Relationship Status - Part 2

“Akruti”, such a lovely name, isn’t it? I was talking with myself when I went to bed on that day. Still I was not able to forget her cute smile and sweet voice.

Next day I went to school and sat on the bench with my new group. I was sitting with one guy and one girl on small bench while others were sitting on bigger bench which was adjacent to ours. Akruti was sitting on next bench with other friends. Class started in as usual way and lectures were going on one by one. The day passed and I was happy for my new friends. This went for couple of days.

I was happy for getting new friends but I didn’t get chance to talk with Akruti since few days. As she was sitting on other bench, I used to talk with her just in the interval or at the end of the day. Our discussion was limited to only hi, hello and how’s you!! One day, I didn’t know why but I took a secret glimpse of her. Her sitting position was in such a way that she couldn’t notice that. I felt very good after taking glimpse of her and did it couple of more times on that day. Now, it became routine for me. I was paying my full attention to the class but whenever I got chance, I used to take a secret glimpse of her. It was really thrilling moment to look at her secretly.

This went properly for couple of day. One day, I was looking at her and she caught me red handed. I was looking at her and she suddenly turned her face towards me. I was not sure about her reaction but she gave me a BIG smile looking at me and turned away her face!!

At time of leaving the class, I went to meet her to say as usual bye. I asked her why she gave big smile to me when she caught me looking at her. She said, she knew from very second day that I was staring at her and she was acting like she didn’t know about it. I got shock now. I said, then why did you give big smile to me when I looked at you. She said, I don’t know why but I felt good when you were staring at me so I gave you smile. Now, that was double shock for me as I knew that she had already one very good friend to whom she was kind of close, Aditya, who was sitting next to him.

Aditya was the smartest boy in the class. He was very good in study as well as other co curricular activities. He and Akruti were in this school since last two years and they had very good bondage. Even though they had such a good relationship, she gave me big smile rather than getting angry on me when she caught me secretly looking at her!! I was very happy on that day and was thinking about her words again and again about how she felt when I was looking at her.
