*Rupa Pov*I sat on the ground feeling panic after the way I wrote the paper. It was so tough and I tried my best to write each and every answer but I still missed a few.What should I do now? How can I achieve anything if I don’t get good marks? What if I had to stay in this village and get married to the person my parents bring because of having no option to leave this village and get an opportunity to change my life.“Why are you grinning so much today while we all are in grief regarding today’s tough paper?” I heard someone saying and I felt relieved thinking maybe if everyone didn’t write it properly then it could be fine.I continued to hear a conversation but my mind is on a run thinking maybe it will be fine and I need not feel low.But those thoughts got cut off when I realized no one in the city will ask me whether the paper is tough or how much everyone else scored. I need to fight more already because of coming from a village and now with these poor marks my chances will g
*Girish Pov*After giving me that nod, she got onto the bus and I continued to stand there to wait until the bus leaves the bus stand.However, I didn’t expect her to stare at me without looking away even after the bus started moving.“All the best!” I shouted and she just smiled at me while I bus drove away.“Damn!” I mumbled to myself feeling surprised to get attracted to someone like this.I need to get to know her better and get her to know me better. With that thought, I took an auto to return to the hospital and found that they are deciding to get Aunty discharged.I froze realizing what this means as the doctor allows a critically ill patient only when… I shook my head and reached over Vani who glanced at me with a confused expression.“She got into the bus and I waited until it drove away.” I explained and her confused expression relaxed after hearing that.“Thank you so much!” she whispered and I shook my head before walking towards my friends as they are discussing on going
*Girish Pov*“Why are you both walking so slowly?” I asked frowning at the two interns following me and they didn’t even stand properly to answer me.“Shall I start a quiz as you both seem to be bored with the rounds?” my words immediately made them stand straight.“No need to do that, Dr. Girish. We are completely fine but we are just worried that you still didn’t have lunch yet.” One of them said smiling at me and immediately gestured behind me.“Talking about lunch, we are actually close to the canteen. Why don’t you get some energy by having something to eat, Dr. Girish?” she continued while the other intern nodded with a polite smile.“You both dare to act before me. Let me start the quiz then.” Saying that I turned around to continue to walk passing the canteen only to stop suddenly which made the two people behind me nearly hit my back with their bodies but they stopped themselves.“What happened, Dr. Girish? Suddenly starting to feel hungry after seeing the canteen?” I turned
*David Pov*As we continued to tease Kamal, he shouted at us and it just made us laugh more. A voice joined us and I turned to see Pallavi smiling at Kamal while asking him why is he shouting at Girish while my smile slipped.She is the girl I have liked for so many months already but her eyes always search for Kamal and stay on him without any change no matter how he treats her as just a normal friend.“Ask them, Pallavi.” Kamal replied, and trying to calm himself down.“It is just that we ordered this specially today for a special reason.” I said when she suddenly looked at me and realized I didn’t tell her properly at all.“Today, his fiancé had the same breakfast as per his mom.” Rakesh explained bluntly.“So, today was the day of the week when your mom calls you and gives you live feed of that’s girl’s life?” Pallavi asked chuckling.“You too, Pallavi?” Kamal asked her still with a normal expression.“Come on! It is fun to talk about it. It is not like you are going to marry her.
*Rakesh Pov*I frowned looking at the caller ID and sighed before picking it up asking, “What is it, Mom?”“Why didn’t you come home for the past one month? I know your Dad is angry at you but he still wants to see you at home.” She asked while I rubbed my forehead.“Kamal’s Mom passed away two days back and right now I am at Kamal’s village.” I replied and she paused hearing that news.“Pass my condolence to him and until when will you stay there?” She asked while I nodded at Vani who walked towards me.“I packed my things and let me know when we are leaving.” Vani said looking at me and I turned to show her my Bluetooth speaker, and her eyes widened seeing that.“I am so sorry!” she whispered and started stepping back and tried to not make any noise.I chuckled at her action saying, “Don’t worry! I will tell Kamal that you are ready to leave with us.”She nodded walking towards her house and I sighed before sitting on the cement bench outside Kamal’s house.“Who is that?” Mom asked
*Vani Pov*“Why are you grinning so much today while we all are in grief regarding today’s tough paper?” I heard the question from my side making me turn away from the sun and cut my thoughts completely.“Today was our last exam.” I said as a matter of fact staring at my friend.“And?” she asked, raising her eyebrow.“We finished our college.” I said and my grin got its place over my face again just thinking about the fact.“And?” she asked showing her impatience in her tone.“And, there is no other reason for my parents to stop her to call her son home to get me married.” I replied and sighed just thinking about having a chance to meet him finally.“Oh God! I just can’t believe this.” We both heard a new voice and turned to see my enemy sitting behind us on the floor of our college grounds.“What is your problem, Rupa?” I asked frowning.“My problem is your naiveness, Vani.” She replied frowning back.“What do you mean?” I asked even though I would turn away and just continue my happ
*Kamal Pov*“Have a bite of this, Kamal. I think our canteen decided to show some mercy on us today with delicious food.” I heard Girish asking and I turned away from my book only to glare at him.“No!” I shouted and ignored the looks other students giving hearing my raised voice.I shook my head and continued to study with my three friends laughing among themselves. I tightened my grip on the book hoping to kill all of them, but took a deep breath to hide the anger and relaxed.“Why are you shouting at him, Kamal?” Palavi asked sitting at our table.“Ask them, Pallavi.” I replied in a controlled tone.“It is just that we ordered this specially today for a special reason.” David explained, but actually didn’t and that’s how he does everything.He thinks he explained, but forgets to mention the main point making it as a teasing sport for us over him. However, it seems like this is my day to take all the teasing.“Today, his fiancé had the same breakfast as per his mom.” Rakesh explaine
*Kamal Pov*“I don’t know what you will do, Kamal. You should come home this weekend at any cause.” I heard what I feared from the past few weeks while dodging her request to return home.“But Mom…” I started saying along with thinking of a reason to give to her.“I don’t want to hear anything. Here, that girl is waiting for you and you are not even coming here to meet her. You both should get to know each other more before marriage.” She said and I closed my eyes.“Mom! I believe that it would be better to not talk about marriage. I mean, I don’t know her and she doesn’t know me. Maybe we both are just not compatible.” I said and waited for her reaction.“Don’t worry, Kamal. You know a lot about her and she knows so much about you. I am glad that you too think, you should meet her and get to know her on your own. I will be waiting for your return then.” She said and hung up the phone while I took it away from my ear to stare at it in shock.“Did she again, not understand the meaning
