Divya
Although I hesitated I'm glad he helped me.. I was so pissed that he gave just three days time and upon that my topic had two sub topics which annoyed me more..
But this guy helped me the best.. I din't know how he managed when he have no idea about the subject but I'm honestly thankful to him now..
I saw Anu coming along with Aarav.. I wonder what happened seeing there flushed faces..
Once Arjun and Aarav left, I looked at Anu..
"What happened?", I asked
"Nothing", she said
"Your face tells something else", I said
"We kissed", she said
What? What the hell? She kissed.. I mean, they kissed?
"What?", I shouted
Anu startled and holding my hand she took me away with her.. she brought me near the ground area which was kind off empty now..
"Don't shout Divi.. that's a library", she said
"Come to the point.. you kissed? Like as in a kiss?", I asked shocked
"Hmm", she said
"What hmm? I need details", I glared
"Ahh I just went to use the washroom and don't know why he was there.. and.. and when I.. I bumped into him and I don't know how it just happened accidentally", she said
"Don't you call that a peck?", I asked curiously
"Um yes.. but.. but I don't know he just actually kissed me later.. as in a proper kiss", she said looking elsewhere
"Do you regret?", I asked
"I don't know Divi.. I won't say he forced or something, coz when he was kissing I din't push him either.. I.. I enjoyed it, you know it was my first.. but again, I feel may be this isn't right", she said with moist eyes
"Hey Anu calm down.. that's ok, don't think of it too much.. I know it isn't right when you don't share such relationship.. but since we can't change what happened you should stop thinking more now", I said
"Hmm yeah, you are right", she said
"Now c'mon smile", I asked looking at her
She smiled and sighed in relief..
It was already the last class going on and due to the project where I spent a couple of classes in library we decided to leave home for today..
"Hey", I heard a voice while we where moving near Anu's scooty
I know the owner too.. now that he's kind off familiar I know his voice.. Arjun!!
"You here?", I asked turning around
I saw Aarav next to him who was looking at Anu while she was trying not to look at him.. I know, it might be embarrassing for her.. we should probably leave now..
"Yeah, I told you right I'll come before we leave", Arjun smiled
Really? I thought he was saying casually.. he seriously came?
"I don't say anything casually.. I mean what I say", he said
Damn, did he just read my mind.. like he knew it?
"I don't read minds Divya.. but it's kind off obvious", he smirked
Was it that obvious for him to say what's in my mind?
"Yes it is", he smiled
I looked at him shocked.. he's scaring me now.. anyways we should leave..
"Ok bye then", I turned around looking at Anu
"Divya wait", I heard Aarav
Why Aarav?
"Me?", I aksed confused
"Ahh if you don't mind.. I wanna talk with Anu, so I thought I can drop her home today", he said
I can assume what he wanna talk about.. I looked at Anu who was pleading me no with her eyes.. but before I could speak I heard Aarav..
"Anu please, I really have to talk to you.. I don't wanna be embarrassed each time I face you now", Aarav said
Anu was still fidgeting with her fingers looking tensed..
"Anu please", Aarav requested genuinely
"Ok fine.. but Divi?", She looked at me
"Don't worry.. I'll drop her safe", Arjun said
I looked at him.. he's gonna drop me again?
Arjun
My idiot kissed.. he had his first kiss now.. what do I say?
"Although it was accidental.. I don't know what got into me the moment I felt her lips against mine that I kissed her before I miss her touch", he said
"You regret it?", I asked
"No way.. I loved it, but I don't know what she must be thinking.. you know I must have looked like a despo", he said worried
"You should chill dude.. she isn't immature to come into conclusions so fast.. you better talk to her and clarify instead of being embarrassed ok?", I said
"Yeah I'll have to.. come let's go", he said
I'm happy.. may be.. coz he kissed.. god knows when will I have my first kiss.. with my Divya..!
I did have a couple of girlfriend before and also did have the urge to kiss.. but something in me dint like it so it was always restricted to just hugs..
Anyways, we went near them.. and Aarav directly said that he wanna talk to Anu as he knew by now Divya would have known about the incident..
"Ok fine.. but Divi?", Anu looked at Divya
"Don't worry.. I'll drop her safe", I said
"Ok take care Divi", Anu said and looked at Aarav
"You came in your scooty or Divya's Bhai dropped?", Aarav asked assuming
"My scooty", Anu said
"Ok then, Arjun pick me from Anu's house after dropping Divya", Aarav said
I just nodded and they both left the place.. I looked at Divya who was already looking at me..
"You don't worry, I'll call Bhai.. he will come to pick me", she said
"That's ok Divya.. it's just dropping, come", I said
"No that's ok, you already dropped couple of times before.. I'll manage", she said
"So is there some restriction that I should drop you only these many times or so?", I asked
"Um.. no, not like that but still", she said
"That's ok.. I promised Anu that I'll drop you safe, so please come", I requested
She thought for a while and nodded her head.. I smiled and took her near my bike but wait.. I'm forgetting something
The ring..!!
