Her school days

22. Darr ka mahol

The school corridor was filled with hustle and bustle. Boys were running in corridor as their crushes were chasing them with rakhis in their hands. They all mentally slapped themselves for coming to school day before rakhi. Classes were almost empty as most of the boys were absent, scared that what is they encountered with their crush and they make them their brothers.

Among all the boys was ansh who was running fastly with six to seven girls chasing him. They all had rahis in their hands and they wanted to make him their brother as he once flirted with them. He shouted while running, "ek kaam karo gale mai kas ke rakhi bandh do mere,waise bhi mujhe bhagwan ji se milne ka bhut Mann ho rha hai."

One of those girls shouted back, "rakhi toh hum bandh de gale mai but tum bhagwan ji se mil nhi paaoge kyuki tumse meeting karne toh direct yamraj aaenge."

Hearing this he Stopped at his track, turned around and showed them his hand in order to stop them. He closed his eyes proudly, his hand still in front of them.

"Agar bhagwan ji se milne ke liye koi entry fees bhi lagti ho naa tab bhi mujhe free mai entry de denge kyuki Maine kaam hi itne acche acche kiye hai life mai. Mujhe special treatment di jaaegi, and mujhe special treatment mile bhi kyu naa, mai itna bada bhakt ko hi, dekho aaj bhi teeka laga kar aaya hu. Maine toh karm bhi itne acche acche kiye hai life mai." He was bickering stupid things not noticing that the girls had already tied the rakhis on the hand that he had extended to stop them. They did it in such a smooth way that he couldn't feel the touch. Before he could open his eyes they all chimed together, "bhaiya mere rakhi ke bandhan ko nibhana, bhaiya mere apni bhen ko matt satana." Ansh opened his eyes and saw his hand fully covered with rakhis. He sighed and said, "ab rakhi bhand hi di hai toh Maan leta hu tum sabko apni bhen."

With this the bell for the first period rang. All went inside the classroom and settled on their seats. Mrs. Meenu mam entered. "Good morning mam" the children sang together. "Good morning bacho" mam also sang in response. "Now sit down stupids" she said with a big smile adoring her as always.

She looked at ansh,her ever favourite student. She smiled more and said, "wah ansh, tumne kitni bhejne banai hai aaj" she exclaimed. Ansh counted the rakhis and said, "7, iss baar toh record tod diya"

Anika shouted in response, "thala for a reason" and everyone started laughing.

Ansh looked at her direction. Suddenly he gave them a smirk and said, "mam, krish aur komal saath mai kitne acche lagte hai naa bhai bhen jaise, kyu naa komal se aaj krish ko rakhi bandwa di jaae."

Komal's and Krish's eyes widened in shock. Krish cursed in his mind, "kaisa gaddar dost pala hai, aise dost se badiya toh dushman hote hai"

Meenu mam said,"yes komal krish ko bhi rakhi bandh do"

Komal stuttered, she said, "mam mere paas rakhi nhi hai."

Anika smirked and said, "koi naa mere paas hai" she handed her the rakhi, "yeh le"

She thought, "dushman naa kare dost ne woh kaam kiya hai, isko koi pasand hota toh batati."

Mrs meenu broke her thoughts, "kya socch rhi ho, bandho"

Komal's eyes widened in horror. She stood up from her seat while thinking of some plan in her mind. She mentally cursed ansh and anika, "yeh ek dusre ke jaani Dushman mere bhi jaani Dushman bann chuke hai."

As she got no plan in her mind she held her head in irritation. Mrs meenu asked, "what happened komal"

She looked up at Mrs meenu,she said, "M.. mam... M... Mujhe chakkar aa rhe hai" with this she fell on the ground so that her acting looks real. Mrs meenu stood up from her seat.
