Laxita - The Mage's Awakening

6 - Surprise!!!

Laxita's POV

It has been a few months since I started my education here. The last few months have been absolutely delightful. I am acing my subjects and having fun with my friends. Also, I regularly write to my parents and they are very happy with my achievements. And yes, Yash and Vanya are in a relationship now. Vanya also confessed her feelings two days later. All of us had no idea that she liked him. Needless to say we were all surprised. And as far as Nakul and I are concerned, I would say that except holding hands that day, nothing has happened. We haven't even held hands after that. I know right. But I still haven't lost hope. I'm sure he will reciprocate my feelings one day. But right now, there is another problem.

"Can you please take your romance elsewhere? Single people like me are getting uncomfortable over here," Keshavi said.

To be honest, she wasn't wrong. Yash and Vanya have become extremely affectionate with each other and now we have to deal with them. It was a common occurrence now and as it was dinner time, Yash was feeding Vanya by his hand.

"Yes, please go somewhere else, it is not a pleasant sight. Her hands are perfectly fine so you don't have to feed her," Nakul said. He looked irritated.

Vanya started coughing loudly and blushed due to embarrassment. Yash patted her back and gave her water.

"Can all of you please shut your mouths? Are you alright, love?"

Their public displays of affection were definitely making Keshavi uncomfortable and Nakul sick. On the other hand I was looking at them in awe. Honestly, I was kind of jealous of their relationship. I wanted to know how does it feel when someone loves you this much. On the other hand, there was Nakul and me. We have made no progress. He was still that same old cold and aloof man. 

Since the festive season was near, all of us have been given holidays. The classes will begin again after three months. All of us were going home. I had written to my parents stating that I won't be coming home since I plan to study here. There were many students who were actually not going home. But actually, I was going home and I wanted to surprise them.

It was morning and we had our breakfast. I was packing when I heard a knock on my door. I opened the door and saw that Keshavi was standing there with her luggage. 

"Are you all set to leave?" I asked.

"Yes, I am. I just wanted to inform you that I am leaving. Also, I wanted to meet you one more time before leaving."

"Safe travels. See you in three months," I said that and hugged her. After that, she left.

Keshavi was leaving today with the students of Varshapura. The rest of us were going to leave tomorrow. All 4 of us were going together. Yes, a short trip home with Nakul. Vanya and Yash were also going with us but I doubt that they would be paying us any attention. That means no one was going to disturb us. It was a golden opportunity and I was not going to let it slip by.

The next morning arrived and I was already buzzing with excitement. It was going to be so much fun. We had our breakfast and then we went to get our luggage.

"Are you ready?" Vanya asked. She had arrived at my door.

"Yes, I'm coming!"

Both of us headed towards the horse carriage which we had hired. Yash and Nakul loaded our luggage and then we set out for journey. We were actually travelling in a convoy so there were many more people with us in different carriages who were going to Kshatra Gadh.

"The first thing which I'm going to do when I reach home is sleep comfortably. The last few days at the University were really tiring and now this long journey...I seriously just want to take a nap right now," Vanya said.
