Part-1
"Juniors" Armaan exclaimed in delight and walked towards a bunch of scared newbies.
He saw two girls who didn't seem to leave each other's side..."Are you both from the same iskool?"
"No"
"Then it seems that you both have won a scholarship instituted by fevicol and this is your way of showing gratitude towards them"
The girls didn't know how to react .Armaan said "Ok, you guys can go now, I'll wait for the entire flock of fledglings to gather before I introduce myself"
He hummed the song"Jiska mujhe tha intezaar woh ghadi '."
Nidhi and Ranju didn't have a clue as to where they should be going, the college was one mammoth structure, part of which was built during the British rule. They hesitated to ask for directions as it would be an open invite to ragging. They roamed around trying to find their way while taking care not to be noticed by a senior.
"Oh" ...and books fell down with a thud...Nidhi had collided with a stunningly handsome guy.
Ranju watched as Nidhi apologised to him...the guy was smiling...
"Juniors??"
Yes...Ranju silently cursed Nidhi for getting into another mess...
"It is fine, both of us weren't careful...and by the way, you guys are supposed to be in the seminar hall, which is on the first floor of B block...guess my friends have removed all the direction notes"
Having said this, he walked away with his books and entered what looked like a library. He left behind a faint smell of cologne which was taken in by Nidhi with a deep breath.
Nidhi let out a sigh of relief."Nidhi, for the first time your clumsiness has bailed us out of trouble rather than further ensnaring us in it"
What a sight awaited them, lost looking juniors were being corralled by bossy seniors.
A girl came and asked them to get in..."Shridhar, two more lambs have walked in "
Laughter followed.
Nidhi felt bad that the seemingly nice boy had tricked them...Ranju said,"What else did we expect ? why would he be sympathetic to us and break ranks with his friends?"
" Ranju my dear, we wouldn't have been in this place had you thought about that a few minutes earlier"
"Look who is talking...who had asked you to collide with that senior? you are not a weightless body floating in the air"
Silence Silence...listen to us kids. Armaan's voice boomed and all looked at him to find out what fate awaited them.
A skinny girl came forward and listed out the unofficial "rules" they were supposed to adhere to. They were to be enforced by the seniors very strictly. ..
A boy and a girl entered the room , Nidhi recognised him as the guy she had collided with...a faint wave of discomfort passed through her when she noticed the girl accompanying him.
"Aayiye, Aayiye, Mallika-e-husn, hum sab aap hi ka intezaar kar rahe the"
"I declare the session open" the girl giggled...
"Ashu tu chal picche, school se lekar medical college tak tu front bench pe aise fixed raha jaise Agra mein Tajmahal, for a change peeche ka seat lele."
"Fine, that'll keep me safe in case anti-ragging squad comes to our campus"
"Yaar tu kitna sochtha hai, ja ja wahaan baith ke gold medal jeethne ka sapna dekh"
The round of ragging began and the seniors amused themselves by assigning weird tasks to the juniors.
"Ms.Nidhi" Armaan read out from the list in his hand...plz come here.
