Part - 1
"I can't do this" Anandi sighed as her heart fluttered hard beneath her chest.
"But Anandi it's just 15 minutes left for your turn…they will disqualify you" phooli chided trying to snatch her cell.
"And if I will enter the contest alone…they will disqualify Shiv! And you know I can't let that happen…at any cost!!" Anandi snatched her cell back.
"So what are we going to do now…he is not picking up his phone"
"That is what's worrying me phooli…you know how particular Shiv is…and this contest, it means so much to him. It's his dream. He can't be this careless about it"
"Anandi, shall I ask you something?"
"Pls phooli I am in no mood to answer any stupid question of yours…let me call Shiv"
"Anandi if it hadn't been Shiv….would you have taken so much pain for your team mate?"
Anandi's heart skipped a beat as Phooli confronted her straight in the face. But really If it was not for Shiv…would she take so much of trouble? "Shiv…" the name itself was enough to leave Anandi restless and out of breath.
"Phooli pls.." she sniffled a few held back tears " It's nothing like that….well if it had been some one negligent I would give a damn but Shiv, he is not like that. For god sake he is the topper of the college and we all know how focused he is. So I know something is wrong…and I need to find it"
"Anandi do you really think I am gonna buy this stupid explanation you are giving me"
"Fine! Do whatever you want…I am out of here"
"Are you mad…where are you going…its just 10 minutes to go"
"I give a damn phooli! I need to see Shiv…right now!"
"Wth! You will go to boy's hostel? Anandi have you lost it? Just remain here I will send Armaan to look for Shiv…" Phooli snubbed trying to stop Anandi by arm but the later paid no heed to her shouting friend.
Phooli had never been able to fully understand her impulsive pal. Though they had been together since fifth standard but Anandi's unpredictable nature always left phooli in a state of perplexity. Sometimes she was as sweet as honey while at others, as fiery as a chilli. For the whole college she was a livewire, but underneath that extrovert and peppy lass, laid a soft and tender young girl who was full of love and compassion.
Looking around stealthily, Anandi tip-toed to Shiv's room. But to her horror, he couldn't be seen anywhere!!
