A PAIN CALLED LOVE

CHAPTER 1

(Updated on 27.03.2020)

Years ago......

Ishani was rushing through the corridors of the college campus. It was her practical jury today. She was a 1st year student and it was the final jury of her 2nd semester. Usually she is not a person who panics or gets tensed. She takes it with the flow. But today she seemed to be really tensed. She was walking outside the conference hall up and down waiting for her turn.
Raashi and Janvi watched her in a shocked state, because it was the first time she was in such a way.
After few minutes she was out cheerfully after her jury.

Finally the key part of their semester was done. Its just the final exams left.
Rashi, Janvi, Naira and Ishani - thr Fabulous Four. The best friends since day one of their college. Ishani was always special for the other 3. Firstly she was from Kerala and she was alone among the entire batch except 4 others. Secondly Ishani was that type of girl who doesn't act differently among people. She befriends everybody and she was loved by all. She was such a gem of a person.

Jaanvi is in fact everybody's favorite in their college. Janvi, Naira, Rashi and Janvi walked towards the canteen deciding what to do, like to go home or stay back in the hostel. Janvi was urging to go home since it was more than a month since she had been home. Even though it was just a day for the weekend to end, yet she wanted to go. The others dropped the plan of going home. Janvi finally fixed that she is going. Even though her college was in the neighboring state it was just 2 and half hour journey to her home and she could catch the college bus half the way. She asked if her dears were joining with her home, after a huge thought process Rashi turned up. 

They left the campus by the college bus. They reached home by around 8 pm. It was Saturday evening and they just had a Sunday at home. After reaching home she came to know that there was actually birthday celebration the next day. It was Ishani's little cousin Ruhika's 4th birthday celebration.

Ruhika is actually Ishani's mom's cousins' kid. Her mom's family seemed attached more like a joint family, even though they don't reside together. So her mothers' family is quite huge.

Ishani's dad is a very jovial person, very free with his daughter. They were settled at the US till her 9th grade. Ishaani's dad Mr. Vikas Dutt worked at a British Company. Once Ishaani's brother was graduated, he found a job at US, since then Mr. Vikas decided to quit working for the company and urged to return back to his homeland and live a life in the utmost simplicity. His wife, Ishaani's mom Moumitha Vikas was like a backbone to Vikas. She is a home maker and an excellent dancer. She always wished to be a dancer. But the situation and the family during her youth wasn't very convincing and financially weak too. Later, after coming to US, Moumitha started her classes and currently she teaches classical dance. Moumitha and Ishaani conducts various programs. Ishaani also helps Moumitha with her dance classes while she visits home. Jeevansh, Ishaani's brother is an IT professional currently works at Mumbai. He was working at the US for the past 5 years. Ishaani and Jeevansh share huge age gap of 12 years. Ishaani seemed more like a daughter to Jeevansh. And Jeevansh was everything for Ishaani. Relationships meant as a very important factor for Ishaani, in fact her whole family. She shares even the smallest thing with Jeevansh. As of now, actually not now, since decades Ishaani dreamt about Jeevansh getting married and Ishaani getting a bhabhi who is a sister for her.

So that's about the family.

Coming back. The next day that is Sunday. After the morning chores, Ishaani and Raashi went to Ishaani's ancestral home. It was a heritage model house. Ishaani showed around, took her through the fields, ponds, farm etc. Ishaani's was an old dignified family since ages. Later afternoon both Raashi and Ishaani was searching for an attire to wear for the party. They had come totally unplanned. Finally Ishaani took out a black anarkali. Ishaani took out her cousin Shika's skirt and top.

Little did Ishaani know that there was twists awaiting her life at the party. Life changes happen at prick of seconds. You never know whether its for good or the worst.
