A love story... part 1

                                    The imposing building stands next to one of the busiest roads in the country National highway - 5 (N.H - 5) in the vibrant city of Vijayawada. With its' harrowing corridors and dark walls it creates a fear in the hearts of even the most courageous. In this building is located the IIT-JEE Intensive campus of Sri-Chaitanya coaching center. A guard guards its high iron gates with the stance of a death eater.  Oh'! who am i kidding!! (:P) the building is not imposing at all, it a three storied building built on the service road adjacent to N.H-5. Since the road lies in the interior of the city there is not much of vehicular traffic except during nights. The corridors are dark because the building wasn't built with proper ventilation (:P harrowing- ha ha ) . It doesn't even have a proper gate, let alone it being high and the guard is a lazy idiot who sleeps half the time :) . It is into this building that Bharat entered seeking an admission into the longterm preparatory course for IIT-JEE. the course is for people who have finished their intermediate and were either unsuccessful in their first attempt or were trying it for the first time. For Bharat it has always been a dream for him to get into a IIT considered to be a temple of knowledge. 
              Having failed to get a good enough rank to get a good seat in any IIT in his first attempt, Bharat decided to try his luck again in achieving his dream by giving another shot at the IIT- JEE . So, he was standing in front of this building thinking about the past two years and planning how is going to spend the next one year so as to improve his chance of getting a good rank. Having duly filled out all the forms required for the admission into the coaching center, he was shown the way to his room in the dormitories upstairs, the coaching center being a residential one. He was alloted a bed and a rack to put his stuff in. He saw that the bed next to him was already taken, bed was made and there were some bags placed already on the bed. He didnt know then that the person is going to be his best friend after that. He went about arranging all his things and his books. 
            The classes have been started and Bharat's progress has so far been smooth. But his results were very inconsistent. Some tests, he had the top marks and in some he was there somewhere in the middle. This started to worry him. Bharat has a very friendly relationship with his dad. he likes his dad a lot but doesnt show it much on the outside. He always used to keep a serious face as he liked to be all serious and like an ideal man. One day he asked his dad to come over to the campus as he wanted to talk to him about his fluctuating results. 
           The campus' visitors seats were directly infront of the vice principal's table in a very big spacious foyer of the building. Bharat's dad came to the campus and was waiting for his son to come. He had brought a surprise gift for his son, a watch!. He then noticed that a girl was sitting a seat next to him waiting for someone. He didnt know what the girl was thinking!! she was thinking "దేవుడా దేవుడా ఈ అంకుల్ నా తో మాట్లకుండా ఉంటె బావుండు ప్లీజ్ ప్లీజ్ దేవుడా !!  " (o god! o god ! please dont let this uncle talk to me !! ). Why the girl thought so , we will never know. Bharat's dad is a very talkative man. He started a conversation with the girl !! He asked her to which section she belongs to in the coaching center. After coming to know that she and her son were in the same section, he asked her whether she knew Bharat. She replied that she knew the name but didnt know who the guy was. He went on saying to her how intelligent his son is , how he took his preparation so carelessly in his first attempt to IIT-JEE, saying that he got a qualifying rank only after studying seriously for only one month. She was amazed at this man talking about his son. He looked so happy to her. She could see the happiness, the pride in his eyes when he mentioned his son's name. She became so interested in this man's feeling about his son . She was too waiting eagerly to see the son whom this man spoke so highly of. 
                        Soon, the bell went off "tringgggg......" signalling the interval between classes. Then, Bharat came with no expression on his face, the girl could see the contrast between the son's and the father's expressions. His dad handed him over the watch. Bharat didn't like it right away but even then there was no expression on his face, not even a thank you dad, I love you !! expression. The girl thought, what a son from what a dad ! . His dad then asked her for her name. She replied it is Vyshnavi. He then introduced bharat to her and asked whether he knew her, he shaked his head in approval. At that moment he didnt notice her face clearly,not to mention how stunnily beautiful she is. He didnt notice her face because he had an attitude, and thought that girls would fall only to manly guys and manly guys are the ones who look serious like mahesh babu in athadu movie.
