I went out and saw our driver I called him and told him to take out the car.
“Hey come in” he said. I opened the door of the car and sat on the back seat the driver started the car
C h a p t e r 10
We reached at the main road.
“Where you will go” my driver asked me.
“Take the car to my girlfriend’s house” I replied.
“Ok I will take you there” he said.
“For what purpose are we going there?” he asked me
“Because I have a date with her today” I replied.
I called up Sandhya.
“Hey are you ready?” I asked her.
“Yes I am but where are you?” she asked.
“I am coming; you come out of your house” I said.
“Yes I am coming you come fast” she replied.
“Take the car to the flowers shop I have to buy some flowers” I said to the driver.
“Oh! Are the flowers, for your girlfriend?” he asked.
“Don’t talk in front of her this nonsense. Take the car to the flowers shop” I said. Then the driver took the car to the flowers shop and I went to the shop and bought some fresh and beautiful orchids I went directly to Sandhyas house and my driver stopped the car in front of Sandhya. She looked at me and smiled. I opened the door of the car and then she came inside the car. she was wearing a deep red coloured one piece which was knee length and had straps on the shoulders. She had left her hair open. She was looking ravishing. She came inside and I gave her the flowers.
“Hey Sandhya you are looking very beautiful” I said by giving the flowers.
“Thanks by the way today you are also looking very dashing” she replied.
We reached at the restaurant and then I and Sandhya got down from the car. We went inside the restaurant and sat near a window.
“Hey what will you have” I said to Sandhya by pushing the menu in front of her. The waiter came to take the order.
“Bring two plate palak paneer one musor dal and two parathas each” she said. The waiter went by taking our order.
“Hey how is your study going on?” Sandhya asked me.
“Well its going on how is yours” I said.
“I don’t know for me this time the exam came so fast and till now I am not prepared” she replied.
“Hey are you in love with someone” I asked.
“No I am not but sometimes I feel I am in love with someone. and are you in love with someone” she asked.
“The same condition happens with me” I said.
“I think you like Celina so whenever I see you, you always talk with her” Sandhya said.
“When did I talked to her” I said
“I know you love her that day when we were fighting you were so sad when she got hurt” Sandhya said.
“Hey whatever that day you were angry at her was very dangerous” I said.
“Yes I think that day my BP was very high” she said with a smile.
The waiter came and served us.
“Hey Subas is so cool no;” Sandhya said.
“Yes you are right he is just a cool boy” I said.
“Do you know Suras likes Preya and they both like each other, it is just like comparing a banana with a big watermelon” she said by making a jock.
We were talking in this way that at that time our bill came I put the bill on the pay book.
“You just wait I am coming from the washroom” Sandhya said. Then by telling this she went to the washroom I called Gig.
“Hey now what to do we finished our dating” I said to Gig in hurry in a silent voice.
“Hey having fun ha there” he said.
“Tell me first what to do now” I asked him.
“Now you both go from there and leave her to her house then as I told you, you just kiss her fingers” he said.
“Hey-hey-hey she is coming I will talk you latter” I said in hurry.
I kept the phone in my pocket and then Sandhya came.
“Hey you should come on my birthday ok” she sat on her chair
“Ok I will be coming but at what time” I asked her.
“I will tell you the time on; Monday” she said.
We came out of the restaurant and went to my car. I and Sandhya were just talking and after a while we reached to her house then at that time she took the flowers which I gave and opened the door of the car and then she was just going to go that I called her then she looked back with a pretty smile which I always liked.
“What?” she said. And I came near to her then I just hold her hands.
“I will remember this day even I am old and to make this day more remember able” I said and then I just kissed her hands.
“This day now will be more remember able for both of us” I said with a smile by looking her.
“I will also never forget this beautiful day” she said with a smile by looking at me. Then we just looked to each other and stayed.
“I have to go now see you on the Monday ok then bye” she said.
“Bye, have a sweet dream” I said.
And then she went to her house then I also went to my car.

I came to the car and sat on the front seat. The driver looked at me “You are very fast ha. Kiss on the very first date. Great going”
“I don’t like to be so fast but my love made me so fast that today I have went with her on a date” I said.
“How was the evening with your friends?” mom said.
“Yes mom it was good” I replied.
“Sandip you should start your studies now because your exam is nearing and so you should stop roaming” mom said seriously.
“Yes mom but I will go to Sandhya’s house on Monday because she has invited me on her birthday so it will be my last roaming and then I will start my studies”
“Ok then you can go but it will be the last” mom said.
