A Cute Lonesome Puppy !
"DID YOU JUST TOLD ME YOU DONT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND !" she exclaimed excitedly.
He didn't reply, just glared at her.
"Great! Then I also have many friends who don't have a boyfriend. Let me introduce them to you someday as a good friend of yours. I can even tell you everything about them, from their real hair color to their zodiac signs!"
"Listen, you don't need to play matchmaker. I don't want anyone." he tried to silence her.
"Why!? Does your ex-girlfriend ditch you so badly that you don't plan on having another!?
No, this isn't going to work! You need to move on! For finding someone perfect for you, you need to keep trying first. Just like when you want to buy a t-shirt, you keep trying one after another until you get the one you desired with perfect size, perfect fitting, just of your taste.
So be positive and keep trying!" Somya tried to cheer him up.
Now Varun finally lost his patience, " Hey listen here, Miss" ' Hooligan' "I don't care whether you are somebody from this college or out of this universe, whether it's your duty to irritate me or not, I will just say this once JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ." he shouted.
If here, at this time, somebody else was present, then he or she must be terrified to bones by his chilling aura, but Somya just emotionlessly stared at his face for 5s and sighed,
"Look, buddy! I just wanted to lessen your boredom. I wasn't trying to irritate you. You have to understand that sometimes, you try to be silent to avoid troubles outside, but you never realize that by doing so you are increasing troubles in your insides!
Sitting here alone and just staring in silence will help you nothing. It will only increase your restlessness. You need to share your problems with someone."
Varun felt a different feeling by her words, but he soon dismissed that feeling.
"Or if you don't have anyone to share, then this little friend of yours is always here for you. You know na all of my friends....." she started again then suddenly an announcement comes from the stage.
" Great! It's performance time. Bye bye dear buddy ..see you later... I've to get going now...you can join us if you want anytime." and then she ran towards the stage.
Varun tried to concentrate back on his phone when he heard someone saying
'There was a silly girl
She used to love someone
Looking down and feeling shy
She used to pass through streets
Secretly and silently
She used to write letters
Maybe she wanted to say something
Don't know who she was afraid of
Whenever she used to meet me, she asks me
How does love happen
How does this love happen
And I could only say that'
then suddenly, the lights which were off on the stage started glowing, and students came from backstage and started singing and dancing.
~Whether the eyes are open or closed
I can see her
O friend, how can I tell you
How does this love happen
Friends today itself
Let us fall for someone and see
How does this love happen
Let's try and see
Lost in someone's memory
I have decorated my dreams
Sleeping in someone's arms
I made them mine
Oh friend, when in love
You can't stay awake and neither sleep
Oh friend, how can I tell you
How does this love happen~
In the group of those students, Varun spotted Somya, who was happily dancing.
In Varun's eyes, she was less dancing and more jumping from here and there, just like an excited little rabbit, showing off her flowing dress. She was looking too adorable doing it.
The song continued
~Is this some type of magic
Which happens by itself
Breaking thousands of barriers
This heart escapes
Far somewhere in the skies
All the decisions are made
No one knows about their soulmates
When, where, how will you meet them
The name that is written on your heart
O friend, how can I tell you
How does this love happen
You will fall in love with that person~
They both have no idea that this song will act as a prophecy for them!
When the party was at its height, Varun decided to go home. So he called Rahul to pick him up.
Somya thought of going home at the same time too otherwise her Mumma is going to give her a long speech about increasing crimes nowadays with a mixture of truth and rumors.
When she was driving her scooter on the way to the exit, she saw 'The chocolate Boy' walking alone.
She stopped her scooter in front of him, "Hey, Handsome! Do you want a lift?"
When Varun saw Miss Hooligan trying to act flirty, he believed that today God has specially sent her to punish him personally for being an atheist.
He knows that his silence can make anyone quiet, but it doesn't work on her at all. He had never met any girl so thick-skinned, so he opened his mouth to speak,
"NO!"
"Why no, don't worry. I won't leave you to your gate. I am not so great. Tell me where do you want to go, and I will leave you somewhere nearby if it is close to my address," Somya offered.
"Aren't you worried that I will do something to you?" he asked by arching one eyebrow.
Somya looked at this cute lonesome puppy in front of her who was trying so hard to look like a hungry tiger showing his scary fangs, and he was even looking scary, obviously a professional, but she wasn't worried at all. Even she herself doesn't know, where did she get so many guts today?
"No! Why would I be scared of you? You helped me yesterday.
Today when I asked you not to tell anyone about yesterday's incident, you agreed. Without even asking why I wanted to hide my identity, which only means, you already know why but you still didn't try to blackmail me for it. When I gave you my hand for a handshake, you firmly rejected it.
Why would I be scared of such a Gentleman." she replied and beamed.
"Seems like I should have blackmailed you earlier!" he breathed.
"Aww! But it's too late to regret now," she said teasingly.
"So, Mr. Handsome, I am going towards Vaishali Nagar. Wanna join me?" she offered again.
"No," and before she could speak, he beat her in speaking first while saying, "Let me ask you something. Do you always talk nonsense, or is it a special occasion today?"
"No, I always talk nonsense. What about you? While being at a party, you were sitting in a corner alone, staring in a daze.
Now when the party is at its height, you are walking here on the streets alone with the only moon as your companion.
Were you always like this, or is it something special today?" she winked at him.
Hearing her repeating his words, he smiled slightly but soon hid it by laying his eyes down.
As usual, it had no effects on Somya and after some more time speaking to him all by herself, she bid her goodbye to him and rode towards the main gates.
When Varun saw her leaving, he finally breathed a sigh and moved towards the car that was parked near them for a long time.
Just as he entered the car
"So, who was she?" Rahul asked in an excited voice as a child asks for his gift on Christmas.
~When people ask what I see in you
I just smile and look away
Because I am afraid if they knew
They'd fall in love with you too~
