"Jasmine Singhania”, my name echoed through the speakers. I snuck in my breath, mentally preparing myself to step on the stage.
Okay, it's happening
Stay calm Jasmine
I let out a deep breath and started moving forward. I gently rotate my shoulders to not look stiff. My hands clench into fists at my sides as I try not to trip off the graduation gown.
I looked ahead as the dean stood waiting at the centre of the stage hole, holding the diploma. Everything just blurs at the moment - the professors, the crowd, the cheers. My eyes just focus on that paper that I worked hard for
With a smile on my lips, I reach out to grip it between my fingers. Forcing my head to look at the camera, trying to act like my heart wasn't racing like Rajdhani expressed.
The camera flashes
A handshake. A nod. A congratulations
And it's done. Just like that.
I turn stepping down from the stage, my heartbeat still fresh and loud in my ear. As I finally reach the bottom, my eyes quickly scan over the crowd seated in rows of chairs.
Lucas, Loren and June had received their degree before me so they might have gathered around.
A gentle pat on my shoulder makes me look back. June stares at me with a huge smile “Congratulations girl!” She exclaims and gently pushes a bouquet of lilies towards my hand “To our memories and your new beginning
I blink in surprise, wrapping my fingers around it “Wow, these are beautiful!” I mutter, my eyes softening in awe as I pull her into a hug “Thank you so much”
She smiles as her arms elope me in a comforting hug. “Gonna miss you so much”, she mutters against my shoulder. June is going back to Thailand today itself, she may be helping her father’s business too
I pull away, breaking the hug “I am sorry I couldn't do much-”
She shakes her head, interrupting my words, “It's all right; I just wanted to show my appreciation for everything you have done for me. Plus we will be in touch”
I nod in agreement “Have a safe flight and text me when you get free”
“I will, Enjoy the party!” She says, giving my hand a gentle squeeze before releasing it. I stand there watching her disappear among the crowd with blurry eyes
Oh I am getting too emotional nowadays
I make my way through the crowd, the loud chatter and cheers making the place more vibrant.
“Jasmine!” Aunt Lia’s voice shoots through the voices making me spot her instantly. She waves her hand, beckoning me towards her. Everyone is gathered along with her
