Part 10

College Principal's room:

Dilip Khanna is fuming for the presence of police in his premises. Sub-Inspector explained everything happened in the welding works and his fears of upcoming problems in the college because of the two groups for a girl "Mr.Dilip Khanna! We are afraid if these two groups do something in your premises. It's is our duty to restore peace in the colleges. It is not a small thing to ignore now."
Dilip assured to look into the matter and convince the groups to calm down "Yeh humara college ki izzat ki baat hai Inspector!. Please, let police don't enter the premises. I will assure to take care of the two groups"
Dilip Khanna is angry on two groups of the college and called them into his room. Prithvi and Angad came to his room and he fumed on them "Police in our college premises? How shame it is!!!"
Angad tried to explain the matter but Dilip asked him to shut his mouth. He severely warned them "Samjho yeh aap donon groups ko final warning hai. Stop the nonsense now…..immediate effect. Otherwise I have to debar you both from college with immediate effect."
Angad and Prithvi came face to face after three hours when the Principal was not in the college.
"You unnecessarily dragged the matter into fight" Angad blamed Prithvi.
"I don't like you harass our girls" Prithvi defended.
"Your girls..who cares" Angad laughed wickedly and walked forth. Prithvi stopped him "You longing for that girl only. Humesha uski peechey pada rehta hai"
"Dekho Prithvi! Kripa sey mera koyi lena dena nahin hai and you handle that girl and leave this fight here." Angad warned him.
"Darr gaya hai Angad." Prithvi and his followers taunted Angad. Angad stared at them and twisted his eyebrows.
"Kyon hogey ladai? Dekhtey hai kaun Kripa ko jeet letey hai. Agar tum win hogaya toh you should never talk to Kripa whatever need comes." Prithvi challenged Angad.
Angad showed his forefinger "If I win Kripa you never talk to her, none of your group. She has to stay with me all the time."
Both group followers are cheering them to get into fighting soon. Angad chose boxing to confront as per their last day's dealing. Aaliyah came to Angad "Bachoo! Try to win over him, this is our prestige issue. I know you are not interested in Kripa but humara izzat nahin rahega if you lose her." Angad smiled nodding his head.
Harshini ran to Kripa who has just entered the college premises and unaware of anything "Kripa! Jaldi chalo. Those two groups are fighting for you. Prithvi and Angad are facing each other in boxing to win you."Harshini updated the whole thing.
"WHAT!!?" Kripa shocked and ran along with Harshini to the place. Angad and Prithvi bouncing into each other seriously and all others are cheering in excitement.
"STOP IT!! STOP IT?!!Prithvi! yeh kya kar rahey ho? Pagal hogaya hai kya?" she is worried and trying to stop them.
She turned to Angad "Angad! stop it! Tumney kahan we should be friends and stop the fights. Who are you to bet me like this?"
Angad laughed wickedly "Yeh tumhara Prithvi sey poocho. He challenged me to get you and I'll win you for sure." He gave a flying kiss to her and she pouted her mouth angrily.
"Oh God! Yeh log pagal hogaye hai." Kripa held her head with confusion.
Both are getting equal punches and followers continued cheering. Kripa is worried how to stop the situation.
Meanwhile Dilip came back and found about the fight. He stopped both and suspended them for two weeks "You both are in final year. If I suspend you now you both lose your future forever. I know you both came from good culture and I'm giving little concern in respect of your family background. After the suspension, I advice you both, not to enter into the college premises again. Otherwise I have to suspend you both for the whole academic year."
Prithvi's house:
"Tum mere paas US aa raha hai, this is the only best thing I could do for you now. I'm sending you tickets and get ready to travel as soon as you get them."Damini is fuming in the phone.
"Mama! But I want to finish the exams atleast." Damini warned him in the mid way and ordered to get prepared to leave anytime "You can finish your studies here." Prithvi couldn't reply to her. His paternal aunt Netra heard the rest from Damini and agreed to help Prithvi to pack his belongings for the upcoming travel.
Kripa's house:
Kripa walked into kitchen after freshen up. She is little upset for whatever happened in the college because of her. "Kya paka rahey hai papa?" she peaked over his shoulder to check the dish.
"Kichidi!!" Suryaban answered with a big cheer on his face. Kripa's mother Gayatri likes kichidi.
"Mama aagayi hai kya?" Kripa excited and ran into her dad's room. Gayatri got up to take Kripa into her embrace. Kripa started crying in excitement "Mama! I missed you. How are you now?" Gayatri discharged from hospital after two weeks of medication. She is a heart patient and gets into hospital occasionally. Sharma family moved to Mumbai from Nainital for better medication for her.
Gayatri and Kripa walked into the dining room and three of them shared dinner with joy and excitement after a long time.
Suryaban surprised to see Netra and Prithvi at the door when they are relaxing and chatting.
