PART 56
Time !!!!
Time is the only thing which flows like there's no halt.. no end but immense flow.
It was looking like just before few days we met in school. And today we were in college. We fought , We Patched up, We Laughed , We Cried every Single thing we did together.
They said there was no constant in this universe. But I knew how wrong that universal truth was when it came to our Friendship. It still remained same after 15 long years. From school to college , it was the same like before.
And it was might be possible because of the unconditional and inseparable bond we had among each other.
And I just prayed to Aaiyyaappaa it would remain the same in the coming future too.
Ohhh this Time !!!!!!
TIME !!!! Ohhh freak !!! It's 8:30 am !!!! I have to rush.
****
I was right again ' kuch chije kavi nehi badalti. ' .
I sighed and went closer to the bed and sat down somehow adjusting myself in that little left over edge of the bed.
" good morning. " I whispered first. But getting no response I again uttered but increasing my volume little up.
But alas! ! That time also my voice went to the deaf ear.
I sighed and then I positioned to do what I actually didn't wanted to but bounded to.
I picked up the water jug from the side table and then... SPLASH !!!!!
" What the !!!! Not again man "
" yaarr what's wrong with you? "
Those Yells And screams welcomed me.
" Good morning " that time I wished them with a slight victory smirk on my face.
" yaar subha subha tujhe ho kya jata hai? " he asked in irritation tried to wiping up his wet face with my lovely pillow towel.
I frowned and aimed to scold him for spoiling my mom's such designer towels. But before I could do anything one alluring voice grabbed my senses and pulled me to sit on the bed.
" Heyy baby !! Good morning. " and he turned around and wrapped his hands around me nuzzling his face on my stomach just to make me feel ticklish with his tempting touch.
" lo ho gaya ishka majnu mode on. " that comment from the other side made me feel shy whilst smile a bit and he just kept his work like nuzzling on my belly flattering my desires , fully unaffected.
" Now it's enough. " I freed myself from his grip and stood beside the bed.
" get up now . It's already 9 yaar. We will be late for college. Get up please . I am going to make breakfast. You guys just come in minutes 10. Okay. " I retorted my daily ranter but as usual my poor words just got neglected.
I then took two deep breaths and shouted at my peak.
" Manik Cabir... its your final warning . just get up you two idiots. Unless get ready for the consequences. "
And it worked like it does always. Sometimes I felt why did I waste my energy to wake them in a soft good manner when eventually I needed to land up shouting at them.
I shook my heads swapping away my crazy frustrating thoughts about my pathetic daily morning start.
Then shouted again seeing them still yawning " within 10 minutes I want you to the breakfast table. You get that? " ordering I left the room pulling the comforter out of them.
" areee Nandu !" they shouted in unison .
" yehh tere baby k chakkar me na daily ish baba ka nind haram ho jati hai. Ohh God please save me " Cabir dramatically wiped his tears wiping the water droplets coming out of his wet hairs.
" chup be drama company. Mera soch. Daily sochta hu morning will start with my sunshine's smiles and milta hai thunderstorm rain. If it will be going like this na then I am afraid of my future yaar. " that time Manik expressed his fear even more dramatically.
" hmmm " Cabir like a very wise man shook his head then commented
" dude you're right. Sahi kah raha hai tu. Such a scary sunshine morning !! Hmm. If she will continue doing this na then ho gayi humari morning good. "
" yaah Bro. " Manik seconded him rubbing his eyes.
Then Cabir said " we should take revenge. "
" revenge? As in ? From whom? " Manik asked wiping his wet face with the pillow towel.
" yes if we want our future mornings safe and secure from cold waters then we have to take revenge. What's say Bro? " Cabir evilly looked at Manik for his assurance.
" hmmm sahi bol raha hai tu dude. Only you're my brother. " Manik joined him.
" I know. " he patted Manik's back then continued making a serious face " Now then let's the revenge from Mugambi begins. " Cabir dramatically announced and hi five ed with Manik.
The two evil friends were just sharing their notorious smile over their mission that time suddenly Manik exclaimed
" yeee ek second ek second. We can't do this to her yaar. As because if we will take revenge from her one time na then she will repay us back triple. "
" ohh shit .. ishke bare me toh main ne socha hi nehi. That means now we are only getting a single jug of water splash. But Tab toh pura pura tanker ki barish karwa degi hum pe. "
Cabir day dreamed of that horrible scene then abruptly shouted " no no no I can't take this risk. Revenge cancel. "
" feeling is mutual Bro. If I will go for this revenge na then she won't let me kiss her for the whole one month or maybe couple of months. " Manik making a scared face whispered imagining of his miserable future.
" areee kiss ki chor , she toh even doesn't let you touch her. Soch. Tu bas Soch. " Cabir just oiled his fear little more with his wicked smile and he himself also drawn into his weird consequences.
And then they both uttered in unison " No... Revenge is cancel"
They sighed and stared at each other .then promptly broke into laughter thinking of their crazy thoughts.
" Manik Cabir are you guys coming or not " that hill broken shout shoot out their ' bromance' time and they hurriedly rushed towards the washroom.

kitchen" no mom. Everything is fine. They're here na. You have no need to worry about. You just enjoy your vacations with dad. I am fine here. Bye. Love u. "
I hung up the call and getting busy making coffee for us.
My mom was with my dad. They went for yearly vacations. Though they wanted me too join but I couldn't because of my college and most importantly my Bffs . And I didn't want to leave them alone too. So I stayed back and from that day Manik and Cabir permanently made their residence over my place . As Cabir's mom was also not in town. And that made my parents relaxed about my security as I had them.
And about me. Toh... my life started with my BFFs and ended too like it was.
***
" Chale guys for you two humesha we used to be late. " I ranted again opening the back seat door of Manik's car while my those two idiots just kept giggling adjusting themselves in the front seats.
