Chap-9
Rachna and Gunjan shifted to hostel for their new college n both decided to concentrate on their studies without breaking their family trust.It was difficult for girls to forget their love but new place,new friends kept them busy n not to think about past.
Gunjan:Rachna today s our freshers party n why are you dressed in old dress
Rachna: But this s my lucky dress..Whenever I wear it,I will get what I want
Gunjan:Best of my luck my best friend
Rachna fed Gunjan sweet n both took blessings from god n left to college.
Both the girls were surprised seeing the infrastructure of college.,it looked so vast,As the girls walked along the pavement between the trees they saw many seniors starring at them n freshers walking along their parents.The girls found the auditorium n came n took their seats.They waited for a quite long time for the program to start.
Rachna:Uhh finally chairman came
Gunjan:but someone pls tell her to stop she s boring me
Rachna:Shhh
Gunjan:Will they give us snacks or not,atleast I would enjoy that
Rachna laughed at Gunjan n pinched her hand.suddenly the girls heard names which were too familiar to them from Chairperson's speech,they both raised their head in so much of eagerness n was shocked seeing Mayank n Kabir walking towards Dias,Both dressed in black coat n white shirt n a red tie went running to the stage,while all the girls jaw opened on seeing them.
Both took blessings from the chairman n the chairman did the honours by giving the shield n medal n handed the mike to boys.
Gunjan n Rachna were so tensed seeing the boys they hided themselves by sitting so down in chair n Rachna's hands were shaking n Gunjan held it.
Gunjan:They cant see us in this crowd Rachna dont worry.
Mayank:Hi handsome guys n beautiful girls,We take the pleasure in welcoming u all to our university
Kabir:Each of you would have come up with a dream like I had n I am not sure if college will make u achieve all ur dreams but in the end you will definitely know how to achieve ur dreams
Mayank:Well said Kabir n I request any of the fresher to come up to stage n share us what ur expectations r
No one raised their hand.So the boys asked someone from last but one row to come up,The light flashed on the row where our girls sat.
Kabir:The girls who are hiding behind the chairs pls come up,A big applause for them guys.
Gunjan:Rachna you go
Rachna:No you go
Since the crowd shouted more Gunjan stood up dragging Rachna along her n light was only on the girls now.
Mayank and Kabir went speechless on seeing the girls,They stood still as the girls walked to the Dias.
Kabir:Mayank whats all this.Shit I thought I should never meet her
Mayank:Kabir control all are watching us
Both the boys gave the fake smile on their face n Mayank gave mike to Rachna.Kabir found her hands shaking like asusual n felt that mad feeling that she would expect him to hold her hand n scolded himself for thinking crazy.
Rachna:Good morning all am Rachna, Hi Mayank n Kabir first thanks for welcoming all of us,I dunno what to speak am really nervous
Saying it she gave a smile biting her lips n Kabir noticed it but he changed his side to crowd n was irritated seeing all the boys admiring Rachna.
Rachna:My expectations might sound too high but I think I can do it,its that after four years like Mayank n Kabir I want to adress the freshers after bcuming pride to university.
Everone in auditorium clapped for her bold answer including the chairman.
Mayank:Wish you all sucess Miss Rachna
Kabir:That was really a good one Rachna
Rachna didnt dare to look in to his n she just smiled putting her head down.And the girls walked back to crowd n Gunjan hugged her for being so bold before the boys.
Chairman:I could see lot of promising talents here,for all those I have a spl surprise,our pride Mayank n Kabir will work for our college for few months n will train the freshers.Freshers pls make use of them,the whole crowd was happy for this except for the two girls.The freshers party continued with some singing n dance performances by seniors.
Rachna:Gunjan before the boys leave,come lets go hostel
Gunjan:Dont be silly what if we get caught
Rachna:Noone will see us come
Gunjan:Rachna my snacks
Rachna:Will get you more to eat pls come now
Both the girls ran from the auditorium n stopped at the canteen for some breath.
Gunjan:Wow Rachna canteen
Rachna:Hey its nice.come lets have something
The girls bought an icecream n sat to eat,while the boys entered.Rachna dropped the icecream in shock n Gunjan swallowed her icecream n her cheeks were bulging.
Mayank:Kabir did you see who s here?
Kabir:How will I miss seeing the cheaters
Gunjan:Mayank what's this?
Mayank:Hello miss Gunjan first have your icecream n then talk..See how funny she eats Kabir
Both guys laughed hard n shared an hifive.
Rachna:Hello,We thought not to disturb you since we did mistake but you going beyond ur limits.
Rachna said it pointing her finger towards Kabir n he twisted her finger back,
Kabir:Dont dare to point your finger at me again,and both of you dont forget we are going to be your lecturers.
Gunjan:So
Mayank:You both really going to have bad time,feeling sad for you
Kabir left Rachna's finger n put his cooler on n left the place following Mayank.
Rachna:Whats this Gunjan.I hate them
Gunjan:I cant imagine they will hate us this much
Rachna:we should be more carefull Gunjan.
******************************
Next day as the girls sat next to each in first bench n was waiting for lecturer to arrive..Mayank entered the class.
Mayank:Good morning frnds
Except for the girls all wishes them.
Mayank:So before I start with my class I have something to share with you..He started explaining on his own project.
Gunjan:I never knew Mayank s more of publicity,He keeps talking about himself
Mayank:Whats that sound,Gunjan pls stand up
Gunjan:Sir I didn do anything
Mayank:Hereafter you n Rachna should not sit together in my class,Go shift to the last bench
Gunjan scolded him badly n moved to her bench,She slept in his class hiding behind the girls n Rachna was bit worried if she will get caught l but luckily his class was over n Kabir came in.Rachna ran to Gunjan n woke her up n took her to her place.
Kabir:So how was your first class Gunjan
Gunjan:Superb sir,He took the class so lively
Rachna was controlling her laughter n Kabir sensed t.
Kabir:Rachna could you rub the board for me
Rachna came front with so much hatred in her face n after rubbin she placed the duster so forcely n Kabir was enjoying it,suddenly she stamped on the stick n was about to fall when Kabir placed his hand before her tummy that she fell in his arms.The boys whistled n Kabir left the hold feeling bit awkward.
Rachna remembered stick was in Kabir's hand while she went to rub the board n thought he did it on purpose n took the stick from down n placed on desk n left to her place angrilly.
Gunjan:What madam..flashback uh?
Rachna:No way,I hate him
Kabir to himself " Why did I help her,Oh god I should not fall for her again."End of chap -9
