Chapter 33 : 'Koi hoor, jaise tu'

Sumedh's Pov

Immediately, Rohit sat properly and stared at my back. I turned my head and whispered, "Ritika."

I and Rohit stood up, and went towards her. I noticed that Ritika immediately lowered her lashes and looked to other direction. I narrowed my eyebrows and confusingly looked at her.

She was continuously peeking from the corner of her eyes after every 2 second. I looked at Rohit, when he cleared his throat and noticed that he gesticulated something, but I didn't understand.

I made a poker face. He rolled his eyes and whispered, "Abe, teri tshirt."

Instantly, I looked at myself with wide eyes, picked up the tshirt and wore it. Rohit started giggling while placing his hand on mouth, and Ritika was controlling her giggle.

"Tum yaha kya kar rhi ho ?" I asked embarrassingly.

"Vo, iss weekend mein fest hai na. To mujhe kuch samaan lene ke liye bahar jana tha. Warden nein mujhe Rohit ko bula kar laane ko bola hai, because isi nein kaal kaha tha ki ise bhi bahar jana hai." She said and looked at Rohit.
"Oh ! Shit. Main bhool gya, "Rohit said and held his forehead. "Ritika tum warden ko bolo ki main 5 minute mein aata hu."

"Jaldi aana. Jyada late huwe to chale jayengge." She angrily said to him. Then, she looked at me and said, "Bye, Sir."

"Bye !" I said and then, she left from there.

"Bhai, kya lene ja rha hai bahar ?" I asked to Rohit.

"Yaar last week, tailor ko ek shirt stich karne ka lea di thi. Puri shirt kharab kar di. Ab fest mein pehenne ka lea kuch bhi nhi hai, to socha jakar kuch kharid lu." He said, "Tu chalega ?"

"Nhi Nhi ! College mein bahut kaam hai mujhe. Abhi too guests ko invitation bhi dene jana hai. Aur mujhe hi jana padega." I said irritatedly. Then, I looked at Raj, who was sleeping and said, "Raj, hum room mein ja rhe hai. Teri neend complete ho jaye to apnein room mein wapas chala jayiyo."

He hummed, while sleeping. Rohit and I went back to the room. He went to bathroom, to take shower and then, left from there. I laid on the bed and slept like a dead body.

Day of Fest,
I was standing with a guitar near the stage and was waiting for my turn. A wide smile came on my face, when I noticed that Rohit and Ritika was coming towards me. Rohit hugged me tightly and wished me luck.

"All the best, sir. Main aapka song record karunggi." She said to me with a smile. I simply managed a smile in reply.

"So, our next performer is Sumedhhhhhh." I heard the announcement.

I took a deep breath, stepped on the stage and sat on the chair which was placed for participants. A boy came and adjusted the mike, when I tuned the guitar.

I gulped, and looked at Ritika and Rohit, because I was feeling nervous. I closed my eyes and memories started flashing in my mind, when I started singing.

Lafzon ke haseen dhago mein kahin,
Piro raha hoon kab se main hazoor,
Koshishein zara hain nigahon ki,
Tujhe dekhne ki ho khata zaroor,

Rohit and I were sitting in the canteen, when Ritika joined us with a wide grin.
"Sumedh sir, maine aap ke liye ek cake bnaya hai." Ritika said.

"Are waah ! Kis khushi mein ?" Rohit asked, while cutting a piece of cake.

"Inhone mujhe programming padhai thi na. To mere pure college mein highest marks aaye hai." She grinned.
