'Wake up!! Wake up!!', Hari was alarming in my ear
In someway, he was successful. Soon after woke up, I had an urgent leak. I ran out to washroom as if some dogs bit my back. To my luck washroom was empty as no one hadn't woke up or even maybe have bathed up and left the hostel. My aim was fulfilled and soon I went to my room. Hari was busy selecting a pair for that day, somehow he hooked on something whereas Rohan was still snoring, then my mind struck, Hari was shouting in both of our ears and interrupted my Roman king dream.
'I was just about to get the crown yaar....', I grumbled
'What? What crown? Which crown? Whose crown?', Hari blabbered
'Nothing, leave it', I said thinking that I would make Hari my slave or fry him in hot calorie-free oil
'Baby I love you, I won't repeat it anymore, sorry baby....', Rohan was shouting in offline mode
'Idiot, wake up!!', Hari said pouring water in his ears
'Aah!!, you asshole!!', Rohan shouted while waking up, 'Who did that?', Rohan asked
'Me!', Hari shouted spontaneously
'Acha! Wait I'll show you more baby', Rohan said picking up his bottle
Water games went on for five minutes or so...
'I am going for bath', I uttered and left the room
Both of them followed me quitely without uttering a word.
'Abey kutte! Tu bahar ah paheli! Mera system overload ho raha hai yaar!!!', someone was shouting when we entered so-called washroom chamber
'These common-washroom system suck', Rohan was saying
'Correct a gaa...(it meant it was right in telugu)', Aakash said joining our Q
Soon after our washroom-battle we changed and were on our to college.
'Eroju evaro Malayali ammayi mana branch join avtundi anta(it meant some Malayali girl would join our branch)', Aakash said to me
'Niku yela telsu?(it meant how do you know?)', I asked Aakash
'Someone was shouting near washroom', Aakash replied
I didn't mind it much, soon Hari and Rohan wove a bye to us as their class was in other block.
ᑕᒪᗩᔕᔕ-ᖇOOᗰ
Lecture and lecturer both were boring asusual. My mechanical brain was trying hard to gain some control but couldn't. All of a sudden...
A beautiful girl, 'May I come in sir?', She asked with beautiful her lips rounding at every word she uttered. She looked fair, medium waist and of medium height. Her eyes were so beautiful so that it may catch anyone's attention.
'Yes, you may', Mud head replied with his most idiotic tone
I saw her. She caught me seeing her. Soon I pretended to read my notes. She just came and stood beside me. I didn't say anything but instead I was busying looking at her curly hair which was dropping on her forehead.
'Excuse me, would you mind....', She was saying but I interrupted her by saying 'I wouldn't mind...' and I stood up
'Duffer! Move aside!', Someone from back shouted
Soon I returned to the reality and said 'What do you want?'
'There is no place anywhere else. Can I sit beside you?', She asked with her beautiful voice
Actually Aakash and I had kept our bags in middle chair. Aakash realised and took our bags and kept it aside. He pulled me towards his left and I sat on middle chair while she sat in my chair towards my right. 'She is the Malayali girl I was talking about', Aakash whispered in my ear.
Mud head was watching all this and shouted, 'I don't have whole day! Adjust yourselves fast!' and again turned towards the board
After 2 minutes, her mobile rang shouting some Malayali song, 'maangalyam....bla bla...something something'
She was tensed as her rang in the middle of a class.
Mud head spotted her while she trying to hide and switch off her phone and asked her to go out.
She went off the class crying. I saw her and stood up for no reason.
'Why are you standing?' Mud head grumbled
While Aakash was pulling my shirt to make me sit but it was out of reach. I was in no mood to listen to anyone
'You too get out!', Mud head shouted
I too went out and thought of going to her. Ofcourse I don't mind girls but still I was somehow mesmerised by her. I couldn't find her near the class. I was bit worried and somehow on searching I found her at Cafeteria. I straight away went to her. She was drinking a frooti then. She saw me coming and started laughing uncontrollably.
'What happened?', I asked with a face a 5 year-old child
She controlled her laughter and said 'I expected this to you even before me'
'You expect me to be out?', I protested
'No yaar, I didn't mean that way', she said and continued, 'The way you were behaving was clearly saying you were flattered on seeing me'
'Nothing of that sought!', I said and turned back without anymore eye contact with her.
