"Mom I'm exhausted sitting ideal at home , my toe's good. plzzzz let me go . plz , plz ,plz ,plz ,plz.
Sha sha said there's gonna be cultural event in college . preparations have started . I don't wanna miss first event of my college life , plzzz mom ."
As I was busy convincing mom to let me go to college, dad entered my room . " why's my simmu so worried " dad said , I was happy that dad arrived . he was the only player of my side .
" dad , I'm perfectly OK . look at me , do I seem sick or unhealthy or weak to you ". I jumped out of my bed , stood on my toe to show dad that I'm ok now ." she's not allowing me to go ,plz tell her. I wanna go to college , I'm fed up just lying on bed ."
" OK , on one condition . dad will drop you & pick you up ".mom said angrily .
" mom Buzz's gonna pick me . I'm not a nursery kid .I'll go with her & she'll drop me home ."
" no argument . if u wanna go , go with your dad or else no need . I don't want u to break your another toe . that's it I don't wanna listen anything now ." mom ordered and got out of my room stabbing the floor .
I gave a dirty glance to dad but he was also helpless just like me .
" you cheater " I teased him
" who'll invite third world war by arguing with your mother ." dad said laughing . " get ready soon , or I'll be late ".as dad left my room , my cellphone rang .
" will u show up your face today or you want some more months to recover .you didn't even confirmed your addmission , all of your procedure is lacking behind ."buzz shouted loud as I picked her call .
" coming , coming . chill girl you'll surely see my beautiful face today ." I giggled loud .
" just shut up , I'll be there in 15 minutes . be ready "she said .
" No dad's gonna drop me . I'll meet u at entrance in 30 minutes , see ya bubye ".
" simrah , I'll be late . I have a meeting to catch , come on i can't afford to be soo late "dad shouted from his car .
" yes on my way just 2 minutes , I'm wearing my shoes ".
I ran towards car , I waved mom good bye and got in .
" on time right ? " I asked dad .
He said nothing and started driving .
It was almost 10:12 when we reached college entrance . I was again 12 minutes late . I got out of car and scanned whole street for buzz & sha sha but I saw nothing rather that bunch of seniors staring at me like my first day . I ignored them & turned towards dad ," I can go from here , I know my way . I'll meet you here at 4 ."
I waved dad bye and turned towards entrance . I inhaled and started walking in . I donno why but i was nervous . as I stepped in entrance gate I unzipped my bag and started searching my cell. I wanted to call buzz , I was feeling frustrated and alone .
As I was searching for my phone , simultaniously I was peeping back into my bag & was waking towards main building . unknowingly I stammed myself on something and was on ground again . all my little belongings were lying around . there were some papers covered with musical symbols lying aside me , but that didn't belonged to me . I lifted my head up to check out what was the thing I stammed myself.
There was a man half standing on his knees , struggling to assemble those papers with musical symbols . as he lifted his head from ground I saw the same sparkling deep brown eyes , which I saw in stars of my ceiling . " No Sim , not again . what the hell is going on . this isn't real ." while I was consoling myself , he assembled all his papers & turned his gaze towards me . when his eyes met mine he was also little bit surprised . i was wearing the same stole i wore on that day , still my face covered .it seemed like he recognized me . he turned his gaze towards my toe . it was still covered with bandage . and then towards my elbow . my elbow was recovered with little brown scratches on it . he was staring like , he's confirming that I'm the same girl .
He was again in black shirt with dark blue jeans . brown wrist watch on his left wrist .white sport's shoes imprinted 'Nike' on them . hair almost in place but somewhat fussed due to wind .his stuble short beard give his face a manly contour. upper 2 buttons undone , stands of sweat running through his neck . but the sweat was unable to fade the smell of His mantastic perfume. a big black guitar bag on his right shoulder , gave him an intense look . He was a perfect master piece , create by the biggest artist .
" you again , I know girls can't drive but I didn't knew they can't even walk straight " he yelled .
His vibrant masculine voice brought me back from my infatuated world .
It was same place , same him ,same me and his same rubbish attitude . I picked up all my belongings and stood up dusting my dress .
" excuse me Mr ,you guys blame us . but you all are nothing less .
Agreed , I was walking peeping into my bag but ,what were you doing? where were your eyes ? Gone for a walk or something... Bloody MCP's ." I mumbled everything I thought .gripped my bag , gave him a bad glance and started walking towards main building .
" yes! Sim ,you are awesome . what he thinks of himself , he is attractive so he can say anything . I am nothing less ." I was praising my self , meanwhile I reached the building . I wanted to turn back and look at him , but I stopped myself .
As I stepped the first stair I saw sha sha and buzz . they were reading something on notice board .
"Hi girls , wass up?" I patted both of them hardly on their back .
Sha sha turned with a numb face towards me . " all OK for both of us , but nothing will be OK for you now " buzz said disappointed .
