Chapter 5 - WATER BOTTLE

Kriti and Neha went to the canteen and ate some snacks from the canteen and then they went back to the room. Kriti was thinking about Aviraj. She suddenly wanted to know more about him, so she stocked his social media.

'He is quite popular in social media and also in the University.' Kriti said to herself,

'You are talking about whom' Neha asked Kriti,

'aaaa...nothing. Let's go for dinner?' Kriti said to Neha and changed the topic

'But...' before she could complete the sentence,

Kriti interrupted and said 'let's go' and pulled her from the bed, turned off the room light's and went ahead to the canteen.

When they entered in the canteen, they saw that the canteen was very crowded. Neha called Sumit and asked him where they are, while he said her that they are in the canteen sitting in the corner and he and Aviraj have already having their meal, they asked them to join. The four of them were sitting together and having their meal. Sumit and Neha saw at each other, giving some signs with their eyes and then,

'Hey, do you all want to eat ice-creams' Sumit said to everyone,

'Yaa...I want to eat' Neha said to him,

'I will go and buy for you guys... now say me what flavour do you want, Kriti? I know Aviraj's unique flavour so, I will bring that' Sumit said and looked at Kriti,

'Bring for me chocolate flavour ice-cream with extra chocolates sprinkle on it' Kriti said to sumit

'Really...' he replied and looked at Aviraj

'Yaa what's wrong with that' she asked him and looked at Aviraj

'That's what even Aviraj likes' he replied and looked at her,

'Ooo.....k' she said and looked at him while he smiled at her,

'And you, help me to bring ice-cream' Sumit said to Neha and looked at her,

'Ook' Neha said and holds his hands and went with him.

Kriti and Aviraj were having their meal together now, almost everyone in the canteen were staring at them. She looked at him while he kept on having his meal, both of them didn't said a single word for ten minutes,

'Why do you always leave the court, as soon as the practice gets over' she said to him breaking the silence between them,

'I just used to go to the room and freshen up and then to the library for doing the assignment' he said politely and looked at her,

'I know that you are doing your M.B.B.S., but still you should have spend sometimes with your friends or at least with your team mates' she said to him while drinking the water,

He looked at her and was about to say something

'Here is your ice- cream' Sumit said and looked at them,

'Take this you both' Neha said and gave them their ice-cream,

They took the ice-cream and were having. Kriti was busy eating the ice-cream while Aviraj looked at Kriti and smiled at her, as the ice-cream was spread all around her lips, he felt her like a small baby who eats the ice-cream without any care when they get, he was enjoying watching her eating ice-cream but when he saw around him, he notices that some of the boy's in the canteen were looking at Kriti,

'Take this and wipe your face' Aviraj gave her napkin and smiled at her, while Sumit clicked her picture and said her 'I will upload your picture on social media' and teasing her,

'If you dare, go ahead' she replied to him and then thanked Aviraj,

'Really' he said to her,

'If you do it then I won't let my best friend go on a date with you anymore' and smiled at him,

'Nooo... I will never upload, because of you she hardly goes on a date with me by now you should have someone Kriti" he said her with his big eyes and smiled at her,

'Let's go, we finished eating ice-cream' she said and then get down from her seat.

The four of them starts moving towards the hostel, the wind was blowing and her hair was messing around which Aviraj was noticing silently,

'Kriti, you didn't said anything' Sumit said to her and looked at her,

'About what...' she replied and looked at her phone,

'About being in relationship' he said to her, while Neha laughed at and said 'Sumit, she will kick you if you will say her again',

'I 'm serious about it, Kriti say me' he said to her,

'Okay... then now get lost now' she replied as she was about to enter in the hostel, she turned back and said 'goodnight Aviraj' and showed her tongue to Sumit and went inside the hostel,

'Good night, Kriti' Aviraj replied and smiled at her,

'Kriti...you are so mean you said goodnight to Aviraj and get lost to me, I hate you Kriti' and he hugs Neha.

Meanwhile Aviraj enjoyed the short cute fight between Sumit and Kriti and he feels that Kriti looks so childish when she fights with Sumit.

When Kriti and Neha went inside the hostel at that time, they noticed that almost everyone was looking at Aviraj and clicking his picture from their balcony or through their windows.

When they went to the room, Sumit notice that Aviraj's textbook was opened and instead of studying he was smiling continuously by looking at his phone

'heyy what's there in the phone that you are smiling looking at it haa show me also" Sumit said to Aviraj and came near his study table,

'No....thing.... go and do the practical' Aviraj replied to him and turning off his mobile phone and pushing Sumit to his table,

'I will do it later on, now I have to make a call to Neha' he said and called to her.

'Thank god, he didn't saw at the phone' Aviraj said to himself and started doing his practical.

On the next day, when the practice got over, Aviraj took his water bottle and left the court. Kriti looked at him and she was expecting that he will stay there and chat with everyone but this didn't happen so, she was a bit upset with this. When he was going he stops and looked at her from side and then he left the court. Kriti felt a bad as she was not expected this but then he just ignored him.

But after sometime all of sudden there was smile on Kriti's face, what she saw made her smile, she saw Aviraj coming. Since after the practice gets over, the team mates sit together and have their snacks along with soft drinks together. They were having the snacks, when Aviraj came and sat beside Kriti and took a sandwich and had a bite. Everyone was looking at him, while he said 'I was busy with some works that's why I didn't stayed with you guys after practice got over' and looked at his teammates.

'Aviraj, I saw you leaving the court so I drank you drink', Rahul said to him and offered the drink which he already finished half,

'It's okay I will have this sandwich' he replied to him and smiled at him,

'You can take my drink' Riya said to Aviraj and offered her drink while he replied and said her 'I don't want to drink. Thank you' and takes a bit of the sandwich,

Everyone was talking with each, couples were sharing their sandwiches and drinks, whereas Aviraj saw at Kriti and showed her the water bottle, at that time Kriti realizes that when he left the court the water bottle was empty so he went to fill the bottle she smiled at him back and takes the bite of a sandwich and drinks the Coco cola,

'Even me I want to drink?' Aviraj said to her, giving her a slide smile,

'But... I already drank this' she replied hiding her red cheeks,

'Can I?' he asked her,

'Aaa....' before she could complete her words,

He took the cane from her hand and drank the coco-cola she smiled at him and turned her face on the other side.

When Kriti went to the hostel, she was very happy that Aviraj came and sat with them she was in fact even more happy at the thought that he drank the cold drink from her cane which she was drinking and he didn't took the cane when Riya offered him. She was blushing at this thought and her cheeks became red.

'Kriti what's wrong with you?' Neha asked her, when she notices her face,

'Nothing.... What happened?' she replied to her,

'Don't lie, just now you were blushing and smiling, what happened' Neha asked her

'Nothing... may be my face is red because we came from practice now' she said and covered her face with her face towel,

'But...' before she could complete her sentence,

'Look at your phone, Sumit is calling go and pick it up.' She said to her and then she said to herself 'Thank god...' with a sigh.

At night when Aviraj was lying on his bed he was looking at his phone and was smiling. Sumit noticed him and thought of asking him but then he realised that last time when he asked him he didn't say anything and off his phone so this time he slowly moved to his bed from his bed and he snatched his phone from his hand and ran towards the bathroom and locked the door. Aviraj got up from the bed and went to the bathroom door and banged the door to open it. Mean while Sumit opened the door and said him 'I saw the picture' and looked at him.
