Staring at the ceiling, Rohan thought about what had happened to him when he was conversing with Dhruv. That's not the same as how he shares words with others. He felt a little hesitant and shy. Reading the dialogues of the play so he tried to distract himself from these thoughts.
"Wake up Rohan. "
"Yeah, mom ". He mumbled. Suddenly the pages last night he was reading scattered on the floor.Oh, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading the play. Running his fingers through his hair he got up.
Take a quick shower. He dressed up in a blue U.S polo t-shirt with light blue jeans.
Leaning on the kitchen island waiting for breakfast he spoke out "Hey mom. I wanna tell you something". He hesitated a little but gathered up the courage.
"Yeah, Rohan. What is it? "
She raised her eyebrows placing an omelet in front of him.
Suddenly a deep voice entered his ears. "Morning kid". Placing his big hands on Rohan's shoulder his dad said.
"Ggg...Good Morning Dad"...he fumbled a little.
"So .. what are you two gossiping about.".
Rohan instantly replied before his mom could say anything.
"Nothing dad just college stuff".
"Okay ..I have to go." Picking his bag he rushed towards the door.
“At Least eat your breakfast”. His mom shouted behind.
"Mom, I am already late. I'll eat something in college."
He replied in a rush.
The car engine roared and after a drive of a half an hour, he reached college. Normally if one doesn't face traffic then it is just 15 minutes away. But Delhi traffic is the one that can never let you reach your destination on time. Long lines of vehicles honking at each other.
Rohan parked his car. He noticed a black Mercedes parked beside his Honda city.
He headed towards his class through the crowded hallway. The class was half empty so he immediately placed his bag in the centerline 4th bench.
He took out his phone and called Kabir but he didn't answer. Placing his phone on the desk he waved to his other friends.
"Is this vacant". He turned his face and saw Dhruv standing behind him.
"Yeah, kind of.”
"Huh..?"
"I am not sure if my friend will come or not. You can sit. Its fine ''.Rohan scooted over to the other side and Dhruv placed his bag on the desk.
"Hi, Dhruv...” Someone called his name seductively.
"Who is she!!".Dhruv whispered
”None other than the prettiest girl of our class” Rohan replied winking at Dhruv.
"Ohhh. Hi umm...." Dhruv hesitated.
"Ridhima." The girl replied leaning on the desk.
They shook hands and she asked him his contact number.
"I'll see you after class." She waved at him and sat on her bench.
"Okay cool." He gave a warm smile.
Someone hollered from behind.
"Dude you got her. I mean she never asks anyone first. Boys surround her like bees".
"That's my aura bro". He chuckles.
Ping... Rohan bit his tongue as his phone was not on silent.
Kabir’s name flashed on the screen.
"Dude, I am going on a date with Rhea Oberoi. See you tomorrow."
He placed his hands on the desk and his hand brushed against Dhruv. Rohan felt sparks. They both jerked their hands away.
“Good morning everyone,” the teacher said, gaining everyone's attention...
Days passed and the practice went on. Some laughed and some praised the acting of Rohan as Sylvia. But his co-actors give their whole support to Rohan as they knew his talent.
In between, he visited Kabir's place. He didn't come to college for the last two days. Rhea broke his heart. She introduced Kabir to her boyfriend Jay. While pushing the chair he accidentally pushed the table too and spilled food on Rhea ruining her dress. So he ran from there.
Rohan laughed at his actions and rolled on the bed like a kid.
Mimicking Rhea he said "’ Kabir say Hi to my Boyfriend’. Hahaha"
"Oh come on bro. At Least you should understand my feelings. You know how much I liked her". He threw a pillow on Rohan's face.
Controlling his laugh he said.”Okay... okay….”
"So what if she has a boyfriend. Come on cheer up .we’ll find someone else."
