"Arnav..." someone called him as my eyes tangled with his for a brief moment in that canteen.
so, his name was Arnav...not bad...I thought with a small smile on my lips.
Kiran shook me again..."Khushi, what happend to you? I see that you have not even heard half of what I spoke in last 5 minutes...where are you lost?"
(No one's POV)
no...Khushi answered Kiran with a naughty smile on her lips... I am listening to you, but it's not my fault! it's this guy who is constantly looking at me, he is one of our Juniors I suppose...one of these days I need to know what are his intentions...
Kiran tried to look around to find the so-called guy eyeing Khushi...before too late Khushi stopped her saying, don't you dare start making him conscious...I will show him later to you in the corridor of our school building.
Vijay and Sam just returned from the canteen with tea glasses in their hands...vijay said, Kiran it is your turn to pay today. Kiran got up with a frown on her face muttering, I know...that's why you ate extra Samosas today.
Vijay laughed at Kiran...what will happen to you if you spend a little more from your father's ever-growing fortune...you and your brothers are only going to add to the existing riches once you become civil servants...what is there to complain!
Enough Vijay... leave her alone...said Khushi trying to stop Vijay's mockery of Kiran's family. They all lived in the same Lakshmi enclave where all the neo-rich of the town erected their banglows some 20 years back...but since Kiran's father was particularly famous for his stinginess everyone in the colony never left a chance make a mockery of his fondness for riches.
Lets go Khushi...it's getting late for our study hour...said Kiran putting her valet in the tight jeans pocket. Khushi got up adjusting her dupatta carefully to cover her full breasts as she stood up with her jhola...she always wore it across her right shoulder so as to bring the jhola on top of her left hip bone...she knew, at 5 feet 6 inch height, with a slim waistline and curvy hips which ended in making a beautiful round curve towards her bottoms, she had to be careful not to flaunt her lush bust as well- as it would only make it difficult for her to avoid all the unwanted attention from the men.
As she got up covering her pink dupatta of the Lucknow chikkankari suit...she felt the gaze again from that corner where Arnav stood with his friends...a girl was trying to make sure he had his eyes on her while she continuously chatted away pulling his hand towards the class rooms...while he absent mindedly nodded to her gestures...it was unexplainable to Khushi what she felt when she saw him being pulled away by a girl like that...she just shook her thoughts to get herself going in the direction of Kiran who was already a few steps ahead of her with Vijay and Sam.
It was not long before, Sam called out to Khushi...come on, it is getting darker all around, and we don't want to end up in trouble of loosing you in the dark...Khushi smiled at Sam and nodded while fastening her steps to meet the rest of her friends...
All the while she was in the Library, Khushi could not help but think of Arnav..and his soft yet grilling looks towards her...it was not the vulgar hunger she saw in the eyes of many men whenever she passed by..it was some sort of warmth that made her remember his eyes...he looked at her as if they knew each other for ages...she was not sure what to make out of this warmth coming from a stranger's eye for her...
It was not too long, before it was time to go back to their respective hostel rooms-
the boys usually dropped the girls back at the ladies hostel and then rushed back for their own student mess in men's hostel...it was their daily routine for last 2 years already...they all just registered for an M.Phil. in the University so as to stay there together and also prepare for the civil service exams- away from all the hustle bustle of the family life and social curtness of Lakshmi Enclave.
As they were about to reach the hostel, Khushi felt a familiar sensation, as her neck started giving her goosebumps...even without turning her head, she already knew it was Arnav...probably he came to drop the girls in their group...she thought, and without turning her back she bid goodnight to Vijay and Sam and stepped into the hostel gate which stopped the boys from entering the Ladies hostel (LH) campus.
She could not help but feel the disappointment of Arnav... for her not turning back to see him on her way in...as she walked past the Jasmin bush closing her room door inside the hostel...to walk towards the mess she thought...how come she understood him without even talking one word with him? Is this normal? Or was that her imagination??
Arnav started peddling the bicycle along with his friends towards the men's hostel located some 4 km. away from the LH...he constantly questioned himself...why did she not turn back to see me on her way into the LH...was she even aware of my presence there? May be...may be not... Anyways, he knew he had to keep the respectful distance from her, as she was not one of those women who craved for attention from men...and even tried her best to hide her beauty from distracting her from her career related goals...
phew...finally I am in the hostel...and I am starving to death...Arnav sighed locking the cycle in the shed and walking directly into the mess with NK, his best friend and cousin who shared a room with him in the men's hostel (MH).
