Chapter Seven
Tuesday Morning
Maanvi woke up early as the cracks of sunlight coming from her window flashed her in the eyes. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She stretched her arms and jumped out of bed. Her eyes fell on her computer as she contemplated checking her messages.
She turned it on and typed in the address for "Rishikesh Uni Chat room" and was exposed to the few people talking on the overall chat bar. She rolled her eyes at some of the silly comments before checking the student list. Her eyes paused at the very same person who was talking to her last night, and to her shock and surprise...he was online!
Maanvi bit her lip, wondering whether she should say hello to him. She didn't want to annoy him but then thought that he was only on-line to talk to others. She clicked on his name to open the private message.
Desigirl: Good morning! You're early today.
She smiled as she typed. Maanvi waited for a few minute and frowned as she didn't get a message back. Was he ignoring me? She thought but quickly rubbished the idea out of her head. She sighed and was about to sign off when she received a reply.
PunjabiMunda: I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you wait this long, actually I totally forgot that I had left my account on and was just sleeping when I received your message.
Maanvi cursed herself. She didn't mean to wake him up.
Desigirl: I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean to... (she glanced at the time which said 6am and hissed), sorry. I'll go, err good night. I mean good morning...
She started to blush, a deep red tint formed on her cheeks. She was glad that her new friend couldn't see her right now, she would probably die of embarrassment.
PunjabiMunda: So you're going to go after waking me up? That's not fair, yaar! Now look, I can't go to sleep anymore so atleast stay and talk to me? You mean, pay me back?
Maanvi laughed and rolled her eyes at the last comment. She smirked as she typed back.
Desigirl: Oh really? And what if I don't want to talk?
PunjabiMunda: Then I'll make you talk. Okay tell me one thing, why are you up so early? Kya, are you not the average student who wakes up late? :P
Maanvi thought about her daily routine, waking up early so that she could make breakfast and help her sisters. She sighed.
Desigirl: Nope, didn't you know? I'm not like anyone else. I'm 100% original, koi shak?
PunjabiMunda: No, no. I believe you. :P SO tell me Miss Desigirl, do you seriously study at Rishikesh Uni?
Desigirl: Do you?
PunjabiMunda: Hey that's not fair, and I asked you first.
Desigirl: Haven't you ever heard of ladies first?
PunjabiMunda: Are you sure you're a lady? :P
Desigirl: *gasp*! Such a bathameez! Of course I'm a lady! :P
PunjabiMunda: Glad we got that sorted...Anyway, I'll start. Yes, I'm a student at Rishikesh Uni... I'm 22, not a bored 50 year old man.
Maanvi laughed at his reply.
Desigirl: Very funny! And yes, I'm too a student and I'll 21. Don't worry I'm not a 60 year old cougar.
PunjabiMunda: *phew!* Thank God :L Anyway, what's your name?
Maanvi gulped. Did she want him to know who she was?
PunjabiMunda: Hello? Did I scare you off? I was only asking like that...
Desigirl: No, no. My name is Maansi.
PunjabiMunda: Nice name...I'm Vivaan...
She sighed. Great, she had just gotten a new friend and already she had lied. She sighed and said goodbye before going back to her same old miserable life.
