FF - Unknown Love Chapter 2

FF - UNKNOWN LOVE

Chapter 2:

Arnav and Khushi looked at the chit on their hands… Both stared at the piece of paper thinking whether to open this or not…

Khushi looked at others who were opening the chits excitedly, speaking with their friends… She looked beside her, finding no one for her to share the things… She wanted to open the chit and find her friend, but she was afraid, an unknown fear… but at the same time she wants to know who was the person, an unknown pull towards the chit…

Arnav’s condition was more or less same… But he was not in dilemma. He put the chit in his pocket and was about to remove it when his hand touched something. He removed that thing from his pocket, only to see that friendship band…

He stared at the band for a minute and then looked around, found akash speaking with some fellow students…

“Akash?”

“Huh.. What Arnav?”

“Can you tie me this?” said Arnav showing the band to him..

“Arnav?.. Are you serious?” asked a shocked Akash.

“What?”

“You never believed in such things na”

“Yes.. I never.. I still do”

“Then Why are you asking me to tie this?”

“Don’t know” Arnav said shrugging his shoulder..

“What the”

“That’s my line”

Akash gave a glare to him and took the band..

“I think someone did black magic on you.. You are behaving weird” saying Akash tied the band….

“Whatever” said Arnav leave the podium…

“Arnav.. aren’t you gonna take part in any of the events?” shouted Akash looking at his back..

“NOOO…. Its all boring”saying Arnav left the hall..

Khushi was sitting inside the hall getting bored without any company… she was not the person who sit quietly and listen others.

She silently moved out of the hall………

************************

She was sitting in one of the bench in the ground looking around focussing out of nowhere.

Arnav too was sitting in one of the bench at far corner from where Khushi was sitting..

Khushi was getting bored, so she put her hand inside bag and took out something….

Arnav was looking around, when he found a lone figure sitting far from him… He was staring at the figure when he heard a music that he had never heard anywhere… The instrument was of mouth organ. His ears got alerted with that music.... He closed his eyes savouring the music, the music of love. It brought a smile to his face unknowingly…

The music started with showing happiness, then some blank emotion, then helplessness, then some fear, then the loneliness. He opened his moist eyes and looked around, to see the figure walking away. He ran towards the side, only to see she was disappeared somewhere… Arnav cursed himself for his timing sense…

Khushi felt her heart was heavy, so she took her mouth organ and start playing the only tune she learnt… learnt from her mother, smile of love… This always gives her the strength to move on, strength to smile even when she have nothing… She stopped playing after she felt relaxed.. she looked around, smiled at herself, putting the MO in her bag and left the place…

*****************************

The day ended…….

For Khushi…

It was like a normal day, spending her time all alone…

She may be alone for others, but not for herself.. She has the needed support.. Her smile of love.

She may look happy for others, but not for herself.. she has the enough things to cry.. Her fate.

For Arnav…

Its was abnormal day, spending his time all alone…

He may be surrounded by so many people, but not for himself.. He was still all alone as if he missed the piece of his life.

He may look a hot, arrogant boy for others, but not for himself.. He found the missing piece of his life, he found the thing which he was searching for all the years, His smile of love.

*************************

In Khushi’s hostel…

Khushi was lying on her bed thinking about today’s events…

“Argh.. Today I lost the band.. my friendship band, which I was supposed to tie on the hand of my first friend in this college… but?.. I didn't found my friend today na… So what.. it still belongs to me.. How dare they took my band?.. I wont leave them.. But who would have taken the band?. Its just a normal one na” Khushi was speaking to herself looking at the ceiling.

***********************

In RM.

Arnav was sitting by poolside staring the water in the pool.. He looked at the band on his wrist…

“Whose band does this belongs to?. Why did I took it with myself?. Why did I asked Akash to tie in my wrist?. Why I feel connected with this band?. Why I have this feeling in my heart?. Why my heart was restless today?. Why?.. How can I find answers to all my question?” Arnav was speaking to himself looking at the water…

**************************

In Khushi’s hostel…

Khushi suddenly got up from the bed.. She moved towards her bag and took the chit… She didnt even open the paper.. She didnt feel like open it then, but now she wanted to…

She unfolded the paper to read, avisingh@gmail.com…

“Avi Singh?”

“Who is this Avi?. Of course my college student… Huh.. What should I do with this mail Id?. Should I text him?.. Him? How can I sure be its him?.. He may be she na.. What?.. Argh Khushi.. What’s with this He may be she.. You have gone crazy. Is it he or she?. Who ever it is, should I text the person or not?.. Think Khushi Think… But What is the need of thinking at this middle of the night.. You can think tomorrow also na.. So Khushi beta, you have a very hard day laid ahead so be prepared.. go and sleep” patting herself she went and laid down…

***********************

In RM,

Arnav was again and again hearing the same music…

“Who played the tune?. Its kinda giving me the sensation I never felt.. I couldnt describe that… but I liked that sensation. I wanna hear that again.. Will be able to?. Why did I felt the music has the person’s emotion?. Is it only my illusion or real?.” Arnav thought to himself with closed eyes.

*************************

Its been two hours, the clock was striking 1.00 Am.. but both couldnt sleep… They did all the twisting and turnings but couldnt get a wink of sleep.

*************************

Furstrated Khushi, took out her MO and started playing…

Arnav felt a sudden breeze hitting his face...

Khushi played the music with close eyes....

Arnav closed his eyes feeling relaxed…

Khushi felt her nerves are calming down…

Arnav slowly drifted to sleep…

Khushi felt her eyes were heavy… She stopped playing and laid back, the minute her body hit the mattress, she slept…

The Unknown Pull between each other was the factor that connects them.
