Sameer ,Munna and Pandit TS-Drunken Confessions (PART-2 UPDATED)

As they are back from the trip to school,Naina has drawn a borderline of  few guidelines.The guidelines include no calls to Sameer and from Sameer,absolutely no talks unless necessary and instructed by teachers  and they  are to behave as classmates only.

This was painful.They had come such a long way and he now at this junction existed in two places,where he was and where she was.And all this guidelines and distancing was just taking a toll on his mental health.

"Chenu! Aaj dakadak piye jaa raha. Papa ka dar nahin hai?'' Pandit asked taking a sip from glass.

"Aaj ..mujhe kisi ki daar nahin hai.Sameer! Aur daal de''. Munna instructed Sameer as he saw Sameer filling his glass with few more ml of Gold Riband Whiskey.

"Nahin Munna..sambhal nahin payega.Tujhe aadat nahin hai..'' Sameer  said though he had only once tried drinking  while staying in Nainital.

"Arey  khud to tujhse kuch nahin sambhla aur mujhe sambhal raha hai.. ''Munna laughed and snatched the glass from Sameer.

"Sameer!..Mujhe  Pandat ka yaad aa raha hai.Kitne din se..uski awaaz nahin suni.. ''Munna said in upsetting tone remembering how Swati had distanced herself from him when she learnt that Munna was  involved in bet game.

"Kya awaaz nahin suna?Main itna jor se bol raha hun,tu behra..ho gaya hai'' Pandit was heavily drunk by then to judge anything in conscious.

"Ponga Pandit!Tujhe nahin bol ..raha tha.Chup reh.''Munna said as he took another sip.

"Mera Pandit mera chehera nahin dekhna chahati.. ''Munna blabbered as he remembered how Swati was ignoring and avoiding him royally.

"Chehera nahin dekha? Main to tera paas baithta hoon.Dekh dekh ke pak gaya hun.'' Pandit  said as he  brought his face near Munna and Munna gave a push.

"Tu nahin Pandit.Mein apna Pandit ka baat kar raha hun. ''Munna said trying to put some sense in Pandit.

"Mera Pandit kitna door baith ti hai mujhse.. ''Munna said as he remembered Naina and Swati sitting at far changing places.

"Door baith ta hun? Itna..paas baitha hun..Chad gaya hai tujhe'' Pandit  clarified and laughed.

"Ponga Pandit! Tujhe chad gayi hai..E Sameer! Isse aur ek glass pila ke ache se sula de.'' Munna asked Sameer who was lost in his own world.

"Sameer! Sameer! Yaar..kahan kho gaya hai?'' Munna called him bringing him back to reality.

"Munna! Naina ki yaad aa rahi hai.. ''Sameer's voice choked a bit and two drops of tear trickled down his cheeks.

"Mana kar raha tha tujhe..shart wart mat laga...Nahin suna mera baat.Tere chakkar mein mera love story ka bhi The End ho gaya.'' Munna  voiced in agony as he helped himself with another small sip.

"Tera Love story ka The End kya hua hai? Mera to use bhi bura haal hai. ''Sameer grumbled and took another large sip.

"Pata hai Sameer! Tera bhoot agar us din tera sar pe nahin chadta to ab tak main Naina ko apni behen bana liya hota aur apna love story kitna age nikal gaya hota...'' Munna said with dreamy eyes and upset tone.

"Kya? Tu isliye mujhe help kar raha tha bet mein.? Koi mujhse saccha pyar nahin karta hai  Naina ke alawa.Sab khudgarz hain ''Sameer  was shocked to learn Munna's strategies while Munna was cursing his unfortunate stars.

"Kya khudgarz?Tere chakkar mein mera prem ka balidaan chad gaya hai,uspe tezaab gir gaya hai... ''Munna defended to Sameer's allegations.

"E Munna! Wo bottle paas kar'' Sameer asked and poured to drink more.

"Sameer! Apna Pandat ka bada yaad aa raha hai,uski awaaz sun lun dil ko thandak aa jayega.'' Munna was terribly missing his frock-wali Pandat'

"Phone karle.Uski number yaad hai na.?'' Sameer asked as he brought the telephone to his lap.

" Haan yaad to hai,lekin itni raat ko..phone karunga?Thik nahin..lag raha..'' Munna was still in bit sense to judge.

