"Mumbai Institute of Medical Sciences" which gives top class, well educated doctors to the country is where we find six intelligent, devoted to studies and career yet mischievous boys and girls who are friends yet they hate each other when they want to.
Arman malik_20 one of the most handsome, flirt and rich guy round in the college. Due to his good management skills and leadership qualities as well as good studies , he is a class monitor since last year.
Atul joshi 23- one of the cute and sweet guy round who is a champ of arman malik and would do anything for him as they both are like brothers and they are the only one for each other in the world since school as both of them have lost their families in their childhood. He is also doing internship with anjali and is 'lattoo' on her as everyone says.
Muskan chadda 20- a sweet Punjabi girl who is pretty and is a class monitor since last two years due to her first class academic records. She is short tempered and clumsy at times.
Rahul garewal 20- lies in the category of arman malik which is he is also hot and handsome in the college but much more devoted to his studies then arman who never takes life seriously while rahul is decent and gentleman but when ever he is with arman and atul he will do anything to make his friends happy. He has a soft corner for muskan in his heart but never shows it.
Ridhima gupta 20- one of the sweetest, beautiful and innocent girl round in college. Wants to become a fabulous doctor in future and is extremely good in studies, that's why she is also a class monitor since last two years with muskan. She hates arman as he teases her all the time and plays pranks on her always. She and muskan are best friends.
Anjali gupta 22- she is two years elder then ridhima and therefore is doing internship in "sanjivani". One of the best hospital of Mumbai which affiliates the Mumbai College of medical sciences. She is a fabulous doctor yet as she is also mischievous like her sister she creeps inside the college often and spends time with all of them. She loves her sister and cares for her a lot.
Scenario- It is the last year of all of them in the college and after that they will be starting internship as per decided in sanjivani. Right now arman, muskan and ridhima have to attend their last council meeting which is held every month and the council members are going on a trip as well as the college will throw a farewell party for the batch. Muskan and ridhima are in the same section and they both are class monitors of their class and they divide all their tasks equally while arman is in the other section with rahul. All six of them have different values and lives. They have their own morals and way of livings. Our story surrounds the six of them and people around them. One or the other one hates each other. Let's see how life brings them always together and what they have to go through in their lives.
Part 1
"good morning ma'am" chorused all the council members to dr. kirti who is incharge of the council as well a senior doctor in sanjivani. She is very strict for discipline and work but otherwise is a kind hearted, sweet woman.
"good morning" replied dr.kirti and then she took everyone's roll call. As she came to arman's name,
"arman malik. Final year!!"
No reply.
"arman malik!!" ridhima and muskan looked at each other's faces and them ridhima stood up.
"err?wo actually ma'am humne ne arman ko?"
"oh there he is" said dr. kirti as she looked towards the door and there he was. Arman malik. Tall, handsome, broad shouldered, hair falling on his eyes, dimpeled smile, hands in pockets.
"huh ye yahan?" ridhima gasped to herself and looked with disbelief at muskan.
"you'r late arman"
"I'm sorry ma'am wo assignment submit karwa raha tha" said arman with a puppy face and ridhima cursed him under her breath.
"kabhi assignment khud ki bhi hai! jhoota kahen ka"
"it's ok. Be careful next time.Go and take your seat" said dr. kirti and arman moved beside ridhima and muskan as all the monitors of the same year had to sit together.
"so students as we all know this is the 2nd last month of this session. Next month se ap logon k final exams start hojayenge. All the best for that but before that har saal union council k members ka trip jata hai to give them a treat for their hard work and devotedness they show whole year for this college. Is saal bhi isi tarha hoga. We have arranged the trip to goa. It's 5th of November today and we'll be leaving on 15th November. It will be a night stay there so see for yourself about your packings. Permission slips main ap logon ko abhi deti hun. Sanjana!!"
Sanjana was the head girl of the college. A nice girl and liked by everyone.
"Sanjana ye slips sb ko de do. And students you have to return these slips back to sanjana by tomorrow after getting them signed by your parents or guardians. Well ek ye baat thi or dusri baat ye k har saal ki tarha is saal bhi ek batch ye college chod kar jayega or har sal ki tarha is saal bhi last batch ko college ki taraf se farewell milega which will be held on 25th of November. The class monitors of final year have to inform their classes. Arman you too!!" dr.kirti said warningly as from the last two years whenever there was to be a party he wouldn't inform his class instead he and rahul would themselves go there with atul.
