"Vaise bhaiya ji...yahan ane ki koi khas wajah?"

Even though I know ki ye kyun aye hain but still I acted as if his arrival was a surprise for me.

"Tumse milne aya hoon chotu...."

He pulled my cheek and I heard Ruhi and Nitin giggling .

That's why I don't like being called chotu in college !!!

"Milne?? Bhaiya main apke sath apke ghar par hi rehti hoon.....".

He sighed and said," Haan par kya itna kaafi hai?? Dekho na hum dono apni - apni life mein itne busy ho gaye hain ki ab thikh se baat karne ke liye bhi weekend ka intzaar karna padta hai..."

Melodramatic mode on!!

I gave him that narrow eyed look...

"Yaar I am hungry!! Chalo na khuch khane chalte hain...",Ruhi started wailing and then she excitedly said to Anni bhai," Bhaiya apne gate ke paas wali pani puri try ki kabhi?? Bhout tasty hai!!!".

******************************

"Seriously maine aaj tak itni saari ladkiyon ko ek ladke ke piche iss kadar pagal hote hue nhi dekha!!".

Me and bhai just smiled at him.

Trisha aur Ruhi apni classes attend karne chali gai aur main, with hero and crush, wapas se usi classroom mein agai.

Seriously this place is heaven.

"Ye to khuch bhi nhi....tum soch bhi nhi sakte ki school ke dino mein bhai ko kitne saare love letters milte the."

Bhai chuckled, maybe he recalled those cheesy letters whereas Nitin was literally shocked.

"Love letters!!"

"Aur I am sure ki ab phir se inhe proposals milne shuru ho jayeinge and I will be the mail man", I said with a huff.

Well , maine socha nhi tha ki aaj itni maza ayegi. Although I really wanted to spend sometime alone with Pandey ....but still this day actually went well.

I mean, bhai aur Nitin ki kaafi acchi bonding ho gai. Nitin ne bhai ko bataya ki vo Indian army join karna chahta hai but he was still confused about this.

Hero is the right person to talk about this as he also wants to join Indian army or indian air force.

"Toh Nitin....tum army join karna chahte ho?",bhai asked him.

He nodded and then bhai said ," May be I can help you with this...."

******************************

( Same evening )

We both were on the terrace and were enjoying the evening tea.

Today...there was an unusual silence between us.

Bhai mujhse nazre tak nhi mila rhe. He is rubbing his fingers nervously...something's off.

I cleared my throat to grab his attention. He looked at me and I said," Bhai apki chai thandi ho rhi hai."

He nodded and started taking slow sips.

"Kya hua hero? Aap pareshan lag rhe ho."

Bhai sighed and said ," I don't know how to tell you this...but I think he is not good for you.."

I frowned but remained quite.

He continued," I don't think he is serious about you or your relationship.."

"Wait...what relationship?", I stopped him .

"You guys are not dating ?"

"Of course not!!, Wo mujhe kyun date karega?? He is just out of my league", I replied.

And that thing hit me hard. Suddenly the realization dawned upon me.

Of course he is out of my league, he is smart, handsome, cute  and I am just a girl of clumsiness...he always participates in different competitions, he is popular and here I am....an anonymous student of an anonymous college of Lucknow city.

"Chotu....", I heard bhai calling me softly. He kept his hand on my shoulder, I looked at him and passed him a small smile.

"Bhai ye bas ek tarfa payaar hai...vo nhi janta ki main use bhout pyaar karti hoon aur na hi use kabhi pta chalega....main use kabhi khuch bataungi hi nhi. Main uski dost hoon, aur zindagi bhar uski dost ban kar hi rahungi...."

Bhai said," Chotu tum uski wajah se khud ko dukhi mat karo...

"Jis din maine realize kiya tha ki main use pyaar karti hoon , uss din ek aur baat bhi realize ki thi maine ki chahte hue bhi hum dono ek nhi ho payeinge aur iss kahani ke end mein main akeli reh jaungi....".

Maine bhai ke samne main baat rakhi hi nhi....shayad aaj ke zamane mein vo baat itni bhi important na ho par Nitin ki family shayad uss baat ko bhout manti hai.....aur vo hai caste...

Meri family to love marriage aur intercaste marriage ke support mein rehti hai...with some terms and conditions, of course...

But his family is not flexible about this.

Ye baat mujhe khudh Nitin ne ek baar batai thi.

He is a family person...vo apni family ke against to kabhi nhi jayega aur main bhi nhi chahti ki vo apne parivar walo ka dil dukhi kare...isliye to sab ab apne kanha ke hathon swaup diya hai....

Aur abhi to vaise bhi ye sab soch kar time waste karne ka koi matlab nhi banta....we are students and we need to focus on padai....not on vivah and sagai...

But still me being a kayastha girl and him being a brahmin boy...hope this thing will ends well... atleast in the terms of friendship....

[ Author's note: guys maine iss chapter ke through Varsha aur Nitin ki kahani ka ek aur side dikhaya hai...caste difference ka....I hope ye kisi ko offensive na lage....aur ek aur baat ....maine cast thodi si update ki hai....to aap log pehle ke 2 chapters mein cast dekh lijiye aur mere ko bataiye ga ki casting kaisi lagi.... thank you....]
