The beginning

It's been five months since I have appeared for university entrance exam. I have long forgotten about it and enjoying my vacation with my family. Suddenly, I received an email from the University informing that I have cleared the exam and last date for admission is on 30th June. I was neither happy nor sad about it. The University is very far from my home, it's not like I don't want to go, I was just nervous as always. I studied in a boarding school from very young age and staying away from home should not be problem for me. I have appeared for at least five exams and cleared only one, other then joining in this university I have no other option. I don't have much time left, as today is 27th of June, I need to get all the documents ready for the interview and pack my belonging. With that I left to pack up my stuff.

I have already informed my family about my new university , my brother and my father gave a positive reaction to it, but my mother was not so happy because the university is a bit far from my home. My mother is afraid something will happen to her beloved son. My mother is always like that, always worry about me and my brother. It's only natural for mother's to love, care and worry for her child.

My mother said wiping her tears, "Ron, take care of yourself, eat in time , study properly and don't get yourself into trouble"

I answered, "Ok mom. Don't worry too much I will be a good boy and I will only focus on my studies. You too take care of yourself"

With that I bid farewell to my parents, and left for the station with my brother. On the way to the station my brother said breaking the silence.

Bir, "Ron you know how mom is, right?"

"Yes, I know brother"

Bir, "So don't get yourself in any trouble, okay?"

"Okay, don't worry and tell mom not to worry. "

Bir, "Ok. I will"

Again there is silence and only our footsteps could be heard. Although he is my own brother we don't talk much. It is because we never got the chance and time to spend time with each other. He also studied in a boarding school, the chances for our meeting is very less. We used to be in a very good relationship , but with the passing time the distance between us grew more and more. Now I can only hope for our relationship to become better in the future.

As we arrived the station, he put my bag down. We exchanged few more words and bid farewell. I got on the train and picked a window seat and waited for the train to start moving. As the train started moving I put on my earphones and and clicked play on the phone. I love listening to music while enjoying the side view from the window. The trees seemed to run back really fast with the fast moving train. I have so much dream and hope about my university life, but as I was getting closer and closer to my destination, I'm getting more and more nervous. Finally after 8 hours journey the train stopped. It was around 1 PM , I was tired and hungry so I took a cab to the hotel that I had booked yesterday. After I reached the hotel I went to the counter and completed the necessary process, took the keys and entered the room. The room was not too small not too big, it was a single bed room, it was clean and bright. After that I took shower and went out to have lunch. The place is new to me, the language is different, people are different, everything about it is different from my home town but it's quite interesting and filled with positive energy. I roamed around the place and did a little bit inquiry about the place and the university. I came back to the hotel and took rest. It was already 7 PM when I woke up, I ordered for dinner and after having dinner I took out my phone and dialed my mother's number. After few rings she picked up the call.

"Hello Ron,I was waiting for your call.

Where are you now? "

"Hello mom, I'm in my room now. I was tired so I fell asleep, I just woke up and had dinner."

"Is everything okay there?"

"Yeah mom, everything is okay. Don't worry"

"Your interview is tomorrow. Right? Do your best. Good luck baby"

"Yes mom, it's tomorrow and thank you mom I will do my best. Mom I will call you tomorrow. Bye mom."

"Bye baby. Take care"

As I hung up the call I put up an alarm and went to sleep.
