*Kritika Pov*
"Di! You and Mom have very similar taste and also the best taste too." I said looking at the two storey building which looks very cozy.
"Y..Yeah!" Di stuttered and I looked at her confused.
She closed her eyes for a second and then opened them immediately with a smile on her face. Something is definitely wrong here but we can't know anything until she tells it by herself.
Maybe she is already missing her friends and college. I mean who doesn't get attached to college after studying that too for two years. Akhila Di maybe an exception because she is kind of quiet and spends most of her time either with Mom or in taking care of both of us.
"First I need to have a long shower." I said as we entered the house unlocking the door.
"First you need to brush your teeth which you should have done when we woke you up. Now go and do it." Ri said moving her hand infront of her face few times like she is getting very bad smell from me.
I moved near her face completely and blew air on her face. But ran away from her screeching when she glared at me with a look that says 'You are dead'.
I climbed up the stairs and walked in each room to see which one is good. Then suddenly when I opened the door of the middle room I felt like it is mine and there is also a big window.
I grinned and opened it to see nothing but the neighbor building. Why is there a building here? There could be some trees or something right.
I frowned but that expression completely changed into awestruck when the window of the neighbor building which is directly infront of me opened.
Well I am not saying I got awestruck by just the window opening because I did by looking at the person who opened it. He is.. he is handsome and immediately looked cute when he yawned.
Yawned? Isn't it like 10am now? Did he just wake up? Well who cares because Prince charming can do anything he wants.
Woah! Did I just call him prince charming? Before I could take a good look at him I heard my twin entering the room screeching my nick name because of which he was about to turn this way but I immediately closed the blinds.
I turned around to come face to face with a very serious Ri but her expression changed when she looked around the room.
I know that look! She is interested in this room and I am not going to let that happen. So I flopped myself on the bed and shouted "This is my room!"
"What? When did we even select?" She asked shocked.
"I just did!" I replied shrugging.
"Not going to happen. We need to do the chits to select the room." She said shaking her head.
"Oh come on! I am younger than you. Can't you make your little sister happy by let going this room?" I asked her with puppy look.
"Little sister? You are my twin and only five minutes younger than me." She replied rolling her eyes.
Then I remember that my puppy look doesn't work on her at all. I frowned and then gasped saying "Only five minutes? Do you know how many seconds and milli seconds are there in those five minutes?"
"I know the answer but do you know?" She asked smirking.
"I know I am poor at Maths ok. You need not hurt me like that." I replied pouting.
"I am just stating a fact. Anyway I still don't know why you chose Maths for Jr.College. I mean you could have gone to science side right." She said in kind tone.
"And kill the people or animals or plants in future? I don't want to be a criminal." I said shaking my head.
"So this room is going to be mine." She said getting up and started walking towards the cupboard.
"I will do your laundry." I suddenly bribed her surprising myself.
"Hmm.. what are you hiding in this room?" She asked suspiciously.
Prince charming! I was about to say this out loud but stopped myself. I convinced her for few minutes and she finally accepted.
"Ritika! Kritika! Help me a little here." Di called us and then we remembered that we left her all alone with the luggage in the living room.
We both guiltily shouted "Coming Di!" and rushed towards her to help her. She smiled at us without any anger which is not so surprising at all.
*Akhila Pov*
I started to move the luggage and remove the cloths coving the furniture all around the house with the help of these both. We are lucky to get a fully furnished house.
Ofcourse Dad had to full some strings so that we can get it and the owner stays in the states so everything is fine.
Speaking about Dad we didn't told Mom and Dad that we reached safely. I took out my mobile and started dialing the land phone number but stopped myself from pressing the call button.
I cleared my throat and said "Kritika! Call M..Mom and inform her that we reached safely."
"You call her Di. She will be happier." She said smiling.
"I have some other work." I said giving her my phone and entered the kitchen.
Then I calmly heard her informing Mom about our journey and the house then I heard her suddenly calling me.
