Patching up…………

Aaj ka din bahut interesting hone wala tha. Soch raha tha, Karthik ne Kinjal se baat ki hogi? How will Simmy respond about our last night talks, What will be the future of our friendship?? Will Mehta sir forgive me?? Ehh.. My mind is continuously asking me questions about some of my past days I have spent with Simmy and all my friends. Those were among some of the best days of my life. Main Vaibhav ke ghar pahucha usko pick karne,, he was waiting for me outside his house,,

Usne gusse me pucha-“Yar tu jaldi kyo nahi utth ta.. roz late karata hai.”

Me-“Yar kal se pakka time pe” *Yeh toh mujhe bhi pata tha kal kabhi nahi aata..*

I raced up my bike and tried to move as quickly as possible.

College pahuchne par maine Vaibhav ko class me bheja aur main Mehta Sir ke room me pahuch gaya. Bahar baithe peon se pucha-“Aaj mood kaisa hai sir ka”

He said-“mast hai mast… aaj nayi car le kar aaye hai.”

*Ahh that was a golden opportunity for me*

I entered the room and greeted him. He looked at me and without responding, he moved towards his book shelf. Ek book bahar ikalte hue unhone kaha-“Now what you want from me”

Me-“Nothing Sir, I just came here to congratulate you for your new car.”

Mehta Sir-“Who told you about that?”

Me-“Sir,, everybody is talking about your car only, it really looks beautiful.” *Buttering is the best way to get your teacher convinced*

He looked at me and said-“Oh really!! Thank you!!”

Me-“My pleasure Sir. So, when you will me taking our class today?”

Sir-“Yesterday I have told you na, that now I will not be taking your class.”

Me-“Please sir,, please don’t do that. It is question of our future, I think you are the best faculty available in college to teach this subject, please sir, I am really sorry about the tomorrow’s incident, please sir, forgive me.”  *Ahh.. I am relly good at buttering… Marks ke liye kya-kya karna padta hai.. and I think emotional drama will be the best option to save my life.*

Sir-“Ok, ok!! Don’t be so emotional,, today I am busy, but from tomorrow I will take your regular class. Now go in your class and study well, and never ever behave with your teacher like you have done in yesterday’s class.”

Me-“Thank you very much sir, I make you sure that there will be no more complains from my side.”

*Delighted* Ab jyada der sir ke room me rukna thik nahi tha.. main jaldi se room se bahar aa gaya,, aur class ki aur chal diya. Maine already first lecture miss kar diya tha.

*Mission one completed. Two more to go*

I entered into my classroom, sabhi meri tarf hi dekh rahe the, maine kisi ko kuch nahi bataya, Nishit

Stood up and said-“Ab Chemistry kya tu padhayega humko?” Main Nishit ke pass ja ke khada ho gaya,, Vaibhav aur Karthik bhi mere saath aa kar khade ho gaye.” Nishit ne apne aas pass dekha, who akela tha. I looked into his eyes and said-“Better you mind your own business,, aur rahi baat chemistry ki toh who toh Mehta Sir hi padhayenge.” All looked at me with surprise. I turned my face towards whole class and announced-“Yes guyz!! Mehta sir is ready to take our class,, panga solve ho gaya, but aaj who thode busy hai isliye aaj unki class nahi hogi.”

All rejoiced and clapped for that news.

*Sabhi ko pata tha Mehta sir hamare future ke liye kitne important the, aur unki class se ek din ki chutti.. Wah bhai wah….*

Main apne group ke pass pahucha,, sab kuch normal lag raha tha, sbahi apas me baat kar rahe the aur class na hone ki khushiya mana rahe the. Kinjal and Karthik were also there aur dono hi ab normal dikh rahe the. Simmy as usual apne mobile ke saath busy thi, Sameer last class ke notes copy kar raha tha, vaibhav aur Karthik class me baithe items scan kar rahe the, Megha, Priyanka apni gossip me lage hue the.

Vaibhav-“Aacha toh tu sidha Mehta sir ke room me gaya tha”

I nodded.

I told Karthik to come out with me, kahi chalna hai.. we both moved out of the class.. Vaibhav aur Sameer bhi hamare peeche-peeche aa gaye. Hum sabhi Pool side pe pahuche.

I asked Karthik-“tune Kinjal se baat kari.. is everything fine now.”

Karthik-“Yeh!! Everything is normal now, Aur baat toh humne bahut lambi kari thi, who kabhi fursat me bataunga, but ha ab sab kuch normal hai, and please ab sabhi se request hai ki is topic ke bare me koi baat na kare, main usko ab aur tension nahi dena chahta. Who waise bhi saare matter ko le kar bahut tension me hai,,” *Insaan apne chahne walo ki care karna nahi chod sakta*

We all nodded and moved back to our class.

*Mission two complete.. 1 more to go…*

Hum sabhi saath me class me pahuche. Physics ki class start ho chuki thi. But still it was not too late, hum class me enter ho gaye, aur hamari favorite last bench par ja ke baith gaye,, Main Simmy ke just peeche wali bench par baitha hua tha..*mera abhi bhi ek aur kaam baki tha,, so padhne ka toh sawal hi nahi utth ta* I messaged Simmy with a confused smiley. She messaged me back-“Kya hua,, kya chahiye,, log raat me toh so jate hai aur phir class me padhne bhi nahi dete” She turned back and gave me a bad look. Sameer noticed that and asked me-“what?” I told him to ignore her and concentrate in the class. I replied her with a sad smiley, but she ignored it. Aur koi kaam na hote hue,, akhir mujhe physics hi padhni padi.

Aaj ki classes over ho gayi thi,, aur hamare boring practical ne vaise bhi humko bahut pareshan kiya tha. Sabhi ghar jane ko taiyaar the. Main apni lab se bahar nikla toh samne wali lab ke bahar Simmy dikhai di. Main jaldi se Simmy ke pass pahuch gaya.. I just tried to grab her attention but she ignored me and keep herself busy in typing sms..

I said-“Hey! Is this phone is that important for you” and I took away the phone from her hands.

She tried to stop me-“hey!! Give back my phone,, people are too busy to type a line. They just want to sleep, they do not care that someone is waiting for their reply.” *Oh.. toh ab matter samajh aaya.. yeh ka raat ka gussa tha jo ahhi tak thanda nahi hua tha.*

I said-“Sorry yar,, kya karta,, I was a bit tired last night,, neend aa gayi.”

She said-“Its ok! Just give my phone back.. I need to go home now, we wil talk later.”

I tried to stop her but tab tak waha Kinjal aur Priyanka bhi aa gaye, so I stoped myself being so emotional and moved with them to parking.

*Mission three.. still to be completed..*

It was a day with mixed feelings for me. I buttered my teacher to forgive me, saved the future of chemistry of my classmates, and seriously attended a class of physics, happy with the patch up of Karthik and Kinjal. I was happy that my 2 mission out of the three are accomplished, but still there is one more to be achieved. Simmy se aache se baat nahi ho payi. Ghar pahuch kar main raat hone ka intazar kar raha tha… mujhe Simmy se baat jo karni thi…..
