The Dancing Tale

Chapter 1

"Are you sure you will be comfortable in living by your own in this city. " my uncle asked.

"For the hundred time, Yes, yes I will be comfortable in living here. You just checked my college and this apartment is also very good. Stop worrying about me. I am a big girl now." I said.

"I know. I know. It's just that you have never lived alone. And don't get me started with this city. I don't want you to be alone in this place." He replied. I sighed while looking at him. He is just so protective of me. I cherish it always but I want him to be tension free about me.

" It Wil take time but I will eventually get used to with it and I have to because now is the starting of my career and from now on I will have to face the world alone. I will call you daily and tell you about any kind of inconvenience. " I reassure him. This time he sighed and hold my hands in his.

" Your confidence and sheer will never fails to surprise me. But that makes you who you are and I won't be the hindrance in your path of success and hold you back. I trust you. " He said. I got teared up by his words and side hugged him.

How can he ever be the hurdle in my path when he is the one who provided me way to come this far.

"you can never...." I was about to say but my father walked out of the restroom which made us look at him and I separate myself from my uncle.

"Let's go and shop the necessities and settle the rent for this room with the owners before we have to leave for station." My dad said. He looked at us. I nod and grabbed my purse. That's a no secret that the relationship that me and my dad share is just for namesake but it's the story for another day. We left my room and started climbing down the stairs.

So this is where I am going to live for next 2 years. Let's hope these two years won't be bad. I want simple life which is free of any kind of drama because my life has not been so subtle. I had my rough patches to deal with and still coping up with them but without them I wouldn't have been the person that I am today. This place seems good and the owners, mr. and Mrs. Agrawal  seems like wonderful people and I don't know why I have this feeling that I had met them before they looked familiar but maybe I am thinking too much. And they are the 1 main reason to choose this house even though it's 2 kilometers away from my college.

I got so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see someone is coming towards me and I bumped into that person. I tumbled a bit backwards but got myself stable.

"I am so sorry I haven't been looking where I am going."

"Hey, I am sorry I didn't see you there."

We both said simultaneously. I looked up to see the source of the voice and my jaw tightened and  anger flared into me by seeing the person who was standing in front of me. By his looks I can tell we have mutual feelings towards each other on the grounds of anger and disdain. I tried my best to compose myself because I don't want my uncle and dad to know about the first inconvenience that I am having in this city.

Well I asked for a simple life and here we go. It's not even the 1st day and here I meet this sucker.

"Stalker much?" That sucker said while smirking. It took all my will power not just to slap this moron.

"What are you doing here?" I said after taking a deep breath to stop myself from saying any profanities and tried to hide as much hate as I can.

"Rudra. Come and get that box from...... Neeraj tu?"  I turned my head to the familiar voice and felt everybody else did too. I saw the source of the voice to be one of my uncle's closest friend Kripal.

"Kripal. hey. What are you doing here?" my uncle said and both my uncle and dad walked to him. I looked at them skeptically while they engaged in conversation but I was too distracted to focus on that.
