From anti-love to crazy in love!!

Kavya hated the concept of calling seniors ‘sir’ or ‘ma'am' but right now it was important for her to find the cabin of Prof.Deshpande standing perplexed in the corridor she saw a 6 feet guy who was slim and had glasses but doesn’t seemed a geek at first place but appeared to be smart probably maybe because of the height or his personality she thought him to be senior..
Excuse me sir, Can you tell me where is Prof.deshpande’s cabin?? , asked kavya.
The guy slightly dazed just replied oh no I’m not a senior..I’m here he pointed towards the civil branch classroom of first year.
Oh okay thank you, kavya said and left. later she kicked her in head for mistaking him to be a senior.
*****
it was three days later friendship day had just passed.
The guy and kavya had a common friend.
She was chilling in break time with aashi and neha.
When the guy came as he wanted to speak to neha(the common friend).
But also he took the opportunity to wish kavya and aashi happy friendship day.
Hi I’m maulik, he said.
Kavya, she said and they shook hands.
So from that handshake their friendship started.
There were college band auditions soon in college.
Kavya was selected as singer along with her friend aashi as lyricist and so the next day she was asked to report in auditorium to meet the other band members.
As she reached ,to her surprise she saw maulik.
They exchanged smile and maulik waved hi!
He was introduced as congo player to kavya by band co-ordinator.
Okay so you play congo she asked? ,
Yes ,And you sing?
Well not that good ,she replied.
Cool, he said.
Band was where maulik and kavya’s friendship grew.
They were the same kind they were humorous and lazy.
Lazy because she rarely sang and he rarely played Congo.
They loved throwing insults on each other or anyone around.
But maulik had admitted once.
‘You know I have never came across a girl like you, I surrender ..
You really make me speechless at times or most of the times.’
She laughed at him and slammed him with another joke.
By the time they become good friends from friends.
In the band their third friend aashi was often asked they share a great bond..don’t they?
Both kavya and maulik were not very thoughtful people.
They never had a deep talk about anything serious like life or people..
They grew close only while cracking jokes and pulling pranks on their friends.
Soon their friends and people around them have started fearing their pranks.
Also with their growing friendship rumors had started to fly in the college and though initially they did not pay attention.
It was later in the second semester when kavya through neha got to know the rumored story.
Which had aashi,maulik and her .
Upon listening that three of them had laughed hard.
Love is a waste of time, said kavya.
Love is headache, said maulik.
And also they had a fight saying.
You know they connected my name to you ..I increased your graph,said kavya.
Oh hello, I did .
And in the bus that day,They literally argued.
“Tera-nahi tera-tera maine bola naa-nahi mera ni tera graph bada..
I’m smart –no I’m smarter than you.”
Why don’t you agree I raised your graph, said irritated kavya
And little loud a faculty in the bus who was sleeping on next seat woke up listening to her.
And then both of them started to laugh and then tightened their lips to control their laughter.

It was the beginning of the third semester when maulik and kavya’s gang had decided to go for a overnight campaign trip.
As they lit camp fire..all friends sat around chit chatting, singing songs.
There were seven of them maulik,kavya,neha, aashi, rohit and aman with his girl vandana .
But in the camp fire maulik was lost in kavya’s big eyes.
Kavya noticed him and asked raising her eyebrows.
He smiled and said nothing.
As the midnight came the other people said that let’s go to our camps to sleep.
Kavya received a text from maulik saying –
‘I’m really not sleepy I want to you to accompany me..i’m going for a walk’
aashi you can go I’ll come in while ,kavya said.
Why? ,aashi asked.
Arey the weather is so good I wanna sit here for a while,kavya lied.
Seriously ..okay ,aashi said yawning.

as they moved little away from camp, still walking.
So what is going on XL size wala bat ,kavya asked.
Oh then what are you XXL size ki aankho wali owl, maulik asked.
Why were you staring like that,she asked.
Because I couldn’t take my eyes off you,he said.
Is it? Try these tricks on tulika not on me, kavya said notoriously.
Idiot,she said.
Cute,he replied.
Useless, she said.
Beautiful,he replied.
She turned towards him and said gone mad?
Hmm maybe, he said.
Hey ,she said holding his hand what are you thinking?
I’m thinking a lot these days.
Waise you never told me you had a crush on me,she said.
It was since I saw you for the first time in bus with your big eyes between your kajal , he said.
Even you never said you crushed on me, he said.
Because I never had who said I had a crush on you, she said looking away.
You know these eyes of yours popping out even when you stay silent they do the talking, he said.
Achaa she looked back at him..
Their eyes met and were locked at each other for another few minutes.
What about love kavya?
What about love ..you don’t believe in it, she replied.
Yes I didn’t believe in love kavya..
But you know what I started believing in you,he said.
I hope maulik You get what you are saying right now..because you sound so,she said.
He took a step forward.
I know what I’m saying right now..but only if you get what I mean, he said interrupting her.
What about the Headache? ,she asked.
He laughed and said I don’t think I’ll be having one with you and winked.
she looked at him with her eyes twinkling and cheeks turning red.
Ah and what about your time ?
They laughed.
He entwined his fingers in hers.
She smiled.
Let’s get back to camp boyfriend, she said.
Sure love,he replied.
