Heart Will Go On
This is my first ever fictional writing. The title is inspired by Celine Dion's "My Heart will go on" song from Titanic. This is something very special to me as that was the first movie I watched with my now husband, then boyfriend.

Prologue:
The college special bus came a screeching halt. All the first year students got off the bus nervously, scared of the second and senior year students. They all tried to dash into their classrooms without being caught by any of them. After all, it was first day of college, attending a university in Bhopal. Bhopal university was number one in the vicinity.
As a group of girls were trying to escape the hungry eyes of their seniors, a shrill voice said "Hey you, yeah you there - in the white chudidar - the one with the red chunni, come here...hey dont you hear me, yeah you...come right here, cant you hear me??"
The girl stopped, turned with a slight panic look and slowly walked to the group. She made sure she did not look them in the eyes.
"So what, is your name Chandni or something? why are you all dressed like that on your first day? you think you are some heoine?...and who is that with you? Bring her along here with you..."
Both the girls now were looking down, heart pacing ..wondering what silly acts they will be asked to do...
One of the senior girls who looked so serious and rude asked them - " so do you have any names or not? spit them out...!"
The girl in white responded - "Hi, I am Mansi" and the other girl who was taller than Mansi, slowly looked up with eyes as full as the moon, hair as black as the night sky... and slowly answered "I am Aarti"!
Suddenly, they heard a screeching sound on the main road. Where they were, they couldnt see what it is or who it is. Their heads turned towards the sound of the direction.
At the scene -
A young man got out of the car, looked at the guy who skid from his bike. He walked over to the bike and asked "Are you ok? did u get hurt?" It was student from the university, driving excitedly to see the first year girls. He said he was fine and left.
"Yash! Is everything ok?" called a voice from the car. Yash looked at his elder brother Pankaj and said - "yeah bhaiyya, it was a student, it seems he was in a hurry to see if his future wife was there already". pankaj burst into a laughter. "Ok, leave it, lets go. Babuji must be waiting for us. Its your first day at work. lets go".