"Kya itni raat? Naina aur Main to kitni..raat..kitni der ..tak baatein karte the...Gana sunte the..Number bol'' Sameer didn't realise that he blurted a guarded secret.

"Kyaa? Tu  itna pyar karta tha sipahi se? Jhoothe! Mujhe lag raha tha ki tujhe pyar ho gaya hai Sipahi se...Acha chal number laga.'' Munna was getting to know what all Sameer had guarded from them.

The phone rang on continuously and Naina picked up the call to know who called so late at night.She was sure it could not be Sameer because the phone didn't ring twice.

"Hello! ''Naina said but there was no reply.Munna was taken aback listening to Naina's voice.He then thought he might be hallucinating.

"Hello! Koun?'' Naina raised  her voice and stressed on each word.

Munna  immediately cut the call realizing its not Swati's voice.

"E Sameer! Pandat ka awaaz badla badla sa lag raha tha.Kisi aur ko phone laga dala tha kya?'' Munna said in confusion.

"Hahha..Swati do hafta dur kya baithi ki tu uski awaz bhul gaya..'' Sameer laughed and added ice cubes to the glass.

"E! Aise mat bolna.Mera pyar itna kamzor nahin hai.Main khud ka awaaz bhul sakta hun,lekin apna Pandat ka nahin.'' Munna proudly declared.

"Tujhe chad gayi hai..Main Swati ko hi call lagaya tha.'' Sameer  said confidently as he emptied the whole glass.

"Thik hai..Laga phone..Phir se.'' Munna straightened him and was all ready for challenge with another sip.Sameer  pressed the redial button.

The phone rang much to annoyance of Naina.She picked up thinking may be Swati had called for asking about Maths Assignment.

"Hello! ''Naina said as she picked up the phone and didn't get the reply from other end.

"E Pandat! Tu hi hai na?Tera awaaz badla badla sa lag raha hai.Jagah to  badal diya aur ab awaaz bhi.School mat badliyo,isi gham main pura ka pura sharabi ban jaunga. ''Munna tried emotional blackmailing.

"Hello! Itni raat ko pike call kar rahe ho..tumhe sharam nahin ati.Chi.'' Naina scolded at a raised pitch.

"E bhai Sameer! Yeh Naina ka awaaz hai.'' Munna suddenly recognized Naina's voice and Naina unfortunately heard the conversation before Munna disconnected the call.

"Sameer! ''Naina thought and suddenly remembered the caller saying'' E Pandat!.''

"MUNNA!'' Naina recognized the drunken caller''.Munna ne pi rakhi hai aur call laga liya.Par uske paas to phone nahin hai...Ab Samjhi!.Munna Sameer ke saath hai aur dono ne pi rakhi hai.Lafange,aware...mujhe laga Sameer badal raha hai..Aane do kal dono ko school mein ''

Naina huffed in anger and went back to study.

"Sameer!.Sipahi  mera awaaz pehchan gayi hogi.'' Munna cried and gulped two more sips.

"Naina ko phone lag gaya tha? Shit! Apna bag pack karle,kal pakka expel honge ''Sameer  felt  disturbed at sudden turn of events.

"Arey expel koun karegai? Sipahi? Sipahi  Sipahi Bhai Bhai..Tu tension mat le..Pandit humara Raja,Tu humara Romeo aur hum Sipahi..Bhai Bhai''  Munna blabbered as he was really high now.He slumped on floor and fell into deep slumber.

"Zindagi mein kounsa paap kiya tha Ahmedabad mein  aake gira.Nainital sambhal nahin paya isliye Ahmedabad aa gaya aur..Ahmedabad main itna bura haal ki lagta ab lagta hai finally  Himalaya jana padega.''Sameer said to himself seeing Munna and Pandit  already snoring.

"Aaj last raat hai Sanyaas lene se pehle.Thoda life enjoy karlun.Kal to school se expel hona tay hai aur ghar se bhi.Pata nahin Himalaya mein Whiskey milegi ki nahin.Wahan pe stock nahin hoga to...'' He gave a thought and emptied the remaining bottle into his glass.

"Thank You Kabir! You are my one true pal.'' Sameer raised the glass as a toast to his friendship.

