Chapter Three
It's a brand new day for the Shastri family, or to be more precise an official first day in this new and totally alien city, Mumbai. Kavya is basically a morning person. She always wakes up by 5.30 early in the morning. Her morning routine is followed by yoga, meditation and last but not the least, reading Geeta. She never fails to begin her day with these three activities. But today she broke her protocol. As Kavya was totally drained off with energy last night she didn't wake up to her usual timing. She was still getting habitual with this new environment, so it would take some time for her to get accustomed with her daily regime.
Kavya was asleep until her mom came in and drew the curtains out so that the morning sun can portray it's shining rays on her and somehow she wakes up.
"Kavya...wake up... See the time beta...", her mom said, shaking her up.
"Ummm....5 mins Maa..", Kavya uttered groggily.
The morning rays find their way to Kavya's face and made it shine bright and gloomy. With squinted eyes, she woke up and marched straight towards the balcony. The seldom morning sun rays and chilling breeze, lightened her face with a bright smile. She stretched her arms wide as in to accommodate the entire morning sequence within herself and be with it throughout. The morning breeze has already made Kavya feel fresh and filled her with zeal. To revive her energy, she made her a coffee and perched on the swing. She was lost in the cold vibes of breeze and hot coffee.
"Kavya...Go and get ready. We need to shop our grocery and some basic necessary items today. Shah uncle, last night recommended a shopping mart which is reasonable and is just 20 mins at a distance. So buck up...Dad will be home soon.."
"Okay...Just give me a moment will get ready soon....",
All three of them headed towards the shopping mart and shopped a lot of things for their new home along with their grocery and basic necessities. Meanwhile, Kavya picked some simple decorative articles on their way to back.
It was all evening by the time they reached back, but none of them were tired as they still need to decorate their house. So the moment they got in, engrossed themselves with setting things in their right place. Things were now placed accordingly and the new house now looked even more homey and lively.
Kavya, after finishing her dinner went downstairs for a little walk. As her society had a small garden within it, Kavya didn't have to think much of where should she go for a walk as to relax herself. She came straight inside it and folding her legs sat on the green grass in the garden. The dark blue sky was wholly embellished with glittering stars. The presence of crescent moon only added beauty to the already alluring sky.
Kavya was lost in her own ocean of thoughts when a sudden tap on her shoulder startled her. She turned back and saw a familiar face smiling at her.
"Heyy....", Yash waved a hi.
"Ummm...can I..??..", Yash signaled Kavya of joining her in to which Kavya nodded. Yash removed his shoes and made himself comfortable by folding his legs and sat down, accompanying Kavya on the grass.
"Heyyy....", Kavya greeted him with a smile. They shared some sporadic smiles as both were dubious of what to talk. When it was getting a little awkward Yash mustered to initiate the conversation.
"I always come down for a little walk after my dinner. Seems even you are in this league.."
"Yes....Just needed some fresh air...and here, it is amazing... So soothing..", Kavya exclaimed.
"Indeed... Anyways, how was your first official day in our city... Hope you liked it..", Yash asked.
"Ohh...yes...It was tiring actually. We went for shopping, all groceries and stuff..then arranging them was even more tiresome. so just to make myself relax I came downstairs... By the way... How was your day....??"
"I was at my friend's place for a group project so whole day we all did only masti...group was nothing to do with it...", both giggled.
"I know...being with friends and doing serious studies..!!! Two opposite poles. It never happens...", Kavya chuckled.
"I agree....", Yash concurred.
"Hey your family is too sweet. That was a nice gesture....they came to greet us and even in the morning uncle helped us with the shopping queries."
"That's gujju-gujju connection... No, but on a serious note they were curious to know about our new neighbors and you know what we are so glad to have found you people. And please I'm not trying to flatter you..", Yash chuckled and there hit again a lighter moment of laughter between them.
"Hey... You told my dad that on Monday the college will display their first cut off list right.!!! It means tomorrow. Tell me what time we have to go there...??", Kavya inquired.
"Ya...be ready by 10 am...It takes only an hour by train...", He replied.
"Okay...I think I should go now...It's been an hour down here...", with that Kavya stood up and was getting ready to go.
"Ya...me too...Wait a second..", Yash stood and faced Kavya.
"So now can I officially consider you as my friend...??", Yash extended his hand towards Kavya to which Kavya reciprocated and said,
"Yup... Totally...", both then shared a wide glittering smile and ambled towards their wing.
Both bids Goodnight to each other and marched in their respective house. While lying on her bed, Kavya was really happy that finally she got a friend to be called. Initially she was quite paranoid about how she will gel with people here, but now with people like Yash around, she thought of not a tough job. As a human nature, even she was hesitant to get into a totally new city surrounded by absolutely unfamiliar faces, but now things seemed a bit easier for her. With a sigh of relief she dozed off.
