.
Vijay and Ridhi were outside the venue of the ball, i.e. the hall. Ridhi was walking fast and in front of Vijay as she was still angry with him.
Vijay: "Ridhi ruko na yaar. Hum saath jaa raha hai na, toh tum itna teez kyu chal rahi hoo?" (Ridhi, please stop. We are going together so why are you walking so fast)
Ridhi turned around to and gave a deadly look to Vijay and said with a full attitude...
Ridhi: "Vijay, just because mein tumharay saath jaa rahi hoo, iska matlab yeah nahi hai ki mein tum se aaj subha kay liya naaraj nahi hoo" (Vijay, just because I am going with you does not mean that I am no longer angry at you for this morning.)
Vijay: "Aare yaar Rifhi, chord na. Woh saab to mazzak tha." (Forget it, Ridhi. It was just a joke)
Ridhi with anger: "Woh joke tum haray liya hoga magar meri liya woh wk insult tha. Tum hai lagta hai ki aapne dosto kay saam ne mera maazak udakar tum aap ne aap ko bade dude samaj tay ho, hai na? Magar mera kya, meray reputation, mer issat ko aisa uuchalkar..." (It must have been a joke for you, but it was an insult for me. You think that you are a dude, when you talk about me behind your back, right? But what about me, you don't even care about my reputation, my respect...)
With that Ridhi stormed away wiping her tears.
On the other hand Abhijeet and Prerna were in a whole different world. There unsaid emotions were showing clearly in their faces. The walls that Abhijeet had built around himself, was beginning to drop in front of Prerna. Prerna was also in a dilemma of what she feels for him.
Abhijeet: "Tum sach mein bohot khubsurat lag rahay ho" (You are looking really beautiful)
Prerna: "Tum ne yeah pichle 5 minute mein 10 baar kaha hai" (You have said that 10 times in the past 5 minute)
Abhijeet: "Toh kya hua, jo sach hai wohi to kaha hai. (So what, I am only saying what is true)
Prerna blushed deep crimson and Abhijeet got lost within the warm color of her cheeks.
Asha and Shaad were also on their way to the ball...
Asha: "Shaad I am sorry"
Shaad: "Aare aap hum se mafi kyu maang rahi hai." (Why are you apologizing to me?)
Asha: "Main ne aaisay sab kay saam ne keah diya ki hum saath freshner's ball attend kar kahay hai. Ek baar bhi mein ne yeah nahi socha ki syaad tum kisi aur kay saath ..." (I said we are going to the fresher's ball together. I didn't even think one that may you would want to go with someone else)
Shaad: "Aisay koi baat nahi thi. Hum mein khud nahi pata tha ki hum kis kay saath jaai, is liya socha tha ki hum jaaigay hi nahi. Aur aap ne jo kiya, woh aapni saachi chpanay kay liya kia" (It is nothing like that. I didn't know who to go with myself, so I had decided not to go at all. And you did all this to hide your truth.)
Asha gave Shaad a smile and a look of adoration before both entered the hall. They both walked up to the hot-meter. Asha scored a 10/10 while Shaad scored a 9/10. Giving each other similes they headed up to a table.
Asha: "Lagta hai Prerna, Abhi, Vijay, aur Ridhi abhi tak nahi poochay"
Shaad was about to answer when there was a sound of balloon pooping, as another couple entered. To everyone's surprise it was Huda and Shalini. They went to the meter and Huda and Shalini both scored 8/10. They walked up to where Asha and Shaad were sitting. After exchanged some greeting and compliments another couple entered. This time it was Vijay and Ridhi. The meter gave Vijay a 10/10 while Ridhi received 8.5/10. Immediately following them was Prerna and Abhijeet. They both received 9/10. Now all of the 6 cadets were sitting and waiting for Abhimanyu to make an entry so the party could start. It was fortunate that because of the shoulder injury Niar recived he was not attending. In the meantime there was an interesting discussion going on at the table.
Prerna with a teasing tone: "Maa, waisay dad ko pata hai ki app inki date ban kar aaehai...kyu ki agar un hai pata chal gaya ho" (Maa, does dad know that you have come as his date...because if he finds out)
Huda: Prerna tuj hai kya lagta hai, main tera dad, us yudia, se darta hoo" (Prerna, you think that I am afraid of your dad, yudia)
Vijay: "Lagta kissi ko nahi hai, kyu ki sab ko pata hai ki aap ki yudi chachu se kitni phat thi hai" (No one think because everyone knows how much Yudi Chachu scares you)
This caused there to be some back forth discussion between the two, while Asha sat their think how times had changed. He humble, and innocent yudi manu was now tough who could scare the big and tough Huda. Time really has changed' she thought. Shalini noticed that she was lost in her own would so she snapped her fingers.
Shalini: "Kya hua Cadet Singh, Everything ok?" (What happened Cadet Singh, Everything ok?)
