Unakenna Venum Sollu

Chapter 2: College munadi manatha vangatha paaa

6 months later

"Rakshuuu" I dragged sitting next to her in the bus. 

"Enna ilukura? Enna prechanai?" She asked. 

"Prechanai illaaa... Inaiku madhiyanam na US poren di... Inom oru five-ten months ku vara matten.." I broke it to her. 

"Enna di solraaa?? Ippo solraaa?? Ama appo edhuku ippo vantha??" Rakshana asked. 

"Edhuku half a day waste pananum? Appa yara achum pick up pana anupuren nu sonaru, athunala than, And enake nethu night than theriyum di" I replied. 

"Ama un appa anupuvaru, ungaluku enna korai.." She joked. 

"Oi... don't call me out like that" I said. 

"Ok Miss Aniha Arjun avargale..." 

"Antha Arjun aa matum sona paravala, antha Aditya vayum public la sona....." I reminded. No one knew I was The Businessman Arjun Aditya's adopted/foster/whatever you call it, but I call it simply daughter. People only knew me as Aniha Arjun, Your average middle class tomboy, with a chill dad, and no mother. While Rakshu and Keerthi, my two best friends, knew me as Aniha Charu Arjun Aditya, your alaparai panatha rich-rich ponnu, adopted daughter of Arjun Aditya.

Finally after reaching college, we found our way to our block and started our classes. Everything went good, and finally during maths class almost all our stomach rumbled like anything so ma'am left us early. In our college, we have to go to the canteen and come back to our class to eat, so Rakshu, Keerthi and me went to the canteen. I got one simple veg sandwich and oru can sprite, but these two got mutta kalakki, fried rice and a few other stuff. 

"Machi our last lunch together for more five-ten months, oru cheers podu" Keerthi said. We took our cans of cooldrinks and clinked it together. 

"Bro inom polaya?" Darshan asked as he passed us while having a pepsi can and a plate of some biriyani in his hand. 

"Illa dude, pick up pana alu varnum la... Enna na porathu la avlo santhoshama da?" I asked. 

"Oi apdi lam illa di, just keten" He replied and went to sit with his fronts. 

After around 20 minutes, we finished lunch and we were talking about random stuff, then suddenly our physics ma'am, who was our incharge that day's assistant ma'am came running into our class panting. 

"Sheela Ma'am-" She panted. 

"Enna achu Jessy ethuku ipdi odi vara?" Sheela Ma'am (our physic's ma'am) asked. 

"Nam-Namba college ku..." Jessy ma'am started. 

"Namba college ku?" Sheela ma'am asked. 

"A-Arj-Arjun A-Aditya vanthirkaru-" Jessy ma'am finally ended and my eyes shot up and I stood up immediately, all eyes on me now, including both the ma'ams. 

"Enga irukaru?" I asked grabbing my bag. 

"Lobby la, edhuku kekura da? Inspiration aa?" she asked. 

"Apdi nu solalam ana ithu konjam vera matter miss" Keerthi said. 

"Eh?" Both ma'ams asked as the whole class left the classroom and raced to the lobby with the teachers behind us. 

"Ei unaku kuda va Arjun aa pudikum?" I asked to Rohit, the backbencher, never listens, epdi medical college kula vantha nu oruthanukum theriyathu. 

"Mmm! Evlo periya alu! En ma, padikala na kuda, role models irupanga, favourites irupanga" He replied. I laughed. 

Finally we were at the lobby. It was surrounded my securities. Appa oda securities. I recognised Dheena, so I went towards him while all my classmates were telling me not to. 

"Hi Dheena Anna... Enna mattum ula vidunga len..." I asked.

"Hi da ma.. sorry da... ennala mudiyathu, neeya irunthalum sir ula vida vendam nu solirkaru..." He replied. 

"Ennayum aa venam nu sonaru?" I asked. He nodded. I grit my teeth and walked back with my eyes narrowed. 

"Venam nu sona ketiya?" Rishika said from nowhere. 

