Teri Meri Kahani with BB

CHAPTER 6

Next day, I reached school. My diary was not in my classroom either. I have lost it! Bhuvan also wasn't there. He is absent, surprisingly! I am scared like hell, where is it, who took it? Lia bhi ho toh padho maat yaar, woh meri personal hai!
At games period, I sat on the pavement, Naima and Ridd need to go to staff room and Smriti was absent. I was watching students playing, on my left was basketball ground, on my right were cricket and in somewhere between boys are playing football.
I was waiting for my group so that we can play throwball.
"Namaste, kaisi ho?" I turned around to find Aayush, Hola ka beta!
"Hi" I fumbled.
"Idhar kyu baithi ho?" he sat beside me. I was feeling uncomfortable again. He held me a rubrics cube. "Solve karo isko?"
"I am sorry I won't!" I replied though I like to solve rubrics cube very much.
"karo na, agar nhi hua, toh tumhe ak chota sa kaam karna padega!"
"I have to go, sorry, I don't wanna solve this!" I got up but was stopped by something.
"Ruko!" he said. "Mujhe tumhe aur bhi kuch dena hai" and he put his hand in his pocket and took my diary out. My heart thumped for a second or so. I was scared like hell. This is the worst part of my life. It seems to be a nightmare.
"Bhuvan se pyaar karti ho?" he sounded rude and unapologetic.
"Nhi, me... me... meri diary wapaas do?" I begged. I did not have my girls around me. What do I do?
"Chahati ho bata du sabko?" he grined. His evil smirk was enough to scare the hell out of me.
"Please don't" I begged.
"Toh idhar aao aur baitho" I did exactly what he told me.
"Dhyaan se suno!!" he started. "Tumhe mere lia ak kaam karna hai!" my heartbeat rates faster, I was sweating profusely when, I can't give details because it just happened so suddenly, a football came from nowhere, it hit him hard and the diary fell on ground, I wasted no time to pick it up! His face turned red with the ball's imprint on his right eye.
"Sharam nhi ati Bancho, phir se larkio ko ched rha hai!" it was Banchordas!!!! He saved me! Oh, how can I thank that guy?!
"Aur tumhe Bhuvan bola na bancho, ki isse baath maat karna" he turned towards me.
"He... he... blackmailed me!"
"Blackmail karta hai, Ch**iye, @%$& ()^&$&&&$%**%#$^" he knows a huge lot of Gaalis, his vocabulary in gaali is best. He held that guy's collar. "Chal bey principal k pass, nahi toh maar k gaar dunga yehi." Banchordas pushed him hard on the ground.
With a lot of punches on his face, he got up, his shirt was unbuttoned, with messy locks, he stood, staring at me. Just then my girls also entered the scenes and I told them everything.
"Aii, larki!!!" he called me up. "Bol du?" he smirked again. I can't explain what I was going through that time, "No" I only could fumble a couple of times. I lost my voice I was not able to reply, scared like hell. No, no, no, this can't be. "Toh mera collar chorne bol iss Maderc**d ko!" he is so scary.
"Chor do!" I said exactly.
Banchordas ignored me. He was dragging him when I gather my courage and said it aloud, "Chor do use! Please, I beg you, chor do use" I was crying.
"Bancho kis bath ka badla le raha hai tu usse?" he jereked that freak with his collar. He smirked again. "Usi se puch lo." I can't say that he is blackmailing me for something that I must get for him.
Banchordas turned towards me, his sharp jawline and the locks drooping messily, scares me but this time he saved me like anything, "Kya, baath kya hai!" he shouted at me. I was scared like hell when Ridd held my shoulder. I sobbed hard, "I can't tell you, just let him go" I screamed at the top of my voice.
Banchordas pushed him hard which made him roll on the ground. he picked up the ball, "Sun be Bhos***e, agar ak aur baar dekha na mai! Toh samaj le, beta tu toh gaya!" saying he kicked the football to another of his friend. Aayush got up and smirked. He left the scene and headed towards the class.
I sighed, Ridd and Naima was beside me. "Kis baath ka blackmail kar raha tha hai tujhe? At least hume toh bol!" Ridd asked at last. Breaking the silence.
I sighed again, I rubbed my drops of tears as fast as I could, "Nothing! Chalo khelte hai!" I took the ball from Naima.
"Hey sun!" Naima stopped me. "Kya hua?"
"Nothing ree", I tried my best to ignore the matter.
"Sunna, hume toh bata!" she asked me again.
"Just lemme go!!" I screamed at them, threw the ball. I don't want to play anymore. I just want to go home. This is the worst day of my life.
Games period got over and I saw students are coming to class. I was already in class, alone. I just want to be alone for time. "Kya hua bol naa!" pestered Naima again.
"I am not in a mood to talk!" I put my head down.
"Are you crying? Or your face is naturally puffed!" giggled Naima.
