Nash Zagadochnyy Mir {Our Mysterious World}

Am I Overthinking?

Maya's pov...

Our session started from mid March but I joined a bit later because of my boards. It took a decent amount of will power to not let my procrastinating ass take over me and a pile of backlog is created. It's almost end of the month and I've finally updated all the assignments. Now I can breath freely! Till now everything is going very well. No breakdowns, my periods occurred in starting of the month so no cramps, no ragging shit as if anybody had the the guts to bully me and also when we have two mountains velcroed to me and namnam, and lots of student catfights which I enjoyed very much. Ladai dekhne me maza ata h karne me to muh se gali nikal jati h phir sab sochte h ki kitni uncultured hun😭.

[Translation: it's fun to watch a fight from afar than fighting yourself, otherwise I swear while quarreling and people think I'm uncultured.]

We were strolling through the campus as it's sunday evening and no classes were there. Lucy and Dev are completing their assignments as they procrastinated earlier. " You told me you were born and raised in Florida and your parents in Houston, so exactly from how many generations you guys are there?" I asked her to which took a deeeeep breath and ," STORYTIME!!!, So, there's a mythical story and I don't know if it's true or not though we got some scientific proofs, and it goes like, millions of years ago, when gods resided with  on earth, i.e., in satayug, there were three humans who committed a heinous crime and our bhagwan were enraged. As punishment they were banished to hell for all the generation they may produce along with their families, which according to Sanatan dharma is beneath earth. So in this sense, it is present day Americas. They were so ashamed that they isolated themselves from the world which has its effect till now as you can't find us on internet until we want you to. So after many millenniums, the then descendants of those three pleaded with bhagwanji and asked that why they are suffering there because of ill deeds of their ancestors? So the gods relented a bit and lessened their punishment by declaring that after few more centuries their will be one person from the 3 families and he or she will return here with all. In all the time of their exile our ancestors, it's said that they ventured in the whole world except here, had their own povs of all the things that we study in history and we're the most advanced among all. But due to strict isolation rule all the histories and scientific proofs we have of us being there are only for the heads of family to see that too only if permission is granted by some kind of ritual they do which has not been done from ages so if this whole story is true or made up? We don't know. But I've heard that my great great grandfather was also born and raised their only. So the 3 families of those 3 fuckers are The Malhotra family, Singh family and Jain family. The succession process was kind of like british empire's and if their was a female head, her husband's surname was taken by whole family.

So as of now Swaransh Malhotra is bringing his Achlys Group here along with Jain Group, so he is said to be that man gods referred to. Though this was initiated by his grandfather and the other two heads continued by their sons and being completed by there grandsons. Papa even after being their enemy was offered to come with them but he refused with a grunt. But now that I'm here he is compelled to do the same."

I was astonished would be an understatement. I was gawking at her dumbfounded and now she laughed and dragged me to our dorm as it was already night and we had enough evening snack so we were full. I just followed her like a lost kitten.

I woke up to full chaos with namnam yelling at and dragging me here and there  readying me up like a baby because I overslept and now we're late. For god sake I've set literally 10 alarms which woke the whole floor except me. Today, we were wearing white sun dresses. We've decided playfully to twin for our whole lives but wholeheartedly follow it. Subtle skin care, mascara, kajal, gloss, blush and we're done. On our way to class many thank yous were thrown in my way to waking up them all earlier than their capacity.🥰🥰👍.

In class we see Dev And Lucy literally drooping on their seats, bags under red eyes, raw coffee beans between teeth. These two are literally unbelievable. They're on each other throats all time but still haven't applied to change their dorm. Did I mention they're roommates? They literally live there like a divorced couple.

First lecture is of Constitution. In past days, Mr. Srivastava is behaving quite unsuspicious. He even took the introductory session. If I let my angels win, a question arises if I have read too many crime novels and am I really overthinking? But my demons still say that he may have sensed that I've become suspicious so renovated his guard. Huhhhh. I don't know. Let's just observe and for now focus on the lecture. I get it why even after his sadist nature students admire him. This guy is disgustingly talented in his field.

Rest of the day went nicely as all my assignments were complete and professors praised us 4. Our divorced couple was on a verge to collapse so me and namnam dropped them to their dorm. There was construction going on at a wing that's near staff wing. As we were passing, I saw Mr. Srivastava coming out of administration office and suddenly something that was being lifted up by ropes to set up  fell just as he was going near, he saw that pile and froze on his place when he could have dodged it if he was trained and it fell upon him. A yelp passed through me as we rushed towards him to rescue. All the student present helped him up and someone called an ambulance. They took him to the hospital and as me and namnam were the ones to reach first we also went with him. The dean and principal followed in their own cars with some other students. We went in with him and the dean filled up the formalities. He was quickly taken to OT as doctor said that he has broken his armbone and has some deep cuts. But he'll be alright as he has a strong body, so not to worry very much. Thank the heavens that he's safe. We nodded and waited until the operation finished while Dev and Lucy joined us all right after they heard that we're here.

The operation was successful and after some time we went in to meet him as he was now conscious. He was lying on his bed and looked very weak but still had his charisma with him. "Thanks for saving me kittens " he addressed to me and namnam with a serene smile and we just reciprocated his with a 'mention not'. Everyone asked about his well-being and then left along with us. But wait, where is his family noone came from his side? I asked the same to the dean and he said," dear he has no family, he lost his parents and one year old brother in a car accident when he was 3. Ever since he was raised in an orphanage. A few years back also he got severely ill and was admitted here. We tried our best to stay with him but he sent us back. Reluctantly we had to. Just like today. He'll be fine you don't worry." I just nodded and followed.

Looks like I've really misjudged him. But I feel my respect to this man increased 10 folds. I mentally apologize to him and go on my way.
