Chapter One - The Fatal Attraction
The cheerful noon welcomed the local train, which arrived
to a standstill at the Kadavali railway station. As the train
stopped, the commuters standing near the door got anxious
to move out. Correspondingly, the commuters standing on
the platform were desperate to get in. The large crowd then
moved out of the train and the smaller set of people got
inside. The train continued its journey ahead to its next
destination. At this moment, the train was relatively empty.
Avanti quickly walked to the door. Cool gentle wind met
her face; her long black hair moved swiftly and her pink
skirt was free in the air, and her ear danglers jazzing to the
breezy tone. The day was not sunny, it was windy.
Meenakshi and Rachana, her two best friends joined her
near the door.
Wow, such a cool air! exclaimed Meenakshi clinging
towards Avanti.
Yeah! Its cold in here. Mumbai was burning, agreed
Avanti as she joined her hands and then rubbed them
gently.
www.firstyouplz.in
Its May and its summertime there. Mumbai is expected
to be hot. We are near Matheran now, so this cool breeze is
the effect of the hill station, said Rachana.
Wow! Thanks for the information, Rachana! You are so
intelligent! We never knew that we are near Matheran now,
just a few kilometers away from Mumbai, Meenakshi said
in a teasing tone.
Avanti and Meenakshi shared a good laugh. Avanti
embraced Meenakshis arm. Further controlling her
laughter, Avanti said, Good one!
Disapproved, Rachana stared at them and in an animated
tone she said, It is not funny!
Oh, really? Meenakshi teasingly asked Rachana.
Avanti sensed that the two of her best friends were about to
enter into a heated conversation. Like every time, she
interrupted before the things were propelled out of
proportion.
I feel that Mumbai is no longer that hot, said Avanti.
Why do you think so? asked Meenakshi.
We, the three hottest girls of Mumbai are here, so how can
Mumbai remain hot anymore? said Avanti.
Yeah! agreed Meenakshi and the threesome giggled.
Their friendship was three years old. They met each other
during their management graduation and were inseparable
since then. They were on their way to embark a fresh
journey; to pursue higher management studies, that is,
MBA.
www.firstyouplz.in
As the train enters Neval station, we would be able to see
our college, but it is from the left side of the train, said
Rachana.
Come, let us move to the left door, said Avanti.
The three girls moved to the left side of the train, their eyes
glued to the landscape, tall trees residing in lush land and
the greenery around. Beautiful mountains behind them and
the waterfall made the location even more picturesque!
Its heavenly gorgeous! God must be a painter, gasped
Avanti.
No stupid, he is a photographer, said Rachana.
What? asked Avanti in disgust.
He is a photographer and he clicks when the sky
thunders, said Rachana.
The threesome burst out laughing.
Hey look out, thats our college, said Rachana.
The visibility from the train was restricted to the sole glass
building standing tall in the middle of the lush green land.
The campus area was not visible to her. Avanti rested on
her toes and then jumped to see if it was further visible but
only the glass building was distinguished. Avanti gazed at
it silently.
This is the place, where I am going to spend the next two
years of my life, away from my family. I wonder what it has
in store for me! But, I am happy about being a part of one
of the most prestigious management schools. Only, one
thought discomforts me. How will I stay away from mom
www.firstyouplz.in
and dad? All I wish is these two years should come to an
end soon.

As she fixed her eyes on her new destination, her mind
sparked a flash back, and thoughts about her mom and dad
crept in.

Avanti, let me and your father accompany you for the first
day. We want to meet your teachers and see your new
college.
Come on mom, for how many times do you want to visit
my college and meet my teachers? I have taken admission
there and hence, I am destined to spend the next two years
there. Now, its my journey further on. If you accompany
me, you know it very well that I will cry when you leave,
said Avanti in embarrassment.
Oh, Avanti! said her mother.
Mom, I dont want to cry when you leave the campus,
cried Avanti.
Let her go alone, let her be strong! exclaimed Avantis
father.
Her mother nodded. However, she exhibited her
disapproval in her heart.
Her thought went split as the train came to a halt abruptly.