"Han is ki class ko to humaisha hum dono hi batate hain" ridhima whispered to muskan but arman heard it.
"yes dr.kirti." he said lowering her eyes and as dr. kirti looked away arman whispered to ridhima, "oye tum na ziada efficient banne ki koshish mat kiya karo"
"kiyun? Kiyun na banun main efficient jb main efficient hun to."
"abhi agar bataya na dr.kirti ko k kitni efficiency dikhayi tum ne sare monitors ko bulanae main?"
"oh wooooo!! By the way tumhain bataya kis dhakkan ne k meeting ho rahi hai?" said ridhima.
"tumhi wo dhakkan ho jisse mujhe pata laga"
"what?? Main ne?"
"or nahi to kiya. Libraray k samne khade hi tum or muskan planning kar rahe the na k mujhe meeting main nahi bulana"
"whatever per tum library main kiya kar rahe the??" ridhima asked surprisingly.
"ziada kuch nahi bas ek date fixed thi wahan per abhi time tha to socha thodi der so jaon. Tabhi wahan rahul agaya"
"tum library main date marte ho or sote bhi ho??" she was irritated.
"han to!!"
"you are disgusting"
"silence students" dr.kirti said in a loud voice and said,
"so aj ki meeting main bas yahi sb inform karna tha and one more thing no pranks in the party and on the trip" she again glared at arman., "so the meeting is over now"
as dr.kirti moved out all the monitors and executives started moving out. Muskan and ridhima were the first one to get out as they knew arman would come after them and they wanted to run away. But as they stepped out of the room they saw rahul blocking their way with his hand stretched out on the wall so they couldn't go.
"well well well, arman malik ko meeting se, party se or trip se door rakhne ki saazish rachi jarahi thi" said arman in a casual attitude coming out lazily from the room and stood in front of ridhima and muskan who were carrying their files and bags.
"han to. Shaitan se chutkara panay ki soch to bhagwan k han naik soch mani jati hai, ye shayad tum nahi jante kiyunk tum to khud hi shaitan ho" said ridhima and she stepped forward but arman blocked her way.
"arman!!!" she hated anyone blocking her way.
"arman mat tang karo na usay" said muskan.
"tumhain thodi na tang kar raha hai wo" said rahul to muskan.
"rahul tum hi mana karo na usay. Kiyun tum log har waqt usko tang karte rehte ho" said muskan.
"to tumhain karain kiya?? Well forget it! so ridhima, kiyun kiya tum ne aisa?? Kiya ap janti hain k arman ka har jaga hona kitna zaroori hai warna ladkiyan pareshan or bore hojati hain or ap ne ye gunnah anjam de diya. Ab iski saza to apko bhugatni padegi"
"shut up arman and leave my way" said ridhima pushing his hand away from the wall.
"arman janay de na yaar" said rahul.
"fine abhi k liye to jarahi ho per jang ka ailan to ho chukka hai" said arman in a deep voice as if he was imitating some royal highness.
"jang ka ailan to pichle paanch saalon se hogaya hua hai arman. tumhain ab ja k yaad aya hai k koi jang bhi hai" said ridhima and she called muskan and walked away for class.
"ab kiya soch raha hai??" rahul asked.
"sochna kiya hai!! Hamaisha ki tarha ab bhi karna hai. Chal atul or anjali ko batate hain chal k"
"Per abhi to class ka time hai na" said rahul
"acha chal yar abhi class main chalte hain or class k baad peeche k gate se sanjivani main ghus jayenge"
"Ok" unlike ridhima and arman, anjali was a good friend of arman as well as atul.
Excitement had risen all round the college that there was to be a farewell for the final year and everyone was invited. The juniors who liked some one from the seniors were preparing to propose them before they left. The seniors were planning to rock the party but right now arman had got another reason to tease ridhima.
"waise tujhe kaun sa kisi reason ki zaroorat hoti hai usay tang karne ki wo subha jaise ho darwaze se enter hoti hai to tu usay tang karna shuru karta hai" said rahul when they both sat in the caf after their last class.
