CHAPTER 6
CHANT MY NAME
"May I come in, Mam?" Vidushi said with excitement and broad grin.
"Ofcourse Vidushi. Hmm.. So much happy and excited to see me." Maya smirked. Sensing that she had been smiling more than usual, Vidushi straightened her face.
"N.. No mam. Nothing like that." Vidushi tried to cover up.
"So, you are NOT happy to see me. Is that what you mean Vidushi?" Maya raised her left eyebrow and took a dig.
"No mam.. Definitely not. I mean.. I mean.. Mam... I am on time." Vidushi said being caught off guard.
"Hmm. Good Night Vidushi."
"Good night, Mam". She smiled.
"And they are official." Maya smirked to herself as Vidushi left the cabin.
-----------------
As Vidushi walked towards her hostel, she saw some of the juniors sitting in the canteen. Spidy called us, the words from the morning came to her mind. Walking up to them she commanded, "Ye Spidy kon hai?"
The students getting caught off guard, remained quiet throwing nervous glances at each other.
"I asked ye spidy kon hai?" she asked crossing her arms.
"Umm.. Spiderman" came a mumbled reply.
"What? Spiderman? How did Spiderman call.. Wait a minute, TUM LOG PARTH KO SPIDY BULAATE HO?" she demanded.
"Hum nahi wo hi keh rahe. Main kya spiderman hoon jo pipe chadta firoonga", the group laughed lightly.
Vidushi cleared her throat to suppress the blush that had again crept up. And then seeing the group laughing and giving a hi-five to each other, she roared, "SHUT UP. AB AGAR TUMNE FIR SE PARTH KO CHIDHAAYA TO.." she stopped thinking of the appropriate threat.
"To?" a guy nervously asked.
"To .. To main tumhaare room mein 2000 pataakho ki ladi fod doongi. GREEN GOBLIN ki tarah", she threatened with a smile.
-----------------
"Green Goblin..." Maya suppressed her laughter standing behind the canteen door and scribbling on her notepad.
"Maya"
"Huh".. She gasped holding the notepad close to her chest as Vardhan's voice freaked her out.
"What the hell Vardhan. What are you doing here?" she hissed.
"Technically, I should ask you this question. What are YOU doing here hiding behind the door.?"
Suddenly realizing what she was looking at, Maya sharply peeped into the canteen again.
"Look what you have done Vardhan. She is gone." Maya hissed.
"Ok.. we need to talk", Vardhan sighed.
"Exactly. WE need to talk. In My Cabin Vardhan." Maya ordered as she stomped off in anger.
-----------------
"Maya", Vardhan spoke as he saw her glaring at him.
"Stop chanting my name.. You.. You SNEAKY professor", she accused.
"What?... Sneaky.. I am Sneaky.. You are a sneaky DEAN", he shot back.
"Don't you dare, Suryavanshi"
"Oh I will. And we have a proof here." He said snatching the notepad kept on her table.
"That is mine. Give it back.", Maya roared.
"Exactly it's yours. And look what we got scribbled here...
Blush Meter.
Vidushi - 4 Parth - 2
Like really Maya. And I AM SNEAKY", he said bewildered.
"Yes. You are SNEAKY and JEALOUS", she said pointing her finger at him.
"JEALOUS..!!!", he said incredulously.
"Yes. Jealous because my girl is ahead of your boy by 2 blushes." She raised her chin with a proud smile.
Vardhan kept looking at her dumbfounded.
"Oh and yes, there is a difference between Keeping an Eye and SNEAKING. I keep an eye on them and YOU SNEAK", she said arrogantly.
"What?" he said exasperated.
"Yes, keeping an eye on someone is definitely different than smirking when you see a CCTV footage of your students kissing." She gave a saccharine smile.
"I.Was.Not.Smirking", he said aghast.
"Ha.. Point proven. You saw Sanyukta and Randhir kissing on your laptop. THAT IS SNEAKY"
"How would I know that they would out of the blue kiss during an argument?" he defended.
"Exactly. You need to know this Vardhan. Kids... Kids these days are HORMONAL", she shrugged.
Vardhan's jaw dropped at the word.
"Stop being melodramatic. That's why you need to Keep an EYE on them and not SNEAK on them with your CCTVs." She said coolly.
"So from now on, I'll check your laptop first and then you can ogle at her as much as you want. I won't let you sneak on MY kids." She said.
"Laptop is not HER.. IT is a laptop." He said gritting his teeth.
"Ha.. Point proven again. You OGLE at your laptop. I wonder Why Dell doesn't sue you for eve teasing and mental harassment?" She chuckled as Vardhan looked at his laptop totally gob smacked.
-----------------
"Randhir bhai... Time kya hua hai? Meri ghadi kharaab ho gayee" Jiggy asked.
"12 baj gaye hain. Poore 12" Randhir said without looking at his watch.