"Kabir! Tum hi mere sache aur ache dost ho...Lekin..lekin...Naina se kam.Naina jaisa koi nahin.,Naina jaisa koi ho sakega bhi nahin.

Naina tum Pari ho.

Meri Zindagi ki Pari ho

.Meri kavita ki Pari ho.

Meri aag ki Pari ho

,meri candle ki Pari ho.

Mere sharab ki Pari ho...

Main Shayar,Tum Lekhika.

Tum lekhika ,Tum Pari...''

 Sameer blabbered his drunken confession before drowsiness conquered him.

(To be Continued)

In the Morning

They got up to repeated calls of Ramdhari  and Munshi Ji.Thankfully Nanaji was out of town.They got ready to go to school as it was the last day to submit the Maths Assignment.  Still  recuperating  from  hangover,they readied themselves.Munna had completely forgotten about the previous night's incident while Sameer  had  vivid memory of dialling Naina's number.

"Yaar Sameer! E sar gol gol chakkar laga raha hai aisa lag raha hai mele ke  jhula mein baitha hoon...upar niche..dayen bayen ho raha hai sar.''. Munna voiced in agony as he held  his forehead.

"Haan yaar! Aisa lag raha hai jaise aaj yeh sar to phatke hi rahega.Kuch kar bhai. ''Pandit went on dashing his head  lightly against the wall  hoping that the terrible headache would suffice a little.

"Bol raha tha tum dono ko.Mat piyo lekin nahin.Ab khud sambhalo apne aap ko.'' Sameer scolded  them though he even was suffering from a throbbing headache.

"Acha thik hai.Aise shakal mat banao.Main Ramdhari ko bol ke aata hun nimbu pani  bana lega.Thoda nasha utar jayega aur sard dard bhi kam ho jayega.Phir dabai kha lenge aur kisiko kuch pata nahin chalega.'' Sameer  elaborated his strategy and went to instruct Ramdhari.

"Yeh dawai kahan bhag gaya..Shit! Ab kya karun?Uhh! " Sameer  rummaged the drawer and held his head in despair as he realised that he had thrown away the medicine strip when he became truly serious about Naina.

"Sameer! Arey dawai to de..Main mar raha hun..'' Munna cried ailing from the headache.

"Dawai phenk diya hai..Ab iss nimbu pani se hi kaam chalao. ''Sameer  informed handing them the glasses.

"Kya phenk diya hai? E Pandit! Yeh Sameer sach mein pagal ho gaya hai... ''Munna trailed and stopped seeing Sameer's anger.

"Haan ho gaya hun Pagal..Tumhe rehna hai ek pagal saath to raho nahin to chale jao..'' Sameer  spoke in temper  as sharp throbs ran through his head.

"Arey tu naraaz kyun hota hai? Chal school chalte hein.'' Munna  tried pacifying Sameer .

At School

"Aaa...Sameer  kaise chala raha hai gadi..isse to acha tha hum paidal chale aate.'' Munna  voiced shivering from Sameer's  unruly driving.

"Arey pahunch gaye school..Aur tum dono chup  rehna..Nahin to sabko pata chal jayega ki tum log pi rakhi hai.'' Sameer made them understand since they were beginners in this field.

"Haan..haan chup rahenge..cellotape laga lete hein'' Pandit suggested to be slapped by Munna for the stupid idea.

Naina arrived at school and didn't find Sameer's bike in the parking area.

"Naina ! Tu bhi na pagal ho gayi hai.Lafange pike so rahe honge ab tak aur tu unhe dhoond rahi hai school mein.'' She told herself and face palmed at her stupidity.

She came into class and found  Sameer,Pandit and Munna sleeping  on their desks.She  was surprised to find them so early in classroom when she expected them to be absent. Since she knew how heavily drunk they were the night before.

She went to her seat as she saw other students approaching along with Chemistry Sir.

"Bachon! Humara class shuru ho gaya hai.Lekin kuch bachon ka ab bhi neend puri nahin hui hai.Ab aise bachon ko kya saja de?'' Chemistry Sir asked  targeting the question towards the trio who were still sleeping.

"Sir! Unko murga bana djiye'' Munna  voiced sleepily.

