Chapter 4: The dream i had of you

I've been here all the time
as far as i know doing right
i've always waited for the moment
that you would come through my door
but this brought loneliness so far
i lay my hand onto my heart
is this the life i want to live
is this the dream i had of you

Gunjan

"So how was your evening?" asked Nupur as we walked towards our hostel room.

I looked at Nupur with a little surprise. Technically, I should ask this question to her, she knows that right? But I didn't say that to her as I guessed I might still be blushing from his memories. The way Nupur was staring me with a 'I-caught-you-while-you-were-stealing-cookie-from-the-jar' look only confirmed my suspicion. But I ignored it.

"You went on a date! You tell me." I give her a 100 watt smile. "How was your eve, BC?" BC is the short form of 'ButterCup". What? Didn't I mention before that we are the powerpuff girls?

"A date? Right.. I was on a Date with 3 guys and a girl, when one of them kept arguing with me all the time, two of them couldn't get enough of each-other, and one was just lost in your thoughts."

"Hey, do u want to say Maria and Benji, together?" I chuckled as she stared at me, exasperated. It was then that I registered the last line she said. He was lost in my thoughts? Oh, wow! HE was lost in MY thoughts! I could have done a small victory dance but I controlled myself and made a plain face as my brain reminded me for the umpteenth time that Nupur was also involved in this whole story!

"You can be a Duh sometimes!" she said with a small smile. I kept quiet, not knowing what to say.

We were now walking in the corridor which led to our room, when suddenly Nupur held my arm.

"Lets go upstairs!" She said pulling me towards the staircase which led to the terrace.

"What? No-no Nupur. I have a test tomorrow" I knew exactly what she was up to so I protested. But my friend is stronger than me.

She literally dragged me to the terrace and settled on the parapet.

"What now?" I said furiously, caressing my arm where she held me before. Does she have an idea that she can be a rowdy sometimes?

"Sit." She looked excited. Excited, with devilish grin. I knew this look. It was the same when we first dig out all the information about RV from Diya. She was going to interrogate me till I spill out the beans.

I sat down, my anger was fading away as nervousness filled me. As soon as she thought I'm a bit comfortable (Which by the way I was totally not!!) , she asked me, "Tell me now.."

"Tell you what?" I asked innocently.

"Oh bubbles don't play with me, okay? Just tell me what you feel about him." I gaped at her incredulously. She seemed so cool about it. In fact she was a little excited about knowing the answer. I liked the guy who was being set up with her. She could have dated him, but he didn't pay much attention because he was Lost!! In my thoughts – I blushed at the thought. Okay I need to push that thought away for time being. But Nupur was completely okay with this. Actually more than okay. She was excited about this thing.

"Hmm.. I don't know. Maybe .." I stammered.. "Just maybe okay? " She nodded seriously, hiding her amusement as I continued to find a right word, "He's charming.. and he's handsome and he's just so.."

"Aww.. bubbles.." she squealed and pulled me in a hug. "You're totally bowled over by him!"

Really! Was I? I was Gunjan Bhushan for god's sake! I didn't fall for guys. I never let anything or anyone distract me like that. But, obviously, this guys had some magical power which 'bowled me over'!

"Bubbles! " Nupur brought me back on earth. My friend was still looking at me expectantly.

"Okay I like him, I like him A LOT, and I can't stop thinking about him.." I said helplessly and sighed like a love struck lunatic.

"Wow.. It's so romantic" Nupur cooed. See? She can see romanticism in almost everything. Here I'm freaking out about how he has gained so much control over me and my friend finds it romantic!

"What's so romantic about it?" I shot her a glance.

"Well you can't stop thinking about it, he gets anxious to see you when he comes to know you're not well, and the way you get lost in his eyes…! For any normal person its Mills-n-Boons romantic dear!"

"Argh.. I hate Mills-n-Boons. I'm not romantic BC! But you know what, it feels good. Oh, it feels damn good to see him! But it freaks me out, coz I'm not this person. And I don't want to fall for any distraction." I said with sincere concern. Nupur just stared at me for some time.

"You know what your problem is?" She said looking at me thoughtfully, "You try to control everything. You want everything in check. You are freaking out because you are scared that you will get hurt if it doesn't work.. Just the way your brother got hurt." She said and sighed before continuing, "But what if it works? And even if doesn't, what are you going to lose? Come one, Gunjan! We're just 21, and we have a lifetime to live, to take chances, make mistakes.. And then come back again.. And you can't just ignore what your heart wants."

I looked at her curiously. Nupur could be so damn arrogant, sometimes a little bitchy, most of the times funny and adorable. But this side? This matured side was something of a once-in-a-decade thing.

"What?" She looked at me with furrowed brows.

