The Useless Efforts….. Part 4

Next morning was the judgment day for all. It was day for closing ceremony and result declaration. We all woke up early as we have to assemble at the open garden situated at the center of the college. It was the tradition of the University to have morning prayers before beginning of everyday office work. We all boys were all set occupying our seats at the venue and the girls also joined us after five minutes. We all were wearing our college uniform and that was a moment of pride for all of us.

After morning prayers we all moved to the college mess for breakfast. Breakfast ke time sabhi chup baithe hue the.

Sameer-“Kya hua neend nahi khuli kya sab ki?”

Shruthi-“Yar,, pata nahi kya hoga,, itni mehnat kari hai, prize milega ya nahi.”

Sameer-“ Are tension kyo le rahe ho,, waise bhi jyada important performance dena tha, who hum ne kar diya hai, ab baki kaam judges pe chod do”

We all nodded.

We finished our breakfast quickly and got back to our rooms for getting ready for prize distribution ceremony.

Auditorium ko kisi mahal ki tarah sajaya gaya tha… phir ke kuch state ministers ko bulaya gaya tha prize distribute karne ko. *Hamare desh ke Politicians ka favorite kaam hai functions me chief guest ban ne ka. *  Finally ceremony start hui,, kuch boring speeches ke baad prize distribution start hua. Dheere dheere sabhi events ke winners ke naam announce hone lage.

And now it is time to announce winner of Poster making.. and the winner is…. The participant from Udaipur..yes it is Miss Priyanka. We all got happy and congratulated Priyanka for the success. It was really a great feeling watching your friend getting the first prize.

She was so happy after getting the prize. Now all of us waited for the next announcement. It was result of Debate competition.. aur wahi hua jiska shaq tha Vaibhav ka kahi naam nahi tha..

Me-“Koi nahi yar.. better luck next time,, atleast you have tried your best.”

Vaibhav-“Are main jab waha kuch kar ke hi nahi aaya that oh expect kya karta”

We all burst out laughing.

Prizes for some other events continued distributed in the mean time. Now it was result time for Duet song competition. I looked at Simmy.. She put a thumb up to me.. we both passed smile to each other and looked forward for result.

And now its time for Duet song competition.. 3^rd prize goes to Mr. Rohit and Ms.Versha. *We still have hope* Finally the announcement was made and we grabbed the 2^nd position in the event. I was happy with the decision but Simmy thought it can be much better then this. Usko samjha kar baithaya aur hum final announcement ki wait karne lage.

“And the most awaited result of the day.. last but not the least.. Winner of the dance competition is…. Yes.. any guesses? Yes it is group no.8 The Ocean Waves..” We all were surprised and happy too.. we thought it was good but expect nahi kiya tha ki 1^st prize mil jayega.Kinjal ne Karthik congratulated each other, they thought no one noticed them.. maine aur Megha ne ek doosre ki taraf dekha aur smile kiya. Plan me success dikhai de rahi thi.

That day before leaving to Udaipur we enjoyed a lot in Jaipur and finally hum apni train me the phir se Udaipur aane ke liye. Sabhi bahut khush the but thodi der me bor hone lage.

Sameer- “Truth and dare khelte hai”

Girls tried to ignore him and said-“aise game hum nahi khelte”

Vaibhav-“Isme kya hai yar.. aacha toh game hai,, Full time pass”

And ultimately all agreed to play Truth and Dare. Dheere dheere sabhi ke bare me interesting baatain pata chalne lagi. After one and half hour jab sab bore hone lage tab ek common question set kar diya gaya.. Sabhi ko apni past love life ke bare me batana tha.

Vaibhav-“meri toh goi GF ban ne ko taiyaar hi nahi hai yar.”

*Giggles-Giggles*

Priyanka and Megha said- “we never had BF in past”

Simmy- “Ek ladke ne mujhe propose kiya tha school time me but I refused.. that’s it from my past life”

*Happy- Happy...*

Shruthi-“I am still waithing for the right person”

Me- “I had a GF in my school time but hamara jaldi hi breakup ho gaya tha.. hum ek doosre ke saath adjust nahi kar paye.”

And now Karthik said-“ I never had any GF in past and Kinjal is the 1^st one whom I liked in that way”

*Everyone shocked.. ye jeet ki khushi bol rahi thi ya kuch aur.. humko pata tha yeh baat saamne aayegi..but Karthik ke muh se..wo bhi itna jaldi ye nahi socha tha*

Kinjal (Shocked)-“What,, you love me??”

Karthik-“Yes.. of course.. don’t you love me?? ”*tensed… All eyes on Kinjal*

Kinjal-“No.. damn.. what was all that crap.. I m already committed to some one else.. He is my school friend and I love him so much” *Se said and climbed to her berth in compartment.. Vaibhav compartment se bahar aa gaya…hum sabhi boys bhi uske peeche bahar aa gaye compartment se*

Silence everywhere.. Jis compartment me ab tak jeet ki khusi dikh rahi thi who ab bilkul shant tha.. koi kuch bhi nahi bol raha tha.. sabhi ek doosre ki taraf dekh rahe the aur shayd soch rahe the ye kya ho gaya.. abhi kuch der pehle jo log aas pass wale passengers ko sone nahi de rahe the waha ab koi kuch bhi nahi bol raha tha.. maine Megha ki taraf dekha.. who bhi bahut tensed dikh rahi thi… Kinjal apni blanket le ke uper wali berth me sone chali gayi thi.. Karthik was standing near the gate of compartment… silence everywhere… us raat koi so nahi paya.. kuch samaz nahi aa raha tha.. aisa lag raha tha.. No more hopes now.. I thought it was end of our useless efforts for Karthik and Kinjal………
