Athira Patel

All the dresses from the cupboard are splattered everywhere on the floor due to Sahana's misery to wear the best dress for her latest crush called 'Karthik' making me and Charitha sigh in defeat looking all around the room. It took her almost 40 minutes to decide the dress she wants to wear, where we just sat on the bed looking at her frustrated figure.

She selected the dark blue colour maxi dress which is sleeveless with collared neck with a small oval-shaped opening at the front of her neck and have the zip on the back, from stomach it mixes with white color with small diamonds prints combined with black and blue colour on her frock which flows below her knee and contrasts her upper dark blue colour. Her dress is simple but elegant and it suited her white colour skin tone perfectly.

After what felt like forever Charitha completed doing makeup for Sahana. She made a simple makeup with dark eyeliner making the eyes look even bigger than it is and a little blush to her already red cheeks completing it with nude colour lipstick. Her hair was left open by making small curls at the end. Sahana looked beautiful with her dress and little makeup. She wore large diamond-shaped silver colour earrings with a small chain around her neck and a watch to her left hand. Lastly, she completed her look by wearing white colour pointed heels.

I am sure that Karthik is going to faint looking at her this way. I am eagerly waiting to check the reaction of Karthik.

"Wow Sahana, You look beautiful. I am sure that Karthik is going to faint on the spot looking at you like this" I said getting up from the bed and going near her to stand in front of her.

"God, this little idiot here is blushing" teased Charitha looking at the blushing Sahana who is trying desperately to cover her face from us. Poor girl. I looked at her in amusement thinking that any girl however strong or weak can still blush at one or the other time.

"Common Charitha. Don't tease her. Give me your phone, will take a picture of her." I asked Charitha forwarding my hand in front of her where she placed her mobile on my hand. I took it from her and took the full pic of Sahana who is posing to us looking shy.

"I am very curious to know the reaction of Karthik you know." I started teasing her now by smirking at her to which she pouted becoming shy all over again. "I want to see if he gets rooted to the spot or grabs you to him by kissing passionately," I said winking at her to which Charitha laughed seeing Sahana's priceless reaction. God this girl here today is completely different from what we see her in her usual form. She is a gone case when it comes to Karthik. I smiled looking at her.

"Shut Up you both. Now stop pulling my legs ok." She complained trying to give us her death glare but failing miserably. "Ok, I know that I am blushing like a tomato. But can i do? The thought of him seeing me like this is making my nerves freeze" she said mumbling and fidgeting with her fingers. We can see clearly that she is nervous and excited at the same time.

We both hugged our shy friend from both sides by assuring her that we are with her and everything will go according to plan. Then after a few moments we too both got dressed and Charitha started doing my makeup.

Charitha wore a yellow colour maxi dress with printed flowers on it. It is sleeveless with a full neck and slightly back open. She is looking cute and innocent in that dress. Her hair was pinned to one side, which is straight and wore golden colour round hangings to her ears with a bracelet to her left hand and matched it with golden colour heels. Her makeup was nude with a dark eyeshadow and pink colour lipstick.

When she was done with my makeup, I looked at myself to find another girl looking at me. I never wore makeup. Mine was only eyeliner and lip balm always. But today these girls forced me to comply with their wishes and made me wear it. And i am not regretting it because for the first time I think that i am looking beautiful.

I wore a white-coloured maxi dress with full sleeves and printed big flowers of different colours on it which reach till my ankles. I left my semi curled hair open to falling it till my waist by wearing the pearl earrings and matching bracelet by completing it with white colour wedges because no way in hell that i am going to wear those killer pointed heels. Those are not in my dictionary.

While we both were getting ready, Sahana called Dev and Karthik to join us in the restaurant at 7:00 PM where we will be reaching there before one hour to set our plan into action.

All of them got ready by the time it was 5:30 PM and we all left Charitha's house by locking it and taking Sahana's car to the restaurant. I have heard that the restaurant is a very big one with a bar and dance floor too where couples and families come on the weekend mostly.

