Sagar's POV
Flashback
Gautam nodded and went to get those things for her. I wish ma'am had told me to do it. But anyway, I could look at her till then. By the time he came back, it was already lunch break he gave it to her. She took out money but Gautam refused to take it.
" Take the money or take these things back. I'll find the store and get them myself. "
But when Gautam didn't say anything, She caught his hand and placed the money on it. She said a polite thanks and walked away. Gautam and Vikram stood there with their mouth open. Rahul, Mehul, Sahil and I were watching them from aside.
" Close your mouth, you idiots. " I placed an arm each around their shoulders and said to both of them.
" She is hot... and ... "
" Aaaaaa...... don't say anything like that for her, Gautam. " I said smiling.
" Why ?? Please enlighten me... " He smiled sarcastically.
" Because she is mine... " I said and his mouth touched the ground.
" What?? When did that happen ? " everyone asked me except Sahil, he was smiling already.
" It started when I saw her for the first time... But now, I am sure of it. I think I am already falling for her. "
" Seriously ??? You are serious about her? "
" Hmmm... very serious. So, I want to make it clear to all of you that she is off-limit to all of you. One day, she will be mine. "
They all smiled and hugged me. They kept teasing me with her name. I told them that she was cast opposite me. They all hooted. My sweet and idiot friends...
Present time
My phone rang and I came back to my present life. I realised that I was smiling all the time, I was thinking about her. She had that effect on me.
I picked up the irritating phone. It was Sahil, asking me how I was. He was looking for me and could not find me so was calling me. I told him that I was at home as I was getting bored. He was missing me and Swati at the party. Swati could not attend it as she was studying in Canada.
I saw the time it has been 2 hours since I left the party and for the last 2 hours, my long lost love has been haunting me.
I changed into my nightwear and again went through those pictures.
Those pictures were the only thing Which kept me going and motivated. I saw all pictures again one by one.
Flashback
I remember how I kept looking at her from the time she entered till she left the school even on the second day of her school. Anyone could say that I was stalking her.
Next day during the lunch break, she saw me standing not too far away in the playground, from her window and then she diverted her eyes and looked somewhere in the classroom. She looked surprised and then again looked at me and then suddenly again looked at something or someone in the classroom.
She looked very confused, I wanted to know why she was so confused so I came back to our classroom.
When I came back, Sahil told me, " she was looking at me and then was looking outside then looked at me and then outside. Then she said something to Anshu. Then Anshu said something and she blushed. "
" What?? she blushed looking at you??? But why?? " I felt very bad.
" Don't get emotional I will ask some other girl," Sahil said calmly.
He called one of the girls who was crazy about him. She came to us and we went outside our class.
" Pooja, I need to ask you something, just a few minutes back you girls were teasing that new girl..... what happened? "
" Why? Are you interested in her now? " She was getting jealous.
" Oh no, not at all. She is not my type. I am not interested in her. But someone close to me is... Now please tell me. " Sahil said looking into her eyes.
" Oh, ok... it was very funny I was having lunch with her and her friends only. She said that she saw Sagar in the room and then she saw him outside and then again she saw Sagar in class as well as the ground at the same time. So we realised that she doesn't know that you both are twins and hence she saw both of you at different places at the same time. She was so confused but then Anshu teased her that she might be getting a crush on you that's why she was seeing you everywhere. And she told her to shut up but she blushed a lot. We kept teasing her. Till now she has not realised that there are two of you sharing the same handsome face. We have decided not to tell her and keep teasing her about Sagar. " she said Grinning from ear to ear.
" Oh ok... Thank god. Thanks, Pooja." I took a deep breath which I did not know that I was holding. We both said to her and she looked at both of us and said welcome Sahil.
She went away.. and I smiled that she blushed when the girls teased her about me. I was feeling good.
Then we went to our art class which was every day for the students who had opted for non-medical. So we had this class while others had biology class.
So Vikram and Gautam used to go for bio class and we for Art classes where we were taught the elevation, side and plans of various things.
Damini and Anshu were also in this class. It was her first art class as the art teacher had been on leave for a week.
He came to the class, looked at her and said, " So you are a new admission? Where did you come from? "
She was confused as she was looking towards her right where she thought that sir was looking. But there was no one, who was newcomer there. She again looked at him and saw sir looking in that direction. She was confused.
" Sir, I am sorry but I am the new admission," she said politely.
" Yes, I know but why are you saying sorry? I was talking to you only. " Sir said and we all started laughing hiding our faces. She kind of understood that sir had a squint in her eyes.
" Sorry, sir maybe I was not listening. Sir, I don't know how to make this can you please tell me." She kept standing near him and sir was teaching her. Sir asked her to get her all the things which were required in the next class.
The class got over and we were walking towards our class when I heard Anshu saying that it was really funny that sir was looking at her and she thought that he was looking somewhere else.
" No Anshu we must not make fun of others especially for their physical features or disabilities ... It is not good. God created all of us and we were fortunate enough to be born with everything right. It is an inhuman behaviour to make fun of those who are not so fortunate like us. Outer beauty is not important as it fades away one day. Even the most good looking person on earth is going to get wrinkles one day or the other. We must never make fun of others, dear. Please don't ever laugh on anyone like that. " she said to her
I swear I fell totally for her... She was so sweet and cute.
Present time
Just then there was a knock on my door. I closed her pictures and went to open the door. It was Sahil again why doesn't he leave me alone.
" What happened? Why are knocking at this time... Go and sleep. " I said to Sahil.
" No... I want to spend some time with you... Tomorrow I am going to Chandigarh to meet Samar he has come back to India. Do you want to come with me? "
" No... you go and meet him... "
" But we are partners we must have a discussion together. " Sahil said.
