Love heroin

31.The Salwar Suit Gang

“So what happened after everyone got to know about Lali’s proposal?” I asked.
“The worst happened as expected everyone started talking rubbish about Lali including  Sid ,he behaved like an actual jerk he even stopped talking to her and made fun of her behind her back” Aswani said.
“That’s sad” Victor said.
“Then after sometime Sid left the collage” Parvathy said.
“So is that the end of the story?” I asked.
“I am afraid it is” Sruthy said.
“OK Victor let’s go, we have to find out what happened next” I said as I stood up, Victor followed.

We fixed another meeting with Lali’s BFF gang consisting of Aisha, Natasha and Sanjana.
“So Guys what exactly happened after Diya’s entry and her falling in love with Sid what exactly was Lali’s reaction?” I asked.
“For starters she had a good friendship with Diya even after knowing the fact that she is in love with Sid” Sanju said.
“Wait you remember that fight?” Natasha said.
“What fight?” I asked.
“Oh I will tell you” Natasha said.

“No I have thought about that, I know how to make sure my emotions doesn’t come in the way of my life and goals” Diya said with confidence.
For the past one hour I was trying to convince Diya to get rid of her feelings for Sid so that I can have a fair chance with him, I have tried all the methods of manipulation which I know but nothing was working she was determined that she loves Sid and only want him in her life.
“Babes listen you are only using your heart ok so for a second just go a little above your heart” I said.
“Are you talking about her boobs?” Sanju asked.
“What No..........I mean her brain; babes just use your head and think, and what about your singing career? You always wanted that right?” I asked.
“I am just bathroom singer Nat” Diya said with a strange look.

Sanju started laughing.
“Come on yar Diya why don’t you just stop loving Sid?” I asked.
“Come on I can’t just stop loving someone” Diya said.
“It’s her life Nat let her do what she wants” Lali said.
“Lali you stay out of this, she is behaving in such an immature way” I said.
“I think it’s none of your business Nat it’s her life” Lali said.
“Thanks Lali” Diya said.
“What’s wrong with you Lali she is acting crazy and you are letting her act crazy, I know you think Sid is an amazing guy and all but why are you trying to trap poor Diya?”
I asked, I didn’t understand Lali at all, first she claims that she loved Sid and now when someone else is coming in her way she instead of trying to shoo her off is supporting her.
“No one is trying to trap me Nat I am the one who loves Sid it’s my decision and no one has anything else to do with it” Diya said.
“I said what I had to say now you guys do whatever you wanna do” I said and rushed out of the room.
***
“After that Diya and Lali had this special bond Lali was the only one who genuinely tried to help Diya in her love story she tried to support her when she was sad or was being made fun of by others” Natasha said.
“Aw she was so sweet trying to help poor Diya” I said.
“Well my dear you didn’t know Lali all that well.......our sweet little Lali also had a tine tiny evil side” Sanjana said.

I was in the canteen Diya was in the canteen counter collecting our food as I wrote my notes; I smiled at her from a distance. She took the tray as she walked towards our table her dupatta slipped from her shoulder in the attempt to fix it she dropped the tray in an attempted to save the food she fell down due to her high heels, now she was on the floor with food all over her, Sid and Parvathy along with all the other people in the room started laughing at her and calling name, I left my notes and ran towards her, she just kept on staring at Sid  with eyes filled with tears while Sid kept on laughing at her state.
“How can you guys be so insensitive?” I asked them.
While helping Diya get up.
“What happened?” Lali who came from behind me asked.
“Diya just fell down” I said.
“Sid....did you forget our first meeting or should I remind you?” Lali asked.
Sid suddenly stopped laughing and became silent.
“Come Diya, let’s go”
Lali said as she took Diya’s hand and walked out of the canteen I followed.
***
“I can’t believe he laughed at me like that how can he be so insensitive?”  Diya said sobbing.
“Enough with the crying already you are hurting my ears” Sanju said.
“YAYYYYYYY.......”
Natasha who was staring at her laptop screamed.
“What happened?” Lali asked.
“Sid just liked my photo” Natasha said.
“Please tell me that’s Sidart Malhothra” I said.
“Hmmmh’mmm” Natasha said and shook her head indicating a no.
“Sid just liked her photo” Diya said and started winning again.
“Nathu you are so dead” I said.
“Guys, shut up can we please help Diya?” Lali asked.
“Ok let me try, Diya......forget about Sid” I said.
“No” She said.
“Ok she is doomed” I said.
“No yar Sanju she just needs to get some confidence, have a bit of fun and stop obsessing over being tall” Lali said.
“But I am too short” Diya said.
“No you are not, you are cute, Even Varun Dhawan is short” Lali said.
“Who is Varun Dhawan?” Diya asked.
“Whattt...............?” We screamed.
“What?” Diya asked confused.
Few minutes later
“Oh My God........” Diya said as she stared at Varun Dhawan on her laptop screen. She took some popcorn and stuffed it in her already open mouth, we who have seen Varun Dhawan on Screen before was not doing any better.
“Oh look at his well structured.......arms” Natasha said.
“Forget his arms yar look at his cute face” Lali said.
“What about the rest of him then” Sanju said.
“Ow look at his eyes it has so many emotions, love, happiness, and childishness” Diya said leaning towards the screen.
“I think she will fall in love with Varun Dhawan” Natasha whispered to me and Lali.
“Everyone falls in love with Varun Dhawan” Lali said.

That night when everyone was asleep I saw Lali standing alone staring at the sky.
“What happened?” I asked her.
“I was convinced that the only person in this world who I will ever love is Sid but now I think I have fallen in love with you guys too, this friendship is just perfect”
“And the reason for this sudden realization is?”
“Diya”
“What about her?”
“Ok so you remember when I supported Diya when she said that she loved Sid, I thought I will initially use reverse psychology and get her to leave eventually but her love for Sid it kind of reminds me of myself, it feels like she is the sister that I never had, now whatever her decision may be I will support her and protect her” Lali said.
“That’s so beautiful Lali, we should never let our friends do stupid things alone, if their madness is what they enjoy we should join them” I said.
“Ya.........hey do you have a salwar suit with you by any chance?”
*
Next day all three of us went to collage wearing Salwar suits so that Diya won’t feel left out anymore. And like that we spend our entire collage days in salwar suits and skirts and tops. Soon many of the other students joined us, heck we even went to parties wearing Salwar suits. We watched Varun Dhawan movies all day sometimes went out and had a lot of fun in collage. Our collage mates started to call us the salwar suit gang, guys at collage also started to find salwar suits attractive and no one was being called a behanji for wearing Salwar suits anymore. Everything was just like a dream until one day.......Diya decided to confess her feelings for Sid, I don’t know what proposing meant for a guy but for a girl it decides whether she will be happy or sad for the following many years. Trust me if a girl ever confesses her feelings for a guy openly it means she love him more than any fucking thing in this whole world.
