"Enough Virat! I'm sure your mind is cooking up all sorts of stories here . It's just that you are really worked up since Maya isn't here . So, it's natural for you to doubt your love for her . Don't worry, everything will be alright once Maya comes back . " Sanvi muttered to herself rather than to Virat .
Virat shook his head and let out a mirthless laughter .
As if unaffected by Sanvi's words, he continued telling . " Then, when I saw her perform at our Fresher's Day, I was blown over by her delicate dance moves, especially her smile-filled expressions made me want her even more . "
'Dance! Dance! Dance! Arghh!' Sanvi was complaining inwardly . But she didn't let that show on her face and remained calm and expressionless like before .
Virat continued speaking unknowing of what was going on in Sanvi's mind . "I decided to make my first move . I went up to her and complimented about her performance . But Maya wasn't carried away by that . She very politely thanked me and left . I thought, 'She's very interesting . ' I realised she wasn't easy to please with just that one interaction . " Virat explained .
Sanvi was lost deep in thought . All this information was too much to process for her .
Virat continued narrating . Sanvi snapped out of her thoughts and paid full attention to what he was telling .
"By then even you were friends with Maya, I'm sure even you realised Maya was not the kind of girl who'd fall for anyone easily . In fact to be very precise, she hated men . It was indeed a difficult task to make her fall for me . But since I was determined to win the dare my friends had given me, I never wanted to give up . I played the 'I'm head over heels in love with you' card on her, which surprisingly didn't work on her . "
Virat momentarily paused and took a sip of his drink and continued to stare at the glass . "And then you know what Sanvi, one day Maya herself directly spoke to me, 'Virat please don't harbour unnecessary feelings for me . I can never return your feelings . I can never ever let a man in my life . I'm very happy in this small world of mine . I don't want you to hurt yourself because of me . You are a wonderful person, I'm sure you'll get the best girl . ' She said all of that in one go and was about to leave . "
"I didn't bother much since this is something every girl tries to come up with as an explanation to reject a man . Just as she was about to walk away, I caught her by her wrist and tried using the sympathy card on her now . " Virat was totally lost in the memories of their past .
He automatically took Sanvi's hand, tried to recreate that day . Looking into her eyes he said, "I very well remember everything which happened that day, I inched closer to her while she walked backward . " Here too, Sanvi unconsciously shifted backward .
"V-V-Virat what are you trying to do? I think we better sleep now . Let's talk tomorrow . " Sanvi stuttered and asked him weakly .
"Sssh!" Virat pressed his index finger over his lip . He looked into Sanvi's almond eyes, "My jet black eyes filled with tears looked into her deep chocolate brown eyes and said 'I love you . ' I could feel her trying to wriggle her wrist free . Just like how you are doing now . " He pointed at the way Sanvi was helplessly trying to free her hand .
Sanvi bit her lower lip and hung her head low . She stopped protesting .