" I understand bhai but please handle it this time... Next time I will definitely come. "
Sagar's POV" But we are partners we must have a discussion together. " Sahil said." I understand bhai but please handle it this time. Next time I will definitely come. " I said to him." No Sagar you need to get over this silly thing. You need to get on with your life. You have already wasted one precious year of your life. We almost lost you... You kept looking for her for many years and I know that you are still looking for her. But enough is enough !! If she doesn't care about you, then why are going mad after her. "" Sahil, please you know I loved her."" Yes, you loved her... But she is not here. You can't keep running after a mirage. I can't see you like this, Bhai"" What do you mean by like this?? I am fine... "" Oh please, shut up or I will beat you to death. I don't want to see you half-dead crying for someone like this. It's better, If I kill you with my own hands." Sahil said furiousl

I came back here after 10 long years...My dad sent me somewhere far away due to some problems and I completed my studies there and then my parents also shifted there once my dad took VRS ( early voluntary retirement) and then I didn't feel like coming to India so I went to Dubai.

Damini's POVFlashbackEvery day he was dropping hints for me to pick them up. But I was as stubborn as him The whole school had an idea about his interest in me, But I never reacted.One day, one of the girls came to me and asked, " Damini, if you get to know that someone is interested in you and wants you to be his girlfriend. What would you say?? "" Why are you asking??" Just like that, tell me what would you say??? "" I don't need to say anything."" But why?? What is the problem?? "" Relax!! There is no problem. Why are you being so adamant in asking this? As it is, No one is interested in me. " I said with s smile." What ?? Are you blind ?? Deaf or Dumb ?? The whole school knows that someone is absolutely crazy about you. Are you insane or just trying to act smart?? I must say, he is crazy about you... He is dropping hints almost 8- 10 times a day... Are you trying his patience ?? "&
Damini's POVFlashbackThough this guy Sagar was invading my thoughts and dreams, I had to keep my heart in control... I tried to do everything in my power not to fall for him... And he did practically everything to make me fall.He was making it very obvious to each and everyone that he was interested in me and it was irritating me... Every minute I spent in school was like that I was under the scrutiny of many eyes... Especially a pair of dreamy eyes...Present timeA small kick by the baby in the lap of the lady sitting beside me brought me back to my present time. He started getting restless and was twisting his body to get out of her lap... I clapped in front of him and he smiled and jumped on me.I reached Chandigarh and after collecting my luggage, I came out of the airport. A man was standing there with my name on the board.He did not look like Samar... Well, I saw him at least fifteen years
Damini's POV" That's good, so let's have dinner for now and tomorrow you all can have the meeting, get comfortable with each other and start planning for your big and prestigious project. I have full faith in you Damini. As I would not invest so much in this project as both Samar and I don't know anything about it though I know that it is profitable. "" Thank you, uncle, for having so much faith in me. I will not let you down. Tomorrow, I will study your concept, requirements and tentative plans so that I know what is to be done. We will start working tomorrow. "" My friends are already here, I could not meet them today but we all are meeting tomorrow. " Samar said. We had our dinner and then, I said good night to both of them.The driver dropped me at the guest house and I was about to enter the main door when I saw someone in the balcony of another room. He seemed to be a tall, well built, young man. I couldn't s
Damini's POVFlashback...Somehow, I felt that it was Sagar and not his brother who was sitting with me. But why? Anyway, Anshu kept grinning at me, when I told her what happened.My friendship with Anshu was becoming strengthened day by day. We had joined the physics tuition together which was very close to her place. I used to go to tuition only half an hour after school, so I used to go to Anshu's place straight from school and then go to tuition together.So I was getting very comfortable with her family as well. Her parents were very cute and she had an elder brother and an annoying youngersister.Her brother, Vikas bhaiya, was very sweet and always treated me as he used to treat Anshu. We used to annoy him a lot.He was very particular that we must not keepour hair loose or untied. We were getting annoyed at him but hesaid that he didn't want, stupid boys following his sisters. He used to make us tie our h
Damini's POVFlashback" Anyway, Thank you, Sahil. "" Hmm?? Oh, ya... by the way, I am not Sahil, I am Sagar. " He said with his killing smile.I had my doubt as he was looking at me in the same way as Sagar used to..." But ma'am made, Sahil sit with me? " I said." So what??? I wanted to sit with you. Did you prefer, Sahil sitting with you? " He said looking at me with some weird expression on his face. The look he was giving me was very intense.I shook my head and looked at his brother, he was grinning again just like his friends.This guy was crazy...I wanted to leave, but I was caged between him and the wall. So I asked him to excuse me. But he kept looking at me." What?? Just now you were smiling when you thought that I was Sahil... and now you know the reality, you want to get away from me? You can smile at Sahil or Yash or that guy whom you gave chocolate, but not me?? "
Sagar's POVFlashbackWe came out of the school and saw an older guy talking to Damini and Anshu. She looked very comfortable with him. He was saying something and they both were smiling at him.He said something to her and she took out the chocolate out of her bag and gave it to him. Why was she giving him chocolate?? I wanted to know what was going on, so I went near them." What?? No arguments, no fights... Are you Damini or someone else? Are you not well?? " He touched her forehead and then her cheeks with the back of his hand. I wanted to break that hand." I am absolutely fine. "You don't have a fever. Did you get an electric shock?? You are not annoying me. Are you upset? Did anything happened today ? " he held her hand and looked concerned. She shook her head and smiled." Are you sure?? You know you can tell me if you are in any problem? " He asked and she smiled at him. Who was he??Why was he talking
