And I Dreamt....

“I met this girl last evening; don’t know where to start from, what all should I tell you about her” said Sameer dreamily.

“Uncle Sam, you are in love aren’t you?” said Ritesh naughtily.

“Shut Up yaar, you should have met her to know what an amazing persona she had.”

“Alright, Sammy what’s her name?”

“Ruchika.”

“Ruchika what?”Asked Ritesh.

“I don’t know Ritesh, I was so lost in her eyes when she spoke, that it never struck me to ask questions.”

The college bell rings.

“Sam, some speaker is coming to the college today. All of us have to attend the guest lecture.”

“What is it about Ritesh?”

“The speaker knows it better and then only God knows what he is going to speak on.”

“HE! Such a big turn off….”

They both have a hearty laugh and walk towards the hall. They enter the hall and find the last few seats vacant. They make themselves comfortable. Sameer takes out his Ipad. He logs in to Facebook and searches for Ruchika, simultaneously the thoughts of her have already occupied his mind. He thinks where I will be able to find her meet her, talk to her. He knows it isn’t love but admiration.

Suddenly a male voice speaks on the microphone.

“Due to last minute emergency, the speaker  Mr. Arora will not be able to make it today.”

The students start clapping and rejoicing when the same voice speaks again.

“But the good news is we have Ms. Singhal to address us, we are expecting her any moment, so please behave yourselves. Do not be a disgrace to the fine repute of this college. ”

A pretty girl enters the room with a laptop bag and a bottle of water.
