A Chance Meeting- Devakshi OS

Her heart beat was running fast as her cell phone buzzed. Excusing herself for a minute, she came out and holding her heart, received the call, "You made it!!!!!". She had to hold her phone a few inches away from her ear to protect her hearing sense as she could hear her friend's loud screams through it while giggling. The people passing by give her a weird look as she was standing in the corridor of the institute.

"Really??" she too shouted in excitement, not believing her words.

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!! Sonakshi can you believe!!! You passed with 1st Division?!" Sonakshi smiled as she heard her best friend Elena shout above her lungs.

"We need a party... We need a party!!!" Mahek almost said in a sing-song tone that was followed by all of her other friends who adopt the same tone. "Okay Okay guys!!!" She said calming them down.

Excited, that's what she was and her crazy friends too.

The smile still lingered on her face. Her friends became quiet to give her a chance to speak. "I am still at my institute to give afternoon classes. Can you guys pick me up at... " She looked down at her wrist watch "...6pm from here as if I go back to my Hostel, Hitler wont let me go out" She laughed as referring Hitler to the Warden of her hostel.

Her friends giggled and said. "Okay... Yippee!!!!!" and before Sonakshi could totally get deaf by the screams, she cut the call. A happy and satisfied smile took place on her face that reached her eyes,"I passed my masters with 1st division" she almost told herself.

Her hands were shaking now dur to excitement. She kept herself immensely busy today. Her final results was about to come out and as always, her friends were given the responsibility to check that out. She was just dazed at the thought of her bright future which was broken by one of her students who came out to call her.

"Oh Baby, Please don't deceive me!" She said making a puppy face. "You know how much I take care of you... have I ever given you a chance to complain?" She asked caressing the back and then again continued 'manoafying' her love. But when it didn't work out, she gave a great kick to that STUPID PINK SCOOTY of hers. "Crap of a piece" She said with anger moving her hand in her hairs. Her friends just dropped her at the institute in their car as she had to pick up her Scooty which was ever so smoothly running before but now it seems she also became a traitor.

The security guard of the Institute where she was teaching came to her rescue but still the Scooty didn't work. "Madam, I think there is some problem with the engine" He said taking a good view of the scooty. "There is a garage nearby, it could be get fixed there but that can only happen in the morning as it must be closed now" Sonakshi sighed. "Ok, can you please take care of it tonight? In the morning, I will come and drop it to the garage" Sonakshi asked and the watchman agreed and took the scooty to the far corner to park it in a safe place.

Angry, frustrated she took out her wallet from her jeans pocket and gave a glimpse inside. "Damn, I only have these 20 Rupees and 3 coins left... Now can't even hire an auto" and that left her with no choice than to go to the bus station that was on 5 minute walk from her institute.

It was getting late at night. The roads were almost deserted around the area. She looked at her watch and then on the road to wait for her Bus. It was just 5 minutes, when she noticed the presence of another person, standing at least 3 feet away from her at the same bus station.

She got scared. The firm looks and those brown eyes were mortifying her. She gave him a glimpse as he too looked at her and then turnrd her gaze back on the road. She was tired after the party and the whole last night, she couldn't sleep properly with the anticipation of the result and now, when she just wish to get home as soon as possible, her Traitor Scooty deceived first and now the bus who seems to be passing by every five minutes was taking too much time. She again sneaked a peek at the man beside her and thought, "I would give him ranks on the basis of his looks to pass my time."
