Chapter 12
Jodha's brother walked in and Jodha immediately disconnected the call... Whom were you talking to? he questioned, my friend said Jodha lifting up her shoulders... Who? Hema or Moti? He questioned again... No another friend from college she replied... Is that Jalal? he questioned back... Jodha looked at her brother's face, without saying a word... Jodha, did you hear me? Were you talking to Jalal? Jodha nodded to head to yes, did I not tell you he is a flirt? Bhaiya, who cares? Let him be a flirt or a decent guy to me he is just a friend and I know my limits, if you trust your sister then just leave this here replied Jodha... I trust you Jodha he said and turned to walk... who told you about all these? questioned Jodha, forget about that I hope you will live upto my trust he said and walked away.
Next morning
Jodha with her friends reached college, her eyes searched for Jalal the minute she entered the campus, Jalal was sitting near the college canteen and talking to two girls for some reason Jodha didn't like it, she said Hema you and Moti carry on I will talk to Jalal and come, they both walked away with a teasing smile... Jodha walked towards Jalal and Surya came stood in front of the her saying "Hi Jodha", she replied to him with a hi but her eyes didn't move from Jalal, Surya got jealous and angry, controlling his anger he asked had your breakfast? Jodha who kept looking at Jalal saw him going away from there, without replying to Surya's question she ran saying I will see you later. Surya kicked his foot in anger.
Jodha walked near Jalal and cleared her throat, Jalal turned to look who was it? He smiled hare Jodha you? He then looked at the 2 girls with whom he was talking and told them, I shall catch you both later, they said bye to Jalal and walked, he then looked at Jodha before he spoke something she asked, Are they your girlfriends? Yeah they are replied Jalal, expecting Jodha to say something, she said very beautiful they both are, you carry on... Jalal said Jodha, even you are my girlfriend, what? Jodha raised her eyebrows, offcourse you are because you are a girl so you are my girlfriend and it's the same with them. I can't argue with you said Jodha with a smile and Jalal laughed.... How did you find my number? She questioned and Jalal said getting a beautiful girl's no isn't that difficult, I can't win you with words... You know what yesterday my brother got to know I saw talking to you... How? Asked Jalal with little curiosity, I don't know he in fact warned to not to talk to you, why? Asked Jalal with little anger coz he knows you are a flirt... Oh! How does he know that? Questioned Jalal, because he is from our college replied Jodha, really? From which class and which stream asked Jalal again... I mean he was studying here replied Jodha... What's his name? Enquired Jalal, his name is "Das, Chris das" replied Jalal... Oh he? Jalal bursted out, what funny? Asked Jodha with little anger, is he your brother? I can't believe this? The very first day I entered the college he was all set to rag me, instead I ragged him from then we both always ended up with silly fights and yeah for your information it was your brother who came up with those fights, hmmm very difficult murmured Jodha. Fine I have class now, will see you later said Jodha and ran to her class as she was running late, Jalal kept watching her with a smile.
Lunch break
Pratap whispered something into surya's ears, Surya said so this is our planB, let's see how well it works... They both searched for someone through out the college and finally found Rukaiya... Pratap and Surya purposely went and stood in front of Rukaiya... Pratap said hey I think that senior guy Jalal is behind our classmate Jodha, even she seems to be much interested in him, what's new in it, I heard he has and had many girlfriends replied Surya, are you so dum? Can't you make out whether someone is flirting or in love... I challenge you, Jalal is in love with Jodha and Jodha is also in love with him replied Pratap... While they were discussing Rukaiya angrily walked from there... She went in search of Jalal, and she saw him sitting under a tree with Jodha, Rukaiya became even more furious, hey Jodha why the hell are you always with my Jalal? Why kind of a women are you to always be with a man? Rukaiya mind your words, warned Jalal but Jodha throwed an attitude like why should I respond to her, she didn't care much about what Rukaiya spoke, that irritated Rukaiya even more, she pulled Jodha's hand saying just stay away from my Jalal and Jalal screamed on top of his voice Rukaiya, which made everyone around to look at them, that made Jodha fume in anger she replied forget about what kind of a girl I am, tell me what kind of a women are you to lie about your pregnancy? Jodha stood beside Jalal holding his hand she said you don't like anyone being with Jalal right? Then listen I will be with him always it's my promise she took Jalal's hand and promised him, it might be love, friendship anything and that's non of your business, come on Jalal let's go she said holding his hand, Jalal walked with her with a lovely smile on his face.
Once Rukaiya disappeared from their sight, Jodha left Jalal's hand saying now don't imagine I fell for you, don't think I became one of your girlfriend, it was just to irritate Rukaiya... Jalal couldn't stop smiling, Jodha asked did you understand what I said Jalal? Why are you smiling like this? Jalal said nothing, I smiled looking at your anger, now you are her biggest enemy, who cares replied Jodha laughing loud... Jalal I forgot to tell you, we are going on a trip? Said Jodha... What trip? Questioned Jalal... Historical trip, to Delhi and Agra replied Jodha oh yeah that they take all first year students go and come you will enjoy it for sure, so when are you going asked Jalal? Next to next week replied Jodha.
Surya who kept watching this with Pratap couldn't accept the fact that Jodha was getting close to Jalal more and more, Pratap said don't worry, it is not that difficult to put down a flirt in front of any girl, Jalal will not be in the trip and there u show your talent to make her yours. Surya nodded his head grinning his teeth.
