Unbound Love

The Restlessness...

Unbound love...
Part 2...

Days passed but their restlessness didn't lessen. He used to sit back with his group at such an angle where he could see her all the time.

She used to sit in the middle in the left corner so that he will be visible to her whenever she look around.

People used to notice them stealing glances but never actually believed that they were looking for each other as they never could even imagine them together because they were so different.
Ishika was the one who noticed this and wanted to confirm her doubts whether they really were having crush on each other or was it just coinciedience.

She decided to test her doubts and started making plans for it.
Soon she got a chance.
It was a usual college day during recess when she noticed Aryan sitting with their group in back of the class munching aman's tiffin (the only guy with a tiffin in the whole college) while Sanjana was sitting alone at her usual place eating some snacks while reading a book. She noticed Aryan stealing glances ahead where the only occupant was Sanjana, the same case was with Sanjana but Ishika wanted to confirm it.
She texted Dev to come out of class, as soon as he came out she whispered him that it's her time of the month and she forgot to bring the needed stuffs. Dev looked horrified but composed himself and said he will send Tanya on which Ishika made a face and replied that they use different brands as she prefer a different one and Tanya uses another. Hugging her Dev said he will be back in some time with her stuff and left for market.

Then she messaged Tanya and Avinash to come out quietly, as soon they came out she gave them some stupid task and sent them away. She took a peek inside and noticed Sanjana was still stealing glances, she then texted Nikhil and Aman to come out of class without Aryan. They came out and she sent them to the canteen to get some food knowing full well both of them are hardcore foodie.
She then secretly peeked inside and her doubts were cleared that indeed both of them were having crush on each other.
She smiled at herself and wondered how they would look together, just then she recieved a tap on her shoulder and saw the whole group looking at her as if she has gone crazy.
"Why the heck you sent all of us away, and since when we both use different brands of pads because I am the one who told you about the brand we both use?? " asked Tanya at which she shushed them and whispered to look inside quietly, they all did so and were awestruck.
"the f@#k, they are f@#king stealing glances at each other" whisper yelled Avinash, "M glad u cracked it Sherlock" replied Tanya sarcastly smacking his head, "hey!! That f@#king hurts" retorted Avinash and recieved another smack by Nikhil, "shut the f@#k up dude" said Nikhil "we don't want to disrupt them, let's keep watching for a few more mins and make sure whether what we saw is real or not" all agreed together and kept peeking for some more time.
5 minutes later the bell rang and it was time for the classes to start after recess.
"Dang it" groaned the group in unison, all wondering when they will get such an oppertunity again and entered the class.

They caught Aryan looking at Sanjana and turned his head swiftly on seeing them, they all smiled among themselves and went back to their seats.
Meanwhile Sanjana's duo of close friends Arti and Nikita joined her in front.
"Ohho, finally twilight huh???" asked Arti, "Yup yaar, decided to read this after your months of mental and verbal assault" replied Sanjana and the trio started laughing, "Yar, it's not that good, the hype is for nothing" said Nikita twisting her strands of hair, "no, it's not that bad as you are saying, you haven't even read it yet" replied Arti, "oh for god's sake, don't start here you both" groaned Sanjana knowing gully well they both fight for every small to tiny things yet they never remain angry for more then a few hours. "let's get back to our seats or else Mr Singh will start his lecture with us" said Sanjana indicating towards their Economics cum marketing teacher and giggling they rushed towards their seats.
Mr Pradeep Singh widely known in college as Mr Singh or the Devil Horns was one teacher they all liked the least and was known for his creepy eye brows and the way he start lecturing the students anywhere, his nick name was bevause of his hair style which closely look like two horns sprouted on either side of his head and his temper.
"Sit down children or should I say devil spawns?" he yelled from the class gate and everybody rushed towards their seats in fear of becoming a target of his verbal torture,
Alas, Sanjana was the one who got caught as his victim.
"F@#k me" she whispered to herself as the devil approached her, "so miss sanjana, care to tell the class why you couldn't get to your seat in time?, was there any problem or are you unable to enter the row because you have become too great to sit on the simple desk and chair " he asked,
"No sir, I dropped my pen that's why I came out of my seat to pick it up" Sanjana replied meekly. "oh!! That's your excuse? what a grt excuse, Cmon guys, claps for her" retorted mr singh and started clapping, a few others joined him but the rest kept mum.
It was hard for Aryan to endure such a thing in front of his eyes and he rose his hands, "yes boy?? " asked Mr Singh, "Sir, I am feeling nauseous" said Aryan "and why is that?" asked the devil,
"because someone farted" and urged tanya to make fart sound, tanya glared at him horrified but the next moment started making farting noise, "What the hell!!! " shrieked mr singh as a girl and rushed out of class as he was allergic to farts followed by some of the students while the group weren't able to contain their laughter any longer and started laughing loudly except Tanya who was looking as if she tasted the whole sour lemon, "you moron!" she yelled at Aryan, "you couldn't think of anything else or anyone else? " she asked with the sour face, "sorry yaar, I will make it up for you" Aryan replied ruffling her hair and got kicked on his leg, "ow! That hurt" he yelled at her, "it was meant to hurt dumbo" she retorted and soon they both were laughing with the group.

