The birds were chirping and sun had arisen fully, spreading its bright color, which shew it was early morning. The sun rays were peeping in the room through the curtains. There was a single bed in a corner, a desk on the opposite side and a cupboard. The room was nothing big but yet lovely, giving a homely feeling.
On the bed, there was girl sleeping very peacefully. Her face beneath the pillow to prevent the sun rays to disturb her sleep.A person opened quietly the door and entered in the room, without making any noise. Why would the person make the noise as the mission was to disturb sleeping beauty's sleep.The person reached near her and brought the jug full of cold water in front and poured the water on her. The girls jerked up from her sleep and was fuming. She just wanted to kill the person who did it. She saw the sight in front of her. It was a guy, actually her best friend, and he was laughing uncontrollably, he took hold of his stomach and knelt down as he wasn't able to control but as he glanced at her, his eyes rounded, he knew he should start running so he quickly stood up.
The girl spoke glaring at him with an angry voice "How dare you Mani, to spoil my sleep, I won't leave you. You are gone today". She stood up and run behind him.Mani, Manik Malhotra, he is 18 a very lovely boy, cute adorable. His father was very rich so he is but he isn't a show-off type guy. Well you can say 'he is the one' and he was waiting for his love of his live to whom he can say 'she is the one'. Well for now he was running for his life. In the house.
The house was nothing luxurious, it was a decent middle class house. He arrived in the hall, where the furniture wasn't expensive but still cool and comfortable.He kept running, he reached in the kitchen and held the woman in the kitchen by her shoulder and hid behind her "Please Padma Aunty tell Nandu to stop, she is running after me to hit me" Padma held Manik's ear who winced in pain "aaahhh aunty please let me go, it pains".Nandu, Nandini Murthy, she was 18, some days younger than Manik; she was very cute and lovely girl. She was very simple, she wore only indian dresses and she couldn't take shit, she will shortly retort back and it rarely happened but when she got angry over than limit she said everything that come in her mouth. Even if she was simple you can say 'she is the one' and she too was waiting for her love of her life whom she can say 'he is the one.'Padma is still holding his ear and ask "say sorry first as I can guess by her wet clothes that you made her wake up by pouring water on her, so be quick.""ok ok, Nandu, I am sorry" Padma let go his ear. "It is ok," she smiled.Manik and Nandini hugged each other like friends and Padma sighed said "I can't understand why do you always fought like this and the next second you are teaming up against everybody even me.""We are best friend mom nothing and nobody can come between us and separate us" said Nandini with a hint of proud, Manik too nodded with same intensity.
They were proud of their friendship in every period bad or good, he was always there with her and vice versa. Well since they were 7 years old they had been together, inseparable. And Padma loved a lot Manik, he was a son to her. He came everyday to their house, day and night. If he missed one day of his visit there, Padma got all worried and prayed to god that keep him safe and fine. She would call a dozens of time, when he fell sick. She went to his house and did take care of him.Manik's mom and Nandini's mom were best friend despite of their social class."Now Nandu, get ready, we are getting late for college" said Manik. Nandini nodded with a smile and made her way to her room.While Padma made Alu ke paranthas for Manik and Nandini. They just adored them. Manik was a big fan of Padma's cooking even though his mom was a housewife but she can't cook the same. He sat on the chair, padma gave him parantha's"hmmm yummy aunty, I just loved it. You made the best paranthas, love you" He spoke with mouth full. Padma smiled as he hugged her. Padma looked at him and passed her hand through his hairs, Sometimes he did such a cute things that made you melt and made you fell in love with him."Hey I am ready" Nandini came from her room, ready in a green beautiful salwar kameez. She was looking very beautiful."hey Nandu, you are looking very gorgeous" Manik said after checking her from head to toe. Nandu blushed slightly, Manik has this effect on her. "thanks" Nandu replied back."now Nandu sit and eat" Padma ordered her. Nandini nodded and sat quietly. Nandini and Manik finished eating. Nandini rushed to her room, took her school back and they made their way out and then they sat in Manik's car "Mani I am so excited, haven't seen anybody of our college in those holidays except you" said an excited Nandini."I am also very excited" said Manik with the same excitement.It was their first day of second year in college, where there will be some new students, new classes, new teachers, new friends and few things will stay the same, like the same school, same teachers, same friends.They reached the college in fifteen minute. Nandini has told him lots of time she would come by taxi but he was adamant on his decision. So she gave up and he took her to the college. Before it was Manik's driver who drove them to the school and now it's Manik.Manik parked the car.
Nandini and Manik made their way toward their friends. Rishi, 18, fun and loving; Neha, 18, she was very bubbly; Arjun, 18, he was serious yet funny with friend, he adjust himself in the atmosphere; and Shreya, 18, she was just awesome, just like Arjun. They were some other friends whom they knew from less than one year but some friends they knew from long time. They were so happy to see each other. They discussed about everything they did in holidays, their new girlfriend, some gossips...They all gathered in a big hall, where all the student of second year were reunited as the head was going to make a speech. "Good morning student, I am Mr Kapoor as you know I am the head of the college..." he kept talking about morals, rules and then batches. Manik, Nandini had every period together as they wanted to be in the some profession, into business.
