Radhika is returning from Mythology department, when she slipped through the floor because of water, she know she was going to fall ,so closed her eyes in fright but felt a hand grabbing her arm tight, slowly she opened her eyes and can see her self hanging oblique by some one holding her arm tight, she looked at the person and again got lost in the black pool of eyes ... she don't know how much time passed but got off from trance when the eyes closed and immediately composed her self. It was the guy whom she faced that early morning, she didn't want to speak to that jerk but out of courtesy called for him "Hey" ,That guy who turned to leave stopped and looked at her ,she smiled "Hey Thanks."
Dev just looked at her passively " If you are that enthusiastic to fall in my arms, try some thing better next time "
Radhika looked at him baffled , opening her mouth like a fish and closing it ,her expression became furious "You know what?? Just forget it... You are impossible. and for your kind info I will never try to impress any one, especially a guy as obnoxious as you. I will chose a beggar than you on any given day" She don't know what she hoped for but not the expression of relief that crossed his face. He made a mock bow "Thank you Milady! you gave me a big relief with your words. " Radhika shook her head and turned back to go to hostel, making them both go in opposite directions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rohan found Radhika going towards Hostel in a sour mood and smiling went to her "Hey Radhika"
Radhika looked at him and frowned "How do you know my name ? "
Rohan shrugged "Vish .. I mean Vishaka told me " seeing her become silent asked her " What happened , does professor dumped you with lots of home work on very first day?"
Radhika shook her head "No, Prof! is very accommodating, but came across a real git on my way"
Rohan frowned "Who?"
Radhika huffed in anger "Don't know, but he is a real git , you know? He thinks him self as Mr.Universe"
Rohan was about to say some thing when Vishaka came to them scowling, Radhika asked her in concern "What happened Vish?"
Vishaka shook her head and spoke " There are many rooms in hostel that are empty, but they gave her our room"
Radhika not understanding any thing "Slow down dear... who gave whom our room?"
Vishaka spoke angrily "We have a third room mate darling, Just now warden told me. "
Radhika got confused "But as per hostel rules only two are allowed for room na"
Vishaka huffed "Exactly, but warden says since our room is bigger one, they will give a third room mate "
Radhika looked at her and spoke "lets go to room, I want to see who she is."
Vishaka spoke angrily "It doesn't matter dear, who ever she is, she just wanted to impose on us, I will not accept her at all"
Rohan intervened "Hey champ, chill up yaar... till yesterday you don't know Radhika also na, now see you both are acting like you both are long lasting friends. Who ever this new comer is, give her a chance right. If you think you can't adjust with her, I am sure you will find some way to kick her out from room."
Vishaka gave him her devious smile "I am sure we can do that Rohan." Saying she grabbed Radhika's hand "Lets go"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes Mom, I am really fine, Hows every one there... I mean Dad, Papa, Mumma, Misha. Hows every one ?"
--------------------
"Yes mom, I got my room and I am sharing it with two other girls, of which one girls bed is nice, but others is not so good"
Vishaka not able to bear it "Hey you new girl, Who the hell are you to comment about my bed "
The new girl wearing a green top with white skirt and full of curled hair looked at her and smiled, she spoke in her phone "Mom I will call you later. Ask Dad how he is." Pocketing her phone she smiled again "Hi I am Piya, Piya Sri Dobriyal. I am your new mate"
Vishaka just huffed and left off from room, while Radhika shook her head "Radhika , Radhika Vasisht. Nice to meet you" She took the hand for hand shake " Don't mind Vishaka, she will come around in few days. "
Piya smiled "I know, My sister is also in a way like her only. "
Radhika nodded her head " So you are here to do"
Piyas eyes sparkled in a way as she spoke "PhD. in Ancient Mythology"
Radhika smiled "Cool, So you are also Professor Bharadwaj's student right"
Piya nodded her head "Yeah, this year is a record since he has four Ph.D students"
Radhika asked confused "Four?"
