Part 1
Ok.. this is a long part 2 make up 4 yesterday
'Kripa, uttho... itni subah ho gayi hai..'.. gayitri said, trying to stay calm. This was the 3rd time she came to Kripa's room to wake her up. Though Kripa did all her jobs herself, this was the one thing her mum had to do.. wake her up everyday. Sometimes Gayitri would get really annoyed because Kripa's alarm would go off atleast 5 times before she decides to finally open her eyes. Other days she was just as lazy, if not more.
'Kripa... jaldi uttho warna do (2) minute me uttho doo gee..' Gayitri said agen really firmly.
'Uff maa.. sone do na.. raat ko bhi bhara (12) bajje neend aayi thi.. urgh..' she whined back and pulled the covers on her face.
'To phir theek hai, phir mat kaina ke maine warn nai kiya..' Gayitri said and walked to the waskroom. Just then Kripa heard the water tap, and before she knew it Kripa got up and rushed to the other washroom. 'Uff maa aap bhi na.. hamesha yehi karti hai.. maine kaha tha na 2 minute mai utth jaaoo gi... hamesha apni purani wali trick use karti hai.. paani dalne ki..' Kripa muttered to herself, but made sure Gayitri heard her too.
Kripa got out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and drying her hair with another. It was her first day of college and she had been up all night preparing her things, laying them out neatly,just incase she ends up being late the next day. Kripa was always a top student in her class and never gave the teacher a chance to complain. Now that she had moved, that to half way through the year, she had to prepare in advance as it was already really hard for to get into the college. Luckile, her dad's best friend, Shashank, was the dean in the college and had made Gayitri his 'sister' after Surya's death. So, Shashank basically persuaded Gayitri to move to mumbai and live with him and offered a place in his university for Kripa. Gayitri moved to Mumbai and accepted his offer but insisted on living in her own flat.
Kripa dried her hair with a towel and then blow dried them. She applied some kajol on her eyes giving them a rich, dark look. Then she applied some foundation and pink lip gloss. Kripa always made sure she had some foundation and lip gloss in her bag since she started college back in Delhi. Her mother had of course persuaded her to do so as she always thought Kripa was too simple and needs to look more attractive so she stands out more and doesn't end up being ignored amongst her friends.
Kripa wore a simple green salwar suit with matching earings and went to have some breakfast. She was drinking some water when she heard the door. She rushed, 'Maa.. main dekhti huu.. Harshi ho gi..', she yelled..
'Hi,... kaisi h.. kab ka wait kar rahi hoo aur tum ho kai itni der lagadi..'.. Kripa hugged her friend and led her inside.
'Sorry yaar.. actually yaar traffic main phas gayi thi..' Harshini made excuses and went to the kitchen to greet Gayitri.
'Namaste Aunty… kaisi hai aap..' she said joing her hands and getting arshirward.
'Namaste beta.. hmm main to theek hoo.. tum sunao aur kya ho raha hai..' GAayitri sed stiring the spoon whilst making her tea.
'Main to theek hoo.. acha aunty ab main chalti hoo.. chal Kripa tera kamre main chalet hai ..' she pointed out to Kripa. Harshini hated hanging around with elders and would do anything to be away from them. Kripa knew this and would tease Harshini or would call her or tell her mum about wht she's been up to, so Gayitri would always be around Harshini. Gayitri liked her a lot because no matter how she dressed, or reacted, she was very religious, or atleast it's what Gayitri thought. So, she preferred Kripa to be under Harshini's influence.
'Accha beta jaao… or harshu.. Kripa ka khiyaal rakhna.. yaha nai aayi hai.. tumhare saath rahe ggi to jald hi seekh jaaye gi yaha ke tor tareke'.
Harshini walked towards the room and Kripa followed.
'Acha Kripa jaldi tayaar ho jaa.. warna late ho jaaye ge..' Hrshini said absent mindly as she went through Kripa's book collection.
'Arre main to tayaar hu, chal nikalte hai abhi.. waise bhi bas ke aane ka koyi pata nai.. and you know I don't want to get late', Kripa said and picked her bag up to leave.
'Er.. Kripss.. tu in kapro main jaaye gii..' Harshini said as she looked Kripa up and down.
'hmm.. haa….... kyun?? pasand nai aaye??.. 'Kripa replied feeling awkward at her gaze. She had bought this suit especially for her first college day, after all the first impression was the last, she thought to herself.
