3 years back
Sometimes just one wrong decision taken in a spur of moment can become a source of regret. I never wanted to take admission into this particular college, yet here I was, moving rapidly in the metro towards my alma mater which wasn't destined to be one just a few days back.
It is funny how break-up sometimes leads to such decisions that actually mess up your life even further. Rashi and I had been together for almost a year and had decided to go into the same college as well. We had chosen a nice college in South Delhi and I was pretty sure that we both will be able to get the same course as well. Everything looked perfect till the results came out. I had scored bit lower than my expectations while Rashi had bettered hers. It became pretty obvious that we won't be able to the same college together. I frantically began to search for another good college where I could take admission along with Rashi. I finally spotted a decent but not too great college in the same vicinity, but received the shock of my life when she declined going to that particular college with me since the 'latter didn't deserve her'. I never knew that a few marks could bring so much change into her and my life. I tried to convince her but she didn't agree at all. Her justification was her career and that we could meet everyday since our colleges were located in the same area.
I tried to talk with her on the final date of form filling but she refused to reconsider her decision. We had a spat and in the rage I suddenly decided to go for another college far far away from hers. I didn't even look at the details of the college properly since the fire raging inside me had robbed me of my thinking ability. We had a break up and few days later the final admission list came out. She got the college she wanted to go to and I landed in the college whose name too I didn't know. My sanity was restored by then but it was too late.
So here I am, sitting in one corner of the metro contemplating about the coming three years and thinking how boring life would be without Rashi; and how tedious this everyday journey would be for me.
