Love Is The Last Option

I was paralyzed after witnessing the awkward situation in front of me.I just stared back at him.He had discomfort creeping all over his face as soon as he noticed my presence.Vishakha looked unaffected.She was still holding Aaruj's hand.I guess I was an intruder.I apologised quickly and tried hard to walk away from them though my body wasn't co-oprating with my mind.Somehow I returned to the spare room again.

He soon followed me.I ignored him royally.A moment of silence passed through us.He finally spoke"What you saw there was....."

I interrupted him saying"What I saw there is none of my business.Don't worry I won't mention this to anybody.If that's what you are worried about."I said snatching the plastic tube from his hand.I tried cutting it to a length where it would fit appropriately.But my clumsiness took over the charge and I accidentally cut my finger with the scissor.

"Ouch!"I winced in pain while blood started coming out from the wound.As soon as he saw it he held my hand into his to have a look at the cut. I jerked it away.It was like a dejavu of the incidence in chemistry lab.He was about to hold it again when Sasha entered inside.I had texted her to meet me when I was heading to this room again.I wanted someone to talk to.I wanted someone to hug me tightly. I wanted to cry and get over this feeling whichever was causing this pain in my heart.

"Nia,what's wrong?I got your text and I was so worried.Oh my god!Your hand.it's bleeding."she exclaimed when she reached near us.

She pressed the cut to stop the bleeding and instructed Aaruj who was just staring at us with a blank expression on his face"Why are you standing here like a statue?go bring the first aid kit."

He soon rushed to the drawers on the left side of the room.After looking for a while he finally found it and brought it to us.Sasha cleaned the wound and applied a medicine on it.Then she wrapped a bandage around it.I had injured my index finger of left hand.Aaruj looked at the clock and cursed under his breath.Only 15 minutes were left for the expo to start.He started fixing the plastic tube inside the mountain.Sasha looked at me with worried eyes.She made me sit on a chair and gave me a water bottle to drink.I gulped down all the water at one go.Though It wasn't that big.I kept quite for a while and then the incidence from the store room kept playing in my mind.Soon to my surprise,a tear rolled down from my cheek.I was about to wipe it when she held my wrist making me look upto her.

"Why are you crying babes?Did this loser do anything? I don't belive these guys.First they tried beating Pranjal in the morning and now this Aaruj has made you cry.They all are nothing but a bunch of evil people."

I was about to clear her misunderstanding when the words she spoke about Pranjal registered in my brain.They tried beating Pranjal, she had said.I was now fuming with anger."What did you do to Pranjal?"I demanded an answer from him.

He gave me sheepish look."It's all a big misunderstanding.Trust me I can give you an explanation."he said with pleading eyes.I wanted to give him a chance to explain his side of the story. But soon a boy arrived and told us we needed to take the model to expo venue which was apparently our college ground. Aaruj and that boy picked up the model and left the room.

Sasha and I went to the washroom to fix my after crying face.She told me about what had happened with our best friend in the morning.I wanted to talk to Aaruj.So I headed to the expo venue.It was crowded.Students and teachers from other colleges had also come to participate in the expo.I reached to our alloted place.Aaruj was busy in explaining the model to the students who had stopped by to watch it.He stopped talking when he saw me.I looked away as I was really feeling ashamed of my behaviour when Sasha had arrived.It was just a tiny cut damn it.There was nothing to cry about it.Why did I overreact?May be I really deserved the name he had given me'Miss Tantrum'.

Soon he resumed talking again"This model is a depiction of how the volcano mountain works.....".He was inturrpted by a guy.

"Hey sweety what happned to your hand?"asked Zeeshan,our seniour from BSc. Branch.He was also present in the group of those students.I was surprised with his sudden frankness.Though he wasn't a total stranger.Sasha knew him correction she knew almost everyone from the college whether it be a junior or senior. Being her friend,I also was familiar with some of them.Her tomboy persona would always attract everyone's attention.

"Just a tiny cut.It's fine now.Thanks."I replied with a smile.

"You really did a great job with the model.It's impressive."he said with a wink.He didn't look harmful.I mean it was really sweet of him to ask about my injury when my partner had not even shown a little courtesy to do so.

