4. Something that I never had

"Hello, I am the student reporting for first semester of the department of biomedical engineering". Sandhya says to the lady sitting on the desk. The irish lady pushes her glasses from her nose and looks at her and then signals Sandhya to show her acceptance letter.

"Yes we were waiting for you, here is your id proof and dormitory pass with its keys". The lady says and gives Sandhya all of the items. Sandhya takes it and starts dragging her suitcase along the corridor.

The corridor is filled with many students loitering around and chatting among themselves. Some parents are seen hugging their children and lecturing about safety measures. Momentarily Sandhya giggles thinking about her own mother. But soon she misses her. No one to nag her now. God Sandhya now you are even thinking of getting nagged. She thinks.

Finally she finds her dormitory. She turns the knob and pushes the door open. A splash of purplish object dangle in front of her. Sandhya was going to scream but then she notice that it was hair.

A girl most probably, her roomate is dancing in the room with her headphones on.

"What can I say?

Please recognize I'm tryin', babe

I haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt

So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work

When you ah gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn

Me nuh care if him hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting"

The girl continues singing blissfully unaware of Sandhya's arrival. Seeing Sandhya standing beside the door, the girl also opens her headphones and greets her. "Hello new roomie" . The purple haired girl greets Sandhya. "I am Celina Matthews". "I am Sandhya". Sandhya shakes her hands with her roomate.

"Girl, you look new in city. Why don't you settle down your baggage and then I will give you a college tour". Celina says to Sandhya in an irish accent. Sandhya feels awkward seeing Celina's forward nature but it is indeed true, that Sandhya is new to the city.

I think it is better that my roommate is a friendly type of person on whom I may rely on.

"Good morning, Mr. Khan. I hope you had a peaceful flight". The driver says to Aryan as he sits inside the car.

After Aryan left the aircraft, he started to look around for his father's men. His parents have arranged for an apartment in the bird street, which will help him to be close to his university.

Aryan belongs to the high society so living in the campus will compromise with his privacy. As the car starts running, Aryan looks out of the window. A new chapter in is life has officially started today.

He hopes his life in California will be fulfilling. He closes his eyes and leans his head on the window. But all he can hear is Sandhya's beautiful voice reciting the poetry.

Oh Sandhya, what magic have you done on me. Aryan thought.
