As the days passed, Raj was able to sense that something wasn't right between him and Sapna. She was less enthusiastic in talking with him. Already he got very little opportunity to talk with her. Now it was confirmed that Sapna was involved with Raghu as she used to spend most of the time with him now. Raj still wasn't able to know how he should react in this situation. Whether he should be angry as he didn't have any inkling of it before? But then he thought about his crush on Maitri. Even he did not tell Sapna about it. Why she would have bothered to tell him then? Then he would feel a pinch of jealousness. All that time in the initial months of the session would float in his mind when she used to spend most of the time with him. But then, she was never his girlfriend. He had always thought her as any of his other male friends. So, there was no reason to feel jealous.
But there were other big issues bugging Raj. The approaching mid terms as well as the final exams. The whole class was very busy these days in finishing up the assignments, files and completing all the drawing sheets as exams were not very far. Raj was facing a great difficulty in getting rid of the drawing stuff. He was already lagging behind the class as far as no. of sheets completed were concerned. On top of it no one was willing to give their sheets to anyone to take home. Raj was somehow managing the things, coming colleges everyday and bunking classes to finish the work before college gave any deadline. He still had a considerable amount of work left when college came out with a deadline to submit all the assisgnments.
Raj could take care of all of the subjects except for the drawing for which he needed help. He now needed the sheets desperately to complete the work at home only. Now he needed Sapna the most and he believed she wouldn't say no. So when she hesitated a bit Raj was surprised.
"But I was thinking of getting them checked tomorrow and proceed with making the file of them." She said
"I will give you sheets the day after tomorrow. You know my drawing is poor and time is so less. No one else is ready to give their sheets to me. You are my only hope. Please!"
In the end Sapna gave Raj her sheets reminding him to take care of them & return them day after tomorrow. Raj was happy, not for one but two reasons. He would be able to complete his drawing work on time now and Sapna still trusted him enough to hand over her sheets. The doubts in his mind had cleared a lot.
But his happiness left him in less than 12 hours. Raj had decided to skip the college next day to complete the sheets. He was about to get into his bed when his mobile buzzed. Sapna had called him asking for her sheets the next day.
"Tomorrow?" Raj was shocked "But I had told you I would give you back on friday. I was planning to skip the college tomorrow for completing the work. And why suddenly you need them? You have completed your work na."
"Ya. But Raghu has said that he will get my file arranged by saturday if I give him all the shests tomorrow. If that is done I wont be coming to college from monday. So you please bring those sheets tomorrow." and Sapna disconnected.
Raj couldn't believe what he had heard. Was it really Sapna? She knew what kind of situation was he in but didn't care for him at all while asking for the sheets. The mention of Raghu's name had made him angry and he could feel the reciever of phone against his ears getting hot.
He silently put the phone down and began to think how things have changed in his life. But then he remembered that now he didn't have the luxury of doing his work by taking help of other's. He must carry on his work on his own.
