Beep,beep the phone rang almost being in a half sleepy mode I got up and realised its just 6a.m.Rubbing my eyes I checked my phone it was Tanya's call, by the time I could pick up the call I realised that I have already missed it.I called her back again.
"Morning bae,don't tell me your still sleeping" said Tanya
"Dude who wakes up this early and its the last day of my damn vacation" I replied.
"Exactly!its the last day of your vacation and tomorrow you're gonna leave to set up a new life,so now wake up and I'll see you down in 15 minutes"she said in a very enthusiastic voice.
"Okay I'll call up Rishika and Sara too I said.
Rishika is my most amazing friend simple and sorted,away from all melodramas and the most sensible person in my group.In short my expert advisor
Sara is just opposite to Rishika she's quite hyper excited in life sweet and caring and the most innocent in my group.
Tanya is somewhere moderate she's both smart and a dumbass, my partner in crime and we always end up taking wrong decisions together.
I went down to the park and I saw Tanya and Sara waiting for me.
I still wonder how do these people manage to look so fresh even at 6 in the morning.
Unlike me who looked like a person who was hit by a truck while running through the hurricane.
What's up people? Where is Rishika?I asked.
"Rishika is late as usual she'll be here in the next 5 minutes" said Sara.
"Damn I could have slept for an extra 5 minutes I'm so sleepy all thanks to Ria for waking me up this early"Sara said in an annoying tone looking at me.
"But Tanya woke me up" I said with an innocent puppy face trying to defend myself.
"Hey girls! What's up early in the morning?"Adil asked
Adil is the hot bomb shot of my society,6 feet tall with a muscular physic obviously cause he's a gym freak with a French bread.
"Nothing much Adil, we just planned for a walk this morning and Rishika is late as usual so we are waiting for her. replied Tanya.
"Oh cool!Why don't you people hit the gym I mean we all can work together"he said trying to promote his gym.
" I would love to join you Adil" said Sara in her hyper excited tone.
"But she can never continue it. I mean you get it right,how busy Sara is"said Tanya trying to cover up Sara's emotions.
"Oh well yeah i get it.Anyway i got to go I'll catch you guys later"and Adil left.
"How can someone look so hot all the time he made my day" said Sara with a blushing face.
"And someone was sleepy"I said in a sarcastic tone looking at Sara.
"Hey guys! I'm sorry I'm late let's start?"said Rishika.
Well Rishika looked messed up too well she's the only person who accompanies me with my hurricane look and makes me feel better for that.
We began to walk.
"So Ria aren't you excited for tomorrow?" Rishika asked me.
"Nope dude I'm kind off nervous,it's a new place,new friends like I don't know will I be able to adjust"I replied
" Come on you'll not find Alien's there they all are humans so you gotta relax" replied Tanya.
"Yea but its completely a different place first of all its in the outskirts of the city so basically no nightclubs,no malls,no pizzas or pastas I got nothing there except for tress and animals everywhere" I said.
"Bae then who asked you to join a Med college which is away from city somewhere between the forests, I mean you got better options here as well after all your purpose is to become a doctor not a Tarzan that you're going to a jungle for your course" Sara said with a sarcastic laugh.
"I know it dude,but I don't really have any option now so chill" I said in a depressing voice.
"Look if you aren't willing to go then we can still sort this,nothing is greater than your comfort, your happiness Ria" Sara said turning towards me.
"Well the only strong reason that she has opted that college is cause its one of the best med school in the state,so guys I think we should motivate her to adjust with the situation instead of running away or looking for an alternative" Rishika said
"I think Rishika is right Sara and its not really far away from the city you can keep visiting us quite often and the only drawback you got is you don't have MCD or Dominos there that's good bitch you'll loose some weight" Tanya said trying to cheer me.
"Yeah!that's true" I said with a smile showing that I was convinced.
"Anyway what are your plan for today people?" I asked.
"Well I have to go for my driving license today" Tanya said.
"I'm going to meet my grandparents it has been really long and I have promised them that I would meet them before the vacation ends"said Rishika.
" My schedule is so packed today first I have an appointment with the dentist followed by a brunch date and then maybe I'll go out for shopping "Sara replied.
"Oh cool!You guys are so busy today" I told them looking at them with an expression that would justify how immaterial my last day in town was for them.
"Dude come on,you'll be back soon so chill its not a big deal" Rishika said.
Yeah!ofcourse,I got hell lots of work today,you know right packing etc etc.. I said trying to cover up my reaction that I wanted to stay with them.