“Yes my mom I agree” I said.
I started studying without any other thoughts in my mind. After a while my mom called me for dinner. I went and das my dinner. I decided to watch TV post dinner. As it was Sunday the next day my mom also didn’t stop me from watching TV late at night.
I came in my room to sleep. After lying down on my bed I again started thinking about the kiss. What if she feels bad about my act? Did I do anything wrong in kissing her hand? I fell asleep thinking about it.

Monday arrived. It was Sandhya’s birthday I was getting ready to go to school.
“Mom you don’t buy any gift for Sandhya. I will get something for her while coming back from school” I said.
“Ok” she replied.
I left for school with my friends. As usual I was waiting for Sandhya near our daily meeting spot.
“Hey happy birthday Sandhya” I said.
“Thank you” Sandhya replied.
“Hey you have to come in the evening for the party” she reminded me once again.
“Yes I will come” I replied.
After the school got over I came home and had my lunch. I didn’t know at what time I was supposed to go to Sandhya’s place for the party. So I messaged her
“Hey at what time should I come to your house?”
“Reach at 6”
Mom came in my room and I asked her for money to buy a gift for Sandhya. I went to the gift shop in the market. I saw a showpiece of a girl standing and waving her hands freely in the air. I thought that gift to be perfect for Sandhya. I wrapped it up nicely in a pink coloured gift wrapper and attached a Cadbury on the top.
I went to Sandhya’s house. “Hey why did you come so late? Come on now come inside everyone is already here” she said. She was looking very beautiful that day.
I went inside and gave her the gift. I saw many of my classmates over there. A few of her friends who were not from our school were also present. I saw Ishant and went and sat with him on the sofa.
The party was very nice. We all we
re enjoying ourselves dancing and singing. Sandhya got the cake after a while. We all sang the birthday song for her while she was cutting the cake. We all had our dinner and left after a while.
I reached home and freshened up.
“How was the party?” mom asked me.
“It was very nice” I said.
I went to my room and started studying.
Exams were approaching. I started studying with full concentration.
After a few days our exam started. I messaged all my friends wishing them all the best for the exams.
It was the day of my exam. I took bath and went to the school.
“Best of luck” my mom said.
“Thank you mom” I said.
I went to school in my car. Today was my Mathematics paper.
I reached school and went to the notice board to have a look at the sitting arrangement. I went to my allotted classroom and took the question paper. A few questions in the beginning were easy. Then the paper became a bit tough. As soon as the exam got over I went near Sandhya.
“How was the exam?” she asked me.
“Yes quite good how was yours” I asked.
“Yes my paper was good but not so good” she replied.
“How was the examination?” the driver asked me on my way towards home.
“It was good” I replied.
I reached home and ate my lunch. I again went to study and then my mom came.
“Sandip how was your exam?” my mom asked.
“It was good” I replied.
My examination got over in a few days. It went off quite well.
“Hey today will you come with me to the Expo?” I asked Sandhya.
“Ok, I also want to go there. I will come there but at what time?” Sahdhya asked me.
“Can you come at 5:30” I replied.
“Ok I will come” she replied
“Hey today again I have a date with Sandhya cool no?” I said to the driver.
“Ok so shall I come to pick you up?” the driver asked me.
“Yes why not” I said.
I came home and my mom opened the door.
“Hey how was your exam?” mom asked me.
“It was good mom” I replied.
I went to my room, freshened up and had my lunch. I received a message from Sandhya.
“hey I am ready. I will reach there in 15 minutes”
I replied
Hey just text me once you reach there.
Then I went to my mom.
“Mom I want to go to the expo today as my exam is over can I go?” I asked my mom.
“Ya beta sure but don’t be too late” she replied
“Can you please lend me 500 rupees?” I requested my mom.
“Ya here take it” she said handing me a 500 rupee note.
C h a p t e r 13
Mom went to her room and I got ready for my second date with my love. I got ready and took money from mom. I decided to call up Gig to take tips from him.
“Hey Gig what are you doing?” I asked him.
“Just playing video game and what are you doing” he said
“I am getting ready for my date. It’s my second date and I don’t have any idea what to do” I almost panicked.
“Don’t do anything that you did on your first date. By the way, where are you taking her?” he asked me.
“We are going to an Expo” I replied.
“Okay listen, firstly take her to a shop in the expo and buy her something that she likes. Don’t sit at one place instead walk and talk. It will help you, trust me. While walking take her to food court. This much is enough for this date. And yes, no goodbyes like last time. Keep it simple. All the best buddy” he said.
