The sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors before sunrise, casting a warm glow over the serene Ganga River. A young man sat beside the river, his eyes fixed on the horizon. He was 21 years old, with a lean face, sharp jawline, and piercing brown eyes. His dark hair was tousled, and his tall frame, standing at 5'8", was relaxed as he sat cross-legged on the ghats, wearing a simple white kurta and pyjamas, his feet bare.

"Beta, let's go," a gentle voice called out.

He stood up, stretching his frame, and turned towards the voice. His mother, a woman in her mid-40s with a warm smile, beckoned him to follow her.

As they walked towards the nearby mandir, his mother glanced at him with a mix of affection and concern. "YoAn Unexpected Encounteru need to get ready for college soon, Jimin. You can't be late for the seniors' farewell party."

Jimin nodded, his eyes already fixed on the path ahead. He followed his mother to the mandir, where they performed the puja together, their hands moving in synchrony as they offered prayers to the deities.

After the puja, they walked back home, the air filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.

"Jimin, hurry up, you have to get ready," his mother reminded him, as she busied herself in the kitchen.

Jimin nodded, his mind already racing with thoughts of the party and the preparations he needed to make. His mother handed him a plate of steaming hot parathas and a bowl of curd. "Eat quickly, Jimin, you don't want to be late."

Jimin devoured the food, his eyes fixed on the clock ticking away. His mother watched him with a warm smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

"Thanks, Maa, I'll see you later," Jimin said, grabbing his backpack and rushing out the door.

"Be careful, Jimin, and don't forget to call me later," his mother called out, her voice fading into the distance as Jimin hurried away.

As Jimin rushed out of the house, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. He was excited for the seniors' farewell party, but also anxious about the upcoming exams and the pressure to perform well. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, and began his walk to college.

The streets were bustling with people, and Jimin wove through the crowds with ease. He passed by the familiar sights of street vendors and chai stalls, the smells of spices and tea filling the air.

As he approached the college gates, he could see his friends gathered outside, chatting and laughing. Jimin's heart lifted, and he quickened his pace, eager to join them.

"Hey, Jimin! Wait up!" someone called out.

Jimin turned to see his best friend, Rohan, jogging towards him. "Hey, man! What's up?"

"Not much, just got here," Jimin replied, grinning.

Rohan clapped him on the back. "Let's go, the party's about to start. And we need to get ready for the farewell ceremony."

Jimin nodded, and together they made their way to the college auditorium, where the party was in full swing.

The principal's voice echoed through the hall, "Please put your hands together for our special guest, Mr. Jungkook Malhotra, CEO of Malhotra Company!"
