The trouble with love (II)

Chapter 7

*Not edited*

When we reached the hackathon's venue there were a lot of students from different states of India. There were a few familiar faces as well but most of them were strangers.

As it was a national level hackathon , the place was was quite huge , all the arrangement were mesmerizing and above all everything was free of cost.

We first went to the tent, there were two long fully air conditioned tents, one for the girls and other for the boys respectively. We had our sleeping arrangements there but we were not supposed to sleep only rest, like atleast two member of the team needs to be the desk, coding and this was the reason it is called hackathon.

We kept our luggage safely, took our laptops and went to the coding room. We settled ourselves on a table and next to us there it was, Randhir and his team ,grabbing their table. 

I ignored and so does Vidushi and only if Randhir was able to do the same thing , there would be no problem.

"Hey, Sanyukta ain't you tired ?" He asked. "No" I was still typing something on my laptop.

"oh so you're using jQuery (a programming language) for front end" he exclaimed "if you need any help do let me know" he continued

Randhir has helped us a lot in our last competition. It was only because of him we were able to reach the top 20.

"No,we can do it our own, you have helped us enough." Vidushi gestured him to excuse.

and he followed her command.

We did coding for atleast five continuous hours and we were alot tired because of the travelling and decided to sleep in turns.

I and Vidushi stayed and jignesh along with kaustuki went to their respective tents.

It was then when Randhir rudely ordered Vidushi to meet him outside the tent.

Vidushi was left with no option but to follow.

"This isn't how you talk to a girl" I said slowly but firmly tone.

"You don't know anything Sanyukta just don't come in between us" Randhir went for Vidushi's hand but I stopped him from doing so and dragged Vidushi along with me outside in an empty place.

"I am telling you Sanyukta,you don't know anything" Randhir kept on repeating the same line and Vidushi had nothing to say.

"She need not to know anything Randhir" Vidushi replied and Randhir looked at her angrily "I love Vidushi , Sanyukta and this she can't understand" Randhir shrugged angrily

"So this is how you are going to treat her?" this slipped out of my mouth

"Ofcourse not" Randhir shook his head and took a deep breathe after understanding his mistake.

"I know jignesh like her and this is the reason he is in your team" Randhir clarified "but this friend of yours didn't allowed me to be a part of your team because I confessed it to her"

That was too much information in a limited time. Vidushi knew all of this before coming to Delhi and she never cared to explain it to me? If only she had shown a little bit of trust I would be more careful.

I turned towards Vidushi with lot of questions in my eyes and she only replied , strictly avoiding any eye contact "Randhir is only guessing about Jignesh's feeling and all I don't really think it to be true,"

Yesterday's Randhir and jignesh little argument played in my head and certainly I understood their respective behaviour.

Randhir thinks jignesh like Vidushi and apparently Jignesh misunderstood that Randhir have feelings for me.

"If a guy likes a girl she understands it and if Vidushi is denying it ,it means there is nothing you can trust your friend Randhir" it was a casual reply

Randhir's worries disappeared,a peaceful face was visible and a deep smile came forward with a good message, "I don't know but how are you capable of doing this, Sanyukta, if only Vidushi had this capability I would have to be awake for the past 2 days"

"I understood your problem vidushi and I won't bother you much but we can be friends?so friends"Randhir didn't waited for her reply but assumed it to alright to be her friend.

The matter was solved atleast that's what I assumed it to be.

"if you need any help do let me know" Randhir said, waving us a bye.

"I am not comfortable with Randhir around us and this is the reason I avoided him."Vidushi said as soon as Randhir disappeared from our frame.
"He is just obsessed with me and he is coming up with stories finding ways to be near me" Vidushi retorted.

Vidushi might be right but he wasn't making stories , he just knew half truth because of which all of this is happening.

Vidushi and I returned to the table and continued our work , Randhir was normal again but he keeps visiting our table frequently.

There was a nice lawn where people were also chilling , Randhir wanted us to join but as Vidushi wasn't comfortable and me not wanting to make a scene at 2:00am in the night joined him.

I was walking outside when jignesh called out my name.

"Where are you going? Are you feeling tired? You can sleep I will join Vidushi" Jignesh was worried but soon his worrisome face dropped into anger when he saw Randhir behind me.

"Oh ! so this is the reason"

he assumed , like all the other stupid human on this planet.

He assumed something which wasn't real.

He ran past me as if my sight disgusted him.

Randhir didn't cared about him and at this point I didn't cared anymore so I went straight to the tent and slept.
