"Aaaaahh! Noooooooooooooooo! ".

Khushi swiftly wakes up from her bed sweating. She wheezes with trepidation (fear). She touches her forehead and wipes her sweat off exhaling. She cools down slowly. She sees the time and bangs her forehead.

Khushi: It's 9.30 Am !! Why didn't dadi (Paternal grand mom) wake me up? Oh no! I have to go to the college!

She gets up making her bed. She runs out of the room and sees her dadi drinking lassi ( sweetened buttermilk).

Khushi: Dadi, why didn't you wake me up. I need to go to the coll...

Dadi: it's Sunday Khushi!

It then strikes to Khushi. Ah Yes!

Dadi: By the way, why were you shouting?

Khushi: And why didn't you come for my rescue. See you, drinking lassi coolly without even caring for your granddaughter.

Dadi: Well I'm used to your shouts often. What did you dream of today? The same old one?

Khushi(saying pensively): No, old-old one...

Dadi: What? Come again? Why are you looking so tensed?

Khushi: Nothing Dadi, I'll go and get ready.

Dadi: But where? Do you want me to accompany you?

Khushi: No, I need to go out alone. I have some work.

Dadi: Hey Bhagwan!! Yeh Ladki bhi na! ( Oh god!! This girl!) Wonder what happened today.

Khushi goes inside her room and checks her phone she sees 7 missed calls from "Venky". She panics. She calls him swiftly.

Venky: Khushi, where are you? I called you many times. Why didn't you answer me?

Khushi : Sorry Venky, I dozed off. Tell me what made you to call me this many times.

Venky: Listen, I need to talk to you... it's really important... and.. and .. just come over.

Khushi: Ya, even I want to talk to you. I was about to come there.

Venky: What? Even you?

Khushi: Listen it's about my dream... and.. and...

Venky: The same old one huh?

Khushi: No old-old one.

Venky: What? What are you saying?

Khushi: No I'll come there and tell you. Why do you sound very happy? Any good news?

Venky: I'll say it in person. Come to the park.

Khushi: But at least hint me?

Venky: No! I won't. I want to see your reaction.

Khushi: Mr. Venkat Sharma! You are inexplicable....

Venky: So are you darling..

Khushi blushed.

Khushi: I'll be there soon.

Khushi goes to her washroom and splashes water on her face. Looking into the mirror she becomes hazy of her thoughts.

Khushi (Thinking) "How could I imagine such a thing? And that too after years.. Why am I suddenly getting thoughts about you?"

Still staring at the mirror, she reaches for her towel. She wipes her face and looks into the mirror vaguely.

"I don't know what happened to me... I haven't seen him since 5 years(with 2 years of daydreaming about him). Why so suddenly?? How could this happen? Are these signs that I'll be meeting him again? No! I don't wish to meet him again...! How could I dream of him all of a sudden? It's been 3 years I've had such dreams of him. But in all those dreams, I had only seen him in a negative way or perhaps he is that way real. But now, I see him as......"

Dadi(outside the room): Khushi, I've made you some Kachoris. Come over and eat them. Did you bath?

Khushi: Ya Dadi, I'm coming. No, I'm yet to. I'll come in 15 minutes.

Dadi: Offfoh! What were you doing until now? Come soon. Otherwise It'll be cold. Wonder what happened to this girl and whom she is thinking about!

Khushi(looking into the mirror indistinctly she muttered) : Arnav Singh Raizadha!
