CHAPTER-1 A NEW DAWN
" The past is but the beginning of a beginning and all that has been or is but the twilight of the dawn. " H.G Wells- The discovery of future.
" And the song refers to Romeo and Juliet cuz they are the most talked about and epicly romantic lovers that could not become one in the past according to English Literature.. " said Sanyukta.
" And she calls herself a Juliet and her boy friend a Romeo cuz regardless of what happened in the end, their love was pure. The passion they shared was incomparable and anybody would love to experience and drown themselves in something like that. " and now Sanyuktha finally took a breath after opining about Taylor Swift's latest hit Love Story.
" Arrey wah Sanyu! You just explained it so well.. I felt like listening to you till milleniums passed by! " said Priya clapping her hands.
" But i have a question. Lets get general now. I agree you were awesome with your opinion about the song but Sanyukta, I donot intend to point out or prove something but just out of curiosity, you sound very experienced so.. " said Neha sounding like a crime investigator.
" I read literature and novels especially the romantic ones. " said Sanyukta in a cold tone.
" Yeah yeah obviously guys! She always keeps reading. No wonder she is friends with romance and love cuz of books! What? You expect her to have a love story now? I've had enough heart attacks for today! " said another girl in the gang.
" I didnt know that this opinion game would turn out be so much fun! So Sanyukta do you really have a love story else were you the same book worm in the past? " smirked Neha mentally dancing for starting this game.
" Oh she? No no no! No way!!! " said a girl.
" Are you cucking frazy Neha?? " said the other.
" You must be kidding us! " continued the others.
" Stop it guys! Everybody has there own life and interests. Nobody has a right to contradict or mock at them! And why do you people sound like a boy friend and love story is a compulsion? Sanyu need not.. " stopped Priya as she heard some one interrupt her.
" I do have a love story." said Sanyukta in an impulse.
That 'O' was visible on every one's face. They looked like a hollywood hunk just landed across their faces. Silence prevailing. Each one took their own time to come out of the appalling statement they just heard.
" What? Sanyuktha Agarwal topper of DAV College is telling us that she has a love story! Did I hear it right? " said Neha still in the shock.
" Sanyu, you neva told me that you have a love story! " said Priya with a visible disappointment on her face.
" He is my past Priya. " said Sanyukta with a bewildered expression.
" Now as you have spilled the beans, lets spill everything you are left with! So tell us more, infact everything about your love story now! " said Ritu fully demanding and excited.
" Girls, we have to study you know.. we have our boards and engineering entrances lined up and wasting time is not a good option. " said Sanyukta in her usual granny mode.
" Arrey yaar Priya! What a bestie you have yaar! After so many days we got a free period and this Sanyukta is bent upon ruining it too! Just convince her to talk na please! " said a group of voices.
" Haan Sanyu, you really hafta continue. Tell us who that lucky guy is and what is his name? " said Priya anxiously.
" Ah.. Um.. Woh.. His name is Randhir Singh Shekawat.. " said Sanyukta trying to mask her apprehension with cheerfulness.
-----------------------------------
The breeze was gentle but it still managed to misplace her hair strands swinging in every direction and pushing them apart even after her constant trials of tucking those strands behind her ears. She kept gazing at the window looking at the greenary flicker. It suddenly turns bright yellow and then it is gone just like the different things going on in her mind. As she sat there glued to her desk in The DAV College she found her self deciding about something for the first time. She could take it back as she already started it. Watch her and she will look like she is keenly thinking about something which she loves more than life. Her eyelids brought her back into the reality as she realised that Priya had been nudging her for the past 10 minutes. She heard the whole class roar for her atention and she was still lost. Lost in something she never searched for. Lost in something that was pseudo. She was apprehensive and that sounds acceptable. But why is she cheerful now? Was it only a mask or is the DAWN of something new? The hour hand was on 12 for the past half-an-hour and minutes hand just touched 30. The bell rung deafening every body's ears calling it off for an after noon meal.
" We still have time till the Ma'm officially comes and announces for day-scholar boxes and hostel meals don't we? So Sanyukta continue! " said Neha.
" I was in my mid 8th and Randhir just joined school. He was an NRI apparently. One of my friends came and said that a hottie took admission in DPS and that he is gonna arrive on the third floor in another 7 minutes. All of took our places as Miss. Singhania, our class teacher entered the class room with that so called hottie." said Sanyukta in a flow.
" Tho chori ne seeda NRI ko hee pata liya! Tu jitni boli dikhthi hain utni hain nahi Agarwal! " said Ritu.
Sanyukta gave her a 'whatever' look covered with her no-thankyou smile and continued.
(some sentences may be 3-4 will be in the 1st person for creating a comort level hope you get it.)
" So girls and boys, this is Randhir Singh Shekawat, UK return to continue his high school studies in the prestigious DPS. Please welcome him with warm wishes " said Miss. Singhania.
" We always had the rule of our teachers choosing our bench-mates so Miss. Singhania chose me as Randhir's bench-mate and replaced mine with another cuz she thought i would be helpful for him to cover up his syllabus and notes on time." said Sanyukta sending a proud vibe all the way.
" Sanyukta Agarwal, this is Randhir Singh Shekawat. Hope you help him out in all the aspects. And Randhir, this is Sanyukta Agarwal one of the most intelligent and topper of the class. Get along well and aproach me with no hesitations " ended Miss. Singhania as she left.
" Hii Randhir, I am.." said Sanyukta.
" I know and i've heard your stupid name enough. Now get in as i prefer sitting to the corner." said Randhir.
" Oh man! What arrogance " said Priya.
" Day scholars get to the floor 1 and Hostel students climb up to floor 4. " said the floor incharge.
" Sounds interesting! Will get back to you asap Sanyukta. Come on lets disperse for lunch." said Neha.
All of them got up and walked in their respectve ways.
" I am still in a shock Sanyu! You look so poised and composed for a full-on-entertaining love story! Don't get me wrong though.. " said Priya.
" I know what you mean Priya. It is just a self control thingy. Lets go " said Sanyukta as they walked hand-in-hand to the 1st floor.
So how was it? Did it reach your expectations?? Please do review and compliments and comments are heartfully welcomed.