'Kripaa.. yeh Mumbai hai.. koi gaao (village) nahi' Harshini exaggerated mockingly. Harshini herself was wearing a short skirt, only a few inches above her knees and a blue top. 'Aur waise bhi, tum in kapro main jawan nahi balke t looks like your pregnant!!' Harhini burst out laughing. Kripa gave her a disgusting look: 'Haa Haa.. itni moti jo hoo' she pouted
'Arre nai yaar.. mera matlab wo nahi tha.. I meant that thr soo loose… acha ab chal hat.. let me choose something for you, after all mujhe hi to tumhara khiyal rakhna hai..' she said mockingly and searched through her wardrobe, making disgusting face as she skipped through the churidaar and salwar suits.
'hmm… yeh theek rahe ga..' Harshini took out a red salwar suit, the kameez was just above the knees . 'chal jaldi se pehen le phir chalet hai..!!!'
'Nahi yaar… this is too tight… actually I brought it last year.. and since then have put on some weight.. I can hardly breath in it..' she complained and ignored Harshini.
'O come on yaar… ur not meant to be able to breath in the clothes you wear nowadays. Fatta fatt pehen.. phir chalet hai.. and anyway its better than that crap your wearing.. it's as if your still living in the 19th century.' she muttered the last bit to herself and pushed Kripa into the bathroom.
Kripa came out wearing the tight skin kameez, showing off her curves. Harshini looked her up and down and muttered: 'Perfect… ab chal!'. Kripa looked at herself in the mirror one more time and wore some matching red earings. She picked up her dupatta and rested it along her neck and left her room with Harshini following her.
'Arre beta nashta to kar lo,' Gayitri shouted after them.
'Nai maa.. hum raste se kuch le lege… acha ok byy..' she said hurridly and kissed her mom's cheeks and rushed out of the house.
'Kripa bought a sandwich on her way to the college, straight after getting off from the bus. She could hear her tummy rumbling loudly in the bus.
'Aur Kripa.. kaisa lagga Mumbai..? kahi ghoome woome ya nai..' Harshini asked getting off the bus.
'Kahan yaar.. abhi to teen (3) din pehle aaye hai.. time kaha mila kahi jaane ka.. mamma job main busy hoti hai aur main apne college ke kaam main.. par ab tu agayi hai na.. to dono mil kar jaye ge…' she said sounding slightly annoyed.
'Hmm.. waise… the college trip to patyala for a week in coming up.. tub hi chal na.. bohat mazza aaye ga yaar.. hoob moj kare gai.. meri aur bhi doste aa rahi hai to issi bahane teri bhi sab ke saath jaan pehchaan bhar jayegi.' She said excitedly.
'lo baate shaate karte rahe aur college bhi pohanch gayi.. yeh raha humara SMC (sanjeevni medical college).. kaisa laga..' Harshini said as they made their way through the gates. Kripa looked around the grand college..' hmm.. bohat sundar hai… aur bohat bhara (big) be.. pata nai how I'll be able to remember my classes..' she said looking around in wonder. The college was deffinetly much bigger then her previous and the building itself looked very modern.
'haa wo to hai.. chal main tujhe yaha ke students ke bare main kuch batati hoo..' Harshini said and stopped Kripa at the gate. They both stood at the enterence with Harshini pointing out to different groups of people and telling Kripa more about them.
'hmm… wo dekh iss college ke geeks… pata nai kya kha ke peda huwe hai.. jab dekho sar oopar nai blake neeche books par hota hai.. chashmish kahi ke.. tu to un se door hi rehna.. warna college main teri rep ke saath meri image bhi kharab ho jayegi..' she mocked, Kripa burst out laughing at Harshini's expressions and the geeks of the college. They were all neatly dressed buried in their books and having some sort of discussion, more like a debat eon something. Kripa shifted her gaze and turned around: 'hmm.. baat to sai hai… par bechare par rahe hai iss main kya bari baat hai..' she defended them as she herself was also buried in her books at home.
'wo dekh… iss college ke chamche.. I mean teacher's pets… there not nerds but you wouldn't exactly call them normal. Jab dekho dum hilate we bhagte hai for extra praise.. tu to unse bhi door hi rehna.. nahi to wo peeche hi par jaaye ge.. just don't even talk to them warna saare mazaak uraige!' she mocked again. Kripa just looked around: 'is there anyone that I should talk to?' she said again sounding annoyed.
