This may not be a special event, but her attending the college is definitely a big one forAbhi. That means she has gathered the courage to move forward with her life and also she is thinking about her future.She also started to believe him and accepting him. If he had not dared to appear in front of her, she wouldn't have been a part of his life . He had wasted 5 years by only watching her from behind.

He still remembered the first day he saw her. It was nearly 5 years ago, in Ranipur. He has started his career in the industry and he went on vacation to that countryside because it is famous for forts. Evening 4, he was going back to his hotel room

He was not so famousback then and most of them didn't recognize him atleast in that village. He walked for a while enjoying the beautyof the forts and was about to board the local autorickshaw to return to his hotel room, when he saw a girl in her mid teens caught his attention. She wore a plain blue skirt and apink blouse with gold coloured lace. Her smile is so bright and she is the most prettiest girl he has ever seen. He fell for her then and there and she is his first love.
