Recap:
Dev ends up being late to class and sits beside Sona, Joseph assigns Dev to help Sonakshi in her project
Sona glares at dev when his bagpack falls on her feet for which he makes a puppy face .In the end Sons returns him the novel and walks away leaving a shocked Dev behind.
Part 6 —
Dev passed to and fro in the front lawn of the college thinking of what sonakshi had done. By now he was sure the book was the one they had bought together from the store.
He guessed it might have fell from his bag while testing her patience he ended up embarrassing himself.
“Not a cool move boy” he muttered
Polishing her nails, Sonakshi couldn’t control how thrilled she felt. She couldn’t forget the shock that was etched on Devs face when she returned his book back to him.
It had been two days since that incident and there was no trace of Dev
“I’m out of my misery” thought sonakshi checking herself for one last time before popping out of the hostel room in a jiffy
Sonakshi was trying to keep her eyes open but she had to blame herself watching movies up late at night and trying to pose attentive in
Mr Joseph’s class was a hard job.
She reminded herself to go to bed early from then on, even after being sure that wasn’t gonna happen.
“Mind is a b*t*h” she thought clearly pissed off with herself and her priorities even if that meant torture in the morning , her brain and the choices it made were stubborn. Just like her
“Ms Sona , you have a hard time in keeping your eyes open and your expressions in check!” A voice boomed into her ears ringing alertness.
All eyes were on her and Joseph’s eyes were seeing through her , as if he knew what was going on in that little head of hers
“Why is it me always?” she thought giving a nervous smile
“I’m good sir” she said and waited until Joseph’s attention was back to the design he was explaining about earlier.
Sona thumped back in her seat sighing. She didn’t know her face revealed her thoughts.
“That was dangerous ,but it went just fine” she thought. By now her sleep was out of the window and she listened to the class of what was remaining
Once Joseph’s class was over she seriously felt herself drooping on to her desk. Sleep is stubborn.
A tap on her desk disturbed her blooming state of rest, only to find an amused Dev , his hands in his pockets.
“Mind is a b*t*h ,right?” He asked smirking.
“You were in the class?” Sona was clearly surprised.
“Yep right behind you” he said
“Oh…I didn’t know”,she said
“Coffee will just be fine to teleport you back from your sleep land I think” Dev suggested
Sona silently got up. She knew he was right .
“I’m not a sleepy head” she retorted as they walked out of the class
“Hmm…Sleepy head, not a bad name either ” Dev replied making his way to the cafe with Sona on trail
Sitting in the cafe, Dev’s mind was bombarded with numerous questions. The ‘how come?’ and ‘What it’s ‘ that cooked up his mind from the previous evening.
He still kept his calm. He felt upset only because he missed out such a good opportunity to see her irritated and it would be lot of fun
” What’s wrong?” asked Sona , very well knowing what Dev was exactly confused about
” Nothing.. Lets talk about your project. You will have to speed it up” he replied calmly
She looked at him, it seemed like he was trying to read her.
“What’s the problem Dev?” she asked him again
” Im just wonderng when did you steal the novel from my bag yesterday ” he asked
She smirked at him.
“You turned out smart” he added
“When you can have my novel and still ask for it , then what I did is self justified” she replied
“Hmm…quite justified smart girl” he replied.
“Coming back to the work at hand, have you started the project?” Hs asked her
She took her own time to form the question , so that she doesn’t offend him.
“I really think I will be able to manage it on my own Dev” she said him
“I know you can. But its the time constraint and moreover I’m said to help you and I can’t cross Joseph’s words” he made himself clear on the intention of helping her.
Given a chance she would never take his help.
Call her egoist and stubborn, she calls it self confidence.
Having no other choice she nodded at him.
Later in the evening Sona sat there chatting with her friends.
Sona’s POV :
Out of nowhere a question was directed at me amid of talking about random stuff
” Dev is handsome isn’t he?” Lee asked me ,out of nowhere.
I gave him a look which I personally didn’t know what it looked like.
Somewhere in between you-are-insane and does-it-matter?
Cliff hangers !!!
Noah stared at me for a full minute.
“Is the question that difficult?” He asked me raising his eyebrow
I knew what this look of his means, not good when he hopps into the shoes of digging the details.
Preeti nudged me wiggling her eyebrows.
What was that for?
These were just trying to make something of it when there was nothing. The unnecessary drama!
