Chapter-9

The next four days brought many changes, Jodha became fully comfortable in jalals company and Jalal too almost forget about the bet. Both started attracting towards each other not knowing what the unknown feeling was.

The night before Best projects announcement, at the Trisha's apartment

Jodhas POV
"Finally, the project got completed and let's see which project will be the best project
I must say, Jalal is indeed a brilliant boy I mean his views and ideas are superb plus he is very supportive and ya, of course, a big flirt.
I don't know why but his flirting doesn't irritate me, it always brings a smile on my face but one thing is still there that unknown current that I feel whenever he touches me, still, I kinda like his company.
I just can't understand what's happening to me.
Hey Kanha please help me
I think I am going crazy, I should stop thinking about him and concentrate on studies as my exams are also coming."

With these thoughts, Jodha fell asleep.

At the same time at jalals apartment
Jalal's pov

"Why the project got completed that early everything was going good
Trisha was right Jodha is quite different from others.
Her smile, her innocence and she has brains too not like those girls who are more interested in impressing and attracting me rather than concentrating on their work and ya what's that sensation which I feel whenever I touch her
Argh, not again why I am attracting towards her.
Now the project finished so from now on I will only concentrate on my bet."

With these thoughts, he too fell asleep.

The very next day after completing the lectures Trisha and Jodha along with juniors moved towards auditorium for the announcement of the best project.
At the same time, Jalal along with Roby too headed towards the same direction but stopped in their tracks on seeing their girls who were coming from the opposite direction.

Roby"Hey Trisha baby, hey Jodha".

Jodha" hi Roby".

Trisha"hi baby"; chirped while hugging her boyfriend.

Jodha"hey Jalal",  greeted with a nervous filled face.

Jalal" hi Jodha, are you ok",  asked worriedly.

Jodha"Actually, not so fine feeling nervous regarding the result of our project as it will affect our final grades too".

But before Jalal could say something to calm down the uneasy girl
Trisha" its ok baby don't be tense I know my Jo is best and u have really worked hard for it. So chill ".

Roby" besides Jalal was ur partner so ur project will surely the best project as his ideas are incredible and I am sure in your project maximum contribution must be of Jalal",  said with an excited look.

Trisha" whatever, I don't think so. Jo is quite smart herself",  defended the offended friend.

Jodha"Trisha!. Actually, Roby is right, no doubt Jalal is very intelligent and ya most of the ideas were his only",  said with an appreciative look for Jalal.

Jalal"but Jodha is no less, she helped me a lot and frankly we worked equally so need to create a fuss on this "declared with a proud look towards Jodha.

Roby"but one thing which is intolerable with Jalal is that he never gets satisfied with anyone's work and no one dares to argue with him or should I say he never allows anyone to argue with himself", said while shaking his head.
Hearing the not so pleasing taunts the annoyed boy was about to give his friend a piece of mind.

Jodha" now, you are wrong here, Roby as Jalal always satisfied with my work and we argue a lot", said to defend her project partner.

Trisha"I am not surprised at all as no one win over Jodha in the argument".

Jalal" ya that's right she always wins over me in every argument so don't underestimate her Roby", said while defending his partner as well.

Jodha"ok enough of talking let's move to our class we r getting late, professors must be waiting",  said while hiding her flushed face after Jalals supportive words.

Firstly Roby entered along with Trisha then Jalal along with Jodha making everyone surprised as college most popular boy had entered along with the girl who was quite famous for rejecting boys. Everyone knew that they both were working together for the project but what shocked them was the way they both are talking and looking towards each other as Jalal has never seen that much relaxed and happy with any girl and same was the case with the quiet Jodha.

Without paying any importance to the stares and murmurs both pair headed towards their respective seats Jodha sat along with Jalal while Trisha with Roby.
**********************""**********************
After giving a brief of every project professors finally announced the best project
Mrs Ahuja" So the best project is of my favourite students Jalal and Jodha", declared with a proud look.

Hearing the results Jodha's tensed face turned into a glowing one and in her excitement, she hugged Jalal tightly, the unexpected action firstly shocked then made the winner boy delighted.
Only the applauding sound made the pleased girl realized about her current position and situation who immediately withdrew herself from the ecstatic boy.

Jalal"shall we Jodha as mam can't come to congratulate us na so we have to go there ",  said with a wink to remove the awkwardness between them.

Both headed towards their professors to receive their applause from their mentors.

Trisha"congrats Jo as I said ur project will be the best; said while hugging her best friend who just descended the last step of the stage.

Jodha"thank you Trisha and sorry I mean_".

Trisha"Don't you dare say anything your win is my win and your loss is my loss", said while hitting her silly friendly lightly, on which Jodha just nodded with an apology look.

Roby congratulated his best buddy with a bro hug.

Jalal"thanks bro", replied while breaking the hug.

After receiving endless applause Jalal suggested" now let's go and celebrate", as the four started moving towards the exit but stopped in between hearing a voice.