"oye tu uski side na le ziada. Muskan ki friend hai to kiya hua meri to dushman hai na. or wo bhi koi kam nahi hai." As arman said this and was taking a sip from his coke. He saw ridhima from the window of the caf, coming out from the class room holding some registers and books on the second floor. Arman rushed outside,
"OYE KAHAN JARAHA HAI??"
"TERi PHULJADI KI DOST KA BAND BAJANE"
"ARMAN WAPAS A?" rahul shouted to stop arman but he already was running up the stairs. He ran up to ridhima.
"madam pooja ki cheezain rakhne jarahi ho??"
"nahi suicide karne jarahi hun" she said with her head held high. Arman saw her attitude and he fell down on her feat and held her both legs tightly,
"meri wajah se?? meri wajah se tum apni jaan de dogi ridhima?? Please ridhima aisa mat karo tumhare bina main mar jaonga?? Tumhare baad main kisko tang karunga?? Kiski chae main namak milaonga?? Kiskay chips ki plate main cockroach dalunga?? Kiski basket ball main se hava nikalunga?? Kisko class main lock karunga??"
"ARMAN MAIN GIR JAONGI!! CHODO MUJHE" ridhima was continuously screaming while arman was jerking her legs on his knees.
"nahi ridhima pls aisa mat karo!!" said arman pretending to cry while ridhima's dupatta fell on his face and he left her legs to get her dupatta off his face and ridhima took the chance and ran forward two three steps and snatched her dupatta away and went away angrily after sticking out her tongue on him. Arman smiled naughtily and stood up to hide behind a class room while ridhima went to the department. While she was returning, the corridors were all deserted as the college was over. She always felt a little scared when she was alone as she had left muskan to wait for her on the bus stand. She was on her way to go downstairs. She looked around but saw no arman. She was expecting him to be there to irritate her but when he wasn't she felt a little more scared that she was all alone. No voice to heard, no footsteps. When all of a sudden two hands were clasped on her eyes.
"AHHHH?.AHHHHH" she screamed in fright and held the hands to move them away. When she moved the hands away she turned around and saw it was arman. she held her hand on her chest and took a sigh of relief,
"oh? tum ho!! Main to dar hi gayi"
"kiyun mere hone se tumhain dar nahi lagta??" arman asked a little surprised by her relief after seeing him.
"dar nahi lagta but jb tang karte ho to irritation zaroor hoti hai" said ridhima stepping ahead.
"waise hum dono is waqt yahan is corridor main akele hain" said arman getting close to her
"to?" ridhima crossed her arms on her chest and walked ahead.
"to matlab main kuch bhi kar sakta hun" said arman again blocking her way and ridhima stamped her foot on the ground hardly and screamed,
"ARMAN!! rasta mat roka karo"
"main ne kiya kaha shayad tum ne suna nahi" he kept his voice in a scaring manner as if he would do anything wrong with her.
"nice try arman! per ye sb kisi pappu k sath karna. Mere sath ye sb nahi chalta" she shoved his hand away and walked towards the stairs.
"kiyun??" he called out after her.
"kiyun k I know you this much k tum sb kuch kar sakte ho per aisi harkat nahi kar sakte" and she stepped downstairs without giving him a look and leaving him confused.
Why isn't she scared of me whenever I try to scare her like this when she hate me so much?? This was all arman thought. In the past four years, he and ridhima had a relationship of enemies that's what the entire college knew but there was something in between that was weird. Ridhima never got scared in his presence whenever he would try to scare her but yes she did got irritated by him. Even he never wanted anything bad for her but yet enmity is enmity and playing pranks on each other is the biggest part of it.
Part 2
Roll number 1143??

Roll num 534??

??
Ridhima and muskan were taking roll call of the council members while dr. kirti was standing beside them and they were all about to sit in the bus. After the roll call was done everyone moved to sit inside the bus while muskan and ridhima waited for anjali.
"Hello girls" ridhima and muskan didn't need to turn as they knew the two voices well.
"bus tumhari hi kami thi" said ridhima raisin her brow crossing her arms on her chest.
"kiya yar ridhima aj bhi salwar kameez?" Asked arman teasingly.
"to kiya mini skirt pehen kar aon??"