Asha: "Nothing ma'am. Bas soch rahi thi ki di kaha reah gayi" (Nothing ma'am. Was just thinking where di was)
Ridhi: "Who rahi tumhari Priyanka di..." (There goes your Priyanka di")
She pointed at the top of the stair from which Priyanka and Raghuvendra were descending He headed straight to the hot meter. Raghu was score 8.25/10 while Priyanka received 9.5/10. After a couple of minute Abhimanyu entered and everyone was shocked to see who was with him. It was none other than his wife Akriti adorned in a simple white sari with a single necklace and her mangalsutra. They ignored the meter and headed toward the center of the dancefloor. Everyone stood up and Huda led Shalini to the dance floor as Raghu and Priyanka also headed there. The Cadets stood in the background and watched their teachers perform formal dance ad they were getting bored, even Suriji and Lolita. Very soon some cadets changed the song to filmy song and the 6 got out of the dance floor as the cadets filled in.
Asha and Shaad walked up to Abhimanyu and Akriti
Asha: "Hello sir hello ma'am"
Abhimanyu: "Hello cadet Singh, I must say you are looking gorgeous."
Asha: "Thank you sir"
Abhimanyu: "You are must welcome, but what are you kiddos doing out here. Shaad how can you let a chance to dance with such a gorgeous lady slip."
Akriti: "I agree...Shaad jab khubsurat ladki saath mein ho toh uss se intazaar nahi kar vana chaiya" (I agree...Shaad, when you are with such a beautiful girl then you should not keep her waiting)
Shaad: "Nahi, aisa koi baat nahi hai" (No, it is not like that)
Akriti: "Toh phir jaa kar dank a scene shoot karo...matlab jao aur dance karo" (Than go and shoot the dance scence...meaning go and dance)
Nodding them both headed towards the dance floor. They song Saturday Saturday was playing. They had just started dancing when half-drunk Suriji got hold of the mike.
Suriji: "Suno, suno, suno. Aab wakt aa gayi hai, Mr aur Ms fresher announce karna ka. Toh Mr. Fresher hai...Cadet Vijay Huda" (Listen, Listen. Listen. The time has come to announce the Mr and Ms Fresher. So Mr. Fresher is...Cadet Vijay Huda")
Roars of claps and screams could be heard as Viajy walked up.
Suriji: "Sani oai khootay. Ms. Fresher hai..." (Quiet. Ms. Fresher is...")
The entire room started screaming Abhilasha.
Suriji: "Bilkul sahi. Cadet Abhilasha Singh" (Absolutely right. Cadet Abhilasha Singh)
Smiling Asha walked up and hugged Vijay.
Suriji: "Ab nacho" (Now dance)
Saying that suriji almost fell due to the alcohol intake, hence like always Lolita had to come and take care of him. Soft slow music started playing and Vijay and Asha started dancing. After a while a couple of people joined the. Taking the opportunity Asha started to question Vijay.
Asha: "Teray aur Ridhi kay beech sab theek hai?" (Everything ok between you and Ridhi)
Asha from the corner of her eyes looked at Ridhi, who was standing at a corner looking lost.
Vijay: "Ha woh mujhse thoda naaraj hai, koi nahi baat nahi hai." (Yes, she is a little angry at me, nothing new)
Asha: "Nahi Vijay who tujse naraz nahi balki dukh hai tujse" (No Vijay, she is not angry at you, but is sad because of you)
Vijay: "Matlab" (Meaning)
Asha: "Matlab, yeah ki tu Ridhi se pyar toh karta hai magar samaj nahi pata" (Meaning, that you love Ridhi, but you are not able to understand her)
Vijay gave her a strange look and Asha took a deep brath realizing that this was going to be harder than expected
Asha: "Vijay, duniya mein bohot kam logo sach pyar kar patay hai, aur un mein se bas kuch hi ko aapna pyar milta hai. Tu bohot lucky hai kay tera paas Ridhi jaise pyar karnay wali hai. Tu aur mein dono jantay hai ki Ridhi kitni emotional hai. Woh khabi kuch kheti nahi, srif dekhti hai, bilkul aapne papa kay jaisay" (Vijay, very few people are able to truly love someone, and even fewer people get their true love. You are very lucky that you have Ridhi, who loves you so much. You and I both know how emotional Ridhi is. She never says anything, she only observes, just like her father)
Vijay: "Ek second, tu Alekh chacha kay bara mein kaisay janti hai" (One second, how do you know about Alekh uncle)
Realizing that she had accidently talked about Alekh, Asha bites her tongue.
Asha: "Ye"yeah Ale---Alekh kyon hai?" (who is Alekh)
Vijay: "Ridhi kay dad, juskay bara mein abhi tu baat ki" (Ridhi's father, whome you just talked about)
Asha: "Muh se nikal gaya hoga. Tu subject change mat kar. Dekh Vijay, tu jitna sakay Ridhi ko khush rakh, kyu ki woh aisa tu jha aur koi nahi milnay wali...aur waisay bhi mera papa kaha kartay thay ek aacha soldier ban ney kay liya ek aacha insaan hona bohot zaruri hota hai"
Vijay: "You are right. So what should I do?"
