Chapter 14
"I don't care as far as you are with me" she said gently
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow and nodded his head
She gazed at him lovingly but he looked all over the place except her
"why do you keep staring like this?" he queried
Aarti smiled "I don't know, something happens to me when I see you"
Veer did not bother much "why did you call me here?"
Aarti strode closer "I wanted to meet you"
"Look Aarti" Veer stepped back "I am really busy, and I thought that was something serious that you want to talk about but you just called me for nothing"
He was about to walk away when she hold his hand "please don't go" she made a request
He didn't turn to look at her "leave my hand Aarti" he demanded
Aarti did not leave his hand, instead she hold it more tightly
Veer was now frowning when he turned to look at her "Aarti, will you stop"
Before he could utter another word she placed a small kiss on his lips then quickly ran away leaving behind Veer with a shocked face.
----------------------------------
Kirti was still busy reading the last chapter of her favourite novel when the door of the room banged loudly against the wall "you frightened me" she yelped
Aarti excitedly hopped onto her bed
Kirti was already annoyed at her, it had already been days since she spoke to her dear sister nicely
"What's your problem Aarti?" Kirti got up from her bed and stood near her sister with one hand on her tiny waist
"Nothing" replied Aarti
"Then behave yourself...you scared me" said Kirti
Aarti was least concerned about anything else happening in the world. She only thought about the sensation she went through couple of minutes back. Her entire frame was feeling his closeness as if she was always longing for him. She touched her lips and smiled, then looked herself in the mirror.
Kirti wasn't surprised to see her sister going crazy "nothing new" she murmured and carried on with her reading
Aarti lied down on the bed and looked up the ceiling...she was going through a different feeling. For the first time in life she kissed someone and felt like kissing him again and again. She shy away and took over the sheet on her face and whispered softly "I love you Veer".
------------------------
This was Arjun's last bottle of bear "I am sick and tired of this college"
Nakul was still laughing at his friend "not college, but the girls in this college"
Arjun was super angry at Kavita "I will never see her face again, she has no manners."
Uday and Nakul laughed at Arjun who was almost drunk.
"Be strong Arjun, go to her and tell her you are angry at her" said Uday
Nakul almost fell on the floor laughing "you are mad, as if she is waiting for Arjun to come and say this"
Arjun threw the bottle away "yes I am going now"
Nakul and Uday stopped him "it's too late to enter the girl's hostel"
----------------------------
Veer was still thinking about the way Aarti kissed him. Though he felt little different but he was not happy about this. He was now sure that Aarti has no brains. Mindless girl she was falling for him. The more he wanted to stay away from her, the more she tried to come closer. "I must find a way to get out of this mad situation". He opened the door and found Arjun being pulled by Nakul and Uday
"What the hell is going out here?" Veer questioned annoyingly
Nakul laughed "Arjun is going to girl's hostel to meet Kavita"
Veer was shocked "what is happening to all of you?"
"Look who's talking" teased Uday
Veer was now angry "just shut up and Arjun have you lost your brains?"
Arjun took out another bottle "I will kill her"
Veer was looking at the room, it seemed he has come to a liquor store "fine, go"
"And why the hell are you stopping him" Veer pulled Nakul and Uday away
"Let him get some medicine from the girl's hostel" Veer said
Arjun looked at Veer "you are my friend Veer, can't you help me. We must take hockey sticks and chains"
Veer least bothered and walked to have some shower
Nakul laughed "hockey sticks and chains for girls"
Arjun was frowning "yes"
"Let's go Nakul, Arjun has dropped his brain somewhere" Uday laughed and both walked out of his way.
Arjun was not happy and walked out of the room
--------------------------
Veer was having his shower when his mobile rang... he did not see the number and turned off the shower to answer "yes"
Aarti smiled then kissed on the phone
Veer was shocked again and looked at the number "Aarti"
"Yes, that's me" she replied shyly
"What do you want now?" he said holding his head
"You" she said
"What?" he added
"I mean, I want to meet you" she said softly
"Aarti stop calling me, I am not coming" Veer said and cancelled the phone
Aarti was not happy "then I will come" she said to herself
Veer was thinking about her now. He looked in the mirror and saw himself, his eyes scanned around and he looked at his lips that were touched by another lips for the first time. Suddenly he was annoyed over himself for letting Aarti kiss him.
