SERENDIPITY
"Gunjannn! Come fast, it's 7:30 PM, we are getting Late"
" Coming, Maya... Gimme just 2 minutes"
It was the Day for SVC College Reunion for Gunjan's Batch. She was going to meet all her friends almost after 5 years & she was too excited. Wearing the Perfect White Burberry Dress with a Gucci Handbag, Jimmy Choo High Heels & some make up, she made sure to be dressed to Kill. She was usually very particular with her appearances according to situations & today she made sure to be impeccably dressed up, obviously wanting to impress people around her. She had always been the Diva of the College & she still wanted to be known for that tag. She picked out the BEST collection out of her wardrobe & was finally set to go.
Maya was thrilled looking at Gunjan & understood what took her so long. Both the Girls after complementing each other, left for the Party.
SVC is still the same, thought Gunjan. All her college memories, Good & Bad, flashed through her eyes, making her feel very nostalgic. She had missed her college, but she never knew she would be so much affected after finally arriving there. She entered the premises & was so surprised to see all her friends. Everyone went ahead & hugged her & she felt great being among them. During her days here, she was known as "The Snobbish Girl with an Attitude Problem". But that was not the case. She had to come to Banaras after her mom's death to live at her Aunt's place. She was just not comfortable being among the people there & her aloofness was taken more as "attitude problem". Slowly she began to adjust among the people & made a few friends, all thanks to her loving cousin Rachna. Gunjan Smiled & wondered if even Rachna would be here. It had been 5 years since she had talked to her. Rachna was her only friend & support when she came to Banaras. They used to have so much fun, as their memories started flowing in her mind, Gunjan excused herself from the Crowd & moved towards the Garden which was spacious & empty. Letting the Cool breeze mingle with her Skin & Hair, she started recollecting those beautiful memories.
Rachna was the complete opposite of Gunjan. Shy, quite, an intovert & she loved her family immensely. Soon Rachna became her Best Friend cause she could very well understand what Gunjan was going through. Rachna was a very ambitious person, her passion being Hockey. She wanted to pursue it but uncle Dayal never allowed her to do so. Garg family was extremely loving but also conservative & they did not allow their girls to take active interest in sports or extra curriculars. Gunjan recollected how Rachna had finally managed to come out of her shell & finally act like a teenager.
Once they had gone out for a movie, bunking college & without informing the family. That was the 1st time, Rachna ever went for a movie ALONE with Friends & was hell scared to even think of the consequences. Chaaya & Gunjan were enjoying every moment of Rachna's Panic & began mocking at her. They had already surpassed their deadline & Rachna was scared to death now. On their way, they had come across a hooligan, who tried to make passes at them by holding their hands & touching them. As soon he pulled Rachna's dupatta, Rachna was mad with anger. She caught hold of him by his shoulder, & kicked him where it hurts the most. The Guy was unable to control the pain in his groin & started crying hysterically. Both Gunjan & Chaaya stared at her with their mouths forming a big O & were shocked at the Rachna standing in front of them. Gunjan had then realised what a strong & independant girl was lying within her meek sister & had felt proud of her. Gunjan started chuckling at such memories & recollected them all.
After Graduation, Gunjan's father had come to take her to Australia with him. Gunjan really didn't want to go but had to for the sake of her father. She had promised Rachna & her shail maasi to always be in contact with them. After leaving for australia, she came to know that Rachna's marriage had been fixed. She knew, Rachna was not willing to get married as she wanted to pursue her passion, hockey, even further at State Level. Their Coach, Rajeev was always very supportive of Rachna pursuing hockey & encouraged her to follow her dreams. Gunjan had a little crush on Rajeev but never pursued him out of fear of rejection.
Just a few days before the wedding, Gunjan had finally came to know that Rachna had ran away from home to pursue her dream leaving her impending marriage behind. People incuding her own family were cursing Rachna for degrading the family name but Gunjan was very happy with this decision of Rachna, along with Shail. They both knew how much Rachna was passionate about her game & they truly wanted to support her.
Rachna was not in contact with anyone including, Shail & Gunjan for all these years. She was a Star now & a member of the National Women's Hockey Team & played for India. Gunjan used to follow her news, articles & interviews & was extremely proud of her cousin. It had been 5 long years since they had met & Gunjan really wanted to meet Rachna this time.
Just when Gunjan was about to turn to go inside, She heard a voice saying, Gunjan, which took her out of her reverie. She turned to look & couldn't believe her eyes. Rachna was standing in front of her, smiling at her. She wore a very pretty Red Dress with high heels & suave make up looking very beautiful. Gunjan couldn't control herself & she ran towards Rachna & hugged her tightly. Rachna hugged her back & both of them were filled with Joy looking at each other. They just couldn't say anything & kept giggling & tearing up. All they could say was-
"I missed you Gunjan"
"I missed you too Rachna"
They started walking in the Garden, recollecting all their memories silently. Finally Gunjan spoke.
"Wow Rachna! Your a star... I mean you play for the National Women's Hockey Team, that is like WOW! You must be the 1st person from Banaras to do so. Damn It! I am so proud of you! Gunjan was bursting with excitement.
"Thank You Gunjan. Even I could never believe that my Passion would take me here. I am thankful to you for encouraging me always which gave me the confidence to follow my Passion. I Love You Gunjan".
"Awww Rachna, I Love You too, always & forever". Gunjan said hugging her.
"Waise Gunjan tum bhi toh kitni badi fashion designer ho. Really I am so happy for you"
"Awww Rachna. I know. You know how much I Love Fashion & all isiliye. I really enjoy it". Gunjan said smiling. "You know Rachna, I came to this reunion just to meet you again. You can't imagine how much I missed you all these years. I am so attached to you & I just can't imagine how I could've survived after Mom's death, if not for you. You are like the Best Gift ever for me & I can't thank god enough to have a sister like you. It's indeed my lucky day today to be re-united with you again".
"Yes Gunjan. Even I am very lucky to have you in my life. I don't ever want to lose you. You are my Best Sister, My Best Friend in the entire world & the One I can always count upon. Thanks for always being there for me Gunjan, Thanks a LOT.
They both felt extremely lucky for the bond they shared. They truly believed that they were lucky to have each other in their life, they knew they could always Count on each other for everything, in happiness & in Sadness, in Good times & in Bad times. Both couldn't thank the Lord & each other enough for the wonderful gift they both had in form of each other. They both were the Best Friends, Best Sisters to each other & always wished to be the same.
Both smilingly went towards the entrance to join their other friends & soon the crowd gathered around the famous hockey player Rachna Garg, completely overwhelming her. Gunjan smiled at Rachna & excused herself for a Drink. She heard someone calling out to her, It was Rajeev. Gunjan was so pleasantly surprised to see him there, she knew he had resigned from college long time back & she was seeing him after very long too. She went ahead to greet him.
"OMG Sir, what a pleasant surprise. Your here, I can't believe it". Gunjan exclaimed.
"I came here to meet you... umm, I mean my favorite batch of student's & BTW I am not your Sir anymore so please call me Rajeev... You look really pretty". Rajeev smiled at Gunjan complementing her & Gunjan responded with a very sweet smile.
After talking to each other for sometime, Rajeev asked Gunjan for a Dance. Gunjan again had those butterflies in her stomach which she usually had 5 years ago when she used to see him. She murmured a silent thank you to God & went ahead to dance with him. Today was indeed a Lucky Day for her! =D
