Chapter 3

* A week later*

 

 

It was now normal for the college students to see Rahul and Muskaan together. The girls were extremely jealous to see Muskaan with Rahul and as Armaan reported to Rahul. Trishala was jealous too.

 

But surprisingly. Rahul enjoyed having Muskan as his 'girlfriend' she was extremely supporting (unlike Trishala) She kept his need in front of hers( unlike Trishala) and was extremely sweet too (unlike Trishala again).

 

* Armaan and Rahul alone *

Armaan – Our plan is working. Accordint to my sources. Trishala is really Jealous.

 

Rahul grinned. He was happy to hear that.

 

Armaan – And if keeps on going like this. It will be soon that you get rid of Muskaan.

 

Rahul's smile changed into a frown. He didn't know why but he didn't want to break Muskaan's heart.

 

Rahul sighed, gave Armaan a small smile and started walking towards the Library where he expected Muskaan to be.

 

Rahul liked being around with Muskaan. She was fun, jovial and not to mention talkative. He smiled thinking about her animated conversations. You couldn't help but be lost in her conversations.

 

Rahul entered the library. All the students in the library turned to look at him. Whispers started lowing. Rahul grinned. They were clearly surprised to see him there; afterall he had never se foot in the library.

 

Rahul searched for Muskaan but she was nowhere to be seen. He saw Atul and he walked upto him.

 

Rahul – Muskaan kaha hai?

 

Atul – who abhi abhi Ridzi ke saath canteen gayi hai.

 

Rahul – Oh ! Okay thankz..

 

And saying so Rahul rushed out of the Library to the canteen.

 

He saw her emerging from the canteen. She was with Ridzi. Apparently they were arguing about something. Rahul walked upto them

 

Muskaan ( To ridzi ) – HAH ! I was right !

 

Riddima – No! You are not! I am!

Muskaan stuck her tongue out at Riddima and so did Riddima.

 

Rahul grinned, Both of them were so silly sometimes.

 

Rahul – Hello? Remember me?

 

Muskaan and Ridizi grin

 

Muskaan and Ridzi – Hi !

 

Riddima ( to Muskaan ) – I got to go. Extra Class. I wont be coming with you today.Sorry.

 

Muskaan – Oh! That's okay.

 

Riddima smiles and leaves.

 

Rahul – So. How do you go home?

 

Muskaan – With my scooty. But since its under repair. I guess I have to ho by bus. ( thinking) I wonder what the bus fare is..

 

Rahul rolled his eyes. Muskaan was so different from the other girls.

 

Rahul – What am I here for? I will give you a ride home!

 

Muskaan – NO. That's okay.

 

Rahul – I insist.

 

And saying so he drags Muskaan by the hands and makes her sit behind me on he bike.

 

Soon they reach Muskaan's hostel. Muskana gets off the bike and turns to Rahul.

 

Muskaan – Thanks!

Rahul – Anytime.

 

Muskaan turns and heads for the hostel gate,  but before she could do so Rahul caught Muskaan's hands.

 

Muskaan – What?

Rahul – Aren't you forgetting something?

Muskaan – What?.

 

Muskaan asks innocently.

 

Rahul – My payment.

 

Muskaan – Payment?

Rahul – Yeah. My payment for dropping you here.

 

Muskaan grins.

 

Muskaan – How much do you want?

 

Rahul – Its not money I want.

 

Muskaan – Then what do you want?

 

Rahul – A kiss.

 

Muskaan – I wont give you that. Now let me go.

 

Rahul – I wont.

 

Muskaan smiled. Ad she leaned towards Rahul's cheek and gave him a quick peck.

 

Rahul felt a zing pass through him. He let go of Muskaan's hands clearly dazzled. Muskaan takes advantage of the situation and quickly runs away. Rahul gets back to his senses.

 

Rahul ( calls after Muskaan ) – HEY ! NOT FAIR ! IS THAT ALL I GET ?

 

Muskaan just sticks his tongue at him and walks away. Rahul grinned.
