Chapter-13 Part C
Gunjan reached college, with her eyes glued on the notes. She walked in the corridor, and finding a silent place, she sat on the bench. She revised her lessons, and tried to forget everything, but everytime she did that, her mind got diverted towards the last day's incident. The way she was caught with the chit, then Professor started questioning her, she was insulted by the other students, and she was even taken to the principal office! These all things would never bother some other person, but a girl like gunjan, who took even the smallest things on her heart, gave importance to such incidents.
"fir se kal waali baat sochne lagi chashmish?"
Gunjan's thoughts were disturbed with the familiar voice, and when she moved her eyes to look beside, she found samrat sitting beside her on the bench, with his killer dude smile playing on his lips.
"nahi samrat… main toh ye notes padh rahi thi…." Gunjan smiled slightly, pointing towards the notes which she was holding in her hands.
"haan, aankhein toh notes par hi hain, par dimaag kahin aur hai….." he said, "chashmish, jab tumhe jhooth bolna nahi aata hai toh fir try kyun karti ho?"
"na…..nahi samrat….. aisa kuchh nahi hai…." She stammered.
"toh fir?" he looked at her.
Gunjan remained silent. She had nothing to say, because samrat was right! He smiled slightly, as even he knew the reason.
"chashmish, maine kal bhi tumse kaha tha, ki jo bhi bura hua, use bhool jao…. Ab toh tumhe koi galat nahi samajhte hai na?" he said. "ab sab kuchh normal hai, so just relax…."
"samrat……. Main pareshan nahi hun….. bas kabhi kabhi darr lagta hai, ki agar ye baat mere bhaiya ko pata chali toh…… toh kya hoga?" Gunjan said in a fearful tone.
"Tumhare bhaiya tumhe kha thodi jayenge?" he smiled, "tumne hi kaha tha na, ki tumhare bhaiya tumse bahut pyaar karte hain? Fir wo tum par sabse zyada trust bhi karenge!"
"main jaanti hun samrat, par tum mere bhaiya ko nahi jaante ho….."
"Oh, let me guess, tumhare bhaiya wo typical brother types hain kya? As in bahut gusse waale, jo apni beheno ko lekar over-possessive hote hain?" samrat grinned.
"samrat!" gunjan glared at him, "mere bhaiya ke baare mein kuchh mat kaho. Aur waise bhi, tum bhi toh ek bhai ho…… aur apni behen ko lekar tum bhi possessive ho!"
"Not at all! Jiski behen nupur jaisi ho, us bhai ko apni behen ki nahi, balki apne jijaji ki chinta karni chahiye!" Samrat said, and then laughed out loud on his own joke.
Gunjan was a bit irritated at first, but then even she smiled widely. But her smile disappeared when she saw nupur staring at samrat angrily, with her both hands resting on either side of her hips. It seemed as if she'll murder him right then and there itself!
"toh mere peeth peechhe meri kuchh zyada hi taareefein ho rahi hain, hai na mere pyaare bhai??" Nupur grinned, as she patted on samrat's shoulders.
He suddenly stopped laughing, and with a normal look on his face, he stood up, as if ready to listen to nupur's lecture again! While gunjan remained at her place, waiting to see how samrat reacts now!
"woh…… main…… main toh bas….."
"main toh bas kya? Bus chala rahe the?" Nupur said angrily.
"Nahi nupur, main toh bas….. chashmish ka mood theek karne ki koshish kar raha tha…. Hai na chashmish? Bolo haan!" he said, looking at gunjan and gesturing her to agree with him.
"toh uska mood theek karne ke liye tu mera mazak udayega?" she was about to hit him, when samrat took a step back.
"maine mazak thodi udaaya….. woh…. Woh toh apne aap ud gaya!" he smiled widely, making nupur even more annoyed.
"achha? Ye mat bhoolo, ki tumhare iss toote haath ki bhar paayi main kar rahi hun…. Tumhara exam main likh rahi hun!" she said proudly.
"usi baat ka toh darr hai…." He said, and then looked at an angry nupur, "ermm… mera matlab ki thanks a lot nupur…. Tum nahi hoti, toh mera kya hota!!" he grinned.
"tujhe toh main ghar mein dekh loongi!" she said threateningly, and then walked towards gunjan. "gunjan, samrat ne theek kaha…. Tum kyun puraani baton ko yaad karke apna mood off kar rahi ho?"
Gunjan smiled.
"aur main tumhe ek advice deti hun, jise hamesha yaad rakhna…… tum logon ke saamne khud ko jitna kamzor dikhaogi na, wo sab tumhara utna hi fayeda lenge…… tum kuchh bolti nahi ho, kisi ko jawaab nahi deti ho, isliye sab tumhe kamzor saabit kar sakte hain…… par yahan tumhare jaise log nahi hote hain gunjan….. aur na hi yahan tumhe koi samajhne waala hai….. isliye tumhe khud ko badalna padega…."
Nupur smiled and then walked away from there, gesturing samrat to talk to gunjan. He smiled and then moved a bit closer to gunjan.
