chapter 4

It is morning time, and like every other morning, today too Avni is busy doing the same thing which is difficult for her, waking up her daughter.

" Aairu, Get up baccha, today is your first day of college, at least wake up a little early today." Avni, sitting on Aaira's bed next to her sleeping figure, tries to wake her up but her words have no effect on her deaf daughter's ears.

" Aaira, I am telling you for the last time, get up or else..." Avni warns her

" else what? mom, please let me sleep for a little while, and tell the college to come here..." she shakes her head in disbelief at her words.

" Unfortunately that college is not your father's college which will come here for his princess on her demand, you will have to go to the college yourself....and now get up..." Saying this, she forcefully pulls her up, upon which Aaira gets irritated and gets up and looks at her mother with sleepy annoyed eyes

" Mom please let me sleep" Aaira says

"Baccha, you can sleep after coming back from college but today is your first day, at least don't be late today..." She cups her face and explains it to het lovingly, to which she pouts

Avni smiles seeing her pouting face

" Good morning meri Jaan." Saying this she kisses her forehead

"Good morning, but you are being too cruel to your jaan and her sleep." She says with a pout to which Avni smiles and then Aaira gives a hug to her mother and then rushed to the washroom to get ready.

On the other side

" All the best for your first day of college." Priyal wishes Reyansh for his good day by feeding him curd which Reyansh eats and smiles

" Thank you mom." Reyansh says

" If you meet her, talk to her nicely." Priyal warns him to which Reyansh looks at her

" And when have I ever spoken badly to her? She is the one who is always in a fighting mood," says Reyansh

" Rey, she is a kid." Priyal says

" mom, You are talking as if I am very old.... there is only a year's difference between us...And she has never given me the respect of a senior that I should give her the respect of a kid...." Priyal glares at Reyansh on hearing these words.

" Rey, I am warning you that if any complaint comes now, I will slap you." Says priyal

" Mom, are you my mother or did you adopt me?" On slapping his son for someone else...Reyansh asks in doubt to which Priyal actually slaps him, obviously softly.

" pagal ( she says slapping him lightly ) but see, whatever it is, talk to her nicely if you both meet...ok ?" Priyal tells him again, to which, he just nods but only he knows that it is not easy for him to meet her, even if she comes in front of him, he is not able to meet her and the reason is both her brothers who surround her like bodyguards all the time.

Well now she will have only one brother in college but let's see what happens there.

Later he meets his father and his father also wishes him all the best for his college and then he leaves the house for college.

" Papa, please hurry up, I will be late." Aaira says as she comes down the stairs and reaches the breakfast table where her whole family is waiting for her for breakfast.

She is wearing a black off-shoulder top paired with blue denim today, her long hair is open which always enhances her beauty.

" First have breakfast, there is still time..." says Neil

" What? Do we still have time? But your wifey told me not to delay today...she didn't even let me sleep..." Avni shakes her head at her dramatic words.

" That is so that you don't get late, now, everything is on time, sit down, have breakfast and then go to college, you won't be late but yes, if you had slept today, you would have skipped your shower, breakfast and would have been late for college, but this won't happen now, everything is on time because you woke up on time." Avni also gives her full explanation on her complaint as to why she did not let her sleep.

" See, how perfect your mom is, she does everything on time." Neil says praising Avni to which Avni rolls her eyes because this man knows how to butter up both his wife and daughter.

And further, Aaira does nothing but has breakfast with everyone and then takes blessings from her grandparents and then she hugs her mother and leaves for college with her father.

Well, she once requested her father to let her go to college alone but her father did not agree and that's why her father is on his duty, dropping his daughter to the college and picking her up from the college.

A bike stops in the parking area of ​​the college campus and it belongs to none other than Reyansh, Reyansh parks his bike but in the process attracts the attention of several girls, who looks at him with astonishment.

Well, he has that face which girls don't easily forget after seeing once, and neither can they stop themselves from staring at him, and this is what is happening on college campuses right now......He parks his bike and heads towards his class but on the way, there is no one left who can stop themselves from taking a look at him.

The girls are staring at him as if they have seen some wonder.

He is around 6 feet tall and today, is wearing a black sweatshirt paired with denims, he's carrying his backpack on his back.

