Happy ending ?

First meet

I rubbed my eyes and sat on the bed. I looked towards my left. It was 6:45 a.m. I got up as fast as I can and got fresh. With my dripping wet hair I got into my room and saw my laptop open. I tried to recall last night. I was on my bed working on my GSL and position paper, I must have fell asleep while working. To be honest I am at the eleventh hour worker kind of person. I didn’t have my speeches and position paper ready so I was trying to complete it last night. Although one my friends have prepared the GSL for me I still needed to make a few changes. I got out of my thoughts when I heard my mother call my name “Simran, come have your breakfast. Your gonna be late.”  I wrapped the towel around my hair and went to have my breakfast. I wasn’t able to finish my break fast as I am a slow eater. I got ready, a white shirt and light brown trousers, my hair tied up in a tight ponytail, I completed the look with my black heels and a golden watch on my left wrist, the one my father gifted me on my last birthday. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked pretty. I did. I double-checked if I had taken everything I needed. Finally I left for my bus. As I got there I realised I wasn’t that late. Some people were still coming at the bus stop.  The bus arrived late. My legs were paining already. I thought about the dreadful day I was gonna experience today. After all, this was my first time, my first MUN. I heard my friends attending it and they said that I could try one and if I like it then I can participate in more such MUNs. The bus finally arrived and I got on the bus. I saw my classmate, Ashley, sitting and going through her notes, I guess that was her GSL. She waved at me and gave a smile. I returned a weak smile to her. I sat one seat ahead her. We talked about our committees and portfolios, she was in UNHRC while I was in HJCC. She was also a first timer. I felt better knowing that I was not the only one who was nervous about the MUN. After having a conversation with her I thought to complete my GSL and position paper. I work fast so before reaching the school I was completed with the work. The MUN was at DPSG, Delhi Public School Guwahati. It was the 6th MUN at their school. I heard that it was a really big school, though I never entered the school myself before. Once we reached the school I scanned the whole school. Indeed it had a really big campus. After me and Ashley got down from the bus, we met students from our school already waiting there. We all hugged each other and wished each other luck then we went for registration. I looked around for HJCC, once I got it I went ahead and checked my name on the list. I signed in the place provided for signature and they gave me my ID. Then I met up with my friends and with some help we went to the auditorium, the opening ceremony was about to start. All of us sat together and started gossiping, you know “girls things”. We didn’t pay any attention to the speeches of the secretary general or the principal. What was there to listen? All those boring things, anyways who was interested to listen. Harshita, one of my other friend, said “Let’s go to washroom. I feel bored sitting here.” We all went towards the hallways but now the question was, where is the washroom? The school was bigger than we imagined and our school had a smaller campus as compared to DPSG. Overall we were new to the place so we asked for some help and found our way towards the washroom. After some time we again returned to the auditorium and the opening ceremony continued. They were having their debate finals too so that’s why it was taking so long for the ceremony to be over. Honestly I love debates but today I was too nervous and anxious about my first MUN so I didn’t pay much attention to whatever was happening on stage. I kept rechecking my notes and added some more notes, I didn’t need to add more but as I said I was nervous and nervousness makes people do many things. Finally after the long opening ceremony, we were told to go to our respective committee rooms. As me and my friends were new to the school we had some problem finding out the committee room. They were all in UNHRC or Lok Sabha so they went together finding their room and I was the only one at HJCC. I heard someone ask the Secretary General “Excuse me. Where’s HJCC?” I looked towards the voice to see who it is. It was a girl, she was really pretty. Or shall I say extremely gorgeous. She had a green shirt on with light brown trousers. She was maybe around 15-18. I went up to her “Hey! Are you a del of HJCC? Me too. Let’s find the committee room together. Shall we?” She had the prettiest smile. She smiled at me and said “Sure.” Then we both got