Her dry eyes altered moist and a small drop of tear rolled
down her right cheek.
---------------------
www.firstyouplz.in
After ending various official formalities Avanti, Meenakshi
and Rachana crossed the main gate of the college and
entered the college campus. The main gate ushered the way
to the wide sides of the wide road, besides the muddy
pathway. The muddy pathway extended to the vast
meadows.
The threesome looked around silently witnessing the
beauty of the nature, as maintained by the college staffs.
Rachana said, The open spaces here make the sunrise,
sunset and the moon so visible. You never get to see these
in Mumbai because of the tall buildings around.
Avanti agreed, This place is surely a photographers
delight.
As the girls walked further they saw the wide road ends
into two pathways, one led them to the academic block and
the other to the teachers rest room. The girls apparently
approached the academic block.
The building we saw from the train! exclaimed
Meenakshi, pointing to the academic block.
Yeah, agreed Avanti.
As they entered the academic block, they saw, it had a
fairly huge open space with few tables and chairs,
beautifully placed around. Some were placed at the corner
of the open space; some were in the center, yet placed
decently away from each other in order to maintain the
beauty of the academic block. Many students and parents
were standing there; the students were standing along with
their luggage. The walls showcased a few paintings.
www.firstyouplz.in
Excuse me, where is the main office? Avanti queried
from one of the students standing in the corridor.
The first room over there, replied the student, pointing
his finger to the room at the left corridor.
Thanks, said Avanti.
The three girls moved to the main office. The open space
led them to several corridors. Each corridor had distinct
rooms. The doors and one side of each room were made of
glass. All that was happening in the room was visible from
the outside. Only the main office on the academic block
had a glass wall on the two sides, to make the happening in
the room visible from the several corridors and the many
rooms.
They all spent half an hour in the office, completing
formalities. The office staff gave them the keys to the
room. They moved to the hostel building. It was four in the
evening.
My room number is 202, said Avanti.
I hope, we three are on the same floor, if not in the same
room, said Meenakshi.
I told you earlier that in management schools they dont
allot same rooms to students from the same place, so that
they get enough opportunity to gel with the other batch
mates, said Rachana.
Let us quickly change and meet our batch mates at the
academic block. I saw someone really very hot, said
Rachana rolling her eyes.
www.firstyouplz.in
Avanti entered her room. She kept her luggage on the bed.
There was a window in the room, next to which was a side
table and the room had an attached bathroom, it had a
cupboard for a girl to stock belongings. She unlocked the
window and witnessed a scenic panorama. The sky was
orange. The sun was about to set. She got lost in the scenic
beauty.
What a beauty! For the next two years, I shall witness this
beauty every day. How lucky I am!
Avanti lovingly stared at the setting sun. Suddenly, a
cricket ball smacked the window of the subsequent room.
Her romance with the setting sun came to an end. She saw
a group of boys playing cricket in the playground in front
of her window.
Carry on the game, the window is safe, yelled a fielder.
Anyways, there is no one in that room, said the batsman,
past that high strike, proudly defending himself.
The batsman was at the striker's end. The bowler bowled.
The batsman smacked six. Avanti clapped. Now, the
bowler threw the next ball. Again the batsman stroked six.
Avanti applauded loudly.
Wow! said Avanti.
All the boys in the field were looking at her, she felt
embarrassed. The batsman removed the helmet and smiled
at her.
She gazed at him and their eyes met. She further gazed at
him, this time with an intense admiration. She experienced
a terrible emptiness within her. Somewhere two planets
www.firstyouplz.in
have collided and her world has come to an end. There was
no one around. There was no sound to be heard, except her
heartbeats. Something told her that he was not a stranger;
she wasnt feeling him for the first time. She was unable to
take her eyes off him. As if some witch had cast a spell on
her. She was unable to control her eyes.
He grinned at the admiration of a newly arrived girl, and
then he covered his face with the helmet, only his eyes
were visible. Avantis eyes were still fixed on him.
My heart is beating so loudly.
