FANFIC: 'Jeevansaathi' - Page 2

Setting: St. John's University.

The wind has died down but the chill nips at Kripa as she gets out of the taxi she hailed to take her to college. As she gets out, she closes her eyes and prays that today goes well and she gets classes with good teachers. She pays the taxi driver and with a smile starts walking towards college.
She can remember the first day of the first year of college. She shakes her head as she remembers how forlorning the college looked and how miserable she was that she received all the toughest teachers. What made it even worse was, as she recalled with a cringe, she couldn't fit in with the college crowd. Rowdy, loud, shameless, confident, all but innocent Kripa found the new college crowd to be. She couldn't be any of those…

Someone calls out Kripa's name.
Kripa turns and suddenly the day took on a brighter glow.

Aliya runs up to Kripa.

Aliya: Are yaar, pehle din mein tumhe mujhe running per majbur kiya?

Aliya and Kripa take one look at each other and start giggling.

Kripa: Aliya tum bhi na!

Aliya: Acha, mujhe breakfast chaiya, lets go to the dining hall first yaar, we still have 15 minutes.

Before Kripa can say anything, Aliya takes her hands and leads her through the college entrance and up the stairs to a clean, spacious dining hall.
As Aliya stands in line to get food, Kripa offers to reserve a table since she had cereal at home.

Aliya smiles and says: what would I do without you yaar!

Kripa: ask my mom, she said the same thing.

Both girls laugh.

As Kripa finds a table and sits at it, she remembers how she made it through the first year of college anyway. It was all because of Aliya.


Flashback:
Aliya had been in the library trying to figure out the biology homework and not succeeding at all. Kripa was doing the same, only with much ease and comfort. Aliya had looked at Kripa and smiled thinking of how different Kripa acted from the rest of the college kids. Studious, well-mannered, Kripa reminded Aliya of everything her older sister, Tanya was. She missed Tanya a lot now that she was married and settled in Dubai.
So she decided to introduce herself to Kripa.
Aliya: hi!

Kripa had looked up and smiled and said: hi

Aliya: may I? she said as she pointed to the chair across from Kripa.

Kripa: hmm? Oh yes, of course.

Aliya: thanks! By the way, my name is Aliya, and youre Kripa right?

Kripa: yes I am…but…how did you…

Aliya: …know? Are yaar, everyone knows you, you've got to be the smartest kid in class!

Kripa: wow, I don't know about the smartest, but still, thank you for your kind words.

Aliya: of course, no problem! Actually, kya um biology hw kari ho?

Kripa: haan, im almost done.

Aliya: kya? I don't even know how to start it…

Aliya had gotten a confused face on.
Kripa laughed

Kripa: I can help you if you want.

Aliya: would you? That would be awesome yaar!

Kripa: sure thing…yaar.

Kripa had looked at Aliya, and Aliya had looked at Kripa, and both had burst out laughing.
And so their friendship had began. Aliya and Kripa were always together from then, supporting each other through rough times, and sharing in each other's happiness during better times.


Back to Present:
Aliya runs up to Kripa and snaps her finger.

Aliya: what happened yaar? Tum tho kogiyi!

Kripa: oh! Nothing yaar, bas sochratha ke kaise dost ho tum.

Aliya: kaisa dost hoon main?

Kripa: bohot…ACHA!

Both girls laugh and Aliya reaches over and hugs Kripa.

Meanwhile:

The morning silence is broken as cars start honking simultaneously. Angry voices erupt in curses as the morning traffic threatens to make everyone stuck in it late to their respective destinies.
Angad too honks his car horn but to no avail. Neither does the traffic move nor does time slow down. Angad looks at his watch and realizes he has 15 minutes left to go before his first class.

Angad: shit, are...! abhey Angad, why didnt you wake up on time?! he scolds himself.

But as usual he had heard the alarm clock ring but had switched if off a second later.
Angad didnt want to be late. He didnt know why, but every first day of school in all his life, he had been late. Always.
Sure it got to him, but there was a strange reward for never making it to school on time on the first day: the first days always brough positivity into his life. They were never bad days, despite the late entry.

Angad: aaj kya hoga?

He honks his car horn again, but the traffic only moves slightly, but enough to drive Angad crazy with anticipation and worry.

