Part 2
He being a tea lover, was overjoyed that they had a similar interest. There was a tea stall nearby and he got two cups of tea. He observed that she was cold and shivering. He offered his jacket which she accepted. All the stars were getting aligned just for him. He wanted the concert inside to never end. They had a nice hearty conversation over tea, they spoke while having tea, after tea and they just talked as if they were the only two on this Earth. They didn't realise how time flew and that they had a chit chat for 2 Good hours. He was beaming with joy as he knew more about her now. Before others came she returned his jacket saying that she doesn't want to be teased. He was now amazed by her maturity. They decided to meet for breakfast at 7 am and post that for practice for dumb charades.
They were then joined by the rest of the party.
Even though there were others, in his mind he was holding her hand , and walking her to her room.
She slept peacefully like any other night but he was far away from closing his eyes. He didn't want to sleep he wanted to live this moment which he manifested so quickly. He was scared as well.
Not sure when he slept but when he got up it was 8. He know he was in trouble as she would be waiting in the cafeteria.
She was angry but she didn't retaliate and requested him not to repeat this. For her he was now a friend a role model and still her senior. For him she was now becoming his world, his reason for existence, his reason for existing, breathing everything.
Their third team member also joined and they practiced. She was a keen observer and it was easy for her to understand his cues clues during practice for dumb charades. But she could not see or was she ignoring the love in his closed eyes, his silent actions, his unspoken words, his wandering gaze, him trying to be near her .
She also started feeling a certain warmth around him especially after last night wireless connection when they spoke for hours together.
Their cammaderie was so obvious during the competition that these two single handedly won first prize. They gave the full credit to the immense practice which three of them did .
Now it was time for drama which he was participating in. Suddenly one of the actors started feeling uneasy and she was called to fill in. She a hardworking girl sat there reciting her lines, getting to know about her role, her character in the play. He was sitting far praying for her to rock this opportunity.
And she did, it was a small but an unforgettable important piece of act. She was applauded by her college mates, team , by standers, on lookers, passers by. She blushed as people came to congratulate her, it was as if she was a star. She thanked him for his tips, cheat sheet, helping in acting etc. He beamed with joy as they both were becoming lucky for each other.
