TRANSMIGRATED

CHAPTER 3

Life flowed smoothly for Shriya. She went on with her life without many dramas.

Sometimes she had to put up with those three bullies measly tricks.

But they soon lost interest as they could no longer garner the previous reaction from her.

She was also now slowly gaining popularity in the school and they realised it wasn't wise to bother her anymore.

Though in the beginning Shriya was bothered with this unfamiliar world. She soon got used to her life here with her new friends.

She did not miss her previous monotonous life. Compared to before the children were more friendly and showed genuine emotions.

When she was in her school back home the children were not this warm. They were ten times worse and adding to it was the fact that she had no friends.

So for her this life was more like a blessing. She was happy in her current circumstances.

But then she found out what kind of world she was in. This happened when she was with Chithra.

During one interval she and Chithra did not leave the classroom, they both had an English homework to complete.

So they both sat together to complete the essay. While they were writing they also talked about random things.

"Next time the orphanage director brings us all to watch a movie let's sit together, we will have a lot of fun together." Chithra told Shriya excitedly.

Shriya smiled at her cuteness. She once again remembered the movie she had last watched.

Suddenly as if remembering something Shriya told Chithra " I hope we get to see Ajay Kumar's film"

Chithra was confused, "who is Ajay Kumar" she questioned Shriya.
"You don't know Ajay" she asked her back.

At her question Chithra shook her head indicating she had never heard about him.

"When we have our next computer period I will find his photo for you" Shriya said to her good friend.

Chithra nodded her head and after that both were busy completing their homework.

Two days passed since Shriya's promise to Chithra. She had since forgotten about this promise.

It was Chithra who reminded her again of this matter.

"Shriya see here, is this the guy you were talking about, but he is not an actor though." Chithra said to her pointing to the computer screen she was looking at.

Since both of them chose their seats near each other, Shriya only had to move her neck slightly to look at the screen.

"No, this is not him" she said.
"I will search his name on my computer, wait for me" she told Chithra.

Now the roles were reversed, the one leaning her neck was Chithra.

No matter how much she re- typed her searches she could not find the actor.
"What is wrong with Google, why isn't it showing him" Shriya said frustrated at coming up with nothing.

"Why don't you search for his movies." Chithra suggested. Shriya at once went on another search spree.

This time too the search results were negative. 'What's going on' she thought in her mind.

Shriya thought it might be because he was an actor who belonged to her world. So she decided to search for the other actors she knew of.

To her shock all those searches brought out positive results. She felt weird 'why only Ajay Kumar is missing' she asked in her heart.

Chithra had shrugged and let it go saying "it happens". But Shriya wasn't willing to put this matter to rest without solving this mystery.

The bell rang indicating the end of the period. Their next class was history.

Shriya and Chithra arrived at the class at their own pace since history teacher was absent.

When they got there another teacher was inside the class who came for substitution.

Since this hour was free they could do anything they want except for being noisy.

Chithra went to her seat claiming she had some problems to do before next class.

So Shriya went to her seat. She had been distracted by Chithra all this time and did not get time to ponder on the matter deeply.

She began to once again think about this strangeness. But Rishi took his seat beside her, disturbing her thought process.

He put his head down on the table facing her and closed his eyes. She looked at his face, 'he looked exactly like the younger version of Ajay Kumar' she thought in her heart.

She was examining his face when she saw a small black dot on the side of his ear. She took in a cold breath 'how could both people have the same identical mark. Could it be she had transmigrated into a movie world'.

Shriya felt her head ringing with this possibility. If she were to be in a movie then there might be clues.

She had to find them to be sure.