"I wouldn't mind that" he said naughtily.
"you are disgusting. Dafa hojao andar bus main"
"kiyun?? Humain bhi to kisi ka wait karna hai"
"kiska??" muskan asked as ridhima wasn't interested.
"atul ka!" rahul replied.
"oh to phir to matlab anjali or atul sath main hi ayenge" said muskan and ridhima refused to talk.
"hey guys! Phir lad rahe ho kiya?" came a sweet voice and the four of them turned around to see a beautiful lady holding her lab coat on her arms. She was tall, slim, shoulder length hair, wearing tight jeans and body hugging top which revealed her perfect curves and contours.
"di!" ridhima called happily and ran to her to hug her, "kitni der laga di kab se wait kar rahi thi apka"
"Sorry yaar surgery thi ek. Hi arman, hi rahul, hi muskan" she smiled and waved to all of them.
"hi" they all called out to her and waved.
"yar anjali you look even more sexier day by day. Kiyun karti ho aise?" flirted arman.
"kiya karun arman it's not my fault!" replied anjali smilingly.
"atul nahi aya??" ridhima ignored arman.
"araha hai" anjali turned around, "oh there he is" she pointed towards a bike where a guy was hanging his helmet over the bike and he walked towards them. Tall but not muscular, sweet and cute but not hot and sexy but there were certain things which were truly appreciable. He was kind, polite and a gentleman by nature.
"hi guys" atul smiled and waved to all of them.
"hi atul" everyone replied.
"so ab andar kaise jana hai??" anjali asked to ridhima.
"di apka or atul ka intazam to main ne kar liya hai so no worries ap dono andar chalo"
"oye kiya intazam kar liya hai??" arman asked
"main ne na dr. kirti ko toffee di or wo maan gayen k main di or atul ko sath le kar ja sakti hun" said ridhima sarcastically.
"array aise kaise toffee de di??" rahul asked.
"oye tu chup kar na yar" arman said to rahul.
"arman yar wo ridhima to tujhe aise hi tang kar rahi thi. Is ne anjali ko bataya tha k har student to apne sath ek ek companion lane ki permission hai is liye us ne mera nam muskan k sath likhwa diya or anjali ka nam apne nam k sath or ab tu rahul ka nam likhwa le"
"per ridhima ne ye mujhe to nahi bataya"
"kiyun bataye wo?? Tu prank khel sakta hai to wo nahi?"
"acha chal tu andar main dr. kirti se baat kar ke ata hun" said arman and he and rahul went to dr. kirti.
Soon they were all heading to goa. Everyone was singing loudly when after a while anjali and ridhima got up and they started to dance together. Both the sisters were too lively and bubbly and everyone knew that. In a few more minutes all six of them were dancing in the bus and rest of the members were standing to cheer them.
Ridhima and muskan were singing,
"kaan main jhumka, chaal main thumka, kamar ye patli matkay,
kho gaya dil ka purza purza lagay pachasi jhatkay,
ohh mera rang hai nasheela an gang hai nasheela" they were laughing like mad and bumping each other.
"oye pooja tum bhi ao na" ridhima called to a 2nd year monitor who was quiet shy and pretty.
"jagdish ko nahi bulaogi??" muskan whispered to ridhima and they both laughed loudly as jagdish was a 3rd year monitor who had a crush on ridhima that everyone knew about. He was a short and slim boy.
"jagdish ao na tum bhi dance karo"
"nahi nahi ridhima tum karo. Tum dance karte hue bohat achi lagti ho" he said shyly.
"awww so sweet of you" ridhima said.
"wo bechara kaise karega dance jab tk tum uska hath nahi pakdogi"
"shut up arman. you are just jealous k jagdish itna acha hai" said ridhima to arman who was trying to make fun of jagdish.
"whatever! Who is better than arman?? tell me anna!" arman asked to a girl
"simply no one arman!" anna was general secretary of the college and was a flirt just like arman wearing a minnie skirt and had tied hair in a ponytail.
"see!" said arman proudly.
"whatever! Apni chamchion se pucho ge tb to yahi jawab milega na" ridhima whispered to arman.
"ab mera kiya qusur agar sb meri chamchiyan hain!" he said naughtily referring to ridhima.
"oh please! Har koi tumhari tarha ka nahi hota" said ridhima.
