Chapter 6 The entire class was buzzing with enthusiasm & excitement for the freshers that evening. Girls were busy discussing & elaborating their evening dresses while the guys were trying to figure out which girl had a date & who didn't. Contradicting the energy of the ppl around she sat there on the last bench playing on her phone. It was break time and she was bored.
K POV : For gods sake we are in the second year ! Last year bhi toh yeh bakwaas hui thi ...juniors ke freshers party pe why are they so happy ? Good that I'm not going ...
GAME OVER ! GAME OVER !!!
Shutting the irritating voice off she fling her phone in the bag. Then getting her cheek to rest on the wooden desk she gazed outside the window. The incident that morning unknowingly suddenly coming back to her mind
R : Listen ! I know I wud be the last person with whom u wud like to go to the freshers but i want u to go with me.
K : No !
And she had walked away.
But now when she was pondering over it by her own self without the hatred facade she had always put up ...she couldn't help but wonder as to why had Raghav asked her only.
"Kalpu kalpu kalpuuu...guess who asked me out ??" It was paakhi who had literally held Kalpana by her shoulders & rattled her like a piggy bank full of coins.
K : Who ?
P : Prem !!!! ( Prem isn't paakhi's brother in this story ...adjust a bit as I didn't wanna add a new face to the story. And neeraj is just the face I want)
K : & what did u say ?
P : Obviously I said a yes ...I'm not an idiot to refuse a handsome boy like Prem ...
K : But u know he isn't good ... Did u forget what did he did to u the last semester ?
P : Oh kalpi ...I know u care ...but he has explained it all already. He didn't know that I was there in the store room & hence he had locked it. Besides , u had come to my rescue immediately (elbowing her) I have no reason to worry when I have u with me !
K : No Paakhi ...u aren't going ...& that's final !
P : I am ...(she said stubbornly)
K : You know what ...do whatever u want ! But tonight u fall in trouble I will not be there to help u ...u get that ?
Paakhi merely smiled & left. Maybe she already knew it was impossible for kalpi to do so.
It was evening. If in the morning the class was buzzing with enthusiasm & energy ..then now it was booming with the same. There was loud music & dancing all over the place. But something was missing (humaare hero heroine obviously )
A nice kilometer away amidst the coziness of his car
R : Will u please stop being a wimp Sammy ? Paakhi is gone with Prem for good ...
S : (his head resting on the bonnet) How could she ? The last year she'd been my date ...& I was so happy ...especially when that female watch dog of hers hadn't come along ...& this year ???? I hate her .. I just don't want to see her ...
R : (sighing as he parks the car outside their college) If that's the case then why are we going to the party ?
S : Kuch kuch hota hai mere dost...tu nahi samjhega !
R : Main nahi samjhunga ...right ! Dost ke liye kya kya kar raha hu ..tujhe kya pata ? To avoid all those silly desperate girls of the class , my date tonight is ...
S : (in a squeal) KALPANA VITTHAL JADHAV ...that too in a dress ???
It had been more than ...an hour ..na ... 5 mins since Kalpana was standing outside the venue getting all the more restless. Paakhi was inside all alone with a vicious Prem & she wasn't being allowed inside without a damn partner ...
That's when she finally sees Raghav with Sammy as she stomps in his direction
S : Errr...Why is she coming in our direction ?
R : Why don't u go inside Sam?
Sammy was more than happy to do the same , a part of his mind yet wondering which idiot had asked female watch-dog out. OK ...today she looked better , lets make it watch-poodle he ended up concluding as he laughed at his own joke.
Raghav on the other hand was also surprised to see his partner in a dress looking all feminine. He knew he was looking good too when he noticed some girls ogling at him ...not that he cared , but at the same time he also wondered whether Kalpana would remark it. He knew she didn't when he found her scolding him the second she was stood in front of him..
K : You are late !!!! Now hurry up .. We gotta go inside...(holding his hand by the elbow)
For that moment , he felt something unusual within. He remembered the way she had been pushing him away that very morning & now is literally dragging him inside ... He wondered why had she agreed at the last minute for the party as also why was she so eager to go inside. Either ways , he knew the reason wasn't him. But his curiosity wouldnt let him give in & forgive Kalpana so easily ..after all she had refused THE Raghav Singhaniya !
R : (when they had reached the door) Nope ...I am not going inside !
K : What ?
R : (jerking her hand off melodramatically) Yeah ...u heard it right partner, I can't !
K : (going all bonkers) But ..but why ?
R : Well ...you are standing on the wrong side ..
K : Huh ?
R : (showing her his other hand) this is my holding hand ! Besides I look better in my right profile.. 😛
K : (the hopeless expression) You gotta be kidding me !!!
Raghav , in his mind was really enjoying Kalpana's reactions. They were so natural , UNFAKE ! Unlike the girls he'd been with before ..
R : No I'm not !
K : OK fine !!!!
Going around in a semicircle , now standing on the other side of Raghav
K : Now , may we ?
R : (getting his holding hand & letting Kalpana hook around her arm around it) Yes , we may !!
What wud happen next ? What do ull wanna see happening ? I'm sort of blank with regards to this plot ...suggestions are welcomed !