"Nopes. Was just wondering when you grew up so much." I smirked as she got all riled up.

"So when I was trying to kick some sense into you, this was what you were thinking? Mocking me?"She said angrily, "I hate you already!" she pouted.

"Ow..! I am not mocking you.. I'm just.. you were like a motivational speaker. And I'm so motivated." She looked at me skeptically and I continued with a smile, "No really. I'm gonna go after what my heart wants."I said hugging her as she tried to whisk away from me. I chuckled

"Nupur, I am sorry." I said genuinely as she looked at me with her big sparkly eyes doubtfully, "No, I mean it. And it's not because I mocked you or something. It's because I went after your guy."

"Oh get over it, already" she said smiling, hugging me back, "He's not my guy, he never will be."

I stopped smiling and looked at her. "Is he that bad?" I said frowning.

"Oh.. no no.. I didn't mean that."She chuckled softly, "But look at you, going all protective over him."

"Hah.. I'm not protective or something. I don't even know the guy." I said suppressing my blush-y smile.

"Yea you are!" She said nodding her head as she got up and started moving towards the staircase.

"You're not going to tease me in front of Diya, are you?" I said as a devilish smile formed on her lips.

"Well the idea seems so tempting.." Nupur said smiling profusely while running towards our room.

"Diya seemed to be close to him.. what if she tells him? I'll die out of embarrassment" I shrieked.

"Look at you, you insecure little thing. I will tell diya, and she wont tell him."

"No… you can't" I pleaded her.."Please don't…!"

"Oh yes I can..!" She said and grabbed the door knob, "We are not supposed to keep secrets, bubbles!" She said as we entered the room.

"What secret?" Said Diya and we froze in the doorway. Oh- no –no.. She heard it. But.. she was not supposed to return to the hostel today. She was going to stay at her 'cousin's place', which we thought is some kind of code , when she wanted to stay at RV's place. But she was here. And she heard it. And she was staring us intently now.

Samrat

The cool wind of the night blowed on my face as I took a flight. Yes, that's right. It's kind of absurd but I was floating. In the middle of the night 20 feet above the gorgeous city looked like diamonds scattered on a black velvet cloth. I dived down in the air playfully and up again. It was really hard to figure out where I was going from up above. But then suddenly I was going down and landed in front of a building. I recognized that building, it was her hostel. But it must be closed at this hour of night. I was just thinking of turning back when I saw her pushing the large metal gate of her hostel slightly. She stepped out. I didn't know how she unlocked it but she came out. I just admired her pretty fair face and her soft features as she smiled and came closer.

"How did you know I was coming?" I asked her as her smile got wider, "And how did you open that heavy gate so easily?"

She chuckled and moved closer to me. "Because you wanted to see me. You wanted me to cross the barriers and see you." She blushed, the blush which made her fair cheeks rosy.

"But.. Why would you.." I looked at her in amazement and held her soft hands.

"Because that's what I want." She whispered in my ears . the air that blew on my neck as she breathed sent a shiver down my spine, some unknown feeling rising in my heart. Something that my heart couldn't understand. I had this urge of taking her in my arms and holding her tightly.

I opened my mouth to say something but just then some shrill sound interrupted me and I couldn't locate the source. A frown formed on her delicate face and she let go of my hands.

"Samrat, your phone!" She said, her voice was different now.

I searched the pockets of my jeans but it was not there.

"Pick up the phone, samrat.." She moved farther, slightly irritated. I searched the pockets of my jacket. The ring got louder and so gunjan's voice. She grabbed my shoulders and was shaking me now, all the while asking me to pick up the phone. I searched frantically for the stupid idiotic electronic device which had interrupted our cute little moment. I looked at her, and noticed that she was angry now. I had never seen this expression on her face, I thought. She stared at me angrily and said, "Dude, I'll kill you if you don't pick up the phone.." and she pushed me towards the ground and..

And I somehow landed on the floor of my room. I rubbed my eyes and blinked several times and looked at the surrounding through my sleepy haze, only to realize that I was in my apartment.

"Make it stop Dude, it's hurting my ears.. just pick up the damn thing or throw it away." Benji said sleepily while pressing a pillow on his head tightly, in an effort to block the sound. It was him who was shouting at me to pick up the cell, and pushed me out of bed. I smiled, I should have known better. Gunjan would never do that. Not even in a dream. I looked at the nightstand where my cell was laying. I reached for it but just then, it stopped ringing. I sighed and rolled back to the bed, just then it started ringing again.

"Damn it!" Benji cursed and hit the pillow he was pressing on his head on my back.

"Okay, okay! I got this!" I said and picked the phone in haste, and went to another room.

"Hello, Candy" I said yawning.

"Samrat? Were you sleeping?" I laughed inwardly at her question.

