Part 11 - The Orientation
Program



As the
morning dawned, a soft glow filled theroom through gaps from the windows signaling

the
beginning of a new day.



Shutting
the alarm, Sanyukta opened her eyesand got up with a contented sigh. Today she'll

get to
know about various challenges she'll begoing to face in her four years here and learn

whatever
she can learn in making her dreampossible. In short, today was the day, where her new journey
of life will begin and she wasgoing to make everything of it.



After
finishing her morning prayer, she checkedthe time from her mobile kept on her side table.

It was
5:30 am, they has four hours till they meet the twins outside the gate. It was also wonderful that the
twins were also in mechanical engineering which allowed them to spend even more
time together. She looked at theside to see Kaustaki still sleeping. Getting up

from her
Sanyukta decided to let her sleep for awhile as Kaustaki was not an early riser and

instead
finish with her morning chores.



Both
Sanyukta and Kaustaki were surprised to know that they have separate bathroom
in their room and were glad having to not share with the other girls. The
bathroom was very modestly designed, separate washing and bathing area with a
big mirror on the side and a vast tub.



"What
more could a girl want" thought Sanyukta stepping inside the tub filled
with warm water after stripping her clothes. With a content sigh, sherelaxed herself against the tub, playing with thebubbles simultaneously. This was the thing shenever got to do in her home, if she could call

one, but
shrugged it off enjoying the warmingsensation of the water.



After
taking the bath, she dried herself with atowel and stood in it in front of her cupboard,

deciding
what to wear on her first day. Oncedressed in a maroon colored kurti and white leggings she
decided to wake Kaustaki up asshe'd also take time in enjoying the amazingbath.



Soon the
time passed and both the girls wereready finishing their last of the breakfast in their

hostel canteen.
Disposing of their plates theymarched off towards the gates.



"Hey
Sanyu Kaustaki "



They
turned rightwards to see the twins Anyaand Tanvi coming towards them with a wide smile on their
faces.



"Hi Anya.
. . Hi Tanvi good morning" greetedSanyukta and Kaustaki.



"Morning,
"



"So,
how was the night?" askedSanyukta



"It
was fine, will take some time tosettle as usual" answered Tanvi.



All four
of them reached the place where the buswill come. The place was crowded with studentscoming in and out of the campus. Some of themwere international students who had arrived that
day, some of the students stood with their familyand some third or fourth year candidates werehanging around with their groups.



After
waiting for a few minutes the bus arrived,making students to rush in grabbing the seat.

Sanyukta,
Kaustaki and the twins were the lastwho entered. Founding one in the corner,

the four
moved and grab their seats. Sittingagainst the window side, Sanyukta enjoy the viewas the bus sped passes through the gates.



Throughout
the small journey from the Bluebell tocollege, Sanyukta mostly looked outside the

window
while the twins and Kaustaki chattedcontinuously about the program.From the small journey, Sanyukta could onlymake out some shops on either side of the road,one cafe and entrance of the market which shecouldn't see further.



"I'll
have to do some sight-seeing soon"Sanyukta thought to herself.



As the
bus stopped outside the building, all thestudents filed outside of the bus and

were awed
at the massive size of their collegebuilding and its brilliant architecture. Sanyukta and

others
follow other students through the collegebuilding towards the halls where the orientation

was being
held.



In the
halls, there were many seats some of themwhich were already occupied by half of the

students.
In a sudden rush of students for seats, Sanyukta got separated from the other
three anddue to lack of time
got slammed into anotherperson
almost losing her balance.



Balancing
herself, Sanyukta turned towards theperson who she bumped into to say sorry, but

before
she could open her mouth, a loud shriekcut her off



"How
dare you. . Can't you walk andsee?" shouted a girl rubbing dust partials off herdress.



"I'm
really sorry I didn't see you and with sudden rush..."



