Chapter 5: chapter 5

Sana gets fresh and starts looking for her bio-data and certificate bag. She was suffocating in the house so she finds her bag and goes out and reaches a nearby garden. Being a Sunday, the garden is bustling with people. Sana sits on the garden bench and takes out a copy of the certificate and resume from her bag.Suddenly, her eyes fall on the hostel diary and photographs kept in the bag. She pulls him out with great intensity and curiosity. Looking at the photographs and diaries, all the memories of her hostel's past come to the fore.When Sana gets a scholarship for education from a college in Mumbai, her parents are very happy, but in a big city like Mumbai, sending the girl alone, there was a dilemma in their minds. Sana explains to them that she will not get such an opportunity again and again, there she will also get to stay in the government girls hostel for free. For her daughter's bright future, Sana's parents allow her to go to Mumbai.When she takes admission in a college in Mumbai, she gets to stay in a government girls hostel. The Government Girls Hostel has 4 girls in each room. In her room were Rachel from Kochi’s village, Simran from Chandigarh’s village and Priya from Delhi. The religion, languages, culture, food, way of life of all four were all different, so in the beginning everyone seemed very strange.As time goes by, the four start getting closer to each other. Simran and Priya are both fun-loving, playful and extroverted while Rachel and Sana are calm, sensible and introverted.Priya was like a tomboy. She used to study Commerce in a college in Mumbai but she was more famous for her friendship with boys. She also played cricket, volleyball and other sports with the boys and went for hangout with him. She used to tell all the things of boys to her friends, she was such a carefree and cool girl. She was busy in pea patrolling all day and was so talkative that the night would pass but her words did not take the name of ending. She could easily lighten any serious atmosphere with her fun.At night, she would walk on the roof of the hostel wearing a white gown and scare the security guards like ghosts. Due to her move, many security guards had fled the hostel. She was the life of the whole group.Simran also used to have fun like Priya but she was not cool. She used to study hotel management and cooking in a college in Mumbai. She was very fond of cooking. She used to cook over candles in the hostel. Sometimes maggi, sometimes pasta, sometimes she used to make dishes like popcorn and feed it to her friends. As much as she was fond of cooking, she was also fond of feeding.Priya and Simran used to harass everyone by putting coin from the telephone booth near the hostel and mixing different phone numbers. Sometimes she used to write orders to the pizza, burgers and keep turning them around, she used to have such fun the daily.Rachel had come to Mumbai to do an interior designing course in college but she was more interested in singing than studying. She used to hum in Bollywood or South Indian songs all day in the hostel. Priya and Simran used to make fun of her by copying her songs and pulling her legs but Rachel didn't care about anyone, she kept singing in her fun.Sana had come to Mumbai to do a course in event management. She was very good in studies and also had a hobby of writing novels, poems and articles. She used to recite her written stories and poems to her friends, her friends used to make fun of her but it didn't matter to her.Every Sunday, the four friends used to go to visit Mumbai. Sometimes Gateway of India, sometimes Marine Drive, sometimes Nariman Point, sometimes National Park, sometimes Juhu Beach, sometimes Bandra Bandstand, sometimes Siddhivinayak Temple, sometimes Mahalakshmi Temple, sometimes Haji Ali, sometimes Elephanta's caves.She had travelled in all areas of Mumbai. Everyone thought Mumbai city was their own. In that too, in the rainy season, it rises towards the bright side of Mumbai. In the rainy season, all four of them used to have wings.She used to go for a walk at Nariman Point. Laughing, singing, dancing in the rain, everyone was soaking wet. While dancing and singing, she used to have fun by pouring water on others.Suddenly, Sana's attention is distracted by the noise in the garden. Memories of the hostel were still swirling in her mind. Suddenly she thinks something and takes out her mobile and opens the friendbook application. She tries to find her friends in it. Sana gets the profile of all three and she sends friend request to all three. It was Sunday so Sana hoped that her friends would see her request and reply to her.On the other hand, at Rachel's house on Sunday morning, a quarrel starts between Rachel and David over something. David angrily breaks everything in the house and leaves the house. Rachel is upset and sits in a corner of the house crying. Then the notification bell of her mobile rings.On this side, Simran sunday gets busy in making tea breakfast of her husband and mother-in-law and other household chores. She handles her baby after all the housework is done. She is playing with the child, suddenly the notification bell of her mobile rings.On this side, Priya is sleeping in her bedroom for a long time as it is Sunday. She has a hangover in the morning because of partying late at night. She gets up and goes to the kitchen and makes a glass of lemon juice and swings in the balcony of her flat, then the notification of her mobile rings.Rachel, Simran and Priya check the notification in their mobiles. Seeing the notification, the eyes of all three are wide open and a wave of happiness runs on their faces because her