"Om Ram, Sri Ram, Jaya Ram, Jaya Jaya Ram, Sita Ram" I kept on repeating the chant again and again as the number in the system was decreasing one by one.

Finally when the number became zero and my college, degree selection was highlighted in green, I sighed in relief.

"Thank you Anjaneya! I owe you a lot!" I sent my thanks to my favorite god and wiped the happy tears that were flowing.

Soon I completed the procedures for College and degree selection.

Once I came out out the counseling building I saw my dad waiting for me and my mom.

He waved at us and asked me to go to health check-up center as it was the last procedure for counseling.

When we reached the health center my dad gave me the form and asked me to go in. He gave a worried look but I didn't consider it seriously as I was excited for getting the seat in Anna University.

How many struggles to get seat in biotechnology!

I walked into the building which looked like a haunted house.

I brushed that thought and went in. Who would have thought that I will be crying when I come out?

In first section I saw some students wearing white coat taking vital signs such as height, weight and blood pressure.

Maybe biotechies! Just like me!

After taking those they directed me to first floor. Again with a dreamy look I went up.

Just when I entered I froze.

There were 6 tables and benches. 3 on left and 3 on right. In each table there were one biotechnology student holding a microscopic slide.

Oh nooo. Where is my mummy and my daddy! Why the hell did they abandon me alone in this?

I knew I cannot go back at the same time I cannot take this.

Help me God help me!!!

I prayed and went to the bench where only biotechie was present and no one to take test.

Maybe they won't take blood test. Maybe they will ask some stupid questions and leave me.

I kept my fingers crossed.

"Your form please" I heard the biotechie asking me.

As soon as I gave him, he placed it on the table and checked on some questions.

Maybe that's it. I can walk freely out of this! I grinned at that thought but soon he did something which wiped that grin off my face.

He took a cotton and poured some solution which I knew is ethanol on the cotton.

He held my hand and started to rub my index finger with the cotton.

I started to panic. No no! This cannot be happening.

Tears started to flow from my eyes but I guess he didn't notice it. He was busily throwing the cotton to the nearby dustbin and tearing a cover to get a new pin.

He again took my hand this time I was bit reluctant.

"I... I know... my blood group. I... It... is A... positive. Please don't prick me with... that." I whimpered.

He looked up at me and I looked at him with blurred vision.

"Hey hey don't cry." He tried to calm me down but he didn't leave my hand.

"I know... My blood group." I repeated the same line again.

This time he left my hand and I sighed.

"Okay okay, don't cry, I will not ta..." Before he couldn't complete we heard some voices shouting.

"Adi? What happened?"

"What did you do, Adi?"

"Seems like he pulled a girl's hand!"

"Eve teasing huh?" Then others started to laugh.

Here I am crying and all are laughing.

"Nothing nothing." He said to them and then turned towards me.

"Please don't cry they will tease me that I am pulling your hand. Please please don't cry" He begged.

"Blood test..."

"I will not take it. Okay? First you need to calm down."

I tried to control my sob.

Then I heard a girl's voice. "See that boy is laughing." She showed me a boy, who entered this building along with me. He was laughing like anything and went to next section.

"Don't cry okay. It is small blood test. It won't hurt." She consoled me.

"No no. It will. I never take blood test without my father. He will catch my hand." I explained.

"You can write A positive in the form. That is my blood group." I said.

She looked at the person next to me and nodded.

"I will take her to my place, Adi." She informed and asked me to follow her.

She tried to divert my attention by asking what course I took and all those stuffs.

When she learnt that I took biotechnology she was shocked.

"Ha, you took biotech and you are scared of needle?" She chuckled.

"What will you do in college then?" I heard Adi's voice.

Why would I test my blood in college? Before I could ask him why he asked that, she spoke.

"Don't scare her, Adi"

"Anyways," she looked into my form and called me, "Aaradhana, you see we have to take test. It won't pain at all. Adi will see to it. Okay?"

She spoke as if talking to a child.

You are crying like a child so obviously they will treat you like that only.

My subconscious scolded me.

At the same time I couldn't control tears.

"I want my daddy." I whispered.

"Huh?" Maybe she didn't hear what I said.

"My daddy will catch me whenever I get injection and later he will get ice cream." I said.

"Ahha" she looked at Adi and he nodded his head.

"We will get you orange juice?" He asked.

As if he was bargaining, even though I prefer ice cream, orange juice is also not bad.

I nodded my head.

"Now close your eyes and think of your favorite color." Adi said.

I did as he told, suddenly I felt a needle piercing my skin which caused me immerse pain.

Before I could remove my hand he held my hand tightly and was squeezing my finger to pump more blood.

My poor blood. I should have lied to them that I am anemic, they wouldn't have taken this blood test.

Tears started to pour from eyes. As I was about to cry out loud he was asking me to think of favorite chocolate. Favorite chocolate? Hmmm Amul chocolate, diary milk and then...

"Done. You can open your eyes."

"Here you go." The same girl who consoled me placed ornage juice in front of me.

"Juice is exclusive for doctors in the next section. But we got it for you. So no crying okay." She told.

Before even she could finish I started to drink the juice.

Later, Adi, the boy who made me to cry came in front me and gave me the form.

"You blood group is A positive."

"I said so." I muttered, and took the form him and left to the next section.

Next section was doctor's section where they analysed the check up done so far and let me go out of this haunted house.

*************************

Before you kill me yes I know, first chapter is worst.

Truth to be told, *cringes* this was a real incident. Scene by scene, happened actually. I know a childish behavior. When Bella Swan can faint for blood smell, Aaru can cry for pricking her finger right? Just kidding. Now I don't cry, I think. Okay okay I still cry if I get any injection.

But don't worry upcoming chapter won't be this bad. I was thinking too much, but I didn't get any first meet scenario. So kindly excuse this poor excuse of first chapter. This was needed for upcoming chapter also. 

Disclaimer: This story might look like a first story I have written. No no, I didn't mean like No! I Don't love you!
What I meant was, for an author you might find first story as not that good but gradually they will improve their writing in upcoming books. Like that this book might be silly, childish, as this is first time I am trying to write a love story! Yes, my other books are also love based, but it wasn't purely love based except for Christmas love story. In short this is going to be like Christmas love story but around 5-6 chapter.

Another disclaimer I might remove the book if I re-read in sometime and think what the hell I have written. So before I remove this that read the book.

Regarding Adi, he is purely fictional character. I have never meet Adi in my life. The boy in this chapter is true. A boy only pricked my hand. But I didn't see his face I was busily crying. One thing I know all his friends started to tease him and he was embarrassed like anything. Poor him.