She wanted to have some more glimpses of him. The
batsman was again at the strikers end. The batsman stroke
four and his team won the match. There was much
rejoicing in the playground. Then the batsman removed his
helmet and started talking to the other players on the field.
Avantis eyes followed him and only him. Like there was
no one else on the ground.
Avanti was still staring at him, unable to take her eyes off
him.
Who is he? Whats wrong with me? Why cant I take my
eyes off him?
-------------
Later in the evening Avanti, Meenakshi and Rachana were
walking around the campus. They came across a new
management student recruit; all the three offered their
introduction and received one in return. They were trying to
gel in with the maximum new recruits around, talking to
them.
www.firstyouplz.in
The evening time had passed. It was now time for dinner.
The girls moved towards the canteen.
So far so good, said Rachana.
We have a good mix of batch mates, from different
academic backgrounds, different cultures and different
work experience, added Meenakshi.
Hello Meenakshi, a voice came from behind.
The three girls turned behind. Avanti saw the batsman from
the field standing in front of her.
Hi Aakash, Meenakshi replied.
So, how are you my friend? Aakash asked.
I am doing well. Meet my friends, Rachana and Avanti.
He is Aakash.
Hello, said Avanti and Rachana smiling at him.
A male voice from the canteen called for Aakash.
Will talk to you girls later, said Aakash.
Avantis eyes followed him, till he was seen. She felt
helpless when she saw him around and was unable to take
her eyes off him.
Why? Why?
How do you know him? quizzed Rachana.
Two months back we met at the college entrance exam,
replied Meenakshi.
Oh nice! Must say that he was really good looking!
exclaimed Rachana.
www.firstyouplz.in
Forget him, he is committed. He is dating someone and
loves her, replied Meenakshi.
Avanti became unhappy after hearing this. She felt
disappointed.
I dont care if he has a girlfriend; I am not bothered at all.
I don't even know him. I just like the way he looks and
nothing more.
Avanti felt a bitter pinch and she experienced a unique
emptiness and a strange sense of pain within her.
Why am I so bothered? Why is he affecting me so much? I
dont even know him.

Chapter Two - Girlfriend Or No Girlfriend
The session began in full swing. Avanti was now friends
with most of her batch mates and seniors too. As she
entered the third week of her new life, she realized that she
has actually started liking the new place. The pollution free
environment, new friends in her life, new learning, lectures,
assignment, watching evening cricket, her window, the
sunrise, the sunset, the moon, the library, the canteen, the
post dinner walk with her friends and then retiring to her
room, all was worth enjoying.
I miss you mom and dad. If today, I like this place, it is
because of my new friends. They add a special meaning to
this place.
Aakash had also become her new friend. In a weeks time,
he was no longer only Meenakshis friend but also became
a part of the group. Her eyes followed him wherever he
www.firstyouplz.in
went. She realized she should not be looking at him, but
every time she felt that, a sort of helplessness had
empowered her. The more she desired to be away from
him, the more she was attracted. During the first week,
Avanti and Aakash shared a casual talk, being good to each
other. The ice broke between them, the day when.
Avanti was in the library. The library was divided into two
parts. A glass door and a glass wall worked as partitions.
The first part occupied several book racks. The second part
was the sitting area, with table and chairs. Avanti was
sitting in the second part, at the corner table. She sat in a
way which made the entire library visible to her. She was
busy with her assignment. There were books all over the
table she had occupied. She was working on her laptop.
Hi Avanti, said Aakash with a sweet smile on his face.
Avanti looked up and saw Aakash was standing in front of
her.
Hi Aakash, replied Avanti.
Are you working on your HR assignment? asked Aakash.
Yes, replied Avanti.
If you dont mind, can I complete this assignment with
you? asked Aakash.
Sure, said Avanti, with a charming smile on her face.
Thanks. This assignment is so boring. I wish the
submission date gets postponed or the teacher falls ill. I
wish, it rains so heavily that the entire lecture gets
postponed, said Aakash in a disgusted tone.
www.firstyouplz.in
Avanti was amused and burst into laughter, Do boys
always talk like that? I thought cribbing and crying over
assignments were girlish.
