CHAPTER 1
"Many years, many friends,
Shared happiness, shared some sorrows,
Memories were built, many got destroyed,
But in the end, the few that I got,
Are the precious, I could never forgot."

This was the status that Reji updated on his social media accounts, on the last day of his exam.
In India, Third year of graduation is considered to be an end to students life, it's that point where students are no longer students, they are adults, they need to find a job and support their family.
Now, after third year, friendship is just a myth because, everyone will be busy building their future that, they won't get time for their friends.

Reji- a christian boy from Kalyan was calling others fool for acting like, the last day of exam was the last day on earth. But in reality, at a corner of his heart there was sadness he could never express, his heart filled with tears but, his eyes didn't. He loved a girl, whom he met in the exam hall. They used to sit together. The total time they spent together was less than 24 hours but, he fell in love with her.

He knew he was ugly, brown and wasn't very smart. But, the girl he loved was beautiful, white and very smart. But, love is blind, at least for him.

He was sad because, now he couldn't meet her. He didn't had  her contact number and she didn't even knew his name.

Reji realized that his love life will be arranged. The first girl with whom he could flirt, will be the one who would walk into his room with a glass of milk.

The next day after exam, noon.

Reji was lying in the bed. Reji's father - Mr. Pothan, walked into the room.

Pothan        "Da !! What are your future plans ?"

Reji             "What happened ?"

Pothan          "What is your future plan ?"

Reji           "Nothing."

Pothan  was shocked when he  heared that.

Pothan          "What ?"

Reji           "I don't know what to do ?"

Pothan           "You are twenty one now, don't you have a dream about what you want to be, in the future ?"

Reji          "My dream ?"

Reji cont'd         "My dream is to lie in this bed and spend my time watching TV-shows."

Pothan             "Potta !! [Meaning:- Fool, in English.] I won't allow you to sit here and spend your time looking at your cellphone ."

Reji [chuckles]                "My dad owns a cake shop, which is quite famous here. And he's planning to open two new shops in Bandra and Kurla."

Reji cont'd            "Why should I worry then ?"

Pothan           "That's my cake shop, I won't give it to you. I'll give it to your sister."

Reji          "No. You shouldn't give that to her. She will marry someone and spend her life looking after him and their children. Then why would she need that shop ?"

Reji laughs.

Reji         "She'll marry a fat Buffalo and will give birth to 6 children, all twins."

Reji cont'd           "If it wasn't for me then, why did you named that shop after me."

Pothan          "Because the dumb Marathis [People living in Maharashtra] and Biharis [People living in Bihar] don't know to pronounce my name. They'll pronounce Pottan [Meaning:- Fool, in English] instead of Pothan."

Sandra - Reji's sister, walked into the room.

Sandra        "I know I'm lazier than you but, at least I'm beautiful. I'll marry a handsome Christian guy, not a buffalo. And, enjoy my life."

Sandra cont'd         "What will you do ? Nine to Five jobs ?"

Reji [mocks]             "Ha.Ha.Ha..... Not so funny."

Pothan             "You'll marry a Christian boy ? Good. But, you can love anyone you want except a Marathi and a Muslim. "

Pothan cont'd      "I don't want the Christian population in Maharashtra to be reduced by four, because of you two.  "

Reji and Sandra laughs.

Pothan          "Reji, you do MBA ?"

Reji           "No Dad, I'm fed up of studying. "

Pothan          "Okay then, come with me to shop. You'll work there."

Sandra teased Reji from behind.

Reji         "No !!  I'll do MBA. That's better."

Pothan          "Jesus !! Why did you gave me this lazy fellow."

Sandra          "That's your fault. One child is always better."

Pothan [Chuckles]         "If it wasn't the age of Feminism, I would have killed you."

Pothan           "You both are headaches for me."

Reji teased Sandra from behind.

Mary - Reji's Mother was working in the kitchen.

Mary [yelled]            "Come, food is ready. "      

Reji, Pothan and Sandra went to the dinning table. Reji was the first to reach there.

Pothan               "Does nothing, but always first when it's about food."

Reji                "Appa [Meaning :- Father in English]. The more you are getting older, you are getting more jealous of my life."

Pothan             "I'm not jealous, I feel pity."

Pothan  cont'd        "I'm worried that I'll be the person who'll take care of your bills and pay for yours and your wife's expenses."

Mary laughs.
