Tere liye (RTMC ff)(Part 17 in Pg 49) - Page 7

(St.john's college, the most popular college of Mumbai)

(College gate)

Adi's black car enters through the gate and as they enter the college premises he slows down the speed and finally comes to a halt. He gently opens the door of the car and as he comes out from it a slow breeze gently brushes his hair, ruffling them a bit. He, then, takes out his sunglasses and spins it in his finger. It is enough to stop the heartbeat of the girls present there, afterall who can resist his charm. His cute smile adds to the mesmerizement of the girls present there. And they too smile seeing him but its more of a mesmerized smile than a natural one and they sigh happily.

One girl: "hai din ba din yeh toh aur bhi handsome hota ja raha hain."

Another girl: "Hai kash Adi mera hota"

Their converstaion is loud enough to be missed and Adi as usual gives a careless smile and waves at all of them in general, not paying much attention to this as he's quite used to this.

By this time, mouli has also come out of the car and seeing the usual scenario she shakes her head and gives out a nothing-can-happen-to-this- girls kind of sigh.

Mouli now moves to Adi's side and places a hand on his shoulder: "Chalein Mr. Kishan Kanhaiyya! Aapke gopiyon ke karan main late nehi hona chahti. Aapko aakhiyan larana hain toh saukh se laraiye. Main chalti hu fir."

And she withdraws her hand and moves forth but Adi grabs her wrist: "Arey arey mujhe chorke akele kahan ja rahi hain? Ab sab mujhpe fida hain isme meri kya galti? Maine inse thori hi na kaha hain. Aur waise bhi tu toh janti hi hain ki main sirf ek hi larki ko dekhta hu."

Mouli: "Accha aur woh kaun hain?"

Adi (feigning amazement): "Mere samne hi toh khari hain. Aaina dikhaon kya tujhe?"

Mouli can no longer keep a straight face and a broad grin crosses her lips.

Mouli (hitting Adi lightly on the arm): "Adi tu bhi na! Flirt karne ka ek bhi mauka nehi jane deta. Abhi flirting bandh kar aur andar chal."

Saying this she grabs his arm and drags him alongwith him.

The rest of the girls are, however, gazing at the duo with utmost jealousy in their eyes and cursing themselves for not being in mouli's place and hoping against hope that one day Adi will come to them.

(College Canteen)

Both Adi and mouli enters toghether in the well decorated canteen which has the appearance more of a cafteria than of a college canteen.

As soon as they enter the canteen, a voice calls them: "hoye Adi- mouli"

As they turn back they see a boy of their age waving at them from a table at one corner of the canteen where three other boys and a girl are sitting, leaving two vacant seats in the middle. It is the table on which they usually settle down to gossip and for merriment as well as for serious discussions. Now all the boys and the girl have turned and are looking at them with cheerful smiles on their faces. They smile back at them and Adi waves at them. Then they both advance towards the table. As they reach the table, the boy who had been waving them and called them asks: "kya hua tum dono aaj late ho gaye?"

Mouli (settling down on her chair): "Aur tune kya expect kiya tha Gaurav? Ek toh iske (pointing to Adi) shararton se chutkara nehi milta upar se iski gopiyan toh hain hi, bas jaise apne dilbar ke kadmon pe mar mitne ki der hain (And makes a face)."

All, including Adi, starts laughing at the way she described it.

Adi (making an innocent face) : "Ab saari larkiyan mujhpe marti hain toh isme mera kya kasoor? Ab Adi hain hi aisa ke '."

But he is cut in between by Mouli: "Bas bas hum samajh gaye. Ab khud apni aur tarif karne ki jarurat nehi hain."

The other girl (smiles): "mouli kahin tujhe jalan toh nehi ho rahi na?"

Mouli (taken aback): "Jalan? Mujhe? Kyun?"

The girl: " Nehi saari larkiyan Adi pe jo marti hain toh'."

Mouli: "Gauri, tu pagal ho gayi hain. Main aur iske

(pointing to Adi) liye jealous feel karungi? Waise agar isko koi larki pasand aa gayi na toh bahut accha hoga, kamsekam meri toh jaan chutegi (And laughs)."

Adi(feigning sadness): "Mouli, aisa kehke tune mere dilke karoron tukre kar diye. (calling to another boy) Oye Harsh, mujhe apna kandha de yaar."

Harsh (laughing): "kyun yaar tu itna dukhi ho gaya ke ab suicide karne wala hain kya? Fir toh ek mere nehi balki char char kandhon ke jarurat hain. Don't worry hum charon hain na tere dost ' Main, Gaurav, Mehul aur Raja, ab kaam nehi aayenge toh kab aayenge,aakhir dost hote kisliye hain? Hain na?"

