Chapter 23

"How can I say it when the feeling is mutual?" asked Anjali.

Everyone was equaly shocked to hear it. What did she say?

Shifting her gaze from Lenin to Anjali, "Huh?!" Zoya asked.

Anjali lifted up her jaw looking straightly at Zoya and Lenin.

"I love him..."

Those words were able to stop Eby. He leaned at the doorway for some seconds. Then he turned to look her.

The one who gifted him those magical words...

She was already looking him bearing thousands of emotions in her eyes.

Breaking the silence, "Is there any other Eby in our college?" asked Aju. Without even glancing him, Farhan placed his palm on his mouth.

Amaaya and Rinu were looking their Alien trying not to blink, double checking what she had said.

Totaly ignoring the crowd whose eyes were fully on her, Anjali started to move towards him.

The love of her life.

Eby gulped feeling her very strong gaze at him. When she was at a very small distance from him, she paused.

The viewers could not wait any longer to see what would happen in the next second.

Anjali looked down for a second whereas Eby kept gazing her without being able to control his feelings.

"I love you Eby." She gazed into him.

Eby wore unreadable expression at that precise moment. At first he was shocked like 'Huh?' Then he gave a doubted smile.

Ohh god! His face was really looking funny. Ofcourse he was super happy. Like shyness-filled happiness.

With that, Lenin left there followed by a very disappointed Zoya.

It was like her head was hit hard by a frying pan.

Farhan exchanged a hearty smile with Amaaya and then to his dudes.

"Are you sure?" Eby asked her

"What?"

"I mean, you are not saying it only to escape from them, right?" He asked with a slight fear of the reply.

Hearing those hurtful words from him, Anjali turned red out of her anger. "What the hell are you talking Eby? Why are you thinking that way? You know I was, I was trying hard to hide my feelings all these days. But I can't stop me from, loving you. I thought I would lose you. You don't have any idea how much I felt regret when I avoided you everytime. And here you are,asking me 'are you sure or not?' and all."

Her words made him mum like a statue. He could feel both the sadness and anger in her wet eyes.

"Anjali, I didn't mean that way. Please, please don't be mad at me."

"I ain't mad at anyone" She said still in the anger.

"Ohh! Thank god" He teased her.

"Uhm, by the way, don't you have anything else to say?" She asked without facing him.

"What?" Raising his eyebrow at her.

"Uhh, nothing." She said throwing her gaze somewhere else.

Trying to control his smile, "I had already said it before three years"

"You still...?" A slight smile forming on her lips. He nodded and her smiled widened.

It was enough to redden her cheeks. She kept looking him with more and more passion.

"Ahem ahem." Farhan moved to them with a smile.

Eby and Anjali gained back their consciousness and felt too many pairs of eyes on them.

Looking at the viewers,"What you guys want? Go and have your dinner." Ordered Farhan. Then students were engaged in other stuffs.

Crossing his hands,"Uhm, don't you want to eat?" Eby asked him.

"What the...?"

Eby let out a laugh while Aju, Ishaan and Kaira joined them.

"Are you sure that you meant our Eby?" Aju teased.

"You are feeling jelly right?" Asked Kaira.

"Ofcourse he should. First of all, I have got his Viha and now Eby too." Winked Farhan.

At the mentioning of her name, Kaira's happy face was no longer visible.

Eventhough she knew that Farhan was not in a serious relationship with Viha, she felt somewhat sad inside.

"Anyways, you are taking a risk I think." Ishaan pointed to Anjali.

"What the hell you guys want? Go fast. Or else you will miss the food." Said Eby.

"Ohh god! I think you don't need any food for a week." Teased Farhan. Anjali kept smiling at them.

At the next second, she was circled by her besties. They wore a wide smile and hugged their beloved Alien.

"Amaaya, you didn't get treat from Farhan, right? Let's ask for a big treat from both these guys. What say?" Aju asked out.

"We may get from Eby. But I won't expect it from the minister of misers." She scoffed.

"That's it. Ainu knows everything." Farhan grinned.

"By the way, your dance was speechless. I didn't expect such a great performance from you." Eby muttered to Anjali making sure no one would hear it.

"Really? Was it that much nice?"

"Outstanding!"

"Uhh, more than Shreya?"

"Leave Shreya and all. You are the best." He winked at her to which she turned more red.

"Well, I heard that someone was standing at the back with eggs in hands?"

"Ohh! Who was that?"

"The one who does acting very well." Eby gave a sheepish grin at her.

"Alien I'm so sad to ask can we go now?" Asked Rinu.

