I settled back into my college routine, but my encounter with Indu lingered in my mind. I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and joy whenever I thought about her.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into a whole year and I had almost forgotten about the chance of hearing from Indu again.
I was in my final year of engineering busy with my college projects and supplementary exams(Reapplying for subjects that you failed in your first attempt in engineering).
That was when my phone buzzed with an unexpected message
WhatsApp - "Hey...." from an unknown number.
I hesitated for a moment before replying, "Hi, do I know you?"
A wide smile spread across my face as I realized it was Indu."Indu, this is my dad's phone"
Arun: "long time, hw r u?"
Indu: "Good, I got my 10th grade results"
Indu: "I was thinking about which path to choose"
Arun: "oh..."
Arun: "Actually I would recommend taking a subject which u like"
Arun: "if u like science take Science in your junior college. If u like maths and looking to be a CA or something similar you can take commerce"
Arun: "I heart arts is great too but I don't have much of knowledge about it"
Indu: "I like both science and maths but not sure what to take."
Arun: "hmmm"
Arun: "What is your GPA?"
Indu: "9.8GPA"
Arun: "ohh.... topper"
Arun: "where is my party first?"
Indu: "what you want. You come here"
