THE GIRL NEXT DOOR : part 1
I can't believe my eyes.....she is happy and we did it! Thank you, thank you a ton Anu, now my mom is remarried and I have a dad! ” Rishi exclaimed.
Anu smiled pleasantly.
Sam is Happy but jealous at the same time.
........................
2.5 years ago. “Excuse me... ”
Anu who was engrossed in penning down her college life beginning in diary, rushed out see who knocked the door.
“Can I borrow your broom.... You, you are Anu! ” the voice said.
“Yeah. And Sam, Sameera you are!” Anu exclaimed.
“Yeah, it's been 5 years. It's pleasure meeting you in the same college. ” Sameera smiled.
And in no time, they talked about how they had been to same school from 5-7, how they used to play together in lunch break and everything and exchanged numbers.
“Well Sam, life is just unpredictable. Isn't it? You and me here again! I have come here three days ago. I took ECE .”
“I'm here to pursue Computer science engineering. Well, I gotta clean and arrange my room. I stay in your opposite room BTW. ”
“Sure. Any help? ”
“No, I will manage. Bye Anu! ” Sam grinned.
“You forgot to take broom. ” Anu smiled passing her one.
“Ooh, yeah! ” Sam smiked burrying face in her hands, her old habbit.
...................................
It didn't take much time for Sam and Anu to become good friends again. It's not like they eat and roam together in the new city. They are in different branches and obviously have different friend circles. They gotta spend more time with their batchmates.
But yeah, still they managed to talk for sometime almost everyday.
Their departments are adjacent to each other too and just .5km away from hostel. They would go and come together everyday, share food, crack jokes and whatnot.
“You both should stop wandering together. It's difficult for guys like me to decide whom to look at. ” Sam friend said.
“Thanks for the compliment! But that doesn't matter. ” Sam smiled.
Anu chose to be silent, nodding head at Sam's witty nature.
Yeah, Sam is extrovert and funny. Anu takes time to open up and talks based on her comfort level on bond with people. And yes, both are beautiful ladies with inbuilt smiling faces.
.............................
Time quickly ran it had been a month.
“All the first years are going to have freshers party on next week. Any one intersted in performing can inform the college club members, ” A notice by Principal in notice board, cheered up everyone.
Girls hostel was now like a birds sanctuary the whole evening. Sam is good dancer, Anu is good in writing and is a good orator. Bit sadly there were clubs for singing, music, dance, spoken English, painters, photography but not for writing.
Anu felt kind of disappointed, but she accompanied Sam to the dance club who was enrolling her name.
“Well, I added you in WhatsApp group for dancers. You can decide you want to do a solo performance or in a group by discussing in the group. Final selections will be on Sunday. We have event on Tuesday.” Third year and an active member of Dance club said. “Any one interested in dance can practise here,” he added.
......................................
The D-day had come. Two second years were hosting the event. After being done with all the speeches, students cheered up for cultural events.
Sam and her team did well. There was grace in her performance.
All in sudden, the music player gave troubles and the event was halted.
“Anyone likes to entertain people in the mean time? You can crack a joke or say a poem...anything! ” The girl hosting, announced.
People weren't ready to go onto the Dias and have whole focus on them all in sudden. But Anu's eyes are sparkling!
She went onto the stage and recited a beautiful 'college life poem' written by her. There were applauses everywhere.
And she was smiling there confidently. Her eyes always hold positive spirits!
“The next performance is from Rishi and team from CSE department. ”
And, they stole the show, especially Rishi! No one took their eyes off him dancing. Their team work was amazing. Rishi was as stylish and dashing like his name too.
After nearly an hour, there was his name announced again.
“Let's cheer up for Rishi who is gonna sing and play guitar on live! ”
And it was like some professional singer was giving a live performance. Boys especially chanted his name.
And the day was a memorable one for all the first years. It was full of fun, tasty food and introduction of new talents to college. And adding extra pleasure they announced the following days as holiday for first years to relax and rest. And yes principal won their hearts again. He was already seeing no severe ragging goes in college.
............
“You did a great job. ”
“Your poem is amazing! ” Anu and Sam appreciated each other.
“And that Rishi, stole the show, as expected. Multi talented he is. I met him in dance club, my classmate too. Decant and good guy. ”
“Is it! Yes, he will have good career in music it seems. ” Anu said agreeing with Sam.
…………………..
Soon they gave their first mid-exams after a week.
“ 1-2 years, If you want to be a member of clubs, you must attend meetings and seminars of English club, perform in flash mobs, learn and showcase your photography skills...participate in competitions. There will be attendance and you won't be provided with certificate and membership if you skip. 3-4 year students from now have the privilege to be a part of it in their free time only. ” The notice board has something to talk about again.
Obviously Sam enrolled in Dance club. As the college was prestigious, there would be meetings, flashmobs and competitions often.
4th years were busy with campus placements and other job preparations.
Most of the third years aren't that free either. So, it's a ritual here for 1-2 years to organise and others to participate.
As second years have mid-exams, the whole burden is now on first years to organise a Flash-mob in near by shopping mall, which was very popular one in the city.
Rishi was busy doing all those things. A dancer among girls was helping him in all the stuffs. Sam was a happy and active member of it.
………………
The college was very strict interms of studies too. The teaching environment, labs, response of students, assignments everything was taken care off. Students get to involve in other activities in their free time. And obviously everyone was happy with it.
Gladly there was no need to write lengthy records and all. Everything was practical and student friendly.
“Face of college was completely changed by the principle in just 3 years of his service,” final years often said recollecting their first year memories.
............
“College - club - roaming with friends - chitchats - works - fun. That's how first years should be productive and enjoy life at same time. You need not read the whole day, just an hour/two is enough,” he often quotes. And students happily try following it.
Sam and Rishi soon became good friends as they got to work and organise often.
“I get to see all the clubs, involve in seminars, come and see you all dancing, can also learn, annoy photography club members to teach. Though I'm not memeber of any, I feel like I'm doing all the stuffs. Lol! ” Anu often quotes and Sam wouldn't mind laughing at same joke again and again.
…………..
As the days passed, Sam would be chanting Rishi's name in front of Anu and tell about him. His dancing skills, polite nature how he manages studies and all.
And infront of Rishi she would soemtiems tell about Anu, how good she was and all.
And ofcouse Anu noticed Rishi in the dance club everytime she accompanied Sam to the club. Sam would make her dance sometiems and they both laugh their lungs out. But Anu and Rishi were never introduced to each other.
And ofcouse , all first year students paid visit to their homes twice in the mean time during second saturday's and Sunday's.
Anu always participated in essay writing and demo competitions and managed to win, her name would always appear on winners list on college instgarm page and notice board. She also started an Instagram page for writing and was promoted by college as the content was good.
Principal liked the whole batch very much. Ofcouse there were disturbances, fights, misunderstandings and all between students. But they never took much time to resolve.
……..............
Four months flew and they gave their mid-2 exams.
Anu and Sam help each other in waking up in the morning, without bring late to college and motivate each other to study.
The semester was about to start in a month.
In the mean time, Rishi and Sam became very good friends.
What do you think made Anu and Rishi good friends? What made Sam jealous?
