                                                           The most awaited phone call:

Shanaya woke up with a jolt realizing she has to go to college today and it's her first day and forgot that her little vacation is done. She saw the time and it is almost 7.45 am and her college starts around 9 am. It takes approximately an hour to reach her college because it is 22 kilometers away from her home. As she is not registered in the college yet or went to the orientation she has to travel by her means of transportation(maybe by public transport) until she gets her college Identity card. She planned on going on a college bus by showing the fee payment receipts which she paid online. She glanced at the clock again and realized she has only ten more minutes to get ready she quickly rushed to shower. She took a shower and came out, putting on an orange color salwar kameez. She had a quick breakfast and packed her lunch and put it in the bag. She quickly went to desktop to print copies of her payment receipts. As soon as she opened the web browser she realized she forgot to logout of her account and the messages from Aakash are displayed. She quickly went to the last few messages and she saw a number. She quickly took note of a number in a piece of paper and logged out. Next, she took printouts of her payment receipts and looked at the clock it was already 8 am. She wore her favorite white sandals and asked her dad to drop her at the bus stop where she can catch her college bus. As soon as they breached there the bus just left the stop and thinking quickly she asked her dad for some money to take an autorickshaw to reach a college directly without stopping on the way. Her dad spoke to the autorickshaw guy and paid him and gave the address of her college and took the picture of the driver as well as the license plate and left.

Shanaya reached her college in an hour and she was amazed by the college environment. Soon her face fell when she got to know that's the co-ed college (BITS) and her all-girls' college(BITSW) is just a building in the same college compound after walking 2km inside the same campus. She walked inside and found out she needs to take permission from the director of the college to enter the class as she is ten days late for registration. Shanaya got to know that the administration office and other student facilities' offices are the same for both co-ed and all-girls colleges. The only difference is the building which they study. Sighing on the newfound information about her college she sat in the front office waiting to take permission from the director of the college. They made her wait for half a day. Suddenly a guy named Chandu approached her and asked "Do you know how to write a leave letter?" She replied with a yes. Then Chandu asked her to write a leave letter that he is suffering from a stomach ache so he couldn't attend the college for the past two days. She wrote it and asked him to sign it. He said thanks and left. Shanaya released the breath she doesn't know she was holding. She thought Chandu will rag her as she is a fresher and he is her senior (News Flash: Shanaya doesn't have any seniors because her college is the new affiliated college and they are 1st batch). Nothing as such happened and thought what an eventful day. After a few minutes, the director asked her to come in and gave her a letter so she can go and attend classes. She went to classes from the afternoon and at 4 pm the college came to an end. She made some new friends and Bindu is in the same college as she and shanaya felt happy to meet Bindu. They shared the same bench and they went to the college bus Id card registration area and she got to know she is on the same bus as Bindu and she got to know about college from Bindu.

While they were sitting in their seats on the bus there are no senior students of BITS in it to rag the freshers so they were happy. Shanaya thoughts suddenly went to Aakash and she thought of sharing it with Bindu because he is a mutual friend of them both. Bindu was happy for her and said he was a nice guy. After that Bindu has to get down as the bus stop to her house is reached. Bindu waved shanaya bye and went away. The thought's of Aakash is still lingering in her head, she thought of calling him through public telephone as she doesn't have a mobile phone. As soon as she reached her stop she got down and has to cross a flyover to reach her home. On the way, she saw a public telephone ☏  and took the paper out on which she wrote Aakash's number and dialed.

Aakash was busy in his internship and there is a lot of work going on in the project. There was some error and he was not able to solve it. He was trying to debug it from the morning and finally got solved. Here and there in between work, he is checking his phone for any calls but except customer care, no one called. He was disappointed and finally when his work is done around 5 pm he received a call from some unknown number. He thought it may be shanaya and lifted the call.

CONVERSATION:

Shanaya: Hello

Aakash: Hi

Shanaya: Aakash? hey, this is shanaya. How are you?

Aakash: I am fine. How about you?

Shanaya: I am good too. 

Aakash: So, how was your day?

Shanaya: Busy day but got over it. How was yours?

Aakash: It was okay. I thought you will call me soon but you took your sweet time? hahaha

Shanaya: I am sorry. I went to college and just returned and I am on the way home.

Aakash: Hey don't worry I was just kidding. Can I get your mobile number so I can call you back?

Shanaya: Umm.. sorry I don't have a mobile yet. Can we chat online then I can explain because it is getting late, my parents will be worried? Talk to you later bye. 

with that, the phone conversation ended but both of them are not satisfied with it. They want to talk about many things about their feelings but couldn't. Thinking of Aakash, shanaya reached home got fresh, and spend some time with the family told them about her college and what happened and had some refreshments. After dinner, she sat in front of the desktop 💻 and started chatting with Aakash and she spoke to him about the call and why is it so quick and explained to him that her family is strict and she should be home by 5 pm. Aakash asked her does her friend carry mobile to college? for which shanaya replied with a yes and then Aakash told her to call from any number and he will call her back. With that, excitement surrounded shanaya and thought maybe she can ask Bindu for her mobile and talk to Aakash in college that way her family will not know about him and she can have a friend to share everything. With that, she said bye to Aakash and went straight to bed to sleep smiling herself. Even Aakash was tired and with the thought of shanaya talking to him a smile came to his face and remembering her sweet voice that he always wanted to hear erupted some unknown feeling inside him and without knowing where he was Aakash just closed his eyes and slept on the couch.
