"एहसास, Ehsaas; The feeling of realisation, Subdued enlightenment."

"And you like Aavyansh, don't you...?"

The splash of irritation with some splash of blush on my cheeks, invaded my system as soon as I heard him saying those words.

It was very clear from his voice and how he formed the sentence in the same manner as I did earlier, and that how he was using it to teasing me.

After our lecture ended, as it was break period, we both together went towards our cafeteria which is like a playground.

Our cafeteria isn't in a closed place, but is in an open place. So even though, we stood far away from the cafeteria, we could see it from the corridor of the Arts building.

Before framing his confident and firm sentence, with loads of teasing in it, he got a call from his mom so excused himself telling me to make my way towards the cafeteria. But as I wanted a little space to myself to think about the words he slid written on the paper back then in the class, I told him that I would wait for him and then we both would together make our way towards the cafeteria.

From the pocket of my jeans, I took out that paper and stared those words.

I don't know whether it's a coincidence or not, but the moment my eyes left that note, Aavyansh was the person I saw from the corridor of the Arts building who was walking towards the cafeteria.

Today, all of his classes are in Commerce Building which gave a reason to why I haven't seen him all day expect for now.

After seeing him, a smile immediately adorned my face as I kept looking in his direction. I wasn't even trying to discrete about my staring and that's given by the fact at how easily I got caught by Vansh. Or that's what I thought.

Will he get erupted by the same happiness as I did when he sees me...?

I asked my this question curiously as the smile on my face faded, thinking about the adversity of my feelings. That's when Vansh made an grand entry with a dramatic dialogue.

Everything was same. Similar tone as me. The same wordings as earlier. The same hand gestures. Just the name of 'Priya' was replaced by the name of 'Aavyansh'.

"Did you even heard yourself...?"

I might have got caught easily, but I am stubborn enough for not admitting it until I feel that the water is trying to go above my head.

He rolled his eyes at my words as he made his way downwards towards the basement of the building through the staircases, not before uttering and throwing some of the words towards me.

"You both, are making it very obvious that you are interested in each other."

It was supposed to come as a shock to me. But it didn't. I wasn't shocked or not even suprised by his sentence. And that's what made me shocked.

'How come I am not shocked by his wordings and how come I am shocked by how I am not shocked...?'

Shaking my head in disbelief, I followed him without speaking a single word.

I should be attacking him or at least threatening him not to tell anyone about this. But wouldn't it give a wrong signal to him when I am not even sure about my feelings about him...? That's why I kept my mouth shut.

Also, he wouldn't dare to reveal anything, given the fact that I know who his crush is.

"Why you both are smirking...?"

Before both of us enter the cafeteria, Aarya's voice stopped us who was coming from the same direction as us. Her question made us both look at each other with squinting eyes. It didn't took both of us long enough to know why we both were smirking and still are smirking.

The way I thought that he will not dare to say anything about what happened earlier, he also thought the same.

Knowing the name of the person, who I might have probably feelings for, would stop me from revealing his crush's name.

I rolled my eyes at him, internally thinking how I wasn't going to tell anyone about it even if he wouldn't have caught me staring at Aavyansh. I am not that kind of person who will snitch.

As if he knew what I was thinking, he also rolled his eyes sassily and made his way towards the cafeteria, leaving Aarya and me, both behind.

"What khichdi is cooking between you both...?"

[The term 'khichdi' is used to as a slang word. Khichdi is basically an Indian Dish, so that's why the word 'cooking' is used.]

I just shrugged my shoulders and pulled her arms towards the cafeteria.

Everyone was here, before we entered the scene. They were having a deep discussion about something which I didn't even heard as my eyes searched for Aavyansh.

When my eyes locked with him, I smiled at him which was immediately returned by him.

I kind of felt satisfied. Everyone was engaged in something which I have no idea of and when we made an entry, no one seemed to acknowledge us as given the fact that we all meet in the morning, but he looking at me, gave me weird kind of relaxation. It kind of made me feel special.

I sat down in between Vansh and Aarya, as they were the only seats vacant as I tried to carefully listened to the discussion going between Priya, Dev and Janvi.

It was hard to listen while Aavyansh staring me at continuously and Vansh beside me whistling in a teasing way.

No one seemed to notice what's going on the other side of the table, as the other four passionately have involved themselves in talking about something which still, I am unsure of what is it.

Finally when I had enough of the tension penetrating from the both sides of the table, thanks to the centre seat I was seating on, I slammed the table with my left hand making all of them flinch.

"Let's eat for now."

I said with a mixture of irritation and sarcasm. Though I made it sounded like it was a sarcasm, I also made sure that it would sound like irritation to Vansh as I glanced sideways to him, before starting to eat my tiffin.

When we all finished eating, the talking resumed as I took an active part in the debate now.

While talking about my view on the topic, I realised why I was soo violent earlier. For sure, the tension was one of the reason. But the biggest reason, was hunger.

The hunger quickly gets in my brain. So when I am hungry, I couldn't control myself and loose the control of my emotions making it burst out.

The teasing coming from Vansh's side and the attention which I was getting from the Aavyansh's side was too much to handle.

I have not always been good with excessive teasing which I am trying to fix as it's always alright to have little fun in life. And talking about the attention, I want the attention but at the same time, when I get it, I get awkward with the attention.

But thanks to my outburst, I observed one more thing. I observed one more person being discrete with the movements of their eyes but being really very obvious. At least, according to me, that person was being very obvious.

'What's up with everyone being discrete and secretive today...?'

Just like how I called out Vansh, I wanted to do the same with that newly caught person. But I couldn't, as I started hesitating little bit.

Sighing internally and giving up on talking about it, I made my way towards the next lecture with Aarya beside me as we both have the same lecture.

On our way towards the classroom, I couldn't help but to again think of the Magic of the Ehsaas. Because the moment I saw him sitting on a chair in the cafeteria, because the moment my eyes stared at his, my heart screamed and slapped me with the Ehsaas, with the realisation of my feelings.

"Shit!! I really like him."

Kyu sirf Ehsaas se hi malum padhta hai humare dil ki pukar...?

Why only through the feeling of realisation one gets to know the voice of one's heart...?")
