When they reached home it was a late night. Roman said to his father, “I am going to sleep now, I am very tired.”
His father said, “I am also too tired, you went to sleep. I am also going to sleep we will talk tomorrow about today’s party. Good night, son.”
“Good night, dad.” He starts walking toward his room. He changes his clothes and sleeps.
His dad comes to his room in the morning. “Wake up, john. Otherwise, you miss your classes. You are already late, wake up.”
“I am too tired last night, dad. I don’t want to go to college today. Next time you plan such late-night parties, make the program on weekends. Now let me sleep. I will not go today. “John said to his father. His dad closes the door and went from his room.
John was sleeping while his mobile rang. He picked up the call and said angrily, “who is this?”
“It’s me john, roman. What happens john? Why are you so angry today?”
“I told you yesterday I am going with my dad to a house party. It was too late last night. I am so tired. I am not going to college today. You went college and after classes contact with me.” John replied.
“Ok, I will call you after classes, bye,” Roman replied and john sleep again. He goes to college and attends his lecture. After the first lecture, he goes to the cafeteria with the other boys of the class. They all are talking about the last day spent in college.
They asked roman, “why john is absent today?”
He replied, “He was at a house party last night. So, he didn’t come because he was tired a lot.”
One of them said, “he is as delicate as handsome he is.” Everyone starts laughing out loud.
“I heard that beautiful people are unfaithful.” Someone in the group said.
“But John knows how to make friends,” Roman said to them.
“You can say that beautiful girls are unfaithful, not handsome boys.” Someone in the group said.
“You are wrong, not all the beautiful girls are unfaithful and some die but do not even think of infidelity. You have no idea of a woman love yet.” Roman replied.
“Yes, roman you are right but a woman destroys herself in love and others in hatred.” Someone in the group said.
“Yes, then don’t say that a woman is unfaithful. Infidelity is done by one who has no love in the heart. It can be anyone either a boy or a girl.” Roman said.
“In my opinion infidelity is a sin. If a third person could be involved in love. Then God could create many gods to love them as we love Him. When God himself does not tolerate infidelity and third person in love after being so merciful and gracious. Then how we can tolerate this even we are not equal to a grain of sand in front of him.” Someone in the group said.
“Give him a cold drink, he has become emotional,” Roman said to the group while lightening the cigarette. Everyone in the group starts laughing.
“Have you ever loved someone roman?” someone asked roman. Kriti enters the cafeteria. Roman looked at her. She looked very upset. Roman stand up and said, “not yet, but it looks it will happen now.” And start walking toward her.
“Hey, Kriti, I am roman what happen why are you so upset?” roman asked Kriti.
“My handbag is lost somewhere, here is my mobile and a lot of precious things in it,” Kriti said to him.
“Don’t worry, it will be found. Where did you go, try to remember?” roman asked her.
“When I left class, it was in my hand, I remembered, then I came to the cafeteria. I didn’t go anywhere else.” Kriti told him.
“Sit on the chair, drink some water.” He gave her a water bottle she drinks water and start crying.
“Don’t cry, relax now try to remember again. Where did you go after classes?” Roman asked again.
“I didn’t go anywhere else.” She told him.
“Ok let’s go, we start searching it from your class.” He starts walking with her toward her class. They search the whole class but they didn’t find it anywhere.
Kriti said, “I told you when I left class it was in my hand.”
Roman said, “Now we will go from the way you go to the cafeteria.” They start walking.
In front of the washroom, he asked, “You didn’t go to the washroom.”
“I remember, I went to the washroom after class as well. Let me check inside wait.” Kriti said to him and go inside to search for her handbag. She comes outside and hugs roman tightly.
Roman asked, “What happen? Is it found?”
“Yes, it is, thank you so much roman, I won't tell you how happy am I! Thank you so much.” Kriti thanked him.
“Never mentioned, I will always be here for you,” Roman replied him. Kriti leaves him and stands in front of him.
“If in future you need any help you can call me. I will be happy in helping you.” Kriti said to roman.
Roman smiled and said, “How will I call you? I don’t have your number.” She smiled and gave him her number.
Roman asked her, “Do you want to eat something?”
“Don’t you have any class now?” she asked Roman.
“Who cares about class, let’s go and eat something from the cafeteria. I will give you a treat in the joy of getting your handbag back.” Roman said to her.
“You help me a lot the treat will be from me.” She said to him.
“Ok, let’s do one thing. Let’s go to the cafeteria first.” Roman said to her and they both start walking toward the cafeteria.
In the way, he told her, “We will bet. Like, if a boy came in the cafeteria, then I will give you a treat and if a girl came you will give me a treat.”
“It’s a good idea.” She spoke. They both are walking while roman saw his class fellow standing there. He quietly signals him to follow them. He starts following them. They reached the cafeteria and sit on the chairs and start watching the door.
