Will he be able to prepare properly for his dance competition? What will happen when he confronts his mother? Come let's see.






CHAPTER 10: Sorting Things Out
I began "Maa?" "Hmm?" She answered
"Are you hiding something from us?"
"No, Why?"
"Why did you go to the hospital yesterday?"
She remained silent like she had gone into a deep thought.
I raised my volume "MAA?"
"Just like that beta. Nothing serious!"
"Mom i read the reports"
"You did?" She was shocked.
"Yes mom! At least you could have told me?"
"Sorry beta. I didn't want you to get hurt"
"Will you be fine?"
"Yes beta... Wait what? Why are you asking about my health?"
"Maa you are the one who's got blood cancer, so i will obviously ask about you!" I said in a pissed tone.
"It's not me! It's aunt Silva!"
I danced around the table, i kissed her , i hugged her! Tears of joy were tripping all over.
She got hold of me and said aren't you sad for aunt Silva?
"Of course i am" I said in sarcastic tone
(Aunt Silva.. She was like the most horrifying lady i had seen in my life! She shouts at me for every little thing and keeps on pulling my left ear. She might be the main reason for global warming! The most irritating personality you could ever imagine)
"Don't worry she'll be fine" My mom said
"Who cares?" I murmured and went back to my room dancing. I jumped on the bed, took out my phone and called Dira! I told her everything and she was happier than me! I loved it. It was back. My perfect life was back. I got up, turned on my laptop and began to search for our dance. I found many videos on youtube but none matched our concept. I took everybody on a conference call in the evening. I told Ishan to bring 5-6 tracks of our theme and then we would decide which one is supposed to be practiced on. He said he would get on work as soon as we keep the phone. We were all doing good and then I told everybody.
"Guys guys guys hold up. I need to tell you all something?" I said.
Everybody was curious to know!
I said " Me and Dira are dating each other.
First all of them congratulated and then said " We knew something was going on but now since it's open.. We need a party!
"Okay okay! How about we bunk school tomorrow and practice in the morning and then go out?" I confirmed.
"Everybody agreed"
Everyone soon went off the line leaving me and Dira. We had a cute and romantic conversation during which i did not realize that it was 9:00. "I gotta go for dinner, see you tomorrow." I said.
"Okay.. Bye" She replied.
" Listen" I said
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"I love you too. At last you said it Mr. Akdu"
"Bye" I said
I went out for dinner and had some political discussions with Dad. Then i went back to my room and tried to sleep. Before i actually fell asleep i thought about how this life was going perfectly like a dream. I wondered if everything would be the same.



Never know about tomorrow! Devin's life might take a turn or it might go perfectly the way it is going right now! We'll see that in the next chapter. Chapter 11: Party time's over!

Chapter 9: Things Get A Bit Tensed Up

Today Devin is gonna receive a shock! What is it gonna be? Was it something related to his mother? Lets find out...




CHAPTER 9: Things Get A Bit Tensed Up
I waited for mom for the next 3 hours. She came back home and i asked her what's going on? She didn't answer! I repeated my question, but i was replied with nothing but silence. What kind of tests were these? "Just normal routine tests!" She replied. I didn't say a word and went back inside. I came out for dinner and then again went inside and waited for mom and dad to go off to sleep. I then came out and took her reports. I went in my room, turned on the table lamp and read those words, It said "Blood Cancer Reports" i read on and it mentioned "positive". Now this shook me to the core. I read again and again and again and again. She was suffering from blood cancer? Tears just streamed down my cheeks and i kept the reports back to where they were. That night i couldn't sleep for a single second. Tears had all dried up till morning and i got up and got ready for the school, half an hour before the usual time. She served me the breakfast, i hugged her tightly before leaving and i noticed a blissful smile on her face. She seemed relieved like she had got all the happiness in the world. I went to the bus and kept on thinking all the way to school. It was then when i met Dira, i felt a bit better. She gave me some hope that it would be alright and my mother'll be fine soon. I didn't do much that day. We met in the recess.. We were sitting in the basement. She asked me "Are you okay?" I didn't reply.. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on my left cheek. I smiled and i asked her "Since when do you like/love me?" She said "the first day i met you, i felt something strange and after that when we began to talk, i developed feelings for you. And what about you?" I told her how i had fallen for her and she giggled and rested her head on my arm. I kissed her on her forehead and took a sigh. We were glad that nobody came to the basement. As the bell rang, we went back to our classes and then i was sitting there in my class like a zombie. I kept on thinking and suddenly i was so devastated by all the things happening that i left the class when the chemistry teacher was giving her lecture. She didn't pay much attention and continued. I went to the rooftop and cried like a baby!  After half an hour, i came back downstairs. In the dispersal time we all met. Today we had plans to go out and i completely forgot about it. Ishan had brought his car and Dira was already in there. He told me to hop in. I said no brother, i gotta go. They all forced me for some time but then they agreed. Dira said, she wanted to go with me. I told her this wasn't needed but she didn't listen. She came and stood right next to me. We didn't go by the bus that day. We decided we would walk to the auto stand and then i'll drop her and go home. We started our walk towards the auto stand. Walking hand in hand. I took the initiative to start the conversation "You know it ain't that easy for me to accept this" She asked me " Did you confront her about this?"
"How does it matter? I have read the reports with my own eyes"
"But still you need to confront her once"
"Babe? The outcome is gonna be the same"
" Just do as i say."
"Okay" I said..
We had reached the auto stand. We were holding hands all the while. I dropped her and went back home. I went to my room and came out for lunch after changing. I moved to the table. Grabbed my favorite seat and finally thought of confronting her.