“I will call you later goodbye” I said.
I was sitting in the drawing room and waiting for Sandhyas message. Within 10 minutes I received a message from her “Hey I have reached here… come soon…
waiting for u in the parking area…”
“Mom I am going” I said to my mom.
“Ok bye” my mom said.
I went out and called out to our car driver.
“Hey lets go” I said.
On my way to the expo my cell phone started ringing. It was Celina’s call.
“Hey Sandip no calls not even a single message. What happened? What are you doing?” Celina with a soft voice asked me.
“Just going out” I replied.
“How was your exam?” she asked.
“It was good and how was yours?” I asked.
“Not much good” she said.
While we were still talking, I reached to the parking stand and saw Sandhya.
“Ok then Celina I will call you later” I said.
I put the phone on silent mode and came out of the car.
“Hey best of luck” my driver said with a smile. I went near Sandhya she was wearing a white colored top and a demine short skirt. She was looking mind blowing.
“Hey Sandip this time I think my exam was not so good” Sandhya said.
“I think my exam also was not so good” I replied.
“Yes this time I think our paper was little hard. Whatever leave it now.” She said
“Hey I am feeling very afraid for this examination papers. I think this time my marks will be very less” I said.
“Hey leave that topic lets come to another topic I think now a days you are always talking to Celina” she said.
.
“No it’s not like that. Why you always think that I talk with her?” I said.
“I think you like her” Sandhya said.
“No it’s not like that; let’s go to that shop and get something for us” I said.
“Hey do you need something from here?” I asked her.
“Yes I need that soft candy and those balloons” she replied.
I went there and bought her those balloons and soft candy.
“Hey Sandhya lets go to that canteen and eat something” I said. We went to a canteen near to it.
“Bring two cups of coffee and some popcorn” Sandhya said to a waiter.
“Also bring samosa” I said.
“Sandip that day on my party Ishant had proposed to Nisha” Sandhya said
“Did Nisha accepted his proposal?” I asked.
“Yes she accepted his proposal. So lucky no” Sandhya said with a smile.
The waiter brought what we ordered then after that he went.
“Yes they both are really lucky. It’s so nice to know that the one you love also loves you. By the way when did all this happen?” I asked.
“This happened when you left from there. He proposed to her outside the house. It was very romantic.” Sandhya said. I sipped my coffee from my cup.
“Why didn’t you tell this news to me earlier?” I asked.
“I thought you knew it” she said.
I gave the bill and we both left.
“Hey Sandhya come I will drop you to your house” I said.
She came with me then we both sat in the car.
“Take the car to Sandhya’s house” I said to the driver
We reached to Sandhya’s house and she got down.
“Bye, see you in the school” she said.
“Ok bye, are you coming to school on Monday on your cycle?” I asked.
“Yes why not” she replied.
“Ok then bye” I said. We left from there.
“Today no kiss to you girlfriend?” my driver asked.
“No because this kiss only suits at some places” I said.
“You seem to be expert in these matters ha” the driver winked at me.
C h a p t e r 14
The day passed with no productive work. On Monday I went to school. On the way to school, “Hey I think today we may get our papers” Sandhya said.
“What today only we will get all our papers?” I asked her.
“Yes today itself we will get all our papers” Sandhya said.
On hearing that tension started
building up in my head. I became nervous just at the thought of getting the papers.
First was our Hindi class. The teacher came in the class with a bundle of answer sheets in his hand. Whole class was silent. He started distributing papers roll number wise. I got my paper. I had obtained only 63 marks out of 100. I felt bad. I saw Ishants paper, he had obtained 94 marks.
“Hey Sandip how much have you obtained” Sandhya asked.
“First you tell your marks” I said to her
“86” she replied.
“Now tell me your marks” she said.
“My marks are not that good Sandhya” I said.
She was pestering me continuously to tell her my marks. One by one we got all our papers. All the teachers told me to improve my performance and concentrate on my studies.
In the recess also Sandhya kept on asking me my marks but I avoided her somehow.
I was in a very bad mood the whole day. On our way back home Sandhya said
“Hey Sandip I am really sorry to ask you about your marks so many times in the class. I know your score. It’s not good. But now onwards if you give your complete attention to your studies I am damn sure that you will score very well in the next exam. You have that caliber in you. I am always there to help you”
“Hey thanks for your counseling. I promise you that next time I will be the A grad student in all the subjects” I said.
“I know you can do it” she said with a smile.
