Chapter 6

Hello TaaReyians... here's the next chapter.

Next mrng.

Taani received a call.

Taani - kaun mr raha h be?
Sneha - Taani, it's me.

Taani was shocked to hear her voice.

Taani - Sneha, tu. Kya hua sab thik hai? Tu thik hai na?  Itne subah subah call qq kiya? Kya hua hai?
Sneha - Taani, plz jaldi se college aaja. Yaha kriya n Rahul k beech fight start hogayi hai.... n she is loosing it.
Taani - what!!! Fight!! Mai 5 min me aa rahi hu.

Taani drove her bike as fast as she could n reached college. The fight was going on terrace.

Taani - Kriya!!!

Rahul had grabbed her neck n she wasn't able to do anything. Taani was now shivering with anger... she directly ran to them n separated kriya n Rahul. N started punching him hard. Soon he got fainted.

She then ran to kriya who was breathing heavily.

Taani - koi pani lao.

A guy gave water to kriya. She drank n took a deep breath.

Taani - tu thik hai?

Kriya noded. Taani stood up to leave.

Kriya - tujhe mere fight k beech aane ki zarurt nahi thi.
Taani - ha pata hai mujhe. Mai bus tera ehsaan utaar rahi thi, jo tune high school me mujh pe kiya tha, un gundo se bacha ke.
Kriya - to tu yaha hisab barabar karne aayi thi?
Taani - ha. Tu jeeye ya mare mujhe koi frkh nahi pdta.
Kriya - thik hai. Agar yahi baat hai to ho jaye 1-1 hath.
Taani - rehne de. Already chusi hui aam lag rahi hai.
Kriya - qq darr gayi kya?
Taani - Taani Shekhawat kisise nahi darrti.
Kriya - chal fir. Aaja maidan me.

Taani n kriya started a fight on terrace itself.

The stunners n dazzlers with all the students were watching it.

R'G1 - tujhe kya lagta hai kaun jeetega.
R'G2 - of course Taani jeetegi. Taani aj tak kabhi nahi haari.
R'G1 - ha wo to hai.

Soon the game turned out to b serious. They both started hitting each other with hard punches.

Rey came there to separate them but shivam stopped him.

Shivam - rehnedo bhai. Ye nahi rukenge. Yahi 1 tarika hai dono k misunderstanding duur karneka. Fight kr k....

Rey too then watched the fight.

Kriya was going to fall from terrace but Taani held her wrist n pulled towards herself.

Taani again took her position n so did kriya.

Kriya - dekh kya rahi hai... hath fight k liye nhi, dosti k liye badhaya hai yaar.
Taani - dosti ka matlb b janti hai. Dosti me trust hota hai, jo tune us 2 take k ladke pe kiya aur humari 5 saal ki dosti tod di.

She turned to leave....

Kriya - ha janti hu hui hai mujhse galti. To kya zindagi bhr uski saza degi tu mujhe.
Taani - Ha.
Kriya - aur agar kal ko mai mr gayi to..
Taani - mrna hi hai to aj mr. Kal ka wait qq kar rahi hai.
Kriya - tere pass dil naam ki cheez hai bhi ya robot hai tu.
Taani - rishta toot jaye to wo jud nahi pata. N jodne ki koshish ki jaye to gaath pd jaati hai.
Kriya - lekin gaath pdne k baad wo rishta aur strong ho jata hai... qki usme tootne ki jagh hi nahi bachti.

From far ReVam were discussing.

Shivam - dono ko debate competition me hona chahiye. College ko jitwa k aayengi.
Rey - what do u think apna plan work karega.
Shivam - 100%

Here with TaaRiya/KriyaNi

Taani - mere paas tere faltu baato k liye time nahi hai.
Kriya - dekh... achha sorry na. Ab sorry bhi bol diya. Ab to maaf kar de.
Taani - Nahi.
Kriya - dekh agar tune mujhe maaf nahi kiya to mai... to mai yaha se kud jaungi.
Taani - kud ja.

