The Mumbai Teens (Completed)

The New Members

A month has passed. The Mumbai Teens, which now consisted of 5 members now, is doing a commendable job. A few days ago it saved a college girl from getting accused as Drug Seller. The work of The Mumbai Teens is just "hatke". They never disclose themselves but write the solution, or the culprit or the real incident on the front board of the office, attached with all the proofs and other evidents. Everyone is impressed with the group. But everyone's question: "Who are the Mumbai Teens?"
When Sourabh or Sumedh or Paarth or Pooja or Erica hear their group's praise from the other students they become so proud and happy.
The 5 of them sat in the canteen. Sourabh sitting beside Pooja and Paarth beside Erica. Sumedh's next chair remained empty..
"Ab tu bhi dhoond le kisi aur ko, Sumedh." Paarth said to Sumedh.
"Arre main bhi to baitha hun na dhoondne ke liye. But kisi main woh baat nahi.." Sumedh quirked.
" Ab koi pat nahi raha hai, to yahi bolega na.." Pooja joked.
"Bas bhi kijiye di, Mr Fresher hun main, kuch toh respect dijiye." Sumedh replied.

"Arre chill, chill..Sumedh ko bhi miljayegi koi jo uske taunts seh sake. Aur phir dekhna, sabse zyada gulu gulu uska hi chalega" Sourabh spoke..
Everyone laughed including Sumedh.
"Sahi kaha, Suvi bhaiya" Erica said.

All of them went to their respective lecture rooms. Sumedh was scribbling some thing on the bench, when this happened. It was Economics lecture time. The subject he had no interest in.
The college head entered the room followed by a pretty, sweet girl.
"Attention here students!", Mr Verma,the president exclaimed. "Meet Sanskruti, she is new here. Her father got a transfer to Mumbai and so she joined the college late. But she is an intelligent student. She will pick up all the things that she is lagging behind. And I hope, you will support and help her out. Sanskruti, go find your seat."

Sanskruti once looked at all the students of the class. She smiled to herself and went towards Sumedh. Sumedh was looking towards her. He felt that he has been casted a spell. A magic spell which he enjoyed. He gazed at Sanskruti untill she gave him a stir.

"Hey are you ok?" Sanskruti asked.

"Ummm, Yes..Hi, Sumedh Mudgalkar."

"Sanskruti Balgude. Ab hat bhi jao, baithne nahi doge kya."

Sumedh blushed a bit and shifted to his right. Sanskruti sat beside him.

"Kaafi fast ho tum.." Sumedh taunted. He always does that. Sumedh- The TauntMaster..

"21st century main, agar tum hum ladkiyo ko slow hona expect kar rahe ho, then you are a dumbass. Mera kya hai, 2x main bhi chal jau.." Sanskruti laughed when she trolled Sumedh  back.

Sumedh was impressed. It was the first time, a girl trolled him back. "Bandi mil gayi" He thought to himself.

" Friends?" Sumedh asked..

"No."

Sumedh became upset. 

"Best friends?" Sanskruti asked..

"WOW! That was quick" 

Sumedh was confused. He thought that being best friend is a good way to get friendzoned. But anyways, it was a good start. Sanskruti was a "dhamaal" girl..She was fulltoo different. Sumedh had seen very few girls who were Self Sufficient and so confident yet jolly and decent. He wanted to introduce her to his team.

"Will you meet my friends?" Sumedh asked

" Surely. Why not?"

"Cool"

After college Sumedh introduced Sanskruti to "Mumbai Teens". Everyone made her feel so comfortable.

" Hi, Sanskruti, I hope you are not getting irritated by Sumu's trolls." Paarth said.

"Babare, main kya troll karu use, isne to mera muh hi band kar diya.." Sumedh said.

" To yeh bandi tujhe tight degi.."

Everyone including Sanskruti gave a hearty laugh..

"It was nice meeting you all. Main roz ap logo se milna chahungi."

"Anytime" Sourabh smiled sweetly. Sourabh's smile was so sweet that Pooja gazed at him which made Sourabh blush..

 "Sanskruti, I am dropping you home." Sumedh said.

"Pehle din kuch zyada hi sweet nahi ho raha? Aplog hi boliye, Sumedh ko trust karu?" Sanskruti asked in tone of suspicion and joke.

" Ha bilkul, trust kar sakti. But it is better if you stay cautious. Yeh kuch bhi kar sakta hai" Pooja replied, that made Sanskruti laugh.

"Wah di! Thappad aur compliment dono eksaath!" Sumedh chuckled..

On the way back home, when Sumedh was driving Sanskruti to her house, He wanted to tell her about "The Mumbai Teens". But he could not do that untill Sourabh permits him. Instead he asked:

"Apne baare main kuch bata"

"Ummm, kya batau? I know myself the least. Tu kuch din ruk mere saath tujhe mere baare main pata chal jayega..Tu bata kuch."

" Am Mr Fresher and Single. Bas itna hi.."

Sanskruti gave him an awkward look..

" Ok, kal se mera project, tujhe observe karke tere baare main janna.."

"waah! Main to celeb ban gayi..Paparazzi huh?"

Both laughed frankly while the car stopped at her house.Sumedh dropped Sanskruti. A new chapter began in Sumedh's life.
