I was standing in front of my College in my white dress with a big smile on my face and in my hand have my college I'd card. My best friend Shreyvika Rawat stood beside me clad in her usual dark denim wide jeans and white top over it matching with mine. Mine and her favourite colour is white.
Now some people will say is white even considered as a colour. I could feel myself rolling my eyes from far away even if they don't see. To tell them I considered white as my favourite colour and that's it. That's what matters. My choice my rules.
I liked it. She liked it. And that's what matters. That's what make us best friends.
"Wanna enter or not prishu? " She whined, making me get out of my thoughts.
I looked at her she was whining and looking at the people who was walking away before entering into the college all happily and hand in hand as this is the last day of our college.
I was in luck today I didn't get any more scolding from her for getting late . Cuz she is very puntual and dangerous by the way. And if someone start argue with her then she is making sure she is the one who ends that. Not gonna say her flat chappals or heels have better aims than sneakers and today she is wearing shoes. I gulped in relief as she didn't notice me looking at her . Her attention was on the dance performance which was tomorrow at night as she wants her last day to be best and today is our graduation day, on which I told her to wear something nice and classy but she is still in her wide jeans and top , which is her comfort clothes . I'm not going to make her change by the way, not making her uncomfortable in her own graduation day. So I let her be. She can wear whatever she wants.
"Of course I was just admiring our college. We are leaving this beautiful place , so our memories should capture something so vivid, classy , beyond those years which we have spend these in college , running around these campus, playing, laughing with our people, bickering with students and all chaos wile did in our time, our teachers and everything . I'll miss this shrey I'll miss you " I looked at her pouting, emotionally making her looking at me with same emotional eyes. She pouted and then immediately engulfed me in a hug.
"Aww my baby prishu I'll miss you too, my baby has grown up. She talks emotionally hnn" She teased me as she kissed me on the cheek which I returned as usual . As I was always the one who couldn't get emotionally driven. But sometimes with her , with my people I get comfortable around them . When memories hit hard and the time consumes you and make you realise you don't have much time and you won't even notice when it's passed makes you desperate to show emotion and care which you haven't in those years.
We have spent our four years in this college , a Medical College to be precise , and we are so much attached that leaving hurts and we are already missing so much.We have always dreamed together through years that we are going to be a child pediatrist. Together. And live together. Marr-- well I've not think about marriage yet. We don't have time in our life to think about marriage yet cause from childhood we want to become something first then think what future will hold for us. Our parents supported us and we are grateful for that they think about us, our choice cuz some people didn't even get that.
Now back to us - we have dreamed together of opening our clininc at home . And today is the last day which ends with our internship on the hospital then we will joined together at some hospital at home.
As we entered together hand in hand like we besties do always making shanaya rolled her eyes at us with her cheap friends who was doing chapar chapar like always. Huh.
Now who is shanaya?
Shanaya is the queen bee of our college always begging for attention. I don't even know why she likes so much attention on her always doing something extraordinary to get noticed by people. I roll my eyes at her and shrey makes a scoffing face which got shanaya glared at us. Good. Always jealous of us shanaya. Our ex best friend.
Yes that's what she was. Ex. I remind myself with a bitter smile.
We walked towards our chair and sat down. As the students swarmed inside and sat at their respective seats for wait for the funtion to start.
But when all the teachers , principal our chairman all seated more than 10 minutes. The funtion still didn't started yet. Why?
I frowned and looked around . Are we are waiting for someone?
I moved closer so I could whisper to shrey. " Why is the function still didn't started yet? "
She whispered back to me rolling her eyes in annoyance as looked around " Kya pata yaar mujhe ab jaldi mere certificate chahiye phir ghar jaana hai.. Bhout yaad aa rahi hai papa ki " She pouted at last.
Well I missed my family too. After living alone for years outside makes me homesick, want to run back home and meet my family. Specially my sister who is getting engaged after a week.
I'm so excited for her. Thinking of doing shopping with her , spent some time together . Some sister-sister bonding moment is all what I need with her before her marriage. The excitement makes me all giddy and happy. And somewhere in all this I was sad too that she is going to be someone's wife, someone's fianceè and leave us.
When suddenly principal and chairman stand up looking at the entrance , as on cue we also stand up. Who is coming?
And when I looked back to see who got everyone's attention and I was shocked to see the man I didn't think I could even meet after so many years. I was face to face with the man who just randomly came into my life years ago and disappear after making me falling for him. His sudden glow up and all maturity got me hooked for a while I didn't think he was capable of.
He was dressed in formal black pants and white shirt with a black coat over it. As he walked slowly in front of the stage and shake hands with chairman with a small nod which our chairman sir gretted with a big smile on his face. Is he some celebrity or what that he is getting that big smile by our chairman sir who didn't even smile in all years . I didn't saw him smiling that big for some one who isn't even his wife.
I was shocked that was the understatement as I looked around his men more like bodyguards all around him , making distant with him.
Beside him there was a man who was passing smile to everyone, as he was all social person which is obvious. He is the extrovert which was opposite if what he is now.
I didn't even focused when he sat down with the chairman beside him and I think his friend.
My heart beat increased suddenly making me realised I was fully focused on him. Sweat beads formed around my head, as realisation came that I haven't met him through years. How could I even face him now.
It's so awkward.
Shrey knows about my life before college when I was doing MBBS from different college then I got admission in this for MD Pediatrist degree.
There was a feeling of fear or anxiety or a little hope if he remembers me or not when I missed him.
I was feeling different that how could I face a man who proposed me years ago only to be get rejected by me. And now in front of me siting in all his glory with a stoic expression.
I knew I was doomed.
