Kiya and her life: Chapter 1
It was a very important day for Kiya as the 12th results were to be announced anytime soon and she would get goose bumps whenever she thought about her results and the expectations from her parents. Every parent wants their child to excel in whatever it does, so she was worried if she failed to satisfy them. Now it was time to declare the results. She was sitting in the classroom with Ruchi praying she would get better marks. She couldn't hear anything but her heart beats which was beating faster than normal. The teacher finally called Kiya and said that she had secured 87%.
Kiya's joy knew no bound. She felt she was on the top of the world. She immediately came home and gave this news to her mom. Her mom hugged her with joy. She called her dad and told him too. He was also overjoyed. Soon she called Ruchi to know her marks which she forgot to ask out of excitement.
"Hi'" said she.
"Hi, Kiya,"Ruchi answered.
"Hey how much did you score?"
"86% and what about you"
"Hey congo, I scored 87%"
"Congrats to you too. Hey I'll talk to you later; I'm busy at the moment and don't forget our CET results are gonna be announced on 12 of this month."
"Ya I know that. Ok bye. See you later."
Kiya and Ruchi knew each other since 10th std.
Kiya was never close to anyone in her life as much she was to Ruchi. She cared for Ruchi the most. Kiya was extrovert by nature. Her too many friends explained it but no one understood her so well as much as Ruchi did.
And the day of her CET results also arrived. She got 187/200 in PCM. She was jumping like a kid all around her house. Her best friend Ruchi got 175/200 in the same subject as hers. They wanted to join the best college in town. She called Ruchi to know which college was she planning to join.
"For me it would be V.J.T.I. and what about you?" she asked.
"I'm still confused whether to choose Sardar Patel or V.J.T.I. or something else"
"Ok so when are you going to fill the forms?"
"On Monday. Are you coming with me?"
" I don't have any problem."
She filled the forms of more than 10 colleges. It was totally unnecessary. Finally, the day arrived. The lists of the colleges were supposed to be out. They both were nervous. They had decide V.J.T.I. The first list closed at 188. Kiya felt like killing the person who decided merit list, she was so close to it. Ruchi however did not mind not getting in the first list,she thought she would definitely crack in the second list.
That night passed very slowly. Kiya told Ruchi that she would join V.J.T.I. but was still very confused. Kiya was too baffled to decide anything. She didn't know the reason why she did not want admission in V.J.T.I. Many thoughts started coming up.
What to tell Ruchi? Why am I not being able to decide? What's happening?
She was totally pissed off. Kiya couldn't remove these thoughts out of her mind.
She went to her mom's room;she told her everything. Kiya's mom was more like a friend to her so she shared everything with her mom.
"What do I do mom? I'm so much in turbulence. I never thought choosing college would be so difficult!"she said sadly.
"Don't worry ."
"How can I stop worrying?"she asked.
"See V.J.T.I. and Sadar Patel are amongst the top colleges. Now instead of thinking about Ruchi, you think of yourself, you see which one is convenient to you. You should save time for your studies. Engineering is not everyone's cup of tea. Don't get confused and think practically. I and dad are always with you. No pressures from our side. Whatever you choose, we are with you."
"Thanks mom, you are absolutely right. I will go for a convenient option. Now I need to sleep. Goon night." Kiya bid good night and came to her room.
She plugged her headphones in her ears and played her favorite song- Saans mein teri
" Sann... mein teri.. saans mili toh...
Mujhe saans aayi mujhe saans aayi...
Mujhe saans aayi...(2)
Rooha ne chooli...jism ki khushboo..
Tu jo paas aayi... tu jo paas aayi..
Tu jo paas aayi..
(Listen to the song -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px7tG5PBAD4)
Listening to the song she felt relaxed and completely forgot about colleges. Soon she started thinking of a boy, to whom she may dedicate this song. She wanted a boy, whose hand she can hold and listen to this song infinite times. She wanted someone, for whom Kiya would be his first priority. She had endless expectations from her would be Mr. Right. Soon she went to sleep, thinking of her Mr. Right.
