Journey Begins: The Very First Day

8 May 2018; Andheri station:

A girl with her hair neatly breaded and with simple frameless spectacles on her eyes descended from the train.She wore a simple but cute sweatshirt and ankle length jeans with simple shoes that would match her outfit. After her long journey of 5 hours and 27 minutes accompanied with chaos and crowds Reeva was damn exhausted.

(PS: Especially for someone who is introverted and habitual of serene and peaceful life of Nashik)

What's more when the person who was supposed to receive you is nowhere to be seen. She had called the number countless times yet it was busy. Who is she speaking that it takes this long to finish?

All Reeva could do was settle herself on a bench nearby with her ever big luggage and that was not only the thing.She had to watch out for her luggage as she had heard of the legendary tales how people have got their luggages stole in a minute before coming to Mumbai.After half and hour she couldn't take it and she called on the number again. Maybe god had finally felt pity for her and call went through and person picked up.

"Wow so finally you are free or are you you planning for me to sleep here on the station?"

" Sorry !sorry! Hey i forgot actually I haven't but somehow later I forgot."

" 15 minutes I am giving you otherwise this will be last day of your life Ms. Ritika Sane."

" I will come wait there."

The woman anxiously hung up the call.

After 15 minutes which felt like decades Reeva finally spotted familiar yet unfamiliar silhouette waving at her.She was none other than Ritika Sane Reeva's childhood friend and also to Reeva she was her elder sister.They had very deep bond and friendship as they had been playing with each other and Ritika was ver sensible and gentle. But somehow Reeva felt she has changed, there was something different about her but she couldn't pinpoint it.

Actually people do change after moving to different city so it wasn't much of deal with it but still Reeva felt very unusual about her.She didn't know what exactly has changed.It may be her dressing style or she was more of a brave but still there was something amis.The young lady infront of her was beautiful but there were different vibe coming from her and she was unable to understand her.

But anyways Reeva was so tired to think of her.

"Hey , so sorry i was talking to a frnd and I forgot about it but anyways I am so happy you are here.

Saying this Ritika tightly hugged her and Reeva too returned her.

"Yeah finally Di I hope everything goes alright."

The two girls picked up a bag each and and went out of a station.

" Its good you decided to come during Sunday so there isn't crowdy here other wise my lass you would surely be smashing everything oh wait u would have long been smashed instead."

"Oh man please I don't know how I m gonaa travel man . thankfully college is in this area I m so happy I don't need to travel through local train."

" Oh yaa but why not travel and ge used to it .We will go out on Sundays anyways hehe."

" Lets go fast I am hungry already ."

" Okay."

They hired an auto rickshaw as their was lot luggage . Sitting in auto Reeva gazed at those big buildings and bustling streets which felt same as Nashik but still had a different vibe ,a wild and free vibe which send chills on her body with excitement and yet nervousness. Finally they reached in front of long building. Ritika paid the fare and both entered the building. Watchman there stopped th and handed Ritika a document which was a bill of something.Ritika nodded.

"Whats it ?"

"Ah nothinh light bill I guess."

They entered the elevator .Ritika pressed the button of 7th floor.

"We leve that high"

" Yes .Oh god Reeva why are you so adorable .Girl this is Mumbai.Did you expect here to be a row house or bunglow like we have in Nashik?"

" No i just didn't expect that we will live that high ok.

On 4th floor a girl entered .Reeva was actually shocked because girl was wesring a crop top which hardly covered her stomach infact it only covered her breasts and the shorts which were not even covering her thighs properly. Seeing this she looked toward Ritika and now it dawned to her that Ritika too was wearing shorts. Reeva was practically gawking at the legs of both the girls.Suddenly the girl looked at her and Ritika pinched Reeva's hand to which Reeva shouted and her hit her back of head on walls of elevator.Thankfully they reached 7th flor and Ritika practically pulled Reeva

"My god you were practically gawking at us like a pervert.That girl might think that you are interested in girls."

Hearing this Reeva was so embarrassed that her face was red like tomato.

"No you know na she was wearing little."

" Ah its okay you get used to it slowly and infact you too will look good in shorts."

" I don't think so and its so awkward."

Ritika unlocked the door and entered the appartment.

Appartment was well furnished and clean.Ritika put the luggage down and went into kitchen while Reeva went to balcony .She was glancing a the area curiously which made Ritika laugh.

"Hahahahahaha"

"Huh what happened ?"

"Nothing seeing you I recall my first time too I was same. oh go wash your hands and feet so or you want to take a bath?"

" I ll take bath because its so hot here I am all sweaty."

" Okay ,till then I'll brew coffee."

Reeva unpacked her luggage and pulled out her another sweatshirt and Jeans.

"Seriously you will wear this?."

"Huh whats wrong with it."

" Oh my dear Reevs Its hot like hell and you gonna wear sweat shirt dont u have t-shirt ."

" Oh yaaa"

" Ahh you go for bath I ll give you clothes dont worry."

"Okay"

Ritika went in the kitchen and started to brew coffee and leaning on kitchen counter she sighed.

Would Reeva be able to manage here?
