Chapter-2

Manik's POV

Flow of love...

Days passed. I had stopped being Romeo in college since I met Nandini.

It was the time of Submissions. As usual I had not completed any of my assignments. I was never good with studies. I was searching for assignments with my friends.

But opposite to me she was very serious in her studies. She was all set with her assignments. But I was not very comfortable talking to her. None of my friend too were comfortable and I too not allow them too because they were knowing about my crush. Luck has very important role to play in our lives. It is very essential for us to get it by our side. Sometimes it can be sometime not. But at that stage it was.

One of my classmate who was once close to me became friend with her. She introduced me to her. But she, I am damn sure, was not interested at all being friend with me. I ask for the assignments to her. But she was stubborn and having high attitude and why not? Why should she give her assignments to a duffer lazy guy like me? By the way she was topper of her school time I came to know of it later.

By the time we started being friends. We started enjoying in college canteen. Started spending time there sitting there. But still she had that attitude. I know she had soft corner for love in her heart behind that hard attitude. So I didn't gave up. I asked her again about assignments. But this time she agreed to give it to me and told me not to let copy others from the same.

At that time I feel like I got what I wanted. But we boys do have friends that won't allow us to be lucky so easily. My friends asked me for her assignments. And as I used to take from them all the time I could not deny them. So I allowed them to copy from it.

The time came when we had to submit our assignments. We headed towards Madam's office to submit it. She was smiling at me but I was feeling like cheater as she told me not to allow my friends to copy the same and still I allowed them to copy. The submissions started on time. Her number was ahead of me. So I was not so much worried about it. Her marks would not get affected because of us. She was done with her assignments. Now it was my turn. I went into madam's cabin. As soon as I showed them my assignments she after having glance on it told me that I had copied it from the girl that was ahead of me.

I first time was standing so silently in front of any professor. Before that day I was never heard anything from any professors. I was like King but that time I don't know what happened me to be so calm. I was feeling guilty spoiling her image in front of other teachers. But she was not aware of it. After that incident I and all my friends were suspended for a week.

I was sitting depressed in college canteen when she came. She came to me and asked me what happened. I told her the whole story. I thought we would not be good friends after hearing that incident but she was not like the rest of the world. She hold my hand and told me,"You know Manik why it happened because you broke my trust. I trusted you and gave you my assignments. But you allowed your friends to copy it. I am not at all upset with you. And I don't care about marks too. But I was knowing about what is going to happened by this. That is why I told you not to give it to your friends. We are friends and will be for rest of the life. Because I am that kind of girl who doesn't brake relations so easily".

It was I think the most important day of life. Though she told me that we will be friends I was happy. I had never before been as I was at that time. It feel like I was flying without wings.I started understanding the value of studies. Value of money. Value of seriousness. Value of being a friend. Value of trust and value of life at last. It was just the beginning of our lovely and beautiful story. I still when think of this incident today I smile with tears in eyes. She came in my life and her entry taught me so much things which I never thought would learn without her.

After a week I returned back to college. That week I don't know how I spent . After knowing her I was very keen to know about her to learn more from her. I don't know was she having the same eagerness to meet me. But I am at least confident that she learnt to smile and became living because of me. She was sitting at the same place where we used to 7 days before.

She knew that I suspension was going to get over on the same day. I was like a guy who talks to himself so much. I started talking to myself. I thought "Was she waiting for me or what? Did she missed me same as I did to her?" I was going towards her with thoughts in mind. She shouted happily but I was too deep in my thoughts that I didn't heard her. She called me again happily and eagerly to talk to me. After some moments I realized and ran to her.

Don't know I ran to her and suddenly hugged her. She too did not offended that day. It was the time which I was going cheer up for the rest of my life. We were happy. Days passed by we started being closer by each passing day. It was nice being with her all the day in college. I became a regular student. I started being at college on time started attending all the lectures. You know with her I think I got many things in life. The aim to get her took me to the way I am today.

Love has strength to make you do anything for it. But I don't know it was true one or not but I started being hers. I still remember the way we used to sit in classroom. She used to sit in the bench front of mine. It was joy sometimes to make her smile by passing funny comments on teacher. I used to enjoy her company. Though as a friend we started our story just the way it should start.

Writer's POV

At first we came up with Manik's character like stud guy with high attitude. But I found in later part from this chapter and after meeting him-A guy with a golden heart. He is a very kind guy. He seems to help everyone. He is the real hero of this story. Every girl want this type of guy. A lucky charm I must say. And college life .Yes .Who does not like their college life. Everyone has memory of college life. And this couple has made a story out of it.

And we will continue this later...

Lots of Love