"guys!! Hum trip per aye hain. Kam se kam yahan to mat lado. Ridhima tum yahan ao or atul arman ko le kar jao apni side per" said anjali and she grabbed ridhima's arm and took her to the other side.
They all reached goa and stepped out of the bus. Dr. Kirti came to them with two other council teachers.
"Students, we are going to camp here. Camping ka samaan araha hai dusri gadi main. Till then you can all get a look around.
"Chalo di, muskan!" Ridhima called and took them by their hands while arman, rahul and atul stared after them.
"Is ladki ko itna attitude problem kiyun hai??" asked arman.
"Tujhi se hai jo bhi hai. Qasam se wahan hospital main ati hai na to sb se itne ache se milti hai baghair kisi attitude k. rahul se hi puch le. Usse bhi theek se baat karti hai. Bas tujhe usse or usay tujhse hi problem hai." Said atul and then they all went for a look around.
The place was near a forest. All greenery, high cliffs, trees and flowers surrounding the area. The moist atmosphere and cool breeze was soothing. Mist was all around as it was still quiet early morning.
"booo?!!! Hahahahahahaha" the boys jumped in front of the girls from behind a tree and scared them and laughed till they had sprains in their stomach.
"you!!!" ridhima ran after arman as he tugged her haiar as well.
"ridzi!! Ridzi ruk ja!!" anjali called after ridhima.
"nahi di isko pata hai mujhe nahi acha lagta agar koi mere baalon ko hath lagaye phir bhi is ne mere baalon ko cheda" ridhima was trying to catch him from behind the tree.
"to tum chudailon ki tarha har waqt bal mat khola karo na or agar kholti bhi ho to phir poori chudail bano na or baal munh pe bhi dalo" said arman laughingly and was dodging her behind the tree so she couldn't catch him.
"huh!!! Tum ne mujhe chudail kaha!!" ridhima kept her hands on her waist and said furiously.
"or bhootni bhi" he giggled and ran away.
"abhi batati hun" ridhima ran after him but anjali caught her by her waist and said,
"ridzy kiyun apna mood spoil kar rahi hai uski wajah se. dafa kar na. kiyun ladti hai itna?"
"di main nahi ladti hamaisha wo hi ladta hai"
"Han anjali! ridzy se to humaisha wo hi ladta hai" said muskan taking ridhima's side.
"offo ek to tum dono na. Agar wo ladta hai to tu usse dor reh na"
"Main door rehti hun per wo jo pangay leta rehta hai" said ridhima.
"acha chal chod usay. Ab main hun na yahan dekhti hun kaise tang karta hai tujhe."
"hath pair tod dogi uskay??" ridhima asked
"han tod dungi tere liye"
"phir soup bana kar piyengay uska" said ridhima happily holding anjali's arm like a child.
"ok cool!" anjali replied and laughed while muskan shook her head.
Soon they were all off to set the camps and their luggage inside. Then they arranged a small stove made with bricks and put inside were straws that were lit with fire. They made tea and coffee for each other and everyone and had some snacks. Dr. kirti, dr. tara and professor.Meghna were all joking with the students and having fun while ridhima totally ignored arman who was making faces at her. once in a while anjali would catch him making faces and she would warn him by her expressions but he would just laugh at her. At least anjali knew that now when she had told ridhima to stay away from fighting with arman then she will.
It was evening and they had all had lunches prepared by themselves and now the boys were preparing for bonfire and had gone to collect wooden sticks while anjali was sitting with dr. kirti and talking about sanjivani. The other students were having their own kind of fun but none of it interested ridhima and muskan, so they stood up and decided to take a walk. They were talking about their college and homes when suddenly someone grabbed ridhima's arm and pulled her with the tree.
"ahhh" she screamed but when she saw it was arman she jerked her arm away from him and said,
"arman mujhe tum se koi jhagda nahi karna!! Or hath kiyun pakda mera??" she was fierce if anyone ever touched her.
"arman mat tang kar usay. Ab usne koi tujhe kuch kaha hai?? Said muskaan.
"array yahi to problem hai! Know what mera abhi tk breakfast bhi digest nahi hua sirf isi liye k ridhima ladi nahi mujhse! Acidity hogayi hai muje" he rubbed his hand on his belly.
