章節 5: BEING ENVIOUS

Ayan was in his room. He was finding something in his drawers and his eyes caught a beautiful card, it was a handmade card and it was filled with love and appreciation. Ayan took out his collection and he was watching them with so much affection.

Ayan doesn't know who was sending him those gifts from the last few years but he could guess that it was a girl who was his biggest fan because those cards were telling their stories.

Ayan tried to find out who was sending but he could never know. So Ayan just started collecting them in faith that one day he would find out about this girl but he was surprised because from last month he didn't get anything of these types. He put all those gifts and cards inside with a smile and went to get ready for college.

Jhummi and Suhani were sitting in a cafe and sipping cold coffee as Jhummi's phone ranged, it was an unknown number and as jhummi picked the call she heard a familiar voice.

Before she could ask something he said,

"I m waiting for you at court come there in 5 minutes", and he cut the call, Suhani asked,

"Whose call it was" as she saw surprised expressions of jhummi,

"It was Abhimanyu's call and he is waiting for me at court for practice", jhummi said,

"Ahaan woohoo someone is getting calls from a damn hot boy of our college" Suhani teased jhummi,

And jhummi little blushed and said, "It is nothing like that stupid he is asking just for the practice nothing else so stop running your naughty mind here and there", Jhummi said and left,

Jhummi changed her clothes and directly went for practice. Abhimanyu was sitting on the bench, he was staring at his mobile and smiling like an idiot. As he noticed Jhummi's presence he quickly put his phone down as he doesn't want to show.

He cleared his throat and said a very formal hello offering his hand. Jhummi happily took his hand,

"It is our first day of practice and you are late", he said and Jhummi felt a little embarrassed as he noticed and he quickly changed the topic.

"Let's start", he said and Jhummi nods her head,

They started playing and Abhimanyu taught her so many things in detail which Jhummi didn't know and he taught her so many tricks also. Jhummi was so happy with today's practice.

Ayan also went court for practice but he didn't show up, he was staring at them from distance. He saw her eyes were shining in pure happiness and how that Abhimanyu was flirting with her and how she was blushing and laughing all the time.

He was feeling irritating, annoying, and angry at the same time. His mind was yelling to punch that bastard Abhimanyu on his face and break his nose. But again he doesn't want to put a bad image.

So he digests his anger and calmed himself. Abhimanyu offered Jhummi his drink, Jhummi hesitated and tried to deny but he gave her and she took it. This was something more for Ayan to tolerate. He fists his hand in anger.

It was lecture time and Jhummi changed her clothes and reached to class. Suhani waved her hand and she took the seat beside her. Suhani asked her,

"How was the practice with Mr handsome", in a teasing tone which made jhummi blush again, and Ayan noticed this, he was angrily staring at her and she was scared with his intense gaze.

After spending the whole day with Suhani Jhummi went to her home. She was happy and chirping like a bird.

But as she entered inside she felt instant pain in her head as a sharp bottle hit her head and her head started bleeding, tears were felling down to her eyes and a loud cry escaped from her mouth.

Her father was cursing her for being late and he was using abusive words for his own daughter. Neel was coming down from stairs and he instantly ran towards her sister.

Neel pushed his father away and scoop Jhummi and took her into his room. He cleaned her wound, it was not that deep but he bandaged it carefully.

"Hey it is not that big deal, just do not worry okay, it will be fine soon", Jhummi told Neel, but Neel's face was showing how sad he was.

Jhummi ordered the cake to surprise Neel and she was waiting for midnight, it was Neel's birthday.

Jhummi always wishes him first because he is the most important part of her life. When the clock showed the right time Jhummi went into Neel's room and as expected Neel was waiting for her dear sister.

Both cut the cake together and shared a peaceful hug. Jhummi wished him a lot of happiness.

The next day Jhummi waked up so early in the morning and she made Neel's favorite pasta for breakfast and she also packed it in his lunch too.

Jhummi packed some pasta for Suhani too because she liked a lot the food jhummi makes. Jhummi was happy because it was Neel's birthday and she wants to gift him something special.

After finishing the work Jhummi took a shower and wore a beautiful white crop top and black Jean with black flat slippers. Jhummi doesn't like heavy makeup and all so she just applied her Kajal and lip glow. Neel and Jhummi both left home together and Neel dropped her college with a bright smile on his face.

Suhani was waiting for her at the entrance and she instantly stopped Neel and gave him a hug and wished him the warmest birthday. Neel was so surprised with an instant hug so he just told thank you shyly and left. Suhani noticed herself that the very first time she hugged Neel and a blushed appeared on her face which Jhummi noticed instantly.

They both get inside the college with Chatting and laughing. Last evening Jhummi won the title of Ms. Fresher so many people know her now. When they cross the corridor so many girls passed a smile to them but some of them were not happy to see them like they snatched something from them.

But Jhummi was not like others so she passed a smile to everyone. And they both went to attend their lecture.

They both took seats and Abhimanyu entered. Abhimanyu took an instant view of the classroom and he took the seat near Jhummi. Only 5 minutes were left for a lecture when Ayan walked into the classroom with Raghav his smile vanished from his face when he saw Abhimanyu near Jhummi.

Whenever Ayan sees Abhimanyu near Jhummi his blood starts boiling and his eyes become red due to anger. Raghav pet Ayan's back and told him to calmed himself and Ayan took the seat behind Abhimanyu.

In college, everyone was excited about the upcoming tournament. This tournament is very important to Jhummi as well Ayan and Abhimanyu too. After all three of them will represent their college.

The coach was also doing hard work. He was training three of them and telling them how to use strength against the opposition team. Jhummi's focus was on every single word which the coach was saying but Ayan's full focus was on Jhummi.

Jhummi was avoiding Ayan's gaze. After the coach finished the practice session,

"Can we practice some more time", Jhummi asked Shrishti and she nodded her head,

After 10 minutes Shrishti received a phone call and she left Jhummi alone. Jhummi took a seat for rest but Abhimanyu came from another direction,

"I want to practice for some more time", said Abhimanyu, and Jhummi just nods,

They practiced together approx one hour and Ayan was watching them. Ayan doesn't know why he is boiling in anger and why does it matter to him if Jhummi is with Abhimanyu.
