I was just done with my class 12th Boards and planned to join the 'Manasi University' in my home town Kolkata for a B tech degree. Board's result came and I got 94% in the best of four subjects, obviously it was considered a pretty good score to get admission in Manasi. Thus, I started with my preparations to join the college. Soon the day came, it was the first day of my college, finally after so many years of my life, I would get a touch of freedom to bring an order of disorder in my overly 'disciplined' life, which made it too dull and lonely.
As I entered the University's gate, I could feel a shudder of nervousness running down my spine, as for a girl who had lived around 15 years in her little world where there was room for only few people, including her parents, Gopal (yeah Lord Krishna, though for me, He is my brother), grandparents, two maternal uncles, one maternal aunt and two cousin brother and sister, also 'Hangla' (my cousin sister's pet dog), was finally getting a chance to increase her friends' circle and make the world bigger for her through new bonds. I was amazed seeing the campus, as it was so grandeur and spacious that it felt like I was in a Tollywood bengali movie's shooting set. The buildings were giving me the 80's Kolkata vibes during the British Raj with royal paintings, wooden carved gates, big pillars, broadened and slightly slanted high stairs. As I was walking while looking up at the University's 'Science A Block', suddenly I got hit by someone, and I fell on my hips but the impact of the fall was not more physical than it was mental for I was greatly embarrassed, so embarrassed that I didn't even look up to see who I did crash with. But yeah, I just saw a hand pointing towards me, maybe it was the hand of the same person for whom I fell. So I ignored the hand and stood up by taking support of my hands by pushing the ground and adjusted my dress and walked past that guy without even looking at him, but from my side eye, I just saw a boy's thick curly hair but couldn't see his face. I went inside my designated classroom and saw everyone was already sitting with their friends, so I just sat in an empty bench as I didn't have the courage to ask someone if I could sit beside them. The first class was of Physics, sir started with the chapter, "Theory of Relativity", 5 mins were already over since the class started when a guy came running and stopped by the door of the classroom, he was panting heavily as if he was just coming from a marathon. The teacher was going to scold him badly for being late,that too on the first day of college, but before he could open his mouth, this boy told that his bike's fuel was out so he couldn't arrive in time, well the argument wasn't that believable but through his brilliant and realistic expressions, the teacher was convinced and let him enter. He came and sat beside me, I was amazed, for among so many places, why did this unruly boy chose my seat. But I didn't think much of him, just noticed one thing, his black, wavy, thick, curly hair....