"acha hai acidity hogayi hai! Ab beth jao kahen pait pakad k or mujhe tang mat karo" she stepped ahead but arman blocked her way and pushed her back with the tree.
"ARMAN!!!! DIIIIIIII!!......." ridhima shouted angrily but arman placed his hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream.
"arman kiya kar raha hai!! Chod usay!" rahul came running after ridhima's scream while muskan was standing aside and continuously telling arman to leave her.
finally arman left her and said happily,
"han ab mera breakfast bhi or lunch bhi digest hogaya" ridhima shot him a glare and went away angrily stepping hard on the ground,
"ARRAY ZAMEEN PHAT JAYEGI" arman called after her.
"OR SB SE PEHLE TUM USMAIN GIRO GAY" ridhima replied angrily.
"ullu ka patha hai ek number ka! Kameena!!" muskan was abusing arman in anger for ridhima who was quiet yet very angry. She jumped in a pile of straws behind their camp and sat their angrily while muskan sat beside her.
"hamaisha tang karta hai mujhe! Di ko bataon to di mujhe bolti hai k main sse door rahun. Ab bata main koi uskay pas gayi thi. Khud hi agaya tha na wo mujhe tang karne k liye! Said ridhima
"han I know yar!" said muskan agreeing with her, "acha chal dafa kar na usay. Dekh ab humara college khatam hoga to hum sanjivani main jayengay. Wahan anjali bhi hogi na"
"wahan bhi ye ajayega dhakkan mujhe tang karne!"
"offo per wahan to anjali hogi na to wo arman ko tujhe tang karne hi nahi degi. Dekh anjali to tujhe kharab cheez se bachati hai na"
"han mama papa yahan hote to wo bhi bachate per abhi wo yahan hain nahi isliye anjali di un dono ka kam bhi karti hai"
"han kab ayenge uncle aunty Canada se wapas?"
"pata nahi. Abhi kuch pakka nahi hai. Mere chacha chachi bhi waheen hain na. bas unhi k sath rehte hain ye dono bhi. Yahan hum dono behnain jo settled hain" ridhima had forgotten about arman and muskan was thankful for it. She was very good at making ridhima forget about anything. They sat there for hours talking to each other when they heard anjali's voice,
"ridhima!! Muskan!!"
"han di!! Hum yahan hain" ridhima called after her.
"offo kab se dhund rahi hun tum dono ko. Chalo ao sb wahan khane ki tayyari kar rahe hain" and they went back with anjali.
They had dinner while anjali was joking with arman, atul and rahul which was not liked by ridhima but she ignored them instead she and muskan sat with the other monitors and had chat with them. Jagdish and pooja were also there and jagdish was more than happy to sit with ridhima and have talk with her. ridhima didn't realized when she totally forgot about arman who was glaring at her.
"ab kiya hua?? Kiyun dekh raha hai usay aise??" asked rahul.
"yaar usay tang karne ka dil chah raha hai"
"usne tujhe tang kiya koi??"
"nahi per mera to dil chah raha hai na"
"dafa hoja tu. Chod de usay. Kuch din reh gaye hain is college main?"
"woi to! Kuch hi to din reh gaye hain."
"hey guys chalo na antakshari khelte hain sb mil k" said atul coming forward and he called everyone and then they all played antakshari together. They were singing songs when it started to rain.
"ohhhhhhhh" there were screams of delight at the rain while the teachers went inside their camp and left the students as they knew they wouldn't come inside.
"oye ridzy wo tera favourite gana ga na barish wala" said muskan holding ridhima's hand.
"array nahi yar" ridhima refused smilingly and circled around in rain as she loved rain.
"han ridhima gao na"
"please na ridhima see it's raining too"
"or itni maze ki bearish hai please gao na"
"ridhima it's our last trip. Please!!" everyone started pleading as ridhima was a fabulous singer.
"choti si kahani se barishon k pani se, sari waadi bhar gayi,
la la la la la la la" she started singing and everyone clapped with joy and jumped while arman just looked at her with his arms crossed on his chest.