"Ahh Divya", I called
She looked at me questioning..
"Will you atleast now accept the ring?", I asked her taking it from my pocket
"But why? I should rather give you something for helping me with my project", she said
"That's ok.. if you take this I'll accept your thanks.. if not no Divya", I said
"What are you threatening me?", She asked
"You helped me.. and for that all I could do is thank you genuinely, now if you accept that or no isn't my problem", she frowned
Dammit.. Arjun slow down, don't take dinosaur steps towards her.. remember I should take baby steps..?
"Shall we go?", She asked
I nodded and we directly drove near her house..
"Ok thanks for dropping.. I'll leave bye", she smiled
"Bye", I said half heartedly
She moved ahead but I saw her stop in between.. she turned back and came near me..
"Ok give", she forwarded her hand
Is she talking about the ring?
"Give what?", I asked to confirm
"What you wanted you give me before", she said
"The ring?", I asked smiling
She nodded shyly..
"But you said you wouldn't take?", I asked
"Yes but now won't you give?", She asked
"No no.. it's for you only", I said
I quickly took the ring and forwarded.. I so wanted to make her wear it, but may be in future.. I softly kept the ring on her palm and she smiled wide seeing it..
"It's beautiful, thank you", she smiled at me
"You liked it?", I asked
"Yeah", she said
"Ok then bye", she added
"So fast?", I asked
"Then? You wanna say something?", She asked
"Ahh.. no, ok fine bye, will meet tomorrow", I smiled
"Bye", she said and went inside
Finally she took the ring.. god knows what changed her mind, buy anyways I'm happy that she took..
I went back near Anu's house with the address she sent me a while ago.. her house is quite near to Divya's, it's around ten minutes away..
Divya
He asked me again.. and I denied to take the ring again..
He seems disappointed but I'm glad he didn't ask further..
We reached home and all the while I was thinking about the ring.. I mean, it was clear that he so wanted me to take that.. but he never actually forced me, he was trying it genuinely..
And moreover that was really beautiful, should I take? It will make him happy for sure.. but how does that bother me?
Ok I'll take.. I don't want him or anyone to be disappointed coz of me.. and I don't think it's any harm either..
His happiness was clear in his eyes and his smile.. I din't expect him to be this happy when I take the ring.. I bid bye to him and went to my house..
I got freshen up and sat on my bed taking my phone.. I'll call Anu, don't know what Aarav spoke..
"Hello", she spoke lifting the call
"Reached home?", I asked
"Yeah, some time ago", she said
"Okay.. you fine? What did he tell?", I aksed
"Nothing much.. he was thinking that I would take him in a wrong way, so he was just apologizing saying he din't mean to do and that just happened at the moment.. but I'm glad he din't regret it either, if he did then it would be still worst for me", she said it out
"Oh okay, now that it's cleared I think you shouldn't stick to that more.. anyways, I'll tell you something?", I asked
"Yeah", she said
"You both look good together.. you always wanted a love life right, why not him?", I asked smirking
"Just coz I said I don't regret what happened doesn't mean I like him.. he's such an idiot Divi, I don't want a boyfriend or husband who keeps arguing with me all the time.. I want a romantic guy which he surely isn't the one", she said
"Don't judge a book by its cover Anu.. why would he show his romantic angle to you even if he possess that?", I asked
"Ok that makes sence.. but still not him", she frowned
"Ok chill", I smiled
"Ok leave about Aarav.. you tell", she asked
"What should I tell?", I asked confused
"About Arjun.. he seem to be interested in you and you know it as well", Anu said
"I don't know.. and I don't know wanna think also.. it's better for both of us to stay away from eachother.. I'm not saying he's bad or something, he seems to be good and nice but you know it isn't easy for me Anu.. and eventually it will be touch for him as well", I said openly
"I know Divi.. but don't run away from him, ok do maintain your distance but don't run away from him or your feelings for him if any atleast in the future", Anu said
"But.. ok fine, we'll see", I shrugged
"Better.. ok then, I'm hungry so text you later", she said
"Yeah ok then, bye", I said and hung the call
I lied on my stomach and was thinking about what Anu said.. I know he's good, he likes me may be.. but I don't think it's right, it doesn't work ever..
He should probably not waste his time on me.. and should I tell him that? But what if he doesn't have such liking towards me and it's only me who's assuming such?
In that case I'll become the fool at last.. it's better I keep my distance and if he open up regarding this then I'll say him..
I looked at the ring which he gave me and smiled recalling his smiling face when I took the ring.. and the twinkle in his eyes..
Damn, his eyes.. they are so attractive, I love his eyes for some reason..
Ok enough of it.. don't think more of him Divi..!!
