C1 First Slap of Reality

Author's POV

It's a busy day in that college, apart from the newly arrived students everyone is running around with a task to complete. In a foreign place filled with new faces, the crowded ambiance made her heart sink, as she feared mingling with new people. Having grown up in a strict and conditioned household, a thought was strongly printed in her heart, 'what if she failed this time', she didn't know that, if she believed in herself she could win the world. But her insecurities bound her hands in a thick rope and made her a stuttering child. She believed stuttering people don't deserve any happiness, and any achievements, she even failed to love and recognize herself.

No one understood her inner turmoil, and what she went through in her childhood days. And not everyone gets what they deserve. Back to the present time, she hopelessly roamed in the corridors with her mother and her uncle who happened to be her mother's loving brother for her First-year classroom. And that beloved uncle of hers has found this college for her to shine in her career. At the age of 17, everyone forgot that, she was just a child who wanted love and attention, and that's the same thing her family failed to show her.

Her sole reason for leaving her home to attend a college that was present at a distance of 250 kilometers from her home is her everlasting crush, who happens to be her distant cousin who is studying in the same city where she enrolled in her college. She herself knows that not every crush will have a happy ending, but little did she know, that the childhood crush made her leave her home for the first time in her life and will make her do all the things that she feared in her life, and will build her into a beautiful woman.

Vanya POV

This is going to be my first day in college and I am so nervous to face new people. Currently, my mother is giving me moral support and mental support, otherwise, I could have left this place while I was stepping at the front gate. A senior directed us to the classroom where the freshers of the IT department have to there. My long red dress that flowed to my ankles, and my braided long hair made me look like a country girl, and exactly that's what I needed at that moment so that no one would approach me.

As expected my bench mate didn't acknowledge me and I felt relieved because now she didn't know that I am not an introverted person. My mom waved at me from the door, and my uncle shed a smile on me, as an obedient daughter and nephew, I smiled at them. Soon the volunteer students took us to the auditorium for the freshers program. Literally, I have weeped at the entire program, just because I couldn't sit to my mom. A girl introduced herself as Divya and asked my name, I tried to answer her with some incoherent words that described my name, and where I am from.

After watching movies, and reading so many stories, I thought my first day of college would be filled with fun and happiness, but everything happened exactly opposite to it. As I said I came to Chennai for my crush who happens to be here. But, after seeing my life taking drastic changes, I feared what my life would be like in this new city, and my long-time crush had long forgotten from my head. And here comes the part where I regretted my decision to leave my family to attend a college that has a distance of 40 kilometres from the college which my crush is attending.

I was admitted to my college hostel for the next four years, I didn't have the energy to send Mom off. Everyone told me it was normal in the hostel life and I would get habitual to it, but no one understood my inner turmoil of staying at a new place for the very first time in my life. As I guessed I didn't get a proper sleep that night and regretted my decision to leave my parents behind for a crush, who didn't have any idea about me who took this drastic decision for him, and also who didn't have any idea of me crushing over him. Little did I know what was going on in his head. Who knows where this river named Vanya will lead to? With a bag full of thoughts, I didn't know when my sleep consumed me.
