13) Samar's feelings for Niyati

Author's POV :

"What happened Niyati?", Smaran was calling her but she was lost in some other thoughts. He flaps his hand in front of her face and she comes out of the land of her thoughts.

"Are you okay?", He asked expressing concern.

"Yes sir", She replied quickly.

"Now are you telling me or not?", He asked with great expectation.

"My father has been out of station for the last few days and I'm missing him a lot so I just feel sad, nothing more", She lied to him with a sweet smile.

"Are you sure there is nothing else", He asked again because he could see the lie in her eyes.

"Yes sir, nothing else, nothing else ", She muttered the last two words.

"Okay", He smiled and left the talk as he didn't want to stress her anymore.

Both were looking into each other's eyes. It is as if the eyes of both are talking to each other.

"Please tell me Niyati, what is the real thing?", His eyes were repeating these words constantly.

"If I could tell, I would, but I can't. If I may tell by mistake it will destroy the happiness of both of us and our recent relationship. Please understand sir", Both kept talking like this for a few minutes that suddenly Mitali reached there while panting heavily.

"Mitali are you alright?", As soon as Niyati saw her panting, she expressed concern and asked.

"Yes, I'm absolutely fine. I need to talk to you about something important", She replied while breathing heavily.

" Tell", Niyati replied hurriedly, but Mitali looked at Smaran and he realized that she couldn't speak in front of him what she wanted to tell her.

"I guess I should go now", Smaran walked away from there, smiling and Mitali sat near her.

"Now say what is the matter, why have you come running as if something is very big?", Niyati asked while being confused.

"You have rightly said that this thing is very big for you", Mitali replied while making her more confused.

"I don't understand you at all. Tell me directly what you want to say", Niyati asked making a puzzled face.

"I want to say that today when you ran away and came to the ground, I also wanted to come with you, but Samar took me to talk with him", Mitali stopped while speaking.

"So what happened? Anyway, he was trying to talk to you for a few days, but you were not talking to him", She replied.

"I was not talking to him because I knew somewhere what he wanted to talk to me", Mitali replied with concern.

"What happened ? does he need any help from you?", She asked.

"Yes", Mitali replied.

"Then help him", She replied quickly.

"I have come to do the same", Mitali replied.

"What do you mean?", She asked being confused.

"Now how can I tell you that if I tell you this then your other relationship will be in danger. You are already upset because of the feelings for the Smaran sir that have arisen in your heart and if I have now told you about the feelings of Samar, then don't know what will happen. Will the friendship of both of you also survive?", Mitali was thinking looking at her face.

"Tell Mitali quickly, what is the matter?", Niyati asked, shaking her.

Mitali is about to tell her that suddenly lunchtime runs out and they have to go back to class.

Charan sir's period starts and 10 minutes pass but he doesn't come to the class yet. All the students start thinking that suddenly he enters the class with Smaran and both of them are with Samar and some of his friends. Niyati, Mitali, Divya, and all the other students are also shocked to see Smaran coming to the class during Charan sir's period. Smaran remains in school today because of his week off.

"Students, as Smaran sir has already told you all that he won't come to school from Monday, So on the same occasion, a student of your class, Samar and some of his friends want us to have a farewell party day after tomorrow means Sunday for Smaran sir. I want to take your opinion in this matter from all of you, so do you all agree with Samar and his friends?", He asked in a high pitch.

"Yes sir, we agree with him", All the class answered in unison. Hearing this, Divya was smiling in her heart because she needed a chance before Smaran left and she got this opportunity in the form of a party and she thought that she should take full advantage of this opportunity.

"Well then it was decided that day after tomorrow we will have a farewell party for him in the school as It will be on Sunday and we all don't have school tomorrow", After that, Charan Sir starts deciding everything together with their students.

Smaran goes away from there by bidding bye to everyone because he has to packed his clothes for his departure and come to the party on Sunday.

"Hearing the talk of the party, Niyati is not able to understand whether she should be happy that she will get a chance to see Smaran one more time or she is sad that the day after tomorrow she will never be able to see him again.

On the other hand, Mitali wants to tell Niyati what Samar has said but she is not getting a chance. On the third hand, Divya thinks in her mind to do some big bang at party.