best friend heard in friendbook that friend request had come. The three quickly accept the friend request and chat with Sana. The three do not know that Sana is chatting with the three of them together. In fact, Sana wanted to surprise the three of them.While chatting, Sana takes her mobile number from the three of them. Later, Sana makes a conference call to all three from her mobile. Today, after a full 5 years, all four hear each other's voices. Listening to each other's voices fills everyone's mind and tears start flowing from everyone's eyes. They go to say something but no sound can come out of their throat.Then Priya makes everyone laugh in her funny style and brings a smile on everyone's face to fix everyone's mood. Just like today someone has rained in Desert, a smile appears on the faces of all three. All the friends refresh the memories of the hostel. Then one by one everyone tells about herself what is happening in her life.First, Priya says that she is working in a private bank and hangs out with her boyfriends just like in her old days. Later Sana, Rachel and Simran also tell about their life, But while the three of them are talking, they start crying again and again as if someone has opened the dam of their tears today.Later, Priya consoles everyone and says that today is not a day to cry but a day to laugh and laugh. God has reunited us all so today is a memorable day for all of us. Now everything will be fine, you guys don't worry. But Priya feels from inside that the three friends are not happy with their lives, so those three should bring a little change in their lives.Priya says to her friends, "Why don't we all get together one day and live the same old days for a few days. Listening to Priya's words makes the faces of the three friends glow. But the question arises as to where & how? Then Priya asks the three of them why not we will meet at my house in Mumbai? If we meet in Mumbai, we will be able to refresh the memories of our hostel, our college and Mumbai.We will all have the same fun again. Everyone agrees with Priya, but the three friends tell the problems of their house and how will they be able to leave all that? Then Priya assures them all that she will do something.The next day Priya calls Rachel, Simran and Sana and tells them that the silver jubilee festival of our college is coming in this week, so why don't we all find excuses for this festival. Later you guys stay at my house for a week and we all will refresh our memories by walking around Mumbai.Then Sana says that the financial condition of her house is not good. In this situation, she cannot come to participate in the festival. First of all she is looking for a good job because the whole burden of her family is on her. Then Priya tells Sana that you can look for a job even in Mumbai. Here you will get more opportunity from there and salary will also get better from there.Then Sana finds Priya's point right and a little hope awakens in her mind. She tells Priya that she will talk to her parents about it.When Sana talks to her parents about a job in Mumbai, her parents are a little hesitant and worried about their daughter that how she will manage being alone in Mumbai.Then Sana explains to them that she had been living alone in Mumbai for 3 years before. Earlier she was alone but now her friend Priya is with her, she will stay at her house then Sana makes her parents talk to Priya on the phone. Priya assures Sana's parents that she will take good care of Sana and she will get a job at a good place in Mumbai.Listening to Priya's words, Sana's parents get some relief and they allow Sana to go to Mumbai considering their daughter's happiness and the conditions at home. Sana is very happy for this and she starts preparing to go to Mumbai.On this side, Priya calls Simran's house and talks to her husband Gurucharan. Introducing herself as a Simran's best friend. She and Simran both lived in a hostel together, her college was also the same and she tells about the silver jubilee celebration of the college and requests to send Simran to this function. Then Gurucharan avoids Priya's talk by saying that she can't come to the function of college by giving an excuse of his family and child and hangs up the phone.Later, Simran talks to her mother-in-law and father-in-law about this and requests them to let her go to the function in college, then Simran's mother-in-law and father-in-law explains to Gurucharan that 1 week is not all that matters. 1 week so we can adjust somehow, if she is wanting so much then let her go to Mumbai.Gurucharan has no desire to send Simran to Mumbai at all but he allows Simran to go to Mumbai at the request of his parents. Hearing this, Simran becomes very happy and she tells this good news by calling Priya and she starts preparing to go to Mumbai with her son.In this way, Rachel tells David that her college silver jubilee is taking place in Mumbai so she has to go to Mumbai for 1 week, then David rudely talks to Rachel and says that it has been 5 years since you left college. Now you have nothing to do with that college, you can't go there. Then Rachel gets very angry with David and she tells David in clear words that she will go to the function.There is a heated argument between the couple about this, then David angrily tells Rachel that if you step outside this house then don't come back but Rachel was determined that she will go to Mumbai at any cost.She leaves David's house with her belongings and goes to her parents' house. Rachel tells her parents everything, then Rachel's parents try to explain to her but Rachel doesn't listen to them and starts preparing to go to Mumbai.To Be Continued….Â