Angad: I hope this is worth it...

Continued...

Setting: St.John's University. Angad's and Kripa's first class has started.

A small altima rushes past the security tollbooth in the student parking lot and smoothly and efficiently fits into a parking place. Angad quickly hops out of the altima and starts running towards the college entrance when he remembers he has forgotten to lock his car. He runs back to do so...

Meanwhile, in the introductory chemistry class:

The class is quiet as they struggle with a small dose of chemical balancing equations in their notebooks. But at the front of the class, Kripa balances the rather long chemical equation Professor Ganguli has given her with much ease. Numbers and Symbols flow out from her onto the blackboard as though balancing equations is the simplest of tasks.
Kripa turns around and smiles hopefully at Professor Ganguli.

Professor Ganguli: well done Ms. Sharma; Im glad to see some people pay attention in class.
With that Professory Ganguli turns to take a look at the class and then returns to Kripa.

Professory Ganguli: You may sit down Ms.Sharma

Kripa does.

Professory Ganguli: Ms. Sharma has shown a simpler way to deal with balancing equations such as the ones I have given to you. If you all would direct your attention towards the blackboard, I will show you precisely how to tackle this task at hand.

Professory Ganguli moves close to the blackboard and points to the first part of the chemical equation.

Professory Ganguli: Firstly, this is a basic chemical equation but the tricky part is that-

Angad suddenly rushes into the classroom, looks around, and spots Professory Ganguli. He rushes up to her and opens his mouth to apologize for his lateness when Professor holds up her hand.

Professor Ganguli: Let me guess, you must be Mr.Khanna.

Angad: yes! I am so sorry for my lateness I-

Professory Ganguli: this is college sir, not elementary school. I dont care for your excuses nor your dramas. It is your responsibility to make to class on time, but if you dont, let me tell you right now, it wont hurt me, it will hurt you on the exams. Catch up Mr.Khanna.

Angad cringes and a face filled with shame takes over his handsome features.

Professory Ganguli on seeing the sincerity says: In the future I will not tolerate this Mr.Khanna. Please be seated.

Angad: Right. sorry once again.

Angad sits down and takes out a notebook and begins copying down the chemical equation on the board. Professory Ganguli resumes her lecture.

40 minutes lates, class ends, everyone leaves, except for Professor Ganguli, Angad, and Kripa.

Angad walks up to Professory Ganguli who is erasing the blackboard.

Angad: Excuse me Professor Ganguli, actually, I missed the first part of the lecture and notes and I-

Professory Ganguli: Mr. Khanna, that is your responsibility not mine.
Angad: Please ma'am, this wont happen again.

Professor Ganguli looks at Angad and says: take a look around you Mr.Khanna, this is college. I wont babysit you at every step of the class. I am sure your peers must have notes, please get it from them. Good bye.

With that, Professory Ganguli turns to leave. Angad begins to worry.

Angad (thinking to himself): great job Angad, pehle din mein porfessor ko gussa kiya, ab kya kare?

Kripa is still in the classroom trying to figure out her next class but realizes her next class isnt until two hours later. She turns to leave.

Angad suddenly realizes that hes not alone and looks at Kripa. He decides to ask for her help.

Angad: excuse me, um, actually, uh, see I came in late...and uh...well, I was wondering...

Kripa: if you could borrow my notes?

Angad: if I could...what? yeah! how did you know? May I? I would be most grateful!

Kripa laughs and says: I saw what happened, these things happen. I understand how you must feel, chemistry can get very difficult if you dont catch up soon.

Kripa then gives Angad her notes and asks hims to return it as soon as possible as she needs it to study too.

Angad: I dont know how to thank you, if theres anything you need-

Kripa: no no, its absolutely fine. Youre in trouble, and I can help, so I am helping you. Theres no need for thanks. Just do well in the class and on the exams and Ill think you have returned my favor.

Kripa smiles at him and starts walking out the door. But she stops midway and turns around:

Kripa: My name is Kripa and you?
Angad: ji? Right, I'm Angad.
Kripa: Pleasure to meet you Angad. Just some advice, dont be late, Professor Ganguli doesnt tolerate latenesses at all.
Angad: amen!

Kripa and Angad both laugh.

Kripa: bye then.
Angad: thanks again. till tomorrow!
