“what even made you fall for me? i mean, how come you like me. matlab kaise? kyu?”
“well, boys are just too dumb anghad. like you are. aur kya matlab ki kyu.”
“it's just...” he got picked? out of all those people who confessed to her? even though much time has passed away, he still finds it hard to believe that he is the one she calls her boyfriend. anghad had no clue if this relationship would work out or if he was even ready for them, him and her. indrani is his first real girlfriend after whatever he had with the girl named priya in sixth grade, who was so controlling and crazy, and then rashi saxena in eighth grade, oh god, she was so unbearably loud and show-offy, this all made him to actually focus on his academics and extracurricular activities, that's how bad they fucked him up.
especially rashi, kon bolta hai itna? vo bhi itna jada teej? she would bleed his ears out, still, he would listen to everything she had to say, from how noisy her older sister was or how big of a bitch her neighbour aunty ki beti was because she always used to show off her (wow), or how much of a player nitya thakur from section d was. he would remember every character from her stories only for her to go to movies with riyan shukla from her class (they were in different sections). it broke his heart.
anghad wasn't allowed much access to his older brother's mobile so he couldn't pick up her calls that much but would make up every time by ditching his friends during recess and joining rashi for lunch but on nineteen july, when he logged into instagram to see if she replied to his text, he didn't found her id on the platform. he was left confused until the next day when he was asked to stay away from her. that's it. she never revealed that she found someone better that him with whom she has been talking since last month behind his back. poor boy had to hear the truth from other.
so when this new cool girl asked him out, anghad knew he had to seriously man up, from a skinny four to a hard core eight. he had to gulp down all his insecurities and just act tough, if he didn't want another riyan to steal indrani from him, he just had to get his shit together and just like that, anghad started hitting the gyms, growing his hair out, slowly but effectively worked on his break outs, actively participated in extempores and most importantly, joint the photography club.
even though, it was a very random and out of touch club still, he enrolled in this club on indrani's advice as she saw potential in the pictures he merely took from his phone and luckily, it turned out to be a real deal. anghad eventually started bringing in trophies for his school and became the famous guy. all because of indrani. she elevated him, from a wimpy four to a charming eight.
indrani's love and admiration for her lover turned anghad into someone so special. she impacted his life to such a great extent, that he started getting better at almost everything, maybe because he always got the comfort he always needed. the security that even if he fails, she surely will stand beside him holding his hand, letting him cry on her shoulder without making him feel like a loser. the potential and passion he had in him for speeches and photography was discovered while he was trying to prove himself as a better man for indrani but all this greatness didn't replace his insecurities.
“it's just...you are so beautiful and amazing that i feel so insecure. even though i try to be a better man for you, still, i get those weird urges..”
“anghad itne cute kyu ho?” indrani smiled walking closer to him. it wasn't that late at night as there was still chahal-pahal on the main road but because they were standing outside her house it was very quiet and still, making their voices echo.
“it's okay to be insecure anghad and you don't need to hide it. everybody gets jealous, i do too, now that you are under the spotlight.”
“but they know i am already taken. head girl ka boyfriend. i heard some juniors say that in the corridor.”
“ha ha, really?”
“hmm.”
“good,” moving even closer, indrani brushed his hair, putting her other hand on his crossed ones. “that they already know, so they won't be eyeing my fine man.”
“kya fine man!” anghad looked to the side, breaking into a wide shy smile, when Indrani gently pulled his face towards her, giving a quick but lasting peck on his mouth.
“don't keep it in. i don't want us to fight or get jealous over petty things. just tell me whatever you feel like. i don't need to give an explanation on why i like you, i just do anghad. it's that simple. i liked you with short hair and skinny legs, and i like you now and i'll even like you when you will fall for some other girl. i'd like you over anyone, anyday and in everyway.”
