Kya Yhi Pyaar Hai?

I am back.

CHAPTER-2
KIARA'S POV

I am back. Back to india after so long. I missed everything here be it the culture, the crowd, the food and people, to be more specific a certain person. Shifting back here wasn't easy, specially when you got a over protective mamma bear and extremely excited papa bear. When I told them about my wish to come here they had gone bonkers.

Thousands of questions were asked, I had to take lots of swears of every God exist. Mom was minutes away to call her private detective to check about me. Where as dad he was excited more than me. According to him I should experience life and this is a great opportunity for me. So, after lots of flattering and promises mom agreed with a condition to keep her updated about my life.

Anyway so after reaching my house here in Delhi. I ordered lots of food for myself. Throughout my first day here I ate as if it was my last day on planet. Indian cuisine in German sucks. Both my parents can't cook to save life and the chef they hired there though cooks good but still the authentic taste of india was always missing.

Next day because of eating to much I got diarrhea. It took 4 days for me to get back to normal which taught me never to eat more then my capacity. I expected my parents to scold me but instead they just laughed it off. That concluded my first week in India to be quiet embarrassing and this incident is going with me to my grave.

It was Sunday when I decided to shift to college dorm. The dorm I have got is for three people. My roommates are Jaanvi and Tanishka.
Jaanvi is youngest among us. She is doing masters in psychology and Tanishka who is same age as mine is from sculpturing department. Jaanvi is the calm one, Tany (for tanishka) is craziest and I come somewhere between them which made it easier to click with them. They both helped me in settling and next day even escorted me to my class.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

So, today marked the first day of college. To say that I was excited would be understatement. My longing to see that person just increased by every second. The moment I stepped into the class professor asked me to introduce myself which I did, whilst my eyes searched for him.

The moment my eyes landed on him my smile widened. How I wish I could run to him and hugging but well we need to work for us to reach that stage. For now I have to be satisfied by just looking at him.

Nodding at the professor I walked toward where he was seated ignoring the curious looks I got. The closer I got the more fractically my heart beaten. The chair beside him was taken so I sat on the chair in the parallel row.
Putting my elbows on the desk, I rest my face between my palms and gazed at him.

Swastik. My academic rival.
How much I missed him. He is the reason for whom I choose this college. Also the reason why I came back to India. The person I loved to annoy the most. My first friend, nemesis, crush and now love.

He looks more hotter then before. During school time he had buzz cut but now he has grown his hair not much not less just enough to make him look sexy as hell. His dark brown hairs are messily spread over his forehead. He is still clean shaved. Even though he sitting I can tell he has grown taller then before. His eyes. Uff I wanna drown myself into them. Just like before his face is calmer them the sea. And that side profile is to die for.

I eagerly waited for class to end so that I could talk to him. Annoying him is seriously my favorite thing to do or I should say it the only way I had to make him talk to me. During school time I tried being friends with him but he hated me, I don't know why.

We have been in the same class since nursery, we should have been besties but no we weren't. He took me as he enemy. Whenever I talked to him, he either ignored me or said something that will irk me and we will end up fighting.

Once the class was up, I stood up with the speed of light and rushed near his desk. At first I thought he didn't recognized me but when he stepped closer and roam his eyes on all the features of my face I felt a jab of hurt. I wasn't able to take his face off my head throughout and he forgot me.

I soon recovered from it though and smirked to cover it up. But before I could say something he rushed out of the class leaving his friends and me beward.

Still I did talked to his friends. They are all nice people. Keshav is the funny one, Manthan is the foodie and Aarav is the sensible one. I had my lunch with them in canteen.
After lunch I roamed around the whole college clicking several photos. The guys did offered to give me a tour but I politely denied as I want to roam alone.

A secret. I thought maybe I would be able to see him if I look around and talk to him alone. But he was nowhere to be found with a sour mood I walked to my dorm.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"How was your first day?" I blinked and looked up from my phone at Tany.
"It was good. The campus is beautiful " I said putting my phone down
"It is right? Our campus is one the biggest one in Delhi " Jaanvi said
"It had to be beautiful with the amount of money we paid. Isn't it obvious? " Tany said with a roll of eyes
Not knowing what to say I just hummed.
Our college is full of elites there are only some scholarship student and Tany is one of them.

Even though Tany comes from a well do family but not as much as elites here. She is  scholarship student and doesn't really likes rich people. Me and jaanvi being exception.

"Anyways kiara you said you came to India after long right? So, let's go out and eat some street food today. It's been long since I and jaanvi has been out too" tany said

So, that evening we three went out. Had lots of street food. Clicked tones photos. Overall I enjoyed my time with them to the fullest. Looks like I have found my girls in india too.

At night my mind drifts back to Swastik . Did he not liked me being back? He didn't even said a simple hello. Arrogant ass.
I looked at his photo on instagram. He has that rare smile on his face that can make anyone swoon over him. It's from his graduation day. He is looking handsome as hell in that graduation cape and hat.
"I will ignore you too, how dare you  ignore me like that" I said in mind looking at his photo.

°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Next day. I am again sitting on the same seat as yesterday, gwanking at him screetly. God surely have favorites I must say.
"Ms Oberoi out of the class" I heard professor yell
Realizing he is speaking to me . I stood up and looked at professor.
"What did I do sir?" I said
"I have been calling you for a while but you were busy staring at Mr Swastik. So, do one thing leave my class" he said pointing towards the door.

Other students laughed at me. I smile sheepishly. Looking down i curse myself.
"Sorry sir" I said
"Out" he said
I heard Swastik snicker. I glare at him. He is looking in front but the way he snickered I know he is enjoying this. I will see him later.
Apologing again I walked out of the class.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Swastik" I yelled holding the railing of stairs. Making him stop on his track. Taking my bag from the floor I rushed down the stairs and jogged till I was infront of him.
"Hey" I said waving my hand with a smile on my face.
He stared at me cold eyes for a few seconds before walking past me, bumping my shoulder intentionally.

My jaw dropped as I looked at his retrieving figure. This man. If not for the love I have for him. I would have kicked his ass. This jerk, bast-
Oh he seriously knows how to walk like a model. Can these girls just stop staring at him

Shaking my head at my adhd self. With a sighed I decided to go to cafeteria.
Enough of embarrassment.
As I walked my mind kept on playing the scene that happened a few minutes ago.

Maybe he was having a bad day. I touched my right shoulder where he had bumped and smiled shyly. Lifting up my jacket I sniffed it. I feel like I am crazy to be able to smell his cologne. He touched my arm. I think I shouldn't bath for a week.

"Creep" Tany said side eyeing me as I reached near the table.
"Hey" I said to her friend who smiled back
"Tujhe canteen mai rhne ke alwa koi kaam dhandha nhi hai kya" I said snatching Tany's coffee from her hand

Taking a sip I gag at its taste. It's so bitter.
"Yeah just like you jise chalte firte day dream karne ki adat ho gyi hai" she said rolling her eyes

"Hush hush" I said narrowing my eyes
"Call Janvi too. Lunch karne bhar chalte hain" Tany's friend said
I nodded.
