As the sun rises from the east, a girl in sitting comfortably in a plane wakes up. She had been sleeping peacefully for the past 6 hours until the sun had interrupted her slumber. She rubbed her eyes and yawned as the air hostess bought her breakfast and greeted her good morning with a smile. Of course she smiled reciprocated her greet, she may be sitting in first class and may just be the daughter of one of the biggest, wealthiest and most well known business tycoon but she still had the mannerisms to do so. She wasn't one of those people who would feel proud of themselves and only had their identity as their father's daughter and neither was she spoiled. She had always wanted to make an identity of her own hence she had been staying in London all this time. She had gotten grade 9s (A**) in her GCSEs and had been studying in Oxford University and was just about graduate from there when she decided to continue the rest of her studies in India. She was a bright student, no doubt about that. 

As she started to eat, she smacked her forehead indicating that she had forgot something. "Oh God Swara! How could you forget?! I needed to inform Prerna what time she needs to pick me up! She doesn't know when I'm landing!" Swara murmured to herself and started to dig out her phone and called Prerna. she waited a few seconds before Prerna picked up.

"Hi Swara! How are you? How's it going? Have you landed yet?" Prerna asked eagerly waiting for her arrival. She was going to meet her after 2 years and couldn't control her happiness. They had been friends since childhood as their parents were business partners and friends themselves. 

"Hi! Yeah I'm good and no I haven't landed yet but they said the plane is going to land in 2 hours so not long then." Swara replied calming her down.

"Oh alright then. I'll leave in 20 minutes and I'll reach there before you land. See you soon!" Prerna said and Swara replied the same before she ended the call and continued eating again whilst putting on her headphones and listening to music to pass her time as the journey of 2 hours was going to be a long one for her as she eagerly waited for the plane to land.

After waiting for 2 hours, the plane finally landed and Swara smelt the fresh air as she looked for Prerna. When she caught her sight, Swara waved to her and walked towards her whilst Prerna ran and hugged her. Swara too hugged her back.

"I can't believe you're actually here! It's been so long! I mean yeah we called and all but it's so good to meet you once again!" Prerna exclaimed contentedly, hugging Swara so hard she almost choked. 

"It's would be nice meeting you too if you weren't choking me" Swara replied as Prerna immediately backed off and apologised. Prerna was taking her to the car park when Swara bumped into someone. "Ouch!" Swara dropped her handbag as she bumped into a the person. She then looked at her right and saw a man who appeared to be gazing at her whilst she looked at him confused. 

"Sorry I didn't mean to." The man apologised and picked up her handbag before giving it back to her.

"It's fine, thank you" She replied to him with a smile and left from there with Prerna. "By the way Prerna, you didn't tell anyone that I'm coming right?" 

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone. I know you want it to be a surprise for your parents." Prerna replied and Swara breathed a sigh of relief as they got into the car and drove off to Gadodia Mansion. 

Swara smiled widely seeing her house after so many years. She was wondering throughout the whole drive as to how her family would react upon seeing her in front of them after ages. Prerna left for University as she was getting late, right after bidding bye to Swara. She excitedly walked through the door and saw everyone on the dining table eating their breakfast. She slowly crept behind her dad and hugged him. His stern face changed into a happy one as she hugged him. The rest of the family members exclaimed in happiness as they saw Swara and immediately went to hug her.

"Swara!" Her mother Shamishta exclaimed."When did you come? Why didn't you tell us?" She cupped Swara's face in her hands after hugging her tightly.

"Oh come on Mom. If I told you then I wouldn't be able to see your surprised happy face now would I?" Swara replied with a wide smile. "By the way where is Ragini?" 

"Oh she went to her University about 10 minutes ago." Shamishta replied whilst seating Swara on a chair and serving her food. 

"Mom please I'm not hungry. I just had breakfast in the plane." Swara said rapidly. 

"Swara you decided to come all of a sudden? Did you complete your graduation?" Her father Shekhar asked whilst sipping on a mug of black coffee. 

"Actually Dad, I still had a year left but I decided to continue here. I was missing you all  and there isn't much of a difference between India's Universities and England's so I thought to continue here." Swara replied confidently as she knew her dad hated hesitation and fear. 

"That's fine just as long as you promise me that you will focus just as hard over here." Shekhar said with a sharp but soft tone as Swara nodded her head in agreement. 

"Mom, Dad. I'll go change and then I'll go to Ragini's University. I need to submit my admission form as soon as possible and that way I'll be able to surprise her too." Swara said whilst walking upstairs to her room carrying her suitcase . She looked around her room and saw that a lot of things had changed. The last time she saw her room was when she was 9 and now she was 20. Her room wasn't the one she left behind which had teddy bears all over and toys scattered around with baby pink painted walls and a bed with a glittery pink canopy. It now has white painted walls with a white wardrobe and a plain white bed and clearly no sort of decoration anywhere. It felt as if she just moved into this house. 

After looking around her room for a while, she decided to fresh up and change into new clothes as she had been wearing it since yesterday. After changing into new clothes she drove off to the University with excitement to see Ragini. When she arrived, she went straight to the Principal's office to submit her admission form and after doing so she saw Ragini and Prerna. They backs were towards Swara so she crept from the back and scared them both. Ragini saw Swara and was about to hug her but instead slapped her on her shoulder.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Swara asked Ragini to which she gave her a glare.

"You deserved it for scaring me!" Ragini replied but Swara pulled her into a tight hug. Ragini too hugged her back before they started talking nonstop whilst walking. Suddenly, Swara bumped into somebody and the man dropped his phone.

"I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" Swara said immediately as she started to pick his phone up. She looked up towards him. "Have I seen you somewhere before?" She asked as she thought that she recognised the face. But before she could get an answer, the man's friend dragged him away into a classroom leaving Swara confused.  

"Swara what happened?" Ragini questioned seeing Swara's expression. When Swara didn't answer, Ragini looked at Prerna perplexed and Prerna did the same. She snapped her fingers in front of her face to catch her attention. "Swara?" Ragini asked again. "What are you looking at?"

"I think I saw him somewhere before. Oh well." Swara replied. Just as she was about to walk she noticed that the man's phone was still in her hand and realised that he forgot to take it in a hurry. She decided to give it to him the next time they meet as they were in the same University and chances were that they would meet again.
