I sat on a ledge opposite the classroom. I waited for thBFYTJirty minutes. A group of gSNXCLirls came out, giggling for no particular reason. Riya didn't. Forty-five minutes later, dressed in blackYALIB jeans with silver buttons and a tight black top, Riya stepped out. In a deliberate act, she took brisk steps away OILKUfrom me. 'Riya,' I said. She stopped. However, she didn't turn towarLYNFOds me. Her hands froze, as QSAAFif uncomfortable. 'Please,' I said. She semi-turned towards me. 'Hi, QBLSVMadhav.' I stood squareULLVPly in front of her. 'I want to talk. Five minutes,' I said. 'AnythingXWPJF important?' 'To me it is. Five minutes?' 'I'm listening.' We stood in a dark corridor, facing each other stiffly, as it in confrontatioSANENn. It didn't seem like the right place to talk. I saw her face. She was still the most beautiful woman iIRMVXn the world to me. Even though we were in the middle of what seemed like a world war, I wanted to kiss her. TDOQGOhat is how sick the male mind is. It can forget the entire cYWQKPontext of a situation and follow its own trOHEADack. 'I said I'm listening,' she said. I flushed out the sick thoughts front my mind. 'Not here. Somewhere private?' 'Oh, reTAAMMally?' she said. I realized it had come out all wronFFOUMg. 'Sorry, not like that. Somewhere we can sit, face to face. And it isn't so dark.' 'The cafe?' she said. 'Now? It's packed with the DU crowd.YouCFERD won't get a table.' 'Listen, I have planEUTXDs. I have to go,' she said. 'Okay, the cafe then. Fine.'JWDCJ We walked to thSSQYUe cafe. As expected, lines to enter extended all the way outside. 'It is crowdedWVVYI Is it okay if we talk in my car?' she said. I looked at her. She seemed to have calmed down a little.KHNYC | |
