तिल गुड़ घ्या आणि गोड गोड बोला (Til gud ghya ani god gog bola)
KARAN POV (continued....)
Location: St. Xaviers College
After the hectic morning lectures we all were sitting in the cafeteria when my thoughts drifted to the morning incidence, I have had many girls after me before as well but Tina, she is the worst of all of them.
I don't mean to disrespect her, but who girl in her right mind would come and sit on a guy's lap in front of the whole canteen and try to kiss the man. And this useless people they would open their camera and zoom it on our faces and then what would follow the next day is a series of news, showing our videos with the headline Rich spoilt child, Rich Playboy, and so on.
Thankfully I had Parth with me that day who helped me in getting rid of her and our friends had already taken care of all those people as well.
"BRO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING", ANKIT my friend shooked me out of my thoughts.
"Are you dreaming about your TINA BABY", PARTH my very own sweet brother teased me.
"I need to get rid of her" I whispered desperately.
"What did she do this time?" Asked Parth his voice filled with concern, long gone was the playful PARTH. Though we are polar opposites of each other in personalities but none can hide the fact that we love and care for each other and he has always been with me, from the very beginning, from sharing our mother's womb, to protecting me from every possible threat, he has and will always be one of my best confidant.
Why not the best? Simply because my best confidant is my ARJUN bhaiya. With him I'm a different person altogether. I have shared my darkest fears and my darkest fantasies with him.
"Bro come back from your TINA dreamland", VIKRAM our friend shouted in my ears.
"Saap toh maine ghar me hi pale rakhe ha!" (I have fed snakes at my hone only) I said accusingly.
"Quit the riddles bro!" Mahir chided in.
I briefed them about the morning incidence and PARTH cursed under his breath and said, "This shit is going too far, it needs to end, now." We all agreed and started thinking, when Vikram asked,"toh hum kya naam rakhege ess mission ka?"(So what name should we give to this mission?)
"'KARAN KI IZZAT KO BACHAO' yeh naam kesa rahega?" (How would 'SAVE KARAN's DIGNITY' sound for the name of the mission?) Asked Rohan almost immediately.
I chocked on my coffee whereas PARTH said, "nai yeh kuch zayda hi straight forward hojayega. Yeh secret mission hai guys, esa direct naam thodi rakh sakte hai mission ka" (No that will be to straight forward. It's a secret mission guys, we can't keep such direct names)
I face palmed myself and said "guys don't yo..."
When I was cut off in between by a screaming VIKRANT, "milgaya mujhe naam milgaya"(got it, I know what name should we give to this mission)
"Kya?" Cheered a very exciting PARTH ( What)
CHIPKALI KO DHUR BHAGAO~
"Whattt" I yelled
"Dekho hum TINA ko kya bulate hai", asked VIKRANT.
"Chipkali" replied Rohan
"Haan toh chipkali ko dhur bhagao perfect"", exclaimed Mihir.
"Guys agar naam decide hogaya ho toh abh hum plan pe dhyaan de?" I said.
"Haan uske liye mere pass ek perfect idea hai", said VIKRAM.
"Kya?" I said getting eager
"Q na hum yeh bolde TINA ko ki you are GAY? Na rahega bas na bajegi basuri"
PARTH chocked on his coffee whilst I shooked my head in disagreement.
"And this was your perfect idea?" VIKRANT taunted his brother.
Incase if you haven't figured it out till now VIKRAM and VIKRANT our both brother's identical twins whilst I and my brother are fraternal twins.
"But on second thoughts this could work", Parth said. I narrowed my eyebrows at him when he continued "only if, it was a bollywood movie and not real life"
I snickered whereas Vikram gave a scornful laugh to his brother.
"At least I tried" mocked Vikram glaring at his brother.
You guys look, 'like a couple staring at each other, drown in love' quoted Mahir.
