chapter 5

Sanjay is waiting for Bhumi outside of her college. Did he ever imagine it?He used to study in the same university and he has several memories of it.He got a call from her so suddenly and she requested him to meet her.How can he say not to her?She seems so interesting, He truly wants to spend some time with her.Sometimes he warns himself not to get too indulge in her thoughts.He has some bitter memories which hurt him even now.Still, he didn't know one thing, How did this girl get his number?How? He got intrigued.He checked the time and smiled at himself, he is waiting for a girl outside of her college."Hello" She appeared with a smile.He couldn't take his eyes off her.She is wearing a white color Kurthi.Why? White color again? Sanjay frowned. This time it has small pink flowers all over it.She looked cute, Though Sanjay didn't like White, Still, he liked it.Sanjay unknowingly noticing every detail of her, He never wanted it but his heart is not letting them unnoticed.It is too much interested in her.He shook his head to stop his racing heart."Sorry, I made you wait," She said glancing at her mobile.Sanjay realized that he has been waiting for her for the past ten minutes.He hates unpunctual people, but this time he didn't notice it."No problem," He smiled, Did he smile? He is very sure, he did.She smiled back.They walked to the canteen.Both of them are so quiet.Bhumi doesn't know how to start the conversation. What would he think about her?She rejected his offer outright, She hurt his ego, now she is in desperate need of a chance.What would he think?He has seen him, listened to his conversation with Prakriti.She has a very clear opinion about him, What he is? What he wants?A Powerful man with much subtle elusive opinions.But what does he think about her?An opportunist?An egoist?She couldn't stop worrying about it.She hopes he will not stick to any of these opinions as in Prakriti's case.She got worried.It either directly or indirectly affects her career, her chance of grabbing an opportunity.She needs a chance, Especially some money to survive.She looks so engrossed in her thoughts.Sanjay wants to talk to her, he wants to let her know he will be truly happy if she accepts his offer.He sat there staring at her pale face.He somehow noticed her hesitation, he guessed what she wants and felt happy."Hello, Bhumi" He leaned a bit forward and called her name slowly.She raised her eyes and looked at him."My offer is still open" He smiled.She fluttered her eyes for a second in disbelief. He surprised her."Why would you call me else?" He raised his brow.She lowered her head, looked away, doesn't want to talk.She is deeply introspecting her actions, While he couldn't stop smiling at her, her cute antics .the way, she is struggling to open his mouth.She is a brave girl with so much self-respect, he concluded.He liked it, she is unlike many other opportunists who wasted his time reluctantly."Thank you Sir," She gasped some air and spoke with a sad face."Aren't you happy?"He asked with a gloomy face.At least he expected a gentle smile from her, but she didn't smile yet.It took a second for her to understand what he asked?"Yes, of course" She forced a smile.He is not satisfied with her answer, he wants to know why?"Bhumi" He spoke her name as soft as he can, he wants a simple smile.He is trying so much to bring a smile on her face."Sir?"She looked into his eyes."How is your brother, Rahul?"Sanjay asked trying to cheer her mood.She got surprised by his words.How does he know about Rahul?Her eyes widened and looked at him with a surprise in her eyes.She smiled faintly, his reaction brought a small simper on her lips.Rahul! He made a note, the best way to bring a smile on her lips."Please, tell me how do you know?"She adjured him, to tell the truth."Then tell me how did you get my phone number?" He raised his eyebrow.He doesn't want it to be straight and simple, This conversation must be special.She looked at him crouching her eyebrows, with the same simper.Her smile is alluring, enchanting.He smiled widely.Time just flew.She didn't answer, she sat there in silence, He too didn't talk.They seemed to be engrossed in complete silence, much filled with tranquility and quietude.They didn't want to know the answers to their questions.It might kill the curiosity, want to keep indulging in each other thoughts."When will be my audition Sir?" She broke the silence this time, changing the topic."This Sunday," He said peeping into her eyes with a spark on his face.Now he has a reason to meet her again."Thank you, sir" She smiled with moist eyes with a constant simper.This made his day for sure.He sat there studying her beautiful eyes, true pools of emotions.They are holding both joy and pain at the same time, He badly wanted to know what's her problem is? and what can he help her?He wanted to talk more."Do you know I studied here?"He stated with excitement."I met my friend here, my best friends" His chest swelled up with pride."Maybe my..."He swallowed the next word, looking at her face.She smiled at his expression, She finds him intriguing."Nine years.....Nine long years."He said eagerly looking at the campus."Nothing changed?" She completed.He laughed.They both sighed at a time."Rahul is doing well.""Prakriti forgot this at the coffee shop" She gave her answers to his question.He quickly grabbed the visiting card from her hand.He remembered Prakriti used to fiddle it with at a moment.He thanked Prakriti for a moment."But you didn't answer my question?" She is about to ask something.She is looking at him with a surprise on her face with a constant grin.He didn't want her to think about someone else, didn't want to miss it.He took his glasses, wore them."Meet you on Sunday" He waved at her and walked away.To be continued.Please vote and comment.Please let me know how it isThank youTake care.
