Their Accidental Love

CHAPTER 18

KARTIK'S POV:

As expected we were surrounded my paparazzi as soon we walked out of the airport. Somehow we managed to make our way to the car, I had to stop by obliging selfies and autographs to some fans.

Soon enough we all sat tired in the living room. Seriously there's no place like home.

"Why are you all sitting like zombies, just go to your rooms and take rest." Mom said breaking the long silence and getting up.

"Mom I want to discuss something."

"Right now?" Dad asked.

"Yup"

"It better be important Koki, cause everyone is tired." Mom said again getting seated.

"Mom me and Zoya had a conversation during the flight. I asked her to continue her studies. In my opinion it would be easy as they both are already living in hostel and have each other's company and support."

"Yeah why not, it's a good idea. Zoya bete you should continue your studies. You can take up any course you want, you'll have our full support for it." Mom said, her expressions said she loved the idea.

"Um yeah you're right Aunty but don't you think it'll be too early cause I just got a job."

"Zoya why are relying on a job so much beta. It's just a part time job at a library and also temporary. You have so much potential and you deserve so much better than this 15k paying job. Especially at this age you should be only focusing on your career and studies instead of worrying about earning money. You have your family support you in every way. But we're not at all forcing you to quit the job and start studying, just know thay whatever decision you'll make we'll support you." Dad said very gently convincing Zoya. And she looked convinced but she remained quiet.

"Zo if you don't want to be engaged for four years in a degree program, you can simply get enrolled in a short course of 1 or 2 years." Kittu said.

"Yeah I think you all are right, I'll get myself enrolled in a short course course once we get back to hostel." She finally said agreeing to everyone.

"That's a good decision beta, May God bless you." Dad patted her head blessing her and left for his room.

Everyone retired to their rooms planning to rest for a while.

.........

It was our first day at college, me Kittu and Uncle sat in the admission office. He accompanied us today to help me with admission formalities.

After much thought and discussion I chose 2 year software associated program. Although this field wasn't my passion but atleast I would be able to find a job that pays well, I don't want to be a burden anymore. Although they never made me feel like a burden but I've always wanted to be financially independent.

............................

It was a Monday morning and I had my first lecture today, we both were already late for our classes as we were up till late last night watching movies.

I rushed through the corridors and reached the class room, thankfully teacher wasn't there and most of them
were sitting quietly busy in their phones and only a few were talking as it was our very first day.

I took a seat near the window, as I looked around I felt alone and bored I was already missing Kittu and everyone. We spent so many days together, had an amazing vacation. I didn't realize I got so used to everyone around and now I was sitting here in a non familiar environment.

I was lost looking out of the window, I heard knocking on my desk. I looked at my right and found a familiar face smiling lightly at me. It took me a minute to remember that it was the same guy I bumped into on my first day at library job and also at super store.