Piya nodded as if she is remembering "Yeah U, Me, Some Raichand and another guy named Dev Purohith. I think Dev Purohith is also doing research on same subject as you, Mythical creatures, while that Raiichand and me are working on a topic"
Radhika became interested "There's another guy joining me in research. Cool to know some one is having similar interests as me"
Piya tooo nodded "Yeah , Thats true."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At same time ...
"Why the hell did you both came here? Seriously are you both mad or what?"
"Dev, Be cool man. We came here to help you. Piya sensed it that you will need us."
Dev sighed " I know, I doesn't even know who she is. But I can feel the pull in that college, an't specify whom I am being pulled to. I don''t want you both to be in risk. We know how King Nivas Verma is."
The other guy spoke " I know, but you too should understand this that, we both are already used to dangers. In a way I guess we need that danger factor in our lives I guess."
Dev snorted "Truly , the biggest mistake Sardar did is to give you both the powers of vampire while you both are still human. I am sure Mr. Dobriyal still don't understand what made ur Sardar gave you people those powers and turn you into magicals. "
Abhay shrugged " Only he will know. But good side is, he gave that boon to all of dobriyals too atleast to some extent. I mean they people too have a bit of long life and were able to sense things to a minor extent."
Dev nodded "Yeah I know all that story Mr. Abhay Raichand. "
Abhay laughed seeing the face made by Dev "Then you should also know this bro that we will never leave your side. We both joined your community and accepted you completely as our leader ."
Dev gave him a understanding smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Piya looked around the room, no one is there in surroundings, she became friends with Radhika in a very short time, and Vishaka also got a bit cooled off. After some time they both went out with another friend of their named Rohan. Now she is free... She nodded to her self and jumped down the balconny and zoomed off into forest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radhika and Vishaka went to meet Rohan outside the hostel "Hey beautiful" Rohan smilingly said to Radhika who just shook her head off ,while Vishaka jumped in "Hey stay it off haan"
Rohan sighed "What can I do if she is too beautiful"
Radhika laughed and walked off while Vishaka and Rohan continued to bicker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mean while...
'Hello Hubby" Abhay glared at Piya who came silently beside him and tried to surprise him " You know what one thing I just regret is you having these powers and me unable to find you when you are sneaking on me"
Piya laughed off sitting in lounge beside Abhay and in front of Dev "Chillax my dear husband, You too should accept that you love to be surprised by me"
Abhay gave a long suffering sigh 'Well what I can do, when I have to spend forever with you"
Piya again smiled 'And I also know that you love that every minute you spend with me . Any way we can have thhis chat later , Bro you said mee you can feel her but are you ablle to pin point her?"
Dev shook hhis head in frustration "No, I tried, but I amn't . When I am in my animal form, I can recognize her, but I can''t remember her face when I turned to human form. All I remember is just her scent."
Piya gave him a smile and spoke "You will find her soon don't worry Bhai"
Dev gave her a searching look "Piya, I know you can see her, why can't you just tell me her name ?"
Piya smiled "You know what, I can''t say such things, I know you are frustrated but from my own experiences one thing I understood is, some things you should just let them happen.. In this search for her I am sure you will rediscover your self, the original Dev Raj Purohith. Not that Dev Raj Purohith which you are now."
Dev gave a small smile at her "And that would be?"
Piya laughed "The snarky leader of wizarding clan and my dear git of a brother"
Dev laughed and spoke "Thanks for everything sister. When you people came to me, I asked vampire leader about you people and he said me you people will fit right into my clan. And I am happy I had you people in my clan, because you are my family"
Abhay gave a mock clap "Ooohhh this might be the end of world, the almighty, great Dev Raj Purohith becoming sappy"
Dev grunted "I don't know if it is end of world but it will definitely be the end off your tongue Abhayendra Anant Raichand if you don't shut right now"