"What is it?" I asked her frowning.
"Mom wants to talk to you." She replied smiling.
"Tell her I kind of need to rush for washroom. And also that I will call her later." I said and rushed towards the room which I choose a little far away from the remaining rooms with a balcony.
I went inside the washroom and closed my eyes leaning on the door. I love you so much M..Mom! I thought and released one tear after one whole month.
No! I need to be strong and forget all this. So I washed my face and walked downstairs to see both of them lying on the couch and also saw that they completed the work.
"So there are very little supplies we brought from the home so I will cook something with them but later I will buy the groceries." I said looking at them.
"Di! I will go along with you and buy some groceries in the evening don't worry about it." Ritika said like always.
She is like a son to this house. Always does the outside help but have a very little girly side in her or that's what she wants to portray herself. But I know her better and she too knows that.
"And Di, do not worry about what you will cook. Because whatever you cook makes us not miss Mom's cooking." Kritika said smiling.
I cleared my throat and went inside the kitchen nodding. We have the few bottles of pickles made my Mom as usual as this happens in all the homes when the children goes outside their house to chase their dreams.
After freshening up, we had lunch and we took some rest in the living room itself as we all don't have the energy to go to our rooms.
In the evening Ritika and I went to the grocery shop which is to our luck very near to the house. We left Kritika with all the instructions to not open the door unless it is us.
"Ok! We have everything but we need to buy some medical supplies." I said looking at the list.
"I will ask someone directions for the nearest medical shop." Ritika said and left to go near the counter.
"It is little far away Di. I will bring them tomorrow." She said and we both left the shop.
When we reached the house we saw Kritika talking to someone on the phone. Seeing me she gave me the phone and took the bags from my hand.
They both walked inside the kitchen to set the bags and I placed the near my ear saying "Hello!"
"Akhila! How are you? We didn't talk properly for this whole month." I breathed in relief when I can clearly hear that this is not Mom's voice and it is actually Priya Di's.
"I am fine Di!" I replied walking outside into the garden.
"Don't hide anything from me Akhi! Tell me everything I mean everything." She said with a tone which generally makes me spill everything but not this time.
"That's what we do right Di? Hide few things from our loved ones so that they can't get hurt even though we know that they will get hurt for even hiding it in the first place." I said holding the phone tightly in my hands.
"You are scaring me Akhi! Tell me what happened dear." She asked softly which made me think about our M..Mom's voice.
Di is like my second Mom as she is six years older than me. The twins are more close to me as Di and they have more age difference than normal.
"Leave it Di! Now tell me how is Kolkata?" I asked her changing the topic.
"Hmm... it is the same like it is when I came here two years back." She replied.
"What are you doing now?" I asked her as I heard so much shuffling.
"There is some boring party to welcome some old professor into our college and I am getting ready to go there." She replied and looks like she is searching for something to wear.
"So what about your Ex?" I asked her hoping she will not scold me.
"Don't even take his name." She replied scoffing.
"Which I didn't." I pointed out.
"He will not come even in one kilometer radius near me." She said.
"What did you do?" I asked her amazed.
"I didn't do anything but my students did. They just threatened him so much that if he disturbs me again with his stalker antics then they will not leave him alone at all. They are such sweethearts." She replied proudly.
"How could they leave their favorite teacher in trouble?" I asked smiling.
"I know right! Ok I will talk to you later as I need to get ready." She said and we both hanged up.
I went inside to see both of them arranging the groceries in the appropriate places with little damages here and there. I smiled at them and helped them to do it properly.
Then I cooked some dinner for us which we had lounging in the balcony of my room. From here we can see the backyard of our house clearly.
After clearing the dishes away I lay down on the bed as we have so many tasks to do tomorrow. But after few minutes Ritika entered saying she is not getting any sleep and then Kritika too did the same.
