Going to be bit cheesy type. Kindly excuse me. Initial plan was this when I outlined the story. At that time I thought I will change the scene, but seriously I couldn't think of anything alternatively. So apologizing before hand.
It was practical exam of the 7th semester for 4th year students. So all the fourth year students were waiting outside the lab. And we had free period so I was gazing at Adi through the window.
He was busily speaking with Aishwarya. I have noticed these both together at many occasions. Is she his girl bestie or his lover?
Whatever it is I didn't like her. Who would like a person who seems to be close to your crush! Be it class during free hours or lunch period or lab, I always noticed these two together which makes me to dislike her.
"Staring cannot kill a person Aaru." I heard a voice behind me.
I looked back to see Adarsh with stupid grin on his face.
"What?"
"If looks can kill a person then Aish would be dead by now." He shrugged.
"Huh? I didn't..." but I stopped when he raised his eyebrow.
"Is it that obvious?" I asked him.
"Yeah!!! Always looking at our senior and glaring at Aish will obviously show that you like our senior."
I sighed.
"I know I shouldn't. But I can't help but feel jealous." I pouted.
"I can understand your situation. But you need not feel jealous. She is like sister to him and a good friend. Nothing more." He said with proud smile.
I frowned. "How do you know that?"
"You are not the only person stalking him, Aaru." He winked.
"You are stalking Adi?" I raised an eyebrow at him which made him to cough.
"No, I mean, I stalk them not only him." His reply made me to look at Aishwarya and then at him.
"You like our senior Aishwaraya?" I asked him with shocking tone
"Yep" He sighed with dreamy look.
"Akka (elder sister) da" I beat his arm.
"Aha, then Adi should be Anna (elder brother) to you." He raised his eyebrow and glared at me.
"Anna? No no. He is my crush. I can't see him as brother. We need not treat all seniors as brothers and sisters." I pouted
"Even I can't see her as elder sister." He shrugged.
I face palmed. I know how this story is going to end. How can I make him understand?
"Aaru relax. It is just crush. Maybe little more than a crush." He showed his thumb and index finger indicating a small size.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"From when?"
"From first internals." He blushed.
"Adarsh do anything, except this blushing. Seriously dude, I can't believe it!"
"How?"
He placed his head on his hands and gave a dreamy look again.
"When I was struggling during the exam, she was the one who helped me. Thanks to you for not helping me. I was calling you but you didn't turn. When Aish saw that you didn't respond she helped with 1 and 2 marks. She was my knight in shining armor you know?" Then he looked at her who was about to enter the lab.
