Aadrika's POV

Hi I am Aadrika and I live in Shimla a heaven and today is my first day at uni , as always i'm too late. It's like my bed doesn't want to leave me uhhh.

So here we live in a beautiful raw house which is not so lavish but it is most favourite place of mine and yes it is my happy place.The cool breeze,the snow ,the mountains ,beautiful flowers,the temples ,the architecture of this place you will never found anywhere.And this is my Ardour I will never leave this heaven ever. Breaking my chain of thoughts I run towards bathroom to get ready.

The smell of Babru(a sweet delicacy) just filled my nose. 'Mamma did you make Babru today' I run toward the kitchen 'yes it is there go just have it', mamma said .'oh wow it's yummiest ma.'i said feeling the texture of it. She is giving me that hundred volt smile, one thing you have to know if you want to make my maata happy just appreciate her food.She loves to cook and more than that she love to feed people .

Of course like all mother she is giving instructions like you gave them to toddler and not a 23 year old girl.'Ok I am leaving bye 'giving her peck in her cheek I was just running towards the gate and I just halted in the position.

Because at this exact moment my favourite person in the whole wide world staring at me with a soft smile my papa , caressing my head he said All the best ,'Be safe ok' he said in a concerning voice and I just Love this feeling the love and care my mamma and papa shows I feel so blessed. I hope I will always make them proud.

I just nod my head ,by giving him smile, i hurried towards the main gate.

Oh I forget to tell you, I admitted for post grad in literature at AP Goyal Shimla University and i'm very excited. As I was going to start my scooty Papa yelled from behind 'give Chitaksh my blessings', I turned and give my thumbs up as I was wearing a helmet.

Did I mention who is Chitaksh He is my best friend, my buddy, my secret keeper but let me tell you we are like two opposite poles, if I say right he will always move towards left. And I still can't believe that our friendship had survived for so long. But I adore him and the best part is he is in the same uni as mine but he is doing post grad in business management (OFC he hate literature).

Sometimes I wonder why he didn't hate me because he hate those people who didn't respect his time and I have always make him wait for hours and hours ,still he is good to me. He greet other people with the permanent scowl (ofc not with me).And i loathe him for that, he looks so good when he is polite and kind like normal people.As I heard the honking from behind which breaks my thoughts, as  traffic was clearing ,with the urgency I start the scooty because I don't want his lecture about being late and values of time etc etc.

Chitaksh's POV

'Hey Chitaksh what're you doing here?'
A girl asked me when I was standing below the building of My Best friend department ,I don't know the girl standing in front of me ,but she calls me by my name Weird( How everybody get to know my name in every fricking place).'You're in the business department right'.She tells me and I didn't bother to reply i don't like talking to strangers. I'm not good with words (acording to her ), by giving me a unsatisfied face, she leaves and I was relieved.

Yes I know I'm in different department and I shouldn't be here in literature department where everybody has no work except staring at me oddly, every fricking girl and boy uhhh I hate you Sinha.I can still go and just forget that I have my best friend to meet on our first day at uni.

I hate people who didn't value the time but she is the exception I can't hate her it's not in my hand.She is irreestible perhaps she is the most beautiful girl I've ever met.our thoughts process is completely unlike but she is the most caring, adorable and alive soul I know. And I never tell her these wise words ,Never. She is already full of herself.

I always run where woman are concerned but that chotu si ladki keep me at her little finger and always orders me( I never take orders but not in her case).

And then I heard a most enchanting voice which calm my annoyance a little bit but still I'm irritated . So I have to give her lesson today. 'Heyyyy',shouting loudly (typical adrika) running towards me ,she will definitely break her nose someday, she never walks like normal people This girl . I glare at her and she understood that I want her to slow down, being dramatic she is placing her legs extreme slowly getting too much attention which doesn't go well with me.

It makes me uncomfortable I like being in the crowd not in the centre of it but with this chotu si ladki I can never achieved that.

Giving her neutral expression i wailed at her 'what the hell Aadrika you are one hour seven minutes late.' I try to use my hoarse voice that I use with other people to make them fear me but not with her ( point is I tried). 'Sorry sorry sorry' making a cute little a typical Adrika pout. 'Don't' , I said with a firm voice  'promise I will never be late from now on' she said by holding the tip of my shirt ( a big lie)

I didn't replied and I know it doesn't go well with her she hates when people ignore her I'm doing exactly this to get on her nerves.'Chitaksh enough now',and I dissolved by this enough, it makes me weak i don't know what it is but triggered something in her when she said this word it means she is on verge of tears and I can't let that happen, never.

Therefore I nod and ease the lines of frown on her head with my fingers ( our tradition) 'ok now wish me you dumbo',she said(not a single person dared to call me dumbo but she is Sinha she can do whatever the hell she wants), spreading her little two hands, i smiled and hugged her and by patting her head I said 'Good luck You chotu si ladki' , with a devilish smile.

I know she hates this name but I loved it. By Breaking our hug she slapped me on my arms 'don't you dare to call me this again in front of other people i will kill you Chitaksh' she said with a big scowl. 'No chance,'  i muttered slowly more like whisper.

'Ok now let's go' I said, she stand with a frown 'aren't your department is this side'? Pointing a finger towards my back 'Yes I know very well Sinha we are going to eat something in canteen then only you and I will attain the classe '. I said holding her hand,'What? no no it's our first day we are already too late Chitaksh it will affect your reputation as well as mine'.I turned towards her and tell her. Did you have your breakfast?  giving me a twitching lip she said 'nooo' 'then we are going to eat first',  and I drag her to the canteen. 'You are too stubborn', she said 'I know. giving her plate of sandwich 'Now eat.'I said

Giving me a look she starts to dig. After her love for her parents and music she loves food. But she is too careless to have a proper meal and I hate it. 'Slow down ' i said ,'I am getting late Chitaksh 'she said , with a mouth full of sandwich.'Thats why you should value time if you come earlier we wouldn't be late ', I said by giving her a sarcastic look .'oh please I was not that late you are making me late 'she said with a frown.'Ok ok finish your thing then we will go' I said finishing my sandwich.

After paying for sandwiches, we leave for our classes , ofc she was running 'slow down Sinha', I said firmly she turned giving me wave she entered her wing. I al.so moved for my department

I don't know I didn't like the idea of not sharing same classroom with her, It's weird I feel something different today I can't point what it is. Maybe because we have shared three years of graduation in the same class even the same bench. I have always been protective towards her( for which I heard so many rumours about her and me in college) but still today it feels something so very different.

Oh God this girl always play with my brain. I want to focus on my studies I didn't want to be here in shimla for a long time.I have dreams to complete and a future to make. I have company to build for which I already started by making contacts.Focus Chitaksh just Focus i murmur to myself.And entered the classroom.

Ok this was the chapter
