It was a day just like any other as you were heading home after another day of long and boring lectures.
"Yaar abhi toh sem start hua hai aur assignment bhi dediya, kya zindagi bhar yahi karte rahe ab?! Kya log hai ye-" before you can complete your sentence someone bumps into you, making you drop some of the books that you were holding. Yahi baaki tha!
The guy and you both apologize to each other. He hurriedly collects the scattered books and leaves after muttering another apology. College really is tiresome and after everything that has happened, you just want to head home and hug your bed forever!
Karma's place
The room is filled with a rhythmic thump, a bass-heavy beat pulsating through the air. The scent of creativity hangs in the air like an intoxicating perfume.
In one corner of the room, Karma sits hunched over a worn notebook, his pen dancing across the pages. His brow furrows in concentration as he scribbles down lyrics with a passion that matches the beat. His fingers tap lightly on the desk, a silent accompaniment to the music that flows through his headphones.
Across the room, Abhishek frantically rummages through a stack of books in frustration.
"Yahi par thi bhai kaha gayi! Oh-" he frowns as he picks up a book that he doesn't recognize. Going through it he finds some sort of college form with a name and few other details.
"Y/N L/N. No way!Bhai.......BHAI..."
Abhishek reaches for the speakers and lowers the voulme breaking Karma out of his trance.
"Sunn na ye book zara return kardega please. Suheb ek student se takraya tha I think tabhi swap hogaye books."
"Abhi, mere paas time nahi hai, ek sahi hook mila hai and mujhe Sez se bhi milne jaana hai so tu hi chale ja yaar." he says taking off his headphones.
"Mujhe kaafi imp kaam se jana hai, but I need that book by tomorrow. Mai opposite direction mai jaa raha hu nahi toh khud de deta and tu toh ussi direction mai jaa raha hai na so laade na!"
"Okay, but you owe me for this!" Karma replies sighing.
Back at your place
You just woke up and hear the lo-fi beat still playing in the background. The room eludes a serene atmosphere, bathed in the gentle glow of soft, warm lighting. The new semester began a week ago, but it feels like the last semester just ended yesterday. With a long sigh, you decide to complete your assignment.
You freshen up and start looking for your assignment book, but you're unable to find it. Instead, you find some other book that belongs to a guy named Abhishek.
Subha jis ladke se takrayi shayad uski book hai. Oh no! Argh ab kal jaake usse college mai dhundna padega.
"Y/N!" your Mom's voice breaks you out of your chain of thoughts.
"Ha Mom, kya hua?" you ask opening your bedroom door just enough for your voice to reach her.
"Koi ladka aya hai tujhse milne, dekh le." she replies.
"Ha" you reply a bit confused as to who it might be.
Mere group mai se toh koi aise bina bole ayega nahi fir ye kaun ho sakta? Hmmmmmm...
You head downstairs before your Mom calls out to you again. Heading outside, you spot a tall guy facing away from you.
"Excuse me?"
The guy turns around and as soon as you get a good look at him you're taken aback by his looks.
Well hello there!
"Hi, are you Y/N? I'm Karma wo actually mujhe ye book return karni thi." he says with a shy smile that suddenly lifts up your mood.
"Yeah. Book right. Book jo meri hai, yeah." you mutter.
Wahh kya baat kahi hai! I can't believe I just said that weird word sandwich!
"Subhe thik se dekha hota toh wahi par I would've asked him out!" you stare at his black gentle eyes, failing to realize what you just said out loud.
"Umm-What?" he asks a bit confused and amused at the same time.
"I mean book....book subeh thik se dekhi hoti toh wahi par puch leti ki kahi swap toh nahi hogayi! That's what I meant. What did you think?" you question with a mischievous undertone.
"N-Nothing. B-book. Can I have my brother's book back?" he asks smiling again.
His smile, it's so cute! Is he trying to kill me or something!
Mesmerized by his cute yet shy smile you hand him your book back.
"Nahi nahi ye nahi. Mere bhai ki book chahiye, Abhishek ke naam se hogi."
"Oh-ohhhh right!" you take the book back feeling even more embarrassed this time, "Wo tumhara bhai hai? You look quite similar."
Great! Kya soch raha hoga ki kya duffer hai, bhai hai toh similar toh dekhege hi na thoda
"I'm so sorry I don't know what's happening to me. Anyways, mere room mai chalte hai. I mean book mere room mai hai so.." you point towards your place smiling trying to change the topic as soon as possible.
He just nods flashing his signature shy smile again and you feel butterflies in your stomach.
You head upstairs with him but just as you're about to open the door you remember.
Room itna clean nahi hai kya sochega! Damnn Y/N bolne se pehle soch bhi toh liya kar!
"Hey, kya hua?"
"Ah, wo actually tum pehli baar ghar aye ho and maine tumse paani bhi nahi pucha, so chalo pehele niche jaake paani pete hai."
"O-okay" he replies and you sigh internally at your dumb save.
You both head downstairs and you hand him some cupcakes and water. After that, you head back upstairs to get the book. You get the book and check yourself in the mirror to make sure you look good.
Heading downstairs you hand him the book and then you both head outside.
"So umm.." he says and you both kinda stare at each other for what feels like a few minutes before he breaks the silence again.
"I should go I've some other things to do, but-"
"Nahi nahi itne jaldi, just mile hai and mai toh kuch jaanti tak nahi tumhare baare mai-"
Damn did I say that out loud again?!"Maybe then we should meet again to get to know each other better." he chuckles and a soothing warmness spreads across your chest.
You nod as you feel your cheeks burn red.
"My number" you hand his phone back with your number typed and continue "and mera ghar kaha hai ye toh pata hai tumhe so-umm I'll see you again." you mutter blushing.
"Y-yeah, well how about coffee on Sunday?"
"Of course, but meri taraf se because tumhe itni takleef uthani padi."
"Thik hai but fir uske agle time meri taraf se!" he replies and you're an absolute mess at this point.
Did he just confirm 2 dates!
"I-um I should get going. Bye Y/N." the way your name slides off his tongue so smoothly, gives you goosebumps.
"Bye Karma."
He leaves and you feel a bit lonely after his departure, but also excited for your next meeting. You can tell that this is the beginning of something really special.
