Chapter Five
Kavya was still lost in her ocean of thoughts, Yash tapped her and she was back in reality.
"We have reached. Come....!!", he motioned her to come ahead of him just to protect any kind of buffeting in local trains which usually happens. She did as he said and both of them landed safely. Kavya smiled, depicting the tacit Thank you in it to which Yash understood and winked at her.
"We just need to walk for 10 more minutes.... We'll be there... thik hai..", Yash said.
Yash and Kavya both reached the college gate. It was a well renowned college, known for its academic and all other cultural and extra curricular activities. Students chattering and rambling on the college ground. Peons and watchman, here and now having a check on every students ID and they make sure that these students wear it on their neck which usually they don't do it, instead of letting it hang from their pants or shorts. Some girls and boys dressed best and looked really handsome and attractive.. May be rich brats, and a few were in the simplest form. Kavya started wondering, where will she fit in...?? "
"They have displayed the list in the quadrangle.... Over there...come lets check it...", Yash pointed his finger towards the quadrangle and started moving. Kavya followed him. She was all nervous, but somewhere was confident that she would be listed in the first list itself. The list has been declared and a whole bunch of students along with their parents have completely blocked their way to reach to the list. Kavya tried to have a look by jumping here and there, but all were futile.
"Gosh, how we gonna check now..?? People have blocked every possible way. lagta hai board ke andar hi ghuss jayenge...", Kavya said with vex.
"Relax... You wait here, I'll go and win the battle. Phew.....", Yash moved forward, turned back, winked at Kavya and then strolled into the crowd. Initially he was quite polite with the people, but when they were not moving an inch, he started to dodge among them. Squeezing himself, he finally reached in front of the board and waved a thumps up to Kavya. Kavya started giggling.
"Check...", she shouted. Yash nodded and spun to the board. He scrutinized every sheet. Once he was done with the scanning process, he marched towards Kavya. Kavya was all tense now because Yash had no expression on his face. He looked all blank and ambivalent.
"What... Do I have my name in the list.....??", Kavya queried.
"Ummm...No...", Yash nodded in dismay.
"Shit...!!!", Kavya exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hahahahahah... .Gotcha.... Chill you have your name on it... Yuhooo... !!", Yash chuckled.
Kavya gave him an I-Will-Kill-You look, but then joined him in their laughing encounter.
"Such a relief yaar. Thank you Yash, I don't think I would alone have traveled till here and more about to trespass this crowd.... Phew.... ", Kavya said kindly.
"Again, you're welcome... But I think now you should hand me your documents so that I can fill in the rest admission process and we can go home with no burden of worries on us...!! What say.. Shall we..", Yash said and signaled Kavya towards the admission counter were already a queue of few students with their parents was present. Kavya then handed him the documents and filled in the admission form. Yash and Kavya joined the queue and waited for their turn. It didn't take them long as Yash have already inquired of the fees and Kavya was all handy with the required documents and details. Within an hour they were all done with their admission job.
"Finally..!!!", Kavya said with sheer exhilaration and relief.
"Yup... Hey, I'm famished....let's go and eat something...", Yash asked.
"Yeah, even I'm hungry. Come-on, let's go...", Kavya replied.
Both walked across the street to grab some heavy lunch. Yash recommended a nearby hotel which was in the pocket, yet with tasty food.
"You know, here the food is cheap and it tastes yummy....!!", Yash said with excitement.
"Oh... Nice.... I think we should order something. Please you place the order for me as I'm new to this, I won't be aware of its best food."
"Ummmmm... Okay..."
Yash ordered for some fried rice and Manchurian balls with gravy and Pineapple juice for both of them towards the end. Kavya was really fond of Chinese food and she was glad that Yash ordered for the same. Again the same circle of sharing ickle smiles began, but this time Yash uttered to start a chat with Kavya.
"So... By next week you will commence your classes right... You might be excited for the new college, new friends and all that stuff...!!", Yash quizzed.
"Yes... Kind of...!!", Kavya replied woefully.
"Kind of... What does that mean...??", Yash asked.
"You know I'm all excited and thrilled to begin with my new college, but the only thing bothering me is getting along with new people. I mean making friends was easy back in my hometown, but here it's paranormal. Okay, I know paranormal is a bit exaggerated expression, but that is what I'm feeling now.", Kavya replied in dismay and looked away from Yash.
By the Yash was about to speak again, he was interrupted by their own ordered food. The waiter served them the food and went away. It smelled delicious. Both started nibbling on their Chinese cuisine.
"I understand...even I went through the same thing. But don't worry, it's just the first day you might feel awkward, but then you will get immune to this environment and if we talk about making friends... I think you already have one.. And that's Me...", Yash winked at her.
This instinctively made Kavya smile.
"Apart from me you will slowly have many friends Kavya. Just the first day will bother you, but then majja ni Life....", Yash continued.
Both of them roared with laughter. They finished their lunch and the bill was equally shared by them. Kavya really liked this gesture of Yash because he wasn't one of those guys who are just so clinging and cheesy, poking their nose in every matter and showing fake chivalry by paying the bill oneself. She had a rule that only her husband or boyfriend has a right to pay for her and Yash unknowingly followed this rule.
Yash and Kavya were back home by the evening. Bidding each other goodbye at their respective doors, both decided to meet downstairs after their dinner. Kavya after having a nap, had her dinner and went straight down as Yash and she had planned to meet once they were done with their food.
Kavya settled on a nearby bench and waited for Yash to accompany her. The chilling breeze was comforting and relaxing. Kavya closed her eyes and rested her back on the bench, savoring the blissful mild wind. Yash was now downstairs. He saw Kavya sitting on the bench and marched towards her. As he moved closer to Kavya, the blurred picture of her face was getting clearer. Her closed eyes made the face only look more adorable, with her hair moving here and there, as in sync with the blowing wind. Yash was now standing in front of her, just lost in her exquisite face when suddenly Kavya happened to open her eyes. For a moment it was all silent because no one knew how to react, it was awkward. After a tad pause, Yash and Kavya both muttered "Hi" in unison.
"They have displayed the list in the quadrangle.... Over there...come lets check it...", Yash pointed his finger towards the quadrangle and started moving. Kavya followed him.
