******Jhanavi POV********
I started walking towards the bus stop having tears in my eyes. Vinay tried to stop me but I was very angry with him so I warned him to not follow me. I saw Swomya at the bus stop and wiped my tears.
Swomya asked me,
"What happened to you, Jhanu? Did you cry? Where is Vinay? Why you want to come by bus?"
I just gave a fake smile at her and said,” I will come to college by bus daily”.
Swomya was shocked by my answer. She simply nodded her head and said okay to my words. She understood something happened in college.
As both of us have to catch the same bus. We boarded the bus, and sit in silence. Swomya informed me that we reached our stop. We both get down; Swomya was shocked to see Vinay at the bus stop.
I said bye to Swomya and started walking towards my house as Vinay was not there. I heard sowmya was asking Vinay, "what happen at the college?"
He simply said, "I will talk to you later, Bye."She said bye to him and left for her house.
I reached my house and saw granny waiting for us as usual. Vinay also followed me silently so that there will no doubt about our fight with grandma.
Poorni was observing both of us.
She asked Vinay, "what happened to me?". He explained everything that happened at college.
Poorni also tried to talk to me but I was still sad. I was feeling insulted about the incident. I prepared tea for myself and drank quietly. I got ready for dance class quickly my granny.
I took sharing Auto and reached the Academy for my classical dance class. As I came early to dance class. I was sitting under the tree as my class was not yet started.
Suddenly someone closed my eyes. I turned back and smiled at her.
Hi.....Kavya, how are you?
**** Kavya is Jhanavi's childhood friend and both were learning classical dance (Kuchipudi) from childhood in the same academy.****
"Hey Jhanu, why is your gloomy? Is anything wrong at home or college? Tell me, dear. My father is a police officer. If anyone ragging you at your college. " she asked me worriedly.
"Stop kavvv...nothing like that
Then what happens?
Just some fight between Vinay and me.
You and Vinay fight???
What!!!! I don't believe it!!
Tell me what happens!!
I explained everything that happened at the college.
So you are angry and sad jhanu???
I nodded my head as yes.
Shall I tell you one thing, Vinay always thinks good for you. So talk to him after going home.
I said yes to kavvv...Hey, dance class is going to start coming fast......
We headed to dance class.
After 1 hour, I was shocked to see Abhi at my dance academy.
His glare at me making uncomfortable. To avoid awkwardness, I just smiled at him.
He came towards me and asked me," Are you okay now?"
I don't know what answer I have to give.
I asked him," what are you doing here?"
He said I am here for my friend.
I don't know what to talk to him about further.
I said bye and when I was about to leave the place.
He asked," don't you ask my friend's name?"
I turned towards him and asked." what is your friend's name?"
He said my friend's name, Jhanavi, and she is my junior in our college. she was disturbed while leaving college so I came to see.......
I cut off in Middle and said...
"How your friend Ragini successful in making me cry, isn't it???" I asked him rudely.
"No, Jhanu. I am really worried about you. Even I called Vinay about you, Vinay informed about that you are in the dance academy, so we have both come to meet you. " Abhi said.
"Vinay !!! Where is he?? "I asked him.
"He told me to wait outside. He will be back in 10 minutes," he said.
"Ohh! "
"Shall I tell you one thing Jhanavi?" he asked me hesitantly.
"Yes."
"You look so beautiful, while you are dancing." he complimented.
** I don't know what to say. I am blushing inside by his compliment. But stay numb. I don't want to show my blushing face...
"Thanks for your compliment. " I said with a straight face.
He asked me, "from when you are learning dance?"
"From 9 years," I said.
Kav noticed us and came towards us.
I introduced kavya to Abhiram. They smiled at each other.
Kav asked Abhi " Are you the same guy, Who Ragini hugged?"
Abhi just nodded his head and looked at me.
She said, "you are so handsome, that is the reason that girl hugged you."
I said Kavv stop it...
He smiled and said, " your friend is a straight-forwarded person. Don't stop her. Let her talk..." he said.
"What else your friend told you kavya??" Abhi asked my friend.
I felt very embarrassed...
I remained numb as both are not stopping the conservation.
Meanwhile, Vinay came to me and said sorry Jhanu.
"Please talk to me. Please Jhanu........." Vinay requested me
First, tell me, " Did I speak the wrong thing to Ragini?"
"No" he replied.
"Then I asked why you told me to apologize to her as if I did a mistake?? "I questioned Vinay.
"Please listen carefully, Ragini is from a rich background and her father is in politics. Her mindset is not good.
She may harm you if you don't apologize to her. One thing jhanu, whatever I will do it is for your good.
And one thing Jhanu, we are from a middle-class family and better not to involve in this type of issue." Vinay explained
" Please understand. Leave this matter here itself..." he pleaded.
Kav and Abhi were also looking at me for my reply.
I just nodded my head half-heartedly.
"So, you forgive me jhanu..."Vinay asked me.
I smiled at him.
He gave me my favorite chocolate. I smiled at him and took the chocolate.
I said bye to Kavv and about to leave home...
" I want to come to college by bus with Swomya, "I said to Vinay.
He understands my words and said okay.
Still, Abhi was looking at me. I didn't understand why he was looking at me. As he observed my condition, he said bye to us and started his bike. Both of us went to our home...
