REGRETS: An Unspoken Longings

THE ENCOUNTER

A month has passed by since Suhani started her college. An she seems to be settling well.
Luckily she got a single room in her hostel and she has also made a new friends Nandini and Saanvi. Nandini is a freshmen like her and Saanvi is in her second year. They have become her close friends of her and  help her throughout. Things are going absolutely well. And she is quite happy with her progress.

The sprawling campus of ICAS was buzzing with activity as students darted between classes, chattering excitedly about the upcoming annual fest. Among them was Suhani. Today, however, her mind was preoccupied with a much more pressing matter: her group project on Media History, which was due in two days. She was convinced that the project would either make or break her GPA. As Suhani navigated her way through the crowded campus, clutching her notes and a cup of chai, she almost collided with a tall figure. The figure stumbled, nearly spilling a stack of papers.“Watch where you’re going!” the figure exclaimed, his voice laced with frustration.“Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” Suhani blurted out, her eyes wide with apology. The figure looked up, revealing a pair of mischievous eyes and a grin that could light up the darkest room. He was none other than Veer Mehra, the blue shirt boy who grabbed her attention just on her second day of college. It was obvious for Suhani to learn about him after few days as he is a heartthrob of the college and a Second Year student majoring in Engineering. Famous in girls due to his friendly and flirtatious nature. “Be careful.” Veer said, While helping her gather the stacks of paper that fell due to their collision. “So What's your name? ”Veer asked with a keen intrest to learn about na beautiful lady standing in front of him. "Suhani." Suhani smiled and replied. She want to keep it short and maybe avoid the conversation with a guy famous for his player ways. "Well nice to meet you Suhani. I am veer. Veer Mehra." Veer  said. Suhani smiled and  replied "nice to meet you too". Adjusting her glasses on her nose Suhani looked here and there in awkwardness of being not aware of what to say next. " Umm Well it was nice meeting you Veer but i need to get to the class now and thank you for your help." Suhani quickly said and turned to left when she felt a grip on her wrist. "It was nice to meet you too Suhani. Looking forward for future Encounters. " Veer smiled and passed her his one of the most charming smile wanting to woo the girl by his charm. While Suhani can't help but wonder how can a person be this handsome and beautiful. She gulped her dry throat and replied in a small voice. "Y-yes." And quickly snatched her wrist from his hand and walked toward her class room taking fast step and taking deep breaths to calm her racing heartbeats.

After 2 lectures....

Suhani's POV-:

I am currently in my last lecture before the break. As the proffesor continue his teaching my mind can't help but go back in the encounter with Veer Mehra. The college heartthrob and a player. Despite the image of being player girls can't help but swoon on him. I have to agree he is extremely charming and handsome. Good body good looks good personality he have everything. But one thing i don't like about him is that he is a heartbreaker. He use girls for his own fun. And i hate people like that. I know what he was trying to do in the hallway. He wanted to woo me with is charm i can read his face. Hah! Dumbo. He is everything i don't want in a boy. I would never ever get myself involved with a guy like him. Not even in my dreams. When first I saw him I was surely impressed by his aura and charm. But as the days went by and I noticed him every week I saw him with a new girl and I knew what he was.
He was....

Yeah I know great discovery no need to thanks me for that.
But anyways bak to the topic. He is a guy I would loveeee to stay away from. No dream. No goal. Just wasting his life. An unserious and careless guy like him is not my type and never will be. And on tthe first point I don't want to associate with any kind of guy. They are just a stupid distraction i don't want.
"Aren't you distracted now?"
My subconscious mocked me. And i realized what i was doing.
Why am I even thinking about him!! No. No. No. Come in your senses Suhani this is not the time. Yeah nothing. he is just a stupid guy you met. Just a stupid guy.
After slapping myself internally.  I focused on my lecture and began writing my notes.

Yeah just a stupid guy.

