Just now I landed in Mumbai, the place where I can experience  my Mom's feelings.
I went near taxi person.

R " can u take me to XYZ business academy?? "
That taxi driver nodded his head.

The name , itself gives chill to me, the famous businessmen who all r presently running the business today most of them have studied here only.

Taxi driver  " Madam, r u going to join there?? "

I looked at the person, he was nearly my grandfather's age.

R " Ha dadu, today I am going to hostel and tomorrow the college starts"

That driver was surprised as I mentioned him as dadu ,my mom always told me to respect others and later he felt happy and continued --

TD " Good, beta it's famous college in India, ppl will say that whosoever get graduated from there will surely become successful, and even this college also haven't changed its rules, they r following old methods along with new technologies, that's y it has still holded it's prestige. "

He told the same thing which my Mom had already mentioned in diary. My mom had left each and every small detail in this diary. I love u mom.

I got down and gave him amount.

D " Beta it's early morning, and u r my first customer, I didn't..."
He was little hesitated to tell, but I came to know what he was up-to...

R  " it's OK dadu, u can keep remaining amount with u only
(he was about to decline but I continued) ,I didn't call u randomly as dadu, I mean it when I address others
👋 dadu... "

TD " Feel free to ask any help from me beta, I think u r new here and  take my card, whenever u need any help call me, and all the best for ur future "
He handed over me his card, I took that and kept inside my side bag and gave him my genuine smile and went inside the hostel.

Our hostel was near to college only, in fact in the campus only, so thought to fresh up and have a look around surrounding.

I went in and showed my admission form to the lady, who was the incharge and she handed over the key to me.I took them and left in search of my room. I searched and here I got it,  room number 7. This was the same room my mom spent during her college life , thanks to Aru who managed to get this room for me, he is indeed my best friend, I saw the name plate which had 3 names ,which I read as
Gauri.S
Deepika nayak.
Ragini
Off course last one is mine, the door was already opened, I think my roommates are already present in.So let's get in Ragu.

As I entered a girl hugged me very tightly, as if I will runaway if she leaves me. I chuckled at my thought.
And decided to see that girl's face.

I was expecting her intro and about her act, and she got the hint and started the conversation -

Hii, I am Gauri.
So she is the one whose name I read first in the name plate.

R  " Myself Ragini, ur roommate "

G " Thank god u came "

R " Y, r u feeling any suffocation?? Do u need any help?? " I chuckled

G " obviously  I need ur help,
c that side "she pointed somewhere I looked towards that side and founddddddd.... 👇

Oh god, who brought these things??

" Me "
I looked towards the source and found a girl looking at me sorry sorry glaring both of us, may b these books belongs to her and she found that v both made fun of her.

R  " Hii I am Ragini and if I am not wrong u r Deepika nayak "

She nodded as yes and continued.

D "  Hii Ragini, I should thank god that u came if not I would have become deaf by now or may b something else "

By listening to her way of talking I came to know something happened between them and I asked the reason.
Gauri was about to open her mouth. But----

D " U don't take risk to explain, I will only explain to her shortly. C Ragini, yesterday only v both came and joined hostel and this girl ate my half brain and regarding books,some r novels, some r related to studies ,they were arranged properly only but this girl tried to take a book and did this mess ,and if u ask this same question to her she will take whole day to answer "
Gauri pouted at her statement.
And all I could do is to laugh 😁 hahahahha .....
And both joined me.

I started to arrange my things even they helped me in that.
And I fresh up and came,  they were waiting to start conversation.

D " So u r fresher na?? First year Like us "

R  " No dear, I am fresher that's true. But not first year,I am second year student ... "

G  " What?? How come u r joining in 2nd year, I mean u won't get seat so easily and y second year and not 1st??"

She is indeed a Chatterbox .

"I got seat because my mamu managed. I didn't join in First year because I was busy in launching Janki foundations music and dancing academy, I wanted to settle the projects which I was handling in business and it took a year to convince my mamu to let me join this academy "

These things I wanted to say, but I won't say a single word among these, because no one should come to know my identity, I don't like ppl respecting me because of my status.

D " What happened Ragini?? Did v ask something wrong which was not needed to ask ??"

R " No yaar, I just remembered something, ha to ur question ,
I got seat this year only that to under scholarship "

I looked at them ,both were so innocent and I felt some connection, all I could say is till yesterday, only Aru, mamu and Kushi were my world, I think all my life's equations are going to change.

G " What about ur parents?? "

R  " I am an orphan " I told them as I decided earlier itself.
Actually their questions are worthy because, from next I will b often listening to the same questions.

Both came near to me and told me from now on they both will b my parents.
I just gave them my beautiful smile.
And both hugged me.

All I could say that they are gems.
Our jodi will b perfect.
One , is chatter box another, very silent and me mixture of both.

And my thought got broken down by ---

G  " Ragu that means u r our senior. Hey that will b superb.... "

D " u will teach us if v get any doubts right?? "

G " u will never change , bookworm "

D " Hey I am not bookworm OK?"

G " I know "

And I thought to enter the scene before they create another mess.

R" Girls y not let's have a look around the campus."
