Getting to know Priya better wasn’t as easy a task as Raj thought, on one hand it wasn’t like love at first sigTht nor was it disdain at first sight and slow and gradual love .And that was what made their love story particularly interesting.A fiercely independent Priya had rigid views on what and whom she liked. Pleasant by nature, she took a long times to make friends. And those she had a lot of but no one got close to her heart.The first step for Raj was obviously to find out all about her. He already knew where she lived and finding out where she was studying too was easy. But what really helped was that his friend Mehul’s sister knew her. Well almost . Shreya studied in the same college. But with all the begging pleading and maska maroing the ALMOST vanished. Shreya knew someone who knew Priya really well.All Shreya needed to do was hang out with her more often .
"So you think She'll like me, achcha kab milwa rahi ho"
"don't pester me, koshish kar rahi hoon na baba"
"Achcha listen, I'm planning a picnic, why don't you and Mehul also come"
“yaar mujhe mat ghaseeto is sab mein , be matlab ka ullu khichega mera, with ur frens” Mehul said" you'll be looking at Priyaa, main wahan kya karoonga,”
“Achcha bachchu aur mai agar shreya ke saath jaonga toh use nahin lage ga ki I am trying to patao shreya , tu bhi na yaar you really don’t use that peanut you have which the world calls BRAIN”
Mehul replied, “but yaar , tu samajh raha hai na , what my qualms are , achcha agar she starts liking me instead of you toh jalna mat samjha?
“Jalonga , nahin tujhe jala doonga , saley", retorted an ever filmy Raj," now quit pulling my leg, yeh mooh aur masoor ki daal”
“Toh decide ho gaya hai na .. sab chal rahe hai aur kisi ko le chalna hai ya bas…”
Raj counted the days , impatiently waiting for Sunday. Each moment was an eternity in itself. As Sunday dawned, the butterflies in his stomach would not stop flitting. He felt as if he was on Neptune , walking on air. The moment he saw her, he almost choked. The effort of acting cool drove him mad, when he had to shake hands with her. When his fingers met hers as they shook hands, his legs didn't stop trembling but he kept a look of nonchalance on his face. The smell of her hair drove him absolutely crazy.It took all his strength that day not to hold her face in his hands and kiss those tender lips. Every time his eyes met hers , his heart did a somersault and it took forever for his pulse to stop jumping.
Just before lunch, every one decided that would be a good idea to have a game of volleyball and a then a quick swim in the pool nearby to cool off. Boys and girls as usual split into separate teams. It was Raj’s turn to start and the ball went all the way to the last person on the girl’s team, sneha . Sneha was paying more attention to Harsh than the ball and the ball hit her on the head. Before she could realize what had happened, Priya hit the ball before it could fall on the ground , the ball was just short of the net, but shreya jumped up and hit it over the net and so the game continued. But the boys won the game 1 – 0 , and both parties raced towards the pool , boys stripping while running and women chatting as the sun shone brightly against the hazy blue background.
