Ruhaan sat in the cafeteria, waiting for his friends to arrive. He smiled as he spotted Tapasya coming towards him. She sat next to him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
Taps: So how's my favorite person doing today?
Ruhaan: I'm doing more than fine. Thanks to my lovely girlfriend 😘
Taps: Aw! But seriously I know there's no point in asking you but how did your test go today?
Ruhaan: It went fine, I guess. How was yours?
Taps: Eh! When have I ever done good on a test? It was fine.
Ruhaan smiled slightly and said,
Ruhaan: You're so cute!
Tapasya placed her hand on his and said,
Taps: Sangat ka asar , you know!
Ruhaan was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a coughing sound. He found his friends standing in front of the table and giggling. Tapasya quickly let go of his hand.
Shanu: Arey don't mind us guys! You can continue if you want 😉
Daksh: Ha ha hum kahi aur baith jayenge!
Ruhaan: Ho Gaya tum logo ka? Ab baitho!
They giggled and sat down. Ruhaan noticed that Adi was missing, so he asked,
Ruhaan: Arey yeh Adi kaha reh Gaya?
Mitali stiffened at the mention of his name. She fidgeted with her hands.
Ruhaan: Mitali ,tum dono to ek hi class mein baithe the na? Tum usse mili nahi Kya?
Mitali fumbled with words.
Mitali: Uh.....um...no.....not Really.....
Before she could finish, Ruhaan spotted Adi approaching their table.
Ruhaan: Lo Adi bhi aa Gaya!
Mitali could feel Adi's gaze on her as he sat down next to Tapasya. He tried to meet her eyes but she just turned her gaze away.
Anu: So guys, exam kaisa Gaya?
Shanu: Thik thak hi tha! But mujhe MCQ's mein thodi confusion ho rahi this.
Daksh: Same yaar! Saare options to ek jaise lag rahe the!
The rest giggled except for Mitali. Adi looked at her with concern.
Sahil: Anyways,abhi to sirf ek exam khatam hua hai! Abhi to aur baki hai!
Daksh: Yaar Sahil yaad mat dila!
Ruhaan: To aaj mere ghar pe mil rahe hai na hum log?
The rest agreed except for Mitali. Ruhaan immediately asked,
Ruhaan: Arey Mitali! Tujhe Kya hua? Aaj itni chup chap kyu hai? Tu aa rahi hai na aaj mere ghar pe?
Adi looked at her again and this time Mitali's eyes too met his. There was pain in them. He could say. She quickly shifted her gaze to Ruhaan.
Mitali: Um....nahi yaar. Aaj shayad nahi ho payega. I'm not feeling that well and I think I'd rather rest.
Adi knew she was lying. She was trying to get away from him and trying to find ways not to face him.
Shanu: Mitu, tu thik hai na? Yeh achanak tabiyat kaise kharab ho gayi?
Anu: Uss din Ruhaan ke ghar pe baarish mein bheegi thi na? Shayad usi liye!
Shanu: Kya Mitu? Dhyan rakhna chahiye na!
Mitali smiled slightly.
Ruhaan: To thik hai. Ek kaam kar tu rest kar aaj. Baaki sab to aa rahe ho na?
