Raghav's POV:

The minute I heard 'Jordan' from her mouth I was curious!

I never heard of Siya being with a guy till now!!!

Nor did i see her with any guys except Bikki & Suhaan. Infact she even maintains her distance from other classmates of hers because Siya has a little bit of a Brit accent & they make fun of her. I never did that even when we were not friends & probably thats why we became friends even after we didnt start off well.

But now I was curious!!!

"Jor...Jordan who?" i asked ... to which she smiled saying "My dream man"

I dont know why I didnt like hearing that from her mouth! She was dreamily looking into the beach side while the sun had setted & our friends still continued playing volleyball under dim lights. While Siya started picking her sandals & started walking towards a little shack to get a cup of tea.

I followed her & asked her "Who Jordan... i mean i never saw or heard of a Jordan in our college!!!"

While she smiled & asked me tea...

Hell I want tea!!! Who is Jordan?

But i composed myself & saif.. "Ummm no... its ...its fine.. you have"

She picked her tea & went & sat on wet sand where little waves touched her long beautiful feet. I quietly went & sat next to her. She smiled. She looked beautiful as the fire torches were lighted across the beach which was burning brightly. Her dimple is bewitchingly attractive i thought :)

But wait!! Jordan!!!

"Siya... Jordan?" i asked again.. while she narrowed her eyebrows asking me directly "Why are you so curious Mr Golu Sehgal? Huhhh? "

Yup!!! She is indeed right!! Why do i care!!! Its her whoever!!! I dont care!! I DONT!!!

While she started giggling & said... "Chill!!! Jordan is my oldschool crush.. Someone whom i fell for when i was mere 12... He was my senior... 4 years senior to me...

First time i saw him play basketball... He looked so good.

He is not like you... he is a man! I like men Raghav,..Boys just dont attract me you know... And Jordan was a man at mere 16! Matured... sexy & every girl's dream man!"

I dont know what burnt into flames inside me!!!

Is it she saying... he is a man & i am a mere boy

Or

She saying I am not attractive enough!

or that she liked him! Or wait!!! Loved him????

But i maintained a stoic face & waited for her to continue...

"Then i saw him play a Rugby match.. strong arms... 6.2... tall... & devilishly sexy! I was a goner..

Then I heard about him being every other girl's crush in college but he wasnt involved with anyone... I liked that about him. He would silently take his book & land in a library & girls would only starting pouring into our library to study when he was around.

Good in sports..Good in studies...Good with women.. One man woman basically!

I was turned on! I liked the way he spoke to girls. So i approached him & I confessed to him that I had a crush on him to which the gentleman he is ...He just chuckled saying I am a mere 8th std kid & I must just concentrate on my studies. But maybe thats what made me like him the most.

His chivalry.

I fell more for him & my emotions ignited more & more... In college I again happened to meet him as he was invited as the chief guest for a function & I met him again & this time the man he is.. he showed interest in me.. But then many other girls too...

But then we met a couple of times on coffee, he was  fitness freak & traveled farther for trekking in various forests, I joined him & again we got a bit closer...but then he was a busy man...& I am a girl who had a crush on him.. He obvioulsy has n women propose him everyday...Why will he notice an average Siya...After all his Irish looks are enough to kill girls to death! But then later he had to go to Paris for managing his dad's new business & we lost touch. How I wish we could get some more time... My luck...I dont know how many women are drooling Jordan there in Paris...
My hot chocolate!!!"

I just stood up in one go...I dont know why I couldnt hear more...

"Heyy Raghav what happened" she asked

"Umm...Na...Nothing... I must see where is my Sapna.. she is away from morning..I ..I...miss her!!! " I said

"Ohhhhhhhhooo finally...so... when is the big proposal happening?" she asked standing up

I was clenching my fist!

"Why? Are you dying to see me propose another girl?Huhh?" saying i took a step too close to her face.

I was angry I dont know why!!!

Siya's POV:

Raghav stood too close to me angrily... What did i do now? This man behaves at times like he is PMS'ing

Anyways i took a step back & said...

"Why???You only were in plans of proposing her yesterday na...If not yesterday then today...go for it!!!" I told

To which he said.."Yup i will call her & tell her" saying he started dialling her number

I was shocked!! What an idiot!! he will propose her on phone...

I quickly pulled his phone out from his hands saying

"Stop!!! You nuts o what idiot??You are proposing her mannn! Plan for it... Do something romantic... maybe a ring or some flowers...least some chocolates... & sing for her.. you anyways sing na...sing for her..."

