Sometimes............ It's too LATE.....!!!

Chapter Seven

As per her usual routine, Kavya came downstairs to walk past her dinner. Her eyes were searching for Yash as they decided to meet after dinner, but he was yet to come. Kavya sat on the swing of her society garden and waited for Yash to join her. On the other hand Yash preferred coming post Kavya because he liked to get those unknown glimpses of her. Yash came down and started walking leisurely towards Kavya, whereas Kavya was unaware of his arrival because she was lost in the pleasure of swinging along with the cool breeze. As soon as Kavya saw Yash she landed off her swing and screamed "Hi" waving him...!!! She dropped down and started walking towards Yash.

"Wait there, I'll join you....!!", Yash motioned towards Kavya and occupied the other swing. Yash and Kavya again shared some simple smiles to each other as they both somewhere deep down knew, something was changing between them, the only thing they didn't know was whether it was a good change or a bad change.

"You are late Yash... I have been waiting for you ..... Kitna khata hai tu re...", Kavya giggled.

"I know that you were looking for me. Oh.. God, why am I so handsome... These poor little girls.... Phew...!!!!', Yash said mockingly.

"Oh yeah, I understand people live with certain misconceptions... Can't help it. Life is tough sometimes.. ", Kavya quipped.

"Hahahaha.... So funny.. !!", Yash scoffed.

"Anyways, I got my SIM card today. Even texted you, seems you didn't receive my message."

"Is it...!! Let me check my phone."

"Are... I got your message now. Nevermind, I'll save it now. Hey Kavya do you wanna have tea?? ", Yash asked.

"What... Tea and that too now... !! Weirdo... First of all I don't drink tea Yash and where you gonna have your tea now..??? ", Kavya queried.

"Woo.... Hold on.. !! There is a tapri on just 10 mins walking distance from our society. And if you don't like tea you can have coffee. At least try once you gonna love it."

"Hmmmm... Fine... Let's try your tapri wali coffee."

Yash and Kavya both walked leisurely towards the tea stall. They barely talked while walking. Yash could feel the attraction towards her. He never missed the chance of getting a glimpse of her when she wasn't looking at him. Whereas Kavya knew that Yash time and again glanced at her, but she didn't mind at all. She smiled inside, but was hardly able to restrain herself from the blush.

"Boss, ek masala chai aur ek coffee"' Yash ordered.

After a few minutes Yash and Kavya both were holding their tea and coffee respectively.

"Hmmm... Not bad yaar... !!", Kavya said.

"See I told you. You know I always come here after my dinner for this lovely tea and I suppose I'm going to get a company now...", Yash replied.

"Yes for sure..!! I'm glad I came here. The coffee is really nice. Better than those so called coffee shops. So reasonable and tasty too."

"I agree completely.', Yash stated.

Both finished their tea and coffee and prepared to leave. Yash was about to pay when Kavya denied him to pay for her but soon she realized that she wasn't with her wallet.

"Chill Kavya. Okay will make a deal. We would pay alternatively alright.", Yash said.

"Yeah, that will do.", Kavya affirmed.

Both walked back home. Waving bye and wishing each other good night Yash and Kavya entered their home. Kavya went straight to her bed and couldn't stop smiling. Even she was bewildered of what was this smile, blush and feeling were, when a sudden beep of message from her mobile grabbed her attention. Reading the message only escalated her smiling curve.

"Good night Kavya :) "

Yash texted her. Kavya replied the same and both dossed off with a smile on their face.

The next was Kavya's first day of college and as any ordinary girl she was excited and nervous as well. Kavya's mobile ringed the alarm bell and a message tune as well. With squinted eyes, she opened the text and it immediately got her a huge smile. Yes, you all guess it right Yash texted her,

"Good morning.. :) Have a wonderful day..!!"
Kavya typed a Thank you and reverted him. Kavya got her shower and picked the best dress she could. She chose to wear a pink kurta  accessorized with long jhumkas and dark kohl in her eyes. Her hairs were set free, which aptly complimented her attire and personality. Kavya hugged her mom and scurried downstairs where Yash was waiting for her. Yash was already down with headphones plugged in and engrossed in mobile. His rumpled hair and stubble look made him even more desirable and cute. Yash was about to call Kavya when he inadvertently saw her coming towards him. He couldn't set his eyes off to her. Her bouncing hair, glittering earrings and pink kurta surged her beauty.

"Heyy.... Sorry I'm late. Let's move. It's my first day yaar..can't afford to be late.", Kavya said.

"Hmmm....yeah...!! Let's go.", Yash wanted to say that she looked beautiful, but he restrained himself from doing so.

Kavya's hair was dancing to the tune of the air. They unknowingly got their abode on Yash's face as he was just sitting next to Kavya in an auto. Kavya just looked outside and Yash himself glued to her face. Yash knew that he was getting inclined towards Kavya. Those feelings were novel to him, but he didn't mind at all.

Yash's friends were already waiting for him at the college gates and as any close friend, being with a new girl made them goggled. Yash introduced Kavya to his friends and let her inside.

"Sorry for that look from my friends. You know how guys are.. Just ignore... ", Yash said apologetically.

"Haan... I know, but don't be sorry. That's fine.... Chill maar yaar...!!", Kavya winked.

"Okay, listen I have to attend my class so have to leave now. Take the first left and there is your class, room no. 311. Alright....!!", Yash uttered.

"Yeah, Thank you. Meet you after the class. Bye..."

 Yash blinked and waved bye to her. Both moved towards their respective classes.

Kavya kept walking and turned left  as Yash told him to do. Just as she turned left, she bumped into someone which made her almost fall, but the unknown figure held her with hands around her arms and didn't let her fall.  Kavya balanced herself and saw a lean, tall guy with a boyish look standing in front of him. Before the boy could apologize, Kavya uttered Thank you and sorry both to him and walked away. She didn't give him a chance to speak. On the other hand, the boy's eyes walked along with Kavya. He tried to capture every movement of her as far as possible until Kavya found her classroom and disappeared.