Veer POV-:

As i continued chatting with my friends sitting on the university ground under the tree. We all are just talking about useless things. Yeah ik so useless and unserious. But hey it's not my fault. It's just when you are with your one of the two closest best friend who are useless, bastards and biggest dumbos. You can never, I repeat never can actually talk about something productive.
You know what would happen if you do?
You will become a laughing stock for them for atleast two weeks.
And I have no interest on getting such and amazing title.
"So.. What's new? " Arjun  asked.
"Nothing yrr just lost and  frustrated." Vivaan replied.
I gave him a confused look and asked. "Why?"
Arjun looked at me and smiled mischievously and I raised my eyebrows.
Well something is definitely cooking.
And just then Arjun loudly sighed and said
"Ladki ka chakkar babu bhaiya ladki chakkar. "
(Definitely it is about a girl.)

As he completed his sentence he was generously rewarded by a hard punch on hi back by Vivaan.
"So what did i missed. " I asked him with a teasing smile and all my intrest.
He rubbed the back of his neck and said "uhh. So there is this girl. Umm fresher hai woh- um a-aur-"
He was speaking and was loudly interrupted by one very irritating and noisy person. "Internal sighing"
"Oh my goddddd!!!! The Vivaan Malhotra is blushinggggg!!! " Arjun loudly. "Sigh" Screamed on top of his lungs.
It grabbed the attention of other student who looked at us weirdly.
Vivaan quickly covered his mouth and punched him hard. Very hard on his stomach. He coughed for few minutes and then his grin was back. That irritating grin which haunt my dream.
And trust me. You would never. I mean never would want to get that grin directed toward you. Its horrible.
Speaking from experience. "Sigh x100"

"Haan bhai aange bol." (You continue) I said as vivan diverted his attention from glaring at Arjun to me.
"Haan as I was saying that she is a fresher I saw her at the library last week. And She was so pretty and nice. She helped me find a book I was searching for and I think I like her. I don't know yrr she is been in my mind since then I juat want her to be near me and that's it I don't know. "
As he finished his sentence I looked at him. He looked at me. Then I looked at Arjun and said
"Pyaar mein pad gya ladka apna." (Our guy is in love). Arjun seriously sighed and nodded and looked at Vivaan with sad expression.
"What? " Vivaan said looking between me and Arjun.
"Naam? " (Name?") Arjun asked Vivaan.
He rubbed the back of his neck and shook his head in a negative response.
I slapped my hand on my forehead.
"Department? " I asked.
And Vivaan gave me sheepish expression which gave me my answer.
"You are an idiot Vivaan. If you liked her then you should have asked her na." I said and Vivaan pouted.
I sighed and looked at Arjun.
Arjun grinned at me than at Vivaan and said.
" Koi na bhai main hoon na" I sighed at his dramatic ways.
"Listen don't worry we will try our best to find that girl okay." I said with confidence and determination and Vivaan smiled.

Well I don't think that it is a difficult task for me to find a girl.
'Wink. Wink'
I know most of the girls in college. Perks of having a such a handsome face. Though I don't know many girls from freshers but seniors I know. So it won't be so difficult. For me.

But if I expect Vivaan to do the same. He can take all years of college and still won't be able to find that girl.
Well Vivaan is quite guy whose main focus is his studies he hardly interacts with female species leaving his mothe obviously.

While Arjun is a complete crackhead Vivaan is very sensible and smartest among us three.

Me and Arjun are best friend from childhood we have always been a outgoing person so it hardly took us month to settle and make our place in the university. While Vivaan was struggling. Vivaan was Arjun's roommate. While I have my own single room in hostel.
Perks of being a rich brat.
With Arjun's outgoing personality we took Vivaan under our shell and now we three are unseperatable. Though He was hesitant at first but he soon opened up to us.
Though I have many friends but these two bastards unfortunately have special place in my heart and are the only people I trust.
They have been with me in all my ups and down and has never judged me.

They are my best friends and I want to keep it that way.

Let's see what this year hold for us.
