Is Love Enough (SS)

"Kushi Kumari Gupta" she introduced herself to her new room mate.

Her roommate's eyes widened and she grinned back

"Gauri Kumari Sharma, from Bareilly" the girl introduced herself back, flicking her nose in total Salman Khan style and then they both burst out laughing

"Salman ji fan?? Even me" Kushi said excitedly as she took out her Salman Khan poster from her bag and stuck it to the wall

Her new room mate squealed in joy

"Hayee. What a handsome man" Gauri said dreamily looking at the poster.

"I know right" Kushi agreed

"Where are you from?" Gauri asked

"Lucknow" Kushi said

Kushi took out her devi maiyya idol from her bag and kept it on her study table and saw Gauri taking out her shankarji idol from her bag and doing the same.

Then Gauri took out her bangle stand and Kushi saw the multi coloured bangles with multi coloured ghotas and pompoms attached to it.

"You too?" Kushi asked laughing and she showed Gauri the ghotas in her dresses

"Oh my. This is starting to get creepy" Gauri said

"What is your favourite food?" Kushi asked

"Gol gappe" Gauri said

"Oh I love gol gappe too. But my favourite food item is jalebi" Kushi said and she took out a box of jalebi and they both relished it.

Kushi had joined the culinary school which was an hour away from Laxmi Nagar.

Kushi had insisted on staying at the hostel and here she is, sharing her room with a girl so similar like her.

"When Buaji meets you, she will keep her hands on her head and say hai re nandakishore ek aur sanka devi??" Kushi said imitating her Buaji, earning a laugh from Gauri.

"Come fast. The orientation class will begin now. We are having it together with the hotel management students" Gauri said hurrying Kushi towards the main lecture hall, the next morning

As soon as they entered they found so many students. All waiting for the official addressing of the university dean.

Kushi felt the light breeze skimming her skin and her heart beat picked up.

She clutched her heart and looked around frantically.

Is he here? Why would he be here?

The principal got onto the stage and welcomed the new batch.

"Now I would like to introduce our new trustee. Mr Arnav Singh Raizada" the principal said and Kushi gasped at the sight.

Her Arnav ji was walking towards the dice, in his usual brisk confident steps. As he stood in front of the microphone, his eyes zeroed in on her and the signature smirk made its appearance.

Arnav Singh Raizada addressed the new batch and gave a short inspirational speech.

"Arnav Singh Raizada? The dean mentioned he is a fashion mogul right? What does a fashion mogul has got to do with a culinary school?" Gauri asked in confusion

"Who knows? Why should it matter to us" Kushi said waving it off dismissively

She do not want anyone to know her relationship with Arnav ji.
