Update 51
The same day ( Saturday) Jaya was wakeup around 10am when her room mate call her for the breakfast. She was tired after the previous day work. The new task she accept was little hard. That was very concentrated job to segregated all the answer papers from different colleges. She went to the bathroom and come back after freshen up. Both she and her room mate had food. Then after lunch she decided to go to nearby mall to purchase some snacks.
She get ready by wearing a salwar kameez and left the room with umberella. The mall was about 15 minutes walk from her hostel. She reached the mall and bought some snacks and other things. As she was about to leave, she felt a pat on her shoulder. She turned around to find Mani standing there, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
J: "Mani youuu.... hereeee.....?" she was shocked but happy to see him.
M: "Yeah miss, I came here to see him" ( he pointed another boy standing 10 feet away from them) "when we are walked out I see your "back" and come near you." He said with a cheeky smile.
J: but its very surprise for me Mani... ( she was blushing)
M: "me also miss, I never think I got a chance to see you again, I was really miss you and I forgot to take your mobile number when we left from there." saying this she find wetness in his eyes.
J: "Oh Mani, don't be like that," she said, her heart swelling with affection. "You can always find me at college."
M: "But miss, I don't know when I will get another chance to come there. I am working now, and I don't have much free time."
J: "Don't worry," she said, taking his hand and leading him to a quiet corner of the mall. "Give me your number, and we can stay in touch."
They exchanged numbers, and Jaya felt a thrill run through her as she saved his number in her phone. It had been a while since she had felt this kind of connection with someone, and she didn't want to let it go.
They talked for hours, sharing stories of their lives and their dreams. Jaya was surprised to find that Mani was not just a good lover but also a good listener. He made her feel heard and understood in a way that no one had in a long time.
M: "Miss, I want to tell you something," Mani said, his voice serious. "I never had feelings like this for anyone before."
J: "What do you mean?" she asked, her heart racing.
M: "I mean, I think I love you," he said, his eyes searching hers for a reaction.
Jaya was speechless. She had never expected to hear those words from him. She knew that what they had was special, but love? That was a whole different ball game.
J: "Mani, I... I don't know what to say," she stammered, her eyes wide with shock.
M: "Don't say anything," he said, taking her hand. "Just know that I'm here for you."
They sat in silence for a while, the weight of his confession hanging in the air between them. Jaya's mind was racing with thoughts and emotions she hadn't felt in a long time.
As the evening approached, they decided to leave the mall. Mani offered to drop her back to her hostel on his bike, and she agreed. They rode through the city, the cool wind in their hair, the city lights blurring into a sea of color around them. It felt like a scene from a movie, and Jaya couldn't help but feel alive.
When they reached her hostel, Mani parked the bike and helped her off. They stood there, looking into each other's eyes, the tension between them palpable. Without saying a word, they leaned in and kissed, their bodies melding together as if they had been doing this for years.
The kiss was deep and passionate, their tongues dancing in a silent conversation that spoke volumes. Jaya felt herself getting lost in the moment, her body responding to his touch in ways she never thought possible.
M: "Miss, I want to see you again," Mani whispered, breaking the kiss.
J: "Me too mani," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Lat's sit somewhere and talk, come lets go to some coffee shop" she hold his shoulder and pulled.
M: wait miss I will see off my friend and come back.
J: You can invite him to the coffee shop, otherwise what he will think about us.
M: "Ok miss," he said, nodding his head. "Let's go." they walked towards Manis friend.
M: miss this is Jawed my one and only friend here. Javed this is Jaya miss, my favourite teacher at my previous college.
J: hello Javed, she looked at him and extend her hand for shake. She watched him. Javed was same as Mani's age, But a short guy with a lean body. His hight reached till Manis shoulder. He was 18 year old but looks like 14 year old.
Jav: Hi miss, Mani told me everything about you. He was all day talking about you.
Jaya was blushed, did mani tell whole story to him?
J: What he told about me Javed?
Jav: you are a kind person, help him for his study, and financially help his family and teach him everything. he said this very innocently. She felt relax that Mani dont said anything about their secret.
Jaya: I just did what a teacher should do, and I am happy to see him doing well.
They all three went to a coffee shop nearby and sat at a corner table. Mani and Javed sat one side and Jaya sat opposite.
J: Now tell me, how is your study going on?
M: Miss, it’s going well. I am following the tricks you suggest me."
J: "That's good to hear," Jaya said, smiling warmly at Mani. She took a sip of her coffee, her eyes never leaving his face. She could feel the heat of his gaze on her, and it was making her feel more and more uncomfortable. She knew she had to set some boundaries, but she also couldn't deny the excitement that bubbled up inside her every time she thought of him.
J: What about you Javed?
Jav: I am now his classmate miss. He helped me for my study.
J: thats good Mani. She appreciated Mani.
J: what about your parents Javed? hearing that Javed bent his head down and said.
Jav: They are dead when I was child. Now I am living with my grandmother, but she is very old.
J: ohh sorry Javed, I didn’t know about that. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart for the young boy.
M: No miss, it’s okay. I manage everything. Thats why I take him as my friend. We are facing the same situation.
J: But you guys are so young, and you have to manage everything alone?
M: Yes miss, but we are happy with what we have. Jaya's heart melted at their resilience.
They sat there sipping coffee, talking about their lives, and Jaya couldn't help but feel a strong bond forming between them. She knew that she couldn't let her feelings for Mani get in the way of their friendship, but she couldn't deny the chemistry that sizzled between them.
J: how you manage your family expenses?
