Chapter - 5

Happy reading…… 

Krish placed her luggage in the taxi and told her to sit inside. She turned around feeling extremely sad thinking that he didn’t give his address yet. 

Priya’s pov 

Suddenly I felt someone grabbing my hand, who else it would be of course Krish. My eyes shone in happiness and with a broad smile I turned around. 

“You are really crazy Priya ..”, he whispered, snatching my phone from my hand. He opened my mobile and saved his address in the notepad. I just looked at him with wet eyes ,”I will kill you for sure ..”, I said, wiping the tear which rolled down from my left eye. The right one already he was wiping it with his thumb. 

“I am ready whenever you say ..”, he smirked at me. I was just staring at him like anything. "Come on, at least I can expect a hug from you.", he said twitching his lips up. 

Yeah, fully flirting with me and I liked it. All this was new to me but I enjoyed it in this way. 

I took a step forward and gave him a warm hug  “I will remember this okay.“, I said smiling. His manly scent tickled my nostrils as I breathed him in deeply. Soon I backed off before I could burst myself into tears.

"BYE ..", I said getting in the taxi. I felt a tug on my scarf suddenly and turned around. It was in Krish's hand, I didn’t notice when he took it off my neck. 

I looked up at him confusingly ,"What would you do with it ? Where will you tie it ?", I smiled actually curious to know. 

"At least leave it with me, I will miss you.", he said rolling it over his right hand and his eyes bored into mine. I was thinking to say something then suddenly ,"Madam, can I pull the taxi ?", Driver asked. 

Me and Krish looked at each other as if it was last glance for us. Finally I saw a tear escaping his left eye. It’s rare to see boys crying, it doesn’t mean that they don’t feel emotions. It means, actually they are mentally so strong to stop them right away. But sometimes they also couldn’t. His coffee eyes made my heart smile. I signaled him saying, "I hate tears ..”, I said waving my hand which he replied with a blow kiss. I caught it and waved bye to him. I kept watching him from the door until he disappeared from my sight completely. 

Krish’s’s pov 

I reached my friend's apartment it’s 10pm already. Actually I should take elevator, but I preferred steps instead while thinking about Priya. I rubbed my jaw with my hand which had Priya’s’s scarf wrapped around it.

When she hugged me, I was busy in pulling it slowly off from her neck. I wondered she didn’t even noticed it. Haha I think I mastered in stealing now. I used to take my brother’s credit cards from his pocket during my college days, seemed like it helped me now. It’s sounding so stupid but I like it.

Hmm so soft, it's smelling her perfume. "Ouch!", I stopped hitting the wall on my face. I looked up finding my self at my friend’s apartment door. 

My friend, Vyom opened the door with a grin on his face.

"Haii bro !!!”, I greeted immediately throwing my arms around him and hugged him. He was my college mate, drink mate and bed mate too. But after college, our ways separated into different directions, but destiny again brought our friendship together. 

Vyom,"It’s a been so so long buddy. Now we are going to have real fun bro."

Krish, "Surely. Let me fresh, we have so much to talk about."

Vyom, "Absolutely bro. I just ordered biryani( Delicious chicken rice) until you freshen up. This right room is yours."

*At Priya’s place*

Priya reached her hostel and was told she had her room allocated on the second floor. After finishing the requirements, she entered into her room. She was going to share it with three more girls. 

Priya, "Haii! Myself Priya."

She introduced herself, gaining the three girls attention who were rolling on their respective beds. But only one girl response was good with Priya, she was Anu. She immediately came to her and greeted warmly. The rest two just ignored her intentionally or may be because of her pretty personality as per their scrutinizing gaze on her, Priya assumed.

Anu whispered , "They are like this, moody and lost. Don’t take it to your heart." 

Priya, "Why would I take them to my heart? They are completely strangers to me and I don’t give a flying shit."

She said it loud enough to reach the respective girls. Anu looked panic, "My god, you are unbelievable."

Both girls looked at Priya and shut their mouths up in wonderstruck. Anu shocked to see them absolutely silent and they didn't pick up any fight that actually surprised her.

Anu, "You are right." 

Priya pulled her hand forward, "Sowly you will learn all this things." , she whispered down at her. 

Anu gave her a hug, "At least I have got a lively friend now." They became friends in just matter of seconds and it felt natural to them.

Priya mobile buzzed with message a notification and Anu backed off.

"Ummm boyfriend ???", she raised her eyebrows naughtily.

"No boyfriend. He is just a friend.", she said quickly, placing her luggage in the cupboard. 

Anu, "Madam only boyfriend does these type of things in bed time"

Priya,"Anu trust me, he isn’t my boyfriend. Where is bathroom ??"

Anu showed her the bathroom way and grinned down at her as if she didn't buy her words. Priya clutched her mobile in her hand and rushed into the bathroom hurriedly. 

Director Krish : Are you reached safely ? Did you have dinner or not ? Is your hostel good ? How is your roommates ? They are good with you ?  

Priya mouth fell open seeing Krish’s back to back messages. 

Breathe Mr.Sehgal, seriously you have already prepared a question paper for me - message sent to him. 

She put the mobile aside and pulled her her hair up to tie them. Just then her mobile rang up startling her. It’s Krish who was calling her and it's a video call. 

“Video call ??", her hands released the hair instantly in the attempt to disconnect the call but it turned on accidentally which she wasn’t aware of. She again gathered her silky hair to tie them.

"Just wait a minute, I am just ..”, she blabbered to herself busy in tying her hairs. 

"What are you doing ??", Krish's voice made her shiver. She looked at her phone wide eyed.

"Omg Priya..”, she shouted in shock. 

Krish immediately cut off her words mimicking her next words ,”Priya made a mistake .."

She took her phone in her hands, “Krish I am in the bathroom right now, how could you call me ??I am already texting you right?", she said embarrassingly.

“How would I know where you were?", he said observing her acts. She looked pretty in her loose hair, they were lengthy and shining. He stared her for a good ten seconds without his knowledge. 

Priya sat on the bathtub slab ,”Actually it’s good. This is the right place to have a peaceful talk with anyone without any disturbance.", she grinned which brought him out of his thoughts. 

"First answer to my questions”, he demanded. 

“Arey relax Krish, I will tell you everything. I am sharing the room with three more girls here. Only one girl received me in a good way. Her name is Anu and she is seeming so nice. You know we have become friends already."

“Means, your friend is gorgeous right ?”, he inquired playfully. 

“I am talking about her nature.", she rolled her eyes. 

“Okay..Okay”, he grinned. 

“Feeling weird but..”,she paused suddenly. 

“But?? Are you not comfortable there. Tell me Priya that’s what I was asking you.",he tensed up. 

“Uff I need to fresh up man, I will do my business If you cut the call”, she chuckled. 

“Oops sorry, I just want to make sure, you are fine or not. Okay bye and don’t forget to have dinner before sleeping."

"Aye aye sir." 

Priya saluted laughing at him and cut the call. After talking with him she felt good. 

“At least I have someone who cares for me and think about my whereabouts.", she smiled and resumed her work.
