New SS: Hum-Tum...! Chapter 10 updated on Pg 70 - Page 8

"Haan, Madhavi! Ishu nikal gayi college ke liye?" Vishwa asked over phone. Mr. Vishwanathan Iyer, founder of a well-known firm and a true family man. He loves his family dearly. No one is more important than his family's happiness. A very down to earth personality he is!

(Yes.. Madhavi, Has ishu left for college?)

"Hmm... Chali gayi aapki ladli! Bhaagti bhaagti... cheeze biherti...uff puri toufan hai!"

(Hmm... your sweetheart has left! Running all around, knocking down things... she is such a messy person)

"Ohho.. tumne data toh nahi na?" he asked worried.

(Ohho.. did you scold her?)

"Daati toh yeh haal na hota! Daatne kahan dete hai aap? You always come to her rescue!" she complained.

(If I would have scolded her, situation would have been different! You don't let me scold her... You always come to her rescue)

"Yeah right?! Jaise tum aaram se reh paati ho Ishu ko daatne ke baad... do pal chain nahi aata tumhe! Mujhe yaad hai..."

(Yeah right!? As if you enjoy scolding her... you can't stay calm for even two mins after scolding her... I still remember...)

"Achha bas bas! Thik hai... maan gayi main! Hum dono ne he bigada hai use! We are partners in crime!"

(Okay fine! I agree... we have spoiled her together! We are partners in crime)

"Yes... as always!" he added with a chuckle. They talked little bit more and hanged up soon.

"I hope Ishu aaram se college pauch jaye! Murgan uske saath rehna!" she prayed.

(I hope Ishu reaches college safely...Murgan stay with her)

~~~~~~~~~

Raman parked his shining grey car in the college parking. Two guys moved forward towards his car. They high-fived.

"Kya haal hai bhai?" one of them asked.

(How are you dude?)

"Mast as always..! Tu bata?" he replied.

(Fab as always. You tell?)

"Nothing great yaar! Bas koi naya bakraa dhoond rahe hai!" other one replied.

(Nothing great yaar...Just looking for a new goat)

"Ohho... freshers haan?! Don't worry koi na koi toh mil he jayega...bakroo ki kami nahi hai!"

(Ohh..Freshers right?! Don't worry we will find one...there is no scarcity of them.)

"Exactly!" both of them said together with an evil smile. The first guy was Mihir, Raman's brother like friend. The other one was Ashok, his chaddi-buddy and partner in every crime. He knows his darkest secrets.

"Baaki gang kahan hai?" Raman asked looking for other crazy friends of his.

(Where is rest of the gang?)

"Baaki ki gang...Come on bhai..! You know it very well, aap ko kya lagta hai, Romi aur Subbu kahan milenge?"

(rest of the gang...come on bhai, you know it very well, what do you think, where are u going to find Romi and Subbu. )

"Ahh... Girls of course!"

"Yup... Btw won't you ask about her?"

Raman gave confusing expressions while both Ashok and Mihir had teasing looks on.

"Hey handsome!" a girl called out from behind. He realized whom they were talking about. Shagun! Shagun Arora... well this girl is behind him from last semester. His biggest mistake was to drop her home one day, when she was looking for lift. God knows what hinted her that he is interested in her, and everything started. She keeps on lingering with him, no matter how much he tries to ignore her. "Think of the devil and devil is here!" he muttered under his breathe.

She approached the boys standing in the field, "Hey boys! Kya haal hai?"

(Hey boys, how are you all?)

"Cool... waise hum abhi tumhare baare mein he baat kar rahe the! Raman puchh raha tha tumhare liye!" Ashok replied.

(Cool.. btw we were just talking about you. Raman was asking for you.)

Raman glared him furiously asking him to run for his life. "Ohh! Really?! Look handsome... tumne puchha aur main aa gayi! Abb batao kya baat hai? Bahout miss kar rahe the?" she asked as she leaned on him.

(Ohh! Really?! Look handsome... you asked, and I am here. Now tell me what is it? were you missing me?)

Raman immediately moved away, "A..a..Oh please Shagun! Why would I miss you?"

"Why?! That's a silly question, because you love me like I do!" she stated the obvious.

He rolled his eyes at her foolishness, and looked helplessly in Mihir's direction. Mihir chuckled lightly.

"Arre Shagun, bhai ke shabdo par mat jao, bhavnao ko samjho!" Mihir said which earned him another glare from Raman.

(Arre Shagun, don't go on his words, understand his deep feelings)

Shagun smiled. They started to move towards the college building. It was a stunning red-brick building with eyeball grabbing architecture. It was a well-ventilated building with a huge field. The college is well equipped with top most facilities and gave away one of the best placements last year. It has the biggest rainwater harvesting mechanism in complete Delhi. They were soon joined by Romi and Subbu. Raman saw Archit passing by, "Archit, ringtone change karli yaa main help karu?" he asked with a mischievous smile. This poor guy was one of the recent victims of Raman and his gang's pranks. On one fateful day, Raman hacked his phone password, which was not a difficult task at all and then changed the ringtone to some funny tune. While the lecture was going on, the Romi intentionally dialed his number. As soon as his mobile ringed, the whole classroom echoed with laughter. What a fun it was!

(Archit, have you changed your ringtone or I shall help you)

Archit nodded and left, leaving laughing Raman and his gang behind. That's how is! He is famous among all for his unmatched divine looks and his pranks! Everyone from teachers to students to sweepers, if not more then, at least once had been his victim. There was no one who was not aware his devilish mind.

"Raman, chal yaar! Ek prank toh banti hai, I mean pata toh chalna chahiye ki Raman is back!" Ashok said in between his laughs.

(Raman, come on...one prank will do, I mean let other know that Raman is back!)

"Aisa kya? Okay done!" Raman accepted.

(Is it so? Okay done!)

He looked around for a bakra. Just then, Ashok tapped on his shoulder, pointing towards a guy standing in corridor.

"I don't like his pants!" Ashok commented.

"Neither me!" Raman too agreed with a smile. Both of them had a devilish smile on!
