At Convocation day-
Bondita is impatiently waiting for Anirudh because her heart was not ready to believe that he will not turn up on her big day. She is sitting with her best friends but her eyes are stuck at entrance. Graduation ceremony started. Academic Procession, Welcome address and other formalities are done, Vice-Chancellor started the presentation of awards and degrees in alphabetical order and soon he announced.
I am pleased to announce that for the 2nd consecutive year in our university a girl student is receiving the Gold Medal for her excellent academics and rationality skills "Ms. Bondita from India". Please give her a big round of applause to come on the stage to receive this prestigious award and say few words behind her success.
There was loud applause on this announcement.
Ross and Rachel cheered her.
She walked across the stage. Shook the Chancellor's hand with right hand. Took her cylinder degree in left hand. Paused for the picture while shaking the Chancellor's hand and holding her degree. Botox smile on her face was powerless to plaster the nervousness on her delicate face.
She slowly moved towards Podium she once again searched for him in the audience and yes her man made her grin like a Cheshire cat. Anirudh was sitting in the middle of authority members. Now with the proud smile she started-
"Hello Everyone, Good Morning!! This is not only my dream which came true today but this achievement of mine will inspire n no of girls in India to come forward to achieve their dreams. I would like to thank all my professors, many staff, friends for sorting my problems, with the help of your all I am standing here because of this l feel privileged and once l will return India l will be working for "Women Empowerment". A special thanks for Professor Robert and his wife Jenifer who took care of mine like his own child, My roommate Lily who handled all my tantrums and my Best friend Ross, whose family is like my family now.(aur Anirudh ka dil dhadka thoda yeh sunne k baad), my girls gang Rach, Amanda and Anaga. l thank to my precious and beloved family which is India, helped and supported in my thick and thins to achieve this honor. And last but not the least my special friend who is from India and is also present here to witness my reward Mr. Anirudh Roy Choudhary(a wide smile appeared on her face)".
Thank you !!
The hall was echoing with the great applause.
She walks down from the stage the sheer confidence and magical aura of hers was enlightening the path.
The most beautiful Indian girl wearing a black rob on her coral blue color saree and hood color perfectly matching with her hair color passed by Anirudh Roy Choudhary and sat in students row with Ross and Rachel.
***** "Anirudh's racing heart and broad smile on his face was not ready to settle after all this, he wants to meet Bondita asap" *****
The ceremony ended after some time. She is standing with Ross and talking about something. When Anirudh stepped in.
Anirudh(clears her throat)-"You seem very busy but can l speak to you ms Bondia for some mins?"
Bondita(hugs him in excitement)- Patibabu aap !! kab se intzaar kar rahi thi mai aapka par aap hai ki un budhe logo k pass se aa hi nahi rahe the.
Anirudh- laga toh nahi tum intzaar kar rahi thi mera.
Bondita- ab yeh kisi ko smjha pane ka koi tarika hota toh accha hota na.
Anirudh- lagta hai yeh tumhare best friend Ross hai?
Bondita - Han pati babu mera sabse accha dost.
Bondita calls Ross- Hey Ross, come here.
Bon to Ani- Here he is my best friend Ross. (Both passes smile to each other)
Bon to Ross(blussingly)- He is my special friend from India Mr. Anirudh.
Ross and Ani shook hand and exchanged smile .(but Anirudh's smile was the jealous one),
They are having formal discussion but Anidita were not leaving a chance glance eachother.
Meanwhile Bondita's roommate Lily interrupted them by saying-
"Bondita, Shivam is looking for you?"(Lily knows Shivam because Lily is her roommate and have met him once or twice)
"Som ka dost, Shivam" Anirudh asked with a second's delay.
"Kya Patibabu aap bhul gaye ki woh mere bhi dost hai aur London me hi the toh maine unhe bh invite kiya tha."
(His jealousy vibes can be seen on her face but he tried to act normal)
Bondita quickly goes and came back with one gift .
Anirudh - Itne jaldi aa gayi tum?
Bondita- han maine unse kaha aapse milne k liye par unhone kaha ki unhe kahi aur bhi jana hai toh woh yeh gift dekar chale gaye.(She handed over that gift to Anirudh which is still gift wrapped)
Anirudh to self- Yeh mujhse mile bina Q chala gaya. inhi harkato ki vjah se mujhe pasand nahi hai shivam. Jab dekho tab Bondita k sath rahna chahta hai pata toh hai woh shaadi shuda hai phir bhi aur mai uska pati hu. Aur ab yeh alga namoona Ross chipka hua hai Bondita k sath jo dikhne me toh sach me handsome hai aur degree bhi honous me pass ki hai.
Bondita (while snapping the fingers in front of his face)- kaha kho gaye aap patibabu, mere baki friends se toh miliye.
Bondita introduces Ani to Lily, Amenda, Anaga, and Rachel.
Rachel(in teasing tone) - Hi Mr. handsome, Ooo So you are that special one who lives in our Bondita's heart.Nice choice Bondita!! (Anidita blushing)
Anirudh(flirtingly)- By the way Rachel ... you look gorgeous too.(Bondita gives him angry look).
Rach- thanks Mr. Ani. so would you mind if l ask you to stay in my farm house as our guest house is still occupied.
Anirudh- Why not? It is completely my pleasure. and winks at her.(Bondita pinches in his stomach) and interrupts the conversation.
Bondita(with fake anger) - Rach be happy, Anirudh babu will be staying in your farm house only. you only know that how many proposals l have got on farewell day i will be accepting one of them.
Anirudh- okay !! I got your permission too and smirked.
This cute bickering between friends continued until ceremony ends. They bid aidue to their college life with moist eyes and left for their respective places.
Finally Anidita got some space after this busy day.The first moment they were far from others eyes she hugged him tightly and he reciprocated back with same energy. Tears dribbled down on shoulders of each other they released each other from hug, Anirudh wiped tears from Bondita's eyes with caress and he did the same then they exchanged the purely caress forehead kisses.
(This was the first hug of my story's Anidita)
Kiss Location- The passage area which is void after convocation ceremony where Bondita has witnessed so many couples kisses in her college days and has dreamed of this perfect moment which is happening now.)
