"SIYAAAAAAA I AM GIVING YOU LAST WARNING!! GET UP NOW KUMBHKARAN. Wake up you are getting late. It's your first day you can't be late."
Tara screamed at her daughter who was just sleeping like a log. Meanwhile she just covered her face with duvet.
'Why this women can't let me sleep peacefully!!' She thought.
"Mummy let me sleep for few more minutes" She said and buried her face in pillow.
"Ok let me call your father" Saying so she left from the room.
After few minutes Harsh entered inside her daughter's room and found her brushing her teeth.
"What happened papa? " she asked with most innocent face.
Nodding his head negatively Harsh went out from room. She sighed in relief.
"Yaar ye mummy har baar papa ko kyu bula leti hain" She murmured while brushing her teeth.
[Why mummy always call papa!!]
She looked at Ritika who was sleeping peacefully and smirked.
"Asli maze to iske hain... school jane ka koi tension nhi!!! I also want to go to college..mummmyy I hate this school" she whined looking at sleeping figure of Ritika with jealous face.
[She is enjoying her life. Without any tension of school!! ]
After brushing her teeth she knocked the door of washroom.
"Divya how much time you will take !! Get out!!! I can't control moreeee!! My stomach is aching " She shouted at her sister who was inside the washroom from 10 minutes.
"Please do it fast" she again shouted and jumped controlling herself "Ouchh!! Don't jump siyaa!! " she mumbled while sitting on a chair holding her stomach.
As soon Divya came out from washroom Siya ran inside cursing Divya "Taj Mahal bana rahi thi kya andar!!"
[Were you building taj mahal inside the washroom?]
After sometime Siya came out from washroom wearing her school uniform and found Ritika was making Divya's two pony and Divya was sitting on floor.
"Aaja teri choti bana dun" Ritika said to Siya who take a comb and started coming her hair.
After making their ponies they came out from the room . Divya and Siya went infront of idol of lord Krishna and joined their hands. Reyansh also joined them after few seconds.
"Krishna you know na today is my first day at my new school!! Ofcourse you know. I know that you are with me always will take care of me like you do. I don't know aisa kyun lag raha hai ki aaj kuch bahot khas hone vala hai... jo bhi ho please sambhal lena. "
She lits up the diya and left from there not before touching Krishna's feet.
After doing breakfast they touched Harsh's feet "Jai siya raam papa"
"Stay blessed. Study well and don't try to break any rules. If i get any complain from school than it won't be good for you all. And we have just shifted to Mumbai and this place is new for you all so don't go anywhere alone.Reyansh look after them" He said looking at the newspaper.
Reyansh nodded "Ok papa"
He nodded and take out three notes of rupees hundred from his purse. They controlled their grin and looked at each other with twinkling eyes.
"Take it" He gave them 100-100 rupees.
"It's not needed papa.. we already have money" Divya said earning a glare from his brother and a kick on her feet from Siya.
"It's ok papa..we will take it. Let's go Divya we are running late . Ritika didi let's go" She said dragging Siya with her.
Ritika takes her helmet "I will drop siya by my scooty and Reyansh take Divya with you on your bike" She said before going outside from the house followed by Siya.
"Take care and all the best to you." Ritika Didi said to me after she get down from scooty.
"Thank you Ritu"
"How many times i have to remind you that i am your elder sister..call me didi" She said glaring at me and i just clicked out her tounge . I love to irritate her and afterall irritating her is my birth right.
"Didi wait for me" We heard Divya's voice who just get down from bike.
"Let's go. Byy Rituuuu" I said and went with Divya.
We both entered inside looking at the surroundings in awe.
"Didi i am feeling nervous. I am missing my old friends. How would i manage with new classmates" Divya said clutching my hand tightly.
"I can understand Divya..I am also nervous but we have to adjust here .
Zindagi me agar badlav na aaye to zindagi ka maza hi kya hai?
So calm down and just remember that i am here.
. if anyone troubles you in class just come to me.
.i will break their bones. And just chill i am sure we will have fun here. " I assured her giving a side hug
"Didi we are not here for having fun.. we are here to study.. remember what papa said?" Divya said rolling her eyes at and i scrunched my nose.
"Tu na jada Dadi maa mat ban ..Go to your class now.. We have reached at your class building and i also have to search my class" I said and Divya went towards her building.
I also walked towards her building while thinking about Divya's words .
Divya was somehow right. I have to study now otherwise papa would throw me out of my house.
