CHAPTER - 1:
Blooming Tulip
Nandini we have to take her to the hospital..she is alive...we can't leave her like this...!!
The Middle-aged man picked up the fragile frame in his arms and carried her towards their jeep.
This was Mr. Mathur...recently got transferred to Mussoorie from Panchgani...as the head of Forests..i,e..forest officer and here he came to have a look of this place with his very dear adorable daughter Nandini...!!
Daddy ye thik to ho jayegi na...she asked innocently out of concern.
Beta she is injured aur chotein or ghav kafi gahre bhi hain par aap chinta mat karo ye jaldi hi thik ho jayegi...!!! He said seeing her pale face.
He caressed Nandini's head affectionately after placing the girl comfortably on the back seat of his jeep.
Nandini beta, you sit with her okay??
Yeah daddy...!! She answered him and made herself comfortable on the back seat.
Mr. Mathur Drove towards the city at a high pace, the road was not so smooth as it was hilly area of forests...as a result they were having a hard time adjusting themselves through the bumpy pathway.
Just then Nandini took a glance towards her and saw her head hanging down due to the lack of support, on an impulse she shifted herself close to her and kept her head on her lap to give support.
Mr. Mathur saw this from the rear view mirror and smiled lovingly seeing his daughter's worry and care for that unknown girl.
Soon they reached the hospital and admitted her there.

Prithviii...jaldi bahar aa na yaar I am getting late..!!! Randhir yelled one more time and banged the door hard.
Oye Darwaza mat tod dio mai sharif ghar ka ladka hu samjha...!!! He laughed.
Wait for 5 mins I am coming...!! He replied with the same force.
Jaldiii and I mean JALDIII...!!!!!!!!!!!
''
Prithvi and Randhir were friends from last two years and by luck roomies too. They were completing their last level of Academics from Delhi Public school R.K Puram.
It was their routine to fight with each other for small things and bathroom was one of those...!!
Both being a late riser hat to fight that who would go first.
Oye kitnaaa time lega tuhhh...!!! Randhir yelled.
Sometimes I feel that I might share my room with some chhuimui girl you know ...!!! He giggles as the word chhuimui got a funny memory.
'''
Randhir give me my clips back...! She shouted.
No not that easy girl...come take it on your own...!! He smirked his signature smirk.
Sanyukta was sitting on her bed silently reading a novel..Her hairs were tied up in a loose bun.
Randhir came from the window behind the bed and without making any sound, he let her hairs free from the clutch...Now you look even more horrible...!! He commented and giggled infuriating her.
Randhirrr...!!! She screamed.
Sanyukta..you know what tuhhh chhuimui hai...!! He said smirking.
Achha...??? She asked with a cocky smile and with that she pushed him hard and he fell down on the bed.
The clip was now again clutching her hairs. See I took it...I am not a chhuimui...keep that in your mind MCP...!! She said proudly.
''''
Why are you laughing so much?? Prithvi asked curiously as he heard Randhir giggle to himself.
Arrehh nothing yaar just remembered something of Dehradun...! He said casually, a constant smile adorning his handsome features.
Prithvi knew that Randhir will not tell him anything this time also as he never did...but he liked his friend smiling...the lost look on his face was evident and it was good...good for something he didn't know but he could feel...!
'''
Prithvi was standing there in front of the mirror praising his own features.
Ahhh you're handsome...!! He winked at his reflection.
That cocky smile ...those two dimples under his left eye...!!!
'''
Randhir's cell phone sang its tune and it flashed Agrawal Uncle'.
Randhirrr...some Agrawal Uncle calling you..!! prithvi called him.
Yeah I am coming and with that, Randhir instantly came out and took the call.
Hello...hanji Uncle pranam..!! He greeted the man on the other side.
Prithvi was constantly observing him.
Jeete raho beta..!! The person blessed him and a smile crept up on his face.
Uncle kya baat hai aap ne achanak call kia...everything alright??
Beta... the old man trailed off.
Ji uncle boliye...!!
Beta she is no more...!! The old man chocked on his words.
Whattt...!! Randhir was shocked out of his wits,
The cell phone fell off his grip.
****
The girl shifted to ICU immediately.
Doctor approached the duo again. Sir what relation do you share with that girl?? Doctor asked them.
Doctor... Mr. mathur had to think of something as he couldn't tell the doctor that he found her in a forest lying in the pool of blood.
She is my sister Nalini...!! Nandini exclaimed instantly.
Ohh okay ...please fill the forms...!!
But...how did she get this much injured??? I mean it seems like someone had purposely pushed her to fall down...!! The doctor stated suspiciously.
Doctor I will tell you afterwards but please first treat her...!! Mr. Mathur said.
Okay Mr..????
Shivraj Singh Mathur...!! He introduced himself and this my Daughter Nandini...!!
The doctor took leave from them after some formal talks.
''''
Daddy I hope you are not upset with me??? Nandini asked her dad innocently.
Why would I be beta??? He questioned back.
We don't know her at all still I introduced her as my sister...Is it ok with you??
Yeah princess...it's all fine infect thank you beta..for the moment I was stuck and u saved us..!!
Jab tak hum iske parents ko nahi dhund lete hume isse apne sath rakhna hoga...she is in some danger I think..!! Mr. Mathur stated thoughtfully.
*****
Randhir bumped himself on the bed...so many thoughts running in his mind.
Randhir..kya hua?? Prithvi asked concerned.
Kuch nahi tu ja prithvi...I have to solve some puzzles...!! Randhir said commandingly.
Prithvi was worried seeing his condition but he knew that there was no use of asking something...his friend needed to deal with his life on his own...!! Thoughtfully he left the hostel room not knowing what coming to his way ahead was.
