Her Secret Smile (#2)

1. Love is extremely uncontrollable Siddharth! Siddharth!! Siddharth!!! Everyone in the crowd were roaring his name but he seemed to be calm. Looking around casually his eyes searched for someone among the crowd and there suddenly his search ended when he saw her. Taking a quick glimpse he turned his attention to the game. Hearing his name all around her, Roshini’s throbbing heart echoed more than that shouts while looking him. Her eyes swinging here and there with each and every step he is taking. His eyes were fixed on that ball that he's going to kick, he rocked his hand before running, she can feel how much he's tensed but his face remained tranquil. She bite her lower lip when he kicked the ball, it is a penalty shot. If it is a goal then their computer science department will win the overall trophy of this sports meet. Her eyes widened when the ball was almost caught by the goalkeeper but thankfully he didn't succeed. She left out a small sigh seeing that and she smiled to see the small smile on his face, Siddharth he won. Not only in the match but also her heart a long time before. Everyone started enjoying the victory and his teammates carried him on their shoulders. This time he smiled showing his teeth. Her heart raced to see that, it is very strange and unbelievable for Roshini since she never ever experienced this kind of pounding feeling seeing anyone else than him. Why it has to be him? Why is it always him? Roshini questioned staring at him fixed. "What a player he is!" Nidhi exclaimed looking at him mesmerized. "Yeah, he is a good player," Roshini agreed in a low voice still watching him and she can't take her eyes off him. "He's really talented, he only kicked all the goals for our team. I think he's going to be the best player of this tournament," Nidhi added. Hearing that Roshini nodded her head. "Even last time he got that award right?" she told and stood up from her seat. "Let's go Nidhi, we should catch our bus," she added but Nidhi was not in the state to get up. "Hey wait Rosh, shall we go there and congratulate him. Look our class girls are there," Nidhi gave an idea to talk with him but Roshini immediately banned the offer, she doesn't want to show herself that she is admiring him. And she doesn't want to give a chance for others to think that she is having a crush on Siddharth, the prince charming of their college and the most handsome guy that she has ever seen. Due to Roshini's compulsion, they walked out of the stadium, and the time is about 6.00 pm in the evening. Roshini and Nidhi traveled on the same bus as their houses were located in the same area. "Hey what you're going to do this Sunday?" Nidhi asked checking her phone. "Nothing, we are having assignments and I am planning to finish that," she answered gazing out. "We still have this entire month. Oh god this is why you shouldn’t be a friend with a class topper," she groaned. "Ok, then what you want me to do?" "Let's go for a movie this Sunday, please." Thinking a minute Roshini said yes. She too wanted to go somewhere it is very tiring to study and stay in the house all the time. "Okay then I will catch you Sunday at 11 am," she told and they reached their bus stop. They walked together chatting about some random things. Nidhi is a complete entertainer, no can feel bored around her. And Roshini is very lucky to have a friend who always reaches out her hand when she needs any help. She met her at the college, the only person who gave a space for her to sit next to her. They shared a lot of common things and main importantly she has something that made Roshini feel so happy around Nidhi. Roshini doesn't have any close friends in her school days since she concentrated more on her studies than making friends. When they reached Nidhi's house, she waved goodbye and again reminded Roshini to be ready Sunday. For that, she nodded her head as sure. It has turned almost dark when Roshini reached her house, a street away from Nidhi's house. She sat on the concrete slab at the entrance of her house and removed her slippers sighing in a frustration. She felt something strange today, a feeling of extreme jealousy while seeing those girls and even Nidhi admiring Siddharth but at the end she has to pretend like she is normal. Roshini, studying her second-year computer science engineering in a most reputed college in their city. She worked really hard to get into it, her college is one of the topmost colleges in her city for engineering, and only toppers can get into this. In her college life, she liked everything but one thing she never intend to do was liking Siddharth. She felt a sudden sparkle of crush when the very moment her eyes stuck on him, in fact, he's the first person she met in this college, Every time Roshini found this odd as she never believed in love at first sight. But reminding that moment she has to agree that can happen anyway….  