****
SPACE
As we hopped out of the car all the other students started ogling us. And the reason was very obvious.
" let's go to the canteen first ." Cabir suggested. It was his daily basis words to bunk the classes. But like usual I answered suing his urge " yes we will but after the class. "
" Per Nandu I am hungry yaar. " he like a child complained.
" achcha toh at breakfast who was the one hungry one, had three sandwiches in a go? " I sarcastically asked.
" bhabnao ko samjho.. three sandwiches were for one hour survival only. And they're gone. Now I am hungry. Aaree tu kya lamp post ki tarha khara hai, bol na. " Cabir seek Manik's help after giving me such lame excuses.
" hmmm yaahhh let's go " Manik said joining Cabir and he happily smiled getting a support.
I then looked at Manik raising my eyebrows indicating my ' really?' kind of anger look. And as expected it worked.
And he promptly changed his statement adding " Yaahh let's go. Let's go to the class. " saying without waiting for a mere second he started walking forward just to save himself from Cabir's frustrated frowns. And sulking like a defeated kid he followed him commenting " Ishh baby aur majnu baba k chakkar me humesa ish bechare pe attyachar hota hai. Huhhh"
My heart giggled watching such a cute scenario of my Bffs. I again thanked my aaiyaappaa for blessing me with them.
After I was done talking with my ayippaa I was about to start moving , I found what exactly said blessing.
My Bffs were standing just one hand away from me forwarding their hands for me to join.
A sigh of happiness escaped from my heart and I walked to them.
As soon as I reached to them Cabir wrapped his right hand around my shoulder and Manik slided his left arm around my back waist.
I smiled on their gesture and we started walking towards the class grabbing good and off course jealous attention of the students.
****
CLASS
" so class can anyone tell me What is variance in probability ? " the math professor asked.
I knew that answer so I raised my hand up along with very few of our class. But the professor, he just ignored me as I didn't existed at all. As my other friends gave wrong answers then I thought might be next was my turn to answer but on my shock he just kept ignoring me for no reason.
Or might be there was a reason as I had noticed our math professor stealthily stealing glances staring at my side.
It really surprised me as he ignored me in class but then yet he was taking stealthy trances. I was in my thoughts to figure out the calculations when suddenly my mind poked me and I promptly looked at my both sides . And the puzzle got sorted out witnessing the evil smirks of my evil twins.
" Aaiyaappaa !!!!! " I sighed a deep and went to visit a small similar flashbacks.
------- flashback----
" Ms. Moorthy kya aap bata sakte hai what's an exponential decay in quantum mechanics? " our physics sir asked me during our class.
I was always a confident student so holding that aura I stood up and started giving him the desired answers.
But somehow my answer couldn't reached upto his expectations. And he swayed me saying " Nandini is it how you are going to describe an exponential decay and life cycle of a quantum? If I am not wrong then you topped in your school board exams. Aren't you? "
I just simply nodded and then he started " look... this is the condition of this generation. A topper could not able to justify an answer to a simple topic. Such a pathetic. You guys just study for degree not for intelligence. Such irresponsible students. "
It was my first time when I was scolded black and blue that too in my very first month of college. His humiliation just made me upset , shattered to the core as I wasn't scolded till date for my studies and that day my 12 years record just broke into million pieces.
I was standing full numb and our professor just kept giving his moral speech about our pathetic futures.
Tears rolled down from my eyes ignoring my pleads. And I just kept praying Aaiyaappaa for no more insults.
But in those all things My mind fully had forgotten the most important part of my life who were siting on the both sides of me clenching their teeth to control themselves. They were controlling their anger as I kept promise from them not to react impulsive with professors. But my each mere tear droplets were perching their heart for the zillion times. If there was not any stupid promise then I afraid that it would be the last day When our Physics professor was Conducting anyclass in his entire life.
That class went like that and I just rushed to home leaving the college as I hadn't that courage to face the other students.
Then next day as usual class started and I surprisingly found our rude physics teacher very calm... no... more precisely scared. His face was unusually dark and he was avoiding eye contact with me. Though it would be me who should be scared of him after the last day but surprisingly it was him rather than me.
From that day throughout our entire first year he just kept very good distance from me.
It really surprised me to the extent that how could someone's behaviour change just in a day?
Then one fine one day my two BFFs spat out the truth of cracking fire crackers in front of his house at mid night with some scary threat notes written " stay away from us "
And some bucket of notorious threats using the power of being the trustee's son and only heir were enough to make his life hell.
And most probably it was another reason why most of the I mean all the students were scared of them.
---------------end-------
" Aaiyaappa !!!! " I shook my head in disbelief recalling past and fetching it with present. I gazed at my right side , just to earn a smirk along with a naughty wink and a blow kiss.
" So this time too ?? Yeh bhi... ??? " I asked them sarcastically.
" won't dare to mess with us " Manik completed my left over words where Cabir added with his evil smile " and if kia toh fir gaya baby "
And my two lovelies.. my evil twins hi-fived with their victory notorious smirk.
" Aaiyaappa !!! " was the only thing eloped from my mouth as I headed down on the desk with uttermost annoyance.
*****
It was our break time. Cabir and Manik went to canteen and I had to reissue my library card so I was heading towards the library. The corridor towards library was always remained deserted as the library was at the corner of our college premises.
I was walking alone through the corridor when abruptly I heard a sound and in the next moment
"Aaahhh... "
********
Chalo finally I am done with an update. Sorry if I failed to reach to your expectations as I have written in in a hurry and portraying MaNanBir again is really a tough job to me.
Though I have tried. Will wait for feedbacks. Rotten veggies are welcomed.
Keep commenting suggesting. Stay tuned.
