Oh My Love!

10. THE CHALLENGE

In boys hostel

Sumit was studying Pathology in which he was very pathetic, when he noticed that Rohit was silent.

Su- Rohit??

R- Uh??

Su- What happened? Why are you so silent?

R- I was just thinking about Karan...how could he do this to her?? Even I know that she has feelings for him but why can't that idiot get it?? Is he that thick brained?? She must be very hurt yaar.. I hope she atleast talks to Raima about this.. about her feelings....I feel so sorry for her...

Sumit was listening to him with a light smile playing on his face.

R- What?? Why are you smiling like that?

Sumit shook his head and said,

Su- You love her don't you??

R- What?? no??

He blurted out, too soon to be the truth.

Su- Rohit!! Are you really that stupid?? Or are you just testing my patience?

R- You stop testing my patience my Sumit!! All the time you're just stuck over the same topic.

Su- Because you're lying to yourself and others Rohit!! It's very clear that..

R- Sumit please I'm talking about Karan, and you're changing the topic.

Su- I'm not changing the topic Rohit, infact I'm steering it in the right direction.

R- I don't love her....Got it??

Sumit was about to say something, when an idea struck his mind.

Su- Oh so you don't love her..... right??

R- Ya

Su- Are you sure?

R- I AM.

Su- Ok

Rohit looked at him suspiciously.

R- Ok?? That's it??

Su- Yeah, even if you're not..you will eventually.

R- I will not.

Su- You will.

R- Will not.

Su- Ok then, let's have a challenge shall we?

R- What challenge?

Su- I challenge that you will fall in love with Sona..... before this assingment ends.

R- What??? no ways Sumit.

Su- Alright then accept the challenge.

R- No I won't.

Su- Why not (in a taunting manner) is Mr.Sippy scared?

R- Shut up, I'm not.

Su- Then accept it.

Rohit looked here and there.

R- Fine, I accept.

Su- That you're in love?

R- NO..That I will fall in love with..

Sumit raised his eyebrows.

R-(stammering) Ahh....I...I...mean that... I will not fall in love with her.

Su- Ok, so the who loses the challenge....has to do whatever the winner says.

Rohit was a tad bit tensed.
