Part 30

Hey guys, back with another update...Happy Reading!!!

3 WEEKS LATER

All the cadets had been called into the hanger area. Today was the day that would decide whether the cadets were gonna continue their journey in the academy or not. The cadets stood in anticipation waiting for the trainers to arrive. 

'Sumanji ko toh bohot darr lag raha hai.' 

'Humme bhi atyant ghabrahat ho rahi hai, humaare serial maa ke poot ke episode 316 mai-'

'Oh come on Premji #no maa ke poot re-run.' Chitra said crossing her fingers in anticipation of the results.

'Aur nahi toh kya Premji, yaha humaare left right hawa tight ho chuki hai aur aapko maa ke poot ki padhi hai.' Bala said irritatedly, while Premji gave an offended look.

'Chill Bala ji bro chill.' Sid said trying to sound calm even though his face was ridden with anxiety.

'Sid sahi keh raha hai, let's keep calm. Exams hogaye hai aur results bhi unhi basis par aayenge, and humme marks unhi basis pai milenge. And aap sab ne hi kaha tha na ki kuch papers ache gaye the aur kuch nahi. So what's done is done.' Koel said firmly.

'Koel is right guys. Joh hogaya so hogaya abhi hum sirf results ka intezaar kar sakte hai.' Monami said giving them an encouraging smile.

The group nodded, trying to calm their nerves down. They stood back in their lines facing ahead. KaRam, SanZi entered the hanger area. Their faces straight and laced with seriousness. All the cadets clicked their toes in respect to their trainers.

'I hope aap sab ko patah hoga ki hum yaha kyu mile hai.' Karan asked sternly.

'Yes sir.' the cadets voice in unison.

'So without further delay, let's announce the results.' Faizi said.

'Sanju' Karan called out and she stepped forward.

'Saare cadets, humme batane katayi khed ho raho hai  ki tum saare jhingooro mai se saare jhingoor ghar na jaa raho hai.' Sanju said solemnly.

'Kya?' Sumanji asked shocked. 

'Yeh toh bohot hi bura samachaar hai.' Premji said his face distraught.

'Lo gayi bhes paani mai.' Bala said slapping a hand to his forehead and crouching to the floor shaking his head in misery.

'Bala ji bro, baat toh samjh le yaar pehele.' Sid said pulling Bala back on his feet by catching the back of is collar. 

'Kya samjhu Sid bhai ji, Sanjana madam ne toh bol diya ki saare jhingoor ghar na jaa raho hai.' Bala said disheartened.

'Bala ek baar phir se bolo, and slowly bolo.' Koel said trying to get him understand.

'Arrey kyu dil dukha rahe hai.' Bala said making a crying face again.

'Abbey bol na yaar.' Sid said hitting the back of his head in exasperation.

'Paap lagega aap sab ko ek masoom se aese buri cheez karwa rahe ho.' Bala said.

'#Tu bolega ki ek du?' Chitra said raising her arm to punch him.

'Aye hashtag bol raha hu, Sanjana madam ne yeh kaha saare...ke...saare jhingoor...ghar naa..jaa raho hai.' Bala repeated her words slowly.

'Ab samjha tu Bala?' Monami asked happily with a smile.

'Kya ki hum mai se koi wapas nahi jaa raha hai?' he said blatantly when the tube light in his brain flickered on. 'Kya humme se koi ghar wapas nahi jaa raha? Iska matlab hum pass hogaye?' Bala asked eyes wide in surprise.
