Chapter 3

• Anya comes out from the airport and she looks around the atmosphere, she takes the deep breath as try try to sink in in this new environment. The weather was a little cloudy. Anya was wearing jeans with a turtleneck and a long coat. She hails a cab and goes tells the driver the address of her destination.
• After sometime she reaches her destination and is standing outside the gate of her university where her new life will start, a life that completely belongs to her, a life in which she will not compromise anymore or will stay away from every distraction. She enters the university and goes to the main board where many students were already present. She looks for her name so that she can see her dormitory's room number. She found her name and her room no. was 719. Anya follows other students who were also going for their respective dormitories. Many students live in dormitories or some buy different apartments with their friends or students from influential families live with their families. The boys and girls dormitories were side by side like a compound having several buildings, while the compound had three gates one was a common one while the other two were at their buildings respectively. On the left side of the compound there was a ground with a small cliff and on the right side there was a lake with beautiful greenery and garden.
• Anya entered her room and saw there was already a girl in the room who was unpacking her stuff and there was another bag on the centre bed while the bed beside the window and balcony was empty. She sighs in relief as she always liked her bed near the window. The room was quite big as it has different study tables and wardrobes beside the bed and a long centre table with four chairs. She was observing the whole room when the other girl came in front of her, making her startled.
• "Our third roommate right?"
• Anya nods her head then the girl was having blonde hairs with light brown eyes a cute face like a Disney princess character, she cheerfully forwards her hand
• "Hi, I'm Rosalinda Smith, you can call me Rose. I'll be doing bachelor's in literature"
• When Anya heard her name she couldn't help but mumble.
• "Gentle horse, name like personality."
• "Huh..."
• Rose asked with her misheard expression making Anya shakes her head in negative then she continues
• "and the one inside the washroom is Sophia Adam and she is our senior"
• She was about to say more when another voice interrupts her, Anya looks in the direction of voice and sees a girl coming out from the washroom with brown hairs, brown eyes and a little tanned skin with a face showing maturity.
• "Are you going to speak continuously or will you let her speak too?"
• Making Rose bite her tongue with a sorry expression.
• "Oops, sorry."
• The other girl comes Infront of Anya and forwards her hand.
• "Hi, Sophia Adam, doing master's in sociology and as senior she meant that I did my bachelor's from here too"
• Anya shakes her hand then Sophia further questions
• "So you are?"
• Anya introduces herself making the other two girls astonished
• "Anya Arora, student of MBA in medicines"
• Rose jumps and shouts
• "OMG! You are Anya Arora!"
• Anya corrected her making Sophia chuckles
• "Not, the Anya Arora, just Anya Arora."
• Sophia questions but it was more like a statement
• "You are the one who topped in the entrance exam with 97%?"
• Anya holds her bag, puts it on her bed, then turns to them once again.
• "You both know it"
• Rose exclaims
• "Heck! The whole university knows about it, from last seven years nobody scored such a high percentage"
• Sophia further says
• "It happened for the first time that except for 3Ds there was someone else who talked about the university."
• Anya turns to her bag and replied uninterestedly
• "Oh!"
• Rose probes to Sophia while Anya opened her bag and starts to take out her stuff
• "The 3Ds are the legendary group of this university right? The coolest trio right?"
• Sophia counters
• "Ya! The coolest and the scariest too"
• Rose becomes confused with this statement
• "Scariest why?"
• Sophia puts her arm around Rose's neck and makes her understand.
• "If you are in their good books then it's fine but if you provoke them even by mistake then your days in university when will be finished you won't even know, the people who only tried to provoke them are neither in the university and some left this state."
• With all this information there is a fright on Rose's face
• "Are they really that scary?"
• Nods her head solemnly and advises
• "Trust my experience and the more you maintain your distance that would be better."
• Rose looks at Anya who was still busy in unpacking
• "Anya are you not scared?"
• Listening to Rose's question Anya turns to them
• "Didn't she say not to provoke them and maintain distance?"