"Please guys, leave me alone, well I am not crying!" I lifted my face, frustrated with that incident. I am scared, I need Bhuvan, darn that guy is absent!
"Sab thik hai Bancho?" I recognised the voice at once.
"Yeah, think so! And thanks for helping me" smiled, cupping my hands and placing the chin.
"Koi baath hai to bol do!" he said again.
"It's alright, I got my diary back, I was worried because it was my personal, thank you." I didn't say much.
"Woh launda agar phir se pareshan kare, call maar dena just!"
I smiled at him! he is not bad, not bad at all!
I reached home, took out the diary from my pocket. The lock was broken, some pages were torn, scrambled and the others were scribbled with black ink. The first five pages were gone. My diary was destroyed! I sat on my bed with that small thing in my hand. He destroyed the information I collected about Bhuvan even my childhood memories! This thing is nothing to me now, I threw it in the dustbin.
                            ***
Next day, I headed for school. My excitement turned into fear, disgrace and anxiety. Should I tell Bhuvan what I feel about him and say sorry? No, Sneha will eat me up! Should I tell my friends! No, they will rumour this? Should I tell this to Smriti, I think she will understand me!! No! argh... Genny kis musibat me padh gayi yaar! Ok you are a directioner, stay strong and keep calm!!
Classroom was rumbling with noise, generally it stays quiet, but today its full of people! I entered and Bhuvan ran to me, "Kya hua tha kal??" he asked me, wasting no time. I stumbled for a second. Looked at Banchordas and the others who were now surrounding me. "Well, he gave me a rubrics cube and told me to solve" I was only looking at Bhuvan and nobody else. "I re... rejec... rejected but he forced me."
"Sala isko toh mai..." Bhuvan stopped Banchordas with one finger.
"Then he took out my diary, you know my personal one, and bola ki tumhara diary mere pass hai, wapaas chahati ho toh mere lia kaam karo" I diverged the whole thing in my way. I don't want to confess that now!
"Tum kya boli?" Bhuvan was serious.
"I was scared, I did what he asked to do, just the moment he started, Banchordas saved me!" I smiled at that guy.
Bhuvan sighed. "Bohot badi chakkar hai iss Hola ka, iska beta Genny se kuch chahata hai!" then he turned towards me.
"Kya phir usne kuch bola?" he asked me again.
"No! but I feel that somebody is following me for two days or so"
"He is following you?" Bhuvan asked again.
"Well, I don't know, woh kar raha tha ya koi aur, but I got a creepy feeling about somebody is following me, maybe it's him!"
Just then sir entered. We all captured our respective seats, Bhuvan turned towards me, "Dekho, agar woh tumhare sath kuch bhi kare na, toh mai aapne ko maaf nhi karunga! Saari baath mai bhi nahi janta uske baare me aur tumhe bata bhi nhi sakta jo mai janta hun toh jitna janti ho uske baare me, tum mereko ho sake toh bata do, ak ak chiz uske bare me information milega toh hume maddad milegi!"
I said nothing, Bhuvan's trying to protect me!
"Genevieve!" I heard Babli sir called my name. "Aj kal bohot inattentive hoti jar ahi ho tum! Aur kya baath ho rahi hai Bhuvan se?" he asked me. I stood up quivering, "Sir" I gulped nothing. "Nothing" I only stammered. "Tumhare parents ko bulau?"
"Kya yaar haad ho gayi Bancho, sabke maa baap ko bulakar chugliya karte ho" Banchordas stood up for me. "Rooz ka r**di rona laga k rakha hai, nayi ayi hai jaane do ise"
I was quiet, listening to Banchordas. He is awesome. Sir wasn't so much amazed by this, I can feel him now. "Kya problem hai tujhe, larki larke sa baath kare toh problem, larke larke se baath kare toh bhi problem, matlab kya, kya chahate kya ho apni life me? Din raat chiraando jaisa shakaal banake chale aate ho, kya dikkat hai yaar tumhe bachcho se?!" and there was silent.
"Baitho tum!" sir ordered me breaking the silence.
"I am sorry sir!" I obeyed him.
"Next week test lunga science k savi parts ka, physics ka do chapters, chemistry ka do and bio ka do chapters. Agar koi bachcha fail kia, toh uska parents call, exam time me mai seat change karwaunga!"
After the class got over, "Yaar ab test bhi rakh dia!" Bhuvan sounds frustrated.
"Mera toh syllabus shuru bhi nhi hua!" replied Banchordas. "Iske life me problem kya hai Bancho? Bivi nhi de rhi hai toh humpe chard raha hai!"
"I'll help you!" I tried to assure them that they won't fail in this test.
"In weekends, do come to my home, I will help you in whatever way I can!"
Banchordas smiled looking at Bhuvan and the later only smirked in joy.
If I can confess something to Bhuvan when situation prevails, I got to tell him.
