Chapter 14 (It's Her)

Ishan was walking with Ly to school at early morning and was excited to meet Zara and Miyu and talk with them in the lunch period, his only reason for school were they both only. He also realised that and smiled with a sweat, he should also focus on his school and studies.

With the thoughts, Ishan didn't even noticed but he dropped Ly to her classroom and reached his class.

He opened his eyes and everyone was staring at him, he didn't knew why they were staring but they ignored them and went on his seat.

His path to his last seat was short, he looked and the girl was sitting on her and looking like she's waiting for someone.

Ishan smiled and sat on his seat, "Good morning."

The girl had never spoken a word before to anyone, not even to Ishan due to her shy behaviour, but she finally spoke something to Ishan, "... H... Hi..."

Ishan was surprised that she can say but smiled, "So you can speak? Anyways, I am Ishan, and yours?"

And finally the girl showed her whole face which widened Ishan's eyes... She was pretty and her hairs were long, and this face recalled Ishan about someone... Someone to whom he couldn't accept but she accepted that, the truth.

"M... Mahi..."

And Ishan was left stunned and frozen with widened eyes and open mouth... '... Mahi?'

Mahi looked at Ishan and by seeing Ishan's this behaviour, she asked with worries, "... Are you alright? Did I said something wrong?"

Ishan smiled and turned away, looking at the desk and replied, "Nothing... Your face just recalled me about someone..."

But Mahi felt sad, "I... I am sorry if you are hurt..."

Ishan laughed gently, "No, no. Everything is fine... I am just a little bit surprised that I will meet her again."

But still Mahi was confused... But Ishan comforted that he is alright and there's nothing to worry about.

"Are you fine now?" Ishan asked politely.

And Mahi replied calmly, "Yeah, and thanks for saving me yesterday..."

But now Ishan felt scared, Zara...

"It was not just me, there was also my one senior Zara. She also helped a lot."

"I see, then I will thank her as well..."

"Yeah..."

The scene remain intense and silent for ten minutes, no one had any word to talk about.

Ishan asked from System in his mind, 'I am sure this is Mahi, but to just make sure... What's your view?'

<...>

System remain silent for ten seconds which made Ishan sweating... He will believe in his heart even if System denies.

"Yes yes yes!!!!!!" Ishan congratulated in his imagination, the ten seconds were serious, but he surpassed it.

Ishan finally got a topic and asked, "Do you play chess?"

Mahi was surprised by hearing it, "You know chess? I am really surprised..."

Mahi looked down on her desk table and continued with a smile, "Yes, I do play chess. It's fun, isn't it?"

Ishan smiled, "Yeah, the senior who helped us also plays. You should play with him."

But Mahi started sweating, "I have no guts to play at front on front. I can't."

Ishan was a little bit surprised, 'Mahi was not this much shy... But I am really lucky to meet her again... Just I don't break her heart again..."

Ma'am Nahi arrived and the classes started.

The lunch period started and Ishan stood from his seat and streched his back with feeling lazy and yawned.

Mahi also stood and Ishan looked at her.

"Will you not introduce me to your senior?" Mahi wanted to thank Zara as well and Ishan smiled and took out his lunch boxes and started walking with Mahi to Zara's classroom.

"Did you joined this school this year only?" Ishan asked with curosity.

Mahi smiled, "Yeah, my mother moved here so I have to change the school as well."

Ishan remembered the past life of Mahi and it was really painful and sad... He prayed that in this life Mahi achieves everything she wants.

"And you?" Mahi asked next.

"I have to skip one year, last year, due to a reason but from the last six years, I am here only."

Ishan was hesitating to tell his past that he had no friends in his life before this school session begin and he can remember no one of his former classmate.

Again the journey became speechless, no one had any word to talk about but everything was going smoothly and the scene was complete calm and peaceful.

Ishan and Mahi reached the classroom and Ishan stated, "By the way, her name is Zara... I forgot to tell about that."

And Ishan opened the door and Zara was sitting all alone, watching the sky through the window and bring bored.

"No one came together..." Zara's no friend came together which made her sad.

"Good morning Senior."

But Zara bloomed a smile by hearing the voice and turned towards Ishan with anger, "Don't call me Senior!!!!!"

Ishan laughed sweetly and stopped.

Zara looked here and there and asked, "Are you going to stand there only or give me your lunch?"

Ishan looked back, confused that Zara didn't saw Mahi and Mahi was nowhere. She was hiding behind Mahi, she's extremely shy and couldn't show her face.

Ishan looked back and Mahi was still hiding, "About what are you afraid? She will not take your lunch Mahi."

And Ishan turned back and Mahi also moved, still standing behind him but now she's finally caught by Ishan's great plan.

Zara finally saw Mahi, but she looking opposite. Still unaware that she's caught.

"You are caught Mahi," Ishan said and Mahi finally realised the scene, "You can't hide anymore. Introduce yourself to my senior."

"You are sweet Ishan, but how many times I will need to tell you to stop calling me senior."

Ishan smiled and made Mahi turned. Mahi immediately looked down with shyness and blushed cheeks.

Zara was surprised by seeing her... "Are you fine now?"
