3 : Waiting for the surprises of life

“Sami! ”

“huh? ” Simran looked her brother who was calling her since a minute which she failed to notice due to Harshad. 

“What happened?  Where are you lost? ”Ajnas asked cupping her cheeks. 

“Nowhere ” She said shaking her head. 

He narrowed his eyes at her and asked “Studies ?”

Simran nodded and he smiled .

“Try hard.  You will reach high! ” he said patting her head. 

“I will join your company after graduation ” Simran said with a grin trying get over Harshad's thoughts. 

“Not at all!

I want my sister to be successful with her hardwork,  not with my money and position” Ajnas said and Simran pouted. 

Ajnas formed his lip in a thin line and seeing that Simran nodded meekly. He went after kissing her forehead .

‘he don't like anyone kissing him and he kissed me! ’ she muttered to herself. 

Sometimes , Ajnas character makes Simran sad.  She wantes her old Bhai back.  Everything was different back then,  when they had their father with them. 

After his death,  everything changed And the changes in Ajnas was huge.  The immature boy became a responsible son and brother at 19. Started doing small scale business with his studies and got successful in it. After the success in his business,  his focus was soley on the business to make it reach the top. In between all those , he lost himself. 

Thinking about her Brother,  at a certain point,  Harshad took over her thoughts once again. He was so rude with her,  still he helped her,  why? 

‘don't know! ’

Simran sighed at her thoughts. She thought about the reasons many times, but nothing came. Later , her mind went to their first meeting ;

...

FLASHBACK

Simran was pretty scared for her first day in University morethan excitement. She is going to spend her best part of life with some strangers who will later become her friends . Her hands were shivering due to fear. Her cousins scared her about ragging and violence happens in a college. 

She met a girl of her same age and talked with her for sometime about the background of the college.  Eventhough she trusted her Brother about sending her to the best college, still her cousin's words were enough to drive her crazy. She only calmed down once the girl explained about how the college is against ragging and stuff like that.

They both have to take different directions since they both were different department. After talking with the girl,  she felt a little confident and walked to Principal's office since he asked her to meet him after learning she is Businessman Ajnas's sister. Her confidence went back when she collided with a boy , destroying his phone in the process . 

“What the hell did you do? ” the boy started shouting at her when his phone didnt worked even after trying a lot. 

“ I am sorry! ” Simran mumbled. 

Harshad punched the wall in anger and asked “Can your mere sorry repair this phone? ”

He again tried to restart the phone and it didn't worked. His face changed with the passing time,  scaring Simran.  It was an accident. 

“I will buy you a new phone ” Simran said gaining her confidence .

“Give me the one who gifted me this phone too,  if possible ” Harshad shouted in anger .

Simran understood, the phone was gifted to him by someone special and her carelessness destroyed it. 

“I am really sorry! ” Simran was at the verge of crying.  Students gathered around them seeing Harshad shouting at a newbie. 

“Damn with your sorry! ” Harshad said and Simran stood there not knowing what to do .

“Mahn,  she said sorry.  If you don't want her sorry and mobile,  what will you get with shouting at her ?” a girl from the crowd interfered.

Harshad glared that girl and she raised her hand in surrender walking away. 

Neither Harshad nor Simran moved from there. By Harshad's minute to minute glares,  Simran started crying silently .

“what is happening here? ” the principal came and near him stood the girl who tried to interfere in their fight .

That girl walked near Simran and side hugged her saying sweet nothings .

“This minx destroyed my phone !”Harshad said pointing to Simran where she stood with her head hanging low. 

“language! ” the old man scolded Harshad for his foul mouth .

He turned to Simran and glared Harshad seeing the crying girl. 

“I swear , it was an accident ! I am sorry.. ” the girl mumbled.

Hearing that Harshad kicked the wall.  He hates when people apologize . Their apology cannot change anything! 

The principal sighed seeing Harshad's anger and turned to the crowd of students “DISPERSED !”

“guide her to class room ” he said to the girl and she nodded .

“Come with me! ” Principal took Harshad with him.  Simran stood there looking at their back. 

“It was an accident ..” Simran said glancing a the direction they left.  She felt bad for destroying someone's memory. 

“Hey,  leave it! ” the girl said and Simran nodded .

“I am Riya.  You? ”

“Simran !”

Riya asked her about her department and got to know they both are in the same class. 

“I will introduce you to my friends ” Riya said guiding Simran to their class. 

Δ

The day went well and Simran made friends . She felt good with them and her fear for the first day have vanished . When they were about to leave for home, Harshad came near her and passed her ID card .

“have a very nice day , Miss. Simran Abbas! ”He went away with a smirk. 

Riya and Simran stood there confused thinking whether he was the same boy who was throwing tantrums at morning. 

Pure hatred flashed his eyes when he took he name which was not there when he was shouting at her for destroying his phone.

FLASHBACK ENDS

...

That day little did she knew, he was thinking of spoiling her remaining  days ,  making it a hell. 

After that,  she made sure to keep herself strong and not waver infront of him at any cost untill he pulled his ugly stunt. 

Simran came of her riverie when her mother called her for food. Her Uncle also joined them on dinner. Their Uncle took care of their all financial needs till Ajnas got successful in their business . 

Simran cleared her mind and concentrated on the dinner when her phone started Pinging with notifications. Her brother along with Mother glared her.  Whereas, her Uncle smiled at her. 

Her brother checked her phone screen and saw Riya's name popping up . He placed the mobile back and glared Simran.  She tried to hide her smile. 

She finished her dinner quickly and ran to her room ,taking the phone from the table near Her brother's hand. 

Ajnas shook his head and continued his dinner with a smile which stoped when his phone pinged with a notification .

Simran smiled at the sarcastic messages sent by Riya .
