Chapter 3 - A NEW DAY

" It is better to be master of hell than servant of heaven!"

- C.

My fingers were running smoothly over the keys of the big piano which was placed in front of me . The notes were getting low and high time to time . The notes which I was playing were deep , they were creating an unusual vibration in my whole body . The faster I played the keys , the deeper I dived in the sensation of the music .

" Diana, Diana are you listening? "

Jolted out of my thoughts I looked up to see who was calling me .

And there was my best friend , Grace .

Tall , slim fit body , doe green eyes , long blonde hair and just the perfect smile which can melt any guys heart .

Grace and I were friends since past 5 years , she has always been by my side no matter what , she is kind , caring and a very loving person .

"Hello , where is your mind racing today, did you heard me ?"

To be honest I had no clue what she said .

"Umm ... I am sorry , I am just nervous about today , what were you saying? "

I asked with a bright smile on my face .

"Yeah I get it , you are nervous but don't worry about it. I was asking are you excited about college today, I can't believe we are grown up now , eeee... I think , I will explode with excitement."

I giggled at her childish behaviour.

"There is mix of both excitement and nervousness."

I said , looking down at the watch clasped on my wrist I stood abruptly.

"I don't think getting late at the first day will be a nice impression ".

And with that I picked my bag and we both ran outside to the car .

Grace took the driving seat and I sat beside her , with that she started driving.

Looking out of the car , passing trees ,houses , my mind started wandering around old memories.

" Missing your dad , aren't you?"

I averted my gaze from window and started playing with the necklace which was placed around my neck .

"I am alright Grace , don't worry . Yes , I was missing few things but not in the way which could make me cry."

I simply shrugged and said , but who was I lying to , myself ?

Grace was speaking something but I wasn't able make out of it , I was thinking , I was lost in my thoughts , I was wandering in my head, trying to search a clue .

"Oh , here we are , let's go Diana , I can't wait , I can't wait."

And with this she pulled out in the college parking .

We got out of the car , a solid structured building , perfectly planted tress and plants , students everywhere , just the thing I always want to run from crowd .

"Diana , listen to me." Grace said .

I turned towards her.

"All these years , you have spent time being a girl who have nothing left to lose , I barely saw you smiling , it always seems that you are not living for yourself , you have an entire life in front of you , for once Diana , for one I want you to live for yourself, I want you to go out there and live your life like you should have long time ago . I want you to make boys go crazy , I want you to be the queen here , I want you to be yourself , for once Diana , be yourself , promise me , promise me you won't let demons of your past dictate you and your present."

She moved her hand forward for me to hold and promise her .

Should I do that ? Can I do that ?

"I promise you Grace, I will live and smile , it's true I have given complete control to demons of my past to dictate my life even in present time , but today , today is a new day and I promise I will be myself. "

As soon as I said this , Grace jumped and hugged me so tight that I wasn't able to breathe .

"OK , OK now if you want me to live you have to let go ."

And with this she parted and smiled with joy .

"Diana, you go ahead , I have to meet Mr. Potter , I will join you soon."

I nodded and we parted .

Taking a deep breathe , cleansing my mind I started walking further .

The chirping of birds , the flowing of wind , the clatter of leaves were relaxing .

I took out my phone in order to check my classes and schedule , repeating and revising classes , I was so lost in it that I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone or something .

"Sorry, sorry , I am really sorry , it's all my fault I wasn't loo- "

My apologies hanged in the air , the creature who was standing in front of me was indescribable beauty , black hair , broad shoulder, perfect body , chiseled face , deep blue sharp eyes , black attired , every inch of him was shouting devour me .

What the hell is wrong with me ?

The guy who was standing in front of me was flawless , no one in this world can pin out a single flaw in him .

He was just irresistibly perfect .

"Are you OK ?"

Jolting out of my idiotic thoughts I started stammering .

"Yea .., yeah , I , I am OK , I .. Umm ... I am sorry , it's all my mistake , I wasn't looking where I was going, I am really sorry."

Shit , why on the earth was I stammering?

"No , to be honest , I wasn't looking either , so it's my fault too , I am sorry ."

I just smiled softly because I wasn't able to form words.

There was some kind of pull between us , I got a feeling that have I seen him before or have I met him before, I was confused because the feeling was different but not foreign, it was known feeling which was lost somewhere in the past , I wasn't able to form anything out of it .

"If you don't mind , I am bit lost can you tell me where the office is , can you help me?" He asked .

"Yeah sure , you will go straight and then you will see a gallary, take turn to your right and there you will see Mr. Potter's office. " I directed .

"Thank you , and I am sorry for my clumsiness , I will be extra care full next time , till next time."

With that he left .

What was this ? I was confused.

Indeed , it was a new day !

Yes , till next time !
