Small talks
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day Kevin introduced me to his friends and few other classmates.
He started sitting in the middle row.
He even introduced me to his friend , Armaan.
While he was introducing me to Armaan, a girl joined us singing softly to herself.
"Hi" I said.
"Heeeelllllloooooooo" she said
She was the same skinny girl with curly hairs. She walked away singing to herself. "Who is she?" I asked.
" Carol" he said .
Armaan was tall, shy guy. He didn't talk much.
"Hey, did you listened to the songs I shared with you last night?" Kevin in excited tone.
No, I didn't.
"Yes of course" with a fake smile.
"Yes?!" Raising his eyebrows "which one did you liked the most?"
"2nd one" I lied.
"Are you sure?. What was the name of the song?" He definitely caught me lying.
" I don't remember that" I looked away.
"You didn't listened, did you?!" He sighed.
"Of course I did"
" Tell me anything. Songs were in Hindi or English? Who was the singer? Anything?."
"First of all you can't interrogate me like that. English songs" I guessed and he nodded happily
"ummm.... A girl was singing. High notes"
Armaan burst into the laughter pointing at Kevin. Kevin looked down.
"What?!" I asked Armaan.
"I sang those songs. I am that girl with high notes" he whispered. Armaan still laughing.
Should I tell him that I never listened those songs? No. what’s fun in that. I looked at him and started laughing.
The next few days we talked in the corridor walking towards the lab or towards the other class. The conversations were casually limited to the studies and campus.
I was on the call with my aunt when I heard a voice.
Pisssttt
I looked around.
Pissttt pissttt
I saw Kevin with Armaan on the last bench waving at me. I was standing outside the Lr.19 as the lunch break was about to end. I walked to the last bench and joined them
"We are bunking. Do you wanna join?" He whispered.
"We? Who is bunking with you?" I asked.
"You me and Armaan"
I looked at the Armaan who sat there bored.
"No 75% attendance. You told me not to bunk and made me attend the lecture yesterday. I again ditched Rosh." I said.
" Yeahhhhh. Bunking is allowed with only classmates here" He said playfully.
" What are we going to do? Where will we go?"- I asked.
"Home" – Armaan
"Ohhh shut up. We can watch movie or something else. We will have fun"- said Kevin standing up.
I just met these guys, I can't bunk with them so soon I thought. I looked at them. No they won't kidnap me. Seems good guys.
" Lets go now" said Kevin and we walked out of the class.
After discussing for about half an hour in the parking lot , whether to go watch horror movie or go to a cafe or head home, we got tired and decided to crash subway.
We chit chat casually after grabbing our order from the counter.
"Kavya, do you remember Raaj?" Kevin asked while eating.
"Who?"
"The guy i told you about while having that shit tea together" he slightly cringed remembering the taste of tea
"Yesss. You didn't introduced me with him yet!" I said
"Well, yes. He is avoiding us."
" Us? Specifics Kevin specifics and why?
" I don't know" said Kevin and Armaan coughed taunting him.
"What am I missing here?" I asked
They looked at each other.
"May be because of you. Its not exactly because of you, but may be. I don't know" he uttered I raised my eyebrows
"Kevin didn't introduced you both on time. And hide few things from him" Armaan said -" he spends more time with you"
"Well, this can't be it. We talk for few minutes in corridor and after the lab. How can this guy stop talking to you because of the girl he barely knows?" I argued.
"Why don't you just ask to join us? Now?" I suggested.
"You call him" both in unison.
I called Raaj. He was in his hostel as the lectures got cancelled after the lunch break. I asked him to join us. He couldn't as he was busy with his research. But he surely sensed who asked me to call him and assured me that I was not the cause of this problem.
Both Armaan and Kevin still sticking their ears to the phone trying to overhear the conversation.
"Seems like i am not the problem" i said.
"Yeah"- in unison while Armaan looking at Kevin, the real trouble maker.
We chatted for a while, I told them about my classes and my friends. Armaan rarely took part in conversation. But Kevin was really interested.
I clicked few of their pics before leaving.

At this point, Kevin and I started sharing a same table in lab, me with Kevin, Armaan and Raaj. And during lectures Kevin and I shared same bench, shared lunch and spend most of the time together. Few of the mates started talking but most of the class didn't mind anyway, making it up to the last year this college had already sucked everything from the students, the whole class wished that this year passes by as soon as possible.

In just one week, Kevin updated me with everything, how he met Armaan, Armaan was into photography and editing stuff and Kevin joined him in first year.

His hobby changed into passion.He calls himself cinematographer now.It was the part of my schedule to reach college, listen to Kevin's stuff, chirpy boy he was. Everyday he would tell me about his ex, how they spent a night under the sky, and same old same old.

The classes ended at 9 pm, my stomach made a dying whale sound. I was starving, haven't ate anything from the morning, hectic day in college, had to submit an assignment today and two module tests. I walked towards the home after buying a pack of chips on the way.I saw a cab outside my home. I walked inside and saw few suit cases in our balcony."Aaarrgghh, I am not in mood to deal with relatives now" I murmured to myself.I walked in the living room and saw my family on the sofa."Why are you late?" Asked my brother coldly.My brother and I have a strong bond. He obeys me. And this was an indication from him."Few parents came by.....""Your mumma is leaving, she needs a break, she is tired" said papa"What? Why? What happened?

Rush home after the college, then tuitions and dinner, sometimes we ordered, or I cook. My cousins come over for a night every weekend with a lots of food, my aunt made sure we were good.Every night I just lay on the bed, my mind shut, body immovable but eyes open. I couldn't sleep. It wasn't like I was depressed but it was something words can't express.Kevin was there, We spent all the time together in college, Carol Armaan and Raaj joined us in starting but eventually drifted apart. Spending time with him felt good. Being with him felt good. I was comfortable with sharing everything with him.In the starting he was shy but now he talks a lot, everyday something about his ex, or cinematography or his home. He chirped whole day.----

I was sitting in an insanely crowded café, not exactly café to be honest, looking at Kevin. He was placing order on the counter."Your chocolate chai, miss." He said placing two kulhads of tea on the table.I smiled at this treatment. I was not used to this before meeting him."So, did you enjoy yesterday?"" Yes" I saw him shifting, preparing himself to listen my non stop talking " I entered and I was so anxious but Rosh......... And then I waved you bye but you didn't saw" finally complete."I saw" he said sipping his second chai."Why did you left early?""Papa called"This was the perfect time to ask him why he is avoiding his group.

I love my life again. I broke up with him two weeks ago. I can't say I don't miss him. He was in front of me for 6 hours a day. He was not regular in the class. After 2 days of my stunt I apologised to him. Now because what i said, but because in what state i said. It would have gone well if i was sober. But you can't expect normal from me now. Do you? He kept staring at me most of the time. It was like he was longing to talk to me but his ego was stopping him. whatever the reason was, he was not acting mature. I thought Armaan and raaj will stop talking to me after our breakup but turned out they supported me. They talked with us both, kevin and me. Raaj tried to convince both me.and him to talk maturely. I agreed but he didn't. He will eventually come around. Kevin was pretty much angry with his friends talking to me. Even carol stopped talking to him and that amused me. I felt bad for him but deep down i knew he deserves this. He left his friends
