Enchanted

Tangled destinies 💞

"Now the time has come. After saying goodbye to my mother and brother , I arrived at my destination that I had been waiting for three years - the University of Mumbai, a new place with new people.

*As I entered the college, I was amazed by its beauty. My dad, as always, proudly stood near the college and took a picture of himself.

Dad: Nazila, come here and take a picture of me, beta

Nazila - Haha, dads! Sometime he should also realize what it feels like to be separated from me

Dad- Come, let's take a photo, but then I also need your permission to click yours!

Nazila: Dad, you have already taken 5-6 pictures of yourself. You should let me take a picture of myself

Dad: You'll be here all the time, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to take your picture

Nazila: But this is my first time here

Dad - Alright, let's take a photo. Smile!

*Clicks a photo together*

Nazila - Yay! Now we have a photo together, and I will always remember you when I'm in college. You should also video call me so that you don't miss me

Dad - Yes, of course! Now you enjoy your college life, and always stay happy. Mom and I will always be with you, no matter how far apart we are

Nazila - Thank you, dad! Your blessings will always be with me. Now I'm going to explore college, and I will keep you updated every day. Love you!

Dad - Love you too, my child! All the best for your college journey.

Nazila - Thank you, dad! Your love is the most important thing for me

Dad: Well, I haven't video called your mom yet. She'll scold me if I don't do it soon

Nazila: Haha, dad, don't worry! You can video call her and tell her that you took a picture of me near the college. She'll understand

Nazila - Dad, let me put all this stuff in the hostel once and then we can video call

*To be honest, I was quite nervous before going to the hostel because I have to spend more time there than in college. I don't know how my roommates will be, whether they will accept me or not

*As soon as I opened the door of my room, I noticed a girl. She was dressed entirely in pink - pink dress, pink nail paint, pink hairband. It seemed quite weird to me. The pink-clad girl came up to me and greeted me

Eshika - Hi, my name is Eshika. Give me your stuff, I'll help you

Nazila - haii I'm Nazila Iqbal thanks. Yes actually, my dad is in downstairs, but they didn't allow him to come up to the girls' hostel

Eshika - Yes, I know. I've been here for 3 years. I finished my under-graduation from here and now I'm doing my masters

Nazila - Wow, that's great. Which department are you in?

Eshika - English

Nazila - Oh, I'm also in the English department. Thank God, I found someone from my own department

Eshika - OMG!!! By the way, where are you from?

Nazila - Kolkata!! What about you ?

Eshika- Pune Maharashtra

Nazila- Oh wow, that's great! How did you feel when you first came here?

Eshika- Initially, I was also nervous, but the people here are really friendly. You'll also love it here, trust me!

Nazila- I hope so too. Being with you is giving me confidence as well

Eshika- Nazila! I already feel like we're going to be great friends. Come on, I help you with your stuff

Nazila- Yes, let's go! Thank you for your help. This first day is going to be memorable

Eshika- Yes, it will be memorable! And don't worry, we'll make our college life even more enjoyable
Since you're new, let me tell you something about this college...

Nazila - Wait, my dad is waiting downstairs, I'll go talk to them

Eshika - Sure, I'll come along

Nazila - No, it's okay

I came outside the hostel and couldn't find my dad anywhere. He wasn't answering my calls. I got really scared and started looking around everywhere like a mad person. Just then, a guy on a black Kawasaki sports bike came towards me and I accidentally bumped into his bike while I was using my phone.

Nazila - Can't you see? Are you blind?

The guy slowly takes off his helmet.

Guy- You're alive, not dead. Just a little scratch, put a band-aid on it.

Nazila - are you out of your mind ??

Guy: You came in front of me while looking at your phone and now you screaming at me.

Nazila: So what? Couldn't you see your speed? Who rides a bike like that in a public place?

Guy: My speed was fine, that's why you're alive.

Nazila - Don't you have any manners?

Guy- Where can I buy manners? Tell me, I'll buy them, because I don't have any.

*I get angry and break his bike's headlight.

Guy- are you mad??

Nazila - I guess so,you don't have manners, and I don't have patience.
So Excuse me now.

The guy tries to stop me, but I walk away.
