The Third Person's Perspective

CHAPTER - 14 What is even happening right now?

“Why are you not as curious as Karan is to find out what Viraaj needs advice on?”
“Because I have already been curious for more than a week now. Waiting for five more minutes till we go and get him from the infirmary and leave school does not feel bothersome.”
“More than a week? You kept this from Karan for more than a week?”
“Well, I wasn't really sure if it was a joke or he actually wanted advice.”
“And now you think he was serious?”
“Yeah, sort off. I thought for a week. He looked like he was being serious. You know like he was glad that I was talking again or something.”
“Of course he would be glad! ”
“I know right, nobody can go about their lives having had done something wrong by Luna. The guilt had overcome him.” Luna smirked
“Sigh, only if it was guilt. Both of them will never understand.” Karan wishpered to himself.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing.”
“You sure? Cause you were murmuring something.”
“No... I... Oh... That, that was just me trying to figure out what the reason could be. What do you think he wants advice on?”
“Girl?”
“What do you mean by a girl? You think he has issues with any other girl at all? Wait, we can't really call you a girl.”
“Shut Up! First of all, you don't get to   say that just because I like  relatively masculine things, secondly What I meant was that he probably likes a girl.” Even though Luna was just guessing her mind strated spiralling- "Could he actually like any girl? Does he like me? Why did he want my advice then?
Wait, what the Hell am I even thinking about? Why on Earth are such thoughts in my head right now? What is wrong with me?"-
“No, not a possibility. He said he needs your advice. That wouldn't have anything related to you. So nope.”
“Why is it related to me?”
“Oh, cause he likes you.”
“What?”
There was silence for a moment.
Karan looked at Luna with a very serious expression.
“That's what you are thinking right?”
“Why would I be thinking that?”
“Oh, you poor little girl. Don't ever think that Karan doesn't understand what's going on in there.” Karan said gesturing towards Luna's head.
“Oh sure. Cause you know everything everybody is thinking. You're gifted with some psychic powers.”
“Nah, not everybody. But I can always be sure about what you're thinking. I've known you since forever.”
“Yeah sure.”
“You can keep trying to disagree but you know that Karan was right deep inside too.”
“Have I ever told you that you're sort of annoying at most times?”
“Karan is aware of that. That's exactly why you didn't want to accept the fact that Karan is your best friend.”
For some reason he had a proud smile on his face at this moment.
“Are you actually feeling proud about this?”
“Well, I am your best friend now. You accepted it. So why not?”
“Whatever. Let's just take Viraaj and leave.”
“Yes! Karan wants to know.”
They had entered the infirmary now and were walking towards Viraaj's bed, who had already gotten out of it and was all set to leave.
“Woah!” A startled Viraaj turned right into the face of Karan who had very purposefully walked up, too close next to Viraaj.
“Let's go! You have some talking to do!” Karan said with an extremely excited tone, placing an arm around Viraaj's shoulder.
“Umm..... Can I...It is.....”
“Hey hey hey, no more stammering. Just speaking.” Luna was totally out of patience.
“Tell fast. What is it about, Karan is very eager to know.”
“Let it be about a girl, let it be about a girl, let it be about a girl.” Karan was wishpering loud enough to be heard by both of them. His eyes were closed and fingers crossed.
“What is wrong with you?”  A very confused Viraaj definitely had to ask.
“Uh... It is.... Luna..... Nothing.” Karan quickly decided not to mention when he could feel Luna's cold stares throwing icicles at him.
“Can you just tell already.”
“It is about a girl.”
“Yes! Karan knew it! Karan is always right! You lose Luna.”
“I lose? I lose what?”
“Oh point. Karan didn't exactly bet with you. It was a Karan's gut instincts against Karan's brain bet.”
At this point Luna was left with nothing to say to him so she murmured a “Wow.”
“Let's... Let's just ignore the fact that he is present here. You talk to me .”
“I... I... Think I like a girl in our class.”
“You think?”
“I am not sure. But I think I have a crush on her.”
“Name!!!! KARAN WANTS TO KNOW HER NAME.”
“Molina.”
“Mo- what? Are you kidding? Molina? The Molina of our class?”
“That's the only Molina I know.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“Why do you like her? There are so many better options.” Karan said while gesturing towards Luna who was lost in some deep thought.
Viraaj also did not seem to have noticed his gestures or pretended to not notice it cause he definitely turned around to look at what Karan gestured at.
Is he that dumb? Did he actually not understand what Karan meant while gesturing at Luna? He is pretending right? I don't want to believe he is that dumb. But he is dumb, so... I don't know, how can Karan make a better gesture for him to notice.
Karan was not able to actually believe that Viraaj did not understand what he meant.
“Luna? What do you think about this?” Viraaj asked with his forever confused expression plastered across his face. Hades, it seems like that's his permanent face.
“Think about what?”
“Did you not listen?”
“You did not exactly state your problem, you know.”
“You are trying very hard to keep that calm and unfazed look on.” Karan leaned towards Luna and wishpered into her ear.
“Hey, what are you wishpering ? Don't put your ideas into her ears.”
“Karan is just making her aware of her actions.”
Luna was staring at Karan with a intense glare. How can he guess that?
“You definitely said  something weird to her. Look at how she's staring at you.”
“She is just surprised or rather shocked about a piece of information that Karan gave her.”
“Will you tell your problem already. We're gonna reach Karan's house any minute now. Oh wait, on second thought. Let's just drop him off and then you can tell. It will be less annoying that way.”
“Or... How about you two come and chill at Karan's place for a while? Sounds good right? We can have tasty snacks that Mrs. Paul is going to make.” He did not want to let go of this gossip.
“N-”Luna was interrupted by Viraaj,
“Sounds great! Let's go! We don't even have any homework today.”
“Ugghh, fine.”
“Continue your story now. Don't get Disturbed by anything. You just keep speaking.”
“So... I believe I like her and I want to ask her out. That's what I need advice on.”
“No! Don't ask her out! Karan's advice is the best!”
“That is not what I want to know Karan.”
“Then what is it?”
“I want to know what can I do to make her like me as well.”
“You don't want her to like you.”
“That is what I need advice on.”
“Abort mission.”
“I want to know what can I do for a girl that will make her like me from a girl.”
“Mission cancelled.”
“Luna is the only girl who is actually my friend and I can talk to her very comfortably. So that's why I wanted to talk to her.”
“You are not allowed to do that. Nobody is going anywhere close to Molina.”
“Can you stop that Karan? That is definitely not helpful. Why do you hate her?”
“Well.... That you don't have to know. Just stay away from her.”
“Exactly why I had not mentioned anything about  this to you.”
“Fine. If you want to do this. I'll pretend to be an ignorant friend and just stick around and listen and watch. I will not utter a word.”
“Good. Now Luna? What do you have to say?”
Luna felt something. A weird feeling she had never felt before. She had this very strong urge to yell at Viraaj but at the same time she wanted to laugh at herself. She wanted to be angry at Viraaj but also was mad at herself.-
"What was I even thinking. Is something wrong with me? Why did I even have those weird thoughts in my head. Is Karan right? No, something is wrong with me. I don't understand what to do. What is even happening right now?"- she thought to herself
“Luna?” Karan approached Luna with a very concerned look and patted her shoulder gently. He could sense her being lost. He already knew what was wrong. But at the same time he did not know what to do. He already knew what was going through Luna's mind but at the same time he couldn't figure out what she was exactly thinking. What is even happening right now?
“What happened?” Viraaj as always was still confused.
