Chapter 71

Rahul – Okay. So whats your first question?

Muskaan – Who is your first crush?

Rahul – You of course!

 

Muskaan raised her eyebrows.

 

Rahul – I mean…You were my crush from the beginning but I just never noticed it.

 

Muskaan – Oh!

 

Rahul – Now let me ask you a question. Did you crush on anybody else except me?

Muskaan – Yeah.

 

Rahul opened his mouth wide in shock.

 

Rahul – You did?

 

Muskaan – Remember Abhijeet? I told you I had a crush on him when we were 13.

 

Rahul – Oh yeah, I remember ! Abhijeet the nutcase! I cant believe you had a crush on him!

Muskaan – he was really cute!

Rahul – And really stupid!

Muskaan – Shut up!

 

Rahul – Anyone else?

 

Muskaan – Yes. Neil too.

 

Rahul – You had a crush on NEIL? The guy from our college?

Muskaan – Yes, we went out too.

 

Rahul(shocked) – You DATED him?

 

Muskaan nodded.

 

Muskan – Yup.

 

Rahul – Why didn't you tell me?

 

Muskaan – I saw no reason to bother you with that information.

 

Rahul – Did you kiss him?

Muskaan nodded again. Rahul drops his jaw.

 

Rahul – WHAT? I thought you loved me since childhood…..so how the heck did you go out with him?

 

Muskaan – Actually, you were dating Trishala then. You hardly LOOKED at me. So I thought I would just move on with life and find someone new.

 

Muskaan looked at Rahul. He was seething in anger. Muskaan grinned.

 

Muskaan – you are SO jealous!

Rahul – No I am not.

 

Muskaan – Yes you are!

 

Rahul – No!

 

Muskaan- Yes!

 

Rahul – Fine. I accept.

 

Muskaan grinned triumphantly.

 

Muskaan – HA!

Rahul – So you still like him?

Muskaan – Maybe.

 

Rahul's opens his mouth in shock.

 

Rahul – MAYBE?

Muskaan – Yeah.Maybe I still like him.

 

Rahul looked hurt, it was clearly seen in his eyes. Muskaan chuckled and wrapped her arms around his chest.

 

Muskaan – I was just kidding jaanu! Hoe can I EVER think of any other guy when you are beside me? My eyes refuse to look at any other man when you are beside me. I rather KILL myself than look at any other man.

 

Rahul raise his eyesbrows.

 

Muskaan – Too corny eh?

 

Rahul chuckled.

 

Rahul – Yeah. But are you really sure you don't like him anymore.

 

Muskaan rolled her eyes.

 

Muskaan – No.

 

Rahul – Good. Because if you had said yes, I would have killed him first and then commit suicide.

 

Muskaan (sarcastically) – Ha-ha!

 

Suddenly-

 

A voice – RAHUL? MUSKAAN?