"Uhh, yeah. Let's go."

"No. I will...." Eby started to say something.

"What?" Farhan cut off him.

"Nothing. You two take care, okay?"

"Okay daada ji." Teased Farhan.

Everyone let out a heaty smile looking at Eby.

When Amaaya turned around,her eyes met with Ishaan who was already smiling to the last moment. They exchanged a smile still in that hangover.

They both were very happy and so smiling at each other unconsciously.

When Ishaan got back his consciousness,

*Wait, what the hell am I doing?Smiling? That too to her. The one who didn't even appreciate my performance. Wait, I don't need her appreciation. Yeah,no need of it.*

With that he turned off his smile and gave a murdering look at her.

*Ohh my! Did he think that I was smiling at him? No way. There is no need of giving my beautiful smile to such a metal like person. Yeah, no need of it.* She too switched off her smiling mode.

"Faru, let's go. It's getting late." She reminded him.

"So you too are coming with me?"
He asked surprisingly.

"Then who else?"

"Vihu."

"Vihu your foot! You go with her. I can't travel with that red lips. I will go by bus. Okay bye."

"NO." Ishaan ordered

The other three asked in unison, "What?!"

"Uhh, I was talking in phone." Raising his phone, Ishaan pretended like he was talking in phone for the last year.

Out of a sudden, Amaaya's phone beeped. She went outside to pick up the call.

Thinking once, twice, thrice and arguing with his mind and heart,
Ishaan moved out following her..

Later at com-villa,

With his drunkard eyes,"Why the hell are you people disturbing me waking me up in this freaking midnight?" asked Dany.

"We want you to join our celebration today. Let's enjoy." Aju yelled.

"What? You guys got dismissal from college?"

"That day is not so far. But today we are happy because of..." Farhan began.

"You idiots are happy know? So please let me sleep." Dany begged.

"Okay then, we can have that spicy chicken." Said Aju.

"Wait, did you say chicken?"

"Yeah dude. Ishaan is making a special chicken curry and Eby has bought bun too."

"Bun and chicken curry!? That too at this time? Like seriously?" He sat on his bed rubbing his eyes.

"He felt like cooking. So we felt like eating." Smiled Aju.

"If you want, I can also join. But what was that happy news? Sure that it wouldn't be Ishaan's chicken curry. We had it last week naa?" Said Dany.

"Finally." Farhan started to say.

"Uhmm?"

"Anjali confessed her feelings for this dustbin."

"Dustbin your Viha." Eby muttered.

"Guys, my special one is ready." Ishaan came to them.

"Ohh god! Don't make this our last supper." Prayed Farhan.

Sooner, they engaged in their favourite hobby. Eating.

They all were eating with much hunger like there was no tomorrow despite of the fact that Ishaan's cooking was so pathetic.

"Ishaan, you made this curry all alone?" Enquired Dany.

With much proud, "Yeah. Ofcourse." he said.

"Don't repeat it."

"You are such a failure in chicken curry." Said Nihal.

"Then stop eating." Ishaan let out a breathe.

"I told you naa. Bun suits chicken curry." Commented Farhan with a full bun in his mouth.

"Anjali's dance was really amazing, right?" asked Aju.

"Yeah. She just rocked both onstage and offstage." Farhan added.

Everyone turned to see Eby's face at that very second.

"Ohh my! Are you blushing?" Farhan teased him.

"Blu, blush? No. It is because of his spicy curry."

"You can lie. But not to love guru."

With that everone started teasing him calling 'Spicy curry'.

▪▪▪▪

She stood still watching the sky lost in her thoughts. It had been two hours she was sitting beside the window. Something made her to stay there.

A voice broke the silence, "Shreya, why you are awake at this time?"

"Aunty, I don't want to sleep now."

"But..."

"Please let me."

Aunty left her closing the door hard after which shreya turned back to look outside.

Her thoughts went to Anjali and Eby. Eventhough she like none of them, deep inside she was feeling happy for them. And thinking about his dance that day, a small smile formed on her lips. But she turned sad by more thoughts of him. Her love.

Would she ever get a chance to confess her feelings to her love?Would he accept her? When would be that day?

It had been a long time she was hiding everything from everyone.

But she had to wait for the right time..

A tear escaped her eyes thinking of her tragic life. How could she bear it all alone?

She didn't have a family of her own. Neither parents nor siblings. Not even a good friend. She had never dreamt of anything in her already tragic life. Except him. Only him. She always wished to have a life with him. Her one and only love. And she was not ready to lose him for any reasons in the world. She believed in God that one day he would accept her whole heartedly.
