My Friend

Am I Devil?

Laksh's Pov:

After an emotional talk, we both are disturbed by Raj bhai's voice.

" are you both talking like that or you both come and help me in cooking" Raj bhai asked us.

We see each other" we are coming"

I walk towards kitchen and I see a painting , remembered whatever I say.

" one of the worst painting which I bought" Raj bhai snapped me.

"what? Look at this painting bhai. how well It shows emotion? You are saying worst, bad bhai" I asked him and try to make over.

" yesterday night, the one who drawn it told me that it's his worst piece and I am a fool to buy this painting" Raj bhai smirked.

Well! I perfectly trapped. I raised my both hands on air and signs I accepted my defeat and say sorry through my eyes.

" what are you talking? I can't understand anything" Sanskar asked us in confusion.

I pleaded raj bhai not to tell through my eyes.

" hmm!" Raj bhai tensed me." nothing Sanskar" Raj bhai told. I feel relaxed. I didn't want to reveal this identity to anyone.

I cut veggies while Sanskar kneads wheat flour well and Raj bhai make Rajma. Sanskar and me threads the floor and finally we made chappathis. I thanked maa for taught me to cook.

We trio eat together and we leave to college. I checked my phone . there are so many missed calls form Amrit.For my goodness, classes starts on 11 o clock. Still, I have one and half hour time. I entered into hostel. But scenario was different. I ran to my room. Here some professors are standing infront of room and some boys tries to wake up Amrit. Amrit. What happened to him?. My hostel met said that warden comes for raid and he caught Amrit in drunken state and some hot drink bottles in terrace.

I know Amrit never drink. Even he hate smoking. He told me once.

" I will take care of him" I told professors.

" tell him, to meet principal. At afternoon, he have an enquiry" Professor told me. now I am scared. If he didn't prove him innocent, he may lose scholarship and even he may dismissed from college.

Laksh, what can you do? Think... oh! I think he tried to call me for inform this incident. I sit with a thud and stared Amrit. I failed as a friend to save him.

Amrit starts to wake up.

" Amrit.." I called him. he hold his head because of pain.

" what happened yesterday , Amrit ?" I asked him.

He nodded his head down.

" what happened yesterday? Tell me dammit." I exclaimed in frustration.

He stare me with moist eyes. What you did Laksh? he already in trouble. Now you increase his pain.

"Amrit..." I called him and put my hands in his shoulder.

"they forced me Laksh, they forced me" Amrit said while sobbing.

" that seniors who ragged you" I asked him. he nods no.

"then" I asked him.

" my class mates" he told me.

I shocked"what? Why?"

"yesterday, you didn't come at night after 11:00 . I scared. I try to call you. but there is no signal. I went to terrace and called you. you didn't left your phone. At that time, I see my classmates are drinking. I tried to stop them. but they overpowered me. they made me forcefully drunk that I shouldn't inform to others about them" he said with so much difficulty.