Adi: "obe oye tujhe mere marne ki jaldi hain kya? Main rone ke liye kandha maang raha tha, marne ke liye nehi. Waise bhi is Mouli ke liye main apna jaan kyun du bhala? Mujhe pagal kutte ne kata hain kya?"

Mouli (pinching him): Adi ke bacche!!

Adi (wincing in pain): "ouch!!"

Mehul: "Mouli na sahi, par kahin na kahin aisi koi toh hogi jiske aankhon mein apna Adi bhi kho jayega aur kahega main kuch bhi kar sakta hu, apne jaan bhi de sakta hu, sirf tere liye."

Adi (laughing at this): "oye mere prem kabi, aasman se utar aur zameen pe aa ja. Aisa kuch nehi hoga, kamsekam mere saath toh hargeez nehi. Saari larkiyan mere diwani hain, main kisika diwana nehi bannewala aur nahi kisi ke pyar mein pagal hone wala hu. Samjha na!"

Raja: "You never know yaar. Kehte hain pyar kiya nehi jaata, wo toh bas ho jaata hain."

Adi (narrowing his eyes): "Accha aur tujhe exactly kitni love affairs ki experience hain, MR. Love Guru?"

Raja (caught offbalance): "Ahh'nehi'.wo'maine aisa kahin suna tha."

Adi (getting up from his seat): "Wohi toh main keh raha hu yaar. Yeh sab sirf kahi suni baatein hain aur kuch bhi nehi. Real life mein aisa nehi hota. Mujhe kabhie bhi kisi se bhi pyar nehi hoga. Is duniya mein aisi koi larki nehi hain jo Adi ko diwana bana sakti hain, got it!!"

(With these words of him the scene changes)

(Dublin, Ireland)

Through a beautiful street of dublin a car is running at a high speed. A girl is leaning slightly towards the window and the rear view mirror of the car shines with a sumwhat blurred reflection of a beautiful face.

Driver: "Beta paromita khirki bandh car lijiye, aapko thand lag jayegi."

With these words of him a pair of beautiful eyes turn towards him.

Paromita: "Of ho kaka, aapko kitni baar kaha hain Paromita nehi Pari kahiye ya Pam, sweet n simple. Aur itna chinta mat kijiye aap, main ab bari ho gayi hu aur apna khayal rakh sakhti hu, koi thand wand nehi lagegi.

Driver (smiles): "Par mere liye toh aap humesha wohi choti si pari hi rahengi jise imli ka achaar bahut pasand tha aur jiske liye meri patni imli ka achaar banaya karti thi aur main apne saamne bithake unko khilata tha."

Paromita: "Tha matlab? Tha nehi kaka hain. Abhi bhi hain aur humesha rahega. Waise is baat se khayal aaya, kahan hain mera achaar? Chaliye ladi dijiye mujhe. jaldiiiii"

Driver (handing over a jar of pickle to her): "Dekha aap bilkul nehi badli, abhi bhi wohi choti si bacchi hain."

Paromita (smiles and takes the jar from the driver): "Aur kabhi badlungi bhi nehi."

By this time they reach the gates of a beautiful mansion with the nameplate titled Roy Mansion.

The car enter through the gates and as soon as they enter and the car comes to a halt, Paromita opens the door and steps out and is about to run in when the driver calls her: "Arey beta apni trophy toh lete jaiye"

Listening to him she wheels around and it is now that her face becomes visible. The slow, soft breeze makes her hair fall on her face which further adds to the beauty of the face. She grins somewhat apologetically for being absent minded which further makes her look even more beautiful. And hits her forehead slightly with her fist.

Pari: "Main bhi na, ekdum se bhool gayi thi."

And she takes her trophy from the Driver's hand and runs inside again.

Driver (smiling and shaking his head): Yeh larki kabhi bari nehi hogi, humesha ghore pe sawar rehti hain.

(scene sifts to mumbai,India)

(Canteen, ST.John's college)

Mehul: You ever know Adi, jindagi mein kabhi bhi kuch bhi ho sakta hain.

Adi: Bilkul ho sakta hain. Jaise ke abhi mujhe joote par sakte hain.

All the rest (shocked): Kya??? Kyun???

Adi (smiles): Arey agar main abhi project submit nehi karunga toh Rajveer sir se toh mujhe joote hi parenge na.

All sigh with relief. Mouli: Tu bhi na Adi! Kis baat ko kis baat se jor deta hain.

Adi (grinning broadly): Ab main toh aisa hi hu, lena hain toh lo warna jane do.

And this again causes everyone to laugh hard clutching their stomachs and waving them a bye Adi gears up and sprints out of the place in almost no time.

Mouli: yeh kabhi nehi sudharne wala! Pagal! (And smiles)