"Sabas! To aa jao Sameer Maheswari,Pandit aur Munna  Sahab..Fatafat murga ban jao''.Chemistry Sir ordered and Sameer  woke up  unwillingly while Pandit slapped Munna for his folly.

"Sir Ji!'' Munna tried defencing only to be shut by Sameer's glare.He immediately recalled Sameer instructing against speaking a word or else they would be caught.

Sameer's heart sank everytime he spotted a peon.He knew that by then Naina would have informed the Principal and the expulsion letter would be just getting ready to arrive.

The wait to go into Principal office was seeming never-ending.No orders yet and the shrill recess bell went off.

In The Canteen

Swati,Preeti and Naina  clubbed around a table while Sameer,Munna and Pandit  came with stumbling feet  bumping into chairs and still trying to behave normal.

"Naina!Mujhe lagta hai ye log na subah se kuch khake nehin aaye hain.Dekh kaise chakkar aa rahe hein inhe.Bechare! ''Preeti felt sorry for trio and especially for Pandit seeing him holding his head and his unsteady feet.

"Tujhe unki chinta karne ki zaroorat nehin hai.''Naina spoke in temper and Preeti was bit surprised with Naina's attitude.

"Ab ise kya hua? Chalo..mujhe kya..main apna samosa kha leti hun''. Preeti  told herself and concentrated more on the filling of Samosa than on her nearby surrounding.

"Naina! Main aur Preeti class mein hein.Tu khana khatam karke aa.'' Swati informed Naina  as she pulled Preeti to discuss about the newly released film.

"Tum kal mujhe raat mein call kiya the? ''Naina asked Munna after Swati and Preeti left and Pandit  and Sameer too withdrew into class to sleep.

"Main kyun call karunga?Tumhara aashik kal ro ke,pi ke call lagaya tha.Tum uske najar ke samne aur jigar ke pass nahin the na isliye...'' Munna  tried defending his stand against the allegation.

"Tum bhi pi  rakhi thi na kal raat ko?'' Naina asked Munna though she very well knew the answer.

"Kyaa?Tumhe Sameer ne bata diya..Wo kya samjha? Akele mein hi expel hunga? Main akele nahin piya tha,Sameer aur  Pandit bhi bahut pi rakhe the.'' Munna  informed hoping that at lest Naina would still have some love for Sameer and she would n't complain against them to the Principal.

"Naina! Sach mein.Apne Ghanti wale baba ke kasam.Main call nahin lagaya tha.Wo to Sameer tumhe yaad karke,ro ke aur daka dak pike call lagaliya hoga.. ''Munna  said faintly remembering last night's episode.

Sameer came to Canteen to call Munna  when he heard Munna voice the lines.

"Koi roye ya sar phod de..Mujhe koi fark nahin padta.Badtameez the aur badtameez rahoge...Itna  sara kand karne ke baad aur bhi kuch baki reh gaya hai? Main bhi kin badtameezon ke saath baat kar rahi hoon... ''She targeted the answer at Sameer who was standing at the threshold of canteen hall.

In the Classroom

"Sameer! Apna  homework copy submit karo ''Shanti teacher asked Sameer  when she found his copy missing from the lot.

"Ji ...Anchoo..'' Sameer sneezed  and submitted his copy.

"To bachon..aaj hum Circles ke bare mein padhenge.Apne apne kitaab ke pachpan(55) page kholiye.'' Shanti teacher instructed as she drew a circle on the blackboard.

"Anchoo. Sorry.anchoo.So...anchooo...rry..Anchoo ''Sameer sneezed continuously for  three minutes and all heads turned towards the Sameer Sneezing' Maheshwari.

"Kya baat hai Sameer? Itni chink aa rahi hai tumhe.Zukham ho gaya hai? ''Shanti teacher  asked Sameer seeing his nose turn red due to continuous sneezing.

"Haan..Anchoo.Anchoo.Shayad..Anchoo. ''He answered sneezingly.

"Naina! Sameer ko Sick Room' mei le jao.Aur wahan use dawai bhi de dena.Thik hai.'' Shanti Ma'am ordered Naina much to chagrin of Naina.

"Par Ma'am main agar jaungi to class miss ho jaegi.'' Naina tried changing Shanti Maiam's decision.