Asha: "Aara yaar, mein hi sab karu kya. Hum ball mein hai, toh gaan ga, dance kar, jo bhi kaar meri dost ko mana lay aur mujhe uski cheray mein muskaan dekhna hai, aur agar aisa nahi hua na to teray mein..." (Do I have to do everything? We are at a ball, so sing a song, dance, do whatever but impress my friend and I better see a smile on your face otherwise..."
With that Asha left the dance floor. She was about to sit when she heard a voice. She turned around and saw Vijay singing and walking toward Ridhi.
Vijay- Baliye Te Mukhde Pe Dil Lalchave
Laungda Pe Laskara Jaanle Na Jaave He dragged her to the dance floor and Raghu joined them Duppatta Tera..Duppatta Tera... Asha looking at Shaad---- Jaan Meri Jaan Abhijeet to Prerna--- Saari Khusi Duniya Ke Tujhpe Loota Do Yeh Yeh Everyone--- Roop Saloona Tere Sono Changda Asha is in her own world and Imagines her parents. Rajveer holding Naina's hand--- Yaar Mera Yaar Sare Jag Se Juda Jag Se Juda ..Sare Jag Juda Prerna pulls Asha bringing her out of her dream. Asha wipes her tears and joins everyone in the dance floor. Roop Saloona Tere Sono Changda Movie*****Partner Everyone claps as Ridhi and Vijay. Vijay in Ridhi's ears: "I am really sorry" Ridhi comes out of Vijay's embrace and gives him a warm smile. On the other hand, unknown to everyone Priyanka and Asha slipped outside. Priyanka: "Tu ne who file paday" (Have you read the files yet?) Asha: "Nahi di. Time hi nahi hai" (No di, there is no time to) Priyanka: "Jo bhi karna hai, jaldi karna hoga is se pehle ki koi realize raray ki files gayeb hai" (Whatever you have to do have to be quick, before anyone realizes that the files are missing) Someone from behind: "Aap log file ki copy bana ligiya aur files wapas rakhdigiya" (You should make copies of the files and put the files back.) Shocked the two girls looked back, and Asha was relieved to see it was just Shaad while Priyanka was still shocked and worried that someone heard them. Asha: "Shaad you scared me, waisay idea to aacha hai" (Shaad, you scared me, but the idea is good) Priyanka: "Yeah sabb janta..." (He know...) Asha just shook her head. Priyanka just shook her head in negative and said: "Mein copies abhi bana leti hoo, waisay bhi hostel me iss wakt koi nahi hai." (I will make the copies now because there is no one in the hostel.) Asha and Shaad were talking and enjoying themselves when Ridhi and Abhimanyu came running out with a worried face. Abhimanyu: "Cadet Singh, aabhi aabhi hospital se phone aaya tha. Aaap ki maa ki condition bigard gayi hai aur doctors keah rahi hai ki who..." (Cader Singh, the hospital called just now. You mother's condition has worsen and doctors are saying that...) Asha: "WHAT????" Abhimanyu: "Cadet Calm down and stay strong. Aap ko permission hai abhi issi wakt waha jaana ka, aur Shaad tum inkay saath jao" (Cadet calm down and stay strong. You have permission to go there right now and Shaad you go with her) Asha ran from there wiping her tears as millions horrible thought crossed her mind. Shaad was right beside her. Abhimanyu watched as he felt a deep, gut feeling telling him someone big was about to happen...good or bad. He didn't know why but it felt like someone close to him was suffering and he couldn't understand why he felt such for a cadet's parent. Ridhi put her hand on his shoulder and gave him a small smile. Abhimanyu gathered himself and both headed back inside. Naina's diary----- Fresher's ball. You know Asha, this is KMA's most happening event, but for me it was so much special. That was the first time I realized that Huda might not be that bad...THAT BAD. That day seeing RV made me feel a certain way. He was looking drop dead gorgeous in the suit. I had a stomach twisting deep feeling whenever I saw him. It was as if everything inside of me was crumbling together and dropping down. My mind stopped working when I saw him. I was so confused with my feeling that I asked BC to dance with me... Can you believe it? Anyways, that dance I shared with RV still replays in the back of my mind. That was the most special part of the night, but that RITU had to come and join us and destroy everything. And then there was Madona. And you know what I am proud of Yudi for creating Madona. That was probable the highlight of the ball. I still cannot believe that Alekh knowing it was him went with him. You are very well aware by now that I want you to be an army officer, but it is still up to you. I will never make you full fill my dreams without your consent and happiness, but if you decide to be an officer then enjoy your ball to the fullest. I couldn't enjoy it as much as Ii wanted to because that RUTU clinging on RV was distracting me and Madona pretty much ruined my mood. I want you to know that Fresher's ball is a time to enjoy, so I want you to promise me that IF you go to the ball, you will let nothing come between you and fun. Love you lots Your mom with best wishes Naina A long update with Naina's diary after a long time. Hope you liked it. Lots of Love Misha |
