The Unseen Inhuman (Chapter 1)
It all started when Lara Sen left her native city of Kolkata and went to Delhi University for her Post Graduation in Psychology. She was a simple girl with a lot of dreams in her eyes. She was not only studious but also very talented. Sketching, singing, dancing, poetry, acting....she was good at everything. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean and lashes seemed like beautiful mountains which guard the seas. Deep brown curls and her locks gently kissing her dusky face. Her smile was as sparkling as the pearls of the ocean and her heart the kindest. She was full of love, a human with humanity.
"Oh my Good Lord! I can't be late on the first day ," Lara exclaimed looking at her watch striking 8:59 am. The lecture would begin at 9:10am but as she was new there, she had thought that she would reach early to find her classroom. She started walking faster nervously.
"Ahhhhh," she shouted as she tripped over someone but thankfully didn't fall on the ground as that person held her hand quick enough. "Nothing is right today," she murmured and apologized to the stranger. She hadn't looked at his face all this while. When she was stable enough she looked at him to find the most handsome guy she had ever met. There was a strange feeling and her heart beat a lot more faster. But before she could again take a glance, she remembered she had to go to class. She ran as fast as a deer who runs from it's predator.
Soon the lectures was over. Sitting in the canteen with a coffee in her hand, reading a novel she remembered about the guy she had met in the morning. Being in a hurry she hadn't seen him properly but one thing she remembered very clearly was his eyes. They weren't brown but somewhat like deep red as if it's breathing fire. It seemed as if the eyes had a lot to tell...a lot of stories...a lot of secrets...soon she lost herself in his thoughts.
"I wanna see him again. But who should I ask....I know no one who can help me out. And what if someone asks why do I want to see him? I would have no answers to that."
"Hey sweetie...can I sit with you...if you don't mind?" asked a girl in a shrill voice. She was standing right in front of her. "Ofcourse ...please have a seat," Lara politely gestured to the empty chair in front of her. The girl sat down and smiled at Lara. "Hello...I'm Anita...are you new here? What's your name?" She asked her curiously.
"Yup I'm new...I'm Lara Sen...actually I know nobody here...I just shifted from Kolkata 2 days ago," Lara smiled at her. "Oh wow KOLKATAAAAA," Anita sounded too excited...."I'm from Delhi only ...I've never been there but I've seen about the Durga Pooja on T.V....you know those gorgeous idols, those pandals, those busy streets, women wearing white sarees with red borders....and of course the famous ROSHOGULLA and SONDESH...You have to get these sweets when you come after vacation okay? Or I've another idea...you can take me with you," Anita said laughing...and Lara joined her too. Soon they were busy talking and sharing some stories with each other.
Lara thought to herself...Thank God my first day wasn't that boring. Atleast I got a friend....and ofcourse crashed with the most handsome stranger!