Aakash moved his chair closer to Avantis chair. Aakash
gazed at her, directly into her eyes. Avanti got
uncomfortable as he came near.
Aakash shuttered in whispering tone, I like your pink
earrings.
Avanti was confused with Aakashs changed behavior. Her
charming smile faded, fumbling she said, Tha..Thanks.
Aakash came closer to her, I like when girls color
coordinates their stuffs, like the color of your lips matches
exactly with the color of your earrings.
Avanti was speechless, but replied, Okay.
Aakash moved his chair further close, Your lips are
beautiful, lovely pink. You are a beauty. You have an
awesome complexion.
Avanti became speechless and it was impossible for her to
answer him.
She ignored his comment and opened one of the books kept
on the table. She started reading.
Why is Aakash behaving so weirdly? Has he noticed that I
keep on looking at him? What will I answer if he asks me
about my staring acts, when I myself dont have any
answers.
I thought we were doing an HR assignment, said Aakash.
Yes, you are right, replied Avanti.
www.firstyouplz.in
Then why do you have to open a Business Management
book? asked Aakash.
Avanti on the spur of the moment, closed the book and
looked at him in confusion.
So Ms. Avanti, do boys talk like this? asked Aakash.
Aakash burst out laughing.
Were you joking all this while? asked Avanti with a
straight face.
What? You thought I would flirt with you, no ways, said
Aakash laughing.
You are so mean. You scared me. And for heaven's sake
pull your chair back, right now, said Avanti in an
embarrassing tone.
Aakash laughed and in an animated tone teased her, Do
boys talk like that? I always thought cribbing and crying
over assignments were girlish.
Avanti lightly smacked him with her book.
-----------------------
The other day near the lake
So you come here every day, just to feed fishes? Avanti
asked.
Yes, poor fishes, they dont get anything to eat, said
Aakash, holding a packet of bread in his hand. He was
tearing bread into small pieces and feeding.
Avanti was admiring his innocence and then she looked at
him in awe while he continued to feed.
Aakash is so caring...
www.firstyouplz.in
Aakash looked at her, she was embarrassed and then she
pretended to cover her glancing act and played with her
bangles.
Damn! He caught me. What will he think about me? Why
this girl has to always stare at me?
Avanti was deeply lost in her thoughts. He splashed water
on her face. She was astonished with water droplets hitting
her face, her mouth was open.
No! You are so mean! she wiped her face with her
duppatta.
Welcome back! said Aakash making fun of Avanti.
Oh! Please, she walked off angrily and accidentally
smacked her leg to a huge stone lying there.
Ouch, cried Avanti in pain.
Hey Avanti! Watch out, said Aakash.
AAA.. cried Avanti.
Are you all right? Is it paining? asked Aakash
scrutinizing her feet, checking whether she was hurt.
I am fine.. Am fine, Avanti said in a low tone.
God what's wrong with me? What am I blushing for?
Please help God!

The other day in the academic block
This is for you, Aakash offered a chocolate to Avanti.
Wow! A chocolate! exclaimed Avanti in joy.
www.firstyouplz.in
I got chocolates for all my friends and this is for you,
said Aakash.
Avanti answered casually, trying her best to conceal how
happy she was on receiving the chocolate, Thanks.
Why am I so happy? Just for a piece of chocolate! God help
me! Why am I behaving this way? Oh, yeah! Now I know
why I am so happy. I am happy for the chocolate
irrespective of the fact who has given it to me. Yeah, girl
you are right!
---------------------------------------------
The other day in the canteen..
Where were you the last evening? I missed you, said
Aakash to Avanti.
Missed me..
Avanti answered him, In library.
Aakash said further, I missed you so much. Last evening
when you were not seen at your window, there was no one
to applaud. I just didnt feel like playing.
Avanti smiled and tried her best to conceal her happiness.
Missed me..
Now as they entered the third week of the college.
Meenakshi, Rachana, Avanti, Aakash along with their
college friends planned a day trip to Matheran.
Is this your first trip to Matheran? asked Meenakshi.