• Rose nods her head then Anya closes her bag and put it under the bed and dust off from her hands
• "Well that's what exactly I will do with unnecessary trouble."
• The three girls took the whole afternoon and evening to settle down and keep their things in their places. Anya was setting her laptop on the charger when Sophia and Rose came to her.
• "Anya, I'm going to give Rose a tour of university. Wanna join in?"
• Anya shakes her head in negative and takes out her clothes from the wardrobe for ironing
• "No thanks, I need to report at the hospital sharp 9 so I need to prepare my things. I will join you both directly at the time of dinner but I would need your help for the route of the library.
• Sophia shows a thumbs up.
• "Sure, whenever you say"
• Anya acknowledges
• "Done, then meet you at the time of dinner."
• Sophia and Rose goes out from the door
• "Cool, let's go"
• Anya completes her work then comes to the balcony of her room and stares at the stars which were numerous in the sky, she couldn't help but mumble a poem.
• "What do I do,
• When I'm still in love with you?
• You walked away,
• 'Cause you didn't want to stay.
• You broke my heart, you tore me apart.
• Every day I wait for you,
• Telling myself our love was true.
• But when you don't show, more tears start to flow.
• That's when I know
• I have to let go."
• She was reminiscing her all the moments when her trance was broken with the ring of her cell-phone. She picks up the call and from the other side Tanya speaks frantically
• "How are you? Have you reached safely? How are your roommates and how's the university? You will adjust right?"
• Her sister's lots of questions made her chuckle and she teases her.
• "So many questions without stopping! Now you tell me which question should I answer first?"
• Tanya whines
• "Anya!"
• Anya surrenders Infront of her sister, well who told her to pamper her always
• "Fine, Fine. Well I'm good, I reached safely. My roommates are two very good girls one name Rose and the other is Sophia both are like their name one is too friendly and gentle and the other is very intelligent. University is also good and I will surely adjust."
• After hearing the detailed report from her sister, Tanya hum in acknowledgement then Anya asks
• "Happy? Now you tell me how are you? And mom and dad?"
• Tanya dramatically exclaims with the mention of their mother
• "I'm also good and mom doesn't even ask about her. She is calling her relatives and is boasting about your scholarship and dad being a loving husband is supporting her."
• Anya laughs at her mother's antics and Tanya continues to complaint
• "She is the same woman who was throwing tantrums and was crying at the airport like you were going on some war but now look at her. And dad, I really don't understand how he adjusts with her antics every time."
• Anya interrupts her dear sister
• "That's love my dear sister, mom the colour of dad's life and he knows that that's why he cherishes her like Rohan cherishes you."
• At this sentence she heard Tanya's uncertain voice.
• "Does he?"
• Anya mocks her
• "After being in a relationship for 8 months you are asking this? "
• Tanya speaks in a whisper
• "I know, it's just I'm scared like the previous time..."
• Anya again interrupts her
• "Tanya whatever happened to you in your last relationship doesn't mean this will also have the same end, Rohan is a mature person and moreover he truly loves you. So don't think negatively. You got this second chance, so don't waste it on negative assumptions, hold your chance tightly and cherish it, okay?"
• Tanya understands her sister's words.
• "You are right! Everyone deserves a second chance."
• Anya smiles as she can see her sister nodding her head like an obedient child but her smiles vanishes after her next sentence.
• "You too!"
• Anya fumbles listening to her sister's words.
• "We will see about that later, take care as I need to leave for dinner. Love you. Bye."
• Tanya also bids her bye
• "Bye, love you."
• Anya looks at her mobile phone for a while
• "Second chance and me?"
• Then chuckles
• "How naive!"
• Tanya on the other hand thinks about her sister
• "Anya you can't run away from this, I know you will get your second chance and he will love you and cherish you like nobody did to you before. He will love you more than you loved yourself or anyone and I'm sure about it."
• The night passed with Anya having dinner with her new friends and exploring the route of the library.