.. atleast i have to score 60 percentage.
.Ye jada ho gaya..i have to score atleast 50 percent.
I climbed the stairs and reached at the fourth floor breathing heavily.
Who the hell made this fourth floor!! Somehow i reached at my corridor .
Huh!! Finally!! Just than i saw some group of boys who were fighting holding each other's collers and other students were just standing there.
"Wow this is fun" i said and went towards them and stand with other students who were also enjoying the scene. It is fun watching these boys fights untill it becomes much serious .
"I already warned you to stay away from Riya. I love her. She belongs to me" One boy said among them holding collar of another boy. The other boy also spoke "Why ? Is she your property or what? I also love her"
"Fighting over a girl. Cool!!" I said to myself and chuckled but found their head snapped at me . Oops i said too loudly i think. I gave them a nervous smile and began to walk but stopped by a voice.
"Is there a show going on that you are enjoying? Stupid girl." One of the boy said and that was enough to make my blood boil.
I looked at him "How dare you to call me stupid? Ofcourse we will enjoy if you would do a free public show like this. First look at yourself before saying anything to others. Bloody tamasha vala." I said and he gritted his teeth.
"How dare you to talk to me like this? Do you know who i am? " He said and pushed me making me fall on floor. Before i could get up and break his head i heard a voice.
"Ritik!! What the hell you are doing!!" A boy came to our direction and kneeled down infront of me .
His face is like a blooming lotus and splendid with thousands of moons.
His amber eyes, flecked with gold. Like lightening in a storm-black sky.
I was feeling like drowning into those amber eyes and never wanted to come back.
.He was created by the creator with great care, after remembering all the qualities that should be remembered.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
But i wasn't in state of answering him back. I don't know what is happening to me . Why my throat went dry?? Why i can't able to say a word? Why my heartbeat is running like PT Usha.
"Are you fine? " He again asked but more loudly.
I somehow managed to speak while getting up "Y..yes. "
"Don't you have little maners Ritik?? Is this a way to treat a girl? And what the hell you both are doing here? Come with me " He said raising his voice. His amber eyes were filled with anger.
"Where?" Asked the boy .
"Principal office..Just come with me otherwise i will drag you both there" He said and began to walk while the both boys walked behind him.
I just kept staring at him until he disappeared from my sight.
I have no idea what has happened to me at that moment.
Did i fell in love at first sigh. No no there is nothing like love at first sight.
"It's just an mere attraction I guess" I assured myself while entering into the class.
"Siyaaaaaaa" I heard an over excited voice and looked at the owner of the voice who ran towards me taking me into a tight hug.
"Arushiiii" I also exclaimed happily hugging her more tightly.
Ohh!! I forget to tell you about her. Actually i met her on Instagram's comment section when she replied to my comment at a reel and after that we started talking daily.
I had already informed her that we are shifting to Mumbai and taking admission in her school and since than we both were excited to meet each other.
I looked at everyone who were just looking at us "Aru it's getting awkward now!!" I coughed and she broke the hug before giving me a slap on shoulder.
"Siya she is Richa my best friend and Richa she is Siya. I have already told you both about each other." Arushi introduced me to her best friend and we both just smiled at each other.
"Come keep your bag here and let's go to ground for assembly." She said dragging me to her seat and i placed my bag beside hers.
We reached at ground and went towards our assembly. I literally hate these morning assembly.
"Garmi lag rahi hai yaar!! Ye teachers khud to stage pe fan ke neeche khadi ho jate hain aur ham log ko dhoop me khade rakh ke prayer karvate hain..Inki wajah se aaj ki yuva peedhi kamjor hoti jaa rahi hai" I said whining making Arushi and Richa chuckle.
[It's getting hot yaarr!! Look at these teachers. They are standing near the fan and make us stand in this hot weather. Because of them today's youth is becoming weak]
"Abhi ruko principal ma'am ka lecture bhi hoga last me" Richa said.
[Wait for Principal's lecture"]
I was whining while fanning myself from my handkerchief just than he came to stage. I guess you all understood who is "he".
"Good morning Principal ma'am, teachers and all my fellow schoolmates.
Join your hands and close your eyes and get ready for the morning prayer" He said and turned off the mic before stepping back.
Everyone have closed their eyes and singing the prayer but my eyes were only fixed on him.
The assembly is no more boring for me as long he is standing there.
After assembly we all returned back to our classes.
