Shivani was visiting her college like after 3-4 year. Ocassion was, 25th anniversary of college's Drama group she was in, in her college days. She met all her old friends who are hardly keep in touch with her now. Saw some new faces of her juniors and had lots of fun there. It was the terrace of the college building, where they used to run Drama group. It used to be her favourite place. As she was roaming in that terrace. She hit a nostalgia. So many memories just rushed to her. “How can one lifeless architecture, bring back so many lifefull  of memories to me!” She wondered. 

         As Event ended, she also walked towards the exit like others. Even while walking down from stairs, she reminded, how she used to run down from this stairs to just get home fast. She was in her thoughts and she think that, she saw a familiar face in crowd, she doesn't met in Event earlier. To catch him, she almost run down from stairs, leaving 2 steps at a time. As she got close to him, she suddenly loosed her balance and tripped almost on him, in a blink of eye he grabbed her bag with one hand and her left hand's wrist with his another hand. They seats right there in the corner of the stairs as they took some breathe of relief.

               He looked at her and said, “So you still didn't learned to Walk properly. You still just hope around, didn't you!” She said smiling, “well, Thanks for heroic act you just showed now sir. But man! Where were you, I didn't saw you at event in Drama group. It's so long, what were you doing unit now. Are you still working for Drama group. Man! You have changed so much in this days. I barely recognised you. How you doing?” Before he answered any her questions, they heard a voice calling him. So, she said, “Hey, you may just go and check first, I'll wait for you here. No worries.” So he stand up and went in hurry. 

             She thought, “How much he have changed. As far as she remembered, Shubham was a thin guy. Who used to seat in a one corner of terrace, alone. He used to ware some poisonous coloured (it means, bright yellow, dark red, etc) T-shirts which are plus sized for him. And he generally looked like walking ‘cloth hanger’ in them. And now, it looked like he had found himself a fairy godmother. He is wearing Jacket from H&M collection. Gain bit mussels for himself and really looking sharp then before. The only thing not changed about him is, he was too shy to talk and still you can sence that a bit in him.” 

        She stands up as she saw him walking towards her. He came in front of her and said, “hey, meet Vishakha, my girlfriend. And sorry i forgot your name.” He said that without smiling. It was awkward for Shivani. But she smiled at both of them. And stretching her hand towards vishakha she said, “hey, nice to meet you vishakha. I am one of his old friends, we were in a same batch in Drama group. And you might be our junior. If I am correct.” then Shivani looked at shubham and said, “and if you have forgotten my name it might be not that important. So I don't bother to tell you that again.”  Then she said to both of them, “ So, I am leaving now, it's already late guys.” To lessn the awkwardness in that air vishakha said, “oh we are leaving too, let's just go together atleast until the main gate. Just wait, I'll grab my bag quick.” 

              As vishakha leaves, there was again a awkwardness in the air between Shivani and shubham. No- one speaking a word. Shivani was actually furious couse, “shubham was the first guy who had proposed her in her college days. And now he is not even remembering her name… !”
