"Marry me."
Two words. Two people. Two different situations.

The aloo paratha was not as tasty as mumma makes it. But this was college, not home, and I had to adjust to whatever I got.
After breakfast, I walked around the lawn for a bit, before returning to my room.
The lawn was bordered by periwinkle of various colours and some other yellow and red flowers whose names I did not know. I planned to look it up after work.
The lounge was on the ground floor of the hostel, near the entrance. It was open by the time I reached there. I went inside.
The shopkeeper was still setting up the things. Seeing me, she stopped and approached me, "What are you looking for ?"
I looked around for things I would need in my room - a mattress, bucket and mug, a lock for my almirah and a set of hangers.
She went to get all those things while I looked around for anything else that could interest me.
I found a bunch of Keychain, out of which I picked up a red teddy bear. "Cherry." I named it.
I also got a few soap cases and pen stands.

I found the room open when I reached. I lightly pushed the door open, as my hands were full.
There on the other side of the room sat a girl, her black hair curly like Merida from Brave. She was on her phone. She looked up, hearing the "thud!" of the door hitting the wall.
Oops! I guess the push was not as light as I thought.
"Hello" I said, "I am Ipshita, you ?"
"Aisha." she looked at the items in my hand, "Is the store open ?"
I nodded as I put all the items on the bed.
She left the room, most probably to buy her own things.

I was halfway done when Aisha returned with her own stuff from the store. We both got to work, having little conversations in between. I learnt that she was a year older than me, and was from Kanpur. She was also an only child like me
The sun had set by the time we were done. We had worked continuously since morning, only pausing to get lunch.
At lunch, we met a few more students from the same floor in hostel - Siya from Gujrat, Kavita from Haryana and Ananya from Rajasthan. We talked about our schools, old friends and family and planned dinner together before we all returned to our rooms.
