Part 5

Alter our movie date, we started to spend even more time together. During lunch break, we would sit on the college lawns and eat home-cooked food from her house. She brought an elaborate Marwari thali in a three-tiered tiffin box.

How's the food in the rez?' she said.

Not as good as the Handa Cafe,' I said.

We sat facing the red-brick college building. The winter sun warmed us as well as her cold tiffin box. I ate three of her four chapatis, and most of the paalak-daal along with it. She never touched the sweet churma. I ate it with a plastic spoon.

How's your room?' she said.

Like any other rez room. Basic. Books, Basketballs and bed linen.'

Do you keep it clean?'

I shook my head and grinned.

What? You don't clean it regularly?'

Once a week.'

Awful.'

I don't have six servants like you do, Miss Geet.'

I want to see your room.'

You can't,' I said.Girls are not allowed.'

I know. Just kidding,' she laughed.

Hows your family?' I said.

Same. My brothers, male cousins and uncles are busy planning how to increase their wealth. The women are gushing over their last shopping trip or figuring out which marriage to attend next.'

Good, everything is normal then,' I said.

I bought a guitar,' she said.

Nice.'

Yeah, I barely talk to anyone at home. Me and my guitar, we're happy.'

You talk to me,' I said.

Even though you eat all my lunch,' she said and smacked the side of my head.

Do you like me?' I said. She had heard this too many times.

Not again, Maan, please.'

She lay down on the grass. She wore a white-and-maroon salwar-kameez and a black kasmir cardigan, which she had removed and placed on the grass next to her.

She scrunched her eyes to avoid the sun. I shifted and sat in front of her, so my shadow would cover her face.

Ah, that's nice.Tall shady tree, thank you.'

People in college talk about us. How we are always together,' I said.

So? Let them. As long as we know there is nothing between us.'

I tilted my body sideways in protest. The sun was back on her face.

What?'she said and cohered her eyes with her hand.Where did my tree go?'

The tree is not feeling appreciated.'

'What do you mean?'

Why is there nothing between us?' I said, my upper body still bent to the side.

Should there be? First, can you sit like you were sitting before, so people don't think you are weird and my delicate skin can be protected from the sun?'

I sat up straight once again.

Better,' she said. I need a pillow. Move forward please, tree.'

She put her head in my lap.

Nice. Now, what do you want, pillow-tree?'

I'd had many such arguments with her over the past month. She had become an expert at dodging the issue, always getting away with some nonsense, like now.

Give me your cardigan,' I said.

Why? Are you cold? It's a girl's sweater, pillow-tree,' she said and giggled.

I placed the sweater over my head. It hid my face.

What?' she said.

I said nothing.

Are you sulking, my tall tree?' she said.

I didn't respond. She pulled the sweater towards her so that both our faces came under it.

'Yes? Sulky man, what's the issue?' she said, her face upside-down and huge, given that it was so close to mine.

I did not respond. She blew on my face but I did not react.

'Everyone here must be finding this so creepy,' she said,our faces under the sweater.'

'Nobody cares,' I said.

'I thought you said everyone talks about us.'

I let out a grunt of protest. She laughed. I took aim and bent. In a second I managed to place my lips on hers, despite her face being upside-down. Spiderman kisses like that. It isn't easy. I wouldn't advise it if you're kissing someone for the first time.

She sprang up. As she rose, her forehead hit my chin. I bit my tongue.

'Hey,' she said, not fair.'

I held my mouth in pain. Her forehead had hurt me badly. Still, the pain paled in comparison to the joy I felt from landing my first kiss.

Are you hurt?' she said.

I made a face.

'Listen, I'm sorry. But what was that?' she said.

'A kiss.'

'I know. What for?'

'I felt like it.'

She stood up, collected her tiffin box and walked away. I ran behind her. She ignored me and walked faster.

I held her arm. She stopped and glared at me until I let go. She started to walk away again.

'I am sorry, okay?' I said and blocked her way.I thought you like me.

Maan, please understand, I'm not comfortable with all this,'

I really like you, Geet. You mean so much to me. You are the reason I've survived in this place.'

So appreciate what we have. Don't spoil it.'

What do we have? What am I to you?'

'If we kiss, we have something; if we don't, then nothing?' she said.

I kept quiet.

She looked at me for a few seconds. She shook her head in disappointment, turned and walked off. I saw her reach the main gate and get inside her blue car,

Only then did I realise I still held her cardigan in my hand.

*

I didn't know if she would come to play basketball with me after the cardigan incident. To my surprise, she did, all svelte in a new Nike top and white shorts. We played without much conversation. Usually, we would stop to chat every five minutes. Today, she focused on the ball like a soldier does in combat with an enemy/.

'I am sorry, okay?' I said, Playing with her wasn't as much fun as before.

It's fine,' she said,Let's not talk about it again,' I put on a sorry face for the next twenty minutes. Finally, I held my ears and stood in the centre of the court.

It did the trick. She smiled.

'Sorry, I also overreacted,' she said,

'Friends?' she said.

Ban this word, I tell you. Yes, friends,' I said.

She came forward to hug me. I gently pushed her away,

What are you doing?' she said.

'I'm not comfortable with this. Please don't spoil what we have,' I said, mocking her high-strung tone. I stomped my feet and walked off the court. She followed me.

Ignore girls and they can't leave you alone. Strange. I didn't look at her.

She spoke from behind me.

'Okay, I get it. I'm a girl. I'm allowed some drama sometimes.'

Really?'

Well, I said sorry, too.'

Whatever. By the way, your cardigan is still with me at the residence.'

'Oh, please get it to college tomorrow. It's my favourite.'

'You want to come pick it up? You wanted to see my room, right?' I said

She raised an eyebrow.

'Really? But how?'

There's a system, it involves me making the guards happy while you rush Inside,'

'You'll sneak me in?' she said, her eyes opening wide. 'You won't be the first girl to some to the residences,'

We walked towards the briek-lined path to Rudra-North. She stopped a few steps before I reached Rudra.

'What if we get caught?' she said.

'I'll be expelled, but they'll spare you. You're a girl and your father will have enough contacts,'

'So?'

'Let's do it,' I said.

l went up to the guard. I followed the code; told him to check out a problem in the bathroom, and slipped him fifty rupees. He had done it for others before so he quiekly understood. He saw Geet in the distance.

Is she from outside or a student?' the guard said.

What do you care?' I said.

'Just in ease there's any trouble later.'

'Will there be trouble?'

'No, Make sure she leaves in thirty minutes. No guarantee with the new guard.'
