MEANT TOT BE

CHAPTER 2

Everything's New!!

Innaya was climbing the stairs one after another with a gift on her hand. Anyone could see and tell how happy and excited she was. She finally reached her destination. She took a moment to control her excitement before she entered the room. Every people love to see their loved ones getting surprised and so does Innaya. She opened the door and was about to enter the room when she saw something probably she shouldn't have . She was totally devastated, loosing her grip off the gift. Too shocked and horrified Innaya wasn't able to do anything but stand there. 

She heard the sound of footsteps moving close to her gradually, she trembled a little. And at that moment she heard an unexpected sweet voice telling her "Innaya, wake up. Wake up girl. Hey!!!" . That sudden voice startled her back to the reality. She looked around for a while with a clueless expression, unable to realise where she was exactly until she found Leela aunty near her.

''You alright,Innaya?''- Mrs. Singh asked Innaya, lifting a hand as she caressed her cheek. Innaya answered nodding her head with a Yes and trying to smile.

Mrs. Singh opened the window of the room and a cool breeze drifted through it. She walked out of the room telling Innaya to come downstairs for breakfast.

Innaya glanced at the clock on the wall which read half 8 in the morning. She laid there for another 15 minutes and finally convincing herself to get up. Rising from her bed quietly, she stood in front of the mirror and saw her reflection. She smiled at her own reflection through tears. Her heart bleeds . It seemed like the old Innaya was gone. She lost herself in a dark place that she couldn't return to.

Who will rescue her fragile heart??

Broken from her thoughts by Leela Aunty's voice from downstairs, "Innaya, come for breakfast quickly or else you'll be late for college on your first day", Innaya didn't realise the time. She looked at the clock again , 30 minutes had passed already, she yanked the wardrobe open and gathered her clothes. "In 5 more minutes, Aunty."- she shouted and made her way to the bathroom.

In her new denim jeans with her favourite black top, she was finally dressed. Making her way downstairs, she had a cup of coffee with a toast. Realising that she was running late, she waved her hand to aunty and went out with Aman uncle.

Aman Singh worked at a corporate office in 40 rue Dussoubs Paris. He had been working there for almost 9 years and everyone knew how punctual he was until Today.  He'll be late for sure because he has to drop Innaya to her college before going to his office. Mr. Singh would have got frustrated if it would have been for someone else. But the couple loved Innaya so much , just like their own child since they were struggling with infertility.

About 25 minutes later, Mr. Singh's car stopped exactly in front of College De Paris, Innaya's college in 15 rue Montmartre. Wishing her good luck on the first day at college, he drove out to his office. Innaya waved her hand until the car disappeared around the sharp corner of the street.

Before she entered the college she read the name "College de Paris" and had a quick scan at the other students going inside. Before entering, she made a vow to herself about not getting involved with anyone else. Unaware of God's plan, she took her first step inside the college.
