Welcome; to read the ramblings of the characters in my story.😳
First Part
"Mere khwabon mein jo aaye, aaye mujhe chir jaaye usse kaho mere saamne toh aayee.. la la la.."
I smacked myself with a book. "Kalpu, concentrate! Your exam is tomorrow!" This is my final year of college and I can't afford to fail.
"Kalpi.. dinner is ready beta..."
"Coming!" I holler back at my mother. I pick up a book and head downstairs for dinner.
"Kalpi, put down your book!" Kamla Ma ordered, as she gently patted the roti ka belna on my head. "You know it's time to eat."
I let out a sigh. "Fine mom.." I said.
She shoves a plate of her roti and sabzi under my face. Another *sigh*.
Anyways, while I am eating shall I introduce you to my friend... Maya Rathor!
Maya Rathor's POV:
One day I will get married. Arrange marriage. That's what mom tells me. She tells me that they get to decide who will marry me. Are they serious?
Well, trust me I am not going to marry some guy that mom brings into my life. I will choose for myself!
Besides, like we watch in t.v. shows everyday! We can always convince our families if we try hard enough!
But now the question arises.. who will marry me?
"Maya Rathor, get down here!" That's my mom yelling her head off. She has hired another stylist to make me ready. The ladko wale are coming to take a look at me. Mom keeps complaining that the stylist's don't make me look good enough each time someone comes with a proposal. Is she serious? I am one in a million. Mothers. -_-
oh fo, another guy will face a rude rejection from me. I wonder who the lucky one is this time?!
Prem Kapoor's Pov:
My parents are taking me to see a girl. I mean come on! Is this an age to get married? I am only in my final year of college!
Besides, I already think I've found someone. You know that akdoo girl? The one who thinks she is the best?! You got it right. Maya is the love of my life and no one can take her place.
And then on to my older brother (he's only a year older!), his life is also messed up. *shaking my head*. Passing it on to him, ok?
Raghav's POV:
I am the trouble-maker of the family. I failed a year of college and somehow ended up with Prem.
By the reactions I had gotten from the whole family you would've thought that I had just done something forbidden.
I hadn't done anything forbidden.. well if failing a year of college to end up in the same year as the girl you love is wrong, then yes I was wrong.
Wait! I know what you are thinking. FAIL for your love? Isn't that going too far?? Yep, that's me.😵
Right now I am laughing at Prem. He's stuck in the same mess I was in a year ago. I had somehow managed to talk my parents out of it, let's see how Prem manages to get out of this one.🤣
Hold on: My friend Samar a.k.a Sammy is calling me.
Samar's POV:
I am a shy guy. Or so they say! *smiling evilly* ok just kidding! What's my fault if I am soft spoken?! Everyone is different.
But but but--
I kind of regret it. I am shy to the extent that I can't admit my feelings to the one I love.
Her name is Tani Malohtra. Ok, I kind of don't want to say anymore... I keep my feelings hidden in my heart.
Tani Malohtra:
What should I say? My life is meaningless. No mother. No father. No siblings. Raised by my aunt. I have a terrible attitude. I am rude. I am heartless. Period.
...
I am awful. I am mean. *running my hand through my hair*. It sounds like I am convincing myself. *Ugh*
Palak:
No one introduced me! Oh well!! I'll give it a go on my own!😛 I am Palak and 5'5", a little on the chubby side.. but am very fun to be friends with! 😃 I have no complaints of life. I am proud to be who I am.
Yeah, life has given me some of its ups and downs🤔, but I keep going! That's life man, you respect yourself and you earn respect!
Got it? Or did you get it?
A few people in life who have seen me for the wonderful girl that I am (lol) have all said the same thing: "You are a role model."
But sometimes I feel.. am I?
Whatever! Let's fast forward to tomorrow.. when Tani and Kalpi will come finding me with their silly problems!
"Palak, dekho I think I studied 5 minutes 49 seconds less than I did on my last exam, do you think it'll go fine?" Kalpi asked me.
"Palak, usse chodo aur mujhe bataao-- is there a way to get out of the dance party? I am definitely not going," Tani interrupted.
Kalpi: "Palak, do I look okay?"
Tani: "Palak, cannot you do something about those "popular" girls? They are soo not popular!
Kalpi: "Palak, why don't we go to the parlor, all three of us: after college ends today?
Tani: "Pal-"
"Enough you two!" I exclaimed, covering my ears. "Chill!" "You girls talk tooo much!"
Tani and Kalpi looked at each other. Kalpi and Tani are as close to friends as a sibling can be to their "very bossy" sibling.
"Chaloo, off to classes.. you two are getting Late!" I snap angrily.
"Palak, you too are getting late," Kalpi said, pouting. "You go first!"
I laugh as I push my glasses up my nose. "Okay fine, see you guys later.
I ignored him and took a shot. The ball is in! I jump up in the air and run towards Bhai to give him a hug.
He turned around stiffly and folded his arms. "I am sorry bhai," I say apologetically. "But you know the feeling of scoring, it's wonderful!"
I saw Raghav's shoulders relax. He never failed to understand me. He was the best brother a person could have.
"Ok ok.." Raghav said, faking anger. "Let's go to the library and see what Sammy is up to."
I nod. "Let's go."
As we enter the library, we see Samar bent over his work all laid out on the table. Raghav and I take a seat next to him.
"What's up yaar?" Raghav asked him.
"I am trying to figure out the formula for this problem.." Sammy said, rubbing his temples.
"This one?" Raghav asked him, pointing to a problem. Sammy nodded.
"I think I heard the teacher mention something about that.. lemme try to remember.." Raghav said looking into space.
"Aha! I remember," he told Sammy, and he went on to explain to him what that formula is.
I am falling asleep. Plus, the formula they are chatting about is totally foreign to me. I better start paying attention. If I fail the year, what impression will Maya get out of it?
Note: I don't know how many parts this story will have. It could have 5 parts or it could be 25 parts. It depends on how I shape up the story. Just so y'all know!😊
