Farewell

Rahi's P.O.V

It has been a week after my confession to my friends about my crush on Rohan. Both of them tried their best to help me to tell Rohan about my feelings for him.But as you know he doesn't even consider me as his friend so nothing actually worked out.

Since today is the farewell day I decided to stop thinking about him and focus on my clothes and makeup for the evening. After wasting two hours to chose amongst the two dresses which I had purchased together last month specially for today I finally decided to call up Shrisha for her suggestion. She is the only one in this universe whom I can ask for help when it comes to picking up dress, makeup or hairstyle. She is good in that stuff.

"Hi Shrisha"

"Yo buddy.. ready??"

"I can't even chose a dress"

"What the hell... only two hours left for the party to start. What are you waiting for?"

"I know.. just choose between pink and black"

"Haa??"

"C'mon hurry up.. tell"

"Black"

"Oh ok.. bye.. see you in two hours"

And I hung up the phone.

After wearing by black gown which was backless and looked exactly like the one which princesses used to wear in the animated movies which I used to watch when I was a kid. I paired it up with huge ear rings and decided to go with red lipstick and high heels.

It took me more then an hour and half to get ready. When I came down from my room. Everyone in the house was looking at me amazed because I had dressed up like that after a pretty long time .

Mum came to me with a rose in her hand and told me to place it in my hair.

After placing the rose I took a last look in the front camera of my phone and asked mum to drop me to school.

When I reached school I realised that I was late by fifteen minutes and the event had already begun. I tried to walk as fast as I could with my high heels and huge gown.

After pushing the door open I realised that everyone was looking at me with a shocking facial expression. I tried searching for my friends when suddenly people on the last few tables started clapping. I took a deep breath and started walking towards them when I realised that the clapping was started by Shrisha and everyone followed. It was quite embarrassing but you can't help it when you have friends like Shrisha and Isha.

As soon as I reached near the table I realised that Rohan was sitting with my group which included Isha,Shrisha and Shrisha's friend Karan.

Karan is the guy who has a crush on Shrisha since eighth grade but could never open up his feelings for Shrisha because he was scared that Shrisha might boycott him from her life. But he was a good friend of Rohan and I suppose that is the reason why Shrisha and Isha chose to sit on the same table.

I gave Shrisha a suspicious look and she returned it with a wink which made me laugh. I went forward to sit on the chair which was empty between Rohan and Isha.Shrisha was sitting on the other side of the table with Karan. All of them were dressed very well. Shrisha was wearing a red coloured dress with a deep neck which ended above her knees. Isha was wearing a floral dress with light makeup and looked cute in it while Karan was wearing a blue colour shirt and black trouser. Rohan was wearing a black tuxedo, with a neck tie and looked amazing.

After I settled down Rohan gave me a lopsided smile and continued to focus on what was going on on the stage. I looked at him for a while trying to reason out what was going on in his life because I could make out he had transformed in the past two months. He had stopped talking to his old best friend George, had rejected around five proposals in a month and was hardly seen on the basketball court. Maybe he wanted to concentrate on the exams.

The next three hours all of us chatted about the upcoming new films which we wouldn't be able to watch, took a few selfies together, commented on others outfits and laughed on how teachers were getting very furious by looking at the length of the dresses which girls were wearing even though they had mentioned it on the invitation card with bold letters that girls should wear descent clothes and boys should wear fomal. Most of the boys were following the dress code but not even one girl was wearing a dress which was below her knees and had no deep neck.

Suddenly Viren who is Isha's ex turns up to our table. Everyone is surprised looking at him when he asks our permission to join us. Before we could react he sits beside Rohan and keeps a ring in front of Isha and asks her out. He apologized to whatever Isha had to go through in the past because of him.

Isha gets a bit nervous and looks at my and Shrisha's face. We smile at her which indicates that she should say yes.

Isha looks into Viren's eyes and hold his hands. Viren is a bit confused of how to react and looks at Isha with a puppy face.

All of us look at both of them surprised when Isha suddenly says ' Appology accepted and so are you in my life'.

After the farewell was over we decided to go out for lunch. Everyone was walking towards Karan's car when I heard Rohan calling out my name. I turned behind to see that he was sitting on his knees with a rose in his hand. I was totally surprised to see him in that position. My heart was beating with a speed of hundred per minute. But then he spoilt the total fun by saying that the rose fell down from my hair. How could I be so dumb to think that he would propose me.

I took the rose from Rohan's hand after he stood up and said that he won't be able to join us today as he has to go out with his mother at his aunts place. I asked him to join us for at least an hour . He did not say anything but just shook his head. He turned back and walked towards his car. Shrisha and Isha both caught my hands tight when I could see his car moving away. This was the last time I had seen him.

After reaching to KFC all of us preferred to sit in the corner, I was a little upset and did not converse with any of them and continued eating my burger. After a while Karan announces that he has to say something important. All of us pay attention to what he is saying.

"Shrisha I'm sorry that I couldn't plan a good proposal for you like Viren did for Isha. It's been two years since I started liking you. Everyday i decide that tell you about my feelings towards you but I was always scared of losing you. But now I think that if not today then maybe never. So Shrisha the point is that I love you and want to love you forever. So... will you be my girlfriend?" Karan says in one breath.

"Are you sure?" Asks Shrisha with a suspicious smile.

"Yes... of course."

Shrisha stands up and hug Karan while he was sitting on his chair with a wide open mouth. All of us start cheering and whistling.

After we finished all of us started to walk towards the exit. But now both my friends were holding the hands of their respective boyfriends. I felt like I was being left alone but at the same time I was happy for them. Then Karan's driver dropped all of us back to our houses.
