Arjun Verma
Naina's classmate and The drool worthy hunk of the batch. Seems to be the cool guy with attitude with sense of humor that made him just more desirable to the Bimbos of the college. He has a spoilt brat image in Naina's eyes. Though few of Naina's close friends were well acquainted with him, Naina was always suspicious with him around, and just shared a casual-hi-hello relationship with him. Despite, the fact that her friends told her he was a cute, grate guy.
Chapter 1:
The Singhania Home:
The Craziest Place as Naina describes it. Things that are quiet common sight: a messy living room, an always occupied kitchen, an always on Television, a screaming voice belonging to one of the Singhanias.
She hated the fact that her home felt like the "The Normal House" like one of her many friends only on the days when a guest was expected. Otherwise it seemed more like a market place. Nevertheless she loved the place. She couldn't stand a neat tidy up placed like Maassi's place.
She stumped herself on the bean bag of her room, and ran her eyes all about. How did the room to dirty itself all by itself.! She sighed as she checked her phone. She noticed the date, and a put on a grumpy face. It was the night of the Ball. Yes, a ball and not a prom. Her University had organised a Ball for the graduating students. For once why couldn't her mom let her go. ?? Badi Maa always allowed Bhaiya and Swati to late night parties and proms. But her mother would never let her. Even Badi Maa had tried to convince her mother to no effect. It would have been perfect if Maa had allowed, even dad wasn't in town to know.! Alas.!
She stood up and walked up to the mirror. A 24yr old final year MBA student who had just returned from her last exam, saw herself in the mirror. She wasn't that skinny tall girl , ever guy would have a look out for, she was 5'3ish in height, normally healthy, chubby girl with glasses on. Her hair tied up in a pony. She loved dancing, singing and talking, but to the world she seemed an introvert.
She sighed.
If only Maa knew, she had grown up and had enough sense of the right and wrong. She was the funniest among her friends, a person whose company her friends looked forward to. But she was different. She was weird and her friends were fine with that, as a matter of fact that made her much more bubbly. She was more of the person who took decisions from her brain than her heart. But when she took decisions from heart they always turned out to be an adventure.
But for those who din't know her she was this boring, lifeless person whose only job on earth was to attend lectures ,and be back home.
She for once din't mind it. She never really looked forward to companies of boys. She had a few guy friends she casually spoke to, coming from an orthodox family that was always welcoming small troubles at the pity things, she felt it was better that way. Peace with College Life.
The message beeped it was her girls gang,they asked her to join the ball, as it would be a one time experience.
She had told then that she din't want to. But the fact was that she was in a dilemma herself. First ,what if she went and got her self into some problem? Late night parties and socializing were just not her things.
But, then she always liked new experiences, a one time experience wouldn't hurt.
But now that she had convinced herself, the problem was Maa.! She dint want her to go. She sighed and flicked her phone aside on the bed and freshened herself up. She planned to spend a nice evening watching her favourite movies from the 90s.
It was nine on the clock. She had just climbed up to her room after bidding a good night to all after dinner.She saw the time and sighed, wondering what would be happening at the ball. Deviating her thoughts she looked at her DVD collection as to decided which movie to watch.
Suddenly she heard a tap on the door of her room that she had just locked a few minutes back.She opened it only to be pushed in by Badi Maa, who held a pile of things in her hand. The older lady quickly shut the door and gave a wide smile. Naina looked at her confused.
Badi Maa-"Take these and quickly get dressed, its for you.!"
Naina-"What?"
"Go get dressed, don't you want to attend the Ball?"
Naina-"Badi Maa,..but...
Badi Maa-"Look here's the deal, you go like a good responsible girl to the Ball and I take care of things at home. come on Naina Now don't be a spoil sport , I know you hate socializing for once it wouldn't hurt and Asha wouldn't know..So Go..!"
She pushed her onto the washroom with the new clothes she had bought for her that Morning. Naina had never been so baffled in Life. " What do I do.? Should I go? Maa..? But..? Once.?Fine.!" She said calming herself.
Speaking to herself-"Naina you can do it.! Abhi nahi toh kabhi nahi!"
She quickly changed into the deep royal blue gown. It was beautiful. She always loved Badi Maa's choice. She looked at her self in it, she had a major shock, her curves were highlighted as it stuck to her figure. How the hell can she wear that to the Ball.!?? Now way. She hated things that made her look all curvy, she only knew how she had managed the saare back at high school. Her friends had told her that she had the perfect curves and she looked pretty but she was not in for their words. She hated unwanted attention on her.
On her birthday when she had worn that pretty red top that her mom had gifted her, she just had had enough. She wondered whether did she look all that catchy as people made her feel. She felt like a signal light that day, that people looked out for.
She stepped out of that bathroom quickly,-"Badi Maa, I can't wear this, I will wear my new baby pink to with jeans its perfectly fine."
Priya who was halfway expecting the argument-"No way, you look so pretty now open that hair of yours I will quickly straighten them, and wear your block heels they would be comfortable, and yeah get rid of that chashma and wear on your lenses.
"Badi Maa "she squealed, " I m not going for a fashion show.!"
Badi Maa quickly started working one her hair-"Chup, Just calm down, !"
Badi Maa had transformed her drastically into a pretty young gorgeous looking lady. He hair straightened, with a few strands kissing her chubby cheeks. She was forced by Badi Maa to wear those stupid lenses, she hated them, so much trouble they gave her. She loved her full framed glasses.
She looked at herself shocked, her friends would pull her leg , "O no, Naina there is time say No!" Her head whispered. "No Naina you are never scared of anything, you can do it!" Said another voice of her head.
Badi Maa quickly turned her,ti apply the eyeliner.
She protested, she hated make up made her feel so painted.
"Its just an eyeliner, dear!"
Next came the lip gloss.
"that's it, no more she said as her Badi Maa bought out another fancy looking brush from her make up kit.!
" Okay, Okay Now go and keep your phone with you, call me before leaving, whatever time it is! "
Naina-"But won't u sleep... And how do I go..the cabs aren't safe.!"
Badi Maa handed her the keys of her Scooty, "Here you go, !"
She looked at her bewildered, did she expect her to ride a scooty in that dress after all that make up session.
Badi Maa shrugged-"Thats y O asked you to learn to drive!"
She made a grumpy face-"Never mind I will manage "she said taking her raincoat, and stuffing a few things in her bag.
She quickly hugged the older lady and kissed her cheek " Thank You"
She put a kaala tikaa behind her tear and smiled, pitting a comb and a few other things into her bag.
She giggled-"You make me feel like Cinderella! "
The older lady laughed-"and I feel like the fairy god mother! Now hurry..! Drive safe and drop me a message when you reach!"
The University was a twenty minute drive, as usual times given the night time it would barely take 10-15 minutes.
She quickly made her way out. The other members of the family were busy watching IPL in Bade Paa's room which was on the second floor. Badi Maa waved, from the window still wondering why shewas wearing the raincoat now when it wasn't even raining. "Paagal!" Sh sighed.
"Come one Naina , you are at this..!" She sat and wore a helmet. "Woah yet another adventure!" She couldn't believe she had actually sneaked out of her house to attend the Ball at The University, dressed in a pretty gracious gown, all decked up with perfume, eyeliner and the gloss. Wearing a rain coat over and a helmet."Wow" she said mocking her own self.
"Bas koi gadbad naa hoye.!" She sighed and rode.
