Just a little crush ♥️

CHAPTER 12

"Thanks "I said again.

He smiled at me and said "yeah , this hostel life , away from home and all can be very difficult ... But we have got eachother's back for that, right ?"

"Yeah , right ... " I said looking at him ... He was looking at hostel ground where some interns were playing cricket .

" So let go of this , you tell me ... How come you are early ? It's not even 7? ... "

"Oh my inner voice told me that my dear friend needs me and advice to go and console her so I came running after you "

"Seriously , was this a joke ? "

"Yeah so? "

"I don't like joke"

"I don't like you"

And we both started laughing at the same time ... "Seriously , did we just used kuch kuch hota hai movie's dialogue ?"

"I guess we did ... I didn't know you were like filmy or something " he said questioningly.

"Oh I am very filmy ... Ask me any dialogue from any old famous hindi movie and you will get it " I said proudly.

"Then , why don't I remember you taking part in those who said whom competitions of our college ... Those were bollywood based right ? "

" You don't even remember how I was in college , Ani ... And you are asking about competition ..." I said eyeing him now .

"Actually you are right ... But this got me thinking that why weren't we friend or in contact at that time ? ... I wonder right ? "

You were so busy Ani , looking at other direction while I was looking at the same direction where I am looking right now .

"Yeah may be we were busy with our lives and friends ... Didn't have time to look at others ?"

"May be ... I was actually busy ... Wanted do alot of things .. you know? .. study , singing , football was my life at that time ."

"I remember you taking part in every annual functions and all .. you were good at singing too" I said suddenly regretting it .

"Hey, thanks ... But then I was also trying to figure myself out ... With studies and friends and...

Eesha ."

And suddenly both of us weren't talking ... May be both were recalling memories of the past ... And he looked sad doing that .... I wanted to ask what happened but didn't have the guts .

And suddenly he said " She was great I thought... Good looking , good at studies and all ... I mean, we had our differences but yet we were together for more than four years ... And then suddenly I don't know what happened ... We couldn't even make time for each other ... I thought maybe it was due to studies and all ...so I tried to focus on last year's University exam ... and results came ... Was little disappointed with my score but more heart broken I felt when she suddenly came to me and said that it's not going to work between us and i should study more and work hard and that I was just a distraction for her and everything was messed up at that time ... I was messed up at that time . "...

He was silent for some time and said " May be I was lacking ... May be that's why she left me ... I wasn't good enough "

I was looking at him and saw some tears rolling on his face ... I couldn't even stopped myself and just hugged him
And said " You are not lacking, Ani . Please don't say that ... You haven't done anything wrong ... She was wrong when she said you are distraction ... you are anything but that "

I didn't realise how long we were at the same position ... So , I broke our hug when he said " Thank you Ananya"

I couldn't say anything after that ... I mean what should I say? ... " Yeah, huh, I mean , yeah, it's okay.. no, I mean you are welcome Ani "

He smiled and said" you are always like this when you get awkward or am I special ?"

"No , I always ..." " Hey don't make fun of me ... it's just ... I mean , yeah... No ...

He said pointing at me "See... Again ... You are like yeah , no, I mean , yeah , no... It's funny " and started laughing ...

"Go away ... Stop making fun..."

"It's cute "

"What?"

"It's cute ... It's fun to see you like this "

"So basically you like to see me being awkward ? "

"No, I like to see your cute sides, its like I get to know you better or get to know your other different sides ."

I was shocked so didn't say anything ... We didn't even realise but it was late and dark so we bid eachother good night and went to our rooms.
