Continuation
Past in Italics
Priya's Pov.

I am feeling like a butterfly,in a colourfull world called love.My eyes are fluttering and looking for my love interest.I couldn't find him.I am truly anxious to see my lover,My life.I walked towards canteen and saw all our friends assembled there in the canteen.

"Hai Priya"Ram waved at me and smiled.Soon Prem turned to me and smiled.

"Hai,"I went to their table and occupied my chair.

"Hai Priya"Prem wished me and winked at me.

I smiled back shyly and realised something suddenly.

Everyone here is keeping a sulky face and seems they are thinking about something so seriously.

"So,What do you think?"Ram asked so suddenly.

"Sandy is so upset!"Prem looked at Arjun.

"Ha!I too think the same"Sowmya frowned.

"Come on guys,What did Arjun do so wrong?"Ram was the only one to defend Arjun.

"But I am against you,What you actually did was really so mean"Pradeep gave a cold stare.

I am listening to them like a doll.I truly have no idea that what is happening there and what are they talking about.

I looked at them expecting some information but my effort went in utter vein.

This time I looked at Arjun and he just signed at me to stay calm and cool.

"Okay!"I mouthed at me.

"Guys its my problem and I will solve it,I assure you..."Arjun said it so casually as nothing had happened.

"Sure!'Sowmya questioned this time.

"Yes!"Arjun nodded and everyone stopped talking about the thing.

I felt really weird about everything.Is Arjun hiding anything from me?Is he doing it Purposefully?

I truly don't know what had happened between Sandy and Arjun? But it became the talk of the college.

I was in a trance for a second.Arjun clapped at me and shook me twice which brought me out of those thoughts.Then I realised I am not alone, We both are not alone, We are here in canteen sitting with friends.

"Let us rehearsal! "Arjun asked me and looked at others.Everyone looked at Arjun and few nodded.

"Okay!"I nodded.

"I love you"He whispered in my ear slowly hiding from others.

"I love you too"I said mechanically whispering yet I am not feeling comfortable while saying this.

"What?"He gave a strange look.

"Nothing"I am trying to stay normal.

"Sandhya!"Sowmya shouted at sandhya who is walking ignoring us.

"Sandhya!"She shouted again.

"Sow!"Sandy gave a fake smile.l

"We need to talk"Sow begged.

"Excuse us!"Sow looked at us.

"Sure"Pradeep nodded.

"This is not the first time"Prem sighed heavily taking the last sip of the coke.

"Its all fair in ......"Pradeep is about to say something dramatically and was stopped by Arjun's killer glance.

"Okay!"Pradeep shrugged and walked away.

"Okay! See you at the auditorium"Prem took his guitar and left us both alone.

"What is all this?!"I asked Arjun a bit seriously.

"It was Sandhya's birthday yesterday.I couldn't attend the party, So....!"Arjun said very casually.

"I don't think so..!"I looked away.

"It is the fact!"Arjun answered seriously.

"I believe you but...."I couldn't complete the sentence.

"Look at me Priya"Arjun looked straight into my eyes.

"I love you.I love you with all my heart.From the moment I saw you I realised that I live for you, For you alone.I want you to be a part of my life,No... I want you to be my whole world, my life.I want you to be part of my family.I want a family ,which is ours.I want you to be happy all the time.I want to be the cause of your happiness.I want to support you, protect you,pamper you,Kiss you.I just want to cherish every moment of life with you.I am lacking words to express my feeling.Please trust me Priya, Give me a chance,Only one chance.I want you to trust me in all the circumstances.I want to confess you few things before that I need some time"He was very honest through out the speech and left me there alone.

I was truly clueless about the things what are they talking about and what Arjun is hiding from me but I realised that he truly loves me.I felt happy but something is distrrubing me very badly.I stood up and stepped towards the auditorium with a turmoil.

Arjun's Pov.

I want to make Sandhya very clear again that I don't love her.She thinks I love her and all these fools are thinking the same.I want to make it clear to everyone but it spread like a wild fire.I tried my best, defended it hard but...

"Arjun!"Sandy called me.

"What?"I asked her a bit harshly.

"Why are you angry with me Arjun?!"She started crying.

"Come on Sandy, Don't be a drama queen"I spat her.

"It's not like that Arjun"She said in between sobs.

"Say me one thing Sandy, Did I ever confess you my love?"I asked her straight away.

"No!"She nodded.

"Nor Ever I told you or anyone that you are my love?"I asked her looking straight into her eyes.

"No!"She is sobbing.

"Then what the hell is all this?!"I shouted.

"You made me realise your love.Even you behaved like that"She muttered under breath.

"Shut up Sandy, I did every thing as a friend.There is nothing more between us.You too know that well then why is all this?"I asked her again.

"It's not fair Arjun"She muttered again.

"I dont want to talk to you about this again.They only mistake I did is that I was silent all this time,I might have made it clear to everyone much earlier.I didn't do that as others asked me to keep quiet as it hurts you but ....I did a mistake and I don't want to keep you in any trance more.I don't love you and there is nothing more than friendship between us."I broke my silence.

"Do you love anyone else?"She asked me suddenly.

"It's none of your business"I shouted at her.

"So its you!"I saw Priya standing Infront of us two and Sandy said some thing to her.

"What is all this?"Priya stood infront of me questioning.
