"No words, just perfect"

"Part - 2"

Continuation...

*****

One of the officials announced,

"Hello, guys. Myself, Vineet Rajashekar, senior consultant of student counseling and placement cell in the same college you guys are applying for and that is Woodridge International Technical University of formal education." He took a pause and looked around the gathering. He smiled at them, making them feel better. He went on to continue,

"So talking about the admission process, you guys are lucky as you get this rare chance to be a part of this program. Until now, we haven't done this kind of program. But, this time we are in search of extraordinary potential candidates who find difficulty in getting a seat in our college for example, due to financial issues or distance issues or any such thing. So our board has planned this and we are here in front of you. So, are you all interested or to be specific, looking forward to this?" He asked with enthusiasm, for which the students hooted back with the same vigor.

"Yes"

"Yes sir"

"Yes"

Likewise, everyone replied together with the hope to make it to the final admission list.

Mr. Vineet heaved a sigh, and continued again,

"So now let's discuss the test details and the way we have planned to work on this. First, this program will require everyone to write a test and it will be objective type with simpler problems that would showcase the overall eligibility of a candidate." He said and made them understand the students.

Lasya who was listening to all of it was thrilled to know about him and the college idea behind this initiative. And she is also looking forward to this test with more eagerness. She wanted to see, how it feels to be selected. So, yes she has decided to put her maximum effort into this, and anyhow wants to win the program for herself. She was brought back from her reverie when she heard Mr. Vineet talking again.

"So the test will be starting within a few minutes from now on and it will be one hour long. There will be 60 questions with a mix of technical aptitude, general knowledge, logic, and reasoning, and mathematics. There won't be any negative markings but there is a bonus point if you attend each and every question and I would suggest all of you at least give the questions a try. Because it helps us to gauge you with every skill. I hope it is clear." Officer looked around and cheered up every student with a thumbs up. He again continued,

"Later after this round, you will be verified with your previous certificates and the marks. Then Finally, we will have a one on one contact or say discussion with our apt candidates and the most important matter is that we are selecting the most eligible 6 candidates for our full scholarship program with any choice of your course in our college. Then based on their certificates we will choose the best 3 out of 6. So all the best my dear girls and boys."

He said in a go and lasya was dumbstruck here. She blinked her eyes once again to check whether it's a dream or not. She heard they would select 6 people so there are chances that she can be one among them. She sighs and arranges her things on the table with pens, pencils, and other stationery.

"I believe to take this test seriously and give your best shot. And I am eagerly looking forward to knowing the best 6 as they have the options to gauge their future by their own hands..." He trailed off and went away leaving the students alone for some time.

Lasya was just sitting there, looking at everyone, and acting all cool. But she only knows how she is feeling. She left the choice to her Lord and decided to give her the best.

On the other side, Shravas was driving the car while listening to music. His phone starts ringing and he groaned internally as the music was stopped abruptly. He parked the car on a safe side and attended the call.

"Hey Bro, where are you?" Someone from the other side chirped out.

"Well good morning to you too Karan. I am on my way towards the venue. We shall meet there." Shravas said chuckling feeling the tension in his voice.

"Aww, I am sorry Bro. Good morning. Well, I am literally freaking out here. So, I am a bit tensed and that's why I forgot even to greet you!" Karan, one of his friend's brother convinced.

"Hey, it's fine. I was just pulling your leg. I know how it will be. So take a chill pill and it all depends on the luck as this is a little tricky like you know as it depends on the instant performance at first. So, let's try and check it out." Shravas made him understand the things, like how it worked.

But Karan was adamant like to join the same college as his brother as he wants to show his brother and his parents that he is also not any less. But little did he know, that destiny is not what we plan but by Lord himself!

"Okay, bro. So I am here standing near the entrance. We shall go inside together once you reach. Will that be fine?" He asked to confirm as he was waiting for him impatiently.

"Sure Karan. I will be reaching there within 10 minutes." Shravas said and hung up the call. He then drove the car towards the venue which was just a few minutes away from the place where he parked the car.

Shravas was sad as he missed Lasya for two days and was in her memory spree that he forgot about Karan. Hence he was late to wake up and now, pulling it off.

-------

"Hey, this way Karan," Shravas said and dragged him towards the large hall which was set up for the tests to take place.

Karan followed him without any word and after a few minutes of searching, they finally found the room they were looking for long.

"All the best Karan. Give your best cause I guess there is a test to be conducted so yeah, we will meet after this, and don't worry. Give me a call I will be around here." Shravas said and gave him a hug.

---------

Shravas was roaming here and there, and all of a sudden his phone started ringing. He moved away from the corridor and stood in a nearby window and attended the call.

"Hey Vasu, where are you?"

"Hi, I am here at the venue. What's up?", said Shravas while narrowing his eyes at someone down the hall.

" Oh yes, I forgot. Damn, do you want me to accompany you? Is it done? Should I come over there?" Kinshuk was bombarding him with questions which made him let out a throaty chuckle.

"Hey, it's fine. Within an hour it will be finished. Anyhow, we will meet in the evening. You take rest now."

"As you say then, bro. I am heading to complete some work given by my dad. I will later contact you or maybe in the afternoon, I will meet you directly at your home. What say?"

Shravas thought for a minute and gave him the confirmation about the plan.

"Well then. Have a good day. See you soon Vasu."

"Yup, ciao", Shravas said and hung up the call.

He then looked again at the point where he felt he saw someone who he knows.

But, nevertheless, he didn't see anyone again.

Heaving a sigh, he decided to check the canteen area for some refreshment. Keeping the phone in his pants pocket, he walked towards the direction of the pantry with a boring look.

" Damn my little hearts! You have literally screwed me up and now itself you have wrapped me around your little finger. I so miss you Lasya.", Shravas mentally groaned thinking about her as he was having a break down of not seeing her for some days and the most important thing is he doesn't know the reason why she is not coming out. He just prayed to God, to make her fit and fine and wished her the best.

Little did he know, from today his life is going to be more exciting and interesting in every way...