After 20 minutes we reached our destination and once Sahana parked the car we all went inside to our reserved table and were waiting for her so-called friend who is going to help us in this plan. Meanwhile, I started exploring the hotel with my eyes from where I sat. Hotel is designed classically with golden and brown colour walls and doors with the same matching furniture which indicates its elegance and shows how old it is and standing so proudly which captures everyone's heart with its beauty. All the waiters were given brown colour uniform which matches their theme and giving it an earthy look by keeping the plants at every table which is used as a border between the two tables.

After some time there came a man with his ever dashing smile and cute dimples on his face. He looked so handsome and at the same time innocent. He came and took the seat beside Sahana by shaking her hand and hugging her briefly with a smile which got the attention of both mine and Charitha. Then we recognised him as the helping friend of Sahana's.

"Girls, this is Jay. About whom I was talking with you and Jai, this is Charitha and this is Athira. My friends" Sahana introduced us while smiling and we both shook our hands with him by smiling. I admit that he too is handsome and I can see clearly that Karthik will get one hell of a surprise if he is having feelings for Sahana.

"Hai girls. It's nice to meet you. I didn't think that i am going to meet these three beautiful girls today which made my day even more heavenly. I am glad for it you know" he said smiling by winking at us.

Haa. he is a flirty type which is a package with his handsome face. Interesting...

"You are one flirting type right," Charitha said while smiling fully at him to which he smirked at her and accepted by nodding his head.

"Well, one needs to be flirt to make girls swoon for us you know," Jay said rather self confidently feeling proud of himself.

Hmm... he knows his looks and he is rather perfect using them to his convenience.

"Ya, i can see that. And even the girls who are already swooning around here" I said smiling at him and indicating him around us where girls are drooling over him to which he laughed wholeheartedly.

"You are one observer right," he asked looking at me with a smile on his face to which I nodded my head in agreement.

"That's nice. So Sahana, tell me what can i help you with?" he asked becoming serious and looking directly at her.

Sahana started explaining to him about the plan where she will introduce Jay as her close friend and where Jay tries to flirt with her and flatter her with his cheesy lines and even tries to touch her at every given chance. The main aim is to get Karthik jealous of Jay and need to make a move on Sahana. Surprisingly Jay agreed to help in our plan and Sahana squealed making some of them look at our direction.

"Oops... Sorry" she apologised looking sheepishly at us with an excited smile on her face. Her eyes and face are glowing like anything.

"God... this girl got to head over heels for him," said Jay looking at Sahana with an expression of shock and smile on his face to which we both nodded our heads in agreement.

Girls. I have a question here. Can you please clarify it?" he asked looking so confused that we didn't get what happened suddenly to him so we all nodded our heads in agreement.

"It is the same Sahana who used to break the faces of the boys or girls every time that got this shy and mushy over a guy whom she met ten days back? Because i think this is not the girl and she might be her twin sister or something" he said so suddenly that for one moment we all thought it was so serious but then we realised what he was asking and burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, Sahana looked flushed and angry at the same time that she is not getting how to react and at last, she got up and punched Jay in the stomach that he rolled to the side by clutching his stomach with his two hands.

"God woman. Thank you for the proof of being Sahana but you don't need to be this wild to prove it you know" he said further teaching her too which we continued to laugh where tears started rolling from our eyes and were unable to breathe. Oh god, this guy is awesome.

"Arghh.... You ass... Keep your mouth shut you, idiot, otherwise, i will kill you here itself" warned Sahana looking at him by giving the death glare to which he surrendered his hands.

"Ok ok. Sorry. Now calm down maa. Don't wanna see the wild Sahana here when your crush is going to come at any moment" he cooed her like a baby by placing his hand on her head to which she swatted away his hand and glared at him.

After some glaring contest, Sahana diverted her eyes and looked at us with anxiousness in her eyes.

"Guys i am so nervous," she said looking at us while biting her lip. We can see that she is feeling nervous. Who would have thought that the brave Sahana would become the nervous wreck when it comes to feelings.

Feelings can make anyone become weak and anyone become strong at the same time. It has that power to make all of us become puppets to it. And now Sahana became one among that.

