Chapter Eight
Kavya entered the class and hunted for a spot to sit. She saw a pretty slim girl sitting alone on a nearby bench. She walked towards her and filled the empty space beside her.
"Hey....Kavya here..", Kavya said holding her hand forward.
"Hi... Daisy...", She replied and shook hand with Kavya.
Both took off talking and divulged their whereabouts, their schooling, friends and all which was coming naturally out. Daisy was basically from Mumbai and she lived nearby. It only took her 10 mins to drive college from her home. Kavya and Daisy got themselves comfortable with each other and it seemed they got a friend in one another. While Kavya was engrossed in talks with her new friend, the known figure entered the same classroom. His eyes instinctively got busy in the quest of the similar face with whom he just drove into. Within no time he captured that beautiful face just a few benches away from where he was standing. At a snail's pace he got himself occupied a place just in the line where Kavya was sitting. He sat in the corner where Kavya's face was completely visible to him. He couldn't help himself from looking at Kavya. Her almond shaped dark eyes, her silky smooth hair, her alluring smile, her mesmerizing face, all left him beguiled. A sudden jolt at the door made him come back to reality. He couldn't help himself but only smile because even he was puzzled of what was happening to him.
The next three hours went in introduction of their subjects. Teachers came in and introduced themselves and narrated the same old agenda of coming days in college, maintaining discipline, compulsory attendance and all rules and regulations. As it was the first day, Kavya's class ended in four hours.
Kavya texted Yash that she is done with her class and will be waiting for him in the college campus. Yash reverted her within no minutes that it will take him only 10 minutes to join her. Kavya rambled around the college campus to pass the few minutes until Yash comes and accompany her. Whilst Kavya was engaged in getting acquainted with the college compound, the same known figure stood along a short distance, stealing glimpses at her.He desired to go and approach her, but somehow couldn't muster the courage to do so. Getting a last peek of the day at her, he marched towards the exit with the hope of seeing her tomorrow as well.
As soon as Kavya saw Yash coming towards her both of their face was brighten by an inadvertent smile.
"Heyy.... So, how it did go..?? First day... Ehh..??"' Yash asked excitedly.
"Yeah... It was good actually. Teachers came and gave us the same old lecture... blah..blah... And ya made a new friend... Daisy...!!", Kavya replied with exhilaration.
"Ohhhh...Is she hot.. like mera setting lagega kya..??? ", Yash asked playfully.
"Why not... I'll introduce You tomorrow. Now shall we leave..."
Both drove to their respective home with chattering and giggling throughout their journey.
It was past ten when Kavya's mobile phone buzzed with the message of Yash in it.
"Come down.... :)"
Kavya bumped from her sofa and marched downstairs to meet Yash. She saw him sitting on the same bench but minus the usual cheerful face. He seemed a bit upset with something. Kavya occupied the empty space beside him and said, "Hi..." with a broad smile.
Yash replied a "hi" but in a whisper with half smiley face. For the first time there occurred a moment of silence between them. Kavya couldn't take the silence more and summoned to speak.
"Umm... Yash.. Is something bothering you..?? You been..very quiet..!! You can share with me.. whatever it is... Let it come out..!!"
"You would laugh if I tell you. I mean a guy talking those stuff is not usual.", Yash said.
"Try me...!!", Kavya replied.
"Alright, I have a friend. I mean he is my very close buddy. He is in a relationship with some girl. So my friend claim that he is loyal with that girl but the truth is he is not. He is quite flirtatious and pick up any random girl, though with this girl it's been a year. The girl is in illusion that he is loyal to her and is not aware of any of these things. Being his friend I'm confused should I confess this to that girl or let it go. And yes, I have made my friend understand that what he is doing is not legit but all in vain. He is too casual about all this. I don't know what to do Kavya.." Yash replied in grimace.
"Hmmm...what your heart says you to do..??? Just ask the inner you...What he really want you to do..??"
"I have a strong belief that I should go and confess about this to my friend's girlfriend. This isn't fair to her and her feelings. No one got this right to play with anyone's sentiments"
"Then listen to your inner you. It can never be wrong. And I'm sure your friend will definitely understand why you did it..may be sooner or later but sure he will. Don't worry...!!"
"Yup...U know....that dumb do like her...like more than like but he don't accept it because he is commitment phobic. Who knows, post breakup wo sudhar jaye. And Thank you so much..... I thought you would laugh or react in a weird way..." Yash winked.
"No way.. Infact, I'm so glad that even boys are emotional and they do understand the word 'sentiments'. Generally guys are stereotyped as emotionless and stoic but today I know, there are a few exceptions and I'm pleased to know this.", Kavya grinned.
Kavya was happy to see that Yash's smile was back and this time it wasn't a half smile, it was a genuine full smile. They sat there gazing at one another and sharing those tiny smiles of happiness.
"Hey....Kavya here..", Kavya said holding her hand forward.
