It was just another day of a boring life but there was a change. It was his first day in college with new beginning. He collected his broken pieces after two years and sat a new goal.
In past two years he hadn't tasted any piece of happiness but he managed to smile. He stepped into his new world of hopes, unknown faces and unpredictable journey. He was unaware about the things waiting for him.
As he came into the class and sat on the desk, he was completely clueless and bored. He didn't realise someone was looking at him. A nerdy girl with average looks,tied hair and books in front of her was staring him.
May be the reason was his smile which was fetching that girl towards him. She gathered an ounce of courage and asked him," umm..Hey! What's your name?"
Without really looking at her, he replied "Aadiv"
"What?" She confirmed.
"Aadiv" he said.
"Oh okay" She assured confidently.
After a while she asked him "what does it mean?"
"It means delicate" he responded with an awkward smile.
It seems to be an ordinary one sided introduction but it left an extraordinary spark on both the sides. They both didn't look at the details of appearance.
She couldn't stop herself from thinking about Aadiv's smile.
Another day it was, she searched him in the class but he was absent that day.
"Ah! Where is he? Why is he not coming? I want to see him but I don't know why" she said to herself.
Aadiv was a late bird, never on time like he came into her life late but may be on perfect time or may be not.
Destiny has decided something else for them.
The first time when Aadiv heard her voice clearly was when she was reading something in the class and Ms D'souza complimented her "well done Aditi".
"Oh! What a voice" he murmured and appraised Aditi's vocals.
After the ending session of the class she rushed towards him. As she was feeling shy ,she said 'bye' instead of 'hey' and went out of the class.
Days were passing and there was nothing so interesting but there were gossips among girls about Aadiv and his great looks. Girls were talking about his cuteness. Meanwhile, Hriti, the most social and talkative girl came to Aditi and said "That new guy Aadiv, he seems to be so much shy, don't you think so?"
"Yes" Aditi said and giggled.
Hriti and Aditi sat near Aadiv and teased him for his nature. Aadiv just smiled and said nothing.
College notice declared Diwali break for four days and students got a week vacation as Diwali break was followed by weekend.
Aadiv was Delhi based and Aditi was from beautiful Dehradun. She was residing in a rented apartment in South Delhi.
Aditi logged into her social account and searched Aadiv but failed because she was still not sure about his name. It was quite embarrassing to realise that she couldn't understand his name even after asking for the second time.
"Ohfo, whether it's Aatik, Aadik or what? Why on this earth this is happening to me?" She murmured frustratingly.
Weekend came closer, she got a new friends request.
"Oh damn, so the spelling is Aadiv." She said and sighed looking at his profile.
His name was Aadiv Mathur, residence in Delhi 6.
It was 6:30 in the evening, Aditi got a message from Aadiv which showed "hey"
With flood of confusions she questioned herself "why he sent me message? Do he want me to talk to him? Do he got some work? Why would he like to do friendship with me when there are lots of pretty girls out there in the college?" She enquired herself but she managed to text back with a 'hey'.
