Chapter 3 ~ Marry Me?!...Umm... Or Girlfriend?!
Its been a week since they met, the last meeting was special yet sad for jeevika.She was confused after that ,though after they went to their romms after saying good byes to each other,they still talked like everytime.And it went like that these days too,the days passed they talked like they use to but never met and if both would see eachother at college campus ,they just wave their hands to eachother and mostly after that Viren use to make an excuse that he has lots of work to do and he should leave and they will talk at night like usual,jeevika didn't said anything to him but she was getting hurt by this behaviour ,she feld avoided by him.But alas she was in love with this person and what ever happens she didn't said anything to him.
It was 13th feb means Valentine the next day,Jeevika was laying on bed staring at the ceiling on her thoughts ,today Viren didn't talk to her more then 2 hours,though they talked till tomorrow till early moring or late night,but today when she hoped that may be Viren will say something as its Valentine from midnight he ended their their chat two hours ago and not even called once today ,she tried calling but it went on voice mail and sadly she didn't tried afterwards.She was fighting with her emotions & thoughts when Anki jumped up on her bed making her started to wake up.She jumped up and sat on her bed facing Anki who was grinning like an idiot.She covered her with her hands knowing something was up with this girl,she use to grin like this only when some naughty thoughts crossed her mind."Why the hell are you smiling like someone has proposed you right now?"Jeevika said ,"ahh!only if someone would!Well I came to take you Pratiksha's room"Anki said grinning again."Why?Why you want me to go there?You know how she is!"Jeevika said irritated ,Pratiksha was college's famous person who had three boyfriends at single time,she was very rich and had all habits of smoking ,drinking.She was most popular for her one night stay with boys.And Jeevika hated her the most,she was in same hostel and just a floor up from her.What made Jeevika more irritated was she was in Viren's class and tried to seduce Viren a couple of time."Jeevika where have you lost,Lets go!!"Anki said and pushed her out of bed."Whats up with you?Can you please tell me?"Jeevika said ordering and staying there not moving ,"Well I know you will get irritated but you know what from her room lot of voices are coming outside,and emm... lots of screaming of some names..you know what I mean?"She said winking to her while Jeevika gave her a disgust faced,she knew now what was happening upstairs in their hostel,she wanted to kill that girl right away,never in her wildest dream jeevika thought that girl will be doing these things their in hostel bed with someone,it was too much security these days in hostel thought jeevika but still someone manged to go to her room,may be he is also a part of security team hought jeevika.she took her blanket again and pulled over her while Anki tried to take it from her."I don't want to go and see whats happening or want to hear any voice,do you guys want to go there and want to knock to the door asking whats happeneing?" Jeevika said in disgusted voice while Anki said nothing to her,she knew how she hated her so tried to divert the topic and was successfull."Well we all single girls are going to cafe tomorrow and don't say anything that you wont come and blah blah blah... bcoz you are coming with us too" Anki said now laying on her bed facing jeevika."Ahh... I wont say i wont be coming I will come off course.So who else are coming?And which cafe" Jeevika asked getting curious bcoz she knew most of all girls were going on a date with their boyfriends and only few must be single. "well me ,you and 4 more girls from our class rest all have their dates so they aren't coming and yeah we are going to brown door cafe ,our favourite "anki said ,"well then its fine now lets sleep ,i don't know how and why I am too sleepy today though it never happened recently" Jeevika said yawning and turning lights off. "Ahh.. i wonder why it never happened,why Viren & you aren't talking today like usual?" "don't ask me! He said he has few things to research and he is hell tired today so he will sleep early" "ohh..okay may be he is,whatever Jeevs sleep now good night.And Happy Valentines,see its midnight and we can only wish each other this"Anki said laughing and both drifted off to sleep.
Next morning, Viren was up so early which was something new,he never woke up before 09 but today he was up at 05 am he was nervous ,excited and had many emotions running through his body.what if something gets wrong?what if it doesn't go as he planned?after fighting with numerous thoughts he went to take shower to his day not knowing what will happen next.
