Chapter 7
Janvi heard a Knock in the middle of the night. She woke up rubbing her eyes, wondering who it could be. “Janu it's me! open the door” said Shilpa. “I thought you would have slept in Rajat’s room!” said Shilpa. “He was completely conked out… so I just left” replied Janvi.
The night passed, and everyone got ready and met at the dining hall. I think I’ve lost my phone somewhere… can you check in your room once, please? asked Janvi looking at Rajat. “Oh yes… here you go, it was on my bed,” said Rajat handing over the phone to Janvi. She took the phone from his hand and opened the gallery. She always had the habit of looking at her beloved's face before she start her day, she opened the "Wils" photo and smiled. The waitress brought them their hot coffee mugs. Janvi kept her phone down and helped the waitress. Rajat quickly glanced at the photo on Janvi's phone. He grabbed the phone and took a closer look at the picture. He put the phone back, but was lost in his thoughts, something made him feel antsy. “Hey, Earth to Rajat… you okay?? Drink your coffee before it gets cold”. said Rahul. Rajat spoke nothing, he quietly drank his coffee but his mind was muddled by the photo he saw on Janvi's phone.
“So…. What plans for today?” Asked Shilpa. “Hmmm” sighed Rahul sipping his coffee, “you and Janvi should decide…. what do you say?” Rahul questioned Rajat. “I don’t feel like going anywhere today, you guys can carry on,” said Rajat. He got up and walked away from there without even saying goodbye to anyone. “He seems a bit disturbed,” said Shilpa. “Yeah…. but he was okay until we came here” mumbled a confused Rahul looking at the back of his friend’s head as he walked away “ugh fine…. let me go talk to him” Rahul ran behind Rajat.
Rahul met Rajat back in their room. “why are you upset? Is everything okay?” Questioned Rahul. “I uh.. ahem” he cleared his throat before continuing “saw uhh…. a photo in Janvi's phone. I am just wondering who he is... like… you know what I mean. Like…why does she have his photo? and I noticed the first thing she did as soon as I gave her the phone, she was looking at his picture” Rajat blabbed on... “Oh my god!! Are you jealous??? Hahahaaaa….” Shrieked his best friend!” that's good news!!! looks like you have a crush on Janvi!!!” laughed Rahul. “You idiot!! stop talking nonsense!!” Rajat yelled at Rahul. “oh yeah? Why are you worried about who’s photo she was looking at? What’s it to you, huh??” grilled Rahul with a wide grin. “Dude the photo I saw on her phone….it was Wilson's,” said Rajat, his voice mellow. “Wilson? Who Wilson??” asked Rahul casually. Rajat sat on his bed and took a pillow to rest its arms on...“Wilson…. who was the reason behind the change in my demeanor”. “oh… OOOh!” his oh becoming louder after realization… “gosh! Wait.. bu… How could that be possible?!?!. “I think we need to know what's going on”. He said shaking his head “Come on let's go to ask Janvi”. “No…. that’s not a good idea… call Shilpa and tell her to come here…. let's check with her”.
Shilpa came to Rahul's room, she looked at the still upset Rajat. “What's up? questioned Shilpa... “Rajat saw a photo on Janvi's phone. We would like to know who is it? And why does she have his photo?” asked Rahul. “What photo are you talking about?? And why do you want to know about it? And how dare you look into her phone without her knowledge!” Questioned Janvi. “I will tell you later, please!! answer my question first” demanded Rajat. “But I don’t know which photo you are talking about! Shilpa snapped back. “When I handed the phone to Janvi, she immediately opened a guy's picture. It was like… that’s the first thing she looks at every day. I am asking about him” he explained. Shilpa’s frowned eyebrows relaxed…. She understood who they are talking about. she asked “but why?”. “I will tell you later, please tell him, who is he?” Requested Rahul. “He is Wilson, Janvi's ex-boyfriend” replied Shilpa. Rajat got up, flung the pillow away fuming with anger, not worried about where it landed or what it broke, and started pacing around the room. Shilpa looked at Rahul dumbstruck and whispered “what's wrong?” He dragged her out and said, “I will talk to you later, You be with Janvi … do not discuss, I repeat DO NOT discuss any of this with her” he sent her back to her room.
“Rajat this has to be discussed… don't hastily decide anything!!” Rahul tried his best to cool down his friend. “THAT GIRL!!!!, she is the one behind everything, I don't want to look at her face anymore!... I am leaving said Rajat and started packing`.
