I'll wait (#YourStoryIndia)

part 1

I'll wait....!

"Akira.... Where have you been chalo canteen chalte hai?" Darshan said as soon as he saw me. We were gang of 5 ... Sushant, Dripti, Tanisha,Darshan and Me.. Akira. They all were sitting near our regular spot in the college. Darshan just a smile from him i would do anything.

Darshan came into my life 3 years back. We have met in our intermediate and from then we were good friends atleast thats what he thought. Dripti was also my classmate from intermediate and was my bff or thats what i thought.

"Abhi... Mera class hey Darshan." I said as i sat beside him. "Yaar subha se kuch nai kaya mera mood bhi teek nai hai aur tu clasa ki baat kar rahi hae..?! Kaha gaya voh dosti?" He said dramatically. I smiled "Inn mein se kisi ko leja.. Mera class hai uske baad i will meet you in canteen." I said. "Tujhse pucha hai mein ne.Tu chalegi bata warna mein akhela chala javunga.." He snapped and started walking away. Arey, abb kya hua i thought. Class gayi baad mein waise bhi attendance toh hai .

"Go... What are you waiting for? I will take the notes aur phikar na kar proxy dedungi."Dripti said. I throwed her a grateful smile.

"Thank you sweet heart" i said " Ab jake mein sir ko dekhu"

"All the best with that shayad kuch hua hai ghar mein" she said frowning.

"Mein dekhti hu" i said and rushed behind him.

"Arey Darshan sunno ... Im coming" i shouted as i ran behind him in the hallway. Girls were glaring at me which i ignored. Darshan was like the hot guy of the college. Mostly every girl has crush on him. He interacts with every one but is mostly confined to our gang only. Thats why most girls hate me and some dont even try to hide it. Rumor has been spread in our college that Akira and Darshan are couple that is reason both of them are always together. I used to blush whenever a guy comes and asks "Are you and Darshan?!" Where as Darshan is just plain irritated. 'Kuch bhi' he used to say. 'Choda na' i always replied but did a happy dance.

"Darshan..."i said holding is elbow to gain attention.

"Tu kyu ayi..... you had class na... Ja ja class ko ja.." He said.

"Darsh.. Chup chap reh aa rahi huna." I said while fake glaring at him and pulling him with me to the canteen.

He was eating his 3rd plate of chole bhature while i was still siping my pineapple juice. I was watching him. Darshan had this habit of eating more when he is upset.

"Kya gurr rahi hai?" He asked.

"Gurr nahi rahi hu..... Dekh rahi hu ki tu batayega ya mujhe puch na padega?"i asked as we made eye contact. Those eyes.... Hayee..... Snap out Akira baad mein dekhenge....

"Kya batav?" He asked faking a smile. Idiot hai puraka pura. I am in love with him for the past 3 years aur sir doesn't even know. But little does he know i have done Phd. About him. I could easily say that he is upset.

"3saal se dost hai hum. I know kuch toh baat hai. Ab batayega." I asked.

"Mom ka call aya tha" he said in a grave tone.

Darshan's parents are divorced. They got separated 2years back. Darshan used to stay with his father until he moved out last year. He was been funded by his dad. He doesn't like to talk about his parents much.

"Kya kaha..?" I asked slowly. " kehna kya hai.. She wants to see me." He said. "Darshan she had her reasons for the divorce you can't blame her. You can't cut her out of your life." I repeated the same words i have been telling him for months.

He neglected my words as usual and stole my juice. Usually i would not let any one take a sip... But Darshan he is always exception. As a small kid is scared of darkness he is scared of love because whatever happened with his parents and that stupid ex girlfriend Naina. If i told him i love him for sure mujhe chod ke chala jayega. He won't even accept me as a friend. So, i always continued to keep my love a secret because i can't afford to lose him.
