Silently Falling in Love: Race - #Wattys2017

Chapter 14 - November 1992

First I want to apologize for not posting this chapter yesterday - I had a long day and I was just too tired to upload the latest updated.

Second I am obsessed with this version of Tip Tip Barsa - there are some excellent dances to this but none of them had good quality so I'm just linking this song and you can jam to it while you read.  I've listened to it everyday for over a week.

Third - The next chapter we have Alex and Anjali meet.  I'm half way through the chapter - in other words it's not complete - so please vote, comment and let me know what you're thinking it really keeps me going and I want to keep up the momentum I have going - I've posted six chapters since September 1st!!!

Okay now you can read :)

Arjun:

"How are the job interviews going so far?" I asked Anjali as we walked towards our favorite place, our favorite tree.

"They're going well. I think I should know soon if I have a job offer. I really want to have an offer before Christmas break. If I'm done with interviews then I can really enjoy our last semester at college."

"I'm sure you'll get a job offer soon. Are all of the jobs you're interviewing for on the East Coast?"

"Yes, they are. I wish I could stay here, but I have to go back," Anjali said slowing down her pace. "What about you? How are the medical school applications coming?"

"Slowly. I'm applying to a dozen schools. That means a dozen applications."

"Yuck. I feel your pain. I'm sorry Arjun," Anjali says as she pulls me in for a sideways hug. "I hope you get into med school somewhere near me."

"Me too," I say as we arrive at our spot.

We sit under the tree and I pull out some Cadbury chocolate for both of us.

"You really do love me?" Anjali says as she grabs the bigger piece of chocolate.

"Hey, you'd think since I brought the chocolate I get the bigger piece."

"I thought you were practicing chivalry so that would mean I get the bigger piece of chocolate."

"You might get too fat if you keep eating the bigger pieces of chocolate," I teased.

Anjali broke off a piece of my chocolate and shoved it in her mouth, "Here's to getting fat," she muttered.

"Hey you just stole my chocolate! This is my last piece of Cadbury and I shared it with you!"

"And you called me fat!"

"I didn't call you fat, I said you'd get fat if you eat too much chocolate. There's a difference!"

Anjali rolled her eyes at me, "Didn't you learn your lesson when you called your ex-girlfriend Priya fat?"

"Oh shit, I forgot about that."

"How could you forget Priya having a huge fight with you in front of everyone after our dance performance. I mean she publicly humiliated you! She called you all of those nasty names in front of everyone!"

"It wasn't that bad was it? I mean most of the people had already left," I said.

"You have a selective memory, my dear."

"You coming in between our fight and kissing me on the lips and telling Priya that if she didn't want me that you'd be more then happy to date me, really didn't help matters much."
