Episode 2
The first talk
It was not a
normal one. It seemed like violins and guitars were playing around him as she
took each step towards him. It seemed like flowers will blossom and it would
start to rain. But that was not the case and what followed was something
un-expectable.
Divya was soon
joined by a mighty personality. He was a strong built man standing at around
six feet tall. He had huge biceps and he didn’t seem in a good mood. He
approached straight towards Rajwinder and in a heavy voice said to him, “Why
were you staring at her? Do you know her” Rajwinder was now frightened as hell
and was unable to speak a single word. He looked at Divya who was also looking
angry. Suddenly Sushant and Avi joined in and solved the matter by saying that
he was only talking to them and was not staring at the girl. Rajwinder without
making an eye contact with Divya went inside the college to attend their first
class in the college.
They took their
seats inside the class which was already half full with a lot of excited faces
who were looking quite fresh and were quite happy. Avi and Sushant sat together
on the second last desk while Rajwinder sat alone on the last desk.
Suddenly
Rajwinder saw Divya coming inside the class. What the hell was she doing here,
he thought. But as soon as she approached near him the same guitars and violins
started to play again. Sushant and Avi were looking at Rajwinder and his
expressions. She came to Rajwinder and said sorry to him. ”Sorry,I know my
bodyguard is too rude; I am sorry that he frightened you”
She sat next to
Rajwinder.
The teacher
came and started teaching but Rajwinder did not pay any attention to what he
(the teacher) was saying. How can anyone pay attention to an old man when a
beautiful girl is sitting next to you? She also did not seem too much
interested in hearing that man. She then looked at Rajwinder who pretended to
be writing down all the things which the teacher spoke. She said to
Rajwinder,”I know that you are just pretending to note all the things but
actually you were still staring at me”. Rajwinder replied back, ”when an ice
cream loaded with chocolate is present no one even cares to look at the old
stuffed gajar ka halwa”. In the same case when a beautiful girl is sitting next
to you how can anyone focus on what an old man is saying’
Hearing this
answer Divya started laughing. Soon the first lecture ended and Avi and Sushant
also joined them and introduced themselves. “Itni
baatein ho gayi aur tumne abhi tak apna naam bhi nahin bataya” asked Rajwinder
“Divya divya sharma” replied Divya. “Tum
log kafi rich ho kya jo bodyguard lekar ghumte ho kya baat hain miss Divya
Sharma” asked Avi.“Wo actually mere
dad na janakpuri ke bahut bade leader hain to isliye extra protection for me
agar kisi ladke ne mujhe tang kiya ya faltu stare kiya to yeh thoda bhadak jata
hain” saying this she looked at Rajwinder who was still staring at her.
The first movie
Rajwinder and
Divya had become great friends from the day one of the college. They were
sometimes joined in by Avi and Sushant but most of the times it was just the
two of them. Sushant and Avi used to tease Rajwinder a lot by saying those old
famous lines of boys “Ab ladki mil gayi
to bhaiyon ko to lagta hai bhul hi gaya tu”. Both Rajwinder and Divya used
to spend most of their time in college only because outside the college her
black beauty [her body guard] waited for her. Finally her father decided not to
send a bodyguard with her to the college in order to make her more independent.
Divya was very happy with that decision.
That day a new
movie “ek dujhe ke liye” had released. Divya wanted to see that movie so he
asked Rajwinder to go with him. “Wo jo bahar black beauty khada hai agar usko pata lag gaya
to usne mujhe bahut marna hain” said Rajwinder . “That black beauty will now be taking care of
those who mess up with my dad. I am a free bird now and we are going for the
movie without any ifs or buts” said Divya in a naughty tone. “Aur wahan jake hum ek dujhe ke liye ho jayenge kya” said Rajwinder “Should
I call for the black beauty? If my dad gets to know about all this, he will
trap me inside the house” said divya “but unko batana kis ne hain, chal aaj dekh hi lete hain ek dujhe ke
liye”
They took an
auto from their college to go to Regal Cinema located in Connaught Place. They
had to reach the college half an hour before Divya’s driver came back to the
college to pick her up. In the auto they held hands as the auto rushed towards
the busy roads of Delhi. Finally they reached the cinema hall, where Rajwinder
bought tickets and soon they were inside the theatre watching the movie. It was
a movie about Inter-caste love and was quite an emotional one and Rajwinder
actually slept through the movie only to be woken up by Divya’s elbow. Divya
cried for at least an hour watching the intense love between Rati Agnihotri and
Kamala Hassan. But Rajwinder was not interested in watching love stories. After
watching the movie, they both came out hand in hand with each other and took
and auto for the college.