As roman planned his friend enters the cafeteria and roman said, “yes, I won now I will give you a treat.” He saw his friend coming toward him. He signals him to go back but Kriti saw him.
She asked, “You told him to follow us.”
“Why will I do this?” roman replied. She called that boy and asked, “Why were you coming here?”
“I was not coming here.” He replied.
“Don’t tell a lie. I saw roman giving you a signal to go away.” Kriti said to him.
“Roman signal me to follow him while I was standing outside.” He replied. Kriti told him to go and start staring at roman.
She asked roman, “Why do you do that?
He replied, “I don’t want you to pay for the first time, we meet. Please let me give you a treat this time. Next time we will bet fairly.” They both start laughing.
Kriti said, “Next time we will not bet. I will pay next time, this time you won although you played unfairly you won. So, you can give the treat.” They both start talking about each other while eating. After that, they both spend the whole college time together. When the college ends, they both walked toward the gate and say goodbye to each other.
Roman starts walking toward his home while he calls john. He answers the call and said, “Yes roman, are you free now?”
“Yes John, I am free, now I am going home,” Roman replied.
“Ok, do one thing come to my house. Let’s have some fun together.” John said to him.
“Ok, I am coming,” Roman said and end the call. He starts walking toward john’s house. Suddenly mischief flashed through his mind.
He calls Kriti and said, “Did you recognize me?”
She replied, “Are you roman?”
Roman laugh and said, “Yes, I was just checking that you pick my call in the time of need or not.”
She laughed and said, “Why will I not pick up your call as you are so sweet and helpful. I told you if you need any help, you can call me. I will be there for you.”
“Ok, I will inform you whenever I need help,” Roman replied. “Did you reach home or not.” Roman further asked.
“I live in a college hostel. Now I am in my room.” She replied.
“Why are you living in a hostel? Where are your parents?” roman asked.
“My parents died when I was ten years old. My uncle doesn’t like me, he just pays my college fees. His son has a dirty look on me that’s why I am living in the hostel.” She replied sadly.
“I am sorry about your parents. Our pain is the same my parents have also died.” Roman told him.
“I am also sorry about your parents. Ok, I have to go now. I will talk to you later.” She said to roman sadly and disconnect the call. Roman is about to reach john’s house while his mobile rings.
He picked up the call and said, “Yes John, I am about to reach.”
John replied, “Can you please bring a pack of cigarettes with you.”
Roman replied, “Sure, just coming in five minutes,” he ends the call and buys a pack of cigarettes. Then he starts walking again. He reached john’s house and rings the bell. John opens the door and said, “You reached, let’s go inside.” They both stepped into the house.
Roman was looking all around and said, “You are living a very luxurious life.”
“But this glorious life also becomes boring when there are no friends in life. In my opinion, there are no friends in life. Life is because of friends.” John replied while walking toward his room.
He said to roman, “You are refreshed then today you will taste my hand.” He smiled and sit on his bed.
“Ok, by the way here are your cigarettes.” He gave him a pack of cigarettes and went to the washroom. John lightens the cigarette and starts puffing. When roman come, he went downstairs and went to the kitchen.
He asked roman, “What do you like to eat?”
“I want to taste something special of your hands,” Roman replied.
“Would you like to eat pasta?” John asked him.
“Sure, why not?” roman replied. When they were in the kitchen john’s father came.
John said to his father, “Dad, meet my class fellow Roman. He is like you invest money to earn money.” His father shake hands with him and asked about the way he invest.
He also gave him some investment tips and said, “If you need any guidance in the future, you can take my help. Well, make it your home. Whenever you want you can come.”
Then he asked john, “You have fed him something or not.”
John replied, “I am going to make pasta for him.”
“You are so lucky roman; you got a chance to taste john’s hand. We only get one once a month.” John’s father said to roman. Then he further said, “You enjoy your day, I am going in my room.”
He went to his room and roman said, “Your father is a great businessman. He clears all the things about investment so easily, now I think I can do better.” He starts looking how john's cook and said, “I hear a lot of praise for your cooking, let’s see what you will do today.”
“You go sit on the dining; I am coming in a few minutes,” John told him while smiling. Roman went toward dining and john bring pasta to the dining table. He offers roman to take first.
Roman taste it and said, “Mind-blowing, really you have magic in your hands. I have never eaten such tasty pasta before. You should have a chef. Wow, wonderful taste.”
John laughed and said, “Thanks but I only cook for myself, not by professional.”
“Seriously, you had a fantastic taste in your hands,” Roman said.
“Thanks, let’s finish this. Then we will watch a movie.” John said to him. Then they both finish their lunch and went toward john’s room. They both lighten the cigarette and start watching the movie.
During the movie, john asked, “What will you do in college the whole day?”
“Nothing, I just take only one lecture. Rest I was in the cafeteria the whole time.” Roman replied. Then they complete the movie and roman said, “Ok, I should go now.”
John said, “I will drop you home.” They both get up and start walking toward the car.
