Paper Hearts
Hearts are delicate things ...as delicate as paper maybe ! A small stroke on a paper can end up creating something beautiful on it, can crease it or maybe tear it for a lifetime. Isn't it the same when it comes to hearts ? If caressed well by a beloved one they end up blooming like cherry blossoms that soothe the soul & make a person strong from within ...& if caused the slightest of pain by someone dear ,it can tarnish forever & ever ...
Whats in this story ...will hearts be soothed or broken , let's find out ? 😃
Chapter 1
She was running through the corridors with all her might. Cursing someone under her breath constantly she continued ro saunter through the bunch of college students who were busy greeting each other. Some waved to her while some rolled their eyes at her tomboyish attire that somehow looking unappealing that day.
Hair all grizzly & out of order , eyes slightly droopy , rugged cargo denims fitting perfectly around her waist & her trademark - A loose white shirt that hardly showcased any of the curves her feminine body possessed. No wonder her aai said to people "Mere paas ek nahi 2 bete hai. Ek Pakya aur ek meri Kalpana!"
Finally a huffing & puffing Kalpana stood outside the laboratory. Darn ! She was late by half an hour. Slowly opening the door she popped her head in to see if the sir had arrived. Of course he had ...
Sir : Welcome welcome Miss Jadhav ! The class was waiting for u ...
Oh holy Lord of the Rings ! It was Professor Mathur's lecture. The same professor mathur who had troubled her by threatening her with a kt the last semester. He hated her coz she didn't follow his pattern of studying & yet managed to get good marks. And ever since their jugalbandi was something the rest of the class had enjoyed. She would have retorted as always , but this time she knew she was at fault. Finally after a brief bhaashan
S : (angrily) Get in !
Clutching onto the strap of her bag tightly she whooshed in & literally slammed her presence on the table where Paakhi was. Her hands automatically reaching the sides of her waist as she started off
K : & I thought someone said she would pick me up from home ?
P : Ummm ...kalpu...i was ...but ummm ...a ..neetu ...
She was cut short when kalpana raised a brow & questioned something to the guy standing beside her with the apparatus of the to-be-performed experiment.
K : & what could you be doing here ? (Then staring at the apparatus on the table with eyebrows knitted together) pack all this stuff from here & get to some other table before I beat the life out of u .Don't u know me & paakhi have been partners since the last 2 semesters ...
She had said with the slight nodding of her head & wriggling the 2 made by her point finger & the middle one. The wriggling fingers were then shut tight together in someone's fist & brought down by ...
"What the ..." Kalpana had turned around to see who had dared to interrupt her. It was ...ummm...err, ok who was he ?? Some tall well built guy who probably looked handsomer than handsomest. Quickly withdrawing her fingers from his clasp she looked up at him dangerously. She wished to grab his collar there & then , known for her hot tempered nature was she ...but not a scene-creator. She was about to bark something at him before he spoke cooly , his voice as calm as Buddha himself
"New year ...new people like me come in ...so roll nos shift accordingly ! U should have at least known this in ur 2 semesters before speaking to my friend in that manner " he ended mimicking Kalpana's wriggling v shaped fingers that flashed a 2 a while ago. She looked at him , then Paakhi & the guy who stood beside her whose name was supposedly Sammy. All of their eyes telling that new guy & his roll no. gyaan was correct
K : OK Fine !
She had left stomping in search of her new no , her new table & new PARTNER !! 😉😳
The most predictable question with an even more predictable answer. Who could her new partner be ??😉
So how was it ?Gosh...meri saari stories starting mein same hi lagti hai na ??😆 but don't worry , this will be different from both shots & million miles ...so fikar not 😉 This is the first time I'm trying my hand on a college love story (I don't like them that much ...but since I'm now portraying a real life story I had to bend my likes & dislikes a bit) Do drop in likes & comments if u seriously wish to read further !!