"It's not a Rocket science.Even a three year old can make it and if you are done with looking at the model.You can move ahead. There are people who are waiting to have a look at it."Aaruj spoke venomously.Though I doubt there was anyone waiting actually as he had mentioned.Either I needed glasses or he had premonitions about it.

Those guys shared weird gazes with each other after hearing what he had said.Off course they would,who slamms their own model. Apparently Aaruj Singh Rathore did.While leaving Zeeshan didn't forget to tell me to take care of my hand with a wink again.I guess he does that alot.I just smiled back.

"That guy will definitely injure his eyes if he keeps winking at people every now and then."said Aaruj.

"Why are you in a bad mood?I should be the one cribbing and lashing out at people after what you did to my best friend."I said meeting his eyes.

"Look I can explain. But now is not the right time."he replied as bunch of students arrived at our table again.I dropped the topic and greeted them.Then I started explaining the model.After that they moved to the table next to us.Looking at the model,I realised something.The lava was not coming out the way we had planned.It was barely noticable.I grabbed a bottle of vinegar and poured few drops in a solution.

"What are you doing Nia?"Aaruj enquired as soon as his eyes landed on me.I didn't feel the necessity to reply him.This made him angrier and soon he snatched the bottle from my hand.I snatched it back and put few more drops of vinegar again.Offcourse I knew what I was doing. At least I thought so.

But soon the Volcano started errupting. Errupting would be an understatement. It looked like it would burst out of the mountain any minute.To our bad luck, Mogambo and the judges arrived at our table the very moment.The volcano burst just in time and the solution was splashed all over mogambo's face.I covered my mouth in disbelief. Aaruj's eyes were widened with the fear.

We both just stared at his face from which our artificial lava was dripping off.The sight was really hilarious.Some students secretly clicked pictures of him.I was sure those were going to get viral on the social media.

To make the situation worse, I had commented"I guess when lava bursts you have to run in order to save your life."I earned a disbelieving look from my lab and project partner.Mogambo shot a glare at us and soon left with the judges.Aaruj and I looked at each other and soon started laughing like hyenas.We laughed till our stomach started hurting so bad.

Soon the results were out and we gathered at the stage which was built in the center of ground.Sasha and Pranjal waved at me from the crowd as they saw us nearing to the stage.She was pointing at Mogambo and was giving me you-are-dead-look.This made me erupt in a laughter again.I guess I had embarrassed myself thrice in a day cause everyone was looking at me as if I had grown a horn over my head.

The first price was announced and it was given away to the Modern college for making a robot who could cry.weird right!!But hey no one can beat the robot in the expo irrespective of whatever it does.The next announcement made me and Aaruj stare at the Judges and Mogambo with widened eyes.We had got second place even with the misery of our model.We hurried to the stage in case the judges change their minds again and received the trophy which had 'second winner' encarved on it.We got off the stage and made our way through the crowd.Now judges were announcing the third winner.

"What did just happen there? "Aaruj asked me.I looked at him and replied in excitement."We just got a prize for ruining Gupta Sir's face."We both jumped and screamed out loud in excitement and in the next instant I was engulfed in a hug.I was shocked as hell but did not move or hug him back either.Soon we heard a sound of coughing.We both pulled apart from each other.Our friends were watching us, Sasha,Pranjal,Warren,Rehan and not to forget the evil Jay.It looked like their eyes will bulge out of the sockets.I guess they had come to congratulate their friends who were supposed to be like the leaders of enemy countries and here we were hugging each other.

I am sure it looked like world war three as both the sides were shooting daggers at each other with their eyes.Soon Aaruj left with his gang.Sasha engulfed me in a bear hug and congratulated me.Pranjal too congratulated me"Congo Nia".We couldn't stop laughing as he was shaking hand with some other girl who was passing by us.She swatted his hands and gave him a disgusted look.After watching it,Sasha and rolled on the ground laughing so hard.Pranjal shot a glare in our direction and walked away.I guess he really needed new glasses desperately.
****************************************
A/N:How was the model?The expo is over but the excitement isn't.I always wanted to wear glasses when I was small cause I used to think they make you look smart.One of my friend was so obsessed with glasses that she made every possible efforts to get one.eg.watching tv by almost sticking her face to it and the mission finally accomplished now she hates glasses.But I still like them and she gives me this'are you kidding me look?'Do you had any weird or funny wish when you were small?^_^
