Four

It's been almost a week since I've been attending college and so far I'm loving this adulthood. I've been studying well, I'm also interacting with a lot of people here. It feels good and just like I belong here. The only problem I've been facing is communication with my boyfriend. I think in every relationship, communication is the key. I've been busy with my college and by the time I reach home, it's already 7 and I'm on the verge of sleeping. Since ishan is home the whole time I'm in college, he gets bored easily. But I know we'll get used it.

Today is Friday and Saturday and Sunday would be a holiday so I was a little relieved. I've made a few friends so far and college life was going great and just like Ankur Warikoo once said, 'Movement brings momentum', that's what I'm planning to do with my life right now. I've decided how I want my life to look like. I don't want any regrets when I'm too old to live my life the way I want.

So far it was a nice day not only I've made many friends I've also started studying and mostly whatever they teach gets to me pretty easily. It was a biology class and as I entered I heard someone calling me. It was the guy from my first day whom I was judging a little bit from the way he was sitting in class. "Hi Ashi, is it showing the same class timings in your time table as well?", the guy asked me.
"Hi, yes it's the same in my phone as well", I replied him showing my timetable. "Okay well I'm Saksham", he introduced himself. "Hi I'm Ashi", I introduced myself to him even though he somehow knew my name.
"Are you from Punjab?", I asked him curiously. "Yes I'm actually from Jalandhar", Saksham said. "Wait I was born there, I've lived there for ten years", I replied excitedly. Finally I found someone who is from this state. I don't know why but it feels so familiar when in so many people from different states and cultural backgrounds, you find someone who is from the same state or hometown as you are. And then I found out some more classmates from my hometown or nearby.

After the classes were over, I travelled one hour back to my home just to flop on the bed because I was tired as hell. I called ishan but just after sometime my best friend Navya, who was my best friend from school and who is also Ishan's friend called me. I stared to talk to her about my day and told her about my encounter with Saksham. She was really intrigued about this new guy and from somewhere ishan also came between our not-so- judging by the looks conversation and we started discussing about this new guy. By the way for Navya Ishan is only my friend. Yes, I didn't tell my best friend that I'm in a relationship with her friend. It was mutual decision because me and Ishan didn't want Navya to feel left out or excluded whenever we decide to go on dates or anything.

Ishan was a little too interested and went on talking to me about this new guy friend while I was constantly assuring him that he wasn't my friend I just talked to him for once and that too about class timings. One thing about me is that I never take the first step. Ishan surprisingly asked me to talk to him tomorrow which I don't understand because he's not going to get any benefit from this. Or maybe he's just helping me make new friends.

It was already too late and I was feeling too sleepy to talk to anyone about anything especially college. So I went to bed thinking about my encounter.
