Chapter Seven
(It's flashback time)
Four years ago
The handsome Maan Singh Khurana walked out of college, dressed in the black robe and cap mandatory for graduates. Behind him trailed his stepbrother seventeen year old Dev, as usual whining about his pocket money.
"Maan, please. Just for now," he said, his brown eyes focusing on Maan.
He was not the only reason why Maan hated brown eyes.
Maan sighed. His parents' inheritance had been reduced to a financial mess, and they were at the verge of auctioning their palatial house. But he did not want Dev to worry. He understood that Dev wanted that new study material.
But little did he know that Dev was using the money to date several girls-and dump them once he'd had his fill of 'pleasure'.
He sat down in his beloved jeep, that he had preferred to use after selling all the fancy cars off. He drove home, and then suddenly, just in a moment of euphoria, he threw his cap up into the air, and it landed straight on the face of the girl driving the Scooty behind him.
Add Scootys to MSK's hate list.
He turned around, to see a girl with curly hair and light brown eyes yell at him, waving his cap. He pulled over and she stopped too, getting off her motorcycle, her hands on her hips, glaring at him.
"I'm sorry," he said briskly, removing his graduation robes in an effort to look presentable-and immediately felt a current of shame as he displayed his worn out jeans and jacket, and scruffy second-hand shoes.
Rather than turning her nose up, the girl said, "It's okay, I understand. I've graduated recently too."
Maan was not one for conversation,but he felt a sudden urge to talk more than just 'Dev, I'll give you the money" and "Dadi, let me study, I don't want to go to sleep." He had friends, but none of them were close. They all feared his nature-except this stranger.
And she was, and would always be Maan's first love.
Sorry for it being so short...I'm kind of stuck as to what path to take in the eighth one...another flashback, or back to the present? Or a kind of mix of both? Leave your opinions, and don't forget to press the like button!
