Harshad's POV:

"Harshad!!!"

"Man, when are you planning to get over her? She keeps ignoring you all the time. Don't you feel hurt?. Open your eyes. There are so many girls around you and guess what, I am very sure Sakshi likes you. I mean she is one of the most beautiful girls in our college, everyone wants to date her and you are just not interested." Gaurav asked crossing his arms above his chest.

"Literally, I have given up," Aman added sarcastically.

I was busy staring at her Facebook profile picture and didn't bother to listen to them. Aman, Gaurav and I were roommates for two years now. 

They knew about her, that one girl I am head over heels in love with, that girl I am crazy about, that girl who rules my heart and mind but isn't mine.

When Gaurav's attempts failed, he shook me, "Harshad, come on dude, enough is enough. She is not the only girl alive. She is a bloody witch" and that is it. My temper knew no boundaries. I was about to cross my limits when Aman held me.

"What are you doing Harshad? Have you lost it?" he shouted at me holding my hand. Gaurav was shocked looking at my reaction. 

I realized my mistake but I could not bear a word against her. After all, she had no idea about my feelings for her. 

Yet, I knew it was my fault and I had to set things right, I huffed "Bro, I am really sorry!".
"It's okay man. I will be careful next time", he assured and things were back to normal. This is what I loved about us. These petty could not affect our friendship.

Okay, so I am a tall, fair and according to my friends, a good-looking guy. I am equally decent and a good student. I love Delhi. I had finished my boards here and I am continuing my graduation in the same city. My parents are settled in Bhopal and I am their only son.

Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of cousins and I do not share a great bond with the ones I have. So practically, I had no siblings. But Gaurav and Aman were truly brothers from another mother. I was extremely lucky to have found them.

Today, our first internals was done and I was actually satisfied with my exams. We were all relieved as we did not have to study for another month until the next internal arrives. This is how engineering life goes and probably that is why they decided to ask me about her. They knew I would not reveal it so easily. So they planned on playing 'Truth or Dare'.

The bottle first pointed towards Gaurav. He chose dare as usual. Aman and I thought of having some fun this time. We could see the warden getting into his room. He was one of the strictest wardens boys hostels had ever got. We asked Gaurav to latch the door from outside. Now he was in dire straits.

I am sure he did not want to do it but if he refused, he knew the game wouldn't continue. So he decided to accomplish the mission. He slipped through the corridor. Luckily, nobody noticed him sneaking. He slowly latched the door and ran like the wind. We had a great time looking at him. He definitely dodged a bullet. 

Before spinning the bottle again we could hear the warden shouting. Gaurav, like a sincere boy, went and unlocked the door. The warden seemed impressed and patted his back. Wow!

Now we decided to continue the game. Aman was praying that it shouldn't be his turn and tada it wasn't. Finally, it was mine and I chose truth, mainly because I was scared after Gaurav's case. They ultimately got the opportunity and Aman asked,

 "Tell us about your girl."

"It is going to take a long time", I warned them.

"We are all ears", they said in unison and here goes our story.

Deeksha's and Harshad's story.
