Sukh's POV:

"Who bumped into you?"
"Who is your new neighbour?" Trio asked.

"Weirdo" I replied frustrated.

It was their green signal to roll on the floor, laughing.

We were sitting in the college canteen.

It was the 10th time from morning, they were asking the same question. By now Meera, Aro and Shan knew every single details about my encounters with Mr.Weirdo, even my stupid feelings towards him. Thanks to Meera, who vomited everything without thinking!
Not to forget the end results were constant teasing and leg pulling.

"Uggghh!! Stop it guys. At least consider the surroundings. What will people think of me??" I screeched.

"Seriously Sukh! We are very sorry for our behaviour" Aro spoke.

"It's OK" I replied calmly.

"No, I'm really sorry sorry. You know what I just want to ask you a.... a... "

"Apology??" Meera added.

"No! A question Who bumped into you? And who is your new neighbour?" He giggled highfiving Shan.

In return I gave him a hard punch on his arm. Hard for me as my hand pained but for him it was, I guess a gentle poke!

"Owww! It tickles" Aro laughed.

"Ugghh! The day is getting worser for me"

Aditya's POV

Holidays!!

Everyone rejoiced at the end of the class.

Holidays!!Huh! They never had an importance in my life as unlike others I never got to enjoy them. Instead it meant more hard work for extra pay.

Income.... Which was dominated by my educational and more or less future.My basic necessities were less, unlike others  fashionable clothes and trend were luxury.

It was our puja vacations that too Durga puja. I had pre- planned to my holiday schedule that was working in a call center. Well thanks to Drijit uncle who was a pilot on my job search airways.

After lots of research Ignite Ltd. matched my expectations, enough payment,night shifts and cab pickup. Luckily they found me perfect. I joined them the next day.
What else was needed!!

kolkata,the city of joy has been known for its  enthusiasm towards Durga festival.  Every nook and corner were decorated with lights and flower,  just like a bride. While the people rejoiced and danced in the melodies tune of dhaak and shanai.
Devi Durga society(where Sukh lived and unfortunately even me) just like it's name was in a trance of celebration. A beautiful pandal was made where the beautiful gigantic idol was placed.Every evenings giant drums played rhythmically matching the conch shell's sound.

Everything around me was new and unexpectedly mesmerizing. Moreover Drijit uncle was really supportive , in this two months span he had become my second guardian after Sharma uncle. They helped me in every possible way.  Strangely Devil had spared me his  trouble. In all everything was positive.Sukh behaved normal these days even we chatted for long hours. Yes, long hours without a single fight.
Surprised right? I know.

Miracles do happen yaar!! They do.
An incident proved this.

It happened few days ago, probably chathurthi (4th day of puja). It was 10:00pm, I was waiting for my cab outside. My shift usually started from 12:00am, there was still some time. As usual drums were played loudly. Loud enough to fail the siren sounds as well. But this commotion never blocked me from  noticing Sukh. But the expectation to rejoice her beauty was exchanged with her  shouting on someone. A lousy looking boy, probably my age and then walking outside the society gate. These lousy dude even took her back. Usually i never cared but that day my consciousness warned me. Alright!a little bit of jealousy as well.
I followed her stupidly and hid behind the wall attached to gate and watched them. Luckily the paan chewer was busy in puja arrangements.

Thank god!!

Mr losy  look  was saying something which was  making Sukh  angry. What i noticed was her tears which strangely made me feel pained.
Sukh now closed her palm and was pleading dont know what but this made the boy laugh. This scene made me change his name to Mr Villain when he tried to touch her.

Enough! I shouted

At once my temper rose, I was ready to tear his hands. I marched towards them. Though I shouted like a hero these drums failed my attempt as
the guy was forcibly trying to kiss her now.
Well though I was angy but my mind was giving claps to these courageous guy.
Dude! You dared to tease a psycho.
Bravo!!

Now  with my Bollywood mode on and years of  training I acted just the way the heroes do.

My anger level automatically to  a high altitude and when i saw her swollen eyes
I felt like Hulk

Thanks to Mr Bollywood,I stupidly asked her

" Do you need my help?"

Sukh was quite but her eyes showed fear. She kept on looking me but it didn't clarify. My heroine was not acting properly yaar!

But Mr villian was full supportive  he pushed me and shouted " Get the hell out of here you! This is our problem! "
But I never cared.

I kept my gaze fixed on Sukh and now with deptness repeated "Do you need my help?"

Well the boy was constantly cursing and trying to push me and I was just ignoring him but now  sukh's  nod gave me green signal.

With a spin I gave the boy a tight slap. Hard enough to make him fall. He tried to get up , I was ready to counter back but  stopped myself.
As Sukh hugged me tightly crying hard.
Exactly like the movies, romantic tune started to play.

I was stunned but now I had to deal with the boy who by now was standing and staring us.
Well this was the moment, i prefered to show my gentle side.

So I  just  left him with a warning. Well it was a thank from my Bollywood soul for supporting me though indirectly.

Well the boy didn't wait he was clever enough to save his life as he was sure of getting beaten up by me afterwards. Thanks to my physique ;)

These things were actually less important now as Sukh was still hugging me . 

ohh how  her scent lingered on my senses and her warm breath soothed my heartbeat. And as obvious my hands pulled her into embrace.

Who knew this Durga puja might turn our Catfight into Friendship!
