Vanya POV

After the fresher's program, I made a video call with my Mom, and Dad, and let them know I was fine being myself. My dad didn't speak with me, because he couldn't digest the fact, that I was so many miles away from him.

Hema(Vanya's Mother): Are you okay dear, or shall I visit you tomorrow?

Vanya: It's okay mom, I'm fine and I made so many friends in the hostel.

Which is a complete lie.

Hema: Did you have any snacks?

Vanya: Yes Mom.

Which is also a lie.

Hema: Take a nap girl, you are having dark circles.

Vanya: Okay Mom, I will call you tomorrow, Bye.

Hema: Okay Dear, Bye Take care.

After a good nap, I had my dinner with the new students and made a voice call with my mother, and told her about my day. After the call, I opened my messaging application to view the last chat that happened with my crush. He didn't reply to my last message, and there is no profile picture in the chat. I just opened his chat to view the last time he came online. And just by staring at the chat, I don't know when sleep consumed me.

Kamal POV

I neither dare to message nor to reply to her. She is a rebellious, naughty child. I don't know how she found my mobile number. During our last met, I received a call and text from an unknown number, which happened to be the little kitten present beside me. Even though I am complaining so much about her, I don't act like any saint besides her. In front of my elder sister Padma, I tried to sit beside her and tried to make physical contact with her. I can feel the goosebumps that are erupting from her body, her side-eye glances over me, not to mention the nervousness she has, whenever we cross paths. All these thoughts made me smirk, and my mind was already cooking a new way to torture her in my way. Suddenly my mom called me downstairs to have my breakfast before leaving for college.

Keerthi(Kamal's Mom): Kamal, come and have your breakfast before it gets cold.

Kamal: Yeah Mie, I'm coming.

I slumped in the chair and started eating breakfast without having any idea about the food because my mind was filled with the thoughts of my little kitten, who was all alone without her mother in a college dorm.

Keerthi: Kamal do you know, Hema's daughter Vanya, and her brother Ashwin joined the college in Chennai?

My Mie stated the thing that I already knew about.

Kamal: Why Mie, don't they have college in their native district?

I asked casually so that she couldn't find my real motive for asking this question.

Keerthi: Kamal, Vanya was a bright student in her school days, and her brother was talented in Machineries, that's why both joined for their UG and diploma in Chennai.

As expected she couldn't understand my thoughts, and she replied without any thoughts, that were running in my mind. My Mie always liked her so much, but she always saw her as the best daughter of her favourite cousin.

Kamal: Whatever.

I tried to act like, I didn't have any interest in her. If she knew that I had an interest in her, then the situation would change as it happened 7 years ago. I still didn't get over from those days.

'But my heart did a flip knowing she already took her place in my Mie's heart, not bad.'

She warned me to eat fast and went to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Kamal: Okay Mie, where is sister?

I asked my mom after searching for my elder sister, who was nowhere to be found in the living room as well as the dining room.

Sheela(Kamal's Elder Sister): Why are you asking about me in this early morning?

Kamal: I just realized you are the best sister in the world.

My sister suffered from this society's evil eyes and talk because she chose her career over her marriage. She once accepted the marriage decision, and that is the same damn thing that made her heart broken. For god's sake, she is fine now.

Sheela: Kamal, I don't think Mother will approve of the love interest you have for Vanya.

Yes, my elder sister already knows about my feelings for my little kitten, but by herself, she doesn't like my Vanya, and I know it very well even though she tries to hide it.

Kamal: It's Okay Sis, even I don't have any feelings for her.

I tried to hide my feelings from my sister, as she is close to my mother, and will surely gossip about my love interest with my mom, and I know where this will land.

I tried to avoid her questions about Vanya, by saying I was late for my football practice and left my home quickly.

Sheela POV

Seeing my brother leaving the house with a happy face, made me realize who is the one behind this smile. Sorry, Kamal, I know you still love her, and she also has strong feelings for you. If not, then why did she have to leave her house and stay in the college hostel, when she never left her Mom's side for a second? Just remember this thing Kamal, whatever Mom and I are going to do is for you and a better future. I prayed to the almighty for my brother, to forget about that little girl who is having him wrapped in her little finger.

Vanya POV

I didn't dare to send him a message or a call to tell him that I was in the same city as him. What if he thinks that I am a desperate girl who wants attention? My mind was clouded with negative thoughts about this so-called crush of mine. I cleared my thoughts with a strong belief that I would never have his attention and started looking after the lectures I had to attend. Without any thought, I listened to the lectures and took notes about it. Just like that, I forgot about him and started to look after the lectures and the new friends that I had made.

'Without knowing what was waiting for her, she enjoyed her college days with an innocent smile'

"Love is a dangerous mirror, which will show us our ugly flaws, and will cover our beautiful wings, and that is how I lost myself in the search of my other half"