While he kept a serious face & kept looking at me...

"Ok are you nervous?" I asked

While he was looking elsewhere...

Well probably he is..

"Ok come lets practice... Hold right hand in your left & keep your hand on my waist...come on...do it!!!" I said

He was looking at me like I am a ghost!!!

I chuckled & took his right hand & placed it on my waist & his left hand in my right hand & said...

"Now start moving... just listen to the beach waves... come on... now imagine me as Sapna & tell everything you feel"

But he looked lost...

He was deeply looking into my face but he still had a serious mad face. Whats wrong with him!

"Fine... I will tell... you just repeat it like a parrot infront of her ok Golu Sehgal???" I asked

To which all i got in response was his stern look!

Idiot!!! Moron!!!

I smiled & started saying looking into his eyes...

"Baby...ever since I met you...you have become my world...I think about you...I see you.. I feel you.. I feel you are that piece of a puzzle that makes my life complete...You are that drop of water I was forever searching in this desert called life...You are that drop of morning dew drop that makes my plain green leaf like life look more shiny...You complete me...

Will you be mine forever sweetheart?" & next I kneeled down & asked is hand & faked to put a ring in his hand... he played it all quietly...

"Will you make me yours .....Jordan?" it slipped out of my mouth... & next second Raghav swatted his hands angrily...

While i heard a loud scream from behind us...

"What the hell is happening here??? You you bitch..."

I turned around to see Sapna & next minute she slapped me hard... I was stunned.

"Stop it Sapna... I was just" I tried to explain

But she cut me in between "You were what? Trying to get Raghav for yourself? Like really? You are a super bitch you know right? I know you always eyed my man from day one!!! But let me tell you i will hang you to death he is mine!! Get it???"

"Raghav... you...wont explain her?? We were just trying to" I was telling him...

While all he said was "Leave Siya!!!" his eyes were red...

I was shocked!!! Was he angry?? Was he upset??

What the hell?? he calls me a friend & his girlfriend slapped me & he is ok with this?

I felt disgusted!!!

"Didnt you listen what Raghav said... Get lost you bitch" she said & came to slap me again while this time i pushed her hand away

"Shutup!!! I am not interested in him...I already told you! So you can freely take him away.. he is...

No sorry...

He WAS my friend!!!" I said stressing WAS very loudly!

While Raghav passed me a hard look.

" I was only trying to help a friend to propose his that girl whom he is trying to date for 4 fucking years now!!! But is a failure!!! But then you know what chuck it!
You insecure woman... stay insecure keep bullshit in your head

And you...you spineless snake...dont ever call me your friend! You let her slap me? And kept quiet??? Wooow.. I hate you! Goodbye you both!" saying i ran from there...

I was hurt beyond limits.

If this is friendship I dont need friends!!!

***

6 months later...

"Happy friendships day Bikki" I tied a band on his wrist & smiled

while i noticed two eyes look at me from far but i just ignored.

The next minute I saw his"girlfriend" came & took him away!
Yup!!! Finally thanks to our that night fight!! Raghav finally took Sapna as his girlfriend.

Although I heard it was she who proposed to him & he accepted but I was glad atleast now he has his girl!

But he lost his friend.

We were no longer friends!!
FORGET!!!

Not even acquaintances!!! I even stopped visiting Sehgal mansion in his presence.. I would avoid facing him. Even in college I maintained a good distance from him. He would however look at me time to time but I couldn't forget how he disrespected our friendship!

Our 3rd semester exams were due in 20 days of time & with that we will have our 4th semester which is mainly about project work which I had decided I will do in Dad's company which he is planning to start in India in a month. He was already in plans of the same for a last few months.

This time I & Raghav were neck to neck!!!

We were not friends!!! Everyone expected us to be competing hard for the topper position!

 I also wanted to slash his fucking ego down!!!

We had last week of classes & we finally had our study holidays for 15 days followed by our exams...

But I noticed Raghav suddenly stopped attending classes.

Where as his "so-called girlfriend" attended every class.

I wanted to ask Suhaan-Alisha on what happened to him as three days in a row he didnt come to class & knowing the last minute studying fool that he was he always attends these...

But he wasnt coming! I was shocked.But asking Su-Alisha means inviting a trouble of news telecast on BBC world.

So I decided of asking Esha... To which I got news that Raghav wasnt well.

I was shocked when i got to know he was down with chicken pox & may also miss his exams.

Now i was seriously worried. Without second thoughts I rushed to Sehgal Mansion.