And that's how we three ended up in my room to drift off into sleep with the excuses that we can't sleep but the truth is we all are missing our parents.
*Priya Pov*
Why do they even need to do some party just to welcome some professor? I thought frowning at the group of teachers of the college talking to each other.
I talk to everyone in general but never made any close friends in them as I was always busy spending my time in either with teaching my students or with bonding with them.
I frowned thinking for how much time do I have to bear with this thing. I leaned on to the pillar and looked around the college auditorium.
"Hello beautiful! What is your name?" I heard someone saying from beside me.
I turned to see two people standing behind me one completely handsome face but with a stupid scowl and one with flirty look and I don't even want to describe any face with that look. I smiled sweetly at him and said "Like you called me. My name is beautiful."
Saying this I rolled my eyes and moved away from them to search another alone place. I got big lesson with my Ex to never involve myself with a flirt.
Then finally I mean finally our principal walked near the mike and said "I am pleased to introduce Mr.Bhargav who is going to join our college who has great accomplishments at a very young age. And I am sure you all will welcome your new colleague warmly into this college."
Then to my surprise Mr.Bhargav is not some old man but he is just some scowl man...
*Ritika Pov*"Oh my god!" I heard the screeching of stupid Kri in my ear. Here heard is completely a wrong word as it should be bared."My dear Kri! I know you got some blindness and also little hearing problem but I just want to let you know that I am standing just beside you. I don't even have the hearing problem unlike you." I said with sympathy placing my hand on her shoulder."You are such a boring person Ri. Why do you say such big lines?" She asked frowning."Oh! I forgot that you even have some understanding problem so I will try to keep it in my mind the next time." I said and turned to see our college seeing which she screamed in the first place."To keep you have to have a mind in the first place right." She said smiling."That is such a lame comeback." I said rolling my eyes."Is it?" She asked frowning and my poor Kri fell for my words again."It's ok! Now come on let's go and meet our principal. Di must be waiting for us in his room." I replied and pulled her with me to
*Kritika Pov*"Kri! Wake up!" I heard someone saying while shaking me."Please don't wake me up! He will go away." I said whining and turned away."If you don't wake up in one minute then you have to say good bye to your novels forever." I heard her threatening me."Bye, bye Nove.... Wait! Novels?" I shouted the last two words waking up with no trace of sleep in my eyes anymore.I looked up to see Ri grinning like she won some lottery ticket. I glared at her and turned to look at the clock which made me glare at her more."It is just 6!" I shouted at her in shock."So? I woke up at 5 and even finished jogging." She said shrugging."Good for you! Now let me have some sleep." I said flopping myself on the bed again."You should try it sometime so that you can burn this baby fat." She said pulling my cheeks."I am not..." I couldn't finish my sentence as Di cut me off entering the room saying "She is not fat! She is healthy like we all are in our family except you ofcourse."I grinned at
*Ritika Pov* When Di started to walk towards that person who really seems like an Unkhushal person just like Kri said. I held Kri's hand tightly hoping that Di will not get in trouble or something."We have one task for you to do." A senior said smugly and remaining too looked at me the same way.When he stopped in his tracks and turned towards Di, all the seniors looked at the scene in shock like they couldn't believe he even stopped."Why did he stop? He never stops even if our lecturer calls him." The girl who gave the thought of kissing him said with complete shock."Look he even took the rose and didn't snap at her." a boy said looking at the scene infront of us."And now she is really going to kiss him?" the same girl asked in fear and I can see the worry for my Di in their eyes.But when Di after kissing him she rushed towards us, all the seniors looked at her in complete shock with mouths wide open. She asked me whether I am fine and when I said I am, she left after I ac
