17 Theysre a couple. (2/2)
”I think you're not interested in gossips, I'll stop if so” said Jyoti in a apologetic voice.
”No, No you carry on…I need some novels for time pass. So I think I will use this time” Punya shrugged and left the cafeteria.
In the library, she sat with a book noting down from a reference book. She tried to concentrate but failed miserably. She didn't know why this was happening to her but she was agitated. She suddenly tore the sheet of paper that she was writing, crumbled it and threw it on the ground in anger. She again started writing… after two lines she scratched and crumbled this sheet too. She started writing again slowly trying to focus, she stopped for a moment, and was about to scratch it too
”Hey wait, you're right till now” a mesmerizing voice told. Punya shook a little as his sudden appearance scared her.
”Here, it should be divided by the denominator of this variant, go on” he explained showing her the problem she wrote in her book with his beautiful fingers.
Punya lifted her head slowly to see the guy who was instructing… It was Prakruth. Their eyes met and he took the side chair next to her. He was waiting for her to speak. She put her head down and continued to solve as per his instructions. She went four steps ahead easily and was stuck again… she waited for him to speak.
”Continue using this variable now, you can finish it” he said. He also explained it further helping her complete the whole exercise in 15 minutes.
She was overjoyed, ”Wow, I could solve it so easily… Thank you, Thank you so much” She shook his hand impulsively. ”Will you help me like this always, Lecturers are too fast, I can't understand” she asked. Her mind had overcome the feelings, confusions of her heart and asked him.
”Always at your service” he smiled. His smile was so natural and sweet which left her breathless for a moment or two. He was thoughtful not to utter the word friends again.
She had lot of questions popping out of her head but she shut them up intentionally.
”Hey Prakruth, did you get the book you were searching for?” Roshni asked him as she was walking towards them.
”Yeah, almost” said Prakruth as he kept his stare intact over Punya and got up from his chair. Punya frowned in anger but she controlled, she couldn't allow Roshni to take over her.
”Where's it?” Roshni asked. He had lied that he had to borrow some book from library and left the cafeteria. She had waited outside for his arrival for more than 20 minutes, frustrated she walked in to check by herself.
”Oh, someone borrowed it just now. Come let's go” he said as he didn't want to disturb the silence of the library. He knew Roshni wouldn't allow him to talk to Punya, hence he left the library deliberately to avoid further conflicts.
Punya believed that they're a couple as she could see Roshni's arms entangled against his, he tried to get rid of it twice but she forced it again as they walked away.
