People say "A girl might be unsure about the person who hates her but she could easily recognize the person who loves her". Is it true? I don't know? Cause I never thought about love. I have a good reason for not getting tied down in love at this moment. It is my perfect dreamy freedom. With this I can enjoy varieties of life in whatever way I choose. It would be the lifestyle that suits me better.

It was the Saturday afternoon, I arrived hostel from the spa. As soon as I entered into the hostel room, I heard my friend Aasna's cry. I didn't bother to hear it keenly whether it was her cry or something else. I didn't need to. I could tell it from the way she sat down on the floor. It was all same old stuff for me. Whenever her boyfriend breaks up with her, she cries like that only. She is such a shame to 'the happy Manvi'. Ohh.. That 'happy manvi' is me of course...
I slowly reached her and settled down beside her for the usual line of questioning. I stared at her silently for a long time, and then she finally sensed and looked up to me. I noticed that her eyes were so swollen that she could hardly see me. I used some of the comfort words to her but still I hadn't found the answer for her crying. After some time she started speaking.
"Manvi... He rejected me" she said shortly, leaving the questions who and why for me to find out. But I wasn't in a mood to play all Sherlock Holmes. So I had decided to listen to her rather than breaking my head with unnecessary questions. That's what I do most of the time. Listening to her failed love stories...
"Do you love him?" I asked her without expecting a proper answer for that. She never loved anyone. It is a trend to have a boyfriend and she follows the trend. That's all.
"Of course not. He is handsome and popular. So I wanted to date him" she replied as expected. It doesn't matter whether his character is good or not. All that matters is he is popular or not... Ghor kalyug!!!
All of a sudden she resumed her crying session making me surprised with her unreasonable behavior. I shook my head with frustration and was about to get up from the floor, she caught my hand making me stop in my attempts to find peace.
"What?" I asked her in a low voice. I actually wanted to shout. But seeing her cry I couldn't bring myself to do it.
"Help me na" she said in a voice as if her life depended on it.
"Help you for what?" I asked her. Her half completed sentences started to irritate me.
"I will ask him once again to date me. So please come with me" she admitted which left me in shock. Her unreasonable cry is the most absurd thing in the first place. On top of that she wanted me to accompany her in her journey of absurdity. Don't get surprised with her behavior. She has always been a funny character in a teen drama.
"Not my scene huh!!" I warned her as I again tried to get up from the floor. But she increased the volume and cried so loudly to manipulate me. I closed my eyes briefly and sighed loudly with frustration.
"Fine... Don't go all melodramatic" I agreed to her request. In other words I agreed to make a fool of myself in front of her 'handsome and popular' guy. No matter how fool your friend is, you have to put up with her as long as it makes her happy. That's what friends for!! I knew that she is absurd and abnormal but at the end of the day she is my friend. So I had decided to do whatever she wants for the sake of her happiness and for my peace also.

"What are we doing here?" I asked her looking at the direction of 'Central Library' as we finally halted our steps after a long 32 mins journey.
"He visits this place every evening" she answered without looking in my direction as she started scanning the entire place with her laser eyes. I scarcely remember that a few days back she told me that the guy she wants to date reads a lot. See... He is a bookholic and in my life books plays a cameo. Perfectly opposite to each other. I laughed at my thought inwardly.
Some time passed in waiting. After that she pointed her figure to a person and squealed "There he is". For a second I looked at her. She looked vivacious and excited to see him. Then I finally moved my eyes in his direction. I widened my eyes as I looked up to him because I knew him. He was from my campus.
But I never had seen him so close. Cause he was in a different group. In fact this was the first time that I had ever seen him closely. Everyone in the college says that he is smart and intelligent. But girls described him differently. I heard them praising him like; his smile to you means an enchantment, his attention to you means overwhelming and his love to you means... Whatever.. I don't remember any more. I didn't understand even one word of their comments about him. Because I had no experience with it at all. All I know is, he is a very romantic figure of our campus. With that hype and all he seemed just out of reach. So I never bothered myself to care about him. I strongly believe that dull rocks are better than shining stars. Cause no matter how hard you try you can't get a hold of starts but rocks are always within your reach.
As soon as his eyes fell on me, his lips curved into a smile. I had taken a back with his unexpected smile and quickly pulled my eyes away from him.
"Virat... Can't we just date?" she asked him bluntly which made my jaw drop with embarrassment.
"Sorry" he said in a tone trying to show his sincerity.
"You don't have to love me. Just date me" Aasna asked him. Could she get more straight forward? Foolish girl..
"But I m already in love with someone else" he said in a mild and a low voice as if he was suffering with unrequited love. I for a second got confused whether to feel angry or curious. If he is making an excuse to reject my friend then I have to get angry. But if he really has a girl then I wanted to know that girl who is ready to take all the envious glares of the world. Because everyone treats him like a prince charming. May be he is..
"Who?" I asked him, showing my practically lost temper. He instantly turned towards me and I was so focused on him to know the answer. After a long silence, he said..
"You" as his words reached my mind, I held my breath and my curious expression turned into confusion. I dread to think what was going on there. For a minute I could barely feel my feet, like I was in a partial state of mind. He said he was in love with me, something that I had never really thought about before. I must have misheard him surely. Hai na... If it was real then... Wasn't it too much for me to handle?
There was a brief silence at the other end.
"Manvi!!" I heard Aasna's voice which made me turn my attention to her. Then I remembered. We actually were discussing about Virat and Aasna.
"Aasna.. He was kidding. Hai na!!" I said bravely, praying my friend wouldn't be too angry.
"I m not" he said confidently which made me momentarily speechless. I seemed to have no more answers to convince her, so I looked at her blankly. But she ignored all my attempts and marched out of the library. I quickly turned around to follow her but he caught my hand which made turn around to face him again.
"Leave my hand" I said angrily.
"I can't" he replied as if it wasn't in his control to do it.
"Find a better excuse if you are making one to reject her" I suggested. He proposed me out of no where. Does that make sense?
"What made you think like that?" he asked me as he smiled broadly with my previous comment.
"Your impulsiveness" I clarified. Hadn't he heard 'Think before you act' saying?
"Impulsive!!" he repeated it after me.
"You are saying things which could cause a misunderstanding between friends" I reminded him. It was really a misunderstanding. How could I face my friend after this incident? I felt like I was watching a scene from 'Friends turned into enemies' drama.
"But I was serious" he said as he came close to me and looked at me like he was trying to read something on my face. All he does is fooling around. Cheesy guy!!
"You broke her heart. I hate you now" I said and tried to release my hand from his grip. But he was too strong for me to fight.
"The 'me' that you hate is the one that loves you" he said in a kind of thrilling voice that can make a girl mesmerize.
"Leave me otherwise I will curse you" I threatened him. But wasn't it too childish to use curse and all? May be all this high drama session made me tired. So I couldn't think any better answer.
"Doesn't matter cause I m already under your spell" he said in a musical voice which made me look at him. For an instance, I forgot everything and stared at him. He is really handsome and he has such an expressive eyes.
"Ahhh... I m so handsome na" he commented proudly. I quickly turned my eyes away from him, embarrassed by his comment.
"How come I can't see it?" I tried to cover up but seemed like he sensed my embarrassment. He tightened his grip on my hand and opened his mouth to say something. But his strong grip made me hiss in pain... He left my hand as soon as he heard me and I took that chance and ran away from there. I don't think that he was really in love with me but If it was true, then...
I only know that unexpected love is really dangerous and it can change your perfect world into a mess.
