ROA#1 | The Photographs
Delhi was a beautiful city, chaotic, and jaded as it was, but beautiful.
----
The campus was beautiful, the red brick walls in all their glory. The building had an aura of its own, each brick embedded with memories. Khushi walked through the corridors of NSD, her hands slightly grazing on the walls.The corridors were, quiet. The new students had just begun to arrive and since she had nothing to do, she wanted to explore the campus grounds. She kept walking until she came to a halt at the sight of a small room, unlike any other room on the campus. 'Students not allowed', a wooden board clearly stated, hanging on the wooden doors that led to the room. She wouldn't have entered, but did anyways.
----
The lecture was sometime in the evening, but he had already reached NSD way before noon. He wanted some quiet time alone. Alone, with her.
The walk through those corridors tired him out, always. It made his head throb with the memories he had refused to let go. Memories, he didn't want to let go of. Because they were the reason behind the man he was today,
The success, the money, every little thing in his life, it all came down to her.
Arnav was nearing towards the small room, that he dreaded to see, but couldn't keep away from whatsoever.
----
The room was beautiful. It smelled that smell of old books.There were two teak shelves, that held books, almost about to fall apart with the crinkled yellow pages. She looked around mystified. Then she noticed the photographs.They were all over the walls. Some tiny, others large and framed in silver , Some colored, some black and white. But all had the smiling face of a very beautiful woman. Long cascading black hair, overshadowed by the beautiful face and those excruciating grey eyes. Khushi was taken aback by the beauty of woman in the pictures. Her fingers were tracing her face in one of those pictures as her eyes traveled down to the inscription made n the frame.' Amrita Si'.' the words had only escaped her lips, as she felt a sharp pain on her elbow. And before she could acknowledge the source of this intrusion, she was yanked onto one of the walls of that very room by a pair of strong hands.
----
He couldn't believe his eyes as he entered the room. What was a student doing there? Slowly his eyes observed the girl in front of him. She was thin, fragile more likely he thought. Her face was obstructed by the blanket of her beautiful hair, long , black'.it reminded him of someone he knew long, long ago. Of course it can't be her.
Arnav took purposeful strides towards the girl, took hold of her elbow in a firm grip, lest she escaped and yanked her on one of those walls .
'What the hell do you think you are doing here ?'
