For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe. The person whom my eyes longed to see was in front of me. My beautiful angry queen was looking hot in her black blouse and skirt. My eyes moved from her toes to her face and stopped on her face. Her body was curvy. She had flesh in the right places. Her doe-like big eyes were accentuated by kohl. My eyes stopped at her soft pink plump lips.
How would my lips feel on her lips? Oh my God, I'm becoming a pervert.
I slammed my head and closed my eyes to calm my heart which was beating erratically. The moment I opened my eyes, she was gone. Was it a dream? My friend waved his hand in front of me, thus bringing me out of my dreamland.
" Back to earth buddy. What were you thinking? Is it about some girl?" He chuckled and dragged me to the hall. Everyone was busy talking and enjoying themselves. I spotted my sister with her friend.
The voice boomed through a loudspeaker and attracted everyone's attention.
"Good evening to everyone present here. I welcome all the new students to our college and would hope that you enjoy your time here. As you can see there is a bowl on the table containing some slips. The girls would go and pick up the slip. A name is written on the slip. You will call the name and then go and stand next to the person whose name is on the slip. After that, each pair would be given a newspaper and you have to spread them and dance on it with your partner keeping in mind that if by chance you step out from the newspaper, you both would be disqualified. With every pause in the music, you have to fold the newspaper. The winning couple will be awarded the title of Mr Fresher and Miss Fresher. Am I clear? Put your hands together and welcome our college band to perform for you all.`` We all started clapping and cheering. Before the game started the band played a parody song. It was so good that our hands and feet automatically moved with the beat.
The picking up of the slip started. The girls were picking up the slip. I was praying to the heavens that my angry queen would pick up my name. My heart rate increased when I saw her going to the table. Raghav Rathor. She called my name. My heart somersaulted. I was on cloud nine. She came and stood near me. With all my strength I was trying to control myself from doing something which I would regret later.
All of us started dancing in the newspaper. After a while, the paper left was very small and only two of the couples were left. The music started and I lifted my anger queen from her waist and started whirling her. Everyone hooted and clapped for us. The other couple was disqualified. We were the winners. My anger queen started dancing in excitement. Her eyes were twinkling. She hugged me in excitement. Thousands of roses bloomed in my heart.
A sash with the words Mr. and Miss Fresher was confined to us and we danced as the winning couple. Her smell was driving me crazy. She was so close yet I couldn't do anything. I was keeping a check on myself.
Anger Queen Pov
I was collecting my drinks when I felt someone's eyes on me. On turning my jaw dropped. He was looking majestic in the blazer. The top two open buttons gave a view of his smooth-toned chest. Our eyes met for a second and before he caught me ogling at him, I ran away from there.
We were enjoying it a lot when the anchor told us about the game. It was my turn to pick, I hoped that I would pick up his name slip. I read aloud Raghav Rathore. I was on cloud nine when I came to know who the person was.
My heart started thumping loudly. We started dancing and when it was the last fold, I thought we would lose now. The instant music started he lifted me from my waist and started twirling. My hands were on his shoulder. Heat crept on my face. I was thanking my stars for wearing a long straight skirt, otherwise, I would have been embarrassed. We were announced as winners and in excitement, I hugged him. The rest of the evening passed quietly. I was unable to meet his eyes because of my actions earlier. The evening ended happily.

" Prince, you can now walk with the help of crutches. Be careful not to stress too much. Otherwise, you are fit as a fiddle. Sir, I will take my leave now." The doctor got up, after checking me.
" Thank you, doctor. " Dad thanked the doctor and was happy about my progress.
" Dad, now that the doctor has allowed me to move, I think I should visit the office for some time."
"But son."
"Dad, please. I'm fed up with sitting at home. Don't worry I will not stress myself and will return soon. Please, Dad." I tried to convince Dad and made a face. I kept my head on his shoulder.
" I will have to give up when you are behaving like your daughter. Please be careful. My heart is too weak to take another shock. You are my first child and I love you so much." ``Dad caressed my face and pulled me in a hug.
" Promise me, son, whatever happens, you won't ever leave me," Dad spoke in a distant voice. His voice was laced with many emotions. Tears brimmed from his eyes.
" Dad, what is the matter? Is something bothering you or is there something I need to know?" I wiped my father's tears.
" Nothing to worry son. I think I'm getting old. I hope to see you married and settled down again before my eyes close."
" Dad, please don't say such things. As for settling down again, it is nearly impossible. I can't give Ankita's place to anyone, moreover, who will marry a man with a child? I don't want a stepmother for Kavya."
" Son, not all people are the same. You deserve a second chance. Kavya needs a complete family. My friend has twin daughters. They are studying at present. If you agree then I wish to have one of his daughters as my daughter-in-law."
"Let them complete their studies first. In the meantime, I will think about your advice." Dad patted my shoulder and went away.