out of the crowd and introduced ourselves. “I am Violina. It’s really nice to meet you.” She had that kind of expression which can make people forget about their nervousness. I did forget about all I was thinking about and introduced myself too “Myself Simran. It’s really nice to meet you too.” She looked at me raising an eyebrow “Are you the one who texted me on WhatsApp the other day?” I was confused for a second, then I realised that I did gave a text to a person the other day asking about some MUN tips. So she was the one whom I gave the text. “Yeah! I totally forgot about it. U look a little different from your WhatsApp profile photo. You look prettier.” She was blushing. I feel blessed that I have such good complimenting skills. “I think we should ask someone out for the HJCC committee room.” I looked at her with a confused look. I probably didn’t hear what she said because I was lost in my own thoughts. “I said that we should ask around about our committee room..” I heard it this time. “Yeah we should.” I looked around and saw a small boy running. He had a t-shirt on which had “logistics” written on the back. Logistics are the ones who help students around the school as most of the delegates are new to the school. I called him. “Hey! Can you please guide us to the HJCC room? We are kind of lost.” He smiled at me and said “Yeah I can surely. Follow me!” He was cute. He looked like he was a 4th or 5th standard student. I wanted to pull his cheeks. He was damn cute. He took us out of the building to block C. We were previously in block B maybe. I don’t have any idea about the school so I guessed it was block B. “What was your committee again?” Violina replied “HJCC.” He pointed ahead towards a room. “ That’s HJCC. All the best. Have a good day ahead!” We gave him a smile and headed towards our committee room. The room looked dead as most of the delegates haven’t arrived to the room yet. I looked towards the EB’s desk and it was empty. “So the EB’s are not here yet. I will get some time to look around the room and find a seat for myself.” I told myself. “Hey! Simran come sit here!” I turned my head towards my left. Violina was standing near two empty seats in the second row. I walked towards her, kept my bag on the desk and took a sigh of relief. “Finally I m getting to sit peacefully!” “I agree. I also got tired by the long opening ceremony.” Violina replied. Soon the room got filled up. I saw many familiar faces stepping inside the room and taking there seats. Familiar as I saw them in the opening ceremony but didn’t expect them to be my fellow delegates. Honestly I wasn’t expecting any awards in this MUN as it was my first one. I thought to play the role of an observant in this committee.  The room was filled with noise, people discussing about their portfolios and strategies. Me on the other side was looking through my Instagram as I didn’t know what to talk about. Also I wasn’t really well prepared. I looked up from my phone at Violina. She looked nervous as well but she was more confident then I was. She looked at me a weak smile on her face. I was going to smile back at her when I got distracted by the sudden silence in the room. I looked in front of me “The EB’s are here!” I turned my head again and looked at Violina. We gave each other an assuring smile that everything is going to be fine. “Delegates! May I get your attention please. So let me introduce myself. I’m your chair Sounak. I will guide throughout these three days, I hope we have a good time together.” I looked towards the desk where our vice-chair was sitting. He was busy on his laptop. “Seems like the world doesn’t exist for our vice-chair except his laptop.” I said in a low tone and gave a silent laugh.  “How can you concentrate on his laptop? I’m not even able to move my eyes from his gorgeous looking face.” said Violina and again she went on staring at the vice-chair. I can’t deny the fact that he was god damn handsome. Every female delegate in the room was admiring him. Not me. I’m an odd one out. I always was an odd one out. My type is different. Although I don’ really know what my type is. Maybe with time I will figure out my type. Finally the chair was finished with his introduction and it was now vice-chair’s turn to introduce himself. Everyone’s eyes concentrated on his clear-cut face. “So delegates, I’m Dhruv your vice-chair and there’s not much to know about me. I will be there to help you guys out and yeah have a great time.” Handsome yet boring. “So let’s start our committee. I would have loved to know your names but we don’t have much time so we’ll start with the GSLs.” Dhruv gave us a huge warm smile. Sounak sir spoke up “First we need to arrange you according to your portfolios. Anti-US and For-US. So I would like to request everyone to get up from your seats.”  