A SCHOOL CRUSH

The story begins in St. Mary School, Dehradun inside a quiet classroom a girl sat deeply engrossed in her novel completely unaware of her surroundings.

Her world revolved around books & at that moment she was lost in a novel. 

Suddenly, the first period bell ring & pulling her out of her fictional world.

The girl named Aira (She's smart, intelligent & beautiful) blinked as she returned to reality. 

After bell students started entering in classroom, she hurriedly put her novel into her bag. Just then she heard a familiar voice.

Hey,

It was none other than her best friend Maya.

Aira & Maya had been friends since childhood. Their home were in the same city & they had shared year of friendship.

They are completely different from each other where Maya was an extrovert & full of energy but Aira was quiet & reserved & always preferring books over people.

Maya - Do you ever had time to do enjoyment & have fun with others or do you spend all your time just reading novels.

Aira - Are you done, now sit down quickly, the teacher is coming.

Teacher Entered & Command

Silence class

Class fell quiet & as the lesson was about to start but suddenly the door creaked open.

A tall, smart & handsome boy stood at the entrance. His presence instantly capt-wring the attention of the entire class.

Krish (Politely) - May I come in.

Teacher frowned & asked - Why are you late today Krish.

Krish - He smiled, My car had a puncture.

Teacher shook her head - You always have an excuse ready, sometimes you miss the bas, car break down etc...... 

Krish with smilling - Sorry Mam.

Teacher - Come in.

Krish walked to this seat & sat down

Krish was friendly with everyone alwaye polite & well liked by his peers. Being a class topper he never carried an attitude. He is all rounder not even in academics also in extracurricular.

Aira secretly looks at Krish during the ongoing class. And she wonders if Krish is really the way she has heard about him or if his story was something else.

THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING 

The unseen connection between Aira & Krish.

Aira & Krish were both class toppers but they were poles apart.

Krish was arogant & egoutic while Aira was humble & kind.

The day as Aira sat in class, she stole a sideways glance at Krish.

She had liked him ever since she saw him playing the quitar at the annual function for the first time.

2 Years Ago

Krish , Krish the students cheered loudly in the assembly hall.

Maya grabbed Aira's hand. 

Maya - Do you know the new boy, he plays guitar too.

Aira Uninterestly said, so what? Why are you telling me?

Maya - There is no paint to telling you any thing your life revolves around books.

Before Aira could react.

Maya snatched the novel from her hands.

Aira - Give it back Maya

Maya - Nope, untill you come with me.

Aira - Please stop acting like a child

Maya - Fine, are you coming with me or not.

Aira - Ok now give me my book

Maya walk towards assembly thall without giving book

Aira - On god this girl

Maya - Praying won't help even god can't save you from me.

They both laughed together & walk toward assembly hall.

The hall was packed & then Maya dragged Aira through the crowd toward the front.

Maya - Oh god look at him, he looks so cute while playing guitar.

While Maya was busy in admiring Krish.

Whereas Aira secretly tried to take her book back from Maya's bag.

And suddenly Krish started playing a tune which made Aira freeze in her spot.

The tune was her favorite song "Hosana".

Also the music filled in the air, Aira's eyes slowly lifted toward the stage.

For the first time she looked at moment she couldn't Krish & at that moment take her eyes off him.

Maya - Aira isn't this your favourite song.

Aira - Yes

The entire audience enjoyed the music but for Aira it feel like time had stopped.

And then something unexpected happened.

As the music reached the lyrics, Aira unknowingly started singing.

The moment her voice echoed through the hall, everyone stay silent.

There was only the sound of guitar & Aira's mesmerizing voice..

The voice was so professional, so magical that everyone was spellbound.

Aira sang,

Dilkash thi woh sham pehle pehal Tab he tumse mili thi nazar Aisa chakraya ki sab ye zra jannu toh joun kidhar Hosana tum samni thi ik bal Hosana

First time Aira & Krish noticed each other.

Song ended.........