"Gayatri! kaisey ho? Abb tumhara ilaaz kaisa chal raha hai?" Netra greeted Gayatri.
"Aao Netra! Mein theek hoon, kaisey ho Prithvi? Damini didi kaisi hai?" Gayatri and Damini are sisters and Gayatri came to Mumbai on Damini's advice.
"Damini wants Prithvi to join her as soon as possible." Netra explained everything happened in the college.
Suryaban fumed "Mein issiliye itni din Mumbai move karney sey mana kar raha tha. Abb Gayatri ki wajah sey aan pada. Ab yeh kya museebat aagayi hai"
Kripa is afraid and looked angrily at Prithvi for conveying everything at this time. Prithvi asked apologies with eyes as he has no such intention to spoil the atmosphere.
"Hum abhi Nainital wapas chaley jaatey hai. Abb Gayatri bhi theek hogayi hai aur kabhi jaroorat padey to mein Akeley aaya karoonga" Surya took on the spot decision.
"Papa abhi abhi college join kee thi and how can we move again?" Kripa asked to change his mind.
"Nothing is going to happen we can move back. You have good colleges in Nainital itself." Gayatri supported.
"Haan Kripa! Maasi theek keh rahi hai. Nainital is safe and good for innocent girls like you" Prithvi teased Kripa. Kripa pouted her lips and stumped into her bed room and Prithvi followed her.
"Kripa! I wanted to save you from Angad and it just dragged into serious fight. You are totally getting under his traps day by day. You should know how to read people especially men" Prithvi dropped his hand on Kripa's shoulder.
Kripa removed his hand and looked into his eyes "Prithvi! I'm not against you or Angad. I don't even have any feelings for him. Neither he. It was just for fun and you people took it serious.You should have alarmed me instead of fighting or warning him. Anyway yeh sab kuch huva tho ab hum bhi kya kar saktey hai? Papa ek baar kehdiya to bus kehdiya. He won't change his decision. Hum wapas Nainital jayengey."
Angad's house:
Naina is crying after hearing the news and Angad stood in a corner lowering his head down, crossing his hands. Dilip is cursing Angad "Is this the culture I'm giving you. Is this the respect you give back to your parents? As principal's son You should be an Ideal for everyone but you only spoiling everyone in the college. I thought iss umar mein , kuch chota mota harkathey, badmashiyan shobha detey hai but I didn't expect you cross your limits." Dilip fumed and walked into his bedroom.
"Who is that girl you both fighting for? Is there really something between you both? Tell me if you are really interested I'll talk to her family." Naina asked after Dilip walking into his bedroom..
Angad irritated "Mom! I already told several times so far. We don't have any such intentions. It went just for fun and nothing else. I don't even know her completely. Prithvi mistook everything, that's all"
Dilip walked out angrily "Mistake!! If he mistook why did you do to stop this nonsense? "
"Wo, just egoistic grounds" Angad mumbled and Dilip slapped his face "ego! Wahi kuch kum rehgaya tha. Ek ladki ke liye you spoilt your future."
Aaliyah entered meanwhile to find out Angad's situation.
"Aao Aaliyah! I thought you are very studious and sensible ladki. Magar iss Angad ke saat milkar tum bhi bigad rahi hai" Dilip encountered her.
"Nahin Uncle! Aisi kuch nahin hai. Angad bhi aisa kuch nahin kiya tha, bus wo Prithvi ne…" she mumbled to defend Angad.
Dilip shook his head "you all the same" he walked into his room.
Naina approached Aaliyah "Aaliyah! Tujhey pata hai asal mein kya hua? Tum Angad ki achi dost ho na? Batao such much wo ladki sey kuch hai kya? Meri itni megaton ke baad Angad paida hua tha mein uski kissi takleef nahin dek sakti. Batao kaun hai wo ladki."
Aaliyah hit her head in her mind "Aunty! Aisa kuch nahin hai., Bus thodasa bachpana hua tha."
Naina looked at her unbelievingly and walked into kitchen leaving a big sigh. Angad wiggled his head and walked into his bed room balcony and took a cigarette. Aaliyah closed his bed room door and approached Angad. "You should have faced that Prithvi, bach gaya sala. What did he think we can't face him? You should have won that Kripa, maza hota"
"Oh Shut up Aaloo!! Who cares? Kripa!!! This girl spoilt my life." Angad took a puff and rubbed his forehead with thumb.
"Hey Angad! look !! Wo Prithvi in Kripa's house." Aaliyah screamed softly and Angad also surprised to see Prithvi talking to Kripa and her family. He is saying something bending on Kripa's mother and Kripa is talking to him while cuddling her mother.
"I think he is interested in Kripa. That's the reason he warned you." Aaliyah whispered.
Angad twisted his eyebrows and sighed.
