Nitya

Sitting in my lecture hall all I can manage to think about is,
That kiss.

Why did he kiss me?
Why did I let it happen?
Why did I let that kiss consume me whole and give in?
Why did I kissed him back?
I know ki I like him but is it more than that?

Wow!? Look at the irony we're supposedly having a love marriage and I even like my fiancé but? None of this is real.
We aren't real.

Growing up I always wanted to marry my childhood sweetheart that kid I met long ago.
Now toh I don't even remember his face.

I just remember that plain white T-shirt he was wearing with that blue jeans.
How could a kid that young wear such plain clothes?
That was all I was thinking about once I was at home from that incident.
An incident I don't wanna think about.
A kid I no more know.
A love that is gone.
Love? Was it love?
I don't know but it was something,
A connection between a kid and another kid who was not supposedly like a kid.

My thoughts were interrupted by one and only.
My bestie.

"Kya soch rhi ho Janeman?" She asks while wiggling her eyebrows
(What are you thinking Darling?)

"Missing my jijs?"

"Jijs? Ab ye kaun hai?"
(Jijs? Now who's this?)

"Arre my jiju yaar!" She says with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Tsk! Chup kar please, I don't wanna think about him at all."

( Tsk! Shut up please, I don't wanna think about him at all)
"Kyu? Kuch kha Kya unhone tereko?!
Tu bata mai Abhi baja ke aati hoon usme
meri jaan ko Kya kha uss chirkut ne?!"

(Why? Did he say something to you?! Just tell me I'll go and kick that shorty's ass)

"Chirkut? Miss malhotra, care to share with the rest of the class what you're talking about?"
(Shorty? Miss malhotra, care to share with the rest of the class what you're talking about?)

I look around and see,
Him
Again?!
Aghhhhh!!!

Ohh wait! He heard her?!
Shit!

Before I could speak
Ishu says

"Yes sir why not?"
"We were just bad mouthing my hone wale jiju"
(We were just badmouthing my future brother in law)

"Oh really?" He asks while looking at me

"Yeah, you see he's kind of an asshole and keeps troubling my bestie so I asked her if she want me to kick his-"
I cover her mouth before she could speak further.

"I'm sorry for her behaviour sir" 
I apologise while looking in his eyes.

"You two! Out now!"
He says calmly with a smile on his face.
Playing me again? Abhi?

"Okay Mr. Rathore" I say with an eye roll while leaving the lecture hall and dragging ishu with me.

me and ishana sit on the bench outside, a bit far from our lecture hall. once we're seated i say

"Ishu, Kya zarurat thi itni Bakwas krne ki hn!?"
(Ishu what was the need to talk such bullshit hn!?)

"He eavesdropped on our conversation, Nitya! Everybody knows not to do that!
How dare he!?"
"First he fucks up your mind, then even eavesdrop on your conversation?!"

"And wait! He even had this audacity to come here as our own professor?!
The heck is wrong with that guy!"

"I know but-"
