It was raining outside when me and Sushant called Navya out of her class and down to the art room . Bhagat , the art teacher's assistant and also my younger brother had got the keys of the art room and after Navya Sushant and i had gone inside , he locked it and would open it on receiving a call from Sushant. Navya was told that the art teacher had called her and upon seeing that no art teacher was around and Bhagat locking the door she thought of screaming as unpleasant and negative thoughts whizzed her mind. Sushant acted fast and caught hold of Navya by her waist and put his hand on her mouth , the sight of seeing Sushant press Navya against him deserved a whistle but i controlled my emotions and only winked at them. it was my turn to speak but my throat stopped working as my mind started to work on imagining horrors of all kinds : refusal , denial ,betrayal , being beaten up and further a long list. speaking about Anya was something i had never done. i never spoke the beautiful feelings in mind for Anya to anyone but Sushant who was like my other half , in a brother to brother way. Sushant gestured me to hold Navya back when he saw my face freeze. we exchanged our positions and Sushant revealed everything to her , i let go of Navya after few minutes when she seemed calm enough to listen. Sushant was always relaxed around Navya , dreamy actually. I always noticed and sometimes thought that my best friend had a crush on Navya. Sushant took only 15 minutes to explain everything to Navya , from my love to my feelings to my decency to my class mark sheet to my pleading. She told us to wait as she thought over it. i wondered what if she refused , my dreams and hopes would be shattered alongside refusal . i nudged sushant in fear and he replied calmly that it would all work out. sushant wanted to become a mad physiotherapist when he grew up , not mad but that was what i used to draw from physiological studies. but in reality he did have great comforting skills. he was actually the best pal someone could have , i would have surely hugged him if navya was not there at the moment , he was so helpful all along. She looked at us now and straightened herself a bit. my heart was in my mouth by the time she replied , i recall the exact lines " Jiju..It wont be possible " she said and gave a huge smile. Sushant also jumped in excitement. What an idiot i was ..i didn’t understand what she meant , i took it as a refusal..Seeing me sadden down Navya stared at sushant who was nodding vigorously and pushed navya towards me , “ I called u jiju u dumbo “ she said and hugged me tightly. I understood that moment and I felt the world revolve around me..i had accomplished the first stage..i went and hugged Sushant as well , I could swear I saw Sushant’s eye twitch when I told him to call Bhagat and didn’t let him hug Navya . But it didn’t matter at that time..My angel would be with me and that was all I cared for.