In the evening, Mitali invites Niyati to meet her at the park near her house. The reason for calling her there is that Mitali is now unable to keep Samar's words from Niyati to herself for a long time. She knew well that Niyati would be very sad because of his departure but she also understood how important it was for her to tell her about this so she had decided that she would keep telling this thing to her and would not let anything go wrong with her.

"Say Mitali, why did you call me here?" Niyati asked confused.

"I want to talk to you", Mitali replied hesitantly.

"Tell me", She replied.

Mitali took a deep breath and started speaking, "Niyati don't get me wrong. I know you are already worried about Smaran sir's departure but it is very important for me to tell you about this", She replied.

"Mitali, I don't understand what you want to say. Stop beating around the bush and get to the point", She replied.

"The thing is that Samar loves you", She replied and took a deep breath again to calm herself because she was so nervous.

"What?" Niyati yelled in shock.

"Yes, he loves you so much but never told you. Today at lunchtime, when he took me to talk with him, he talked about this. He loves you very much. He wanted to tell you this for a long time but because of the fear that the friendship of both of you may not be broken by his expressing this to you, he didn't tell this to you but you know that now there are only a few months left for our school to end, so he used to come to tell you his feelings without worrying about any consequences, but he couldn't dare and today he sent me to talks to you. He wants me to tell you what's on his heart and give your answer to him. I told you about his heart. Now tell me what is your answer", Mitali looked at her a little worried and asked.

"What are you talking about Mitali? You know very well what my answer will be. Still, why are you asking me this?", She asked in surprise.

"You are right I know very well what will be your answer but I want you to look into this once and then give your answer", Mitali replied casually.

"What do you want to say, you know very well that I don't like Samar anymore. Whenever I had something in my heart for him, it was only for a short time and it is over a long time ago. Now she is just a friend to me and now I love someone else and you know this very well", Niyati was very surprised and said, she didn't expect this from Mitali at all.

"I know you don't like Samar anymore and you like Smaran sir but once think with your mind instead of heart, Smaran sir will be gone by next week and you also know that he likes someone else. You only saw him in the staff room today with Gauri. You came and told me everything and you know this too. Both of them have been in a relationship before. You know very well that you and He have no future together then why do you want to ruin your life, better accept Samar and be happy with him", Mitali tried to explain to him and said.

"What has happened to you Mitali. What kind of things have you started talking about. Every time you used to support me and today you are talking against me", She said in a high tone in despair.

"I'm always with you and will always be with you but I won't support you in those things which will only hurt you and what you are saying today is wrong. Doing so will do nothing. Neither you will get anything, neither Smaran Sir nor Samar. By this, you are wasting your life and that of Samar too. He loves you very much. His life is related to your happiness and only he can keep you happy", Niyati was looking at her in surprise, but Mitali continued, "Look, don't get me wrong, I will never wish you bad. I just want you to be happy", Mitali finished her talk.

"And you know very well who my happiness is in being with", She replied.

"Why are you not understanding my point, with whom you want to be, he wants to be with someone else. You please... Niyati continued while cutting her in middle.,"No, My heart is not ready to accept this. I must admit that what I saw in the staff room this morning was not a lie but I also believe that whatever my heart is trying to tell me is not wrong. It seems to me that what I saw this morning was true, but I saw it from a different point of view".

"Your heart is telling you only what you want to hear from him, but once ask your mind what is it saying? I have full faith in Samar. He will make you very happy", Mitali said showing confidence, and continued, "I have seen love, yearning, concern, everything for you in his eyes, and till date, I have been seeing it. No matter how many girls he talks to, but there is only one girl in his heart and she is the only and only you", Mitali finished her talk.

"It means that you already knew Samar's feelings?", Niyati asked in surprise.

"Yes, I knew about this for a long time and I tried very hard to tell you but you never understood then suddenly one-day Smaran sir came into your life and your attention turned towards him", Mitali answered.

Hearing her words, Niyati got a little angry with her and she is about to tell her something that suddenly her gaze falls on the two people present there and she is surprised to see them together and her eyes widen in amazement.

"Smaran sir and Gauri", Niyati blurted in amazement. Hearing all this from her, Mitali turns back.

"Mitali We will talk about this later. You come with me first", Saying this she holds her hand and drags her with herself.
