Mohabbat Ki Kitaab (The Book Of Love)

📚10.📚

An unpleasant voice made me awake, though I wanted to sleep more but couldn't due to that unpleasant sound. Secondly I had to go college, I couldn't afford to miss my college even more. Somehow I managed to open my eyes and my heart gave a painful loud beat when my gaze went to him who was caging me in his arms.

He was sleeping peacefully wearing a vest and long loincloth, he was snoring loudly.

{Long loincloth is a cloth which men wrap around their waist just like a straight skirt! It's common in punjab and south India}

His snoring was The same unpleasant sound which awaken me.

I made my way to washroom after freeing myself from is grip, I was very tired but I could not took another day off from college, I already had missed my college for three days! I didn't had idea what Zamil had informed Richa and Vihaan about us! Somewhere I was feeling a different fear in facing Zamil, I shouldn't have shout at that time but what could I do? I was completely broken from inside and Zamil was regularly convincing me to accept his proposal!

I lost a good friend!

I couldn't get him as a life partner... But we both could be good friends! But unfortunately this love angle came in between our friendship and we weren't even friends then.

After taking bath, I made breakfast and I went in bedroom but he was still sleeping peacefully. Picking up the pen and notepad I leave a note in punjabi as he only know that language.

ਮੈਂ ਕਾਲਜ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹਾਂ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸੌ ਰਹੇ ਸੀ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਨੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਪਰੇਸ਼ਾਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ!  ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਸ਼ਤੇ ਲਈ ਪਰਾਂਠੇ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਹੈ, ਦੁੱਧ ਆਪ ਗਰਮ ਕਰ ਲੈਣਾ|

(I'm going to college, you were sleeping so I didn't disturb you! I've made paratha(s) for your breakfast, warm the milk by yourself)

Before stepping out from the room I placed a good and well ironed pair of cloth for him. Not to forget I had to work on his personality.

================

I reached college before normal time and I was surprised to see Zamil sitting near college entrance. My heart beat differently after watching him but I completely ignored that feeling and decided to took steps towards my class room but suddenly land grabbed my feet when a voice rang in my ears.

"Agar pta hota ki apne dil ki baat kehne se tum mujhse itni dur ho jaogi to puri zindagi us dosti ke sahare hi guzaar deta, kam se kam tum mujhse nafrat to nahi karti!"

(if I would know that Confession of my love would took you away from me then I would never do so, I would love to live my whole life as a friend of yours. At least you wouldn't hate me!)

I couldn't help but turn to saw Zamil who was looking at me. His voice was a bit heavier than usual as well as addressing something different emotions.

"Nafrat to main ab bhi nhi karti, lekin samajhne ki koshish karo, main tumhara proposal accept nhi kar sakti"

(I don't hate you even now, but please try to understand I can't accept you proposal.)

"Okay don't accept my proposal but at least don't ignore me! I'm not a going to harm you but at least be a good friend of mine!" He requested and I felt that he told me what I wanted to say.

"Zamil I also wanna stay as a friend with you but only friends... Not anything else." I said with a small smile and he nodded with a big grin, he passed his hand towards me to shook but I didn't held his hand.