'More like glaring at each other' I mumbled loud enough to erupt an laughing session
I have a better solution interpreted Rohan putting an end to the brothers' glaring "Why don't you say her that you already have a girlfriend"
"I don't think this will work either" said VIKRANT
"Toh tu hi kuch suggest karde na bhai, baithe baithe sare idea reject kar raha hai", taunted VIKRAM (then why don't you suggest something bro, instead of sitting here and rejecting our ideas)
"Aur jab voh chipkali puchegi ki kon hai girlfriend? Toh hum tujhe hi ladki bana ke introduce karva dege thik hai na?" (And when that lizard will ask who his girlfriend is? Then we will transform you into a girl what say?) Replied VIKRANT.
I nodded my head and said "bat toh sahi hai aur voh Tina jitni dumb dikhti hai utni hai nahi. Voh zarur puchegi kon hai meri girlfriend".
"Haan haan chipkali ko bhaga na hi padega", said Mahir I frowned looking at him whilst he sign me to look behind.
Before I could turn myself and see, Tina came and sat on my lap and began her rant. I was beyond furious now, I have had enough of this nonsense I thought and pushed her out of my lap. I got up and said the first thing that came to my mind, "I already have a girlfriend so back-off"
She looked taken aback before laughing and turned towards her so called friends and said, "dekho (Look) the shy boy KARAN has a girlfriend can you believe it?" And then turning towards me said "Nice try but aaj naa hi 1st APRIL hai aur nahi mera masak karne ka mood so please yeh jokes tum aapne pass hi rakho"
"Aur tumhein esa q lagta hai ki yeh masak kar raha hai?" Asked ANKIT.
She sneer at me before replying, "you think I will believe you. Three years, I know you since three years, you avoid girls like a plague and you want me to believe that you already have a girlfriend."
"There you said it yourself I avoid them because I already have my girl, then why would I be interested in any other random girl." I replied while grinning as I could see her frowning before asking, "kon hai voh? aur mere hote hue ess college mein tumhari girlfriend ban ne ko koi ladki kese ready hue?"
"Dekha" mumbled Vikrant looking at Vikram audible enough only to us. In return he just shrugged his shoulders. While Parth looked at me worriedly and I assured him with my eyes.
Then turning towards Tina I replied, "Aur maine kab kaha ki meri girlfriend yehi College mein hai aur shukar karo ki voh yaha nahi hai, trust me if she sees you like this, the next time I'm sure you will either not have your legs to walk or you wouldn't be in a position to even sit on your bed" I said and smirked as I saw her looking shocked but I guess it was too early for me to celebrate my own victory because the next minute she smirked backed at me and said, "aur kaha hai tumhari yeh girlfriend mein bhi toh dekhu"
I frowned before replying, "voh... voh bahot busy hai tumhari tarah free thodi hai"
"Thikhai toh call karo aur bulao usse" she said smirking.
Parth coughed while looking at me worriedly while I anxiously replied, "maine kaha na voh free nahi hai jo mein jab call karu tab aajayegi usse bahot se kam hote hai."
"Aayegi toh tab na jab tumhari koi girlfriend hogi bhi. Tumhein kya lagta hai ki tum bologe ke tumhari girlfriend hai aur main maan jaugi, jab tak mein khud na dekh lu tab tak mein yeh hi manugi ki tum mere ho, sirf mere",She said while hugging me to closely for my own liking.
(If you will have a girlfriend, then only will she come. Do you take me as a fool to believe you. Untill and unless I don't see her myself, I will continue to believe that you don't have one and so till then you are mine only mine.)
"Get away from me", I said clenching my teeth and tried moving her away from me by holding her arms but instead she pulled me even more closer to herself and hugged me.
I sighed being frustrated from her drama and looked up. When I saw a girl entering the canteen, she had her phone stuck between her ear and shoulder while searching for something in her handbag. She was grinning and smiling while talking on her phone.
Her smile could definitely kill thousands of people, such irresistible it is. She ended her call and walked towards the empty table in the canteen. My eyes following her every move, never leaving her sight. If I get married I would want my wife to be exactly like her, and I had a sudden brainwave.
