Busier with other things, Reyaan left Rudra and Saumya to their own devices. They inevitably slipped into old habits, Rudra faster than Saumya. Without Romi around to temper him, Saumya feared she was too bad an influence on him. He was in a real fight within a few weeks of the start of the semester. Saumya never got around to hearing what provoked the fight, nor was she around to see it. She had been closed up in the radio station working on her show when the fight broke out in the boys' locker room. Rumors spread like wildfire though and by the time Rudra joined them at their cafeteria sporting a shiner and split lip, people had heard he had Kung fu'd his way through twelve guys, and Romi had collected three separate accounts that said Reyaan was in the hospital, and Saumya wasn't sure who threw the first punch. Rudra evaded their questions and kept his head down in a move eerily familiar to the way Saumya acted after receiving no replies to her wisecracks.
"You're lucky you didn't get caught, or killed, or expelled," Romi
said in between glances toward her boyfriend's table across the cafeteria. With
the lunch hour half over, it was almost time for her to head over there. She
tried to split her time evenly, but the boy always seemed to come out with a
little more of her.
"It's nothing," Rudra insisted, digging his fork into his plate.
"It won't happen again."
Rudra making light of the situation, like it wasn't a big deal, doubled with
the fact that Saumya's first thought after seeing him was that he could do with
looking a little less perfect, made it obvious that she couldn't let this
happen.
When Rudra walked with her to class after lunch; Romi was with her boyfriend her
next class was on the other side of the building, so it was just the two of
them together everyday and he bumped his side against hers. She was still the same she had always been and the slight nudge almost sent her sprawling. She
would have gone over if his quick reflexes hasn't reached out and caught her by
her elbow, pulling her back in close to his side. He didn't apologize, just
matched her stride and kept going.
"You were quiet at lunch," Rudra said. His tongue poked out to probe
his split lip and Saumya wanted to pinch herself for letting her eyes fall to
watch it. "Is it because you agree with them? You gonna tell me I
shouldn't be fighting?"
Saumya stopped short of her classroom and Rudra pulled up to face her. She
squinted her eyes as she looked up at him. It was hard to meet his eyes; he
shone so brilliantly that it was almost like trying to stare at the sun. She
was almost blinded by him. Even with his battle wounds, there was no stopping
the inherent gorgeous quality of his features from shining through. Before she
could stop herself, she reached up and brushed her thumb over the bruise
forming under his eye. Maybe she imagined it, but he seemed to lean into her
touch. She snapped her hand back to her side before she could find out for
sure.
"You shouldn't be fighting," Saumya said each word carefully, because
if she didn't, her tongue might spit different ones out.
"You know what it's like, Saumya," Rudra licked his lip again, but Saumya
was not looking at his lips. "If you had heard what he said"
"It doesn't matter what Reyaan said about your brothers." Saumya
replied.
"Who said anything about my brothers?" Rudra's eyebrows knit
together.
"The fight wasn't about your brothers?" Saumya matched his frown.
"Isn't it always about your brothers?"
Rudra shook his head slowly. "You've always wanted us to stick up for you.
I've kept up my end of the bargain. You'd do the same for me, wouldn't you,
Sumo?"
"You know I would, Protein Shake," Saumya fought off the hint of
smile that threatened to appear as she realized this was about HER. She
couldn't encourage him. She took a step back and turned her eyes to the floor.
"But the others are right. You have a future to worry about. You can't be
doing things like this. Why don't you leave the rabble rousing to nobodies like
me who ain't got nowhere better to go."
Before Rudra could see through her, Saumya pivoted around and went straight
into her classroom.
"You aren't a nobody, Sumo, that's the point," Rudra called after
her.
Saumya pretended not to hear him, because she had no other choice. The Romi effect
on him might have been fading, but there were still traces of it. Even if Rudra
was throwing his first real punches in months for her, Saumya couldn't paint
herself over him. It would end up ruining them both.
This was not their beginning, because she couldn't let it be.
