Chapter 1
"Agar tere fattu bhai ne meri behen ko pata liya to main khud GS ki post se hath jaunga. College tera," said Reyaansh with utmost aggression.
But Kriya was not the one to back off. She instantly responded with a shriek that resounded in the union room turning heads. "Abbe tune fattu kisse bulaya!"
"Tera bhai, uss chasmish Swayam ko, aur kisko!" Reyaansh guffawed. His minions Nil and Vicky shared his laughter.
Neha whispered in Kriya's ears. "issbar to bahat bezti ho gai Kriya. Ab to Swayam ko uss chudail Sharon ko propose karna hi padega."
Vishakha joined in. "She's right dude!! It's a matter of our honour now. Swayam has to act."
"Teri nakchadi behen ussi chasmish ke saath cycle pe college ayegi. Dekh liyo!" Kriya shouted back at Reyaansh.
*************************************************************************************************************
Sometime back Kriya had stormed into the union room of Rambharose College demanding what was rightfully hers, accompanied by her comrades Neha and Vishakha. Reyaansh and his friends were celebrating with the money they had collected through various 'charitable' activities like selling leaked question papers to students and 'voluntary' donations made by freshers to party funds.
"Tum log students ko dara dhamkake paise nai le sakte. This is unacceptable. We'll go to the principal," shouted Vishakha.
"Angutha Chaap party haye haye," cried Neha.
Nil and Vicky immediately got on their feet but Reyaansh dissuaded them from approaching the girls. He knew that they may be women but they were also the most influential and powerful women on campus, especially their leader, Kriya. That one was wicked!
"Zyaada halla machane ki zaroorat nai hai. Saare students candle light march pe gaye hai. Point pe a jao. Kya chahiye?" he asked Kriya.
"Humara hissa," said Kriya coming forward.
"Hissa? Kaisa hissa?" asked Reyaansh pretending to be ignorant.
Kriya was restless.
"Paper leak karne mein humari utni hi contribution hai jitni ki tumhari. Aur humari sahayata ke bina, tumlog canteen mein khade hoke paper bech bhi nai sakte the. Issiliye aadha paisa humara."
Reyaansh was amused to learn that his opposition leader thought she had a share in his money. He declined with caustic remarks characteristic of him. A heated argument followed. He knew that Kriya eyed his position, and just to play with her a little more he threw her a challenge that was impossible for her to win. Sharon was a silly little brat who loved to torment him, but she would never go out with that loser Swayam. Reyaansh was sure of it. His sister preferred popular men.
What was life without fun, and there was nothing as fun as seeing Kriya seethe in anger and frustration and react like the arrogant idiot that she was. He loved playing games with his arch rival.
**************************************************************************************************************
Reyaansh was the general secretary of Rambharose College Students' Union and a promising leader of Angutha Chaap Party. Angutha Chaap was the students' wing of the main opposition party SCBBP- Sab Chor Bhai Bhai Party. Kriya belonged to Kamchor Students' Association. Kamchor was the students' wing of the ruling party- KAKD- Khao Aur Khane Do. As a result, most of the colleges in the state had Kamchors ruling their union. But Rambharose College was an exception. Earlier it had shown strong Kamchor traits, but with the advent of the smart new leader Reyaansh, the students swayed towards the opposition soon. And for the last two years, he ruled this college under his regime with an able hand. From paper leaking to ballot rigging, Reyaansh conducted everything smoothly and responsibly.
This was a blot on Kriya's political career who aspired to go to the assembly. Although the surroundings were all under Kriya's control and from greengrocers to beggars, everyone paid her their 'hafta', her own college was one place where she had little control. She wielded power but was second to Reyaansh. This was their third and last year in college and she had to leave her mark. But whatever happened in the union room was a matter of her honour, like Vishakha said. Reyaansh openly challenged her and called her brother a 'fattu' and some other words questioning his manliness in front of some fifteen people! Kriya never involved her brother Swayam in her political agendas but this was personal. This time there was no backing out. It was now or never.
Sharon was Reyaansh's spoilt twin sister and a total diva. She was least interested in politics or her brother's activities. All she cared about was looking good and being the most popular person in college. While she was aware of her brother's power and his rivalries, she never let that cloud her image in college. Just like any other diva, she too had two loyal followers, Rinni and Simmi, but she had few friends. Most girls were jealous of her and most guys wanted to date her. The rest were scared of her as she was Reyaansh's sister. But to speak the truth, she was too full of herself to even notice others. And that is why, in spite of having few or no friends, her life was very colourful. She was a narcissist.
Swayam, as Reyaansh commented, was your typical bespectacled nerd. His life revolved around his books, his plants and Sharon. Yes. He had a secret crush on Sharon. Well, not so secret actually. This was a secret in the beginning of college. By now everybody including the librarian and the peon knew about his crush on Sharon. But like any diva, Sharon was oblivious to Swayam's feelings or so it seemed. Swayam steered clear of his sister's political activities. In fact he avoided everything related to her party in college, so much so that many were not aware of their relationship till election time. He was fond of his sister, but not proud of her. It was also due to his sister's power that Swayam did not get bullied in college. Otherwise, lanky, soft spoken, gentle nerds like him get bullied everywhere in the world.

"Propose kar daal bete," said Bharat. "Ab aur koi raasta nahi hai."
"Haan Swayam. Kliya ne keh diya hai to propose kalna hi palega," Amar supported Bharat.
"But..." Swayam tried to argue his case when Kriya cut in.
"Dekh bhai, iss bar agar tune propose nahi kiya to meri naak kat jayegi. Aur usne 'fattu' bulaya yaar tujhe.!!" shouted Kriya in agitation.
"Mujhe koi problem nahin. Main fattu hoon. Main nai kar sakta," Swayam said. He was nervously biting his nails.
"Tumhe ye karna padhega Swayam. Kriya ki izzat dao pe hai, aur behen ki izzat ki raksha karna har bhai ka farz hai," said Neha.
"Exactly," said Vishakha.
Swayam didn't know how to respond to this argument.
"Bhai izzat ka maamla hai. Ab to karna hi padega!" Declared Bharat.