Yes, as you know I am from Bangalore. I never got a
chance to visit this side of the country. This would be my
first trip to Matheran, replied Aakash.
www.firstyouplz.in
Aakash and the group explored various hill points,
shopping, and relishing the local food of Matheran. Avanti
noticed that she did not get a chance to speak to Aakash
since the morning. Aakash too was so occupied with the
others that he had no time for Avanti.
In the morning at 8 a.m. he said hello to me and that was
the last time we spoke. Since then, he has been speaking to
everyone except me. Is he ignoring me?
Avanti, come here, called Meenakshi.
Avanti was in her own world, away from the trip, college
and her friends.
Is he ignoring me? Why is he doing so? Has he noticed that
I keep on staring at him and thats why he is no longer
interested in being friends? I think he will never ever talk to
me. He will never talk to me.
Avanti, what are you thinking so much about? I called you
thrice. What happened? asked Meenakshi expressing
concern on Avantis behavior.
Avantis eyes were full of tears, water streamed down her
pink cheeks. She was crying wildly, finding hard to
breathe, I dont know. I dont like this.
What is it that you dont like? asked Meenakshi.
I dont like.. when people.. I call my friends, ignore me,
said Avanti controlling her tears.
Who ignored you? asked Meenakshi.
No-one, said Avanti in an embarrassed tone.
Meenakshi gave her a puzzled look, Someone ignored you
and you are so affected that you are crying like a baby, and
www.firstyouplz.in
now, you dont even want to share the whole thing! Fine,
even I dont care.
Meenakshi walked off angrily.
Avanti was surprised at her own behavior. Meenakshis
words were echoing all over.
Someone ignored you and you are so affected that you cry
like a baby.
Meenakshi, Rachana and Avanti were in Avantis room.
Avantis bed showcased the entire days shopping goodies
of the three girls. Avanti was still disappointed with
Aakashs behavior, but now she wanted her mind to stay
away from his thoughts, engaging herself with her two best
friends.
Meenakshi had noticed changes in Avantis behavior and
knew something was bothering her, but she preferred
giving Avanti the desired time.
Avanti is my friend; sooner or later she will tell me about
the matter.
Rachana stood in front of the mirror to test out how she
looked in her latest addition to the wardrobe while Avanti
and Meenakshi lazed in bed, after a tiresome day.
I like your T-shirt, said Avanti.
Thanks. By the way do you girls know the latest gossip in
the college? asked Rachana.
NO! replied Meenakshi and Avanti, unanimously.
Priyanka, the hot babe is interested in girls, said Rachana.
OMG! Poor Aakash, said Meenakshi.
www.firstyouplz.in
Whats with Aakash now? asked Avanti.
Poor Aakash. He finds Priyanka hot, this news will
disappoint him, added Meenakshi teasingly.
But he has a girlfriend, right? asked Avanti.
Meenakshi replied, Yes, he has a girlfriend. They both
really like each other. Aakash is committed to her. They
plan to get marr..
Meenakshis words were interrupted by Avanti, Please
stop it Meenakshi. I cant hear this. Girlfriend! Girlfriend!
Who is she? I hate her. Why does he have a girlfriend? I
hate her. I dont like her, said Avanti crying
uncontrollably.
Meenakshi and Rachana were speechless on seeing Avanti
cry and her words echoed in the room. They had just
witnessed something unbelievable. Meenakshi and Rachana
looked at each other with their mouth wide open. They
looked at Avanti in disbelief. They did not know how to
react.

Chapter Three - Talk To Me
OMG! I cant believe. You are crying for a boy, said
Meenakshi with her mouth wide open.
Avanti covered her face with her hands; tears travelled
down her swollen red eyes to her red cheeks.
I think you are in love, said Rachana.
www.firstyouplz.in
What do you mean; you think she is in love? It is so
evident that she is in love. Now, I know why you cried
during the trip, said Meenakshi.
She cried in the Matheran trip too? When? asked
Rachana expressing her concern.
She thought Aakash is ignoring her, replied Meenakshi.
