Victory of Love

part-7

(Khushi's POV)

I sighed....I sighed-a sigh of nervous. Nervous, yes I am! Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at my palms which had beads of sweat. "Oh god!" I muttered and quickly stepped towards my bed to take towel and wiped off the sweat from my palm. I picked up the wrist watch from the bed and wore it with a shiver. I sighed again and sat on the bed with a thud. 

"Oh god! I don't think this is going to b happen!!!!" I muttered loudly. I found a glass of water in front of my face and looked up. There I found karun with a smile on her face. I took glass from her hand and gulped it down in a quick one go. I again closed my eyes and covered my face with both my palms, trying to relax myself!

"Didi..."karun called me while taking a seat besides me. Neither I responded nor I looked up towards her direction.

"Y this much of nervous and tension? For that competition?"she asked me putting her hand on my shoulder. I still kept quite. 

"Its only one of the reasons go ur tension right?"she said with a I-Know-It look on her face. I instantly looked at her with my shocked expression. 

Understanding it, she told "u r nervous to meet ur dream man AGAIN... That too in HIS college..."it was not a question but a pure statement. 

I quickly hugged her and told "I don't know" my voice cheated me and that sentence came out as a small whisper. Well, to b frank, even though I told her that I hadn't known about y was I nervous, then it would b a pure white lie. Bcoz I knew, I knew that I was nervous not only for the competition but also for meeting him AGAIN. I couldn't sense how my heart is beating fast just with his mere thought as if I got acidity or low blood pressure! After I met him day before yesterday, I didn't meet him yesterday. He didn't get into the bus yesterday and I got to know from payal that he went to college earlier to prepare for the competition. Thats when I told them that me too going to participate in the same competition. 

Yes. I'm participating in the same competition. This competition is a big one and our college selected few of topers to participate and I'm one among them. 

"Didi...relax and do ur best ok?"karun said after hugging me back and patted me. I just allow myself relax in her warm hug and encouraging words. My baby sister, even though she's crazy and 5 years younger than me, knew me very well and also knew how to handle me. After some seconds, I came out of her hug and went to mirror to have a final check of my attair. 

Wearing a purple colour modern kurti with a black legging, I looked somewhat official and decent. I put my hair in a ponytail and pulled my pony on my right shoulder. A simple set of fancy ear rings and a chain with small butterfly pendent completed my looks. I pulled out rose flavoured perfume from the dressing table and applied it. After applying kajal and eyeliner to my eyes, I applied pink colour lip gloss to my lips and smiled at my reflection after putting a small bindi between my eyebrows. In some seconds, I again started checking myself again as I felt like I forgot something. 

"Don't need to check that much didi....jiju will b flat with ur simplicity only...."karun said with a mischievous smile on her face. 

I rolled my eyes and said "uffooo seems like I forgot something." And I kept on looking at my reflection. 

"Kajal,done. Eyeliner,done. Lipgloss and bindi, done. Wrist watch, done. Hanky, its on the books. I wore neck chain too. I took the necessary items for the competition too,then wat did I forget?" I was muttering myself.
