When Rivals Fall

Chapter 18 Coincidence meet??

"Abhi kuch dino se suna hai dil ka rob hi kuch naya hai
Kuch raaz hi kambakht hi chupae , khuda hi jane ki kya hai,
Hai dil pe shaq mera ise pyar hogya
~Abhi kuch dino se

As vedika came back to hostel, she directly came to her room , she saw kashvi fully ready packing her suitcase. She said , " Ready kash" .
Kashvi cheerfully replied, " yessss madam"
Vedika inquired kashvi , " tune vo sir ko hamari leave application de di thii naa vrnaa vo hamari jaan le lengee"

Kashvi replied, " haan de di thii " zipping her suitcase.

While pihu and anayra also entered , saying , " hum toh ready haii chaloo"

Vedika asked , " kashvii vese Kaustubh kaha hai , dikh ni raha aur uskaa surprise kesa laga , usne mujhe bhi nhi Bataya kya surprise plan kar raha thaa"

Pihu being the most curious sat beside kashvi and asked , " haan btaoo na di kya surprise diya tha mere bhaii nee"

Kashvi diverted the topic by saying, " vo baad me Btaungi, abhi late ho jayenge aur Kaustubh niche hai goumit ke sath , vo bhi kahi jaa re hai"

Pihu was going to tell where they are going but vedika said , " chaloo niche bus aagayii aur chelsi ko bulaoo"

Anayra called chelsi . Chelsi clumsyly locked her room and came towards them while running and said , " chalooo chaloo mein aagyii"

Kashvi seeing her locked her room said , " pr tune lock kyun kiyaa room , goumit aur vidhan toh yahii hainaa abhii"

Chelsi flipping her hairs replied, " vidhan apnaa bag le gyaa haii uske ghar uskoo kuch kapde pack krne the isliye"

She further said, " ab bachaa goumit ka bag toh vo toh ab andar hi rahegaa , bohot zyada ud raha tha na voo ab mein Btaungi uskoo , usne mujhe joota fek ke maraa"

While vedika and kashvi were controlling their laugh seeing their bestfriends childish behaviour. They all move downwards.

Downstairs, Kaustubh and goumit stood near the car, waiting for ayaan , aarav and vidhan. But the moment his eyes landed on Kashvii, everything else blurred.

His heart tightened as she descended the stairs gracefully. His eyes softened, filled with a silent plea- 'Theher ja, theher ja...' He didn't say it out loud, but his gaze spoke volumes.

But before he could get lost in the moment for too long, Goumit noticed. And there was no way he was letting this go.Meanwhile, Kashvii reached the door, feeling his gaze on her. She turned slightly, meeting Kaustubh's eyes for a brief moment. There was something in them-a hesitation, an unspoken wish.

For a second, she felt like asking, "Kya tum chahte ho ki main ruk jaun?" But before she could say anything, someone called her name, breaking the spell.

Goumit grinning, whispered near Kaustubh's ear "Bhai, aankhon se bolne se kaam nahi chalega. Moonh se bhi kuch bolna padega."

Kaustubh snapped out of his trance, instantly masking his emotions. "Kya bakwas kar raha hai?" he muttered, looking away.

Goumit said , " kyaa kya sahi bolra hu aur bhaiya ap kuch der ke liye apnii majnu wali duniya se bahar aa jaoo aur bag rakhne me madad krva do

Kaustubh looked at him and muttered, " kuch bhi boltaa hai " and helped him in putting bags in car's Dickey .

While everyone wished goodbye to Kaustubh and goumit while chelsi noticed their eye conversation so she decided to do some masti so she getting out of window shouted "Bye bye kashvi ke future husband"
which made kaustubh blush while others were dead laughing while kashvi was cursing her , Goumit nudged kaustubh to reply, he also shouted saying,
" Good Bye meri future wife ki best friend"
While vedika did thumbs up to Kaustubh and said , " good one "
Kashvi made both of them silent by closing the mirrors , while she herself was a red tomato "