Taani knew she wasn't kidding. If she has said it she'll do it. Kriya was about to jump when Taani held her wrist n kriya smiled within herself.

Taani - tu nahi sudhregi na.
Kriya - kabhi bhi nahi.

Saying so they hug each other tight. Tears start dwelling from kriya's eyes.

Kriya - kamini, km se km aj to ro. Khushi k aasu bolte h ise....
Taani - tu janti h mere aakho me kabhi aasu nahi aa sakte. Chal... it's time for party!!!!

They all shift to canteen n start chilling out together.

Shivam - tum dono sanki ho.
TaaRiya - kuch naya bol. (Saying so they high-five)
Vicky - chalo, ab jab apni team waps 1 hogayi hai, I feel hume come back karna chahiye.
Sarah - that's a great idea Vicky.
Taani - ha lekin hume us safedi ki chamkar se permission lena hoga.
Kriya - aur hum sabka image us ke saamne kharab hai. Wo kabhi hume accept nahi karega
Rey - mai kuch help kar sakta hu?

They all were staring him when it clicked to them all that of course he could help.

All - yes!!!

He gets startled hearing this.

Rey - guys, heart attack doge kya? Prof hu mai tum logo ka yaar. Thoda to taras khao...

They all started laughing.

Taani - hmm. To plan ye hai, ke humare college me har activity ki society hai, except for singing.
Kriya - right. N hum proposal le k jayenge k saare societies hai to singing ko bhi 1 mauka milna chahiye.
Shivam - but the problem is, jab wo hum sabka naam sunega uska BP high ho jayega n wo mana kar dega.
Sneha - qq na use patane ke liye hum 1 music album banaye.
All - that's a great idea!!!
Shivam - but kaha? Mai n Vicky to hostel me rehte hai.
Rey - y not at my place...
All - huh... what!!! At ur place.
Rey - yeah.
Taani - 1 min. What do u want in return of ur help
Rey - pardon me.
Kriya - koi bhi kisi ki out of the way ja ke help nahi karta. Aapko badle me kya chahiye?
Rey - come on guys. U all r my students n moreover u all r still kids for me. N shivam is my younger brother... so if I can help u guys, what's the problem in that.

TaaRiya were giving him "kuch to gadbad hai" looks.

Rey - help nahi chahiye to no problem. I thought tumhara music album banne k baad I would sell u guys to VP sir. But it's OK....
All - no no no no no. Wait wait. OK,  we r ready to take ur help.
Rey - good. Kab se start karna hai?
Taani - 5 baje.
Rey - cool. Taani n chhote mera ghar jante hai u guys can ask them for my address.

Saying so he leaves, while all were giving taani a "kya chal raha tum dono ke beech" look.

Taani - what!!! Come on guys, don't give me that look. U guys know me.... he is just a prof to me. Nthng else.
Kriya - pakka na. Coz I can smell it, something is cooking in between u guys.
Taani - tu apne kutte jaisi naak ko sambhal k rakh, kisi aur din kaam aayega. Ab chalte hai, apne instruments nikalne.
All - yes let's go!!!

They all went to taani's house. Chachi wasn't home so they entered without any hassle.

T'M - kriya beta!!! Tum sab yaha...
Kriya - mom!!!

Kriya doesn't have mom so she used to call T'M as mom. N T'M used to treat her as her own daughter.

They hugged each other tight. N kriya had tears in her eyes

Kriya - I missed u so much mom.
T'M - maine bhi tujhe bahot miss kiya meri bachi.
Shivam - are my sweetheart, mai bhi yahi hu. Mujhe to koi pyaar hi nahi karta...
T'M - achha ji... tu bhi aaja. (They hugged each other) kitne time baad mil raha hai. Kitna bada hogaya hai.
Shivam - come on sweetheart, hum last week hi to mile the.