"chashmish, nupur ne jo bhi kaha hai wo sahi hai, bas uski ek baat bilkul mat manna!" he said.
"kya?"
"jo usne last mein kaha tha…… ki tumhe khud ko badalna hoga…" he smiled, "tumhe khud ko badalne ki koi zarurat nahi hai chashmish…….. kyunki tum jaisi ho, waise hi sabka dil jeet leti ho….. ..tumhara dil bahut saaf hai….. aur tumhari yehi baat mujhe sabse zyada pasand hai…. Isliye khud ko kabhi badalne ki koshish bhi mat karna…. I like you the way you are!"
Gunjan's face lit up with a shy smile, as samrat complimented her. They both thought this to be friendship! When the things were going beyond friendship and almost the entire world could notice the blooming love between them, samrat and gunjan remained on the friendship status only! Nupur too stood behind a pillar and saw everything….. She expected samrat to say to gunjan that she doesn't needs to change herself, because he likes her the way she is! Nupur could easily sense the love between them from her own experience!
"Ab thoda revision kar lein chashmish?" Samrat whispered softly, his warm breathe caressing her already blushing cheeks.
"Hmm….." she said, moving her eyes down due to shyness, once again started revising.
Samrat took his notes to revise, and went on repeating the answers so loudly that students standing even at a far distance could hear him. Gunjan smiled at his care-free nature and admired his immature behaviour. How cuter he could get now! Though the notes were lying open in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on him and her mind occupied with his thoughts only! It was then, that samrat saw her looking at him in this way.
"Kya hua chashmish? Kya soch rahi ho?" he asked.
"Woh…. Woh…. Kuchh…..kuchh bhi nahi…." She stammered, and smiled slightly. Samrat began revising, but gunjan was now having doubts on her own behaviour….. She never looked at any person in the way she was looking at him. What was there that attracted her towards him? Why did she behave so awkward sometimes in front of him? What was so fascinating about samrat, that her heart felt good while thinking of him?
"Gunjan….. padhai karo!" she cajoled herself and then began revising.
Bell rang after sometime, and all the students entered in class. They settled themselves on the seats of their respective roll numbers and waited for the question paper to be distributed.
OoO
After the exam, all the students left the class in hurry. Gunjan too walked out of the class, but she clashed to someone, and was about to fall, when she felt a strong hand snaking around her waist, and her eyes were shut tight due to fear. The touch seemed familiar to her, and when she realized that she didn't fall, she opened her eyes in slight surprise, only to see samrat's smiling face. She found herself in his arms, while his chocolaty brown eyes fixed on her angelic face. Gunjan's hands involuntarily found their way to his back, as she hold onto him for support. Samrat loved this very moment….. when there was no one around them, they were all alone…….. And the girl, whom he dreamt of, was in his arms. But because his one hand was fractured, he had put the entire pressure on his other hand to hold gunjan.
"Ouchh…!" He growled due to pain in his hand.
Gunjan came out of her thoughts and quickly stood up properly, and then caressed his hand with much concern. "Zyada dard ho raha hai samrat? I'm sorry…."
Samrat looked up at her in surprise……. Was she saying sorry because she fell in his arms? How could be she sorry….. Because he loved the feeling of having her in his arms……. Samrat was still thinking of it and had a slight smile on his face, which was noticed by a worrying gunjan.
"tum….. muskura kyun rahe ho samrat?" she asked in surprise.
"Umm…. Wo…. Wo actually……. Tum meri fikar kar rahi ho na, toh bas yehi dekh ke achha lag raha hai!" he replied, trying to suppress his smile.
"achha, toh apne aas paas ke logon ka attention lene ka ye naya tareeka hai?" she grinned.
"Not bad chashmish…….. mere saath reh rehkar tum bilkul mere jaisi baatein karne lagi ho……" he commented, "lagta hai tumhe saath rehne ki aadat ho gayi hai!"
The moment samrat said this line, gunjan's eyes widened in surprise and she looked up at him as if he had caught her red-handed. How clearly he read her mind! Samrat winked at her, while shy blushed and looked away from him.
"toh canteen chalein?"
"nahi samrat……. Tum chalo, main washroom se aati hun."
Gunjan said and walked towards other direction, while samrat made his way towards canteen.
Samrat was having fun in canteen with dia, uday, benji and nupur. They were chatting as if today exams were over and all they needed to do was some fun, which they did everyday as usual!
"waise candy, Benji tumhe itne dino se date pe le jaane ki zid kar raha hai, tum kyun bechari ko mana karke uska dil tod rahi ho?" samrat asked, grinning at an irritated benji.
"sammy, agar wo saamne se aake puchhe, toh main kabhi mana nahi karungi….. par ye letters se, ishaare se puchhta hai, isme meri kya galti!" dia said annoyingly. "himmat karke mujhse puchhe, main use kha thodi jaungi!"
"dia, himmat se bechare ne college ki aadhi ladkiyon se date pe jaane ki baat ki thi, par un ladkiyon ne ulta use thappad de maara!" nupur laughed.