"Oh,
I know girls like youokay . .
. you middle class girls don't have thesetype of luxury to enjoy and those who have, youjust can't tolerate and because of your jealousy,you pulled this cheap trick on me . . . you cheapo"



The girl
shouted, making everyone's attentionturned on them and a crowd was beginning toform around them because of the drama.



The girl
was still blabbering without realizing that she was making a scene



"I
don't know whattype of
parents they are obviously middle class people who just thought sending their
loads tosuch high class
college will make them supreme"



All the
while Sanyukta was too shocked to reactas this girl was making a mountain out ofnothing, but when she made a comment abouther parents something snap inside her, ifsomeone say something to her, she'll handle butshe couldn't tolerate if someone say somethingabout her real parents if not the Aggarwals.



"Stop
it" said Sanyukta but the girl ignored it and keep continuing her blabber.



"I
said STOP IT" said Sanyukta a little louder, this startled the girl but
she did shut up this time.



The girl
was terrified seeing the anger on Sanyukta's face as she came closer but didn't
back down.



"I
don't like repeating so listen clearly, never ever talk about my parents like
that, coz next time I won't be able to hear with this much dignity" said
Sanyukta through clenched teeth.



Though
the tone was calm, the girl can easily understand the threat mix with it.



"Did
you understand?" asked Sanyukta. The girl timidly nodded her head still
keeping bit of her reputation. Sanyukta was satisfied seeing a hint of fear in
the girl's eyes but she quickly covered it. Sanyukta has never talked back to
anyone be the Aggarwals who continuously tortured her both mentally and
physically but she just couldn't tolerate someone badmouthing her parents those
whom she love more than her life.



Sanyukta
was about to turn from there but stopped as a thought came to her



"And
don't even talk about class to me coz clearly, you don't have one" with
that Sanyukta walked of to her friends who were standing with shocked but proud
smile on their faces.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As
Randhir has already worked everything about the college he has no problem in
making his way to college plus the fact that he has own car as transportation
made things easier.


Soon
after parking the car Randhir and Jignesh made their way inside the halls and
seated themselves in fourth row waiting for the program to begin. While waiting
Randhir roamed his head around the hall examining its structure and atmosphere.
The halls were a vast area where almost 200 students can be seated. The seating
arrangements were made in a semi-circle mode covering almost half of the hall.
Then there is a big stage in facing the seats with a big logo of F.I.T.E stuck
in the center of the wall gleaming under the light. On the side a large
speaking podium is there for instructing students. Various staff members were
there some cleaning already clean spots and some directing students to the
seats.



"Jiggy
you..."



Suddenly
a loud shriek interrupted him and he turned his head to see what commotion is
going on. He could see a lot of people gathering around some spot.



"Randhir
bhai, com'on let's see what happened" said Jiggy from the side.



Randhir
nodded his head and both he and Jiggy both stood up and made their way towards
the increasing crowd. Once they reached, he could two girls (He rolled his eyes...Oh
he should've thought- attention seekers) arguing, no infant one girl was
shrieking in an irritating voice and the other girl with her back towards him
was saving herself from falling, as soon as she turned around to say something
he froze, the girl has those same almond shape eyes which were haunting him
whenever he closes his eyes since the time he bumped into her.



How can
he forget those eyes which made him feel strangest feelings yet comfort him, a
weird combination right! How he wished he could comfort her the same way as she
do to him indirectly by seeing so much pain hidden in her eyes. But this girl
with her eyes...could SHE be the same..!!



Randhir
stared at her intently, he did not listen what the other girl was saying nor
did he care what mattered was the girl in front of him. He could see various
emotions going through her eyes from sad to confusion to shock to incredulity
to anger or rather furious. Randhir was confused as to what made her so angry
and he soon got to know.



Randhir
was impressed and proud despite himself as how she handled the situation with
so much maturity. A small smirk spread out on his face at her last comment. His
eyes followed her as she turned around and got seated in the third row from his
right.



But as the
crowd began to clear he snapped back to reality and began cursing himself.