M: Now we are working as a hotel room boys at night, and day time we went to study.
J: Hotel room boys? But how can you manage to study?
M: Miss, we are doing this for our survival. We are working in a decent hotel. We don't do any bad things there.
J: I understand, Mani. You both are so strong. She felt a sense of admiration for the boys and their determination to better themselves despite their circumstances.
M: Now we little struggle due to the exams. We are getting less time for study.
J: "I can imagine," Jaya said, her heart aching for them. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Mani looked at her with surprise and gratitude.
M: "Miss, you already done a lot for me. But if you really want to help, then please help us to prepare for exams. We are getting so many doubts in maths. and sience"
J: "Of course, I can help you," she said without hesitation.
M: Thank you miss, where ae you living here, we can come there.
J: ohh no Mani. I am in ladies hostel. It cant be possible.
M: thats so sad miss.
J: Do you have mobile.
M: yes miss I have.
J: then save my number, then you can call me if you have any doubt.
M: "Thank you, miss," Mani said, his eyes lighting up as he took out his phone and saved her number. "We will definitely call you."
J: "Good," she said, taking a deep breath.
Jav: Mani I need to go now.
J: Why you go now?
Jav: sorry miss, My grandmother is waiting for me. I am came here to brought some medicine for her.
J: "It's okay, Javed," Jaya said, understanding his urgency. "Take care of your grandmother. And don't forget to study."
M: "I will miss," he said, getting up from the chair.
Mani watched as Javed left, feeling a twinge of sadness. He knew that their life was tough, but he also knew that they had each other.
mani turned towards her.
M: how is your life going miss? You look tired.
J: I am little tired, but its okay. I got some extra work at college. I have to separate all the answer papers of different classes and prepare the report for tomorrow.
M: Miss I really miss you.... he hold her hand on the table.
J: Mani, please don't make me feel awkward here. she said gently but firmly.
M: I know miss, but I can't control my feelings. I want to tell you something important.
J: What is it Mani?
M: I don't know how to say this, but I need to tell you.
He took a deep breath and looked into her eyes with a mix of nervousness and determination.
M: I was thinking of you all time, Every day the beautiful nights we spend together in your flat, came to my dreams.
Jaya's heart fluttered at the mention of those nights, her cheeks flushing as she tried to keep her cool.
J: Mani, I know it's special for us, but we have to focus on our life now. We can't just keep meeting like this.
M: I know miss, but I want to be with you forever, she looked into his eyes and felt his sincerity. atleast bring me as your servant. I will do anything for you. I will not disturb your privacy, I will just take care of your needs.
J: Mani, you are a good boy, but you have your own life to live. You should focus on your studies and future.
M: But miss, I want to be with you. His voice cracked with emotion. "and I am sorry if my words hurt you, that time you give me full freedom to me in your flat and your beautiful body"
Jaya was torn. She knew that she couldn't give him what he wanted, but she also didn't want to break his heart.
J: yes Mani you have full freedom on me, I will never break my promises. She said with a gentle smile.
M: I know miss, but I don’t want to misuse it. I just want to be with you, even if it’s as a servant.
Jaya squeezed his hand, feeling a surge of emotions she couldn't quite name. She knew that she had to be careful with her words.
J: Mani, let's not think about that right now. First, let's focus on your exams and your future. After that, we can talk about anything.
M: Ok miss, I will do that. He nodded his head.
They finished their coffee and stepped out of the shop. The cool evening breeze brushed against their faces, and Jaya felt a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a while.
M: Can I drop you at your hostel miss?
J: Sure, that would be great. She smiled up at him.
They climbed onto his old bike, and he revved the engine to life. As they rode through the city streets, Jaya couldn't help but she leaned into Mani, feeling his warmth and the vibration of the bike beneath her.
When they reached her hostel, she slid off the bike and said.
J: Thank you for today, Mani. It was nice seeing you.
M: Miss, I will never forget this day. He said with a shy smile.
J: Neither will I, she said, her voice filled with genuine warmth.
They stood there for a moment, just looking at each other.
M: Take care miss. He said before driving away.
Jaya watched him go, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that she had to keep her distance from him, but it was getting harder and harder every day. As she walked into the hostel, she couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them. WHen she reached near the door, she got call from Mani.
J: Mani what happened ?
M: miss If you are ok, can you stay in our hotel for these days. I can arrange a better room for you. Then You can help us for our exams at night.
Jaya's heart skipped a beat at the proposal, the thought of being so close to Mani again was tempting. But she knew it wasn't appropriate.
J: Mani, I appreciate your offer, but I can't stay in a hotel. I have my own responsibilities and rules to follow at the hostel.
M: miss if you are afraid about bill, I can manage, please help us for our exams. We will never get a chance again.
J: "I understand your situation, Mani, but I dont know what to do" Jaya said, her voice firm but gentle.
M: miss please.... he begged.
J: "Alright, Mani," Jaya relented, feeling the weight of his plea.
M: Thank you miss thank you very much.
J: OK Mani, when can I come there.
M: You can come today evening after 6:30pm. One good room is free there. Now I will go there and clean it for you.
J: "I'll try to come around that time," she promised, a mix of excitement and nervousness playing on her features.
M: "I understand, miss," he said, his voice filled with hope. "Thank you for helping us."
J: "did I need to book the room ?"
M: "No miss, I will book it for you. Just come and tell your name and mention that manis teacher in reception."
J: "Ok mani, I will be there by 6:30 sharp, send me the location" She ended the call and went to her room.
