Is it love

I had mixed emotions when Ana was sitting behind me when we were going home.

I was happy that we were going home together and when she pinched my shirt.

For me, it was the notion of being important.

I felt like she was trusting me, but I was afraid of all those things that happened.

The time when I saw that her dad grabbed her hands and was about to haul her, I was snapped. Even though he was her dad I said quite a bit, I don't know what would have happened if there were no public around us at that time.

I was cycling quietly while thinking all this in my mind and then suddenly Ana said,

" Hey, do me a favour, don't tell mom about all that.

I didn't see mom this happy in a while, I don't want to give her more stress by telling all this."

" I don't think it's a good idea, your mom gave him a divorce but he was still there searching for her.

By his breath, I could tell that he was heavily drunk and might have done something.

We should tell them." I said that on a serious note.

" Please don't tell her, she will be extremely stressed.

I never believed that my dad will become a stalker but even if he is a stalker, he is my dad.

I want to give him one more chance to improve himself by leaving us alone and not following us.

My mom has now moved forward and I don't want her to remember her past. " she said that in a low and melancholic tone.

I was quiet for a bit but then I replied,

" Okay, I won't tell "

For the rest of the journey, she didn't say a word and I didn't ask her either.

When we reached home, she acted as nothing happened and went straight to her room by saying I had my dinner there.

Also, I am very tired, tomorrow I have early morning lectures so I'll go and sleep now.

I also went to my room and slept.

Next day I woke up early and was ready by 7:00.

We had lectures from 8:00 so I was browsing the internet while waiting for breakfast.

A few moments later Ana arrived and by then our breakfast was ready.

We both ate our breakfast without saying a word, she then left by saying

" Thanks for the breakfast."

After a few minutes, I also left.

After leaving the house I rushed towards her, after reaching by her side I said:

" Are you still upset about yesterday."

She was about to say something but then a terror fell upon us.

Richy came running towards us saying

"Morning Kevin, what's up !"

Ana was surprised at seeing him.

He then said, " Are you the girl who was sitting with him at the library?"

At that stage, I was just about to drown in embarrassment because I knew he would say ' Hey, you know Kevin has a crush on you!!'

She replied " Yes we were sitting at the library,

( Pause)

Did something happened?"

Richy then turned towards me and started wiggling his eyebrows with a weird grin, and with that, I was confirmed that now I am dead.

I closed my eyes and was reciting prayers in my mind wishing that he doesn't say a word.

He then said " I am Richy, nice to meet you.

I just saw you with Kevin so I thought I should ask you.

He has very fewer friends precise I and Ria are his only friends. So when I saw you I thought who she can be?"

I was surprised and relieved at the same time, he didn't say all that.

We then went to college together, I was quite but Richy was talking a lot with Ana.

I was kind of jealous because Ana was laughing on his lame jokes.

We then reached college and Ana said,

" Bye, see you both later"

I was about to reply to her but then suddenly

" Bye, Ana !" Ricky said that before me and I was seriously pissed.

I was going to say him something but he left suddenly by saying " I have a lecture, then see you later. "

My mood was seriously bad at that time. I was thinking was he talking normally or

he was flirting?

I went straight to the lecture hall thinking all that.
