In It Together Forever

Graduation Day

At last, it is the day I have been waiting for, my graduation I have got my first degree already, it just feels like I have just joined the college time really flies fast. I'm dressed in a red saree and ready. I open my bedroom door, and Krish is sitting on the couch in a grey suit. He walks towards me, looks at me up to down with his brows furrowed, and I throw my arms around him in a display of love and affection.

"You look so gorgeous in this saree. I'm delighted to know that you look awesome in all outfits", he mutters as he hugs me. Releasing me he holds me with his hands around my shoulder and walks with me to the living room.

"You look really good. Can't take my eyes off you", he says as we sit on the sofa set.

"Riya selected this for me", I reply and he rolls his eyes

"I see. Isn't she joining us?"

"No, she has some work so she will directly come there"

"Thank god. So I can spend more time with you"

"Shut up, okay"

"Shall we start now?"

"We have time. Would you like some coffee?"

"Sure. Come I'll prepare it for you"

"Krish", I call him out surprisingly

"I learned cooking so now onwards I'll cook and you focus on your doctoring", he says pinching my cheeks. He strolls to the kitchen and I enjoy seeing him preparing coffee for me. He returns to me and hands me a cup of coffee. It tastes good and the level of coffee powder and sugar was perfect for my taste. I complimented him and we started from home.

Krish parks the car in the campus parking lot, and we walk with the crowd of students and parents into the auditorium. I find dad waiting at the entrance of the auditorium. I go hug him from behind which startles him for a second.

"Ohh Megha, I'm pleased to see you. You look good", he says

"Even I'm pleased to see my old man who arrived here before his daughter"

"You look very nervous"

"It is a big day so"

"Yes. My sweet daughter has got a degree she is a doctor now. I'm proud of you."

"Even I'm proud of you, dear", Krish says

"Thank you for both of you", I said and wrap my hands around both of them.

"Enough of your family love. Here wear this, your graduation dress", Riya interrupts us and hands me a bag.

All three of them make their way to settle down with other parents and well-wishers present there and I make my way to my seat. I wear my convocation gown and my cap, it makes me feel privileged. The stage is still empty, my heart starts pounding faster and faster. I turn around and spotted dad and Riya, I give them a wave. Dad simply smiles at me while Riya gives me an excited wave. I observe the row where they are seated but I couldn't spot Krish, so I immediately text him.

Me: Hey, where are you?

Krish: Near the stage.

Me: Why?

Krish: Some staff asked me to do so.

Me: Okay

The auditorium starts filling and the voices become louder. Two girls settle on the left side of me. I don't recognize them but I was sure that they belong to my class. They were close friends for sure because they kept on talking. The seat on my right side was empty and soon a handsome guy took it. He was one of the most handsome rated boys in my class and he has ranked the second position according to the looks by the girls. He started the conversation with me and we congratulated each other and stopped talking.