'Sorry, sorry yaar, I never meant to hurt you', She said
'Either way', I said and walked away. She pulled me back and said 'I said sorry'
'I heard that', I said bluntly
'Seriously sorry yaar, I didn't expect you would react like this', She apologised
'Chalo, leave it, sorry accepted', I said with a smile
'Your name?', She said
'Oh ya! I'm Madhav and you?', I replied
'Nithya', She said and smiled
Then suddenly everything dimmed around me, there was Aarthi in front of me. I was lost in her. I couldn't see anything except her. I remembered what I promised myself. I was again doing or about to do what I shouldn't do. A girl can suck your life to an extent that it doesn't leave even last drop of blood in you. I decided to have a move on but what was I doing? My heart started hitting me from inside.
'Wooh! My mind is clear on what I should do', I thought
I wanted to get away from her as fast as possible.
'Ok yaar, you carryon with your frooti I'll catch up later' I said and moved away to maintain minimum contact with her.
'Ok, bye and you are from?....',She was saying but I ignored her and left the place
To be back with my senses I decided to take a walk around the campus thinking I'm the "out-standing" of our class, no?
My heart was saying yes to me in a pretty low voice or sought of it
I was walking and wondering, 'Why was I walking? When there's summer on my head and sun drinking my freshness from the top'
After my battery was on its last point, I decided to rest somewhere. There were some trees all around and the irony was each tree was six-feet away from each other. In the shade it was bit refreshing as some cool breeze was on. From there I could see library, so after a few minutes I decided to have a look on it.
ᒪIᗷᖇᗩᖇY
L-I-B-R-A-R-Y it was written on it with big bolded letters. The building was shaped like doom from above. It was something like small sized Whitehouse without any extra fittings and big compound wall. I went in and saw that it was actually a two-storyed building from inside. But it didn't have a floor though, we had to use ladders for our reach. There was person sitting in chair or maybe lying in the chair probably.
He didn't have any movement and just looking at newspaper alone forgetting about the world around him. I expected him to be dead but my expectations ruined when some girl asked him if she could borrow a book he bent back on his rocking chair as if he just woke up from sleep. Oh wait that girl, I have seen her somewhere.
Oh shoot! She was Lasya, girl from my school. She maybe from our school but I didn't knew her much. An occasional "hello" or "thanks" was all that I did. She was girl who would sometimes overreact for small situations. Keeping in mind of my ethics, I pretended not to see her and turned back to step out but she shouted, 'Hey!!, come here'
I didn't have any choice so I went into her.
'Hey, you? Hi', she said and I was about to give her a handshake but she interrupted by saying, 'Give me your card I forgot mine'
I didn't understand a single word she was saying. I was about ask, 'Which card' and all that. But someone from back gave a card. I was stunned and turned back. I was shocked to see Priya over there. 'Hi Madhav', she said
'F-u-c-k!!', I thought. I was such an idiot of mistaking Lasya to call me. All I wanted was to escape from her and now I'm struck in ditch which I planned for someone else.
'So, you too know him, eh?', Lasya asked Priya
'Oh ya, He is friend of my friend', Priya replied
'Pretty big relation huh?', Lasya said and both of them started laughing
'What the heck was so funny?', I thought
'Silence! Silence!', Dead man shouted actually Half-dead
'Which branch?', Lasya asked
'ECE', I said
'Oh, I'm in mec and this is my mobile number', Lasya said and gave me a paper with her number
'Okay then, catch you guys later', I said and flew from the place
Mud head's class was over by then so I went and joined Aakash
'What were you doing outside, man?', Aakash asked as soon as I came
'Geographical study', I said and teased him
All classes completed and we were on our way to hostel. We had lab the next day and we had to buy some tools for it. So, I had to go out of the campus to buy them. I enquired with professor, where to buy and all that. We had monthly three outings and had to come to hostel before 9:30pm. So we decided to go fast, as soon as college was over. Aakash had already bought them so I thought of goint with Hari or Rohan. Both of them declined at first but said yes after sometime. Both wanted to come, so I couldn't speak anything. Soon we were off from college.