'wo hai iss college ke popular students … aur wo dekh.. wo jo green shirt main hai.. thtz Aliyah, one of my bestest friends.. bohat sweet hai yaar.. aur haa.. those are the people you should hang around with.. waise wo dekh rahi hai.. uss side pe.. that's the normal bunch, waise to wo bhi bohat ache hai.. well you can call them normal.. or middle- classed but I prefer the popular bunch.. agar zindagi main kuch haasil karna hai to in ke saath hi jeena parta hai..' she said.
Kripa looked around the popular groups, somehow she felt awkward just standing there watching the way they were acting. They were clearly just showing off.. 'sab dikhaawa hai..' she muttered under her breath.
'Tum ne kuch kaha kya..' Harshini asked. 'Er.. nahi.. chal.. ab yahi khare rehna hai kya' Kripa changed the topic and began walking ahead. Just then before the main building enterence, she spotted another group, with hardly 2-3 girls, the rest were male. 'waise Harshu.. wo kaun hai..' she said pointed at them
'OMG.. pata nai kaise batana bhool gai.. wo hai iss college ke Jocks.. no actually more like flirts.. class kabhi attend hi nahi karte.. subah sham yahi bethe rehte hai.. arre bhai paisa hai to mehnat karne ki kya zaroorat hai.. aissi soch hai inki.. bhighre baap ke bhiggri aulaad,' she said. 'Aur wo dekh rahi hai… wo uss black leather jacket mai…' she pointed to a tall man. Kripa turned around and so them all gathered around a open-head jeep, there were around 6-7 of them. She couldn't exactly make out who Harshini was pointing to as he had his back on her: 'Kaun?'
'Arre.. wo yaar.. black main… the one kissing that girl.. how can you not see him'. Kripa turned around again and saw who Harshini was pointing to, but he still had her back towards her.
'Wo hai iss college ka biggest Casanova… haha… dekh kaise uss larki ko kiss kar raha hai.. na koi sharam na koi akal.. actually no.. waise hai bohat smart.. lectures bhi saare attend karta hai. But you know, the more money one has, the more proud they are. Roz nahi nahi gaari (car) main aata hai..s how off kahi ka.. aur roz roz ek nahi larkike saath.. as if they were a toy…. Zara bhi sharam nai ke saare dekh rehe hai.. especially his friends.. they would do anything to please MR. Angad Khanna..' she exaggerated on his name.
'par agar aissa hai.. to why do the girls date him.' Kripa asked innocently.
'Kripaaaa.. tum ne kuch sunna maine kya kaha???... he's very rich... he's in his 4th year… and they all know what type of guy he is.. but its his wealth there all after. Aur anywayzz most the girls he dates are very rich... and modern.. so when dumped, they move on as if it was just a time-past… and his friends.. don't even get me started… they are like his chamche… pet poodle.. and would do anything for their BOSS' she laughed and exaggerated on the word Boss. . Kripa looked at him disgustingly and found him deeply engrossed in a kiss. He had his arms around the girls waist, gradually sliding and making its way down. Somehow, she felt as if he was kissing her, she felt a cold chill run down her throat just at the thought of it. She kicked herself mentally for even thinking of something like that, that too after Harshini had told her about him.
'But apparently.. He's a good kisser.*sigh*.' Harshini added softly. Kripa turned around to face: 'What??? tujhe kaisse pata??? k-k-kya hua.. aisse kyun dekh rahi ho?' She felt awkward at being caught staring at him.
Harshini had found her staring at him. She lifted her eyebrows and warned her: 'dekh Kripss.. u stay away from him.. wo use kare ga.. aur phenk de ga..uss ke chakar main mat parna.. aur waise bhi yeh to uss ke liya roz ka khel hai.. its normal for him.'
'I know yaar.. main pagal to nahi hoo.. apna achha bura samajhti hoo,' she added the lost sentence softly so Harshini didn't hear her.
'waise your very lucky that your in second year.. otherwise 1st year ke students ki to yeh chutti kar dete hai… ragging kar ke… hai to 4th year main.. par they do they ragging… after all there the richest and there demands and rules work,' she said angrily. 'So your very lucky.. in ke chakar main nai padii,' she teased.
