Geet Handa - 2 yrs back...FLASHBACK!!
Chapter 1: Punge le lo.
1st week of college: JNU.
Normal day'everything seemed to be going on as usual, students settling in and getting used to the college timings and classes.
In the pavilion, two boys were sitting on the stairs. One was a rugged tall buff boy and the other was a shorter one , lying on the stair with his head propped on his hand.
''Yaar aaj bore nahi ho raha?'', said the taller one. He wore shades and expensive looking clothes. His attitude exuded pride and arrogance.
''Sid, tujhe kis din bore nahi hota?''
''Haan woh bhi theek hain. Jab tak saddi sherni nahi aa jaati , din dheere hi chalega.''.
''Aa kab rahi hain?''
''Aaj toh der karegi'kal raat ko itni pee rakhi thi'.par yaar usko chadti nahi hain...Kaash hume bhi '.''
''Tujhe pata hain ki tujhe chadti hain to itna peeta kyun hain?, Smirked Mayank
'Abbe, khotte, kyun ki tu nahi peeta'ab tere hisse ko kisi ne toh gutukana chahiye na.''
He flips open his phone and speed dials a no.
''Maataji, aaj aapke darshan honge?''
''Ulle de patthe, tere peeche khadi hoon''.
He jerks hi head up and sees her and grins. ''Toh'sar pakad ke nahi aayi tu aaj?''
''Pooch mat yaar'iss hangover ki toh..'', said Geet.
Geet!! She was about 5''6', slender with crinkly brown hair and big aviator shades on eyes. She was dressed in a black vest, baggy cargoes, big boots and a spiked bracelet. Her hair was let loose and reached till the middle of her back. She had a 'no' nonsense' look on her face.
She came next to Sid and sat on the step he'd plonked himself. She put her head on her lap groaned and shut her eyes. He smiled and ruffled her hair playfully.
Sid: ''Yaar college shuru hue ek hi toh hafta hua hain'lets have some fun, dude'''
Mayank: I'm game..whaddya have in mind?
Sid: what is the new fresher crowd like?
Mayank'I see where your going!!( with a twisted smile)
He pulled out his phone and instructed a few guys to round up the juniors and freshers and come to the pavilion pronto.
15 minutes later:
"Flap your arms like a chicken and repeat Jack and Jill , in a duck's voice", said Siddhant.
There was a group of seniors sitting on the steps of the auditorium and a row of students who looked like the freshers from each batch.They stood in a row and looked apprehensive and a few looked terrified. Each senior had a bored look on their face but they all seemed to be echoing the mood of the 3 people who sat in the middle of the group.
Siddhant Arora,sat with his back leaning against another boy and his hands at his sides. Girls' eyes flickered to him and their bodies were unconsciously turned towards him. His shades prevented them from knowing where his eyes flickered and they kept looking towards him with anticipation. He knew exactly the effect he had on girls and enjoyed it, being quite a flirt.
Next to him sat Geet, whose face was hidden to the rest of the crowd as she seemed to be asleep. Only her crinkly curly shiny brown hair seemed to be spread all over her head and back. There was a foot's distance between her and the rest of the crowd. No one seems to be comfortable enough to sit close to her.
At their feet Mayank was spread out on the step leaning on one arm, seemed to be mildly curious about the proceedings of the ragging. Mayank Shroff, as he was known to the general crowd was pretty smart for the normal human species. Going to college was just a means to an end, for him. He could easily top college and do whatever it is that he wished to'but !!...
The new student who seemed scared enough to faint, flapped his hand around and tried squawking the nursery rhyme out. He was sweating is his fear and his glasses had slipped to the end of his nose. The crowd roared with laughter. Sid gave a lopsided smirk while Mayank gave a pitying look and motioned the next boy to step forward. The junior was a short fat boy with a buttoned up shirt right to the very 1st button. His brown pants and shabby floaters looked out of place and his slick oiled hair was plastered to his face and the seat was making his hair and oil look like it was about to drip a sort of gooey substance. His entire expression was pitiful and by the look on his face he looked like he wasn't about to be spared.
'Name?'
'Debashish Chatopadhayay'
Chato'.what?', sneered Sid.
'Ch..ch..chatopadhyay , Sir', stuttered the boy.
'Look at him '..he's scared enough to wet his pants', shouted one senior.
'Did he do something to his hair or did he fall in a vat of glue?, 'smirked another one
'Oi specimen, tu koi 70s ke museum se uth ke aaya hain kya?'
Nahi, yeh naye style ka hangover hoga''human disaster', screeched one of the senior females.
Suddenly , a tall lean boy grabbed Deboshish's arm and told him, Your're Deboshish Chatopadhay? Professor Sinha wants to meet you. Some problem in your registration number.
Without waiting to see who was sitting in front of him, he pulled the boy out of there and walked out of the area with an arm around Deboshish.There was complete silence for a minute or two.The crowd looked stunned and didn't react for another minute. Finally a boy spoke from the back of the group in a dazed voice'..''Aaj to Sinha sir chutti par hain naa?'
