CHAPTER 24
AUTHOR'S POV
"Nah but since the fest is after the freshers party! We still have time to prepare "Dev said and Riya nodded
Both walk together in their club! Riya had dressed up wearing a sky blue top, white pants, oxidised earrings and her curly hairs left open.
She had her backpack and held it tightly as if her entire life depended on it.
Cause the man walking beside her had a different vibe around.
He seemed like he woke up just to brighten the sun and motivate him to brighten more.
So happy, so carefree and full of life that Riya Envy his attitude.
Dev was dressed up in a grey shirt and black pants, his hands suddenly decorated in rings
It was like the first time Riya saw him in a shirt and her eyes forgot how to blink looking at those muscles which flexed even when he bent down to tie his shoelace.
"So after freshers party it's going get hard to catch you?" Riya asked and Dev nodded
"Yep! Club head duties you see" he told as his hands lifted his collar.
Riya nodded smiling looking at the man who was full of self-praises. She pulled out her backpack to front dug up pulled out a tiffin box and passed it to him.
"What this?" He asked taking it from her hands.
"Gulab jamun " she replied
"You treated me to ice cream twice maybe I should treat you with something so...." She told and Dev nodded smiling.
Dev walked to the corridor range which was large enough for him to sit and open the box.
Riya stood next to him with her hands folded across her chest, a smile dancing on her lips looking at him.
"What happened?" He asked looking at her stare at him
"Nothing!" She said and continued to look at him
After a few seconds of silence, she started!
"Do you have any aim or dream in life?" She asked still smiling at his carefreeness
Dev nodded with his mouth full of gulab jamun
" I do I do" he hurriedly as if she would leave if he delayed a minute more
"10 kids! I wanna have 10 kids" he said placing the Tiffen box aside and showing his 10 fingers.
Riya was too stunned to speak! She did not know if he was serious or had no idea if people had dreams of 10 kids but she did not know how to ask him so she just smiled *awkwardly*
Dev pulled his backpack to the front placed the box carefully jumped down the embankment and smiled at her.
Noticing a group of his classmates approaching him. He looked at Riya and smiled.
"You be seated inside! I will join you in a few minutes" he said and she nodded as she walked away.
Dev liked how she was comfortable around him. She was not the only girl he talked to or had been friendly with but she .....
She was different! She felt like earth to him.
Calm, beautiful and slowly going around him and his mind every day.
Being the club head almost from 2nd year, Dev was always been running around every Friday and Saturday but ever since He shook hands with Riya as friends.
He wanted to spend time with her, she had that comfort vibe around her. She felt like a warm scarf on a winter evening.
Other than Vikram, Aravind and Arjun - Dev felt this kinda warmness from Riya and he kinda liked it.
Dismissing his friends after clearing their doubts, Dev looked around and found cherry blossom tree branches.
When the world was filled with ' Look at the moon, look at the stars kinda people' he was looking at that flower kinda man and he knew beside him it was Riya who loved flowers.
He immediately rushed inside the classroom.
"Riya Riya come with me " he told hurriedly as if the tree would disappear if he delayed a minute more.
Riya too immediately followed him and Dev took her to the same place where he ate gulab jamun.
He pointed at the cherry blossom and watched her eyes shine just like how he did.
Something like this made Dev so happy.
"This is so beautiful" she whispered looking at those flowers
" Yes it is" he replied looking at her
"Hey, dev!" A deep voice brought the couple back to earth who were about to get lost in the beauty of nature.
Riya turned around hearing the familiar voice.
"Hey, Sameer!" Dev welcomed him and gave a handshake.
And Riya felt like someone just pulled away the ground under her feet, she felt her knees going jelly, her eyes tearing up and her smile breaking up.
Sameer was no less than Riya! He looked at her with equal shock and a smile.
"Oh yes! Sameer this is Riya! My friend and Riya this is Sameer, my roommate!" Dev introduced each other looking at them stare
"I know!" Sameer asked brutally making Riya's eyes wider
"She was my classmate in middle school" he added dev looked at Riya and she nodded
"Acha! Then I have a wonderful vocalist and fabulous pianist on my team!" Dev said happily walking into the class.
Sameer stood there watching Riya, his own eyes not sure if she was she.
"Sameer come here" Dev yelled as he got into the classroom
It did not take a minute for Sameer to run back to him.
Riya stood in her place, still processing what was happening.
Sameer is here! In her college! He is Dev's roommate! And her club member
And just when she thought her life was gone smoothly, there came Sameer.