But I have a gut feeling that the feeling is mutual and even Karthik likes her a lot from the day one itself. It might be only because of her reaction towards Omisha on her first day that he didn't take a step towards her. Hopefully, now he will get the indication and react to it wisely. Because i don't know-how for how much time can Sahana control her nervousness and anxiety around him. I hope everything goes well according to the plan.

I placed my hands on her hands and squeezed it gently assuring her that everything will be fine. "Don't worry Sahana. Everything will be ok." Charitha too side hugged her while smiling and pinching her cheek.

When Charitha was encouraging Sahana, both Dev and Karthik entered the hotel and were looking here and there. No one on the table saw that they have entered so to make them alert i informed them "Guys, they came" and showed them with my head towards the entrance. Immediately everyone looked towards the entrance when Dev too looked to our direction and waved his hand and both of them started coming towards us.

I can see from the corner of my eyes that Sahana took hold of Jay's hand in nervousness and then after a moment of searching Karthik eyes landed on Sahana making him freeze on the spot for a moment which made Dev turn back towards him with a question in his face to which he nodded saying nothing and both of them came to hear our table by standing in front of us.

All the while Karthik's eyes were on Sahana without diverting it or blinking it. We all know that he is captured by her beauty and was not able to take his eyes from her. But when his eyes landed on her hand which took hold of Jay's hand made him make a tight fist on the side of him which made me and Charitha smile secretly with a knowing look on our faces because sure enough, we can see the jealousy in his eyes.

Dev, who was unaware of the things going on silently took the seat beside me and glanced at my secret smile with a question in his eyes. I shook my head and directed my head towards the scene before us silently and he turned to them to watch with a confused look at first but then he realised slowly and gave a knowing smirk at my direction.

"Hi, Karthik" greeted Sahana trying to get him out of the stance with a nervous look on her face which bought him out of his anger and took a seat beside Dev and Sahana controlling his anger.

We all can see the silent glares he is throwing at Jay all the while intimidating him but Jay is Jay and he smirked at Karthik making him get boiled even more.

God this guy is impossible. But is exactly what we need it right now. Good choice Sahana.

"Hai Sahana. You look beautiful today" complimented Karthik looking towards Sahana with a look of adoration and dreamy in his eyes.

"Thank you" murmured Sahana while playing with her dress in her lap by looking down. God this girl is gone.

"Ya, beautiful isn't it. I said to her almost 20 times from the last 15 minutes. You are gorgeous Sahana" Jay said looking at her winking.

Charitha cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "So guys, What would you like to order," she asked everyone when the waiter came and stood at our table. We all ordered the roti's and two curries first with the soups and starters.

"So tell me Sahana, why is this party all of a sudden" asked Dev looking at Sahana curiously.

"Today is my mother's birthday so I thought of giving a party to you guys since it's a weekend anyway," she said looking at all of us and lingering her eyes on Karthik for a moment longer.

"That's a good idea Sahu. I love spending time with you." Jay said again which is making Karthik getting annoyed as hell i think.

"Sahu? I think her name is Sahana. Not Sahu" interrupted Karthik glaring at him to which he laughed.

" Oh ya i know that. But Sahu is cute and beautiful just like her. Right Sahu?" he asked winking at her to which she blushed making Karthik anger raise more.

"Convey my wishes to your mother Sahana," Dev said smiling genuinely at her.

Then the topic started about our project and then it went to our childhood days where we all shared our sweet memories. We all got to know that no one was silent at the childhood and everyone's dream was to become a designer from the childhood days itself except for Jay. He accidentally got to this field when his brother suggested him. We even got to know that he works with us but in the Architecture department and Sahana knows him from the first day when she accidentally met him at the entrance. Our food came and we all started eating and were sharing our memories about our college days but we can see that Karthik was stealing glances at Sahana every given time and was shooting death glares at Jay when he intentionally touches Sahana getting a reaction out of Karthik.

Jay started flirting openly with Sahana to which she too acted like she was interested and was laughing at every joke he was saying. We thought that Karthik was getting annoyed and irritated because of Jay's flirting and was feeling jealous but we didn't think that we will receive this kind of reaction from him. It was shocking to all of us that we got rooted in our spot with shocking faces on all of us.
