ADITI'S POV:

"Best view comes after the hardest climb"

Now I do believe it. The two years of hard work have paid off. The best scene in my entire lifetime. There stood the majesty, University of Bangalore. You could picture it as I say, the oldest of buildings from British rule, lights perfectly placed to show off the curves of the walls. Eerie nights. And the veins spreading over an old part of the building, like slow, slow cancer. Darkness rules the reign just after the sunset, unlike Hyderabad.

The oldest of professors daily routine to go on walks. Dark green themed posters, just matching with the deepest of trees. Wind just enough to make you fall for it, with Rain drizzling then and there. I would like to describe it as Magical.

I described my university like my entire life depended on it. But, it's been only three days since I arrived here and I was yet to hawk my entire school and who bothered as I had my whole college life to enjoy.

I had been arranging my cupboard since morning and I was very sad to know that it was evening and I was far from done. That's when I wondered if I even had this much clothes to wear.

I opened the suitcase which had all my certificates and stuff. I remembered that I also had my photos from school. As if it was my first time looking at it, I searched  for it. There it was, my overboarding unforgettable memories.

The first photo was of me and dad. It was the day when I got my first mottai. My mom had me sitting on her lap and I was off from crying all day. The man who just chopped off my cute hair and turned me baldy was smiling proudly as if he was the one who painted Mona Lisa.

Dad was looking at me. Not just looking, but adoring. He was all smiles and I was afraid his smile may extend and fall. He had this look that said I am going to take care of my little girl very well. She is going to be Wonder Woman. He always told that to mom.

I couldn't dare to build up all the newfound confidence I gained just after coming here. So I turned to the next photo.

Aryan, Anu, and Aditi. We were looking at an ice-cream, it was as if we were fighting for a single ice cream. But it was the total opposite. We were deciding to give the ice cream to three different people. One ice cream to three different people.

I could clearly remember who I was wishing to give the ice cream to, Shaktimaan. I know, I know. But I loved him too much at those times. Anu wanted to give it to Arjun as he carried her from school to home when she got injured. She was such a kind girl even from those days. And Arjun was demanding that Anu should take it as she was the weakest of the three then.

And at last, Babloo ended up eating the Ice cream. And that's when Anu started to hate my brother. He said we were annoying him with the beautiful sight of ice cream and he couldn't control himself.

I laughed at how silly things were back then. We would cry at silly things like losing an eraser, peeing in pants, seeing a cockroach, etcetera.

As if she had been watching me, I got a call from Anu.

"Baby shark too do too do too baby shark to do to du du baby shark," Anu's voice was just like a newborn hyena's voice. ( If it had one.)

"What up?" I asked switching my phone from right to left ear. I took the wall hanging I made from two weeks ago. It was snappy yet it contained every important person in my life. The crumbled effect I decided to give seemed to be the best option.

"CAMPUS IS FRIGGING AWESOME! THIS IS GOING TO BE MY PERMANENT ADDRESS HEREAFTER. I'M NEVER MEETING YOU AGAIN. BYE BYE," Anu hung up the call soon after the many Hufflepuff she made to symbolize that I didn't  care.

I stuffed my phone back in my pants and took the Paper wall hanging and looked at it.

It had nineteen entities. The nineteen best moments of my life.

•The rose pinky fingers of little Aditi with her parents.
•Little Aditi's first birthday with her dog Burfi.
•Unforgettable memory of three year old Aditi's trip to Andaman, with dolphins.
•Preschool Graduation where she eats up a whole Chicken wing in one go. Little Aditi's Grandma looked at her as if she was an Alien.
•Little Aditi and her dog Burfi in the streets of Hyderabad.
•The great meet-up of the trio. Us. The triple A's. We actually met at a dog fair. (Yes but that's for another time!)
And more.

I quickly wiped the tears away from me after seeing dad for the last time. I also saw the picture I added a few weeks ago. It was Ved, Vi and me. Right after we ate dinner.

I couldn't bear to erase them from my mind. They have been the best part of my life even though it lasted for only a few months. I'd always cherish his smiles and laughs. I realized I fell in love with the way he smiled. I hit deep core love in the way he eats.

Argh. My stomach. It has been gurgling all day. Because, I may not have eaten anything in the afternoon. Stupidity.

I put on my overalls and tied up my shoe lace and applied gel to my hair cause it was a windy day too.

Made my way through various staircases and finally was able to enjoy my freedom. I also had to grab this hair gel thing cause my stupidity of a friend applied a hell load of it before going. I know.

I decided to eat first cause I was sure my stomach's band show would have been heard by many.

I devoured a whole plate of spaghetti and looked at the ceiling as if I just became the world's richest bitch. Trust me, you do not want your stomach to shit you. I then ate two ice creams and paid the bill.

My car happened to be taking a rest because I wasn't able to start it. Then That day being Sunday, shops won't be open for long so I left my car there and took a bus to the super Mart.

I prohibited myself from entering the snack section cause only mom knew what happened after. And I cannot afford that one right now. But Murukku is so hard to resist! Ah!

I went directly to the perfume section and searched for the gel. Man, that was nowhere to be found!

"It's under the third row," I turned to see Vedant with a sweater and joggers. He was listening to music and pushed his groceries.

I was becoming delusional day by day. The partition from Ved and Vi was killing me, that I started seeing and hearing things, especially his voice and his figurine.

"Thankyou," I said and bent down to take that thing. Son of a bitch! It was hiding from me! And wait, did I thank an imaginary person? Shit.

"How'd you know what I use?" The curiosity killed the cat, and I am the cat here. A delusional cat.

"The sme-" He was cool starting. "Nevermind, what are you doing here?"

Man! Smell? Kinda seemed like a perv. Dreamy vedant was a pervert?

"I go to Bangalore University." I declared and took the damn thing. "What about you?" I looked at the newfound eyes, black, piercing yet warming. The twinkle in his eyes reminded me that he wasn't imaginary. He was real. He was every bit of reality.

The surrounding became too hot for me to handle and all of a sudden the raven haired boy started to nibble his lower lips.

Suddenly, he wasn't nervous but he seemed like he was taking in. The muscles of his face twirled and if only you could see the way he smiled, you'd get me. It was heavenly and I was delusional.

"Really? Me too!" I have never seen Vedant this excited. He really was excited. Little did he know I wasn't able to contain my excitement either. I mean out of all colleges, he is here in my college. Thats fucking huge! I was drowned in the fantasy of me and vedant that I forgot he was just beside me, expecting for my reaction.

“WHAT?” That was all I was able to make. Vedant is gonna be with me for the next five friggin years and I still couldn't believe it!

“It's going to be so fun right?” he was talking with me but I was in the world of  romance and I couldn't possibly respond to him.

“If you don't mind me asking, you and Vi aren't talking that much these days.. The whole past month in fact! Is there anything wrong between you two?” vedant was staring at me in a wholesome way that I could just melt away in his gaze right then.

“Sorry, what were you saying?” dumb ways to die.

“Oh its nothing,”

VEDANT VELAN!!