"Kaise pata aapko. Ghadi bhi nahi dekhi aapne to" Jiggy asked.
"Wo dekh.. Parth ki shakal.. Baje hain na poore 12" Randhir chuckled. Jiggy laughed out loud.
"Vidushiii.. Meri poori planning flop kar di. Us par har koi meri udaa ke chalaa jaata hai. Watchman bhi... Arrghhh" he sulked. His phone beeped and the text read,
"Morning 7:30 in the lab. Will wait for you. Vidushi" and he grinned broadly.
Looking at Parth grinning, Jiggy teased, "Randhir bhai, 12 baj ke 1 min ho gaya". Parth shook his head as his roommates were again back to laughing.
-----------------
"Good job Vidushi", Vidushi patted herself looking around the set up in the lab.
Settling herself on the last table in the lab, she waited for Parth.
"Hey", Parth's voice came as he walked into the lab. Vidushi waved at him with a broad grin.
"Umm.. Why are you sitting on the table Vidushi?" he said sheepishly as he stopped as soon as he entered the lab.
"Whyyy I cannot sit on the table Parth?" she said utterly confused.
Coz you remind me of that night in the store room. Sweet, cute, adorable and tempting all in one go. Shut up Parth. Parth scolded himself.
"Anyway, mujhe itni jaldi kyun bulaaaya tumne?" he inquired. Something was just not right, his mind said.
"Wo.. ummm... Your foot. Ab THIK HAI?" she said with a teasing smile.
"HAAN HAI", he said narrowing his eyes.
"Maya mam keh rahi thi ke tum blush karte ho? Kya ye SACH HAI?" She further teased.
"HAAN HAI", he said pointedly looking away.
"Mmm as quoted by juniors.. Spidy tumhaara naam hai?" she giggled
"HAAN HAI.. bloody assholes", he added.
"Maine suna, kal watchman kaka ne bhi tumhaari firki le li. Kya ye SACH HAI?" she asked suppressing her laughter.
"HAAN HAI", Parth said gritting his teeth.
"To.. umm. Tumko mujhse PYAAR HAI?" Vidushi roared with laughter.
"Vidushi.. You... ARRRGHHH.. WHAT THE HELL?" his voice roared in the lab as Parth now hung upside down in the middle of the lab.
-----------------
"Thank you KAKA. Ab aap jaaiye. Kisi ko batana nahi haan plz. Meri taraf se baad mein aapko TREAT" Vidushi laughed and waved at the watchman laughing through the window. The watchman moved away and Vidushi closed the door and the window.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. TUM WATCHMAN KAKA KE SAATH TEAM BANAA RAHI HO. PUT ME DOWNNN"
"And I can't believe you again fell for my trick. Kam se kam rope ka loop to dekhna chaahiye tha. Duhhh.." Vidushi laughed standing in front of him.
"Vid..", his eyes snapped open as Vidushi kissed him full on the lips. Softly brushing his lower lip, she parted away.
"Vidushi.." he breathed surprised.
Holding his face, she whispered against his lips, "What's the Spiderman without the Spiderman kiss".
"We'll give a combined treat to watchman kaka", he smiled pulling her back in.
Vidushi inhaled sharply into the kiss. Emotions running high, they opened their mouths to get the most of each other. Holding her head with his hands, Parth kissed her with all the passion and intensity she invoked in him. Yeah, he should have noted the rope loop. But that's what she did to him. She made him forget everything. Tracing her lower lip with his tongue, he pulled her lips more into the kiss. He smiled as Vidushi angled her head and kissed him with equal urgency.
She sucked his lower lip as with every passing second, her want for him increased. Tightening her grip on his hair, she bit his upper lip hard one last time as she needed some air. Tearing apart she rested he forehead on his chin, breathing heavily. "That was just so little." Parth complained panting. Vidushi chuckled and sucked his chin. As Parth cupped her face again to kiss her, she turned away catching her breathe.
"I know... umm.. things go slightly out of control every time we kiss", Parth finally spoke with a loaded voice. With her back still towards him, Vidushi laughed and said, "Umm... I have a solution to this".
"Ahaan.. What?" Parth asked grinning broadly.
-----------------
"ARRRGHHH VIDUSHIII.. WHAT THE HELL", Parth screamed as Vidushi slapped his left butt really hard.
"That's for the first spanking you gave me", Vidushi howled with laughter.
"ARRGHHH..." Parth screeched again and Vidushi slapped his right butt harder.
"This is for the second spanking you gave me". Vidushi giggled.
"OUCHHH..." Parth howled again as Vidushi went with another one.
"Remember you had spanked me twice that night."
"ARRRGHHH.. NOW WHAT IS THIS ONE FOR?"
"Teen tigaada kaam bigaada. Shagun ka hai ye waala" Vidushi laughed hysterically with one last slap on his butt.
