Best Friends Forever(#YourStoryIndia)

Ana POV

I saw Diya blink back tears at Sam's behavior. He is damn possessive when it comes to Diya. I think he knows that she could do so much better than him and she would leave him for someone else,  one day. I could actually see that happening in the near future. 

Diya turned towards us and acted like nothing happened and Afreen and I choose to ignore it too. They would sort things out later or something. We then made our way to class. 

"I want few of you to go out and give invites to other colleges for the  National Conference." Sir said. 

The whole class of 85 raised their hands,  ready to ditch classes and loiter around outside. 

Sir chuckled and said, "I can't allow all of you to go. Sameer, I will give you the invitations. You and your friends can go." 

Sam grinned and said, "Okay, sir." 

Everyone groaned in dismay and looked away in envy. My group of friends was well known among the students and the  professors in college and sometimes we got special preference, like today. After the class,  my group got together outside.  Sanjana, Chavi , Afreen and Abhay refused to come. Diya had refused too, but, Sam had begged her come with him, all their previous argument forgotten. So it was decided that Sam would go with Diya, Harshad with Harsh , Meghana with me.  Meghana had wanted to go with Harshad, but, she was the one who had the scooter, so it was decided that I would go with her. 

I was waiting with the others for Meghana to come as she was talking to Harshad, privately. We took our invites and were moving down the stairs when Harshad ordered, "Meghs drive carefully. Don't drive fast." 

Meghana rolled her eyes at me and almost yelled in frustration, "I will fuck him." 

We stilled, shocked at what she said, while  Meghs face bloomed to a dark shade of red and all of us busted out laughing. 

"You can do that later Meghs." Sam teased her. 

She just stomped her foot and walked out. 

************************************************************************************************************

It was late in the afternoon by the time Meghana and I finished going around to other colleges. Sam, Harsh, Harshad, Diya ,  Meghana and I had decided to meet at the mall, once we were done with our job and now, we were headed there. 

"Everyone's already there." I told Meghana. 

"Tell them we will be there in 5 minutes." Meghana said. 

We were just around the corner from the mall when Meghana stopped,  in the middle of the street.

"What's wrong?" I asked, getting down. 

"The front tire got punctured. Shit!!!" She said. 

We pushed the vehicle to the side of the street so as not cause any traffic. I wiped the sweat from my brow.

"Harshad, My scooter's  tire got punctured. No,  there's no garage here." She said, talking to him on her phone.  

Meghana turned towards me and said, "Harshad is coming." 

I nodded. We waited for around 10 minutes for him to come. 

When he did come, Meghana said, "Please, Ana, wait here with my scooter. We will go get a mechanic."

I looked at her sharply and said, "You want me to wait here alone? Let Harshad go get the mechanic." 

"Please, Ana. 10 minutes,  we will be back." Harshad said and they both zoomed away, before I could reply. 

I stood there in disbelief. I couldn't believe it,  my so called friends left me here all alone. I saw that it was already 5 in the evening. I sat dejectedly on the scooter, having no choice but to wait for them. After half an hour,  I was frustrated and was about to call them when I saw a guy on a black Royal Enfield park next to me.  He was wearing a white shirt that hugged his body and was in faded blue jeans. He took  his helmet off and then I understood why he had parked next to me. 

"What are you doing here?" Abhi asked. 

"My friend's vehicle broke down. So,  she and her boyfriend went to get a mechanic, half hour ago. I'm waiting for them." I said, tired. 

"They left you all alone?''  He sounded angry. 

I pushed my glasses up my nose and shrugged. I was already upset about that and to add to that I was hungry, though I wouldn't let him know that.

Meanwhile,  he was checking me out and it made me conscious of what I was wearing. I was dressed in a black Kurti with netted full sleeves and red leggings and dupatta.  My hair was flying wildly in the air and I quickly tucked it into a ponytail. He was watching me like a hawk. 

"What?" I asked, flustered.

"Nothing." He smiled tenderly at me. Wait for it!! and right on cue, there's my blush. 

"Come on. I'll drop you home." He said. 

"I can't. My friends will be coming anytime now." I said. 

"Do you actually believe that." He asked, irritated. 

I knew he was right. They wouldn't be coming back, anytime soon. They had left me alone so that I can take care of their vehicle and they could... do god knows what. 

Before I could say anything my cell rang and I saw that it was Meghana.

"Where are you?" I asked angrily. 

"Sorry, Ana. We went in search of the mechanic and now,  we are at the mall with the others. We will come there in 5 minutes." She said. 

I couldn't believe her. All this time I was waiting for them and they were enjoying.

"I'm leaving." I said and cut the call.

"I take it they are not coming." Abhi said, dryly. 

"They are but I 'm leaving before they come." I said,  upset. 

He could see that I was upset and gently said, "Then come with me. I'll drop you home." 

"Thanks. But i'll take an auto." I said. The thought of going with him gave me butterflies in my stomach and made me hell lot of nervous.

"Oh. You can go with other guys and not me." He said, angrily. But I could see that it hurt him a bit. 

"What?" I asked and looked at him in shock. What did he mean by that. I was still trying to figure out what he meant when he coolly said, " Chup chap gadi pe baitho"(Shut up and  get on the bike.)

He was glaring at me and his hard black eyes dared me to refuse. I gulped and seeing no other option got on his bike. 

"I would love to take you where ever I want, but I don't think you'll like that, so tell me where you stay. " He said, smirking when he saw me blush.  in the mirror.
