Anu is getting ready to meet her friends. Before leaving her room, she comes back and checks again in the mirror. She smiles at the mirror, since everything is looking perfect.

She walks into the kitchen and sees her sister having breakfast.

Her mom from the kitchen shouts: “Have breakfast and go”.

Meanwhile Anu whispers to her sister “What is good today in breakfast”?

Her sister puts a disappointing face, Anu noticing that replies to her mom, that she doesn’t need breakfast.

And she leaves the house quietly taking her bike.

Her mother comes out of the kitchen and searches for her ... she doesn’t find her and asks the anu sister. Anu’s sister shows with hand, that she has already left the house.

Anu reaches the barista café and her friends are already waiting for her.

When Anu gets inside the café, she gets so excited as she is meeting them after long time after the college.

Anu and her friends are from the same undergraduate college.

They started celebrating this special moment, taking selfies and posting it in Instagram stories, whatsapp status, facebook posts.

When the ordered food gets on the plate, the actual discussion has started about their admissions of MBA.

Everyone is clear about their colleges but Anu is not clear about it.

Anu after listening to all her friend’s discussion, she picks a college which is liked by most of their friends.

                                                                   ****  

She joined MBA college; all the things are going fine. She is enjoying her time in the college.

After first few days in college, she went to library to get the books suggested by the professors. She was searching for books, but she couldn’t get the right books.

Just opposite to her, Arjun is sitting on the table and reading the books.

There is no one in that floor of the library. After few minutes, Arjun observes anu struggling to search the books. Arjun asks Anu, whether she need any help.

Anu says “Yes, I am actually searching for Statistics Books”.

Arjun asks Anu which one she wants as there are two authors.

Anu says that I need book by David S Rubin and Levin. But Arjun Says there is another book which is much better than this book.

Anu for a moment goes in doubt, and after few seconds she says, “no no I want the book by David S Rubin and Levin only, as most of my friends said it is good”.

Arjun smiles at her and he gets that book from bookshelves for her.

Anu feels happy and she says thanks and leaves the place. While she is leaving , Arjun says “I am Arjun and you ??”

Anu again goes for a moment in doubt and after few seconds, she says “I need to leave” and leaves the place in hurry.

While Anu is leaving, Arjun blushes, as he has already fell in love with Anu.

The next day when Arjun sees Anu in the college and waves his hand at her.

Anu ignores and acts as if she doesn’t know Arjun.