Soon it was Christmas, the day when he talked to her for the first time, he just couldn't believe his luck and kept smiling all day.
Earlier that day she thought to herself Today I will have to resolve this and approached him with a beating heart thinking about the excuses just to have a short chat with him.
Walking towards him she was still unsure how to start the chat. Thousands of opinions came in her mind yet she felt none of them were good.
She noticed him at his usual hangout place sitting with his friends and smoking.

Hesitatingly she approached him, "Hi Aryan" she spoke to him and he turned while taking a puff as he noticed who called for him he was stunned and started coughing trying to compose himself.
"oh hi Sanjana, u know my name??" he asked being surprised, "of course idiot, in case you forgot we are in same class and I know your name in the same way you know mine" she replied.
He laughed and said "are you joking, everyone here knows your name and its a big thing that a girl like you knows the name of a guy like me", and got smacked on his head "and actually what kind of guy like you are?" Ishika asked smacking his head again, "dude, my head is already a pulp bcoz of that fata*s, you too don't start please " he pleaded holding her hand in order to stop her from smacking him and recieved two smacks simultaneously, "that's my girlfriend's hand you are holding" growled Dev, "she's my friend too in case u forgot m the one who is responsible because of whom u both met and I am the one who solve ur fights and lastly she's like a sister to me" growled back Aryan clenching his fists at which all became quiet because it was very rare when Aryan was angry and even more rare when he actually growl at his friend, "Aryan calm down dude, u know Dev is a moron" Ishika spoke softly to Aryan holding his fists trying to make him calm down while Nikhil and Avinash escorted Dev away, "what's going on?" whispered Sanjana to Tanya "Dev is possessive of Ishika while Ishika used to....,
nothing really it's just Aryan in anger is a big disaster brewing waiting to explode, aka BOOM" replied tanya making a sign of big explosion, "so, why are you here?? " she asked Sanjana,
"Nothing much, just wanted to talk to him"she replied indicating towards Aryan.
"Give me a minute" said tanya and went to the group, she whispered something to Ishika who looked at her and smiled, then she whispered something to Aryan who looked up at her and sighed, "see you guys later" he said and walked towards Sanjana. "Can we take a walk? " he asked her, "sure" she replied.
They started walking towards the canteen which was a least crowd place at that particular time as the college hours were over and most have already left.
"Sorry, you had to see that" he said to her "not my best time" and smiled meekly, "it's OK, don't worry about it" she replied and smiled at him. "so where were we?? Before the disaster happened" he asked,
"nothing much, BTW what did you mean by a girl like me?? " she asked, "you are just one of the most popular girl of college with a huge fanbase and all that's it, so it's hard to imagine you knowing me who is one of the least known guy in college" he replied, "that's not true, you are actually a guy everyone knows but they just don't interact Because the scary and indifference look you give to everyone" she said jokingly making a face at which he laughed, "you kidding right? Me and scary huh?? Lol... He said and they kept bantering.
She was all swelled up by his honest response and replied "you are too different not to be noticed easily" and smiled.

After some talk she realized that he indeed is different but in a good way with whom chatting was as easy as it could have been.
He is so simple and easy going she thought and so their friendship began.
