CHAPTER 1
Saumya iyer, vandita's mother was glad on welcoming her two niece. She joyfully fed her payasam and showed her their new room. Vandita was in college. Ishita and mihika were going to join the college from tomorrow.
'Akka, what's this! College Is not started yet. Why are you studying now?? Please just chill sometimes.'
'Mihiku, what's wrong with it?? You very well know I love reading.'
'God!! Please transform her!!'
'Kuch bhi!! Now let me read and you can do whatever you want.'
Mihika sighed and started listening latest abcd2 tracks from her iPod.
6 pm , iyer home
'Amma, I'm back. Where're my lovely sisters??'
Mihika and ishita hugged vandita.
'Look at you ishu!! You've never ever seen the beauty parlour instead you look so gorgeous. I'm kinda jealous!! If you'll get ready like this mihiku, you'll look like a model!!'
Mihika winked at ishita. Ishita reddened and rushed to her room to dive into her studious world.
'Vandy akka, please give me the address of expert saloon nearby. You know how particular I'm about grooming.' Mihika was extreme beauty conscious.
'Oh sure my pretty sis!! By the way excited for the first day, eh ??' They both laughed and went out for their grooming sessions.
NEXT MORNING ...
'Mihiku , wake up baba. Else we'll be late.' Ishita forcefully dragged her out of the bed.
Ishita chose her simple green Kurta and black leggings. And a kada gifted by her mother. She didn't like ornaments but her mother's gift was something she couldn't deny.
'Let's go, vendy akka.' Mihika said coming out of the room.
'My god!! Someone is looking ravishing today!!' Vandita said looking at mihika. She had worn yellow one peace with bead earrings , necklace and diamond bracelet with a light make up.
'Thanks akka, now come on!! What are you waiting for Christmas??'
IN THE COLLEGE...
'Mihika, you wait , I'll go and meet dean first. I've to show registration forms.'
'Yup akka!!' Mihika said enjoying many eyes gazing at her. Vandu had gone to park the car in students' parking area.
Ishita hurried to the college entrance door. She saw a guy standing at the gate.
'Excuse me can you tell me where's dean pratap sharma's office??'
He looked at her. A beautiful but restless girl !!
'New here??'
'Yes , joined today!! I'll be obliged if you help me.'
'Go straight and take right.. There'll be a board indicating your destiny.'
'Thank you.' She took step to leave.
'Didn't get your name??'
'Ishita iyer.' She said and left.
OH RAMAN YOU IDIOT!! HOW THE HELL DID YOU FORGET!! VANDY TOLD YOU YESTERDAY!! MISS ISHITA!! YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME TIME TO NOTICE YOUR FEAUTURES!! ANYWAYS!!
'Hi baby!! Waiting for me!! My sweety.' Shagun came and hugged her.
Mihir and romi also came.
'Hey where's VANDY??'
Vandita came with mihika.
'Hey guys meet mihika. My cousin.' Everybody greeted her.
'Wow!! What a patakha!!' Romi thought looking at the diva in front of him.
'So miss mihika, you're new here. And we're used to give warm welcome party to the new comers. So what about today evening.' Mihir said.
'Yes of course . I'm kinda party girl.' Mihika confidently spoke.
'Vandu akka , mihika , where were you both?? I was finding you everywhere. You here??' Ishita became surprised on seeing raman with Vandu and other people.
'Ishu , these are my friends. Meet raman. Our group leader.'
'Nice to meet you again beautiful.' Ishita shook hands with him. She was feeling goosebumps at every single interaction with him.. Didn't know why!!
'Actually I don't go to parties.' Ishita said when mihika told her about party.
'Gosh! What a bore! Behenji!!' Shagun thought.
'Come on ishita!! Just a welcome party.' Mihir said.
Ishita accidently looked at raman. He was looking at her waiting for her 'yes'
'Okay.' She agreed.
'So guys ,, today 8 pm sharp at my place.'
IN THE LECTURE HALL
Mr. Gohel was describing 'Account calculas' to the Students. Ishita was sincerely writing down notes in her work book. She was unaware of the two eyes gazing constantly at her.
'She's pretty indeed. I didn't know madrasis can be this pretty. But I think she's not the one who'll hang out with me easily. It's a big challenge for me.' Raman was thinking looking at her. Suddenly a chit fell on his lap.
'Coffee today sweetheart???' Was written in it with a huge heart drawn in it. Shagun was always used to writing romantic foolish chits for him.
'I've soccer sessions today darling. Can we go tomorrow?' He wrote and threw it to her when Mr. Gohel turned to write on board.
'He's dating her!! How lucky she is!! I wish I were in her place.' Two girls were whispering about raman-shagun which was overheard by ishita.
'God!! Raman is so kind and gentle. He deserves better. ..' She thought.. 'But what do I care???' She again concentrated on her notes.