" Looks like he is a new admission, I have not seen him here before today." Two girls are standing at one place, one of them says these words for Reyansh

" Obviously, the new session starts today so that guy must be a new admission, which means he is a junior...bad luck." says the other girl

" But I swear he is very handsome." The first girl says this while looking at the back of Reyansh who is ignoring everyone's gaze and walking straight towards his class.

" Finally, I won't be bored in this college anymore...my brother is here." These are Aarav's words to Reyansh when Reyansh reaches BBA department where Aarav's classes are also held and both of them meet.

Meanwhile, Reyansh smiles at his words and the two friends hug each other.

"I hope you won't rag me, senior." Reyansh tells Aarav who were with him in school, but now, as Reyansh is starting college after taking a drop of one year, he teases Aarav by calling him senior

" Now that you have called me senior, I will definitely fulfill your wish junior, you will definitely be ragged." Aarav says to which Reyansh smiles.

" But really, I am very happy today...first of all, you came here and do you know what is another reason for my happiness?" says Aarav

" And what is the reason for your happiness?" Reyansh asks Aarav. Even though he knows the reason, Reyansh pretends to be unaware.

" I am happy because today not only my friend but also my sister is joining this college...Aaira." says Aarav

" Oh, That's great, so which department is she in?" he asks casually

" Her department is fashion....OH NOO...." While telling Aaira's department, Aarav suddenly remembers that Neil had told him to meet him at the college gate but he got busy talking here.

" What happened?" Reyansh asks seeing his lost face

" Mamu is coming to drop Aaira to college, he told me to meet him at the gate but I got busy here" says Aarav

"Oh, so now you go" says Reyansh

" Will you come with me?" Aarav asks him

"No, it's time for my class...I don't want to be late...I'll see you later..." Reyansh says to which Aarav nods and then leaves from there.

🦋🦋🦋

" All the best." Neil kisses Aaira's forehead and wishes her while standing outside the college gate, to which Aaira hugs her father

And there, Aarav arrives whom Neil sees and then he hugs Aarav too.

" Take care of it, and you know what I mean by that." Neil whispers the second line to him, at which Aarav nods.

He knows that he has to protect his sister from the evil eyes of boys.

" Don't worry mamu, I'll take care of her." Neil smiles at Aarav's words and without wasting much of their time, Neil asks them both to go inside.

" Finally you have come here, now it will be fun in college." Aaira smiles at her brother's words

" Why didn't you have any friends here?" Aaira asks him

" I have a lot of friends here but no one can fill your absence...." Aarav says making her smile

" I wish Ansh bhai was here too, it would have been more fun." says Aaira to which Aarav smiles

" If he were here, he would not have let you have fun and I would have been scolded all day long... It is good that our grumpy brother completed his studies earlier." Aaira glares at Aarav on hearing his words

"I will tell him that you call him grumpy." says Aaira

" Jaa btaa de bhai ki chamchi, ab jo jaisa hoga use wahi bola jaayega na." Aarav says and both of them reach Aaira's class while talking like this.

" Ok, now go, your class has come. I will meet you after the classes are over." Aarav says to her and after giving her a hug he heads towards his department.

As time passes, Aaira makes some friends in no time due to her extrovert nature and her classes continue today as well where the day is spent in introductions with the teachers, All the unknown people meet and make friends and talk to each other. And time passes away in all this.

And Aaira doesn't have many classes today so as soon as she finishes her last class she comes out of her classroom she is shocked to see the person who always makes her angry.

She leaves the class alone.

Whereas, that guy was standing outside her classroom waiting for her and as soon as she comes out of the classroom, a smile comes on his face, Finally he is seeing her after almost 2 months but his smile fades when Aaira sees him coming towards her and turns her steps and starts walking away from him.

" Mannat, wait." She grinds her teeth hearing her name in his voice, Only her father calls her by this name and she has not given him the right to speak this name.

But at the same time she wonders what is he doing here, as far as she knows he was with her brother Aarav in school but not in college and that is why he chose this college but when did he start studying here ? If she had even the slightest idea that he studies here, she would never take admission here.

She is moving ahead with her thoughts and he is following her calling her name but when he doesn't understand any other way, he immediately catches her wrist from behind

" Mannat I said wait." He says holding her wrist but seeing him holding her wrist she gets even angrier, She turns towards him and sees her wrist in his hand and with a jerk she frees her hand from his grip

" Don't you dare touch me again Reyansh Singhania." she says to which Reyansh sighs.