"Siya.. where are you lost? I thought when we will meet you would be excited but you aren't looking happy..' Arushi said with a sad pout.
I shook my head "It's nothing like that Aru.. Actually..I..i met a boy few minutes ago.. and.." Before i complete my sentence Arushi and Richa attacked on me with their questions.
" Who is he? How does he look like? What is his name? Which class? Do you love him? Did he proposed you? "
" Arre Chennai express sun to lo..I am saying that when i met him i felt something different..i mean i have met so many handsome boys but never felt like that..He was asking me something but i wasn't in state of uttering a single word and kept looking at him." I explained them .
"So you have crush on him?" Richa asked with a big grin .
"No i feel he is more than a crush" I said remembering that moment.
"So do you fell in love" Arushi asked and i shook my head negatively.
"No ..i mean wo jo beech me hota hai na..crush se jada par pyar se kam. " I said making them confused.
"Now what is this new term?" Arushi asked rolling her eyes.
"Arre kuch kuch hota hai Aru tum nhi samjhogi" I said in srk style.
" Atleast tell us who is he? " Richa asked looking at me curiously.
" That head boy..who was standing at stage " I said making their eyes wide and mouth open.
"You mean Shashwat bhaiya?? You like him?? Really siyaa??" Arushi said still squeezing my hand in happiness.
"His name is shashwat? And why are you excited all of sudden?" I asked confused by her reaction.
"Arre he is Arushi's brother " Richa said while i looked at Arushi in shock.
"Really? Is he your brother?! I mean seriously?? I can't believe this" I shouted gaining everyone's attention towards me. I composed myself and looked down awkwardly.
"So tell me more about him." I said to Arushi and she started telling me about her brother.
"Shashwat bhaiya is introvert and very calm in nature.
.He never shouts on anyone until they cross their limits.
He is topper of our school and he is also best in other extra curricular activities .
Wo na pichle 5 saal se science Olympiad me hamare school ko first prize dila rahe hain.
And almost all teachers like him. He is also a true gentleman.
. you know most of the girls are dying for him but he never give a glance to them.
My all friends has crush on him except Richa.
.but wo sab ko behen ke nazar se dekhte hain"
I was listening to her all lost but after listening her last word my head snapped at her.
"Kyaaa?? Behen?? Ham tumko nhi jante.. Kon tum? Ham tumhare friend nhi hain..ham chalte hain" I take my bag and stand from seat.
"Yaar why are you saying like this?" Arushi said looking at me .
Before i could say anything my eyes fell on him who was talking to a girl standing outside our class.
"Who is she? And why your brother is talking to her? You were telling me that he doesn't talk with girls" I said looking at them .
"Arre when i said that he doesn't talk with girls.
.He just maintain distance with them . And She is Kanak .
They both are volunteer so that's why they became friends and moreover she is daughter of Dad's best friend .
Our family is very close to her and almost everyone in my family knows her as she attends our family functions.
And you know everyone likes her in my family " She said putting extra chillies at my burning heart.
" Ok ok..stop it now!! Ab kya jal ke raakh ban ke udd jayenge tab rukogi! " i said glaring at her. "Tell me does your brother have feelings for her?"
"I don't think so..Bhaiya never tell us what is in his heart.
.He always write all the things in his diary.
.so no one can understand what he is thinking.
But don't worry i don't think he loves her.
I don't even like this girl and Darsh also don't like her plus his best friend also doesn't like her.
Pata nhi khud ko kya samajhti hai..she acts like she owns this class after becoming house captain.
Teacher's pet!!" Arushi made faceslooking at her .
"Ooohh..But who is that one and why is he showing his all teeth to us?" I asked looking at a boy standing beside Shashwat who was grinning looking at our direction.
"He is a jerk Siya.. ignore him" Richa said glaring at the boy.
"He is Akash Bhaiya.. actually he like Richa ..I always advise her to accept his proposal..He is so in love with her but she isn't ready to accept..poor akash bhaiya. She always talk rudely with him. " Arushi said looking at Richa who just rolled her eyes.
"Siya is there any rule that i should love him back if he loves me? "
Richa asked looking at me and i nodded my head still looking at Shashwat and that girl.
"Whatever!! Siya come I will introduce you to him" Arushi said with a grin.
"Pagal hai kya? Hatt!! Hame ajeeb lagta hai" I said looking down shyly making them slap their forehead. Before they could say something we saw Teacher entered inside the class and everyone takes their seats.