"Main aage nahin padhaungi.Tum fikr mat karo aur use le jao.Bechare ka chink chink ke bura haal ho gaya hai.''Shanti teacher  sympathised with Sameer seeing him with a runny nose and red eyes.

"Chalo. ''Naina asked Sameer and he quietly followed her.

"Ancho..anchoo..Naina...Anchoo.Sorry...Anchoo.'' Sameer tried apologising her seeing that it was perfect opportunity with no one around.

"Zukham kaise huya?Kal raat kya pi rahe the?'' Naina asked  without paying any heed to the apologies.

"Wo..Gold Ri band Whiskey ki wajah se..Anchoo..zukham ho gaya hai..''Sameer  told the truth.He had promised himself that that no matter through what phase their relationship or 'special friendship'' goes through,he would never lie to her.

"KYAA?Whiskey pi thi?Hey bhagwan  kya kya pite ho.Chi.Ahmedabad mein to nahin milta hai..Pakka pata hai mujhe..Kahan se laaye the tum?Phir kis mawali ke saath dosti kar liya?'' Naina was really pissed up with his  habits and lifestyle.

"Wo..Nainital se..Anchoo..Kabir..anchoo..leke aaya..tha..'' Sameer  said  without meeting her eyes.

"Ab ye Kabir koun hai? Nahin sudhroge na tum. ''Naina threw the words with displeasure.

"Kabir..mera Nainital...wala dost hai.Hum saath saath boarding ..Anchooo...main rehte the..'' Sameer  said remembering the good old,carefree days of Nainital.

"Chup raho aur chalo room mein.''She quietened him seeing him sneezing,sneezing and more sneezing.

"Idhar aao aur iss bed pe let jao.'' Naina instructed while he obliged to her without uttering a single word.

"Pike talli hone mein top,ladai jhagde main top,har tarah ki ulta palta kaam karne mein bhi top, zukham pakadne mein bhi top...Saare ulte pulte kaam karte ho lekin apna dhyan nahin rakh sakte..Ghar mein ek sweater nahin hai tumhara?Itni thand mein bina sweater ke  ghum rahe ho..Tumhe to kuch bolna bhi bekar hai.'' Naina  scolded him and he listened to her  "daant ''with a contended smile.

He was ready to commit any mistake only to listen her scoldings.

"Haan Sweater to hai..Par agar main..Anchoo..wo pehen ke aaunga..ek ladki us sweater ke saath mujhe jala degi.Aur itni jaldi mujhe nahin marna.Main Himalaya chala jaunga lekin itni jaldi to marne ka chahat nahin hai.''Sameer  explained.

"Itni sadhu ban ne ki zaroorat nahin hai.' Naina  voiced listening to the mention of word' Himalaya'.

"Sadhu to ban na hi padega.Kuch hi der main hum to expel honge hi.Munna,Pandit ka mujhe pata nahin,par main to tay kar liya hoon..Anchoo..main Sanyaas leke  Himalaya chala jaunga.Main apna bag bhi pack kar liya hai.'' Sameer informed her  his plans of future.

"Sameer! Tum kitni pi rakhi hai?Ab bhi nashe main ho...'' Naina was surprised with his semi-inebriated state of mind and sleepy,husky voice.

"Yeh Nasha nahin dawai hai.'' Sameer  corrected her.

"Dawai?'' Naina asked sarcastically.

"Haan.Dawai.

Ghum mitane ki dawai.

Pucho kiski dawai?

Naina ko bhulane ki dawai.

KABIR! I LOVE YOU.

Pucho kiski dawai? ''Sameer  asked her  and Naina realised that he has lost his mind to the Whiskey.

"Sameer!Chup chap lete raho.Agar aur ek labz bhi bole to main Shanti teacher ko sab kuch sach bata dungi,tumhari dawai ke bare mein.'' Naina tried intimidating him and covered him with blanket.

"Kiski dawai?'' Sameer continued..

"Chup''. Naina  gedtured.

"Kiski dawai?Naina ki dawai.

'Naina ! Tum pari ho..'' Sameer voiced and Naina rolled her eyes not knowing what to say him.

"Sameer!Tum gharse school kaise aaye?'' Naina asked as she remembered not seeing his bike in the parking area.

