Sau baate karta yeh,
Budhu sa mann hai...

Mannat's POV

I looked around and saw students everywhere, some of them who have been coming to this place now for quite a while and some like me, whose first day was today.

I entered and looked around and finally my eyes landed on the reception. I went there and asked for the schedule. She pointed me towards a bulletin board and I went over their to check my classes. I didn't want to miss any class so I took a photo of the schedule and any other important notice that was put up on the board and started finding my class.

Finally after 5 minutes of asking and walking I found my building and my class. I peaked inside and saw that the teacher had still not arrived means I was not late (shukar hai rabba🙏🏻- thank God)

I entered the classroom and found an empty bench and sat on their waiting for the teacher to arrive. I took out my book, notebook and pen ready to learn everything that could be offered.

While I was keeping my pouch in my bag a girl approached me-

"Heyy"

"Oh hii, sorry didn't see you there"

"It's fine. Actually I wanted to ask where did you get the books from? I'm new to this city so I have no idea how things work here, the curriculum everything"
The girl asked me feeling a bit nervous

"It's absolutely fine. You can check out which books you want for your subjects on the college website. Everything is uploaded there." I replied to her keeping a warm smile on my face.

"Thank you so much." She said while smiling at me. "By the way, I didn't get your name?"

"I'm Mannat, Mannat Kaur. And you?"

"Ridhi Singhania" she answered forwarding her hand for a handshake.

I clasped her hand in mine and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you Ridhi"

"Nice to meet you too, Mannat"

"Settle down quickly class. I'm already late for the lecture let's not waste any time. Sit wherever you find seats and don't come to me saying I don't have a place to sit" Our teacher and entered and spoke everything in such a loud tone and everyone in class settled. Ridhi sat next to me and we started the lecture.

After 3 consecutive lectures

"Hayye rabba. Three lectures back to back! Itna zulm bhi nahi Saha jaata"
(Oh god. Three lectures back to back! I can't take any more torture)
I said while exaggerating a bit but still tired.

Ridhi who was sitting besides me laughed at my over acting and said, "Chal ab bahar chalte thodi der ek round maarke aate hai. Vaise bhi abhi break hai"
(Come let's go outside and take a round. Anyways it's break only.)

I packed up my books and notebooks and picked up my stuff and set it nicely on the chair, then followed Ridhi outside. We chatted for a bit and had lunch as well while getting to know more about each other.

Ridhi is originally from Rajasthan but she has come to Delhi for her further education. I told Ridhi that I had a friend from Rajasthan as well and we were long distance and we talked about what not.

We didn't even realise when our half an hour was up and we had to go get ready for our next lecture.

"Hey, do you remember what lecture we have now? I don't remember the schedule."

"I also don't remember let me check" I said while giggling a bit

I opened my phone and checked and we had no class scheduled at the time and in the class after that, the teacher is absent.

"We don't have anymore lectures for today" I said slipping my phone into my pocket

"Seriously! That's it?" Ridhi asked, shocked.

"Yeah, that's it I guess" I said smiling.

"Mai toh chali ghar ab. Mast rest karungi. Aap ghar jaoge?"
(I'm going home now. I will enjoy my rest. Are you going home?)

"Yes mai hostel jaa rahi hu vahi rehti hu toh vahi jaa rahi hu"
(Yes I'm going to the hostel. I stay there)
Ridhi replied as a matter of fact.

"Kaise jaoge aap? Mai toh kuch laayi bhi nhi ki drop kardu. Kyunki Mera Ghar toh 10 minutes walking distance par hai"
(How will you go? I haven't even brought any vehicle with me otherwise I would have dropped you. But I walk my way home as it is only 10 minutes away.)
I said feeling a bit sad.

"Arre it's okay, hostel konsa dur hai paas hi hai I'll go don't worry okay? You take care of yourself and dhyaan se jaana. Bye bye "
(Oo it's okay, hostel is nearby only. I'll go don't worry okay? You take care of yourself and go carefully, bye byeee)
She said reassuring me and waved me goodbye.

I also said bye to her and went on my way. I called Kiara but she wasn't picking up.
Internship mai hogi na pagal tu bhi phone kardeti hai
( She must be at her internship you fool. You just call without thinking)
I thought and cut the call quickly.

I Decided to call Divya in the mean time.

Ring ring

Divya- Hello. How are you?

Mannat- I'm good you tell? Disturb toh nahi kiya na?
( I haven't disturbed you right?)

Divya - No No I was free only. I have a free period right now.

Mannat- ooo niceee

Divya- Haan, vaise tu kahan pe hai?
(Yes, by the way where are you?)

Mannat- College se ghar jaa rahi thi socha phone karlu tujhe.
(I was going home from college. So thought I should call you)

Divya - Okayy. Nice nice. Aur bata
(Okay nice nice tell more)

Author's POV-

Their conversation continued until Mannat reached home. After reaching home she went upstairs to her room changed her clothes and collapsed on the bed. Tired from today's events she dozed off into a nap.

She woke up in the evening and then decided to help her mother serve up the dinner plates as the food was already made. Rajma Chawal 😋.

Fun fact- I love rajma chawal made by my Nani. But I don't like rajma chawal made by my mother 🙃. Any ways let's continue...

Soon time went by and her father arrived from the office. She greeted her father and then took his tiffin in the kitchen. She then called her brother from his room and they all sat down and had dinner together.

After dinner Mannat helped her mother clear up the table and then went towards her room to revise what had been covered in her lectures today. She then quickly made notes and finished up her revision and packed up her tablet and books.

Changing into her comfy nightsuit, she did her skincare and then climbed onto the bed as sleep overtook her once again.

Author's note-

This might seem a bit boring but it's a filler chapter. It talks generally about Mannat's day and how a day in her life goes. And you're gonna love the next chapter just wait and watch 😉—until then, sweeties.
See yaaa
Buh byeeee