What was it gonna be? Will he be able to confront her? What would be the outcome? We will talk about the problem tomorrow, in CHAPTER 10: Sorting Things Out. Stay tuned till tomorrow!

Chapter 8: Life's as sweet as sugar (Come-back Chapter)

The morning was all the same. The weather was all the same. Everything was same except this face of Devin. The smile wasn't going away at all. She was so special for him and this was an ultimate experience for him, to fall in love. She has changed him, like completely!






Chapter 8: Life's as sweet as sugar.
Today i would directly start with the school because there's so much to tell. Today the first thing we did in school is look for each other. While she was in my class looking for me, i was there in her class waiting for her. Then when we were told by each other's classmates, it was then we met midway while walking back to each other's classes. We smiled! "You know i went looking for you!" i told her. She asked me why? I said  "The same reason why you came looking for me!" We again smiled at each other. As the bell rang, i said "see you at the dance practice".  She said okay! We headed back to our classes. After the attendance was done, i literally ran towards the dance room. She was already there with Anjali. She was sitting on a table that was kept there. I went to her and noticed Anjali was staring at me with a notorious smile. I asked Dira "Why is she staring at me like that?". Before she could speak Anjali interrupted " I knew it from the beginning! You aren't that innocent! Anyway congratulations!" I replied to her with a smile and to escape that situation i said " I'll go and look for the others!"As we all gathered together, we began to think for a song. Shakti suggested a romantic number and automatically Dira's face turned towards me "What do you say?"... "Amm nope!" And then all our time got wasted in this! While moving back to our classes, Dira didn't even look at me once! Then came the break! I ran downstairs after finishing some of my pending work! Ishan, Dira, Anjali, Shakti and Sid were already sitting over there! I took a seat next to Dira and asked everyone what the discussion was all about? Finally i got to know that they were confused about the dance. As it was our first performance, it had to be something different than what others did! I told them that we could think about this at home too! Then everybody just got busy in having  their lunch and i tried grabbing her hand. She looked at me with anger, got up and left the cafeteria! Anjali ran after her! Ishan looked at me with a smile! He came to me and said " Brother get used to it. Now you're stuck too!" And then he added " You denied dancing on a romantic number?". I said "That was because this is a school performance!" He replied to me " That wouldn't have mattered but romantic numbers are her favourites." "Shit man! What do i do now?" I asked him! He told me that he was gonna get Anjali to make you two talk to each other in the next period. Everything went as planned and while she was waiting outside the girl's washroom i went there and grabbed her hand and pulled her aside. I said "I'm sorry" she didn't reply back. I left that place. Then in the dispersal time our whole group was walking together! I came up in front and said "I have an idea!". All eyes turned towards me except Dira's! I said" We will dance on a romantic number". Everybody asked me " But you are the one who refused to it!" I told them about the misunderstanding and then we were all happy again that we have finally found a theme! As we all parted, Dira came from behind and shook me! She said "I'm sorry" and in no time i turned back and replied "Me too" We smiled and walked towards her bus. As i said good-bye to her she smiled at me! Then i moved to my bus! After entering the house, i called out for mom! She didn't reply! I looked all around the house and went up to my neighbors and asked them about my mom! Auntie told me that my mom had gone for some tests to the doctor and she seemed to be having a high fever! This left me tensed and i waited for mom at the house!




What was wrong now? Was there something wrong with Devin's mother or was it a minor routine checkup and he was just over-reacting? Well we will find out about that tomorrow in Chapter 9: Things get a bit tensed up!
