Chapter Three

"Shut up, mein tumhari bakwas aur nahi sunana chahata" said Rey.

"I didn't know ki tum dono twins ho" Taani tried to explain.

"So without knowing anything you start blaming anyone! Wow!" Rey snaps at her.

"I'm sorry, I..I..di..didn't mean to hurt anyone" Taani replies while her voice starts breaking and her eyes start becoming moist.

"Oh Please!" continues Rey, "Stop acting. Yeh sab drama kahi aur jaake karna"

"Rey cool down please. Voh keh rahi hai na she didn't know" Swayam tries to calm Rey down.

"Miss. whoever, please leave" says Rey.

Taani starts walking out of the canteen. The students present in the canteen start laughing at her.

"Kya ladki hai! Kuch pata toh hai nahi bas blame karne aagayi!" says a boy.

"Guys be careful kahin humpe bhi koi ilzaam laga degi yeh" says another and everyone starts laughing.

Taani starts crying due to the comments of everyone. Rey too hears it and feels bad and wants to shut everyone's mouth but his ego comes in his way.

"Girls beware of her. She looks like a boyfriend snatcher." says a girl.

"I don't mind if she snatches me!" some random boy says this and smirks.

This was it for Rey! He was the one who was shouting at her but after hearing all such comments he felt bad as no matter how egoistic person he was, he had a heart which respected women.

"Who the hell said this?" shouted Rey, "I'm asking something dammit. Answer!"

"Sabki bolti kyun band ho gayi? Ab tak toh badi badi baate bol rahe the sab" said Sharon.

Taani couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the canteen crying. Rey felt bad, no not bad but worst while seeing her cry, and banged the table hard to remove all his frustration.

"Rey table todne se kuch nahi hoga, go and apologize to her" said Swayam.

"Apne stupid comments deke ho gaye ho toh LEAVE" said Sharon with full attitude in her voice.

Everyone dispersed. Rey too left searching for Taani. Swayam and Sharon decided to help Rey in locating Taani.

Rey was walking in the corridor and was deep in his thoughts, "I'm such an idiot! Misunderstanding hi toh hui thi. Need to find her as fast as possible. Can't stay with this guilt any longer." His thoughts were broken by the weeping sound which was coming from the fire exit. He opened the door and found her sitting there on the stairs. Rey entered the fire exit and went and sat next to her. Both kept quiet for sometime.

"Sorry!" both of them said at the same time.

"Tumhe sorry kehne ki jarurat nahi hai. It was my fault. I behaved like a jerk" said Rey.

"Galati meri thi. Meine tumhe niche dekha aur fir tumhare bhai ko upar dekha and I thought ki..anyways I'm really sorry for it" said Taani.

"But meine bhi toh tumhe kya kuch nahi kaha" continued Rey but was cut by Taani, "Vo isliye kyunki you love your brother a lot"

"Voh toh hai!" said Rey and smiled. She too smiled back.

"Can we just forget all that and become friends?" asked Rey.

"Why not! I'll love to forget all of it" said Taani.

"Reyansh Singhania. Friends call me Rey" Rey introduced himself and extended his hand forward.

"Taani Shekhawat." said Taani while shaking his hand.

"Friendship ho bhi gayi. Rey you're very fast!" said Sharon coming inside and winked at him.

"Very funny Sharon!" said Rey.

Sharon is about to reply to Rey but Swayam stops her, "Rey apni friend ko introduce nahi karega?"

"Oh My God! Swayam interested in some other girl. Sharon sambhalo isse" says Rey in a dramatic way.

"Whatever! Ab tak toh tumhe mera naam pata chal hi gaya hoga, I'm Swayam Singhania and this is Sharon Rai Prakash." Swayam introduces Sharon and himself to Taani.

"I'm Taani Shekhawat. Really sorry for what happened in the canteen. I didn't.." apologized Taani and Sharon cut her midway.

"Its alright. You were just trying to help. Don't say sorry for that" said Sharon.

"Waise Rey tu kiske saath tha?" asked Swayam.

"No. 550!" replied Rey proudly.

"No. 550?" asked a confused Taani.

