love is in the air

".."

I was shocked with his reply. My heartbeats were fasten suddenly.

" Myra, Are you there?": Stephen replied.

"hmm": I replied. I didn't know what to say, I was confused.

"It's ok Myra, take your time. I'll not rush you. Take care, byee": Stephan.

These simple words gave so much warmth in my heart.

"Bye Stephen": I replied.

After that I went to my room. That night, I wasn't able to sleep properly , all the night I was thinking about Stephan's message.

The next day, Deera and I went back to the hostel.

I brought some chocolates and lunch for everyone. We ate the lunch and went back to our room. I was unpacking my stuff, suddenly Andy came to my room.

"Hey Myra", Andy said cheerfully.

"Hi Andy", I replied.

"Can we talk for a minute? "She asked.

"Yeah, sure", I replied.

Both of us sat on the bed, Deera was in her classmate's room.

"Umm Myra, Stephen.. Stepen likes you", She said.

I was shocked with her sudden announcement.

"I, I.. know Andy", I replied.

"ahhmm, that's why you are blushing? Do you like him too? Is there something else I don't know? Have you akready said yes to him? Since when you two are dating? "

"Huhhh, Stop it Andy. I am not blushing okay, and we are not dating, he just said me yesterday and I haven't said yes too him", I replied.

"uhh, ohh. So you don't like him? " She asked again.

"umm, No I mean he is my friend, I never thought like this. " I replied with confusion.

"Uhmm, so you are confused. Love is in the air baby, you have feelings for him. Don't worry, take your time", She said sarcastically.

"Uh, we are just friends Andy and how do you know that he likes me? ", I asked.

"ammm that, he just asked me yesterday if you are in a relationship or not. So I understood his meaning", She replied calmly.

"oh, okay", I replied.

"If anything happens between you too, please tell me first okay", she said with a big smile on her face.

"ok, ok, happy", I said.

"Yeah, I'll be 😀" she said and after that she walk out of my room.

"This Stephan is too stupid, why he gave a hint to Andy? Now she'l always tease me" I thought.

After that day, Stephan started flirting with me openly, somehow he always managwd to tell me that he likes me and I always tried to ignore his confession.

Also, I had to withstand Andy too, she never left any chances to tease me.

One day, Stephen called me.

"Hey Myra", Stephen said cheerfully . There was a joy in his voice.

"Hi Stephan", I replied.

"Myra, Are you free this Sunday? ", He asked.

"umm, Yes. What is it? "I replied. I was jumbled with his question. "What is he planning? ", I asked my self.

"Myra, would you like to go The Good Mall with me? ", he asked.

The Good Mall is the new Mall opened near the H city. It is almost 15 km away from our college. This mall has a large food and shopping market, also there are so many games to play. Most of the students of thw city went there on weekends.

"Is he asking me out ? I'll not go alone with him." I turned silent and thought for a moment.

"Andy and Nobin will also come with us", he replied suddenly.

"OH, Ohkay, I'll go with you guys", I replied.

"Thanks, Be ready on this Sunday, I'll let you know the time", he replied.

"Okay, Bye", I said.

"Bye, Myra, take care", he replied gently.

If Andy and Nobin will also accompany us then there will be no problem, so I didn't deny him.

Nobin is our batchmate, he is studying Mechanical Engineering and he is also a member of our NGO. So we do know each other. Also he is the best friend of Stephen. So I don't have any problem in going with him, also Andy will be there.

Andy already knew this outing plan, so both of us applied for an outing for Sunday.

Stephen informed us to be ready at 11:00 am. We told perry and others about the same. Nitika and Perry also going for an outing on Sunday, but they were going to the R city to buy some stationary stuff. Sriya and Shriti decided to stay at hostel as they don't like to go outing usually.