Here in girls hostel, view was much different ,it was 05 am and most of the girls were already up & getting ready for the day as it was valentine day,though nothing special was there today but for them valentine means "everything,"they were excited to go on their dates ,like every college student.But jeevika was peacefully sleeping with her roommate not wanting to wake up,it was common day like the other days.She woke up around 10 am and woke his best friend up.They both got freshed had breakfast and started getting ready for going out.Jeevika checked her phone to see if there is any message from Viren but it wasn't so she messaged him "good morning J" ,he replied instantly to her saying "good morning to you too" there chat went on for some time till Anki said "Jeevs you better start getting ready we are leaving in half an hour" "I know Anki relax ,its just us going and no one else it will take me only 10 minutes to get ready"jeevika said still chatting on her phone with viren."no,i wont you to get ready now and who are you chatting with right now?""Its viren!We didn't talk last night so making up right now", "ohh.. yeah?Then say to him you are going to lunch date with girls and not to disturb you,you are getting ready"Anki said taking her phone from his hand."Shut up Anki! Give me my phone thats not done okay?I will get ready" ,"No,you wont i know you,now get ready i am switching off the phone","no you wont dare!fine i m going but at least say me bye to him", "well I said him bye now shooo... go"Anki said pushing her to her closet. After 15 minutes both were ready with their friends to leave.They reached the cafe where the theme was red and white , jeevika was wearing a beautiful orange knee length frock ,her hair freely hanging with little curls at the end.They sat around the chairs allotted which they had reserved yesterday. "Its so beautiful here"Aashi exclaimed while taking a view of her surrounding. ""Yes it is , but its for a romantic couple not like we single" Anki said while winking towards the couple who were sitting in front of them. "I know,well lets order our food"Jeevika said distracting from this topic ,it was all she was heard people talking about romance,love etc.Soon waiter came and they all ordered their lunch which was today's special Valentine starters and meal' . "Woah! Valentine starters and meal,thats amazing isn't it jeevs?"Anki said excitedly."I know" Said Jeevika.They waited about 5 mintues,when one waiter came and served there starter,he started serving in all 4 plates ,the last one was jeevika ,he placed her starter with smiliey made up from the red tomato sauce and placed a Red Rose beside her Plate.Everyone stared smiling,while Jeevika was confused. She was about to ask when waiter spoke up to her "Its for the special person from the special person whom you love & adore,hope you like everything mam.Enjoy your Day!" She got numb by this,who special person'was? Everyone stared at Jeevika while she was blushing ,smiling & confused at the same time.She nodded to him and mouthed "thank you" to the waiter."Jeevs who is the special one?"Anki said teasing her,"Yeah Jeevika tell us na? To Special person From Special one!! " Aashi said "How Romactic! Tell her jeevs who is he?" Divya said. "I don't know guys lets see who it is after we have our lunch?"Jeevika said trying to think who can do this,every time she would think only one man came in her mind and that was Viren!Secretly she wished it was him,but she knew it was not possible because today morning he told her he was going to his friend's house as his friend were getting engaged. She diverted herself with food,when another waiter came to serve their main course. It was another this which startled her,her rice was bowled in a heart shape and every other meal were served with a tissue having smileys.She unknowingly smiled and adored the effort put up in these,she smiled and said thank you again and tried to enquire about who is sending these.But what she got was only "You will know when the time comes mam.Uptill then enjoy the food please!" She thought again about Viren but sighed and waited till that time come.
After 15 mintues there food finished and Anki ordered some deserts for everyone,while jeevika sat still wondering who it can be. They waited for their deserts to arrive when they all heard a love tune,musical melody starting.Soon a waiter came with a heart shaped red cake and put it in middle of the table.Everyone saw the beautiful cake with "Thank You for coming in my Life Jeevika" written with white cream on it.Now Jeevika had no doubt it who it was,it was Viren ,only he can do these things for her.She didn't knew anyone else who can do these things for her.She felt blessed.In no mean the lights got dim and red ballons showered from no where on Jeevika's table making Jeevika's friends all excited and Jeevika blushing holding Anki's hand. Suddenly a voice was heard which was getting louder with each passing second getting closer to their place and infront of jeevika,who was in tears seeing who the man was he was singing her favourite song he stood infront of her and started saying... "Its not been much time we have met still it feels like I have known you for years, I never thought I would fall in Love with someone,but you made me fall from the day we met.The way you talk,the way you make me feel is just what I cant explain.You always said I m special to you, i have seen you cry ,laugh. And belive me there is no one adorable like you, i have never seen one. You know how much I care for my family,my mother & brother.And I want to care the same way for you Jeevika.You have taken my heart. I Love You."He said giving her giving a red ballon which she accepted blushing ,smiling and not saying anything.She was numb,she cant help the happy tears which was flowing continusly from her beautiful eyes.She didn't said anything but got in his man's arm who hugged too tightly ,she didn't answered him but he knew what it was.He got the courage and made her face him by holding her chin.He slowly moved forward and kissed her lightly on her lips,the first time their lips met and mere a second but that also spoke thousand words.Their heads touched eachother smiling while everyone else hooted and clapped bringing them to their surrounding.He took her hand and kissed her knuckles while she blushed again ,both took the knife and cut the cake feeding eachother when anki interrupted their moment "Well viren , thank you for making my best friend smiling and blushing so much today,and i hope i have done my work nicely"she said winking to viren while he smiled and jeevika had questioning face towards anki,who gave her i-knew-all-this-look and continued "well for now as you have confessed so nicely to her and even cut the cake,i want to know Jeevika's answer too though I know it but still want to know if she loves you or not"As she said that Jeevika's eyes got widen upon this and she blushed.She started cheering for her "Jeevika...Jeevika..." and everyone too joined her while Jeevika blushed ,standing close to Viren hiding her face on his chest.He held her close while she faced him and there eyes met when she mouthed "I Love You" smiling still not breaking an eye contact with him while everyone else cheered and applauded. He held her again and hugged her too tightly.He kissed her forehead and took her hand placing a small box on her palm.she gave him a questioning look and he said to open it.She opened and found a bracelet with little stars on it.Viren took it from her as she was admiring it,He said "I love you jeevika,to the moon and back.Just like how we cant count star I cant tell how much I love you.You are my star,my Love.I wont say now to Marry me?I know you want a proposal like this,and i will propose you the way you want,i will really do .Your Dreams will be fullfiled by me now. But now i will rather say now..will you be My Girlfriend?" He said looking at her eyes and she nodded giving her hand to him and he gently placed her bracelet on her wrist."Can I have the pleasure to be with the most beautiful girl i have known in this earth the entire evening?" "Yes!" She said smiling to him.And they said their goodbyes to all her friends and left from their to spend their evening together with their hands still entwined together.
