Chapter #1.
Stealing glances...
Sunrays washed her face, as she squeaked and slipped in her covers to avoid light. After a minute or two, she popped out of the covers and opened her eyes slowly welcoming the new day of her life. She sat up lazily, resting on the bed back. Yawning against her palm, she stepped out of her bed. She said her morning prayers and folded the sheets. Running her fingers though her silky long hair, she held them in a ball. Loosely placing a clip over her hair, she headed for a bath.
Giving herself a warm shower, she entered the room back, with her bathrobe wrapped tightly around her body, she started choosing what to wear. After a momentary confusion in her decision, she dressed herself in a blue shalwar suit.
Standing in front of the mirror and brushing her hair, she was looking like a flowing stream of water.
She dried her hair and tied them in a tight braid. Spreading her duppatta properly over her chest, she was about to head out of her room, when she stopped hearing familiar voices.

"I am so sorry for being late guys", mayank stepped out of his home shouting, and he was greeted with a loud cheer from his friends, who were waiting for him since the last half an hour,
"finally tu ne ghr se kadam bahir nikala", gaurav said huffing,
"yar wo", he paused to take a bite from the apple in his hand, when neel snatched the apple and took a bite instead, "yar wo main samne wali ko khirki se dekh raha tha", neel imitated mayank, munching the apple, and all of them started laughing. Mayank snatched the apple back, "stay in your limits ok!", he took a bite himself.
"ohhhhhh! Possessive'hmmmmmmm.."
All of them started producing these sound affects in chorus and mayank immediately looked at the terrace of the home opposite. "shut up guys!, kia pagalpan hai!, ab dair nahi ho rahi hai?, lets leave!", his voice was genuinely strict and all of them repressed their laughter, "yar pagal hum nahi tu hia!, idiot!", neel hit him on his forehead and before mayank could say something more, neel sat in the car and mayank himself took his seat, stealing a glance at the terrace again from the corner of his eye.
After four adjusted themselves in the jeep, and the car rushed down the road leaving a fading noise of their loud voices.

She nervously came out on terrace, seeing the flowing dust that was left behind by the fast speed of the car. She kept looking at the road for a few moments, with a beautiful shy smile playing on her lips..