I pushed Tina away from me and walked towards the girl. Upon reaching, I tilted my head near the crock of her neck and mumbled her a quick sorry as such that to anyone it would seem as if I were kissing her cheek. I then looked at her and she raised her eyebrows at me as in questioning my actions in return I held out my hand to her and whispered "please help me!"
She looked at my stretched out hand before frowning and looking back at me. I showed her my best puppy face and said "please just act."
Hey! I heard the annoying voice 'of the person who thinks she is my girlfriend' just wait till you see what I have in store for you today! I thought with an evil smile and got closer to the girl and gently took her hand and slide my hands underneath her, clasping our hands together and started walking towards them.
"What is going on? And who is she?", Asked Tina, as soon as we reached near them, pulling me towards her.
I removed my hand from her hold and standing beside the girl I held her hand in mine and replied, "vahi jisse tum kabse milna chahti thi" (the one you wanted to meet from so long)
"Matlab" she said frowning.
"Matlab yeh ki.... meet my girlfriend", I said looking at the girl, while she seemed to be perplexed about the whole situation.
I hear coughing, knocking me out of my gaze, and I look over to see ANKIT looking at us with his mouth open, probably in shock.
Well I'm shock myself as I have never been so outgoing to anyone in the first meeting, let alone a girl, and hear I'm introducing a stranger as my girlfriend.
"What? How is this possible?" Tina shrieked.
"Why? Why is it not possible? My brother is a fine man, very much capable of having a girlfriend and this girl over here is the living proof of it." Said Parth comprehending my plan.
"And besides, weren't you the one who was being desperate a few minutes before about meeting his girlfriend, and now when she is here you are asking 'how is this possible!'" said VIKRANT mimicking TINA towards the end. "Sab thik hai na yaha" added VIKRANT pointing at her head.
Listening to which everyone busted out laughing, and by now Tina’s face had turned red, anger clearly visible. She looked at me and said, “I still don’t believe that she is your girlfriend and if you think bringing some random girl and introducing her as your girlfriend will stop me from wanting you, then you are clearly wrong. And besides, you can always breakup.”
"Okay that’s enough TINA CHAUDHARY you said that you would believe KARAN, once he introduces you to his girlfriend and leave him alone. So now when you have met her already, I think you should leave them alone," said an infuriated PARTH.
"Ohh did I? But guess what, I have changed my mind and now I’m not leaving KARAN, until he becomes mine.” She countered back at PARTH and said the latter part while glaring at my ‘supposedly’ girlfriend.
"Do I look like a puppet to you, that you would claim me? Or a new toy your father brought, to play with? For god sake, I am a human being having emotions of my own. AND listen to me carefully I don't feel anything towards you and you can't force your feelings on me either, so take this as my last warning and get out of my sight and dare you cross my path in future ever again." I said and by the end of it I was fuming in anger.
I snapped out of my fury when I heard a 'hiss' sound, only to realise I had hurt the girl. While speaking, I held her hand too tightly and as a result my knuckles were pressed deep into her white soft hands, which were now pale and forming a shade of red.
I immediately held her hand and made her sit on the chair nearby and sitting on my knees I took her wounded hand, my nail marks were evident on the skin of her palms,"get the medical kit and ice cubes, fast", I shouted to no one in particular still observing those marks.
It felt like ages had passed but still there was no sign of kit neither the ice but truth to be told, it wasn't even a second that had passed. I was grewing more impatient there, sitting on my knees, by each passing second. I mumbled a sorry to her, knowing this was all my fault. I shouldn't have let that chipkali, get into my nerves and react on her.
Or you could've just kept your Rathore Blood, which is full of anger by default, inside you flowing in your veins where it actually belongs and not bring it out mocked my brain and I for once agreed with him I should've kept my Rathore Anger in check.
And to begin with, I shouldn't have involved her in this drama, but it was too late for me to realize my own mistake.
I looked at her hand, which had now turned red, panicking I did the first thing that crossed mind. Removing my handkerchief from the pocket and grabbing the water bottle kept near the table I emptied the water on the handkerchief and pressed the wet handkerchief on her hands.
