The Dancing Tale

Chapter 23

"Aww. Ain't he just so romantic."

"It's nothing like that between us."

"But I can see some romance brewing."

I won't be a hypocrite and say that I don't want rudra to feel something for me but I am not ready for it too. Not yet at least . I may have been gotten over from divyansh but I am still apprehensive about all those feelings. They seem to be deep and I am not prepared for it.

"You are reading way too much pri. It's all friendly nothing else."

Friendly enough for sharing hot kisses.

"Then tell me why are you blushing just by telling me about those last 2 days you both spent together."

I dismissed her question and looked at my side towards the rudra who was sitting few seats away from us. He was noting something down on the notebook but like a psychic connection or something his face frowned when I was looking at him. He looked up from his notebook and looked at me. My heart suddenly skipped a beat but I didn't let my nervousness show on my face and flashed him a smile. He smiled a little on return and then again started looking down at his notebook.

I and priya were sitting in class waiting for the professor to walk in and get start with the lesson. I was telling her about the engagement and the incidents seems to give her more confidence on shipping me and rudra. Apparently she knew about his sister by kabir who gave her a brief explanation once.

It's been 2 days since we are back. That day we reached the house somewhere around 3 in morning. I was dead tired but I managed the energy to propel my body to my room. When we reached rudra's floor I bid him good night and he kissed my forehead again before replying it and stood at the end of the stairs until I was out of his sight. Next day he told his parents that he is finally ready to read that letter on his birthday. Uncle and aunty were happy that he is finally confronting the hurt and not running away anymore. Then at evening aunty came to my room and we talked for sometime.

She thanked me for being a good friend to rudra. She told me that she hasn't seen him happy in last 3 years, the way he is now and she thinks it has something to do with my influence on him as we both are pretty much same. Well aunty knew about my mother because my aunt told her. I told her not to thank me as it's my duty as a friend but she still did. I told her that rudra is going to see the room and I assured her I will be there with him. She understood that he needs to do this by his own. As I said they are great parents. Then she walked back down after kissing my head and giving me blessings.

Ain't love is the solution of all the problems in the world.

I and rudra hadn't talked much because we were working on projects.

"So class. Who is ready for surprise quiz." Professor said when she walked in.

The day went like usual after that. We attended classes. The dance society had meeting regarding the preparation for the coming up events so I and rudra went there because we both are the part of the dancing society. We decided to stay after the classes are done to prepare our dance. We had many competitions to participate in near future.

When we came back to home I went straight in my room to take a nap before we leave for slums.

"Rudra. Can I use your lap......"

I stopped my sentence in the middle when I saw he was shirtless. I came to use his laptop because mine wasn't working properly. And I guess I have a very bad timing.