They separated each other.

All except kriya - aunty hum bhi yahi hai.
T'M - tum sab yahi baitho mai tum sab ke liye kuch khane pine ko laati hu.

They all were chit-chatting n taani went to her room to take out her instruments. She took out her guitar, n had a smile touching it. The old good memories were flashing in front of her.

She took all of them n came out of her room.

Taani - kamino, akele akele thoosne baith gaye.
Kriya - tu to roz apni maa k hath ka khana khati hai, aj hume bhi khane de.
T'M - kaha beta. Ye kabhi ghar pe khana nahi khati. Raat ke 11-12 baje ghar aati hai aur jab b khane ki baat karo to kehti hai kha ke aayi hai.

All were shocked to hear that. They didn't utter a word after this.

Taani - guys, saare instruments to mil gaye, but what about drums.
Shivam - wo jugad ho jayega. Bhai k ghar me hi hai.
Taani - cool then. Let's go. 5 bajne wale hai.
All - yeah. Bye aunty/mom/sweetheart.
T'M - bye bacho. Apna khayal rakhna aur aate rehna.

They all left from taani's place. N soon reached a rey's place. While kriya n shivam were finding a perfect time to talk to Taani.

Kriya - mom ne abhi kya kaha. Tu kabhi ghar pe khana nahi khati. Qki jaha tak hum tujhe jante hai tujhe sirf apne maa k hath ka khana pasand hai. N tu bhook bardasht nahi kar sakti. What's the matter.
Taani - aisa kuch nahi guys. Maa kuch bhi bolti hai.
Shivam - taani, plzz sach bata. Humare band ka rule hai, "No lie". Just tell us the truth.
Taani - guys, maine kaha na aisa kuch nahi hai.

She was going forward when shivam held her wrist.

Shivam - u cannot just walk out between our conversation.
Taani - shivam hath chhod.
Shivam - nahi chhodunga.
Taani - shivam maine kaha hath chhod.
Shivam - Taani.... mai nahi chhodunga. Agar tu ziddi hai to ye mat bhool k mai tera hi dost hu. Tujh jitna hi ziddi, just tell us. What's the matter.
Taani - simba.... it's nothing.
Shivam - guys, tum log yahi ruko mai, kriya n Taani aate hai.

They noded n sat on the couch in the hall while taavam n kriya went to a room.

Kriya - now tell us Taani. What's the problem?
Taani - 1 mahine pehle... chachi maa pe chilla rahi thi. Keh rahi thi, hum us pe bojh hai. Jab k wo tharki chacha kuch nahi karta... din bhr daru peeta hai. Aur ghar bhi mere diye hue paise se chalta hai. Usne kaha, ke ab agar hum dono ko us ghar me rehna hai to kisi 1 ko hi khana milega. Ya to mujhe ya fir maa ko. Isliye....
Shivam - Isliye tu raat ko khana khana chhod di taaki sweetheart khana bina tension k kha sake.

Taani noded.

Kriya - that bitch. Tu qq sunti hai use yaar. Pure duniya ko maar sakti hai to fir use qq nahi?
Taani - agar maine aisa kiya to wo log maa ko jail me daal denge. N Paa ke jane ke baad mai maa se alag nahi ho sakti.
Shivam - tune mujhe bataya qq nahi bunty.
Taani - Qki mujhe teri...
Shivam - sympathy nahi chahiye.
Taani friendship me sympathy ki jagh nahi hoti. It's called love n care. Sabko dosti ki nasiyat deti firti hai... wahi baate tere life me tere liye bhi laagu hoti hai.
Taani - guys, maine ye tum dono ko bataya coz u forced me to do it. But mai nahi chahti ke tum log is regarding kuch bhi karo. Plz...

They both understood that Taani will never accept their help. So they just backed off.

But rey heard their conversation.

Now let's c how will rey n KriVam help taani.

Toodles!!!
