He was annoyed to see her walk past him, towards the man he loathed for no reason. His fists clenched as he stood along the hallway, witnessing her embracing the man he had already killed a thousand times in his mind. This was getting too far, he said to himself, shutting his eyes to switch off the world around him. But to his dismay, he could still see her with closed eyes, her beautiful orbs, her infectious smile, her silky hair, her luscious lips... That was enough! Stop it, his mind screamed.
Involuntarily, his legs moved to where his mortal enemy and the girl playing havoc with his senses, stood, engrossed in each other. His heart burned with jealousy as she didn't even notice him standing beside her.
Since when did she start affecting him so much? Since when did seeing her with another man became so arduous?
"Sanyukta", he heard his voice.
He was enraged as well as disappointed as she failed to notice yet again.
What was wrong with him? Why was he even here? He was supposed to be in the lab completing his pending project, not standing here with nothing to say, just staring at this crazy girl in front of him who didn't even pay any heed to him anymore since the day her new friends came to this college.
"SANYUKTA", he tried again, his voice louder this time.
She turned to look at him.
"What?"
"Umm...umm.. Aa.. Actually. I .. umm", he stuttered.
"WHAT?"
How could he tell her he forgot what he wanted to say? Or rather had nothing to say? How could he tell her he just wanted her attention, wanted to listen to his name from his lips, wanted to ...
"Hello? Randhir?", she asked, bringing him back to the reality.
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?", she asked, her voice concerned.
"No", he quickly replied, turning around, walking towards the exit leaving her flabbergasted behind him.
He was definitely not okay. He was allergic to this whole spectrum of human emotions. These feelings were alien to him. Why was he vying for her attention? Why did it pain so much to see her with another man? There were a million questions running through his mind but none got answered. As he neared the door, he shot a quick glance at her. To his surprise, she was smiling at him, her smile disclosing the fact that his inner turmoil was evident on his face. Damn. That was the last thing he wanted. He left the place immediately, his cheeks flushing.
