Chapter 12 - I am at ease with the world

"How are you my idiot?", Rashi asked.

Until now I Felt like time is slowing down but just from now I am at ease with the world, I wanted to say.

"Fine, what about you?", I asked.

"With dry eyes from lack of sleep and busy with books", she replied.

"I can see that topper, what is your branch?", I asked.

"I took Civil Engineering and what about you?", she asked.

With a slight pause I asked,"You said that, when we were in school, that you are interested in Computer Science and you will become a Software Engineer,".

"Yeah but I like Civil Engineering, let me guess your branch", she said.

"Ok", I replied clearing the throat.

"Mechanical or Civil Engineering, I think", she said.

"No, Computer Science", I replied with a weak smile.

"Are you interested in Computer Science?", she asked with raised eyebrows.

"No, but the girl I like was interested in it, so I took Computer Science", I replied with a sarcastic tone.

She laughed thinking it as a joke and I too gave a fake smile knowing what I said isn't a joke.
