Hi frnds... sorry 4 d late update... I've updates after 2 months ryt?? So sorry.. i was having exams... Please do forgive me...
CHAPTER 2
We promised each other that we would be in touch always... But that was not the case.. I messaged him after two days... But he didn't reply... 2 weeks, 2 months... 2 years passed.. I didn't receive any of his messages... I messaged him many times.. Bt didn't receive his replies...
"Prem does not need my friendship at all..." I thought.. No, made sure... Well, I stopped messaging him... Better not disturbing him... I thought...
2 years passed and I could see a big change in my brother... It was because, he married a girl who taught him what is love... Well, I started seeing a mother in her... Veera bhabhi, she was so sweet and the only friend I could find there.. Nihal bhayya is a changed man now.. He used to talk to me everyday... But my dad was not.. he never changed... But I was happy to find my brother all changed!!
I was trying to forget Prem. but how I wanted him to be away, he seemed closer to me. When ver i tried to forget him, our good old days came to my mind...
As my higher secondary education was over, the next step was to join an engineering college. I remember, how Prem liked engineering. He wanted to become an engineer and that too civil. We had decided that we will join in the same college, for civil engineering. But now, how is that going to be possible? Any ways, I asked Nihal Bhayya that I want to join in Delhi university. Wasn't sure if I will be able to find Prem. But in my concept, Prem is living in Delhi. So he may be joining in that university.
But I was sad to know that admissions are closed there, and I got a seat in Bombay university. Bhayya told that it is one of the best colleges and my admission is confirmed. I agreed to that and prepared myself to join in mumbai. God may have thought that we should never meet again.
And finally, the day came. I'm going to Mumbai. Everything was prepared. I was ready to go. Veera bhabhi came to my room with some bag.
BHABHI: Heer, take this. I've made some pickles. You love pickles right?
I love pickles. And Gayathri Aunty started serving pickles, and I never lost the interest in pickles. I packed them.
BHABHI: Heer, take care huh? first time you are staying away from home.
"Don't worry Bhabhi. I'm fine..."
Bhayya too entered my room.
BHAYYA: Sleep early. We'll be going by morning flight.
"Hmmm Yeah.."

I'm coming to Mumbai for the first time in my life. And my college, surely, it is the best college. Thew admission procedures were done and we were in the main lobby. But I should tell, the moment I reached this college, I missed Prem really well. It may be because, we planned to join in the same company and now, I'm in mumbai and he is in Delhi. What a pity!!
BHAYYA: heer, I'm leaving. Your luggage is in the hostel. And this is your atm card. And take care!!
"Thankyou bhayya"
He left. As we were the first year students, we had some orientation class too. So we were asked to go to the auditorium. I attended the orientation class and now, it was time for us to meet the faculties. Before that, Let me introduce my friend.
Soumya Singhal
She is the one and only daughter of the corporation mayor. But she is a sweet heart. She is in my branch. That is civil engineering.
We became very good friends on the first day itself. Soumya and Me headed to the Civil engineering department.
We were standing at the HOD's door. As everyone were present now, the HOD began.
HOD: Okay, first years... Let me tell you. Mobile phones are restricted during class hours. I request you to switch off your mobiles.
Just then we heard mobile ringing. I was standing in the front row. All of us turned back and the mobile phone owner ran out. We could hear his footsteps.
HOD: See.. This is not allowed here. Who was that? Please come forward..
the specimen came forward. He was holding his expensive mobile.
HOD: Last warning Ok?
"Yes Mam.." he replied.
She explained every rules and regulations o the institution. Our engineering curriculum.. verything. I was paying attention on his expensive mobile. It really was royal. I looked at his face. I've seen hi some where!! Who is that? Well, he started staring at me too. So I looked down.
After the explanations were given, we headed to the main lobby, but still, I was guessing who that was. But as I found that he was staring at me, I walked fastly.
Ex cuse me!!!
I turned back. Well, it was him. I felt strange. I haven't talked to any of the boys here. Not even my classmates. He is my classmate, but we weren't friendly enough.
"Excuse me, What's your name?" He asked.
I got scared. But why shoul i? He is m classmate. I decided to reply.
"My name is.. H.."
I couldn't complete as now we were surrounded by seniors. they were like they caught us red hand for something.
"What you two are doing here?" asked one of them
"Hey hero.. 1st day in college, and you started this...?" said another one.
"Don't blame him.. she's such a beauty..." said the thrid one. he has meant me. And he got close to me.
"Hey baby, wanna come for a ride?" he asked me. I was frozen. I looked at my classmate. He was staring at the senior.
The senior caught my hand and dragged me. But I couldn't move. Why, My classmate has caught my other hand too. Now I was staring at him. And for a moment our eyes got locked. Yes.. theese chocolate brown eyes... Those of Prem!! PREM!!! This is Prem!! I couldn't believe my eyes... Prem... he's going to be my classmate... As we planned.. We are in the same college for same course...
meanwhile, some teachers were coming, so the seniors left. I was still staring at Prem.. he left my hand.
PREM: Sorry, Hmm.. Your name please??
"Prem, you forgot me?" I asked.
Suddenly, his smile went. He became serious. He tried to go. Yeah, may be.. He does not want to become my friend. He walked away from me. I walked in the opposite direction.

It was my first day in a hostel.
I don't know what feeling I have. I'm happy that Prem is here. But no use. He does no even talk to me...
Well, my first day in the hostel was over now...
next day..
Our classes are going to start now. We were led to our classroom.. I was with Soumya. I was searching for Prem.. I could see him with another boy. May be his best friend. We were to be seated in seats alloted by the teachers.
And cos of that, I had to leave Soumya and was seated next to... OMG.. Next to Prem!!!!!!!!!!!
