Shreya lay awake in her bed , staring at the ceiling of her room. Life has always gone her way but what happened right now felt unbelievable for her.
She got a seat in IIT Kharagpur. An architecture seat on top.
All these days it was her dream to get into IIT but now that she got it , it felt way too surreal to be a dream.
She kicked of the pillow of her bed. "Ahhhhhh. I got into IIT . That's good. I am even having my friend Riya for company but why is this Ethan guy coming there.
Like he could've gonna anywhere except IIT Kharagpur. Hell with him....." the ranting continued .
( Ethan was her classmae during high-school days and her rival. There are certain times in life where you don't like some people for no reason.....yeah....and Ethan is just that guy....)
She heard her mom telling " Stop shouting always......
Are you ready with the suitcase? It's time to go to the airport. You're friend is also here. ....."
Shreya got up. She was like " Yeahhhh....this is not gonna affect me...like I even care about that pesky little guy.....I gotta go there and find a crush.....sorry....Stuy hard...yeah....that's it. Let's do this."
She walked towards the hall.
While going in the car, Riya asked " Did you get your moisturiser?! "
Shreya said "You think I could live without it ?"
"Nah....I am super excited. I mean ....cmon ....can you actually believe that we are gonna go in flight and stuff...... at one of the top university.....damn...."
"I know right "said Shreya. " I am gonna live the best of my life. New atmosphere , best course, hostel life , New guys....."
That's when her words got cut off.
Her mom who sat in the front seat of the car turned back.
Shreya tried to manage" I mean new professor you know...I am very studiuods....good study....good job" .
She tried to manage but it didn't work or her mom just left it.
Everyone reached the airport. Shreya had never really thought a day would come when she had to be separated from her mom but when the day had finally come it all seemed black.
She wanted to bid a happy goodbye to her mother but tears just seemed to roll down.
No more fighting with mom or those happy moments where you know you're mom bought tickets to movie or ipl.....no more of those days were you were excited for the gift your mom would buy or when you felt safe and secure in her hands.....
Realization hit her hard when she realised that she had to move on. That's how life is.
She waved a good bye and walked fast towards the checking area. She looked at Riya to see if any emotion was seen . After all it isn't a small flight trip.
But Riya wasn't emotional at all. She just told her that it was not a permanent departure or something. Riya was quite a.....hmmm......weird person.
Both of them finished the checking and sat in the corner there. Riya told her that she was hungry and would buy something for both of them and left.
"Shit" Shreya heard that. She heard a familiar voice say that. No way. She turned back. No way it was gonna be that person....heck no......and it was.....
