"Rohan. Wake up, kid. It's time. You'll be late". Rohan mumbles hiding his face in bed placing the pillow on his head. She pulled the blanket that he tucked in with his body and turned off the A.C. which is what Indians moms do generally to wake up their kids.

“Mommm.. “ he said in a sigh but still in his sleep trying to open his eyes. He rubbed his eyes with his palms. She kissed his forehead and left. "It's a quarter to 8 Rohan. Get ready".
He freaked out as he heard it but sighed in relief as he cross-checked the time on his phone. That's another thing that parents do to trick their kids.

Either way, he Rushed to the bathroom, quickly took a shower. Wearing a black shirt and blue jeans and decently set his hair, glaring at his image in the mirror with brown orbs.

Placing a notebook in his bag, he made his way downstairs where his mom was cooking breakfast for him. He leaned on the kitchen island and asked his mom.
"Where is dad, mom?”
She turned, placing a cup of milk and a sandwich in front of him. Cleaning her hands and wiping it with a towel. She sat beside him at the dining table and told him that his dad left early this morning.
He finished his breakfast and placed the used plate and glass in the sink. Washing his hands he waved bye to his mom and left for college.

Pursuing his graduation in Bs.c (hon.) Chemistry in Delhi College. He is quite friendly. Even when a cat meows at him he mews back. Dedicated towards studies as well as professional in his every role in dramas and short films that are held in college and outside.
Though his mother is always supportive of his acting but his father always criticized him for his acting because he didn't want Rohan to get distracted from his studies and skip his lectures for these dramas.
Apart from these restrictions he still takes part in college dramas. Without even letting his father know. He secretly pursues his roles but studies late at night for his exams.

“Hey, Rohan” Someone called from behind. Rohan turned and followed the voice in the crowded hallway. He saw a familiar face smiling at him. A guy wearing an olive t-shirt revealing his muscular body and tanned skin and black jeans.
"Hey Kabir.".. Rohan waved at him.
Kabir slapped on his back and leaned towards him.
"I want to tell you, something bro. I finally got a girl".
"Huh.. who?", he asked in excitement.
"Rhea Oberoi" Kabir whispered.
"Wait. That senior! ''He moved away from his grip and leaned on the wall outside their class, folding his arms on his chest.
"Yeah the same one," Kabir said excitedly.
"Nah. I don’t believe it".
"Yeah me too. But I asked her out on the last day and she said “okay cool".

"She is tall, pretty, long hair and a perfect body. What else does anyone want?”
Rohan laughed out loud. "What!! You asked her out just like that??. Here I was thinking that you proposed to her."

Suddenly someone cleared his throat, Rohan and Kabir both said good morning and rushed to the class. Finding a place to sit when every last bench is occupied.
"There.". Rohan whispered and they sat on the third bench which was empty whilst waving to the other guys.

"Sir may I come in". Everybody turned towards the voice. A brown boy with curly hair wearing blue jeans and a white shirt with a check olive shirt giving a cool look carrying a notebook in his hand. The girls were already staring in awe admiring the looks of the boy and whispering "who is this guy."
Others replied, "I never saw him".
"Whatever, he is so handsome. Just look at him."

The teacher invited him inside. He passed a warm smile and introduced himself as Dhruv Singhal transferred to this college recently.

Suddenly a girl hollered "what a wonderful day”
The girl got attention and she bit her tongue and muttered"Am I speaking too loud".

Ignoring the girl, the teacher asked Dhruv to take a seat then continued with his lecture. As Dhruv passed by Rohan He felt like a cool breeze passed him, goosebumps erupted.
