**Manav's POV **

"I don't think she would ever do this. " Sid spoke.

"I agree too. Man, they are all rumors. They don't have to be true."Aamir said.

Picking up the bottle of whiskey, I poured myself another drink.

" You could have heard her. " Sid said, pressing the heel of his hand onto my shoulder, drawing my attention.

I rolled my eyes.

" I'm talking to you. " Sid shouted.

" I hear her out and be convinced of any shit she feeds me. I'M NOT A DOG. " I broke my silence.

"Who said it being about a dog? You could have heard her out, see what she has to say then use your brain to think. That is all I'm saying. " Sid explained.

" She deserves to be heard, man. " Aamir pitched in.

The glass in my hand tipped and I made another drink for myself.

"Manav..." Sid spoke.

"I don't care. She had her shit to say but I didn't have to hear. That's my call, okay? " I said through gritted teeth.

I muttered and walked out and towards my room, flopping on the bed.

The rumors, the gossip from that day flashed in front of my eyes. The events replayed itself.

" Have you seen J? " I ask a girl.

" I think she still in the marketing class. "She answered. Thanking her I ran towards the class to catch her. It's been like a whole day since I saw. After the first class shared by us, I had to go for football practice.

My eyes scanned the thinned crowd for Jiya at the class.

" Hey Manav! "Came a flirtatious voice.

" Hi Elena! "I said, my face twisted.

" What are you doing here? Were you looking for me? " She said.

" Well no but I'm surely looking for someone. Have you seen Jiya? "As I said that, her lips pursed.

" She left long ago. "She muttered. I nod and walk right. Her classes had ended and to the right came the exit.

I'm looking for her when I bang into to Yash.

" Sorry! " he mutters and walks away, his attention still distracted. He's been the same since a month or so.

" Yash... "

" Yea? " he turns.

" No greetings, nothing. Anyway, have you seen J? "I question.

" Apologies. I'm slightly preoccupied. And, yes, I have seen Jiya. She was leaving. "

" You all right, buddy? "

" Obviously! "Yash laughed.

" Catch you at the practice tomorrow."I said and he nodded. This 'So called greeting thing 'started because of football.

Knowing that Jiya left, I decided to leave to.

××××
I checked my phone. There was no message, no call, nothing. That's unusual.

"She must be busy. " I tell myself.

"She will text you when she's free. Don't be clingy. She hates that remember?"  I pep talk again.
