A sharp alarm woke me up. 6AM....the first day of our college... All these thoughts excited me. I went downstairs and saw everyone except Anjali relishing their delicious morning coffee. I too joined them and soon learnt that she was still asleep. "Why don't you wake her up?" I asked them. "She will become super cranky.... She'll wake up herself. " said Swathi whose eyes still looked sleep deprived. A few minutes, as I heard faint footsteps, I looked up to see her, still stretching her limbs, with closed eyes climbing down the staircase. All I was able to do was smile that idiotic smile looking at her super cute morning face. As ghee to fire, her little exposed waist made almost made me drool.... I know.... I was a complete idiot.

She wobbled as she came down, still rubbing her eyes. Before I could realise anything, I felt her warm arms around my neck! She slept like a baby on my shoulder. I went blank. I didn't know whether to hug her back or look back at my laughing friends.... Nandini came near, carrying a matured smile, as she caressed Anjali's hair.... "Darling...." She whispered.... "I'm here..." . Anjali lethargically lifted her head, saw me and still in half shut eyes, whispered a 'sorry'. The next moment, she hugged Nandini, the same way she hugged me and slept on her shoulders. I went to Adi to ask what was all this about. "She's like a little baby when she wakes up. Either Nandu or Swathi SHOULD be next to her for her to complete her sleep. Else this is what happens..." I smiled... He winked.... There was a confused conversation in mind whenever he winked at me.... I had to ask him personally....

I ran from one room to another.... All the bathrooms were occupied.... I wanted to take bath as this moring, while parking my bike, I accidentally slipped on a puddle of mud and as a result, had completely dirtied myself.... To my relief, Sharat came out and when I was about to rush in, he politely said, "Swathi has already gone... Anjali went a while back and she will have finished her bath by now... Go there..."

As soon as I heard her name, I felt a shiver all over my body... It was the first time I experienced it... Strange... I was really going crazy about her now...

I went to her room and found the bathroom door locked from in... Maybe she was still inside. I sat on her bed waiting. After a while, I heard a creak and without thinking, went close to the door. Co incidentally, she came from inside and yes.... We hit each other with a BANGGG!!! She slipped and held my shirt for grip. I too lost my balance and slipped with my hand tightly gripped on her waist. Only after we fell on the bed and I looked at her did I realise that she still wore her bathrobe!
