Today we complete two months of our relationship and I still haven't revealed him that I have to go away from him, far away from him. I applied for London business school and many other top B-schools. I am taking such a big turn in my life and I haven't yet revealed it to the most important person in my life.
In the past two months, I have felt so blessed. It was like I was excited to get up every morning to see what the new day is going to offer me.
We had our laughs and a small fight which I appreciate so much and I'm scared I'll miss this out if I go away from him.
Right now, I'm sitting in the cafeteria, waiting for my buddies to join in as our final semester's timetable has been put up.
"Yo bitch" I rolled my eyes as Ragini came and sat opposite me giving me that toothy smile of hers. Ridhima is not well so she isn't attending college since a week.
"Preshtha it is" before I could say anything, Rudra gave her a curt look in a fun way. Manas was standing behind him, doing something on his phone, smirking at us as his attention kept on deflecting from his phone to us.
"Yeah whatever" Ragini rolled her eyes and chuckled at Rudra simultaneously.
"What are you going to order babe" Rudra sat beside me, just leaving a centimetre gap between us as he kept his arm swinging on my shoulder, whilst he kissed my cheek.
"Damn, can you stop it, it's college" I heard Manas sounding pissed at us.
"Get yourself a girlfriend" Rudra shrugged as if he didn't gave a fuck to him.
"Ugh are you guys kids?" I finally gave in and kinda yelled at this two young men who were quarrelling. Is this even a thing to fight about? Both Rudra and Manas eat quietly as we ordered a plate of noodles as we were already having plans to go to marine drive today.
"Bubble try my manchurian" Rudra forwarded his spoon and I took the bite.
"It tastes so good" the different flavours explored my mouth and it tasted so amazing. I smiled at him and took the spoon from his hand and took one more bite from his plate.
"Preshtha yaar, you took my bestfriend away from me" Manas said narrowing his eyes at me. He proceeded to take a bite of manchurian from Rudra's plate but Rudra slapped his hand and he immediately backed off, looking pissed at both of us.
"He's sitting right in front of you, tumhi lok tasa pan roz miltat(you guys meet everyday)" I tried giving him my most appealing smile. He sighed sadly, giving me 'that was lame' look.
We ate our snacks hurriedly and now we were in Rudra's car. Rudra was driving the car whilst I sat beside his adjacent seat. Manas and Ragini sat on the passenger seat, gossiping about college.
"Do you know? I wrote a love letter to professor Tejal" Manas said in excitement as his eyes shined bright, whilst Ragini looked pissed at him not giving a fuck about what he is saying. She was staring outside the window, watching the passing scenery.
"Bro, she is hot. Not gonna lie" Rudra smirked whilst his focus was still on the road. I smiled mentally at his antics to make me jealous, which was slightly successful but I chosed not to say anything.
"Preshtha is more hot" Manas forwarded his hand from behind pulling my chubby cheeks hardly. I screamed at the intense stretching.
"Yeah, if it wasn't Rudra, I'd be dating you right now" I chuckled.
"Can't believe my bestfriend and my girlfriend are cheating on me" Rudra rolled his eyes whilst a smirk formed on his lips.
"That's a payback bitch" Manas waved him a middle finger, and laughed his guts out. Rudra was nodding his head at his stupidity.
We reached marine drive in no time. Some vendors were selling their stuffs, some couples were all lovey-dovey while some were having a wild makeout which is very rare to see. Some high schoolers were hanging out and laughing around, cracking some hilarious jokes.
We four were sitting on the stone which was constructed already and enjoying the sound of waves. None of us saying anything but just giving in to nature and enjoying every ounce of it.
Unknowingly, I put my head on Rudra's shoulder whilst I was still watching the running water, Rudra held me by my waist and didn't said anything.
"This feels amazing" Rudra hummed at me, still watching the sun setting down taking in the aesthetic vibes.
I took out my phone and clicked the sunset's photo and posted it on Instagram stories, tagging Rudra, Ragini and Manas. Rudra took out his phone and clicked selfie of both of us, he didn't posted it anywhere because he think someone will evil eye our relationship again.
Maybe, I would be the only one who had evil eyed our relationship because I'm leaving this happy-go-lucky relationship. My heart dropped down as I kept thinking about it.
"Let's go to my house and have beer" Rudra randomly said as his attention was turned towards us.
"No" I replied, because I didn't want him to drink.
"Yes" Manas squealed in joy.
"I'm going to my place, mom and dad are worried about me.. damn they have given me 10 missed calls till now" Ragini said in a worried tone as she checked her call logs. She immediately got up and looked up for a taxi. We all three helped her find a taxi and bid our goodbyes.
I turned around to see two big kids smiling at me wickedly. "Majority wins" Rudra raised his fist in air excitedly, whilst Manas was nodding at his statement.
I shook my head in annoyance and gave them a weird look.
"Okay, drop me home first" I said, fondling with my hair, ignoring them.
"I thought, you are doing a night out with me" Rudra pouted, pretending to be sad.
"Eh, no. I'm not ruining your boys night. I dont want someone to say that I'm keeping their bestfriend away from them" I said pointing towards Manas chuckling at him.
"Point" Manas added, as he winked at me. I shrugged my shoulders at him and went towards Rudra's car.
Both the boys came and sat, we were 15 minutes away from my home, when Rudra said "I think I'll buy the beer from this store" he pointed towards the store, which is near my house. He went towards the beer shop, leaving Manas and me alone.
Suddenly, Manas nudged my shoulder and I eyed him in annoyance but the annoyance left unknowingly.
"You seemed tensed at marine drive" Manas eyes softened looking at me. I decided to give in and tell him everything.
"I don't know how shall I say this but I'm going to pursue an MBA" I stated in a go.
"That's a good thing, education never goes waste" he shrugged not finding anything wrong. I sighed, if only he knew the truth.
"Yeah, but I want to go to London or somewhere else to pursue MBA" I told him another truth. He looked shocked for a while but returned to his normal state in a second.
"Why are you going to London?" Rudra asked, as he had bottles of beers in his hand. My eyes got widened at his reappearance and my anxiety increased.
He gave those bottles to Manas and whilst Manas placed them beside him.
"Umm... umm. I'm going to do an MBA" I finally gave in and told him the truth
"That's nice.. from NMIMS right?" He asked me raising his eyebrows as he was adjusting his seatbelt.
I shook my head in response.
"Then where are you planning to do MBA from?" He asked me sounding serious.
"London business school" I replied in a squeaky voice as his face turned serious and cold.
I'm hating this already.
"Wow, you didn't even care to tell me but my bestfriend" he started the car and started driving towards another lane, probably his home. I didn't want to provoke him so I just kept my mouth shut.
"Rudra, we can talk about this" I tried convincing him but I didn't gain any response, he just gave me a cold shoulder.
My vision slightly blurred because of his cold behaviour towards me.
"Stop fucking crying" he sounded pissed at me. I wiped my tears away but they couldn't stop coming from my eyes.
"Bro, don't yell at her" Manas tried to make Rudra understand.
"You don't tell me, what I need to do in a relationship" Rudra shouted at Manas. Afterwards the whole drive was silent, no one dared to speak up whilst Rudra was fuming in anger.