*Ritika Pov*Anita and I started walking out of our class to go to the canteen as this is lunch time. It is kind of a rule here that we need to have our lunch in the canteen itself.It is really weird but we can expect that from our weird principal. I mean Alien principal like Kri says."Excuse me?" I heard someone saying. I thought they are calling someone else and continued to walk.But stopped in my tracks when I felt that whoever that person is calling me. I turned around to see 'Kalyan' and his half batch standing behind us."Yes?" I asked him raising my eyebrow."Hi! I am Sid beautiful." A guy standing beside Kalyan said with flirting tone."She is Ritika and I am Anita as u guys know." Saying this Anita dragged me from them before I could say anything to them.I looked at her completely confused as she still continued to drag me. I saw Kri in the way so I took her hand and dragged her with me while she held some other girl's hand and dragged her.This became a kind of chain act
*Kritika Pov*“Kritika. He will not disappear into thin air so you can rest your eyes for few minutes.” Hearing these words from my friend made me look away from him and directly at the teasing face.“Don’t tease me Latika.” I said frowning.“I am just stating the fact. Or do you really think that he will disappear?” She asked teasingly.“You should come and look inside our class in the middle of the lecture Latika. Her eyes don’t go anywhere else except towards him.” Ria said shaking her head.“Look! I know he is your crush but concentrate on your classes too. Trust me he is not worth to waste your studies.” Latika said in concerned tone.“I am not ignoring my studies.” I said defending myself.“What about Mathematics?” Ria asked and my defense immediately fell making me groan.They both laughed high fiving each other. I am not perfect but ok with all the subjects except that stupid maths.“Don’t worry Kritika! You will do fine.” Latika said and Ria nodded.I smiled at them and start
*Priya Pov*“So that’s it for today and I need all of you to complete the drawing by the next class.” I said looking at my students.They are nodded grinning at me. Don’t they get tired doing that all the time? Well I too do the same so I am in no position to ask that.It is lunch time and as my class is over I started packing my stuff along with the students. They all are looking at each other more happy today than everyday.“What is so special today?” I asked them.“There is no English class today Madam.” One kid replied.“Why? Did he called in sick today?” I asked them confused.I didn’t saw him today like everyday and so I didn’t nodded at him as a gesture of saying ‘Good morning’ or ‘Good evening’ depending on the time I see him.As for the students and lecturers they are still angry on him. A rumor even started that he is divorcee and the gossip went to worse lane.It must be a hard divorce which made him to behave like this. I shook my head to clear all the things and continued
*Kritika Pov*“I know why you are doing this but you need to stop this right now.” Latika shouted at me.“What?” I asked her shocked and confused at a time.“This!” she replied gesturing the place she is sitting down and also the place where I am sitting.Actually after that day I started sitting at Latika’s place in the canteen and asked her to take mine. By this I will not look at him even by accident. I even stopped opening the blinds in my room so that I will not come face to face with him by chance.“Are you uncomfortable?” I asked her frowning.“I am feeling so comfortable. I mean why wouldn’t I when some five pairs of eyes are looking directly at us and I have bumper offer to be able to see their faces whenever I look up even for a second.” She replied and I frowned even more when I realized that her words are dripping with sarcasm.“I just don’t want to look at his face for few days until I forget his face.” I said scratching my head.“And one week is not enough?” Ria asked an
*Ritika Pov*"Ritika!" Lecturer barked at me."Yes Sir?" I asked him confused."What is this?" He asked showing me the chart where I drew my homework."Drawing!" I replied shrugging."I can see that it is a drawing." He said shaking his head."Then why did you asked?" I mumbled looking down."What?" he barked again. Then I realized that I said it out loud just like Kri. Did I just get her disease?"What is wrong with my drawing sir?" I asked him back frowning. If I don't change the topic then I am dead for sure."Everything is wrong! This time atleast concentrate on the thing you are doing and you will finish it today before evening." He replied throwing the chart at my table."But it will get late sir." I complained because I will take so much time finishing this."Finish it fast and also correctly." He said moving away.Then I heard few people snickering. I turned to see that those people are none other than that Player's batch.I rolled my eyes and sat down. When few people in the