"No I was sleepwalking" I said sarcastically, "Of course I was sleeping. Hell, I was even dreaming, and you disturbed that." I scoffed.

"I'm sorry, I just.. I didn't think you'd sleep so early. It's just 1:30 and so unusual. I mean it's not even midnight for you, party guy.." I rolled my eyes as she reasoned.

"Okay, I get it. You want to say I'm unusual and abnormal who can't sleep till dawn. " I heard her chuckle and I rolled my eyes. "Seriously! Do you want to chit chat now? Because I'm too exhausted .. and sleepy" I added seriously.

"Hey, be nice. We haven't talked in days. You never call me; at least have some courtesy when I call you."

"In the middle of the night when I'm in a deep slumber, to remind me that my sleeping habits resembles to an owl?" I questioned mockingly, "Sorry! Not helping.."

"Heh.. No I didn't call you to talk about your sleeping patterns. In fact I.. uh.. " She added in a serious tone, "I wanted to talk about Gunjan."

My body tensed suddenly. My mind more alarmed, and my ears keen to hear what Diya wanted to say.

"What is it? Is she not feeling well again?" I was surprised at my own concerning tone.

"Oh wow.. so much concern over a girl! I'm impressed , Mr. Shergill." Diya said mocking me.

"Hey listen.. Uh.. Its not that.. Its just.. She wasn't feeling well today and.."

"And you bought her ice-cream, which according to you can miraculously cure everything, right Sammy? Don't forget, you made me eat 4 scoops of ice-cream when I was suffering from headache in 8^th grade." I laughed as she reminded me that incidence, only it has worsened her headache, as it was sinus induced headache. "But Gunjan is fine.. Apparently" She added after a pause.

"Then what is it?" I asked thinking about what it might be.

"Well, I .. uhmm.. the thing going on between you two.." she hesitated.

" You want to ask me how I feel about her.." I muttered in one breath and heard Diya's sigh from the other side.

"Well.. Samrat, I know you since kindergarden. And I know how you are in such stuff. But I know Gunjan also, she's my best friend.. she's .. she's different and …I think you should.." She paused abruptly, as if unable to voice her thoughts. I think you should stay away from her'.. She wanted to say that but couldnt. I knew exactly what she wanted to say because Diya and I were friends for almost 16 years. And it hurts when your oldest friends say that, but I couldn't blame her entirely for this, because I was a known flirt, in high school years as well as college. I was popular as a handsome, wealthy Basketball player, who could get anything he wants, or anyone he wants. Girls were all around me since my high school years, and still I didn't really care for any of them. Because mostly they were pretending to be someone else, just to please me. And I really didn't like people who ran behind me. I had broken a few hearts back then. But Gunjan was different. We had some kind of spark, I had sensed that since our first dance together, and I had this feeling that she was attracted to me. But for some reason she fought the attraction so hard, that it used to make her more adorable, more irresistible. I could bet on the fact that the attraction was mutual, but Diya thought it's wrong. Why?

"So you are concerned about whether I'll eat your best friend alive? Hell, Candy! Even we are best friends, you know I won't do anything wrong!" I said slightly irritated, "And besides, you are the one who wanted to set me up with your best friend."

"Not with Gunjan!" She almost shrieked. I was puzzled. Gunjan or Nupur, What difference it makes to Diya? She might have sensed my thoughts as she continued, " Nupur is different that Gunjan. She's outgoing, chilled out. Listen Sammy, I know I might sound like a hypocrite but .. Gunjan is very sensitive, very innocent. She can get hurt easily.." Diya said with uncertainty.

"You mean I can hurt her easily?" I asked with disdain. She started to protest but I continued, "I know you well too, Candy. I know what you want to say. And even if I'm famous as a flirt or whatever, I am not that bad." I was furious. Why people thought that I was not capable of loving, caring? I could also care for someone, and though I didn't know at that point what love was, I certainly cared for this girl.

"Sammy, I'm not saying you are bad. I have never interfered with your matters. But.. I .. I'm just looking out for Gunjan. I hope you understand.."She said apologetically.

"I understand. But you also need to understand that I have no intentions to break her heart, Candy. Trust me, I won't do anything wrong by her side." I said resolutely. The line was dead silent for a while, so silent that I wondered whether the call was disconnected. But then I heard her sigh.

"Okay. Just be careful, Sammy..Good night" She said in a low voice.

"I will.. good night." I said and she hung up the call.

She certainly didn't understand what I felt then. How could she understand, when I myself was not able to understand it? I was wide awake now, and couldn't help but dwell in the dream I saw. Holding her hands felt so good. So right! Maybe it was too early to say that, but I was falling for her, with all my heart. And I made a promise to myself, I would never give up on her, I would never break her heart.