I got up from my seat. “So For-US move towards the right side of the room and Anti-US towards the left.” I went towards the right as instructed by the chair and Violina followed me. Her portfolio was also For-US. “ I’m relieved by the fact that you’re For-US too. You are the only one I m familiar to in this committee.” Violina said with a relieved face. I didn’t say anything in return but exchanged a smile with her. I was nervous. Extremely nervous. “So delegates For-US take your seats in the right side of the room and Anti-US delegates please wait a few minutes.” People started taking there seats and I waited for everyone to be seated. I was always the person who waited for everyone to finish their work and then I would continue with mine. After everyone was seated me and Violina took the last two seats which was in the left side of the room. There were more delegates For-US than Anti-US so the right side was completely full. It looked like we were Anti-Us but never mind I’m fine with sitting anywhere. Violina was sitting towards my left and a really tall guy was sitting towards my right. The guy looked at me. We exchanged smiles. He was cute and handsome and he was very tall. Extremely tall. I thought to make conversation with him. Honestly I just wanted to overcome my so called “introvert era” but also at the same time I didn't wanted to miss the chance to make conversation with a handsome guy like him. “Hi! This is Simran. What’s your name?” I said with a smile on my face. I was trying to be as casual as i can and hide my nervousness. “Hii! Nice to meet you Simran. My name is Safik.” Damn he has a cute voice. “Nice to meet you too Safik. What’s your portfolio?” He pointed towards his placard. I didn’t really needed to read the placard because I read it a few minutes ago. I asked him about it just because I wanted to have a conversation with him. “What’s your portfolio Simran?” Did he just made my name sound hot? He definitely did. “Alan Garcia.” I replied. Being honest out here, I’m definitely not that “serious love” kind of person. I’m a person who believes that I was too young to experience true unconditional love. So I usually dated guys for a week or a month and that’s it. I never really went for a real relationship. I once had a serious relationship but that didn't go well and it made me lose interest in love. I kind of had a feeling that I’m gonna date this guy next. Dating was a casual word for me. I always have boys proposing me so it wasn’t that hard for me to find a new guy to date after my break up. “Delegates!” I turned my head at the voice of our chair. “So now we are going to start with the GSLs. We are going to start from the right side okay.” With this the GSLs started and I tried to pay attention to the GSLs as it was my first time I was trying to be observant. The delegates spoke their GSL’s one after the other. 3-4 GSL’s were done when suddenly the door of the room opened. A guy entered the room and a girl followed behind him. He was wearing a pair of spectacles and according to the dress code, which was formal,  had a white shirt on. His hair was kind of messy which actually suited him. He looked around the room. He was looking for empty seats but there wasn’t any. He started walking along the last row, he walked past me then he went to the right row of the room. My eyes were focused on him. It was a room full of people and noises but suddenly it felt like the whole room fell silent and there wasn’t a single person in the room. It felt like time stopped. My eyes never left his face although he didn’t even notice me. Something was different about him. He went up to the EBs and told something to them. Our chair person then went up to the logistic and whispered something to him. After some time two seats were brought by the logistic. Wait, two seats ? Oh I was so focused on him that I forgot that he had a girl with him. I looked at Violina who was busy on her phone. “Hey! Who are they? Are they delegates from our committee?” I asked her. She looked up at that guy and the girl sitting beside him. “I don’t know. Maybe they are.” “If they are delegates from our committee, then why are they so late ?” I asked her with a curious look on my face. “I have no idea.”  I looked back on my table then at the guy who was just sitting beside the EBs desk. “Okay so the next delegate can continue with their GSL.” Our vice-chair said. The next delegate started with his GSL. I looked at that guy the last time before focusing on the GSLs. The EBs allowed questions after each GSL which took a lot of time. Soon the committee session 1 was over and it was lunch time.