''Arre haan yaar, he's got some flu-shu, man.''
''Toh phir uss bongaali babu ko kaun kheench ke le gaya?''
''Yaar uss lambe ko toh college main pehle dekha nahi tha yaar.''
One of the freshers opened his mouth and said in an eager voice, ' Sir he is also a fresher . He was standing in front of me in the queue for admission'.
'So is that how he knew that Sinha called the tingu?'
''But Sinha's on leave u idiot!''
Geet finally raised her head, pushed her shades on her hair to reveal almond shaped hazel eyes lined heavily with kohl- and said in a loud and clear frustrated voice,' You idiotic GITS! That chap just fooled you and saved a fellow fresher's butt. Teen saal ho gaye college main aa kar aur abhi tak samajh nahi aat kab koi tumhaare naak ke neeche se tumhe bewakoof bana gaya.
Sid, suddenly snapping his shades off and standing in anger spat. ''That bl***y fresher thinks he can just step into my college and do whatever he likes? He's gonna get it good''.
Mayank looked up and smirked and said in a playful voice,' oops looks like smartass just insulted the sher, yaaro. Uski toh aaj lag gayi''.
Sid looked at the boys next to him and ordered them to go find that smart alec.'' Get him to me now!''
Geet pulled out her shades, wore them and looked up at Sid. ''Dude, quit over reacting, man.' having said this, she pulled out her phone and looked busy.
''Bloody hell, Geet! Tujhe kya lagta hian,main use itne aasani se jaane doonga. He has no clue who he messed with! Aaj toh uski laga daloonga!! ''He angrily pulled her shades off her face.
Geet just ignored him and continued playing with her phone. Mayank returned to his pose and looked at the rest of the freshers and told them with a smirk. 'chalo lets see what we have in store for you''.''.
Just then the group of guys returned with the said boy in question. He walked lazily back to them, showing no fear in his eyes. He just looked Sid in the eye with a questioning look.
Sid looked arrogantly at him and asked him, ''Fresher ,huh!!''
The boy just stared.He was tall and lean. His arms were muscled and were laced with veins.His hair was short and messed up, and his clear brown eyes looked straight at Sid fearlessly. He was quite good looking though not as good looking as Sid.He was dressed in a plain T-shirt and loose jeans.
Kya hua? Abhi mooh nahi khul rahah hain kya?
The boy just stared back at him. He didn't seem the least scared of him.
'So is that the best you could do to save that chit of a boy?'
'Kya hua, Darr gaye kya?', taunted one of the seniors.
'Abh bol bhi de ki koi excuse nahi hain toh mooh kholne ki himmat nahi ho rahi hain!'
'Darpok kahin ka. Phattu'
He finally opened his mouth and spoke, 'I don't need to feel afraid of insecure bullies who take pleasure in putting down others so that they feel better about themselves. There's nothing great in that'.and It's not something I respect. All of you are just cowards who pick on others who are smaller than themselves. Is that what all this pride is about? Issme itne udne waali kya baat hain?'
Geet raised her head and stared at him a tad bit arrogantly. Sid walked down to the boy's level and stared at him in his face and said aggressively, ''Naam kya hain bey tera?'
The boy stared back at him in the eye and said, ''Nikhil Chopra''
Sid:''Dude, u have no idea who you just messed with. Yahan sab hume salaam thokte hain. Apne hadh main rehna abhi se seekh le''.
Nikhil,''Sorry to disappoint'par woh kya hain naa'bachpan se mujhe kuch hatke karne ki aadat hain. I don't like to follow the crowd.''
'Ohhh'you don't do you'''..Said Sid mockingly, making the crowd laugh with him.
''So Nikhil, lets see how smart you are to get out of this one? Lets see you carry all you things from the end of this pavilion, to the benches there.'' The crowd looked at Sid confused. '''But wait, there a catch, you can't use your feet'.carry it however you wish , but your feet better not touch the ground. Geddit?''
The crowd hooted and cheered Sid, who stood taking in all the attention.
Geet kept staring at Nikhil. She didn't have Sid's anger on her face, neither did she look indifferent like Mayank. She just stared at him with a certain arrogance and a little bit of curiosity. Nikhil looked like he was about to ignore Sid and walk off when, he glanced at Geet and something seemed to flicker off his face. He looked Sid in the eye again.
Nikhil smirked and pushed his leg through his bags and in a swift movement did a handstand and 'walked' to the benches , plonked his stuff on them and stood up again. It was clear to the onlookers that he did that just to put Sid in his place and not cuz he was yielding to Sid's 'higher' authority. The smile was wiped off Sid's now angry and glaring face. He was fuming because he knew he had been outclassed and got the better of. Nikhil, did a mock bow at the lot and walked off whistling.
''Bloody hell, this is not the end of it! He has no idea who he's meddled with'', shouted Sid, throwing his shades to the ground.
"Relax man, he's new here. Life is about to get tough for him", said Mayank.
Everyone knew the battle had just begun!
But, life takes a turn quite unexpected'.none of them knew what was waiting for them around the corner!