" what are you talking about , what happened . all OK na?" I uttered tensely .
" just look at the notice board " . shasha said exhaling all the air out . I pushed both of them apart and stood in front of notice board . It reads that ,
NOTICE
To students ,
Saint Peter's college of arts and science .
This notice is to announce that the students who are late to confirm there admission procedure , should confirm up to 4/4/2012 or else the seat will be allotted to the students in the waiting list . administration will not be responsible for your loss .
Your generous ,
Administration dept .

" today is 7th April , what the hell . how can they do this with me ? " I shouted out loud.
" silence please , mam there's a board meeting going on inside ."
A man with a khakhee colored dress said angrily .
" how can I keep quiet . this is....."
I started yelling again but shasha
Packed my mouth with her hand and pulled me back .
" sir , we wanna know about the late admission procedure ."
Buzz asked that man peacefully .
" mam you should ask that to someone in office , I'm a peon . I have no knowledge about all that
Stuff ."he explained
" I will ask about this to someone in office you make her sit there and fetch her some water . she'll spoile everything if she'll talk ."
Buzz said to shasha pointing towards a side seat in corridor .
I gave her a dirty look , she replied back with the same look .
" stay calm , everything will be OK . I'll come in a sec ." she said and left .
" why this stuff happens with me all the time , you like to irritate me . right ? It was my dream , u can't do this with me ." I started mumbling looking at the sky .
" have you gone mad , why are you behaving like one " shasha
Exclaimed .
Just then buzz arrived with dull face , " they said they can't do anything , they gave a warning a week ago ."
" no no no no no , this is all shit .
That bloody idiot ,he's responsible for all this mess ....."
While I was screaming that peon came out again with bad look .
" mam please don't shout here , my job will be at risk mam ."
" my careere is at risk , you are talking about your job" I replied in frustration.
Buzz said him sorry and dragged me towards the ground. While we were leaving he came out again and said " excuse me ,
There is one solution to your problem ."
All 3 of us exclaimed joyfully , " what's that ?"
" you should talk to student's representative . he's only the one who can find a way for you ."
"Where we can get him?" I said suddenly .
" he just left for some management work , he'll come to canteen for lunch . you can meet him there . "peon said
Thanks , we said and we left for canteen .
Canteen was a funkey place . all over posters of yummy food , college logos & phrase everywhere. many students were seated bunking there lectures , enjoying with there so called friends .
" its been half an hour we're waiting & we don't even know who are we waiting for " I said exhausted .
" I'll go out and find something about him , you both wait for him here , kk" buzz said and disappeared from canteen .
"She's kinda good at convencing people , she should have stayed " I said & we both shared a laugh .
After few minutes shasha broke the silence , " I'm hungry , do u want something ? "
I nodded to say no and she marched toward the counter to order for herself . I was left alone on table exhausted and frustrated . it was just 1 : 30 in clock & it felt like I was out from ages . I never imagined that being in college is such a nasty thing . while I was abusing my destiny I saw the same peon cleaning the table in the last corner of canteen . he arranged a chair and placed a plate on table.
All tables were with 6 chairs but that table was in the extreme corner and just with one chair and a plate . all tables were occupied but no one dared to sit on that table . after cleaning he placed a lunch box beside that plate . I wondered " who the hell brings lunch box in college ."
Shasha was busy talking to her brand new friends and buzz didn't arrived yet . I just got up to take a walk through corridor . I got out of canteen's entrance and started scanning the whole new place . the peon was retuning back to his work again , " excuse me , may I know when will the student's representative will arrive & what's his name ?" I
Asked the peon calmly.
" Dayyan Mirza , head of student's council & chief association committee he just arrived . that's him talking to Mr. Nyre your chemistry teacher . "
Peon said pointing towards someone standing in front of office . I tilted my neck and dragged my focus where he was pointing . there was an old man standing , facing towards me with lots of oil on his head , more than enough for his countable hair. He was talking to someone with a big black guitar bag on his shoulder .just his back was visible as he was facing the old man.
" the big black guitar bag ." my
Mind whispered . I knew who he was , but I pretended to ignore my gut instinct .
" are you talking about that man with the guitar "I asked peon with hesitation .
" yes , he's the one " he replied " "are you sure " i asked again
"Yes " he said angrily and walked away towards office .
As he said that my body freezed ,
I felt as if nothing was worth living .
" God , this isn't him na ? many people have guitar with them , that jerk's not only the one" I
Explained myself and started staring at the man with guitar in hope ." not him , not him , not
Him" I was praying when he turned towards canteen .
"Shit man ". It was him same eyes , same hair , same dress and the same guitar .
" he'll never help me , on the other side hell be the one to push me out of the college . why this kinda stuff happens with me ."
I returned back to canteen and seated frozen on my seat .
I didn't knew what would happen next . he was the one I was abusing for my situation and he was only the way out .