"tum sab mera mazak banana band karo…. Aur tum dia….." benji glared at dia, "tum meri girlfriend hoke meri insult kar rahi ho…. Shame on you!"
"main tumhari insult nahi kar rahi benji……. Main toh bas sach bol rahi hun…. Dekho, ab toh nupur di bhi iss baat ko maanti hain!" dia giggled.
"waise guys, mujhe tum logon se ek important baat discuss karni hai…." Samrat said.
"oye, tu ab mere upar koi joke mat maarna…….." Benji warned samrat, pointing his finger towards him.
"abey nahi yaar…. Teri baat nahi hai, chashmish ke baare mein hai." He said normally.
"Kya hua sammy?" dia asked worriedly, "Is everything all right?"
"No, nothing is all right. Wo meri best friend hai, aur main use sad nahi dekh sakta hun…."
"Toh ye important baat hai?" Benji asked in sarcasm.
"Benji…. Poori baat toh sun. Kal jo bhi hua, usse chashmish ko bahut bura laga….. she was feeling so insulted! Bhale hi wo innocent prove kar di gayi ho, fir bhi use bura lag raha hai…."
"Bura toh lagega hi samrat…… poori class ne uski insult ki, use kya kuchh nahi kaha……." Nupur said sadly. "Pata hai, maine ye baat mayank se kahi, toh wo keh raha tha ki iske peechhe zarur kisi ka master plan hoga!"
"plan? Par itna cheap aur ghatiya plan kiska ho sakta hai?" Dia sighed, and then looked at Benji, who was making faces as if he knew whose plan it was.
"nahi nupur……. Koi aisa plan kyun karega? Waise bhi, is college mein chashmish se kisi ko kya problem ho sakti hai?" samrat looked at nupur questioningly.
"kyun, kya ye kaam she……"
Benji was almost about to take sheena's name, when samrat looked at him in confusion, and dia too looked at him, as if she was gesturing him not to take her name.
"what she?" samrat asked.
"sammy…….umm…… benji ke kehne ka matlab tha….. ki…. Wo…. She….. she…"
"kya she she laga rakha hai? Ye donuts try karo, bahut tasty hai!" uday said, offering a plate to Dia.
"shut-up dodo! Yahan hum itna serious matter discuss kar rahe hain aur tumhe donuts ki padi hai?" Dia hit him hard on his shoulders.
"iska toh dimaag hi donut ki tarah hai……. Donut kahinka!" Benji commented, looking at Uday in a weird way.
"chup bey…." Uday said angrily.
"guys guys…… donuts ke baare mein baad mein discuss kar lenge…. Filhaal toh mujhe kuchh aur hi lag raha hai…." Samrat said.
"kya?" nupur asked.
"aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai na, ki kisi ne ye purposely na kiya ho, par galti se ho gaya ho?"
"tum kehna kya chahte ho sammy?"
"I mean, ki ho sakta hai ki chit kisi aur ne banayi ho…. Aur jab use laga ki wo pakda jayega, toh usne darr ki wajah se wo chit neeche phek di ho, aur wo chit chashmish ke seat ke neeche chali gayi!" he explained.
"Hmm…. Ye bhi possible hai!" Benji exclaimed, after a moment of thinking carefully.
"Par ab sawaal ye hai, ki wo chit aakhir kiski thi?" Nupur asked looking at samrat.
"Ye pata toh main laga ke hi rahunga……. Aur wo bhi exams khatam hone ke pehle…..aur jiski bhi wajah se ye hua hai, use pata chalega, ki samrat ke friends se panga lene ka kya matlab hota hai!" samrat said, with a confident look on his face.
Meanwhile, in washroom, gunjan was splashing water on her face to get freshened up, and when she started drying her face with towel, she carefully noticed herself in the mirror. For a moment, she stopped, and kept on looking herself, as if she was not seeing her image, but some other girl. Her mind was then diverted towards what samrat said to her few minutes ago, that she was becoming too much like him, and had also become habitual of having him around! Her cheeks turned crimson red, and face lit up with a shy smile when she thought about him, and whatever he said.
"Kya samrat theek keh raha tha?? Main…….. main uske jaisi ho gayi hun….? Aur….. mujhe…….. uske saath ki aadat……. Ho gayi hai??" she said to herself. "Ye kya ho raha hai mujhe?? Wo sirf mera dost hai……. My best friend……. Fir agar mujhe uske saath ki aadat hai, toh isme mujhe itna ajeeb kyun lag raha hai? Ek dost ko apne dost ke saath ki aadat toh hogi hi na………. Ya fir……… mujhe kuchh zyada hi……. Uske saath ki aadat….. hai?"
Precap-:
Nupur- tumhe nahi lagta samrat…… ki tum aajkal kuchh zyada hi chashmish chashmish karne lage ho?
Samrat- I know…… kyunki wo meri sabse achhi dost hai….. my best….. no, my special friend.
Nupur- special friend hai……. Ya fir some one special?
