Forever? ||

18.

Time passes away when you are busy making memories they say . Another week had passed , till now malishka and balraj had been eliminated . These crazy lot had grown closer together as they spent most of their days together.

Karan and teja were  closer and more comfortable with each other , even with bits of intimacy. A few flirty lines here and there , a few sweet moments , glances at each other when they both weren't together. From their secret smiles to them being connected to the hip , most of the contestants had guessed something was brewing . The teo looked so fresh and new in love , oblivious to the world around them , that they couldn't even hide their small gestures and closeness from others.

Everything felt like a bliss to the two of them. They were enjoying this cute phase but none wanted to name the unknown feelings. None of both of them wanted to question what was this going on between .

He stood  a little distance far from her door and waited for her using his phone. He heard the jiggle pf her door knob and walked ahead to her room as if he just came out of his own. He saw hwr locking her door and waited for her to look at him when she was done but she didn't like she usally did. Was this girl that sleepy that she didn't feel his presence . He chuckled mentally a bit and tapped her shoulders as she made her way towards the lift in the lobby.

" Good Morning Laddoo " He chirped falling in step with her

" Morning " She muttered slowly which if the lobby wasn't silent he wouldn't have heard . Just a morning in reply ? What happened to the excited , chirpy teja who jumped and wished cheerfully .

" You okay ? " He asked gently but her face had a constant frown and she looked lost .

" Teja ? " He nudged a but as they entered the lift and she looked like she just came to reality

" Huh ? " She asked and he frowned. What the fuck had happened . Did he do something ?

" I asked if you are okay ? " He repeated and she nodded a little . He sighed at her behaviour . On the way to bus , he tried initiating conversation, but it felt like she was shutting it all out

When they entered the bus , she took a single seat and plugged in her earphones , leaning against the window

He kept looking at her throughout , she would open and check her phone jn every 10 minutes , typing something. He didn't know what was happening. Why was she behaving so u like her. He felt extremely bad at her ignorance .

She was shaken up and lost the entire time , refused to speak to anyone . She hadn't even spoken a sentence properly only replying in one words or by shaking her head. He wanted to go and scream in her ears to tell her to react , to talk . He missed her voice , he missed her jumping aorund , he missed her vibrant smile and laugh and the funniest thing it hadn't even been a few hours .