"What
the hell happened to you Randhir? Why were you staring at her like this? She is
nothing but a girl and remember you hate girls...oh how can I forgot I have to
find out who that Sanyukta Aggarwal is?"



His anger
returned with full force and told himself again n again to forget about that
almond eye girl.



After few
minutes of settling the crowd all were seated and were waiting for the Dean and
other members of the college to arrive. It wasn't long before Dean arrived
followed by a group of teachers. After settling the Dean stood behind up a
podium and began addressing the students.



"Good
morning, my name is Dr. Sumit Saxena. Iwould like to start off by welcoming every

single one
of you to the Founders Institute of Technology and Engineering also popularly
known as F.I.T.ECollege
of India. When the College openedup its admission for this academic year we

had over
a thousand young hopefuls whoapplied not only nationally but alsointernationally. A thousand applications andonly 70 places, you are the lucky 70 thatmanaged to get through that door. F.I.T.E as the
name sounds encourage students to fight there insecurities and overcome them to
achieve their respective goals. This is an engineering college in which it is
very necessary that you are present with an open mind and can fully immerse
them into their task rather than doing it disinterestedly..."



Not able
to help himself Randhir's eyes once again swept to his right side where
Sanyukta was sitting, observing her, although subconsciously making sure if
she's okay.



"Randhir
bhai what are you seeing there, look dean is introducing teachers and other
staff members now" said Jiggy making Randhir move his eyes from right to
on stage.



" I
will shortly introduce you to our grandteaching faculty; Mr. Vardhan Suryavanshi, Mrs. Maya
Suryavanshi, Mr. Prem Kumar Chowdhary, Miss Anita Garg and last but not least
Mr. Manoj Tiwari. These are the best teachers and specialist you will ever come
across in their respective fields and disciplines. Without any further delay I
would like to callupon the
teachers whom you all relate to.Thank you for listening and once againwelcome to F.I.T.E good luck and god bless"



Mr.
Vardhan Suryavanshi a handsome but strict looking man came up to the podium and
stood there studying at everyone with his intense eyes stopping on few people
and lastly on Randhir.



Randhir
who by now was paying full attention to the teacher in front of him as he could
see the professor was not likely to be deceived.



Once
Vardhan was sure he got everyone's attention he started



"Good
morning and welcome. First of all I would like to know that the students who
are sitting here know what they getting into, they know what they want to do in
their future, know how they are going to achieve it...DO YOU ALL KNOW??"
asked Vardhan his voice rising with every syllable.



"Yes,
we know" various voices said



"louder
people...Do You KNOW??" Vardhan asked again.



"YES,
WE KNOW" shouted students from all angle.



"This...This
is what I want in you all Passion. Passion in what you think, passion in what
on you learn, passion in what you believe and passion in what you become...remember
one thing I despise students who are in the college just for a job and not for
what they learn or gained but yes I will applaud for those with a genius mind
and the passion to do much more than what is 'mediocre'. There are many fields
in engineering which you all will be working upon as per your choice like
mechanical, electrical etc. and we will help you in guiding you to the right
direction and I myself will be doing the same for the students who opted
mechanical engineering and will do for others also. I wish you all the
best." Vardhan concludes as he step down the podium.



The other
teachers addressed the students reiterating some of the main points the Dean
and professor Vardhan had covered earlier. At the end of the program, the
students were provided each with class time-table and map leaflet to help newly
first years with the surroundings.



When
Randhir was about to exit the hall he saw almond eye girl with her friends
waiting for the crowd to disperse.



"Sanyu
com'on cheer up yaar, you are rank no. 2..lets enjoy this day as classes will
start from tomorrow and you also have to treat us..Come" said one of girl
standing with her



But
Randhir heard no more after Rank no. 2 and Sanyu, it doesn't take a genius to
figure out that the girl he'd been so eager to find out would be the same girl
whom he was trying to ignore.


So this
is it...please do like and comment...long one okay...I really need the
encouragement to continue.

Much love
Khushi <3