"najane kiyun, dil bhar gaya,
najane kiyun ankh bhar gayi,
rukti hai chalti hai, kabhi barasti hai,
badal pe paon rakhe, barish machalti hai
laaa laaaa laaaa,
choti si kahani se, barishon k pani se, sari wadi bhar gayi,
najane kiyun dil bhar gaya, najane kiyun ankh bhar gayi"
they all danced and jumped around in rain while arman smiled and he was mesmerized by her voice.
It was quiet a long time since the rain had stopped, but still everyone was enjoying the cold weather. Ridhima, muskan and anjali were in their own funs while the guys; arman, rahul and atul, were trying to gain their attention by shouting at this and that which would irritate ridhima a lot but still she ignored them as anjali would tell her to.
Late at night Arman was lying in his sleeping bag and thinking about ridhima.
"Yar rahul mujhe neend nahi arahi" said arman to rahul who was lying beside arman's sleeping bag.
"chal phir foot ball khelte hain" said rahul sleepingly and turned to the other side. Arman made a face at him and turned his face away when suddenly an idea struck her. He sat up on his knees and crawled outside his camp. Someone had lit the fire again but noone was around. Arman was crawling when he heard a whisper,
"arman!!" it was a girl's arman.
"arman main yahan hun. Tumhare right pe" arman looked to the right and saw it was anna waving from her camp. She waved to him to call him to her camp. Arman reached there.
"mere liye arahe thay tum??"
"err? ya?ya ofcourse or kahan jaonga"
"abhi to thank God main ne tumhari parchayi dekh li is aag ki wajah se apne camp pe warna tumhain pata bhi hai tum kis k camp main jarahe thay??"
"nahi?nahi to? kiska camp tha? wo??"
"us ridhima ka" anna made a face.
"oh wo! Uska camp tha wo. Thank God anna tum ne mujhe bacha liya"
"oh you are welcome. Waise tumhare bina main bhi bohat udaas hogayi thi" anna threw her arms around arman's neck.
"Same here darling." Said arman holding her arms.
"I was missing you so much or tum ne to bus main mujhe attention hi nahi di"
"tum ne dekha na wo ridhima har waqt mujhse ladti rehti hai na sweetheart"
"ya I saw her. poor you" said anna and tapped arman's cheeks. Arman moved her arms away and said,
"darling ab bohat raat hogayi hai na. I should go. We'll meet tomorrow"
"pakka??"
"han pakka" arman turned to move back.
"oh arman! atleast give me a good night kiss na" arman made a horrible face as he was irritated by her.
"sure anna" and he took her hands in his and kissed her knuckeles.
"That's it??" said anna making a sad face.
"Ofcourse anna. Goodnight baby"he said and passed her a flying kiss and waited for her to go back inside. Soon as arman was assured anna was settled back he crawled upto ridhima's camp and opened up the zip of the camp and peeked inside. He creeped inside very slowly and carefully not to wake anjali. As he reached just beside her he turned to take one look at anjali if she was still fast asleep and yes she was. He patted his shoulder and turned back to ridhima. He just wanted to scare her and wake her up but when he saw her he forgot about everything. She was holding her stuffed doll which was about her leg length long. She was cuddled with it and ridhima's hair were lying on her face. Instead of scaring her he slowly moved her hair back from her face and smiled at the way she stirred and cuddled her doll more closely. He never knew she cuddled with a doll or even that she had a doll. Perhaps she hides it from everyone.
He crawled back to his own camp and lie down quietly and thought about ridhima. 5 years since they have been together or should better say 5 years since they have been fighting. He remembered their first day when arman had ragged ridhima and made her carry his bag all way to his class room and there she found out that he was also first year when he got confused about his classroom. Arman smiled to himself when he remembered her confused epressions when he had stopped in his way and when she had an angry expression when she found he ragged her own class mate.
He had loved that expressions and from then onwards he always wanted to see that expression and he had found that ridhima was often short tempered. He thought about her relationships with others. She loves anjali and anjali loves her, they are never away from each other. She was friends with everyone she knew except him, arman. He liked to see ridhima getting irritated and angry on him because whenever he teased her she left everything else. Now that they'll be leaving college what was he going to do? OH OFCOURSE THEY WERE ALL GOING TO SANJIVANI FOR INTENSHIP. Cool so she'll be there as well. He had got used to tease her and play pranks on her as she was the best one to play prank on.