"Yeh iska weekly count hai. 'No. of girls coming and talking to him' as he puts it" said Swayam.

"Week toh abhi hi shuru hua hai!" said Taani who was totally surprised after hearing this.

"Just few more left then I'll reach one lakh" said Rey pulling his collars up.

Taani couldn't believe on her ears. Is this the same person who was sweet to her right now? She wondered. And did she hear one lakh. She named him 'Mr. Flirt' in her mind.

"Shit I almost forgot!" exclaimed Taani, "Mujhe apna ID collect karna tha GS se."

"Meine bache hue IDs Principal sir ke cabin mein rakh di hai wahi jaake form submit kar dena aur ID collect kar lena" said Swayam.

"Tum GS ho? Cool! And thanks abhi jaake collect kar leti hu" saying this Taani leaves the fire exit and goes to Principals office.

The trio too leave.

"Swayam you look tired. Kya hua?" asks Sharon.

"GS and AGS ki duties dono karni padh rahi hai toh thodi tiredness ho rahi hai." said Swayam.

"AGS ki saari duties hume dene ke baad bhi bol raha ho ki dono duties tujhe karni padh rahi hai" said Rey.

"Tune duties ki?" asked Swayam.

"Help toh ki na!" said Rey.

"I suggest hum ek AGS dhundte hai. What say Rey?"

"Perfect idea Sharon" replies Rey.

"Hey guys" said Taani.

"Itne jaldi ho gaya? Great!" said Rey.

"Swayam, tum itna kya soch rahe ho?" asked Taani.

"Bechare ka assistant usse ditch karke chala gaya. Naya assistant kaun hoga yahi soch raha hai" said Rey.

"I can help you if you want." said Taani.

"Kaise?" asked Swayam.

"Back in Australia, I was the secretary of my college and.."said Taani but was cut by Rey.

"Australia? Meine toh foreigner se pange le liye yaar. Taani please mujhe maaf kar dena." pleads Rey.

"Rey you don't have to apologize, kitne baar bolu" saidTaani.

"So apne friends ke baare mein batao, any ho.." says Rey but he was cut by Swayam, "Oye hello vo meri help kar rahi hai. Yeh sab kaam baadme karna."

"Toh mein kya bol rahi thi..haan..I was the secretary and I can assist you. If you don't mind."

"That's a cool idea. Swayam pe stress nahi aayega" said Sharon.

"Cool then mein Principal sir ko bata deta hu ki tum AGS ke liye perfect ho" said Swayam and left.

"Taani you didn't answer" said Rey.

"What?" asked Taani.

"Rey shut up! Taani ignore him faltu ki baate karta rehta hai. Kuch batao apne baare mein." said Sharon.

"Mein jab choti thi tabi we shifted to Australia. I missed India a lot. I told dad that I'll be continuing my studies in India. So here I am." said Taani.

"Searching for a life partner. Right?" asked Rey.

Taani remained silent. She thought 'How did he guess it?'

"I am right. Right?" asked Rey again with a smirk.

"Oh come on Taani we are friends, you can share it with us." said Sharon and insisted Taani to speak.

"You are right Rey. But tumne guess, I mean, kaise?" askedTaani.

"Hidden talent you see!" winked Rey.

"Oh! Tell me something about you" said Taani.

"Mein smart hu handsome hu aur.." But was cut by Swayam, "Aur duniya ka sabse bada flirt hai jo apne bhai ki girlfriend ko bhi nahi chodta!"

"Very bad Rey!" said Taani giggling.

"Apart from this, wh.." Taani is cut by Rey, "lets do one thing, you spend some time with us and then you'll come to know everything about us. As abhi hum kuch bhi bolenge toh koi na koi cut karega hi"

"OK lets do it this way, but even you have to guess about me" said Taani.

"Jo aapka hukum!" Rey says depicting a Genie.

"Aaj ka kaam ho gaya ho toh lets go home. Mein thak gayi hu" said Sharon.

"OK beautiful, chalo." said Rey.

"Bye Rey Swayam and Sharon" Taani bids them bye.

"Bye Taani." They say in unison.
