It was breezy morning & air was carrying the hint of last night rain. The mighty Sun was rising slowly against rosy clouds casting its glow over dew-laden leaves & grasses. The alarm shrieked 5:30 a.m & Alia jumped from her bed. She bathed & dressed up looking all shiny & hopeful. She came out of her hostel & heard menacing howling behind her. All she saw was three-four dogs threatening her as if she was small stray cat landed in their territory. Somehow she managed to run away, withdrew money from ATM & there she saw him standing near College entrance gate, waiting for her.
Oh Dear!! you are not able to pull-off your first impression & Alia started laughing.
They went to near-by garden of Taramati fortress. There was wide array of flowers & buds blooming ,unfolding it's petals to welcome the sunlight & air was thick with pleasant fragrance. The entwined twigs were whispering as they walked towards sitting area high on rocks.
They started chatting on various random topics. Dhruv told her that he gave one thousand to help some poor man, he met while traveling back to home & not sure whether he was fooled by that person or not. He came across very ambitious yet kind heart-ed & genuine person. His fair skin glowing that sometimes, Alia felt a bit complex about her skin color.She could not stop laughing that entire morning. Later she came to know that he wanted her to laugh & enjoy, so he deliberately acted funny. Seriously, as per Alia, Dhruv was best in terms of sense of humor.
While returning on bike, when Alia sat behind him, she thought that he felt very comfortable & warm being with her. So he held her hand & wrapped around his waist. She cried silently with emotions heavy in her chest that for her it is too early to be this close. He dropped her back to her hostel & rode away for his office. She joined her classmates for breakfast in hostel mess with mischievous thought of next date playing in her mind.
