*Rekha Pov*
"Are you looking for someone?" I turned to see my three best friends looking at me curiously as I am looking at the opposite direction to the one they are glancing at.
"Where is your girlfriend?" I asked staring at Rakesh and he immediately gestured behind me.
"You are here?" I asked finding Kavitha behind me but she is looking disturbed just like me.
I can understand her completely as she is closer to her than all of us. So she will also have the same thoughts as me but at a major level.
"What happened to both of you? We are supposed to show happy expressions, remember? He must already be feeling sad to not be in the same year as us. So, just change your expressions." Vikesh commented frowning at us.
"Don't worry! We will be meeting as usual. And Kavitha will be in the same class. There will be no problem." Rakesh comforted him and all I could do is sigh in defeat hearing their words.
"You both must be thinking about her, right?" Kalyan asked finally giving a sense of relief that there is still hope for men to not be completely clueless.
"Yes! Did she come to college?" I asked glancing at Kavitha who is her best friend and also a classmate.
"Of course! She never missed a class last semester and she is attending the lecture right now even though it's the first day." She replied and cleared her throat to say something which none of us are going to like for sure.
"I informed her that he will be returning to college today. But... but she didn't say anything or even gave a slight reaction." I kind of expected but it is still disheartening to hear that.
"I don't know what are you guys worrying about. When we tell her the truth everything will go back to normal." Rakesh assured us.
"Why are you so clueless?" his girlfriend scolded and I smiled looking at the person getting out of his Dad's car.
We all rushed towards him without saying another word before hugging him. It's been so long since we met him and to top of that, he can finally start his classes.
"Let me breathe!" he complained smiling and we finally let him go but his eyes started looking around and that smile slipped his face for sure.
"It's lunchtime, right? Let's go and have some food before you go and get the remaining details regarding your classes." I mumbled pulling him towards the canteen side while gesturing Kavitha who immediately understood before walking away towards her class.
"Where is she..." Rakesh started but Kalyan stopped him from saying anything else before whispering our intention.
It is still not lunch break but it's going to be so we were able to get our regular table without much effort.
"We will get your favorites." Saying that Vikesh and Kalyan left while I was feeling more than nervous thinking how everything will get settled.
I can't believe I am the one feeling worried about their relationship. Who am I? What have I become? I thought shaking my head.
Everyone started pouring in and the whole canteen filled with the students. However, all of us are just waiting for just one person.
"There she is!" Rakesh said waving his hand at his girlfriend who is walking towards the counter instead of coming here before shaking her head at his gesture.
"Let them get food, Rakesh." I mumbled stopping him from calling her again.
I glanced at the one beside me and found his eyes following her every moment ignoring Rakesh and Kavitha's interaction completely as if he can't see any of us.
I turned back towards the two of them finally walking towards our table with their lunch trays and it feels like a déjà vu as the same thing happened two years back. Will everything be like that time too?
"Mihira! He is back in college." Rakesh commented smiling at her while arranging the seats to get his girlfriend to sit beside him while leaving an empty chair opposite the person who is still just staring at her.
I can't believe even the seating arrangement is the same as that time. After that, we all held our breaths when she calmly sat down without showing any hesitance before nodding at Rakesh.
"Welcome back, Abhilash." Saying that she started having her food while we just stared at her.
That's it? That's all she is going to say? Not going to shout at him or show any kind of anger or sadness? Nothing? She is that disinterested about him? Is it... is it really late to turn everything into normal?
#TWO YEARS BACK#*Mihira Pov*"She is going to stay home even today?" I closed my eyes hearing my Dad's question."Yes! It's been three days and I think the problem is major than we thought." Even though my eyes are closed I still rolled my eyes hearing that from my Mom."Did she got bullied? Is that why she stopped going to college after the first two days?" As expected from my Dad to think like that and I can't blame it as it is his occupational hazard."I don't know! When did she ever express her thoughts? I wish she is still a kid who used to share every single thought of hers." I couldn't stop myself anymore and stood up not able to hear those w
*Mihira Pov*"You already dragged me there yesterday. Why should I come there even today?" I asked moving away from her hold before she could just walk towards the table."Let's have lunch with them. We need not search for a table separately and we both will not be bored with just each other." She replied smiling but I shook my head."You wanted me to meet your boyfriend and I met him along with friends yesterday. That's it! Why do we need to sit with them?" I asked taking another step back while handling my tray."Because he is my boyfriend and I want to know his friends." She replied as if it is a common reply and it is but she doesn't know why I don't want
*Mihira Pov*"What is it?" I asked walking closer to the window finding the curtains still closed like they were from the day I expressed my feelings."I was feeling cold and that's why I closed them." He mumbled ignoring my question while I rolled my eyes because the day he closed them is summertime and from where did he got cold."Okay! What do you want to talk about?" I asked still looking at the curtains not wishing to show him that I don't believe those words at all.I guess I was in a rush when I confessed everything but those three years when we couldn't hang out like normal felt more than abnormal for me and I didn't want that to continue but my soluti
*Mihira Pov*"I am missing my college days even though I am standing just near the entrance." He said looking around while my friend looks excited to meet my boyfriend.He suddenly called me when I finished my class and kind of slipped it near her that he is my boyfriend and she became adamant to meet him."You finished your studies from this college too?" she asked before I could react to his statement and I am glad that she did because I am still not used to say something without thinking a lot about it."Yes! Shall we go?" he asked glancing at me."I was just teasing her that you need to treat me but I wil
*Abhilash Pov*"We can leave now, right?" she asked checking the time while I gave her a nod as no one seems to be waiting outside and it is safe to go outside."We are acting there is some danger outside." I mumbled sighing while she chuckled seeing my expression."I could have left long back though. But had to stay back because of you." She pointed out before standing up while I shook my head knowing well I will get teased by her whenever she remembers this incident."Why don't I become your bodyguard to protect you from your Ex-girlfriends?" she asked forwarding her hand to help me.I took hold of it befor
*Abhilash Pov*"Are you going to skip your classes?" I asked frowning at her when she picked her bag to leave after checking the time."They are not that important and we don't have any lab today." She replied concentrating on her bag while gesturing Kalyan to do the same."It's our bad luck that we have basketball practice. Otherwise, we would have been able to join them." Vikesh whined beside me."How can skipping classes be something to be the envy of? We should be stopping them." I pointed out but he just shook his head.They all planned to go for a movie that released today except for Vikesh, Rekha, and of course me. We have practice after the classe
*Abhilash Pov*"It would have been nice to meet your parents too." Vikesh commented stepping into her house after she finally succeeded in stopping him."No! Uncle scares me a bit." Kavitha said shaking her head."He was talking to his subordinate and kind of raised his voice." She explained when I stared at Kavitha in surprise hearing that because her Dad is really sweet.It still surprises me how can he be a police officer when he is that sweet regarding everything and he cares for everyone too.Maybe that's why he gets too involved in the cases which caused all the disturbance in her family on the other ha
*Mihira Pov*“What are you guys doing? Let’s go!” at present, I am trying to rush these people towards the court but they are delaying too much.“There is still time for the match to begin. Why are you rushing us like this?” Kavitha complained but I continued to push them ignoring their irritation.After we reached the place, I found the perfect place for us to sit before making sure everyone sits without leaving the place.“Learn from her about how to listen and stop complaining.” I complained pointing Rekha who is the only one listening to me and following with everything I am asking.“We need to cheer for them. How can you do this to your friends?” I asked frowning before sitting at my place and found that the players from both teams are practicing right now.I waved at Abhi and Vikesh who saw us and they waved back smiling before continuing their practic
