chapter 29

On the day of their Fresher's party...All performances ended... People are enjoying it, except Manasvini... She is sitting on the corner seat... No one is interested in talking with her, she also didn't intend to talk to anyone. She is eating her food peacefully...  Her classmates got divided into groups...  And of course... she didn't belong to any of them...AJs are having fun together too..."Woohooo... Aarav, it's you, now choose truth or dare?" Samar asked "Dare"  he replied with glowing confidence in his eyes"Don't you think... you are overly confident... " Garv said looking at Aarav"Try me then..." Aarav smiled arrogantly"Okay let's see... " Garv flashed a devilish grin"See... that girl..." Garv said pointing over a girl"That villager..." Aarav replied"Yeah... Go and propose to her..." Garv said with a smirkAfter hearing him everyone started laughing..."Don't make him do something embarrassing..." Anaya said controlling her laughter."I heard she didn't talk at all" Elisha added with her straight look."He is going to be rejected" Samar added too and started laughing.Everyone joined Samar and that hurt Aarav's ego...Vihaan didn't say anything... After all, it is just a game... No one takes it too seriously... But... this is what Vihaan thinks..."Wanna bet?"  Aarav said with a serious lookThis time Vihaan was wrong. Aarav became too angry because of everyone's laughing..."Relax, It's just a game" Vihaan tried to stop him from doing anything stupid but he is too angry to listen..."Okay... What do you want to bet?" Garv asked him"Three months... and I'll make sure she won't reject me" Aarav replied with a smirk full of ego."I'll give you six months, till your birthday... But...""What if you fail?" Garv asked him"...My car will be yours" Aarav replied"Okay deal," Garv said raising his hand in front of AaravAarav took his hand "Deal" he said with a confident smile"What about us...?" Samar and Anaya said together"Whatever you want sweetheart..." Aarav smiled at AnayaThey all got busy again with their game... But Vihaan's eyes were glued at Manasvini... He is staring at her.Vihaan knows Aarav too well, he knows that Aarav will do everything he can to win this bet. He isn't able to stop his friend, he has no reason to stop him. But he didn't want Manasvini to get hurt too...  he isn't sure about his feelings... What is going on with him...  He is staring blankly in the air... When he came back to his senses... She's nowhere to be found...He looked here and there but didn't find her... Even when he has nothing to do with Manasvini but still he is bothered by that bet. He got up from his chair suddenly..."I'm going to get some air"  he picked up his cell phone from the table and moved towards the hallway... When he came outside he saw Manasvini going towards the stairs... And his steps started following her automatically...She came to the rooftop, there is no one... For her, this is the best spot. She was feeling suffocated there In the hall... She came towards the edge and was watching passing clouds... Vihaan followed her there too, unknowingly... He is still staring at her with his disturbed thoughts...She took a deep breath and was going back... But when she turned around, she saw him standing just behind her..."... " She freaked out. Nothing came out of her mouth, her Palms became sweaty, and her heart started beating too fast... He is standing too close to her... She suddenly took a step back and tripped over her foot... She was about to fall but he grabbed her from her waist...At that moment her mind got blank... She looked at him and her heart skipped a beat... This time she isn't able to stop herself from staring at him... She didn't want to do that but she can't run away either... He is standing in front of her blocking her way, she is almost on the edge, so the way behind her was already blocked and he is holding her too tightly... She is trapped there, in his arm...There is no way to escape...
