Two days later,
Sia—the roommate who loves to hear herself sing—is rushing around the classroom , gathering pens, pencil, and her notes. I’m set on the last site o the last row, opening up my books but rather than reading that book I am enjoying the weather outside. Today, the weather was drizzling and somewhat I was liking the irritating voice of Sia, suddenly I was gathered with the thought of that boy that I met on the first day.
“ Would you like to go to the canteen with me ?” sia asks
"Yeah, just a minute " I replied.
I quickly gather all my scattered notes and then we move towards the canteen.
I ordered a sandwich and a milkshake and Sia ordered an orea shake. After I order reached our table, a notification popped up on Sia's phone,
"All the students who enrolled themselves to be a part of the music society need to come to the music room in 15 minutes."
"I need to go", she said.
I nodded my head and said all the best , even though I knew she was not going select but by seeing her sparkling eyes and the happiness in her mouth, that was the only thing I could say.
She quickly grabbed her shake,and moved towards the staircase.
Now , I was sitting alone in the table eating my sandwich and enjoying the weather, I usually hate silence but somewhat today I was enjoying it. I think someone called me from behind I turned around imagining something romantic would happen in this lovely place, but nope, he was the shopkeeper asking me to pay my bill. I gathered the money and moved towards the counter.
" Sorry , but we did have the change for 2000 rupees,can you just give me 150 only?" The shopkeeper said.
" But, I only have 2000 " I replied.
" Hmm, you can Paytm or Google pay me " he replied.
" But I don't use any digital payment " I replied
"Rupees 150 credited to your account , the payment machine said"
"I have paid the money from her side ", a heavy voice from my behind said.
I quickly moved to say thank you to him, but till then he moved so far that only I could see his back. Wait a minute, his appearance matched the appearance of that e rickshaw boy but what is he doing here I said to myself . Is he study here ? No, he can't be that man , and if he could be also he wouldn't remember my face either. I remember his face. All I remember was , in this right hand there is big scratch match I wanna ask him that day but he was busy, but this boy could not be him all though the voice are a bit same the appearance is the same, but he can't be that boy , he can't.
“Why are you still here?” sia asks.
Oh I ...I was just trying to see where the boy is going.
" You was just what ? Naina and where are you looking? Are you okay? " She asks
"Yeah! I am totally fine I just finished my breakfast and was enjoying the weather , I am bored from looking to the classroom for 3 hours straight", I said.
" Yeah! I know the lecture was too boring today. "
" And how your interview goes? Were you selected ? "
" It was great, the result will be out tomorrow and I am pretty sure that I will be selected ", she said.
I smiled and pretended that I agreed with her, but I also know that tomorrow I need to come with the tissue paper because she gonna cry so hard if she is not selected .
"All the students are requested to gather in the auditorium right now.
Thank you !" A voice came from the speaker .
I and sia moved towards the auditorium. This was the first time I was entering the auditorium. I know the fact that my college auditorium is very big, so I was excited to see it from my own eyes. I opened the door and it was f*****g soo big, literally soo big that after all the students were sitting, there was a lot of space left.
"Good morning everyone ,
I welcome you all to s and s University one of the best universities of India were people dream of coming and it is really special that you are sitting here so firstly I will like you to introduce you to the secretary member of our university " principal of the university said.
Then, one by one all the secretary members came on the stage and gave their speech, and at the last one boy climbed the staircase of the stage. He was tall, dark and handsome, that anyone could got flat for him so do he is wearing the same clothes of the man that paid my money in the canteen. I wanna see his face but I didn't able to see his face properly due to bad lightning in his face. He was slowing-down climbing the stair and so do my heart to see him and then he took the Mic and now all the light was flashing on him.
"f**k! Holy s**t is that really him?"I said to myself.
"He is really that man? Whom I met on the e-rickshaw. No! This can't be true , I know I want to meet him someday, but not that soon",
but then I realised he was knew me because clearly that day on e rickshaw he was soo busy that he could barely notice me , I said to console myself.
"Hello everyone!" A heavy and sweet voice came from the mic, I have to say that is voice totally matches with his appearance.
"I am Raghav Mishra, your general secretary "
And after hearing the word "general secretary", I was numb somewhat I can digest the fact that he is in the same college as mine, I can digest the fact that he is my senior, but "general secretary". I knew the fact that someday I would have to meet him and the interesting thing was the words he just said were by looking into my eyes.
" could this be a mistake? Or maybe I just misunderstood it " I said to myself.
But then one more thing happened. He literally wink at me .
Like dude, how can you do this in front of everyone ?
" Naina ! Did the general secretary just wink at you now?" Sia said to me.
" No ! No! Not at all why he will winked at me maybe he wink at someone else"
" But I too notice that he winked at you " A guy sitting in front of me said.
" I think then might you two have to increase your number of spectacles?" I said in an irritating way .
" Okay ! Chill" sia said.
All those 15-20 minutes soo long that I just wanted to go out if I could or have the guts but all I could do was count the number of ceiling .
Finally, this is over!
I quickly sat up and started moving towards the exit gate.
"Excuse me miss?" A strange voice came .
I know for the fact that it is him.
