"Manu, you sleepy head wake up," Mrs. Khurana screamed from downstairs on her daughter
"hmm ma, I'm up" Manyata scream back and closed her eyes again.
After 10 minutes the duvet was snatched from her and cold water drenched her face.
"what the hell?" Manyata scream in shock to see her angry mother who has her hands on her hips
"what did I told you about waking up young lady? Mrs. Khurana said glaring at her daughter
" actually ma, I was up but then don't know how I fell asleep," Manyata said wiping the water droplets from her face
" Manu baby today you're leaving us for 3 long years. You will stay away from us this long in another city alone. How will you manage there? "Mrs. Khurana said in a softer tone..
Her eyes are glossy. Manyata felt emotional seeing her mother sad. But she needs to leave her home to achieve her goals
" Ma don't worry I will be back in holidays. I am not going for forever. "Manyata said and Mrs. Khurana glared at her
Manyata knows she hit the wrong nerve.
" nothing will happen to me ma. You know your manu don't you? "Manyata said smiling
" I know Manu but it's not even 6 months that incident and now you. You know your papa is not ready to let you go but we understand you have your own dreams.We can't stop you from achieving them. "Mrs. Khurana said sadly
" ma bhai also left us for his studies na? Then why not me? Don't worry I will be ok, now smile I don't want to leave with this sad face. I want a smiling farewell. Not a crying one. I'm not going to my husband's house. So chill," Manyata joked
"who knows? Maybe you will found your Mr. Perfect?" Mrs. Khurana said to lighten her mood
"maybe ma I will find him. Or maybe not. Don't worry about it. Now let me get ready." Manyata said and Mrs. Khurana noded
Manyata got up from her bed and got dressed in a blue salwar suit. after taking bath. She isn't that shy type of girl who only wear traditional clothing. She wear everything depends on her mood and the place.
She side parted her hairs and make a lose braid. She didn't use any make up or anything and got downstairs to see her mother serving her father breakfast who is not looking happy at all
"papa don't be grumpy na. Let me go with happiness not sadness." Manyata said and pouted
Her father sighed and said
"Manu you know the reason of my worries well I don't want anything happen to you. You're going Delhi to study all alone. I don't want to get you hurt or lose you." Mr. Khurana said
"papa don't worry I'm strong mentally and physically. No one can harm me. I'm trained in self defense. Now please smile." Manyata said with puppy dog eyes
"ohk my manu but just promise you will come back safe and sound." Mr. Khurana said
"I promise you I will be back safe and sound. I will achieve my goals by hook or by crook." Manyata said
"very well then. All the best. Now let's eat your breakfast you have a flight to catch. We would have go with you but you know I can't go because of the work and your mother don't want to go alone." Mr. Khurana said
"it's ok papa don't worry I will do well." Manyata said and ate her breakfast
After this they talk about for sometime and left for airport.
Manyata reach Delhi and go to her hostel. As from tomorrow she will start her college.
"hi, I'm Manyata Khurana, first year student in B.com
Economics hons
," Manyata said to the warden
"yes Ms. Khurana, your room is at second floor. Room no 320," The warden replied with a smile
Manyata liked her already she isn't like other wardens Hitler type.
She thanked her and took the keys of her room. She drag her luggage and go there. She saw the room is already open.
She enter the room and saw 2 girls are sitting on a bed and talking.
"hi, I'm Manyata khurana. And you," Manyata said to the girls
"hi, I'm Kashvi Sehgal and she is my sister Ashvi Sehgal. We both are your room mates," Kashvi answers
"yeah I hope we can became friends," Manyata said
"oh yes we can. After all we will stay together for 3 years," Ashvi said
Manyata smiled at her and took her clothes to change. After changing she decided to talk with her parent and then with her new room mates.
Her mother again remind her to stay safe and avoid her seniors. She only said yes to her every question.
While talking with her friends she got to know that Kashvi is studying B.A and Ashvi B.com like her in same subject.
Kashvi and Ashvi belong to a well known family like her. The trio connected well with each other and find many similarities with each other. After that Manyata settle down her clothes.
She took a quick nap as both girls are also taking nap...
After waking up They all ate their dinner early.
After eating Manyata decided to stroll in the garden. Kashvi and Ashvi asked her to not but she didn't hear to them. They wanted to come but she denied that as well...
She was walking there looking at the variety of flowers.
Suddenly her eyes caught a boy who was trying to come at the girls hostel side by climbing the wall...
They had both hostel in same place but divided by a wall and two different buildings.
She decided to inform the security but then she saw that from the place the boy is about to come that has glass peaces he will get injured for sure.
"hey you don't come this side. It has glass peaces," Manyata said to the boy
"who is this?" the boy asked her
"who I'm it's none of your concern. First of all you should not come here it's girls hostel that too at night time. Here I'm helping you be greatful to me. Other then you would have been injured deeply," Manyata hissed
"ohk ms. Fireball, no need to hiss on me. Thank you for saving me at least tell me your name. And I was coming there for to meet my cousins. They has came here 3 days ago." The boy said
"what ever it is I don't need any explanation but it's wrong to come here at this time. Go back you can meet them tomorrow." Manyata said and left
"ohk ms. Fireball. I guess you like this name so I will come here to meet you every time and if we meet I will call you fireball. Bye ms.Fireball good night." The boy said and left..
Manyata cursed under her breath and decided to go to her room. She should have hear to Kashvi and Ashvi. Thinking this she left the place.
