I am sitting in the classroom beside Vidushi drumming my fingers nervously. Results hai aaj!

Vidushi and Tanya are very angry on Randhir for dating Sanaya. I told them everything and their shocked expressions were picture perfect. After convincing them for like two hours and making them swear on our friendship they finally agreed that they will not scratch off Sanaya's face and not push Randhir off the second floor. Yes they were really angry that Randhir made me fall in love with him and now doesn't love me back.

Chalo kuch nahi toh at least mujhe duniya ke sabse achhe dost toh mil hi gaye hai.

Vidushi was literally whining the whole time that she missed the chance of me becoming her 'bhabhi'. They both are still making plans of how they can make them both break up. I am chuckling on their different ways of breaking them apart. I feel so much better after talking to them.

And in this moment I know that if not Randhir, these two are my forever.

Vishaad and Parth come and I nudge both the girls to now stay silent. Vishaad sits in the front of us with Tanya and Parth sits as usual behind us. He gives a smile to Vidushi but she just looks away.

Hmm.. Everyone is fighting their own love battles.

Randhir enters and with him, clutching his hand, comes Sanaya. I want to tear my gaze away but I can't move my eyes away from their entwined fingers.

"Huh... Bandar jaise ped ke daali ko chipke rehte hai waise hi ye Sanaya hai. Jab se wapas aayi hai sab jagah Bhai se bass chipki rehti hai" Vidushi says.

Randhir scans the room and then his eyes land on me. He fixes his intense gaze on me and it's like all other people disappear. His eyes flick with hurt just when Sanaya starts pulling him. They both sit on the row beside us and I hear Parth sigh from behind. I hear him murmer something about 'sitting alone' but I ignore it.

Sanaya is talking about something continuously and Randhir is just nodding giving her a smile. A smile which is not reaching his eyes. I don't understand this guy. Is he not happy?

The professor then enters the class and announces about the results. Oh god results! One by one our names are called out and thank God I pass all the subjects. As all my friends are jumping on their seats I know everyone cleared.

The last lecture comes to an end and I finally take a deep calming breath. Catching up with all the notes has made me feel exhausted. During lunch break I quickly ate my food and rushed in the library saying that I had to catch up with the syllabus.

But my heart knows why I was so adamant on putting some distance between me and the group, as the group consisted of a new couple, the guy I love and a girl who I had so confidently challenged that the guy will never love her back.

I didn't miss the stealing glances Randhir threw my way the whole day and the way Sanaya looked at me with a 'you are such a loser' look. A look of victory in her eyes for being with Randhir.

I go back to my room and change my pillow covers just when Randhir comes in.

"Hey thank you. Mai maths me pass ho gaya" he says and I just nod unable to reply back.

"Sanyukta, I need to talk to you" he says. I again just nod wondering what he wants to tell me. "Vo um mai aur Sanaya.. Sanaya actually..." He stutters.

I hold my hand up to stop him. "Kya hua, kab hua aur kaise hua ye sab mujhe nahi sunna Randhir. Tum ab Sanaya ke saath ho and that's all that matters. Tumhe tumhara pehla pyaar mil gaya aur I am very happy for you." I say, surprised by my confident voice.

"Toh tumhe kuch puchna nahi hai ke maine usse maaf kyu kiya aur hum wapas saath kyu hai" he asks with his eyes showing hurt. I chuckle weakly.

"Ofcourse nahi. Mujhe kyu fark padega." I say looking away. I can't believe I am lieing so easily. I stand up and start to leave the room when in a flash Randhir pulls me backward and pins me to the wall with a deep frown on his face.

"Kya kaha tumne" he asks, his voice thick.

"Randhir kya kar rahe ho chhodo mujhe" I push him back but he doesn't move an inch. "Yaha meri aankhon me dekh ke bolo you don't care" he urges, grabbing my face to look at him.

I look away and whisper "I don't". It's impossible to lie to him staring straight in his eyes when in reality I am crazy in love with him. He tilts my chin upward and leans forward.

"Randhir" I gasp unable to break my gaze.

"Ha bolo Sanyukta" he says his breath fanning my face. If he inches just a little bit closer our lips will meet. His eyes move down to my lips and he swallows hard causing my heartbeat to go 100 miles per hour.

"Sanyukta.. I lo.."

The door opens abruptly and Randhir springs apart. Sanaya frowns looking at the way we both are standing so close. I don't show any emotion on my face and sit on my bed, opening my notes. My heartbeat on the other hand has gone wild.

Sanaya launches herself on Randhir hugging him tightly. "I missed you babu. Chalo na kahi bahar jaate hai. Ya fir mere room me chalte hai, meri roommate bahar gayi hai" she winks at him. Randhir gives her a small smile and I feel like someone has squeezed my heart painfully.

Really Randhir? Why are you giving me mixed signals when you are clearly in love with Sanaya. Sanaya pulls him out barely acknowledging my presence and my eyes well up.

I need to stay away from Randhir so that the thing which happened a while ago doesn't happen again. I need to do something so that we get distant and I eventually forget about my feelings.
