(Part 3)

“Wake up Kali, time to go for a walk outside,” Sneha gently patted Kali trying to wake her up from her sleep. Kali was not in the mood for a walk today as she already sniffed the weather outside. It was raining outside and Kali hates rain! On the other hand, Sneha loves rain. She becomes romantic whenever it’s raining. All kinds of romantic thoughts come to Sneha’s mind whenever it is raining. She went to the window and started staring at the rain. Immediately she was in the other world: A world of imagination which Sneha alone knows. She loves that world because it is a fairy-tale world where everything is perfect and romantic. Suddenly, she remembered Manav. “Oh no, I forgot to add him in the Facebook,” Sneha murmured with herself. She opened her laptop, started searching for Manav’s profile, and sent a friend request to Manav.

Manav is neutral to rain. He neither loves rain nor hates it. Forgetting everything about Sneha, Manav went to the bathroom and started shaving his beard. “I must be the world’s number one handsome man,” he told himself mentally, looking at the mirror, giving a silly smile to himself! Manav is somewhat in a delightful mood today as he was invited for a lunch by one his childhood friends, Nimi.

Nimi Pokhrel and Manav Acharya know each other since kindergarten. They grew up in the same colony, went to the same high school and college. Nimi and Manav get along with each other very well. They are like BFF (Best Friend Forever!) since their childhood. Their parents also get along very well. There were no ceremonies in Manav’s and Nimi’s house without each other’s family participation. Though they lived in two separate houses, Nimi’s and Manav’s families were like one giant family. Manav’s mother always used to tease Nimi saying, “You are my future Buhari.” Nimi was small at that time and couldn’t understand what Manav’s mom was saying. She just used to ignore her, blushing and shying away from her. Manav’s mom, Lata Devi Acharya, likes Nimi a lot. Whenever Nimi comes to her house, Lata Devi treats her like her own family member.

After completing +2 from VS Niketan together with Manav, Nimi also applied to the US universities with the help of Manav. Nimi and Manav both wanted to go to the same school in the US but Nimi’s scholarship award was much higher from Oklahoma State University than from Minnesota, so she decided to join Oklahoma State. Manav went to Minnesota and Nimi went to Oklahoma. This was the first time in the history of their lives where they were physically cut-off from each other. It was a moment of sadness as well as of new opportunities for both of them.

Nimi is a sensitive girl. She is cute and adorable with fair complexion accompanied with long curly black hair which gives her a mysterious girly appearance. She has now become a nice and gentle lady who cares and who is compassionate. Nimi has completed her accounting degree from Oklahoma State and now works for a CPA firm in St. Paul area in Minnesota. She is very much excited to meet Manav after 5 years!