"Okay guys we'll meet up at the terrace tonight to wish Ria luck for her new journey" Tanya said.
Yeah!replied Rishika and Sara.
Yeah sure! I rolled my eyes at them and left.
I got back to home and saw my mom was packing a bag which only contained food.
"Mom what's all this?" I asked with an frown on my face.
Its all your snacks,I'm quite sure you're not gonna like the food in the mess there so this is just for any emergency " my mom said placing a box of biscuits.
"Emergency? What emergency will I have there?Mom I'm going to a med school not for a world war that you're packing so much of food for any "emergency."
"Well that's none of your business I'm packing these stuffs for you if you don't eat them then just leave it the only thing you should be worried about is how are you gonna manage to wake up early and attend classes on time." Mom said adding another box of sweets for me.
I would definetly look like a trader with that bag and I could imagine myself quite well.
I went to room picked up all my basic stuffs and placed it in my bag,I looked at every corner of my room and realised how much I'm gonna miss this place.
Arranging my other stuffs its was almost 4 in the evening and then I got a call from Sara.
"Dude where are you please come to the venue that I have forwarded you WhatsApp right now,I need you man" Sara said in a freaking out voice.
"Sara is everything okay?Are you fine?What happened? I asked her in a paniced tone.
" Bae I'm fine but please cone as soon as possible "Sara said.
" Give my 10 mins dude I'll be there"I said .
Wondering what had happened I went clueless about my outfit and hair and just rushed with my bike keys to the located sent by Sara.
I reached the destination is less than 15 mins and called Sara
"Dude where are you?" I asked Sara.
"Come to the 2nd floor" she said.
I entered a hotel and saw Sara standing there.
"What happened dude is everything okay?" I asked her.
"Come here"she said and took me to a room.
I pushed the door and entered the room and there I heard a huge crowd of voice shouting SURPRISE.
I was awestruck that moment. All my friends were standing there with a banner written " We are gonna miss you Ria".I almost had tears in my eyes.
I hugged Sara and Tanya came running and saying "dude it was my idea".
"Hey I'm there too" said Rishika.
The party was on all my school and college friends were there.
Everything was fine until my crush Ayush came.
"Hey!Ria I'm so sorry I'm late" he said.
Ayush was my senior and the topper of my senior batch in college, good looking with an amazing senses of humor and a kind heart he had all the qualities that an ideal Prince charming would have.
As soon as I saw Ayush I realised what a mess I was,cause I rushed up to this party wearing a casual jeans with a normal tee,thanking my dearest friend Sara for giving me no time to dress up and I landed with my hurricane look in front of my crush and this time not even Rishika was there to accompany me with my hurricane look.
" Ayush!That's OK you've made it here it means a lot to me" I said him with a huge blush on my face.
I got no clue why all my brain cells die after looking at Ayush probably cause I crush on him.
Whatever it is he gives me those butterflies in my stomach feeling.
Thinking that I would leave the town tomorrow at least for the next few months I dared to ask my crush for a dance.
"Ayush!would you like to join me to the dance floor?" I asked him with a nervous smile.
"Sure! Why not" he said and held my hand and we moved to the dance floor.
Well expecting it to be a romantic couple dance I went to the dance floor and then Tanya shouted to the DJ "man can you play a few of Bollywood item songs".not realising that I got there with the crush of my life.
The DJ played an item track and I had no other option other than dancing like an idiot with the beat.
And all the while Ayush just kept repeating the same steps again and again.
He still looked cute anyway.
After the dance I sat with Rishika,Tanya and Sara.
" Guys you know how blessed I am to have you all in my life" trying to thank them I said with a voice which made me sound high.
"Yes you are freaking blessed to have bomb shell like us" Sara said with a giggle.
"Dude promise me that distance won't ruin our friendship" I said in a serious tone.
"Are you mad Ria we are gonna stay the same forever" Tanya said.
"Exactly you don't have feel so senti about it Ria" said Rishika.
"But still dude" I said in a grumbling voice.
"Okay,let's promise that we'll call up everyday and tell every crap that's happening in our lives" Tanya said.
"OK done promise" Sara said.
"Promise" I replied.
"I have no clue when you guys are gonna grow up anyway promise" said Rishika in a weird irritated tone.
"That's like my girl"I said Rishika and hugged her.
" OK its getting late you have to leave tomorrow let's go back home guys"Sara said.
"Yeah"!its quite late let's leave I said.
And we headed back to our homes.
