SERENDIPITY: A DEVDUTT PADIKKAL FANFICTION.

1.Graduation👩‍🎓

Meera's POV
10th February,2022.
Nottingham, United Kingdom.

Yayyyy! Today's my graduation day! In a few hours I'll be, 'Miss. Meera Joshi, MPth.Sports Physiotherapy'.

Aai and Baba will be so proud today! They've been waiting for this day.

That reminds me, Aai and Baba would be coming to my University directly from the airport and so I must get ready quick.

I dressed up in shirt and a pencil skirt, quite subtle and appropriate. I wore heels because I need to look tall( I'm 5'4 only).

On my way to Uni,I grabbed my favorite masala chai from a local Indian Cafe which is run by an Indian aunty.

She makes amazing food! It's a savior for Indian people when we crave Maa ke hath ka khana.
I gulped down my chai and reached University.

From a distance, I spotted Anamika, my best friend and I ran towards her.

"Anamikaaaa!!!! Finallyyy we're graduating!!!I cant believe!!!'
" I know right! 3 years gone like dust and we're left with a yaadon ka dibba that we'll cherish forever!" She exclaimed.
" I'll miss all this so much!! The weather here and ofcourse you!!"

Well that was because I was moving to India whereas Anamika will stay in London.
I heard my phone ring and I knew it was Aai. I picked up the call to be greeted by her chirpy voice.

"Manu, we're at the main gate." She said.
I literally ran to the gate with the speed of Flash.

I was overjoyed on seeing them and unknowingly my tear ducts started to flow as I embraced them in a hug. I was meeting them after 2 long years!
Aai and Baba both had smiles on their faces and I knew they were proud.

What else did I want?

" I'm so proud of you Manu! But look at you, how thin you've become! I'm going to make you eat loads of ghee once we return to India" Aai said.

"Ho ho Kaku, make her a fatass" Anamika joked from behind me.

Just then I realized that it's about time that the ceremony would start and so we all proceeded towards the Hall.

After about 30 minutes, my name was called out and I was handed my Masters Degree in all its glory. I was undoubtedly proud of myself for making it this far.

After clicking numerous pictures and boomerangs and the mandatory 'cap throw' we returned home.

The rest of the day was spent in receiving congratulatory messages from friends and relatives. Aai cooked a good Indian meal for me with all the ingredients she could find and I over ate( duh!).
I slept with the memories of a happy day.

Hello people, this is my first attempt at writing and I think I did pretty well ( self appreciation at its maximum)
So yeah, do vote and comment and tell me how you find it.
Kaku is Aunty in Marathi.
Aai is mom in Marathi.
Baba is dad in Marathi.
