Karrisa’s POV
Reaching
the university and viewing the dream coming true seems like another dream to me.
It was a huge campus and I must say the pictures they have on their web never don’t
do justice to the grand view and infrastructure they actually have. After
reaching inside the campus, I have been dropped near the administrative block,
where I had to meet the head of the department. And meeting the most polite,
co-operative and a true gentleman was another good thing happened to me. I was
really delighted to know that I have got the best things and also that now I am
on the right path in my life.
After a
brief meeting with the head, which mostly involved the paper work and other
pending formalities related to my admission into the university, I have been
directed to my hostel room. And even a better thing was in store for me. I have
not only been allotted a big room, which I do not have to share with anyone, but
also I do not have to adjust with anything related to space, temperature etc. inside
the room. It was just perfect. It really seems that the things have started to
fall in place and everything good will follow now.
It’s
been two weeks in the campus and I am coping up well with my classes and other
assignments. All thanks to the most humble and understanding faculty of the
university. But all that I miss, among rest everything perfect around, is the
company of someone with whom I can share things, with whom I can talk about
things other than classroom and studies, with whom I can roam around in the
city, with whom I can feel like home. That someone, that friend was missing
till now. And somewhere I know that it is only because of my present mindset
and attitude towards life. It is me who doesn’t want to trust anyone anymore, I
was reluctant to be close to anyone and to share the things beyond classroom
was not at all a possibility anymore. But I guess that was natural as I have
gone through a lot in the past and I never wanted the same things to happen to
me again. And it was getting difficult for me to change myself with each
passing day. So I guess this will be my fate for the time to come where in I have
to learn to adjust to the situations, handling them alone and going through the
lonely phase in life now.
It’s a
pleasant Sunday morning but not that pleasant for me as I am in my hostel room
alone, thinking that it would have been great to have someone’s company to
spend a weekend with. Because it seems even more alone and lonely when you have
no classes to attend and you are too punctual to submit all the assignments on
time. And when I was in my thoughts, there was a knock on the door, suddenly bringing
me back to the real world.
I went
and open it and saw the guy who uses to take care of the common area of our
hostel, standing stiff and straight just in front of me. He came with the
message that there is a phone call for me on the common landline. I had to
confirm from him twice if the call is for me or for someone else. But he was
sure that it was for me.
It made
me wondered that it was for me because there is no one, YES NO ONE, who could
have called me as I don’t know anyone around and my parents are travelling and
also there is no one I could think of, in this whole wide world who knows about
my coordinates and this number to get in touch with me. With all these
thoughts, which were shocking and surprising at the same time in my mind, and
all those confused expressions, quite well visible on my face, I proceeded
towards the common room to receive the call from possibly someone unknown.