Aira snapped back to reality She look had just hop. around & realizing what hapened.

Suddenly the entire hall erupted into applause.

Aira overhelmed rushed out of the hall without saying a worked word.

Aira wait, Maya ran after her.

Krish checked the time & frowned It had been quite a while since Aira left.

His fingers tapped ratlessly on this guitar Where she is? He thought.

Backstage, Krish finally exhaled sharply made his mind. I need to check her.

Krish was about to leave in search of Aura, the announcment echoed through the hall.

Krish froze in his tracks. His heart told him to look for her but the entire hall was now waiting.

He stood there caught in the middle of a decision gripping his guitar.

As Krish still lost in confusion ithe announcement echoed once again.

Krish & Aira please come as audience is waiting.

Krish took a deep breath & walking onto the stage alone.

His mind still stuck on Aira's absence.

Krish hesitated & said flira had an emergency, so she can't be there right now.

Host - Are you ready to perform solo?

Krish - Yes

The Moment Maya heard her heart sank.

Without wasting a second she rush out from hall to find Aira.

Krish started strumming his quit. trying to focus but this mind was restless.

Maya didn't find Aira in whole school.

Maya hears the sound of someone crying. The moment she hears it, she knows—it’s Aira.

But where is the sound coming from?

She looks around, scanning the empty room. The windows are shut, and the door is closed. Yet, the sobs grow louder, as if Aira is somewhere near. 

But Maya can’t see her.

Maya turns toward the gate—and there she is.

Aira stands behind it, tears streaming down her face. Her sobs echo in the silence, raw and desperate. But something feels off.

Maya - What happened Aira ?

Aira sniffles, wiping her tears. "The hook of my blouse broke," she says, her voice trembling. "And this... this is Mom's saree. It's very precious to me."

Maya looks at Aira and gives her a reassuring smile. "It’s okay, don’t worry. Relax," she says calmly. "I’ll fix it for you."

She steps closer, examining the broken hook. Aira watches her, still sniffling, but Maya’s confidence makes her feel a little better.

Maya steps back with a satisfied smile. "There you go! All fixed," she says.

Aira's eyes widen with relief. "Really?" she asks, still unsure.

Maya nods. "Yes, really! Now come on, the performance has already started. Krish is waiting for you!"

Aira quickly wipes her face, a smile replacing her tears. "Let’s go!" she says, hurrying alongside Maya toward the stage.

As soon as Aira steps into the hall, her eyes immediately find Krish on stage, playing his guitar. The melody fills the room, drawing everyone in.

Without a second thought, as she walks toward the stage, she starts singing. Her voice blends seamlessly with the music, as if she was always meant to join in.

The crowd turns to watch, mesmerized by the sudden duet. Krish looks up, surprise flashing in his eyes, but then he smiles—this is exactly how it was meant to be.

Krish looks up and sees Aira walking toward the stage, singing along with him. The moment their eyes meet, he exhales deeply, a wave of relief washing over him.

For a moment, he had been tense, unsure if she would make it in time. But now, with her voice filling the hall, everything feels right again.

His fingers move over the guitar strings with renewed energy, excitement returning to his music. The crowd senses the change—the performance has truly come alive now.

As Krish plays the guitar, Aira steps onto the stage, her voice blending perfectly with his melody.

Their duet fills the hall, their voices complementing each other effortlessly. The crowd watches in awe, completely captivated by the chemistry between them.

Krish strums with renewed passion, while Aira sings with all her heart. In that moment, it’s just the two of them—lost in the music, in the magic of the performance.

As the song reaches its peak, Krish and Aira turn toward each other, their eyes locking. Without a second thought, Krish reaches out, and Aira takes his hand.

The warmth of the moment spreads between them, their fingers entwined as they sing in perfect harmony. The audience watches, completely enchanted, feeling the unspoken connection between them.

In that instant, it’s not just a performance—it’s a story of trust, music, and something deeper, something neither of them needs to say out loud.

THE END.....
