed many times that he doesn’t add too much spicy to his food.

When he eats anything too spicy, his ears turned into a shade of red. He and spicy food are like east and west pole, they never attached to each other.

Last Saturday we went to the theatre which Kevin insisted on. When we were at the ticket counter to get for our tickets, someone slapped my back but the next moment he was pulled away by the furious Harry and the guy went unconscious by the strong punch on his face.

Sometimes I wonder why he is behaving these ways. The guy just slapped my back; nothing more crime but he almost killed him on that day.

I was mad at him for what he did to that poor guy but he didn't feel sorry for. Such a short-tempered boy. But I can't stay any longer mad at him.

Whenever I see him I feel the day of my life getting bright. I don't know what kind of feelings I have towards him and it's burning me alive. Does he think the same about me like how do I feel?

The pitch of the ringing sound snapped me out of my own trance. That's it. I will be free after three hours and I'm so delight to see my parents.

After a long time, I'm going to visit my parents again. The thinking of seeing them brought some positive kind of energy to my body with that I closed my book and entered the exam hall.

Harry's POV:

Today she is going to her hometown for a vacation. She seemed so happy to visit them again. And-- I couldn't able to read a bit of sadness on her face. She loved her parents that much. She is a family oriented girl who will do anything to please her parents.

I learnt more stuff about her for these past few months. She is very good at hiding her emotions. No doubt, I am going to miss her. But-- What about her? Will she miss me?

No way.

I slumped my shoulder in defeat. She considered me a good friend like how she saw Quinn and Kevin but here I am thinking of her as my girl.

"Bye, take care." Quinn waved when she entered the bus which takes almost 18 hours to reach her hometown. I slightly nodded my head when our eyes met and there-- I saw some unknown utterance.

What it would be?

After a minute the bus took off and I missed her already.

"Harry, what happened to you? Why are you not eating? Is anything bothering you?" Quinn asked a random question one by one.

"Quinn, it's nothing. I'm not hungry that's all. Can you please keep quiet for a minute.!" I almost yelled at her.

God!!! What is happening to me?!

We are in our private jet ready to go for New York. But I am not interested to go. If someone had told me you will refuse to go to your hometown where you belonged, definitely, I would have punched their face.

But now---

I don't want to go.

I am behaving like a lovesick puppy who lost his owner's attention.

I really miss you, Sheila.

Whenever she opens her mind with me, I felt like heaven. Whenever she smiles, it automatically brought a smile to my face.

She always does whatever her heart prefers; she never forces anyone.

She must be every man's dream girl but she doesn't know her actual integrity. For her, she is just a plain girl. Not to be surprised why Karl needs her but I'm not going to share her with anyone.

I need her. I need her presence beside me.

"It's because of Sheila, isn't it?" Quinn dared to ask me again. I shook my head before heading to my room but she followed me there too.

"I know you have a feeling for her. Admit it Harry" She bluntly stated.

"It's nothing like that Quinn, Please leave me alone." I almost pleaded.

"Harry, I know you very well. So don't be smart. Just spill the beans," She demanded.

This girl! I let out a sigh of frustration.

"Okay..." I gave up.

"Yes! I have a feeling for her. When I first saw her I decided that she is my future but I can't--" I trailed off.

"Why you can't Harry? If you have feelings for her then just tell her. What if she has the same feelings for you?" Her eyebrows shot up.

Does she know it is very easy to ask questions?

"Quinn, you know me very well. How I am supposed to do. What if I hurt her? What if she knows the truth and leaves me? At least I want her friendship." Thinking of her leaving me to send a shiver down to my whole body.

"I don't think so." She shrugged her shoulder.

'What do you mean, Quinn?" I asked her impatiently.

"She too has a feeling for you, haven't you see that in her eyes? Whenever you guys are together her face lit up with happiness. So go and tell her how you feel about her before it gets delay."

"What if I had a girlfriend before?" I sat on my bed and facepalmed.

Quinn took a seat beside me and patted my shoulder. "You didn't commit any serious relationship in your past, Harry." I wish you are telling me the truth.

"As you say if you had one, then she would have been with you when you met the accident but you were alone at that time." I nodded my head as a compliment.

"If you really have a feeling for her then don't waste your time, just tell her. She is perfect for you." With that, she left the room leaving me alone to take my decision.
