For the last few days after rahul asked me for my number, things got awkward between us. I didn't meet him from that moment on maybe he is avoiding me or maybe he is so busy that he doesn't have time to meet me. What am I thinking, he never reached out to me to talk. I'm the one who always initiates the conversation and goes to talk to him. Today too I was waiting for him at the entrance of the college before it started. He normally arrives half an hour early. As I see him arriving I go towards him.
I get off the bus, stretching my arms and legs I let out a yawn.
Aahhh I'm so sleepy I mumbled. I wipe my teary eyes with the palm of my hand and put on my glasses moving towards the college entrance. As I reach the college entrance my junior Shruti comes towards me with a pouting face.
Hi I sign
Why are you avoiding me and my messages you . She signed first thing as she saw me I got really nervous from that sudden question.
I ? I don't avoid you and I don't know anything about any message I. I sign explaining my situation to her.
You don't know about message you? She signed with relief on her face as she was no longer angry with me.
I swear I didn't know I I sign
Give me your phone you she sign
I looked around every passing student was looking at me and Shruti as we were arguing couple.
Let's talk at the cafeteria shall we? I sign looking here and there. Shruti followed my gaze and realised the situation and we went to the college cafeteria.
I ordered coffee and red velvet pastries for two people. As I get my order I take it and move towards the table where Shruti was waiting for me.
Here its for you I keep a pastry on the table and offer her one of the coffee and take a seat.
Give me your phone you Shruti sign.
Okay okay. Here I hand her my mobile and averted my gaze to watch my surroundings.
Shruti was doing something in my mobile I was little nervous because I have my personal things in it but I choose to trust her and my mobile security for my secret collection to be safe. What I'm a healthy college Student! Everyone have it in there mobile it's normal okay!. Back to main topic I take a sip of coffee. It feels very refreshing.
Shruti hand over my mobile and sign
It's my number my.
I looked at the number and realised I got a message from that number a while ago.
Ohh I don't know that. I was busy preparing to competition I. I signed
It's okay now she sign.
drink coffee before it's get cold okay? And don't forget about cake, it's for you.
That way we finish our small meet in cafeteria.
When we were moving towards the class I remember I have something to give to Shruti.
I take my bag off from my back and take out two books named " how to read people's like a book " and " law of human nature " and hand over to Shruti.
Read this books before starting leap reading it will definitely help you. I sign I'm not a specialist but the book I recommend was about understanding the human nature and it's surroundings so it will give a perfect idea to reader how to act if they can't hear.
Okay I will try but how much it costs? Shruti sign asking me the price of books.
It's on me, consider it's a gift from your senior. I sign because taking a money from my junior kinda feel pathetic.
Shruti hand over me books signing I don't need gift from senior. Why she is doing that I don't know but I only get that she take these books if only I get money from her.
Okay okay it's cost me 1000rs okay. I sign
She opens her bag and takes out the purse and give me a 500 rs two notes and then snatch books from my hands.
See you later she sign moving towards her class and to respond to that I also sign see you later. I don't get what happened here quite well but I do get to know that Shruti know how to treat man equally for sure.
