Chapter : 1
The shrill sound of last bell echoed across the 550 acres of 'Ramakrishana Institute of Management'. Students started to rush outside the classes after a hectic day at studies. The till now calm ambience of the vast green campus, started to buzz with talks, gossips, whispers, laughter, making the peaceful silence alive.
Standing outside the huge black rusted iron gate, she admired the beauty of the serene institute. Sliding her cell phone out from her levis jeans pocket, the slender fingers dialed the desired number.
"Hello... Yeah... At the main entrance... Near the goddess Sarswati statue!... Yeah coming... Hmm"
Keeping the gadget back at its place, she headed towards the giant statue of goddess Saraswati. Arriving at the spot she was called, her big eyes ran across the crowd of students, settled in small groups around the small steps around the deity.
"Ahem... Someone is on time." Exclaimed an thin voice, startling her out of dazed state of searching. Smiling earnestly she embraced the dainty figure standing with a sling bag hanging on her right shoulder.
"Don't want to embrace death bed so soon..." Teasing with a humorous wink, Swara parted out. Shaking her head slightly, Niya dragged her towards a small group, settled at the topmost step.
"Guys, meet my lil' friend, Swara Bose." Almost shouting in glee, she attracted the attention among not only those who're concerned but disturbing others too. Pressing her lips together at her folly, she sat at the second step grinning.
Swara frowned at the endearment bestowed upon her by her best friend. Throwing her hands animatedly in frustration, she lightly smacked her shoulder and sat beside her.
"I'm not lil'." Muttering under her breath, she greeted the people sitting there with a smile. Earning a low chuckle from Niya, who immediately is on her feet and introduced the members.
"He's Sanskar, Vibha, Laksh and Siddhartha." She pointed each member, settled in a circle. After the initial pleasantries and a brief introduction from Swara, Vibha asked.
"Swara, last year of Interior designing, right?" Nodding in affirmation, her head leaned onto Niya's shoulder. Sanskar smiled softly, admiring the beautiful features of the amazing female he'd been introduced just now. She reminded him of his badi maa, with that delicate expression and soft nature.
Pushing her elbow nearly in the person's abdomen who's sitting beside her, Swara voiced out the genuine doubt staring straight at the object of her confusion, her mind is churning from the start.
"Sanskar, Is he mute?"
Following her gaze, he observed Siddhartha sitting ideally staring at his closed economics book. Bending in front, he brought his face close to her ears.
"Everybody is not me." Glint of mischief clear in his voice, furrowed her brows in a deep frown. Glancing sideways, she received a obnoxious wink. Passing extra sugary smile, she retorted with another teasing comment.
"You flatter yourself a way to much Mr?" The slow chuckles with tinged acknowledgement brought more ease in the already frank conversation.
"So what made lil' one grace our college with her presence?" Laksh teasingly rolled his tongue inside his cheek. Her big orbs squinted to fuller, cheekbones tinged with a embarrassment.
"We've to attend a family function, so I'd called my personal chauffeur." Niya playfully patted the back, who sat there with a big face.
"I'm going to be graduate this year for crying out loud!" She whined exasperated, the group guffawed at her expense.
"Still we're senior." Throwing a playful wink at her side, Sanskar hi - fied Laksh. The group burst into another bout of laughter entertained by her fuming looks.
"Being in first year of post graduation doesn't gives you right to bully." Swara retorted pointing her car key towards Sanskar, his eye brow shot up at the way key was pointed.
"Serious looks doesn't scare me." The poised lady giggled at the man, who was trying his seriousness to make her back off. Sanskar relaxed at the 3 foot wall and lifted his hips, confusing the rest sitting there, the key still pointed at his chest.
Sliding out the car keys from the back pocket, he got hold of the longest key and the mini sword fighting of keys used as swords, started. Laughter echoed harder than expected, laksh almost laid on the step holding his stomach.
After good ten minutes, the winner was declared very dramatically by Laksh, that is Sanskar. Ignoring the flaunting person, Swara nudged Niya reminding her of their commitment. Glancing at the wrist watch, gasping at rate time had flown, Niya picked up the small puma bag.
The two best friends stood up hurriedly and strode towards the parking lot accompanied by Vibha and Siddhartha, after bidding adieu to the brothers.
"Doesn't she seems similar to maa!" Laksh exclaimed, broking the silent stupor of her brother. His gaze fixed in the direction till the four silhouettes were vanished behind the huge entrance.
Sanskar nodded, amazed by the way his brother had voiced out the thought which he'd been considering for a while.

Plugging her earphones, she swirled on a slow number drumming in her ears. Finally, her slow walk after dinner resumed from dancing. Walking steadily, her thoughts wandered around that day, when she'd met him, uh them. Frankly speaking, today's day was amazing and cherry is the meeting with those amazing bunch of people.
Vibha is reserved yet sweet. Sid is silent. Laksh, the naughtiest of all and Sanskar, he's an enigma. Jovial at a moment and other second, serious.
The guy has charms! She quipped silently, humming the soft tune her strides were getting slower. Stopping at railings, her slender fingers curled on the rod and gaze fixed into oblivion. Mind was working on grasping the appearance of enigma of a person she met today. The square shoulders, lean yet muscled body and those playful teasing orbs.
Damn girl! Stop it, you've an assignment to complete! Cursing herself for carelessness, she walked inside her room which was equipped with an open terrace.
