Chapter 3
She stood their in middle wandering which new fresher table should she be joining as all the tables were already packed up and at last she got sight of an empty table with only one fresher, she knew the girl she was from her class only, her name was Shivani, though they did not get much to communicate but Roshni felt her nice so she sat beside her, as Shivani looked up with a bright smile and said
"Thank God I though the entire college life I have to sit all alone in this table"
She smiled at her as Roshni forced herself to smile and said
"Hey I am Roshni K Siddharth"
"Can I call you Rosh cause Roshni is so outdated babe, and my name is Shivani, another outdated name but you can call me SUZ, a name just acquired...I am from Nagpur and you"
"I am from Mumbai"
"Woa yaar that so great I just love that city yaar..."
Shivani voice died away in her ears as she kept twisting and twirling her spoon in the bowl of the hot steamy porridge, her mind flew to the past as she could not help but reflect an incident from the past
Before 5 years
In Roshni House
Sukla gave a dangerous murderous look at the children gang seated on the breakfast table while the 7 standard Neha sat there painting her nails instead of having her food, the two 6 standard Nikhil and Roshni sat their fighting world war three with their spoon... Nikhil was like a family member and hence most of the time he was with Roshni and even Sukla loved him with all hearts, as he said in a loud tone
"Now you kids finish your porridge I am counting till five and till then I want to see the bowl empty"
Making a snobbish face both Nikhil and Neha gulped down their porridge before the count could get over, while Roshni looked at her bowl of porridge as though trying to make a hole into it. At last Sukla sat right next to her took the spoon and trying to fed her while she kept struggling and screaming
"No papa please I do want porrilege please papa"
He looked at her defeated as he knew that she would never do something that she did not want, she was hell stubborn as she sat their Nikhil mocked at her
"You pronounced it wrong it is Poorridge"
"Whatever it is ...I do not want it nah it is so sticky"
"Keep showing tantrums like this and you will never get a husband"
And that was it, she busted out crying as after long she was pacified only when Nikhil said
"Its ok I am sorry ok I promise Roa [ he called roshni roa] that I will fetch a suitable husband for you"
End Of Flashback
Her trance of thoughts were broken by a bright smile, as she recalled the little illusion she had last night, she had a hope lying down in her heart that maybe just for once her Nikhil was back to give her hope to leave her life, as she smiled profoundly at Shivani, her smile that was long lost and heard each thing she spoke with interest and even joined the fun, Neha was pleased to see the happiness in her sisters eyes after so long she need not know the reason all she knew was that her sister was happy and that is the only thing that mattered to Neha, even she was close to Nikhil and his dead have affected her badly too, but being a sister made her selfish and the only thing she thought was the happiness of her sister, as after the breakfast they left for class, unknown to her someone had sneaked into her room with the keys it was none but Gauti as he went hunting round the room and the thing that caught his attention was the photo on her bed stand as he picked it up and said with a glint of sadness
"So you are Nikhil, bro you are so selfish you broke the girl heart completely"
As he checked the room thoroughly, he was in a hurry he had taken a sick leave and he knew that his annoying friend would barge into any time bunking their classes to check on him, he did not tell about the incident to anyone, he knew if he did then he would be teased whereas he came here just because he was curious. Finally after a long hunt he found a diary, he kept it aside settled every back properly and rushed to Mishra office who was waiting for him as he asked chewing on his beetle leaf
"So Gautamji can I get the key back?"
"Not yet Mishra get this entire diary xeroxed"
He took and the diary and started xeroxing it and then after that Gautam took the diary rushed back to her room and kept it back in the right place, then he had to again go back to Mishra office as he was handed to loose sheet, failing to notice that a single sheet has managed to drop down behind the xerox machine. As while going his way back he was questioned by Mishra
"Why are you so interested in the fresher?"
"I do not know Mishra but I just feel this really strong pull towards her anyway thanks I shall take you leave now"
Saying this he went back to his room and laid beneath the blanket and as accepted his friends came to have a check on his health they stayed till lunch and after that they headed back for their classes, while he sat on the bed and opened put the sheet together with the help of the dates , as the first page read out in bold letter
"Roshni Nikhil Sahadev"
And a sayari on the first page
Kisi Pathar Numa DIL Pr B Dastak Ho Hi Jati Hy
K Hasrat Jaag Jaye to Karamat Ho Hi Jati Hy
Kisi anjan Chehre Se, Kisi Pur-lutf Lamhy me
Jo Karna Na B Chaho To MUHABBAT Ho Hi Jati Hy
Kisi Khamosh Chehre Se Musalsal ashk Behne Pr
Chupana B Agr Chaho, Wazahat Ho Hi Jati Hy
Kisi K Door Jany Pr Umeedain Toot Jany Se
Wafa Me Rog Milny Ki ShiKayat Ho Hi Jati Hy
Ye Tum ne B Suna Hoga Zamana aisy Kehta Hy
K Jab B Ishq Hota Hy, Baghawat Ho Hi Jati Hy..!!
