Love dose

Anurag and Tanya

" Tanya, how is Auno? did you speak to him? when will he return?" Seema aunt, my mom in law's sister asked me.

It was Anurag's cousin's wedding today and the whole family is present, except.... my Auno sigh!

Anurag and I met at college, we had the usual kind of college love story.

We crossed each other's life in our final year, till then I was doing my own thing; hanging around with friends and studies and he with his sports and studies, he didn't have a lot of friends, he spoke little and kept to himself in spite of being in sports.

In our final year all the students were eager to watch the basket ball match which was happening in our college grounds with our college team in the final, I had no clue about any sport, but was dragged along with my friends to watch and cheer on.

As I watched the match, my eyes fell on Auno. When a good pass or shot was done by the teammates he would simply clap, his face devoid of any emotion and resume back to the game in seconds.

I found him erh, attitude types cause I thought he didn't like appreciating anyone and cares about himself alone, uh!.

I soon realised I was too quick to pass judgment, he shot a basket, and he just ran around taking his position,without bothering to get acknowledged, I narrowed my eyes at him and for the rest of the match my eyes didn't leave him, why? I don't know, I was very occupied watching him play, that I didn't realise my friends had bid bye and left.

We lost by one point, yet the whole college cheered on, I noticed the tired frame of Auno depart from the crazy crowd, I went after him, I called out to him "excuse me, excuse me " I didn't know his name back then, he turned around, an annoyed expression on his face, "hi, I'm Tanya, I'm doing my final year, you played well Congrats " I said cheerfully and extended my hand to him, he looked at my hand and then my face, he rolled his eyes, turned away and walked off haa!! I looked at him shocked, I went behind him and held his hand, he jerked it off violently, I lost my balance and was falling woo... I grabbed something as my eyes closed involuntarily, I still went down but stopped, my heart beats came back to me, I breathed heavily in and out, steadying myself, opened my eyes, I scanned the surrounding, I noticed Auno's face a few inches away from mine, his face was void of emotion but his eyebrows were narrow , his gaze burning me."what?" I said and raised my eyebrows, he rolled his eyeballs towards my body, I looked down, that's when I realised his arms around my hips, my eyes widened in shock, "move!" I said placing my palm on his broad chest, he stayed still, " this is what you girls want right? " he said with confidence in his voice.

"what nonsense? I didn't ask you any of this, who asked you to hold me?, let go, let go ." I said wriggling out, he looked to his side irritatedly and removed his hands, thud!! I fell on the ground haa?? this guy...

Soon we met again, I was in the infirmary, taking care of my friend who had caught the flu and had nausea, the nurse left the room for a few minutes, I was taking a look at the room, the door slowly opened I turned and saw that it was a badly bruised Auno, my heart felt heavy due to concern, being the softy I was I wanted to help him "ah! oh my God, come here " I said and led him to sit on a bed, I quickly took the cotton and rubbed antiseptic on it and dabbed it on his face, he flinched, I felt shaky seeing him like this.

As I was cleaning the wounds, the nurse arrived and took over, she needed help with tying the bandage on his hand and knee, I stayed and helped.

That was the first time we actually had a decent meet, we had coffee together that day,as per nurse's instruction, she told him to have something and according to Auno, coffee was good enough, weird guy! although he didn't tell a simple 'thank you', he didn't have the look of disgust, as if I was just like those spoilt girls, towards me.