"Adi podi... Nee vera..." I mumbled. 

"Enna achu di?" Keerthi asked, Rakshu nodded. 

"Hmmm en arivu keta thanthai ennai kuda ula vida kudathu endru solirkar am" I said in an angry tone. 

"Pina una mattum ula vita sus aa irukathu? Aprom, un appa ku arivu ketu irunthuchi na nee inga iruka matta, nyabagam vechiko..." Rakshu said. 

"Ama, un appa ethuku solanum?" Darshan asked. I hit myself. 

"Inom konja nerathula papa" I replied and turned to Rakshu and hit her in the head. 

Almost the whole college was standing outside the lobby in the scorching afternoon heat at this point, just to see the person I see everyday in most cases, but now I hadn't seen him in 5 months as he'd gone to Banglore, Hyderabad, Delhi, and where not, without me, and yesterday night he calls me and tells me that we're going to US for 5-10 months, that was the reason I was also standing with them to see him. 

Finally the doors opened and Maria came out. 

"Polam aa?" Maria asked me as she reached me. 

"Irunga ka, Enga avaru? Enna kuda ula vida kudathu nu solirkaru nu kelvi paten, enga "The Most Eligible Bachelor of India" and owner, founder and CEO of ARC Technology Services, Mr Arjun Aditya?" I replied. Everyone who were in the field distance to hear me passed a murmer, whisper or a gasp. 

"Aniha, ipdi kolantha mathiri panatha, sir varuvaru, nee aprom thitiko?" She asked. 

"Mhm... intha kutathuku munadi thituven... appo than en athram thirum... Enna neenga 5 months enna vitutu Business nu per la India va tour pantu varuvinga, na intha kutathula ungala paka wait pananum?" I replied. 

"Aniha... Seri ok nee ingaye iru na anga wait panren.." She sighed and went to speak to another bouncer I didn't know and recognize. 

And then finally after two minutes en thanga appa came out. He stared at the crowd standing in front of him bewilderment and finally saw me. He waved as he walked down the stairs, but I glared at him threw him a punch.

"En di unaku mattum wave panraru, nee punch panra!!!" Someone yelled from my class, I think it was Dinesh.

"Dei vaya pothitu iru da!" Keerthi yelled. 

I walked up the stairs, ignoring the bouncers and shocked expressions of almost my whole college. 

"Enna, ena kuda ula vida matinga nu kelvi paten?" I said crossing my arms. 

"Acho... Apdi illa thangam... na princi kuda una pathi pesitu irunthen, athunala than... Teacher kum parent kum meeting nadaka mothu varuviya?" My Dad asked. 

"Eppo pathalum ennathayo karnam soli samalchiduva, Po pa, pesatha..." I said. Everyoe were mumbling and talking something, obviously mostly about me. 

He cleared his throat a bit loud and everyone shushed down. 

"Enakaga intha veyil la nikura elarkum thanks. Edhuku unga kuda padikira Aniha Arjun mattum en kuda ninu enna thititu iruka nu neenga yoschitu irukinga na, na Most Eligible Bachelor of India va irunthalum, I adopted her when I was 25, en, edhuku lam oru periya kathai, athu na ippo solala. Ippothiku unga doubt aa thirka solren, ippo varaikum unga kuda padicha Aniha Arjun, is Aniha Arjun Aditya"

Then once again murmers, whispers, talks went through, as we went down the stairs. I made my way to my class before leaving.

"Adiye solave illa!" All my classmates except my friends shouted.

"Solra nelamai laya iruken... Inom oru 5-10 months, or even one year ku na Vara matten, so ungaluku kaga sums poda, tax calculation pana, bio la thoonguravana teacher ku theriyama elupa iruka matten,  neengale pathukonga, ok? Ok varen bye en thanga classmates avargalee"

All of them hugged me and my friends hugged me tightest. They all said they'd miss me and my atrocities and help I always openly offer.

"Poitu varennn byeee" I said as I walked away to the exit.
