Chapter 22:- An Accidental Meet.

Days pass and the weekend comes this Sunday. It's the last weekend of the December month and after two days the new year will start.

I have made a plan for myself that I will watch one movie and read one Novel and sleep. So in the morning when I was thinking about which movie I should watch my roommates were talking about 'which shopping mall they should go shopping for' and then they asked me to get ready for going out. I was shocked that why didn't they tell me before and they both tell me that it's decided now because today is Sunday and they both want to do some shopping, have fun and also want to eat Pizza because they both are bored from eating mess food. So let's go together and make your last year more memorable.

Firstly I said no to them and shared my relaxed plan for my Sunday and they both are like why did you want to stay alone? We will all get fresh minds from our study and it's your last year in college then you will leave the hostel and we are not able to have fun like this. So let's go together and don't think too much.

They are right because from next year I'm going to shift to PG so we will not have time to have fun. So finally I agree with my lovely roommates.

In the journey of my hostel life, I'm blessed to have Shruti and Diya as my roommate . We had gone many times for watching movies and also for shopping and sometimes only for eating Pizza or eating food in a hotel when we feel bored with mess food.

So first I informed my mother and then we took permission letters from hostel Warden madam for going out.

We decided to go shopping after eating lunch and return back to the hotel after having dinner at night and reach the hostel before 9:30 p.m.

After lunch, we get ready for going shopping. I get dressed up in Black colour top and blue jeans. I do simple hairstyles for my hair and wear simple white colour sneakers. Diya and Shruti both look beautiful. At one p.m we leave the campus and sit in the taxi.

They both have decided to go to the shopping mall which is in the centre of the city and almost an hour away from our hostel. We reached there by doing chit chat and having funny talks. Shruti has made the list of things that we need in our rooms and some groceries for all of us. Diya has to buy clothes.

We decide to buy the first things for the room including groceries and then help Diya to choose her clothes for shopping. We all get split to buy things from the mall. Diya and Shruti went to a different corner to buy things for the room and I went to buy groceries.

I took one trolley and got busy putting things from the list and I heard that someone called me by name and it feels like I heard this voice.

When I turned back I was shocked to see Aarav. He looks handsome in a red t-shirt and white colour jeans. When he comes near me I don't know why but my heart starts beating fast and it's the first time I feel like this from my heart for someone. I took one deep breath and managed to look normal.

He said with a smile on his face that " Hey, Aarya how are you?" And

I told him that " I'm fine. How are you?"

He told me that" I'm fine and I told you we will meet soon see we're here together"

It was like we both are living in the same city but it's strange when I think to keep myself away from even thinking about him. Look at my destiny , it wants me to meet with him.

Today I accidentally met with him.

So with a smile, I give him a reply that "It's possible when we both are now in the same city. Have you come here alone or are you in the company of anyone?"

He says " I am here with my two friends. They want to buy clothes and when I was passing from here I saw you. So I called your name. What about you?"

I remembered that Shruti and Diya must complete their shoppings and can come here anytime.

I told him that "I'm here with my roommates for doing shopping so for groceries and my roommate Diya has to buy clothes"

Then he asked me, "'What is next in your today's plans?"

I said , " After that, we will go roaming in the city and eat Pizza."

He had an expression of confusion on his face and he asked me, " If you don't mind and of course if your roommates do agree, can we all hang out together?"

I also want to spend time with him and don't want to overthink this matter so I told him that " Well If my roommates do agree I'm also agree I ask them and then I will tell you the answer."

I was about to call them both and they came near me so I introduced them as my roommates Diya and Shruti to him and introduced him as my family friend.

I told him to excuse us and he goes a little far from where we are standing. I asked my roomies , " If you both feel comfortable, then we all both of you, me and his friends will do our rest of the plan for today together. If you guys aren't fine I can say no to him. It's all okay and doesn't do anything in pressure."

They both look at each other and say to me that they are okay with it. I feel happy that they say yes.

So I told him that "we all are ready to come together with you but before that we have to finish Diya's shopping"

He told me that " Oh, it's okay you guys do that till then I also go with my friends and they also have to do shopping. When we finished that I will call you or if I don't call you and you guys finished early shopping then you can call me"

I tell him that " Okay, but do you have my number?"

And he tells me that " No, but I will save from the What's app group."