"Ghar se school...Bike pe.Anchoo..Naina ! Tum Pari ho..lekin tum mujhe ghar se nahin laa sakti.'' Sameer  voiced  remembering how the fairies in fairy tales used to take princes and princess from one place to other.

"Tum ghar wapas is halat mein zinda laut paoge?Waise maine to tumhari gadi parking mein nahin dekhi.Sameer! Bike kahan park ki?'' She asked in confusion.

"Naina! Bike kahan park ki? ''He asked her in confusion.

"Sameer! Tumhara bike hai..isliye tumhe pooch rahi hoon.'' Naina  tried to make sense to him.

"Naina! Tumhara school hai..isliye tumhe pooch raha hoon''. Sameer too tried making her see the sense.

"Kyun yeh tumhara school nahin hai? ''Naina asked.

"Main to kuch ghanto mein expel hone wala hoon.Ab Himalaya hi mera ghar aur school hai.

Main chala jaunga Naina ..humesha ke liye...

Ab yeh bike tumhare hawale hai.'' Sameer  spoke emotionally .

"Sameer! Bike kahan hai?Hosh mein aao''. Naina  shook his head to bring him back to senses.

"Naina! Jo jeeta wohi Sikander.Yeh bike ab tumhari hai..tumne bike jeet li hai..

Tum meri dil,dimag aur bike jeet li hai...

Tumne Sameer ko jeet liya hai..Tum ne uski bike ko bhi jeet liya hai. ''Sameer declared.

"Sameer ! Chup raho warna mein Papa ko bula lungi.'' Naina tried the final shot of bringing him back to senses.

"Anchoo... ''Sameer sneezed much to anger of Naina.

"Kal pike kahan bhatakne gaye the ki itni sardi lag gayi?'' Naina asked to know what actually transpired the previous night.

"Kal agar dhuan chod deta to sardi nahin lagti. ''Sameer  said in regret of sleeping without smoking which could have prevented his alcohol sensitivity.

"Tum cigarette bhi pine ka plan banaya tha?'' Naina was truly disappointed with his recoiling back to former bad habits.

"Naina! Tumhari kasam..maine nahin piya hai..Munna aur Pandit  thoda piye the.'' Sameer  swore.

"Tumhe pata hai na..Dhuan se bhi kark rog hota hai''. Naina  tried to make him recall about their speech.

"Nahin Naina! Anchoo..aur lecture nahin sun na.'' Sameer  voiced in despair.

"Sameer! Tumhe bukhar aa raha hai..Chup chap so jao.

Mawali,awaron ki tarah sharab pioge

Bahar thand mein bhat koge..Zukham tumhe nahin hogi to kya mujhe hogi?

ANCHOO...'' Naina sneezed as she scolded him again.

"Tumhe bhi sardi lag gayi? Tum bhi pi ke bahar bhatak rahi thi?Daku ki beti ki tarah'' Sameer was extremely happy seeing her sneeze just like him.

"Sameer! Tumhari chink se mujhe zukham pakad gayi.

Ab baatein band.Main dawai leke aati hoon.'' Naina instructed.

"Naina! Tumhe bhi sardi lag gayi hai.Bukhar ho jayegi.Aa jao kambal ke ander.Ab ek hi kambal hai.Adjust kar lenge.'' Sameer called her  making space on the bed  and she blushed with his proposal.

"Badmash! ''She uttered and left the room.

Meanwhile

"Oh! Yeh sard dard..'' Munna cried as he held his head in agony.

"Munna! Yeh balm lo.Lagalo.Dard kam hojayega.'' Swati offered him the headache lessening balm she carried with her feeling extremely pity for his condition.

"Thank you Swati! ''Munna  voiced as he took the balm and applied on his forehead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"NAINA!'' Swati  rushed out of classroom and spotted Naina in the corrider.

"Kya hua?Tu aise bhag kyun rahi hai?'' Naina asked seeing  Swati  in dishevelled state.

"Naina! Munna  ko nasha ho gaya hai..Pandat ke jagah Swati bol raha hai..'' Swati cried.

"Hhheee..Tujhe abhi pata chala ...?'' Naina  asked smilingly.

"KYA?Tujhe pehle se pata tha? ''Swati asked in disbelief.

"Maaf kar..Insaaf kar..Hawa ane de...'' Naina delivered in style and went back to Sick Room.'