He closed his fist in anger and decided not to let her come closer at all. He has to make some distance.
------------------------
Later during the night...
Kavita and Kirti were busy making the project while Aarti was getting ready to go out.
Sheetal was still sitting near the window and talking to Sameer... they had already chosen a spot to talk. Everyday Sameer climbed the window and stopped for a while to talk to Sheetal.
"Aarti where are you going?" queried Kirti
"Going out" Aarti replied without bothering to look around
Kirti immediately took her phone and called Vikram "hi, it's me"
Sometime later
Aarti reached outside the boys hostel... she was still thinking of the way to enter the hostel when she saw Arjun coming out... she tried to hide around the big bush but then something clicked in her mind "Arjun" she called out
Arjun saw Aarti waving at him. "Aarti, you"
Aarti smiled at him "where are you going?"
Arjun was already angry at Kavita "to meet your friend, what she thinks of herself"
"Correct, she's a snob" added Aarti
Arjun looked at her "by the way, what are you doing here?"
She looked at the bottle of bear in his hand "listen, you want to go and meet Kavita and fight"
"Yes, I want to go right now" he said angrily
"Ok, I will help you reach girls hostel but you have to help me reach your room" she whispered
Arjun was shocked "what are you talking?"
"Give me this bottle and take off your shirt" she said softly
Arjun cling to his shirt "why?"
"Idiot, I will wear your clothes and enter boys hostel" she said
Arjun was confused and nervous
"Come on, I don't have time" Aarti forced him
He reluctantly gave his sweatshirt to Aarti
Aarti tied her hair in a bun and covered her head with the hoodie
"Fine, now you can go to the girls hostel" she said and started walking towards the hostel
Arjun was now completely lost, he sat on the ground and finally lied down.
Aarti saw the bottle in her hand and thought of having a sip.. "Yuck" she said to herself
"How can anyone drink it" she waited for the lights to turn off.
The moment she saw the hostel quiet, she softly walked towards one of the room, she looked up before opening the door "number 12" she smiled and slightly opened the door.
She could see bear bottles all around the place, Nakul and Uday were doing some project on the study table. Her eyes were scanning for Veer... she immediately walked to one of the beds and face the other side.
Nakul smiled "why have you come so early, you went to take revenge"
Uday nodded his head and concentrated on his book
Aarti smiled but did not turn around. Instead took a sheet over herself.
"He must sleep after drinking so much" said Uday
Few seconds later Veer came out of the shower and reached for his wardrobe.
Aarti slide the sheet a little to see. She was almost stunned to see Veer. He looked just handsome. The way she always imagined in her dreams.
Veer turned around to the bed "Arjun, get up and sleep on your bed"
Aarti smiled...
Soon they heard a knock on the door
Sameer came in "can anyone come to help pick that drunker lying in the garden"
Nakul and Uday laughed but then looked at him "who?"
"Arjun, who else" said Sameer
"If that is Arjun, then who is sleeping here?" Nakul said
All four walked towards the bed ...
Veer thought it could be one of his enemies who may have hurt Arjun and now wearing his clothes.
"You go get him, I will see who is sleeping on this bed"
"But Veer" said Sameer
"Sshh" Veer made them quiet "just leave"
Veer prepared himself, bolted the door from inside and picked up his hockey stick and moved towards the bed
He quickly lifted the sheet...
Aarti laughed "did I scare you?"
"Aarti" Veer was super shocked and irritated at the same time
"Yes, I was missing you" she said and took of the shirt...
"Good you bolted the door" she said softly
Veer threw the hockey stick away "Aarti listen, you shouldn't have come here"
Aarti stepped more closer while Veer wanted to avoid her "stop there Aarti, I am telling you"
"I don't want to stop" she whispered
Veer was now furious, he slapped her on the face "don't you understand"
She touched her cheek and smiled "no I don't "
Soon they heard the knock at the gate...
Aarti was still gazing at Veer while he was thinking of a way to let Aarti get out of the room. "Go, hide in the bathroom as of now"
Veer opened the door the moment to slide in the bathroom.
Nakul and Uday lifted Arjun to the bed. Sameer glanced around "where's the man gone?"
Veer closed the door "Sameer, it wasn't a man"
Sameer looked curiously
"It's Aarti" Veer added.
Sameer was shocked "what?" then he smiled.