That was Roshini’s first day to this college she is little confused about how to reach her class since she entered via another entrance near to the playground. That time she can't find anyone in her way, out of nowhere she found a guy walking before her. She scurried near him smiling. "Excuse me," He turned and she took a step back stunned to see the handsome creature standing before her and looking her in a ‘What?’ expression. The first time in her life there this sound ‘Lub-Dub’ heard as a background music. "Do... you… know where is the first year… computer science class?" she sounded like after running a marathon. She felt so ashamed and awkward. Gazing at her for a second, "Go straight and turn right, in upstairs your class," he directed. Before she could thank him he walked away from her then in a few seconds he vanished from her eyes. Then she went to her class, everyone was talking among themselves, she searched for a place but no one gave a welcoming gesture for her other than Nidhi who is sitting on the second desk. Nidhi smiled at her and asked her name. Then they introduced themselves. The day kick started this way, their class professors came and informed about the subjects and gave an intro to them. After a lunch break, three guys came into their class like bosses. Roshini’s eyes widened to see him again her heart started to beat faster, she stared at him and when he saw her she turned away like she doesn't know him. He started to speak, "Hi everyone I am Siddharth your senior studying second-year," he said and smiled. “I am the department chairman if you have any doubts or anything you want to ask you can come and meet me in my class when there's a break,” he added. Then talked about professors and their participation in the events, Roshini not even listened to anything he says and just stared at him. Then girls behind her asked his number and he wrote his number on the board for everyone to see. Then other two boys shared the same, they all wanted them to socialize with others and to participate in every competition. Then they all left. Roshini just smiled knowing she can see him often and every girl in her class noted his number but she didn't because she doesn't want anything to fill her mind other than her studies. Even though she built a wall around her heart but Siddharth broke every single brick and filled in her heart, mind and soul. She tried her best level to suppress her growing attraction on him but only ended up in a dismay. It was her first year-end time there's a football match she was in the library when Nidhi messaged her to come to the playground Roshini halfheartedly decided to go there. There was a huge crowd on the football pitch there both boys and girls and even some professors were there and enjoying the match since Siddharth is playing. Roshini called her to ask where she is, then Nidhi came to escort her since she has already put a spot on the bench so they went and sat in that. "Why you called me?" Roshini asked her. "Hey today is an important match you know Siddharth is playing and our department is going to win," she almost screamed that. "Oh," Roshini said and looked around to see where Siddharth is, he was standing there and looking at other players and signaling them to stand at correct position. Seeing him she smiled. Roshini never showed her admiration for Siddharth to anyone, especially to Nidhi. Then the match went well Siddharth got two goals and won the special trophy. Every girl in their college was shouting his name and Roshini stunned by his manipulative attractiveness, really he's something, she thought. At that moment she accepted him as her crush. The first year went off like this she got two chances to talk with him, but just about event preparation. And he asked her name in one of that meeting. He was really a great leader and Roshini like his friendliness among others. But in that same time, she heard about that he had three girlfriends in the two years and he's a brat, playboy etc. so she stopped to think about him and thought she should stay away from him. But whatever she does she couldn’t deny her attraction……   When she entered her house her mom welcomed her with a warm smile, Roshini's mom was a housewife and a very strict woman.  "I am going to temple do you want to join me," she asked by combing her hair. Roshini shoved her hand as no. “I am having work," she replied and went to the bedroom, where her bro was sitting and studying for his upcoming exams. "Hey!" "Hi, how was your exam today?" "Good, but lost one mark," Karthik said. "Oh so sad," she smiled in a mischief. Her little not little, he is taller than her, is working really hard to pass the NEET exams. He's studying two sets of the syllabus and making sure that he's well versed in everything. His ambition of becoming a doctor is going to come true soon and Roshini is already feeling so happy about that. But still, this society and this education system are pressurizing youngsters getting their dreams. And in that, Roshini and her brother is not an exception. Her dad is working in the railway, they are a small family yet the happiest. Her parents are very strict when it comes to education, and because of that Roshini and her bro were always good in their studies. She decided to go to engineering because of her dad, he wanted her to be an engineer. And now she loves this field. After finishing off her dinner, Roshini laid on her bed and reminded about today's match and automatically Siddharth his smiling face came before her. She doesn't know whether it is good or bad but he's making her weak, weakening her with his charms.
