(Surprise and Antics")


It was a bright morning when Seza woke up, and a ray of sunshine hit her face, wishing her good morning. She woke up with a very bright smile on her face until she realized that it was already 8, and she was late for school. She rushed into the bathroom and came out in less than 5 minutes. After a huge mess, she finally reached the school and started walking towards her class. Her teacher was already inside the class. Her teacher looked at her and said, "Stand outside." He shook his head and said, "Is this the time to come to class?" Seza was very nervous because her teacher was very particular about punctuality. Seza stood near the door and said, "Sir! I can explain why I was late..." Sir interrupted, "Alright, listen...". Suddenly, Artav came to the sir and interrupted him, saying, "Sir! I have doubts in these questions. Can you help me?" Sir completely stopped what he was going to say to Seza and, within a second, told her to get inside the class. Seza knew that it was Artav's trick to save her. Seza looked at Artav and smiled; Artav blinked his eyes. Seza took her seat, and after a minute, Artav came to his seat and whispered from the back seat, saying, "Seza! I saved you today, so you have to buy chocolates for me." Seza turned back and said, "Can't you be quiet? You didn't save me; it was my fate that I got saved."
The teacher gave them lots of assignments, which were very hard, and told them to complete them within 2 days. Everyone was shocked, but Artav wasn't. With a proud tone, he was saying that he could finish it off within a day. Seza turned back to Artav and said, "An entire assignment? In a day? Are you serious, Artav?" He smirked and said, "Yes, I can. You shouldn't waste your time and get started." She started murmuring, "What does he even think of himself?" Artav smiled and told her, “I can hear you, Seza...". She rolled her eyes and said, "So what?" She sat down with the book on her desk and looked at the title. She hadn't even heard of that title before. She opened the book and started reading. She continued reading and kept going. She couldn't believe that she finished reading the entire book in a day. Meanwhile, other classmates were relaxed and dating. After seeing Parav and Arshana, she always wanted a perfect love story of her own.
On her way back home, all she could think about was the assignment. She was tense, not knowing how to start and end it. She was frustrated with the thought of being helpless. When she got home, as she was about to sleep, she received a call from Artav. She picked up the call and said, “Hey! I'm already tense and frustrated; please don't tell me that you've completed half of your assignment." Artav interrupted her, saying, "Sorry, honey, but not half; I've already completed it. I'm sorry for your expectations. Sleep well." He laughed and hung up the call. Seza called him back and asked him for help, but he denied her. Seza felt kind of heartbroken that she couldn't just let it go. She couldn't sleep. She knew that nothing could be done, and she had to finish it. She held a huge grudge against Artav. She managed to do the hard work and completed it without anyone's help, and she submitted it.
Days passed by, and they turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Seza got busy with her studies, while Artav started flirting with her frequently, but Seza didn't pay much attention to his words. One afternoon, Artav claimed that he could read palms and predict the future. Seza thought he was serious and gave him her palm. He started bluffing about her future, and everyone was laughing. After some time, Parav noticed that Seza and Artav had the same mark on the same finger and the same hand (on the ring finger). Parav pointed at Seza's hand, and both Seza and Artav were shocked because they hadn't noticed it before. Everyone was shocked to see that they had the same mark. Artav, with a flirty tone, said to everyone, "Seza and I have the same mark on the ring finger, which means we are meant to be together. I don't know about now, but in the future, she is mine." He started laughing. Seza felt like kicking him after hearing his words and said, "I would never want to spend my life with you. You are crazy. I would rather die than be with you. I can't even dream about you in my fantasies." Artav didn't mind her words and said, "Let's see, Seza! You're going to be mine!" Seza pulled his hair in anger and walked away.
