Yours Enchanted

Ayansh

After we(Me and Mansi) returned to our table I caught Parth smirking at me, he was the first one I made eye contact with. Then I turned to Shriyan and he was doing the same.

We settled on our places and found her friends and my friends looking at her. I could sense that she was feeling uncomfortable but chose to maintain the silence for now if any of them spoke something or attempted to tease her or Me, I was ready to give a not-so-good answerback. But thankfully they didn't.

After some minutes Mansi and her friends left the club, and now there are only three of us. Both Parth and Shriyan were talking among themselves and were stealing glances at me. I just waited for them to start the conversation.

And finally, they did. Parth said to Shriyan in a loud voice enough for me to hear, "I think bro this single life is finally gonna end for at least one of us. What do you think?"

To which Shriyan said, "Yeah I agree with you. Am I right Ayansh? I am already in to witness the first romance of our group..."

I could see how excited both of them were. And I think it's the time where I have to clear myself that I am not interested right now. I agree that she's beautiful but I just feel that we may not be compatible and she could find anyone better than me.

So I replied, "There's nothing like that and I am not interested in giving you all the 'first romance of our group'" The last part was especially for Shriyan.

But Parth immediately said, "But it's my gut feeling that 'First Romance' will be given by you only. The way you look at her says it all, the way you were holding her hand when you both returned. The way you were watching us like 'say or tease her and you gonna die' look. I've never seen you like that with any other girl."

As soon as he said that the thought crossed my mind too. She looked soo beautiful and elegant like a ray of sunshine on a wintery dusk. I had this sudden urge to protect her from all the evil eyes I could feel in the club. And so I kept my eyes on her for the whole time. I like to read her expressions, they say so much like a little confused, then a sense of knowing me, and then calmly introducing herself when she first saw me here when Parth was introducing us to the girls. I mean she's cute too, I couldn't distract myself with anything else it's like when she's around me I am willing to give all my attention to her and observe her to know her inner thoughts.

I am experiencing this for the first time.

Watching me in this deep thought, Shriyan shook me slightly to gain my attention and said, "Bro it's okay we know that you are totally smitten by her beauty."

And I replied, "Shut up stop talking about me and I could say the same thing about you guys too. Don't think I don't know anything I have eyes too." I continued but pointed to Parth "I could see the sparks when you were arguing with...what was her name again?" and asked Shriyan.

To which he laughed and said, "Something Star, umm Tara I think...? Looking towards Parth and asking if he was right.

But Parth replied, "It's Sitara, you idiot!!! It is such a simple name you guys can't even remember it. And there were sparks...but of 'Anger'!!"

On his reply me and Shriyan just watched each other and passed a knowing smile.

Then I said, "Yes yes convince yourself. Now let's eat and return to the dorm"

Both of them nodded and finished quickly so that we could return and meet Yashith. He didn't join us today because he had a virtual meeting with the board members today.

Now we are inside the dorm and sitting on the sofa, while Parth is shouting and calling Yashith out from his room.

He came outside, passed a smile to us, and sat with us. Both the guys (Parth and Shriyan) were so excited to share everything with him so they were talking and he was listening it with all his interest. I don't know how this guy manages everything, I mean he studies, gives exams, is a topper, gets a scholarship, handles company matters, and whatnot. I am so proud of him.
