chapter----1
pratigya---called out naina ji-----beta jaldi aao...
pratigya was in her room,turning over the pages of an old magazine lazily..wen she heard her mother call her...
she shouted-----kya hua mummy?
naina ji----beta idhar aao to sahi?
pratigya twisted her face.. she was feeling too lazy to get up.. naina ji called agen----pratigya beta kahan ho tum?
pratigya(softly)----ooofff.... (loudly)-----abhi ayi.....
she came down the stairs and saw her mother and father sitting in the drawing room,talking excitedly with each other... she walked towards them----kya baat hain mummy,papa....kyun bulaya?
to her surprise,her mother got up quickly,all in smiles and hugged her...she looked vry happy...
pratigya-----baat kya hain mummy? she turned to her father whu was also smiling gently-----papa?
he got up and held out somethng to her.. she looked at it..it was a fashion magazine.. pratigya's eyes grew wide to see the picture on the frnt page....
pratigya(smiling)-----papa...ye...to......ye to hum hain!!!!!
shyam ji-----hmmm...sahi pehchana....
she gazed at the picture.. she had just done a casual portfolio last week as her frnd aarushi,whu was herself a struggling model compelled her to do so.... according to her pratigya had a perfect photogenic face and she wud look awsum.... pratigya had nvr thot that such a casual activity wud make her so famous within a single week.....
she came towards her father and grinned...it felt wonderful..
shyam ji put his hand on her head in a gentle manner and said---- tum bht age jaogi...dekh lena....u will prosper a lot in this field..
pratigya----papa aap sach keh rahe hain?
shyam ji-----haan beta....waise to humne tumhari admission shehar ke sabse bade college mein kar diya hain...lekin tum saath saath modelling jari rakh sakti ho.... hume koi prblm nhi hain....
pratigya put her arms around her father and hugged him... she felt as if she had reached the top of this wrld....
......................................................
within another few days,pratigya became a vry familiar face in the industry.. she started getting few assingnments and also chances to attend press conferences with senior models... in short,she became quite famous... her family members were proud of her as well as her frnds,especially aarushi.whu loved her like her sister...
ultimately pratigya decided her ambition in life wich was to become a vry successful model... she started taking contracts frm big companies.. this was wen her father opposed her.. he did nt tell her to change her plans...bt to delay them for a while...
shyam ji----beta sab thk hain...aur hume tumhari kisi bhi baat se koi pareshani nhi hain...tum apni zindagi mein jo chahe kar sakti ho...par beta...pehle thk se apna padai puri kar lo aur graduate ho jao...fir tum jo chahe karna...hum tumhe mana nhi karenge....
pratigya tried to make him understand-----par apap abhi se agr humne ye sab shuru nhi kiya to baad mein hume chance milega bhi ya nhi...
shyam ji----nhi beta...tum mein talent hain...aur talent kabhi bekar nhi jata...tum bas tin saal dhyan se apna padai puri kar lo....plzzz pratigya...hamari ye baat man lo.....
aarushi,whu was also present there supported his wrds----pratigya...uncle thk keh rahe hain...mujhe dekh...main bhi to ek struggling model hun...par maine ye sab kuch tin saal ke liye dissolve kar diya hain...nahi main abhi koi contract sign karungi aur nahi kisi magazine ke liye shoot karungi...bas tin saal hi to hain...dekhte dekhte kat jayega.... fir hum dono saath mein sirf isi mein concentrate karenge....
although pratigya was nt quite satisfied with this,yet she agreed to make her father happy-----thk hain papa.aarushi..agr tumlog yehi chahte ho...then am perfectly okay with it...
shyam ji----hum jante the...hamari beti hamari baat kabhi nhi talegi...aab tumlogo ka kal se college shuru ho raha hain...dhyan se padai karna thk hain?
pratigya and aarushi together----ji.....
...........................................................
it was one of the most expensive colleges of mumbai...pratigya and aarushi stood in the campus for at least 15 minutes and gazed at the huge place with bewildered expression on their faces...
aarushi poked pratigya with her elbow----prats...
pratigya-----hmmm... she was still gazing at the beautiful campus....
aarushi-------ye kitna bada hain yar....
pratigya------wohi to....its sooo beautiful.....
aarushi-----andar chale ya yehipar sara din khade rehna ka irada hain?
pratigya came back to her senses------huh? haan chalo chalo....
both of them walked towards the building.... on their way they came across a big basketball court,a tennis court,a beautiful maintained garden.... they became more and more surprised.. pratigya thanked her father in her mind..she had nvr expected that she wud be studying in such an awsum college....
she and aarushi were in different classes as she had taken commerce and aarushi literature....
they didnt have to face much difficulty in finding their respective classes bt wen they wished good luck to each other and separated,both of them started to feel little uneasy in the alien place....
pratigya stepped into her classroom,which was a medium-sized hall...and took her seat in the frst row itself... she felt nervous,no doubt,bt also somewhat relieved as the class was empty.. she glanced at her watch,it was 11.30 am.. and the class was supposed to start at 12.15..so 45 minutes to go... she wondered how aarushi wud be in her frst class...did she make frnds? aarushi was more talkative than her.. she wasnt a quiet grl herself....still aarushi was somethng impossible to imagine....
she smiled to herself and took out her books... as the minutes passed,slowly the class started to become crowded... the murmers increased...as some of the students recognized pratigya....although she wasnt aware of it until two grls,whuse names happened to be rashmi and koena...
rashmi held out her hand at pratigya with a sweet smile on her lips-----hi....am rashmi....
pratigya smiled back and shook hands with her...
rashmi-----kya hum dono yahaan baith sakte hain? she pointed to koena-----by the way she is koena...
pratigya------hiii...ya sure...tum dono baitho yahaan...
rashmi sat down followed by koena....
rashmi-----agar hum galat nhi hain...then are u THE pratigya saxena? saxena constructions ke malik ki beti whu happens to be a junior model too?
pratigya's cheeks turned red at once... it used to happen to her vry often,in spite of the fact that she hated it sometimes.... she nodded------yaa....main hi hun pratigya saxena...
koena-----wah!! tum to famous to yar....
pratigya blushed more...she cudnt help it-----nhi...aisa kuch nhi hain...woh to bas hum....
suddenly the class became quiet at once as the professor entered... he was a middle-aged serious looking man,with specs...
rashmi pressed pratigya's hand and signalled her to stand up.... she stood up.... rashmi whispered to her------professor sharma....department of accounts...
prof sharma told the students to sit down after wishing them good afternoon... then the boring accountancy class started.....
the class cntinued for abt an hour and after making evryone dead bore and frustrated,professor sharma at last left.....
pratigya let out a deep breath and stretched her hands-----uufff....ye kitna bore karta hain yaar....
rashmi giggled-----chalo canteen mein chalte hain...hum tumhe is college ke students aur professors ki history sunayenge.....
pratigya----haan chalo...waise bhi hume hamari ek dost se milna hain...woh humanities ke department mein hogi....
rashmi got up-----sure.....
the three new frnds left the classroom,hand in hand....
