Chapter FOUR

Volume is on high, bang of the beat is forcing me to move my legs, match to that beat, it is power western beat, I was standing near drink counter, looking at crowd, how they are dancing, they are like crazy people all joined at one place, jumping to the same beat, matching their foot step to DJ beat.

Jahnavi along with our classmate reached to club party, Sai was in restroom. They both ladies came to me, Viki she is Ms. Meera Sharma, Said Jahnavi.

Meera to me : Hello!

Hello Meera! Replied in very humble manner.

How is everything going on ? I asked to Meera, Yes, probable fine, except long car journey's these days.

Car journey's? I kept a weird face!

Yes, from house to college and back again. Driving alone is bit hard.

Then hire a driver then, I Said.

No no, I'm changing my journey media to train from next commencement college day.

By the way where is your friend, I mean where is Shiva Sai? Meera asked me. He is in restroom, wait I will dial up him.

I started dialling to Sai in the mean while they both ordered their drinks.

He is as crazy as he is good. He became very crazy that he can't control his body resisting from dancing at that DJ music.

He came near us by jumping to that beat, shouting and humming some western lyric which is exactly in sync with that DJ beat.

Yo bro, wassup? Why do you dialled me?

Look who are here. Sai turned towards them, hey Hi, Said to both Jahnavi and Meera.

Hey, what are you doing over there? Asked Jahnavi. Nothing just had one shot and dancing on beat.

Jahnavi came close to him, kept her arm over his shoulder. Resting on him and asked, Sai did you talked with Meera! Jahnavi kept her face in very teasing manner.

No, I will, replied Sai.

Sai feeling shy inside, But started conversation with you look beautiful without specs, like a charm. When you wear specs you look very traditional which even kills some many boys.

Thank you, replied Meera, with a smile on her face.

Apparently got a call from home, excuse me I Said to all and got a side where sound is very low.

I picked up call, "Viki kaha hoo?" Where are you Viki, It's momma over phone, "Yes maa, thoda friends key saat bahar ayahoon, kuch kaam hey kya?" yes mom, I am with friends out there, any emergency? I asked mom.

"Haan beta, zaldi ghar ana thoda kaam hey"yes my son, come fast as soon as possible, she Said.

"Theek hai adha ghanta mai ajjaunga" Ok mom, I will be there in 30, I replied over phone and disconnected it.

I went back to counter, I didn't found my friends over there, I started searching for them.

Later on searching in a dancing group I found them, I Said, "I have to leave, it is an urgent call from mom to Sai".

Okay. Drive safe, replied Sai.

I was on my bed, covered body with thick woolen blanket. Door is shut and air blower on the top of roof is set at low rpm.

Tak tak tak...

Someone is knocking my door, I Said come in. Door is locked from inside, unlock it, momma is shouting from another side.

Momma I'm coming wait, I get off my bed, unlocked door. Still in semi sleep, covering my ears, head and my body with blanket exceptional to my face.

Momma, take this coffee and get ready fast, your friend is waiting for you.

Ok, mom, send that stupid up.

She uncovered me by taking off my blanket, mom please, I need some sleep.

Sai, come to Viki's room my son. Mom passed intimating Sai to visit my room.

She sided me, found lot of books on floor, over the bed and over desk. What the hell is this? Can't you maintain your cabin properly momma shouted at me.

Nothing like that mom, Sai entered saw that scattered books and turned his looks at me. Vigorously looking at me, what the mess is this? You read all those over night, his brain is chocked for a moment looking at those books.

I was in the bathroom, taking my shower. While I soaped my face, rubbing in the process, I opened my eyes, it was burning but when I looked my palm it is all filled with blooded foam. I got panicked, rubbed my eyes again opened to look at my palm it is quite normal. My eyes still burning. I started to think what is going on. Anything vivid with me or else I'm going crazy.

Sai started knocking bathroom door. I showered it off and came out.

Dressed up quite decent. Come fast, food is hot, have it before it gets cool, momma shouted at us.

Okay mom, we are coming for breakfast.

I sat on couch switched on TV, tuned to one of the music channel.

Momma bought four idle's for each. It is still expelling steam out. Famous song and one my favourite artist Shreya Ghoshal's unplugged version is being tuned in it.

We both listing to it, I asked mom, where is dad, is he out? Yes, he gotta sudden work so left asap when he got a call. We both done with it and left home.

I was an average student, excelled in technological geeks. Whether it could be seminar, any public speeches, any tech competitions etc I used to be active.

As we entered in the class, it was mechanics class, I'm trying to put my whole effort in it.

Sai is busy with phone, I tried my level best but fallen a sleep. He woken up me after completion of class that to for having lunch.

Jahnavi sat beside me, I got my food, it is veggie pulav. She too got some chicken stacks.

Every one of us having their food, Jahnavi suddenly took my spoon from my hand and ate some from mine. I was shocked that why she took my spoon that too which I have already used and kept it in my mouth.

She is not bothering about me, I kept on glancing her. She looked back and waved her eyebrows. What ? She asked. Nothing I replied.

After that she went to Sai and even did same. I thought she is very friendly in nature.

She don not care about my looks and feelings, keep on ignoring me.
