Hola folks!! So this os Not a sequel or second part ,its basically a counterpart of the os in different narrative point.It is more like deewani series.I just had to write this as someone*cough* said that why I always make sumo grey and dark.Definitely not my best, actually far from it.I was waiting for Rudra at the entrance from the past one week we've been going together inside the college, being new to the college has its own perks.He wasn't like those typical college boys.For one he respected girls.From my point he was perfect , rich family,good genes ,sporty ,a perfect package.Maybe that was the reason of my unrequited brewing feelings for him.For me he was a mixture of all good and dangerous in the world.
That's when I first saw her entering the college,in her full glory like she owned this college.She looked every inch of rebel .Dark jean shorts, thick colossal ,chains dangling off her neck, a tattoo peeking from the space between her charm bracelets and her signature leather jacket.Not to forget her razor sharp molten chocolate orbs.
I was curious about her,she didn't even spared a look to the people who were observing her every single step.I would have turned my head and looked away from her if it wasn't for the Rudra, who came running and carelessly threw his arm around her shoulder,making her stumble a bit.I watched then from afar as he ruffled her hair ,scattering them which earned him a slap at the back of his head from her.
This Rudra seems to completely opposite of what I saw past week.Polite and charming.He looked kind of brash.I became more curious about the goth girl, she seemed quite friendly with Rudra,if that was a term to define.On inquiring about her ,I finally got to know the status of that girl her.Soumya, best friend or frenemy of Rudra,those two were the things that mattered to me.I didn't even paid respect to other other aspects like her being a lead guitarist in a rock band or her being popular.At that time all mattered to me was that particular girl,Soumya ruining my relationship with Rudra.
As the days passed ,I saw more of their interactions,Rudra hardly talked to me not that we were always talking earlier.They seems to be joined by hip, always together.There was always a war of pranks or word war going in between them yet they were close.People adored them, not necessarily all girls but nonetheless.She wasn't afraid to speak her mind,she openly insulted Rudra many times.Though as time passed i got to know they weren't insults but their way of talking.I saw the way how his eyes light up when he sees her.
Now i finally understood why girls were envious of her.She was living a dream.I tried to hate her as i saw how Rudra behaved with her,it was like he could be just himself in front of her.I wanted to be in her place,i wanted to be the girl he leans on.But I wasn't.Hating her would be easier if she was really a devil but she was a fairly normal girl just tinged with rebellion.
Rudra always seems to teasing ,he loved doing that.I tried to divert his attention to me by stumbling into him unnecessarily or desperately jumping in his ways.I don't think any of that worked.He still looked at her like she was the only girl in this world.I think.my heart just broke a little as I saw him trapping her between him and locker door.He was all glittery,all thanks to soumya.I turned a blind eye to his every gesture towards her thinking it just as a friendship.
Jealousy was slowly seeping into my veins yet i couldn't bring myself to hate her when she was soo good to me and threw a lazy smile in my direction whenever I see her.All I could do was admire her for the head strong personality and courage she possessed, she never paid even a bit attention to the rumor mills going about her.I was once invited to their lunch table too though i felt a bit left out as they were such close knit friends ,their group was so untypical,breaking all stereotypes.Romi,the girl with beauty ,i don't know how this girl managed to became their friend as Soumya hardly talks to these fashionista girls.Then there is Rehaan aka Student body president and finally Omkara ,though he is Rudra's brother but he acted more like Soumya's brother.
My all hopes went down on the football match day, there were always have been rumors about. Quarterback being vulnerable about the guitarist.He once even had a tiff with Rehaan because of Soumya though at the end Soumya acted as a peacemaker between them.I saw her wearing Rudra's jersey,a symbol of being biggest fan of that player.Normally girlfriends wore that jersey but none of Rudra's past girlfriends got that privilege ,this jersey was only reserved for Soumya.Rudra never gave that jersey to anyone.I was slowly coming to know their friendship.
As a cheerleader I tried every possible move to anchor his attention but his gaze was fixed on only one person.He threw a two finger kiss on her way while she was sitting among the audience along with a wink.I never ever have experienced such a dreadful feeling,my heart felt heavier than usual.I could hardly keep up my calm facade.I don't know when match came to its finale and Rudra scored a goal.But I distinctly remember the crowd ,mostly boys chanting 'KISS' ,to which Rudra sweetly declined saying His girl doesn't like PDA.Even I had to look away from them,it felt like I was intruding
in their private moment.
The more I though about it ,the more clearer it became.There were so much hints about their potential relationship ,i was too blind to see.She doesn't own piece of his heart but she resides in his heart.Now I see,it wasn't one sided, Soumya cared for Rudra more than anyone else,just their way of loving was a bit different .Rudra was just Rudra to her not the star player.For me Rudra just remained as a star that could light my world a little yet remained far away from my reach.
This was the moment I came to realize ,I never stood a chance against her,she had owned his heart even before I came.He had been hers forever.Her Quarterback.