She let out a painful moan as the wet handkerchief made contact with her soft hands, 'it will be over soon' I mumbled, before blowing air on her hand.
After dabbing it for two to three more times Ankit was finally here with ice cubes, I took a cube and slowly pressed it near the wound.
"Baby why are you doing this, chodo na ese (leave her) come with me, remember we have a competition to win. Let's practice first in the auditorium and then let's go to the new store near the LV road I have heard Monica's dropping her new collection today it will be so much fun, come on baby leave this girl here or wait I have a better idea for this bitch here, let's take her with us anyways we would need someone to carry our bags and als..",she couldn't complete because the next voice that I heard, was of a very enraged Parth.
"Shutup Just shutup. Shukar manao ki tum ladki ho varna tumhara muh bandh karne keliye doo minute bhi nai lagte mujhe. And didn’t you heard what KARAN said get out of here because clealy you are not needed here. Aapni bachi kuchi iijazat lo aur jao edar se”
“Why? Why should I leave? And let me remind you something this is MY boyfriend’s college, so why should I leave? Jana toh ese chaiye”, she shot back.
Control Karan Control my conscious chided me, by then Mahir arrived with the medical kit, and I started applying the ointment.
"Tum pagal ho yeh toh pata tha, par aandhi bhi ho, yeh aaj pata chala", said Vikrant chuckling and continued "Tumhein dikhai nai deta vaha uski girlfriend baithi hai, fir bhi aapne aap ko KARAN ki girlfriend bata rahi ho." Pointing at her head he then said frust, "yaha pe kuch hai bhi, ki khali pada hai."
And there Rohan busted out laughing, making me chuckle, trust him to laugh at serious situations. I looked up at my girlfriend
'bro aren't you getting your hopes too high'
Scowling at my conscious, I continued tying the band-aid.
'if you have forgotten then let me remind you, she is your fake girlfriend whose name is still not know to us'
Fake or not she is still my Girlfriend and will be always, and Just so you know 'what's in a name?'
You are a gone case
Ignoring the voice in my head, I looked up determined to strike a conversation with her. I cleared my throat trying to gain her attention and that made her look at me and raise her eyebrows.
"Does it hurt?" I murmurbed swallowing the nervous lump down my throat, wondering why am I sweating, in a canteen that is fully air-conditioned. She shooked her head and smiled slightly at me.
"Baby hogaya na abh hum chale."(It's done right can we leave now.) She said while trying to pull me towards her holding my hand.
What a timing! she had to open her mouth just when we were trying to talk to our girlfriend. Can I kill her, please.
I sighed and smiling at her I said 'haan hogaya' she (Tina) grinned but it was replaced soon, as I removed my hand from her hold and said ‘but tumhara nahi hua’ she looked baffled and I continued "etni bejati ke badh bhi tum yaha khadi ho, eska matlab yeh hi hai na ki tumhne apni aur bejati karvani hai. Vesa esa pehali bar ho raha hoga, jaha koi apni bejati keliye etna utavala ho raha hai".
"I would do anything for you, fir yeh bejati (insult) toh bahot choti chich hai baby"
“Filal toh tum bas yaha se chali jao, voh hi bahot badi bat hogi” that came from a very annoyed Mahir.
‘Chali jaugi bas ek bar yeh chali jaye, yaha se bhi aur mere KARAN ki zindagi se bhi, fir mein bhi chali jaugi’ she said glaring at my girlfriend.
‘For god sake voh meri girlfriend hai voh yaha se nahi jayegi, tum jaoge voh bhi abhi, isi waqt’ (For god sake she is my girlfriend, she will not leave from here instead, you will go from here, right now)
"Baby tum eske vajahse mujh par chila rahe ho maine es.."
“Oh shut up tumhare sath jo bhi ho raha hai na voh sab tumhare khud ki vajahse ho raha hai, (whatever is happening with you, it's all because of you) so stop blaming her for it and get lost from here, now. Varna abh mujhe principal sir ko bula na hoga”
‘You…. This is all happening because of you’ she said and before I could register anything she raised her hand to slap her.