“He looks okay to me” I replied
“Though I agree he has got sharp features” I added getting back to staring at my designs .
Something was unsettling in the figure I was looking at, but I just couldn’t point my finger at what it was.
“Its 8 guys…let’s call it a day” I said packing my designs and getting up dusting my jeans.
I stood there patting my stomach. Before it starts making weird noises I had to get to the hostel. I knew skipping lunch was not a good option but the submission day was nearing.
Four days would be over soon, and with tight schedule and the project to finish , days would flay away in the snap of fingers.
“We can have dinner outside” Lee suggested
I would have probably given in but with the project at hand I wanted to manage my time as much as I could.
Since dinner outside meant stalling included ,I denied and told them to carry on
“Save time for what? To watch an extra episode of Vampire Diaries?” My mind snapped at me.
I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts.
I just hate to hear the truth!
“Okay then we will meet you tomorrow” Noah said and bidding byes I strolled my way back to hostel tagging along Preeti
“How is Dev helping you in the project?” Preeti asked
“He appeared before me at the end of Joseph’s class, since you bunked the class you wouldn’t know. We talked about the project later on …” I was talking when she suddenly cut me off
“Over coffee?” She asked giving her undivided attention to me
“Yeah” I replied unsure of her what got her excited.
“You know, a lot can happen over a cup of coffee” she said smiling
“Yeah…That’s what is written on majority of the banners of coffee shop” I replied very well knowing what she was hinting at
She hummed in response as we climbed the stairs to our room
Once I had my stomach full, changing into a loose top and my PJs I sunk in my chair pouting at the design. I have been thinking about it all day, but something was missing and I had invested most of my time trying to figure it out.
I was quite satisfied with the other ones, but this in particular was not complete in my sense.
My phone beeped . I cast a glance at the name, it was from Dev.
Chat;
” How much of the project is done?” – D
“You asking about it every 2 hours isn’t going to speed it up” -S
I sighed.
I know I was snapping at him but right now he was being ridiculous. Wanting to know my project status is fine but he is being persistent and I just can’t put up
“Someone’s in a bad mood”- D
“And someone’s making is just worse” – S
“Someone is letting me affect them”- D
“And that someone is so full of themselves” -S
Sona knew she just crossed the line but Dev’s previous reply had filled her with irritation and out of rage she didn’t even realise that they started playing their own game of someone.
“And that someone is arrogant” – S
Sona’s eyes popped at the reply. His got some nerve to say me that and that he is damn annoying.
Driven by rage she picked her phone and dialed his number.
As Dev picked up the phone, leaving out the pleasantries, her anger was solely directed towards him
Devs POV:
” I’m arrogant?….God …looks like you woke up from the wrong side of the bed!
Its you who have been all along. And now mocking my project status is all your doing”
I jerked my cell bringing it away from my ears. She is almost screaming.
“Woah…hoo…Kolkata Express hold on. Pull the brakes, you sure are gonna derail at this speed” I replied tossing on my bed keeping the magazine aside on the night stand
“You just called me arrogant” she probed
” Yeah I did” I replied smirking.
“Well you should very well know that it suits you more than it could ever to me”,she stated.
She would make a good lawyer , I thought
“Yea…that you made clear in your last message” I replied
She was silent for a while. I could here her sighing on the other side.
“So…why you called?”I asked
She took a few seconds before answering.
“This project is eating away my last ounce of patience” she declared.
“How can I help you?” I said in a robotic voice.
If I had learned anything in these two months its that, annoying her is so much fun. She gets provoked so easily.
“Oh may be I just called at the receptionist desk, pardon me , wrong number” she snapped
I chuckled, “okay girl now your derailing from the topic” I said
“What’s with you and trains and derailing!” She asked with that w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r tone
“Okay , chuck that I need some help with few designs if that’s okay with you” she added
“Yeah, that’s fine my me.
Just let’s discuss it over tomorrow over coffee or anywhere in the campus” I offered
“yeah that will do” she said
“OK then see you tomorrow” she added
With that I ended the call.
She just over thinks so much , I thought pulling the comforter over me
End of POV
Soon after the call Sona thought it would be better to work getting up early in the morning then dealing with the designs right now.
Even after knowing she isn’t a morning person, she set the alarm and hopped on her bed.
‘A lot can happen over a cup of coffee” Preeti’s voice rang at the back of her mind
“Probably I might get done with my project, nothing else is gonna happen” Sona told herself switching of the bed lamp
