Chapter 37

"I'm sorry, Tammy. It's really not suited for you," I told him between the laughter. Once again his face turned into a shade of tomato. "See who is blushing now." I asked him and took a mirror from my purse to show it in front of his face. "Sheila, we are in public. Be--have---" He warned and shoved the mirror away. "Lilly, how did you both meet? Could you please tell me? I'm eager to hear your love story." I flashed a sheepish smile. "Why? Didn't he tell you anything?" She asked in disbelief furrowing her eyebrows. "Nope." I bluntly announced. "Whenever we start the conversation about you, he began to fly in the sky like he achieved something," I said truthfully. "You too behave like this once you fell in love." He muttered. Lilly playfully slapped his arm and started to tell the love story of them. Meanwhile, my mind voluntarily wandered around him, picturing our faces where she had just portrayed theirs. Maybe Tammy was right. I inhaled sharply to let go of my thoughts. Even my mind is not cooperating with me. "Where is Karl? I didn't see him these days." Out of the blue, I asked Tammy but I have no idea why did I even ask. He raised his eyebrows amusingly. "Do you care?" And teased with his melancholic voice. "Tammy, I just asked out of curiosity. If you want you can tell otherwise no need." He dramatically sighed before he spoke: "He went on a business trip with his dad. He will return anytime soon." Please don't come back. "Mam, your order." A waiter came and set the foods on the table. I felt bad for not spending time with Tammy and today he complained that I'm forgetting him already and proceeded to start a drama. So after the class, we planned to hang here with Lilly. Speaking of Lilly, she is so humble just like her name and a funny girl too. I already liked this girl. No wonder why does he adore her. She is worth it. While we were eating our food my phone started to vibrate in my purse. I took the phone and smiled when I saw who is calling. Ohh! I already missed him. I pressed the answer button and talked with him. After I hung the phone, Tammy looked at me with a blank expression. When I raised my eyebrows, he came out of his spell. "Is anything between you--?" He trailed off. "Ahh...Ummm--" I shuttered for a while hoping to catch a good excuse. As understanding Lilly gave me a soft smile. "It's okay. Your facial expressions clearly gave us the answer. At first me too like this. Soon you will learn." She winked at me. A tyre crashing sound gained all our attention. Once I looked outside the window, I saw Harry was climbing out of the car and entering the restaurant. Once he saw me, he walked towards us and stood beside me. "Did you finish? Shall we go?" He asked bluntly not bothering to make a friendly gesture towards my two favourite people. "Yes." I replied briefly. I was upset. He made me upset. After saying goodbye to Tammy and Lilly, I hopped into his car. When he was about to start the car I pinched his shoulder far enough to pierce him. "Ouch! What now." He yelped in pain. "What's your problem, Harry? He was with his girlfriend. At least you had to greet them." I narrowed my eyes at him, but he rubbed his shoulder and started the car like I didn't ask him anything. "There is no need to greet them. Children usually do these greeting things like how their parents trained them but I'm not a child, Sheila." He said looking at the road. "You are impossible, Harry." I shook my head. "Yes, I'm!" He gave me a polite smile and drove the car to our home. * Sheila's POV: As usual, I'm trapped inside my classroom. The lecture was so boring as hell, for that, I wanted to get rid of this session if possible, but I know it won't happen since my internal mark depends upon my attendance and I want to score the full marks. Tapping the pencil between my forefinger and the middle, I looked at my left side and tried my best not to create a hilarious laugh. Don't get me wrong, a boy sitting beside me was sleeping his head out! I averted my gaze from him and focused on the person who was taking English class not bothering to check whoever is listening to him. Ten minutes before the class could end, the college peon came and set the bunch of files on the table and nodded his head to the professor before he walked out. The professor took the file and read the name Jack Peter who was sleeping peacefully beside me like a baby. I nudged his shoulder which made him jerk on his sleep. Not knowing the entire environment he looked at me blankly then eyed the professor who called his name. I gestured him to look at the professor's hand and he stood up on his place, eventually understanding the circumstances. The professor stretched his hand towards him indicating to take the file from his hand. He walked towards the professor and collected the file from his hand. We all looked at him curiously as to know what was inside and why there was a bunch of files on the table. Lots of questions rose into my mind and I'm sure this question must be running into everyone's mind. "After the completion of your first semester, the management will hand your document back which you had submitted at the start of the semester. Since you have completed your first semester, you can get your documents and keep them with you." Reading our minds he explained.
