#6- Ragging Gone Wrong

“Listen you, main tumhare saath gaane nahi wali. So I make my own melody, and you make yours. And I’m sure tumhe classical toh definitely nahi aata hoga.” She replied confidently on his face.

“Oh how can I forget, I have an Asha Bhosle here and not Taylor Swift.” He said making a face.

“Oh how can I forget, I have a giraffe here not Atif Aslam.” She said copying him.

“What?” he said, and then shouted when he realized she called him a giraffe. “Listen you-“

“You guys are still here?” Raghav came from behind and ordered them to stop their fight and start their work.

“Aww, sir denied your request baby. Now we need to sing together? How sad.” Manik said in a cheesy voice and she sighed.

“Yes. So we pen down the lyrics first. You-“

“Itni jaldi maan gayi? Wow.. I thought mere marks bhi gaye.” He said and looked away.

“I don’t compromise on my music. So now shall we?” she asked and he nodded. “So now you pen down words, and I’ll do the same. Keeping both the genres in mind we-“

“Oh hello, what? Tumne rock suna hoga, do you think I listen to classical?”

“And you think I listen to rock?” she scoffed.

“Ofcourse not, that’s why we should bring our instruments together and catch with the tunes. That’s how two genres come together. Fusion?” he explained and she nodded. “Great, so which instrument?”

“Umm... where will I get the instruments but?” she asked.

Manik was about to reply when a thought struck his mind. She doesn’t know the library.

Superb!

“Come I’ll show you.” He said and forwarded his hand, she hesitated before giving in.

Manik messaged something to Mukti. They both reached to the other side of the college and Manik showed her the door to the hall where fab 5 usually practiced. It was also a setup for their targets once in a while.

“Are you sure? Yeh koi music library nahi lag rahi.” Nandini said.

“I’m here since a year, itna toh pata hoga na mujhe.” Manik replied making a duh face.

Nandini went and opened the door to see the hall lighted up. She took a few steps inside and saw it was a hall, as she thought.

“Manik, yeh toh…” she turned around to see Manik not there. She was about to move towards the door when it got shut. She got a bit worried and tried opening the door but it was locked. The lights of the hallway dimmed suddenly. She got frightened and started banging the door.

Manik, Mukti and Alya were standing outside enjoying. They had used their best setup on her, frightening voices echoing inside the hallroom. Flickering lights, dropping of curtains, mechanical hands; Nothing less than a Hollywood horror film. Whenever they used this, either the victim has peed in his pants, or fallen unconscious.

No surprise, exactly what was happening inside the hallroom, the lights flickered, the frighteneing echoes filled the hallway. Nandini was in tears, shaking, frightened. They could hear her screams from outside.
Nandini was petrified, she understood it was his trap, and now she needed to use her right mind to get herself out of this situation.
Being a science student, and the incharge of almost every function in her school had its perks. She knew, that the system control room is usually inside the hall itself. She carefully ran towards the backstage, and found one rusted door slightly open with a little light inside. Running towards the system, she studied the controller for few seconds and managed to stop the flickering of lights.
She was so engrossed in her fear as well as to stop the horrifying noises that she didn’t realize she had banged shut the rusted door, and that there was just a dim bulb inside the small dusty place.