"What the HELL"
"That's my line."
"VIDUSHI .. PUT ME DOWN NOWWW"
"Yeah right. On second thoughts, Chant my name. 108 baar Om Vidushay Namah ka jaap karne se you'll be free yourself. Plus it'll keep your mind cool." She laughed again.
"Shut up. I do TAI-CHI for that", Parth hissed.
"A..Aaa.. Jhooth mat bolo.. That's Chinese Dandiya", she teased.
"HOW DARE YOU"
"See.. I told you... Take a deep breath. Aur bolo.. Om Vidushay Namah."
"Yeah right.. Vidushi Kumar. You get ready to Chant My Name." With that Parth pulled himself up and started opening the knot.
"What the Hell. K.. Kya matlab hai tumhaara?" Vidushi stammered.
"Ohoo... My jalebi jaisi seedhi girlfriend. Saare matlab pata hai tumhe. You WILL chant my name TONIGHT." He declared gritting his teeth.
"You Shameless"
"Sangat ka asar hai"
"PERVERT" she said horrified and ran out of the lab towards her hostel.
-----------------
It's 10 PM now. He was just joking. Waisi bhi no calls nothing. He was just scaring you. So chill. Vidushi cajoled himself and went towards the washroom. Aive hi daraa diya mujhe. Vidushi thought as she kept her clothes on the hooks behind the door.
"What the HELL. Ab ye light ko kya ho gaya", Vidushi whined as the lights suddenly went off. Coming out of the washroom, she looked around. The entire hostel had gone black.
"Ouchh", she hissed as someone hit her shoulder walking past her. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it as suddenly the lights went on again. Still searching for the person who hit her, she closed the door of washroom.
-----------------
"I didn't know you were so eager", she stood rooted on the spot as Parth's husky voice came from her behind. Her heart leapt into her throat, as it dawned on her. He is here. In the girls hostel. DAMN, in the washroom with ME.
Sneaking his hand around her waist, he pulled her back to him. She closed her eyes and a shaky breathe escaped her lips as her back hit his chest. Moving aside her hair, Parth dipped his head and kissed her right shoulder. Holding her waist tighter, he kissed the pulse of her neck deeply. "Parth" she whispered as he lightly nipped her earlobe. "Told you in the morning", he whispered. Vidushi turned sharply and kissed him passionately as her senses went overdrive. Parth stumbled back with the force that Vidushi kissed him. And that was the reason why every time things went out of control. She would confess, he would lose a bit of control. She would respond and things took control of him. She would give him all and would make him want more than all.
Grabbing her face, he entered her mouth and then another realm of emotions turned. She tasted of.. everything which you cannot describe, his mind told him defeated. Smiling at the thought, he searched for the shower knob. The little distraction from him made her grab his shirt and she bit his lower lip hard before pushing her tongue into his mouth. The past few days had been a dream for her. And their kiss was like an assurance that yes, he is finally with her. And the urgency which she felt was not the lust, it was the need. The constant need to hold him close and not let him go anywhere.
They broke apart, as Parth opened the knob and cold water hit their faces. Vidushi looked down panting heavily and Parth looked at her searching her face.
Probably I should leave. This was not a good idea.
What is wrong with you Vidushi? You always end up attacking him. With that thought, Vidushi looked up at him. And this was not helping. Him soaked in water, shower and his intense eyes. They did nothing but accelerated her already hyperactive heartbeat.
Grabbing the hem of his wet shirt, Vidushi pulled him back towards her. Dripping wet in water and the emotions for each other, Vidushi stepped over his feet and kissed him intensely. Screw the idea, Parth thought as he just couldn't get enough of her. Turning her around, he pushed her against the wall with water hitting his back. Tearing away from the kiss, he sucked the pulse of her neck. "Parth", she gasped again as Parth traced his lips on her wet neck finally taking her lips again.
Pulling his lower lip hard, Vidushi squeezed his hair in her fingers. Parth groaned as the water ran down from his locks to his back. With her, his every nerve got oversensitive.
"Come on a date with me", Parth managed to speak as she broke the kiss.
"We already had a date yesterday", she panted tracing his upper lip with her finger.
"That was an adjusted date. Come with me on a proper date." Parth looked at her stroking her cheeks.
Grabbing his hair, she pulled his head back. "Vids"... Parth moaned as Vidushi bit his Adam's apple hard and then kissed it deeply. Letting go of him, she looked down and gave an embarrassing smile. Resting his palms on the wall, Parth leaned towards her. "I take that as a Yes", he smiled kissing her lips softly.
-----------------
"Wait a min. Tum andar aaye kaise?" Vidushi suddenly asked him as he went near the door and took out his phone.
Turning around he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Oh.. I formed a Tag Team with Watchman Kaka". Vidushi's jaw dropped and lights went off as Parth winked.
