CHAPTER 11: Coincidence ? Maybe or Maybe not

03:53:00 Rameeth 2 Comments

The electricity power outage is common in India but when there’s a power cut in Hostel the whole hostel turns into a jungle book. Different animal sounds from every corner of the hostel, some become a wild cat while others to compete that cat sound maker becomes a dog. You don’t have to visit a zoo just you need to be present at right time in a hostel and you’ll encounter every animal in a hostel. The Hostel had a medical facility for students, a Doctor used to visit the hostel thrice a week. In order to make aware the students about doctor’s arrival guard used to come in every wing of the building and call out “doctor has arrived!” “डॉक्टर आले!!”

104 B and 105B were considered the most mischievous room in the Boys Hostel. Satish also the called the ‘Furious Don of H division’ was always ahead in every action in the hostel. One fine evening during the exam there was a power cut in the hostel and in the darkness Satish used his whole strength to shout “doctor has arrived! Doctor has arrived!” and the whole hostel goes into same singing tune of “doctor has arrived”

The guard on duty was pissed with this sudden madness as he tries to catch every yelling student in the hostel but didn't succeed due to darkness. Satish used to come out of his room and shout in the dark, suddenly the light glows in the hostel and epic scene ‘Shouting Satish Caught’ by the guard was encountered. Similar to the scene from movie “3idots” where Raju was caught Peeing in front of virus’s house in the dark. The angry guard caught Satish by his collar “come on my son let’s go to warden”
Warden summons the whole hostel students especially the 104B and 105B

Warden with his wide belly and high voice came rushing from his room “you scoundrels! … ill kick your ass! … what’s going on here! … act like some grownups! … this is not a mental hospital!”
Hearing this Harsh couldn’t control his laugh and starts giggling.
Warden found Harsh giggling “who is that son of B****?” and went near to Harsh and took his collar in his hand and lifts him from ground “do you think I’m joking here? I’ll punch your face with 50 mg ”
Harsh cowered in fear with warden’s action “Sorry sir!”  
Akki whispers to Ragav “dude what’s 50 mg ?? never heard of such unit”

When it comes to units of measurement during the midnight scolding everything is correct you can’t contradict Warden but just listen to everything that he says.   
Warden “every one of you will write an apology letter saying you will not do thins next time is it clear?!”
Everyone in one note "yes sir”

Returning to the room, Harsh was silent with his face showing fear.
 Akki “what’s the matter harsh”
Ragav ”he just survived 50 mg punch”  and everyone starts laughing including Harsh.
Akki “hey lets go for movie tomorrow …this will freshen up everything..”
Mac “ Duniyadari is the ongoing movie in pvr .. we can go there..”
Ragav “I’m not sure guys want to study for exam…”
Mac “one movie will not destroy your life Ragav!”
Ragav “Hmm ok will tell you tomorrow ”

Life really becomes beautiful when you have best friends around you. you just forget every sorrow when they are around you. Share the sadness with the person beside you, this will always help in positive way. There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Next Morning:
Message popped in Ragavs phone…”hey Handsome what doing??” The heart always skips a beat when you receive a message from your crush.
Ragav “nothing much studying for the exams”
Arya “ohh … did you did the graphics subject…”
Ragav “yes that’s my favourite…”
Arya “crap... I’m fed up with all the lines and figures …”
Ragav “ask me anything anytime ... happy to help...”
Arya “how do understand the concept dude... ??”
Ragav “just you need to visualize every FIGURE and learn how to draw a LINE... :P”
Arya “I think you are expert in visualizing the “Figures” :D”
Ragav “yes.. from day one since I met you... :P”
Arya “anyways... I’m bored lets go somewhere... how about a movie??”
Ragav “hmm ..vokie.. but..”
Arya “what…??”
Ragav “Neva been to a movie with a gal befo :’D ”
Arya “so silly .. I’m not gonna eat you! If you feeling awkward bring your friends ”
Ragav “okkk deal… PVR then…”
Ragav declared that he will accompany with his roommates for the movie at the PVR
Mac “What changed your mind Ragav?”
Akki “I smell something fishy”
Ragav “Guys Lets go ... before I change my mind!”

Everyone reached at the PVR on time still Ragav was searching for Arya in the crowd, then he saw her near the entrance with her friends. She wore a Red top and black jeans with matching red hair band on her head . she looked fabulous and ragav couldn’t take his eyes from her.
Ragav Texted her... “luking like a Barbie Doll J
Arya took her mobile from her pocket and replied with a smile “Hey Mr. I don’t know you right now :P”

At the ticket counter the whole Kolhapur crowd was rushing to get the tickets, luckily Ragav got the seats in the first row in front of Screen. After getting settled in their respective seats everyone was busy in chit chatting about the new movie trailer, Ragav suddenly sensed a pinch on his arms and ignored it thinking as a mosquito bite. And the second time again same pinch same arm “How come Mosquitoes became so intelligent to bite at same place? “
Annoyed with this he turned his face to the person sitting next to his seat and everything came to a  sudden halt . There she was sitting next to him “Arya” and she was saying something to him but he couldn’t hear her voice as everything in this head went quite with this surprise.
Getting right to his senses Ragav “”hmmm.. hmmm.. is this coincidence or am I dreaming ?
Arya “you are dreaming at wrong place...hehehe”
Ragav “My cute star is beside me today...” trying to hide his happiness.  
Aray whispering into his ears “now concentrate on the film dear not your cute star”
AKki “Hey ragav who is she you were talking to?”
Ragav ”she is Arya.. ”
Akki “From where did you learned to talk with a gal?? hahaha”
Ragav “shut up …. Concentrate on the movie”
Three hours’ movie are best time spend in any of the multiplex movie theaters. Especially when you are with someone special. During the movie, Ragav placed his hands on the resting arm side of the seat and accidently touched Arya’s hands. Sensing what he had done apologizes to her.
After returning to hostel he messaged Arya “How was the movie?”
Arya “was good.. enjoyed the story…”
Ragav “btw what was the story?”    
Arya “freak what were you doing during the whole movie?”
Ragav “Watching you!!”
Arya “you are crazy Mr… hehe”
Ragav “I love to see your face. you are beautiful J
Arya “ Thanx Ragav! ”
Ragav “Don’t blush Arya… ”
Arya “How do you know that I’m blushing?”
It was time to break the ice and bring all the feelings in front her, thinking this would be perfect moment to say the truth he typed

“You Hide anything ... I’ll find it… You hide anywhere... I’ll find you… I know your feelings ... I can sense your feelings because I LIKE YOU..” and sent.

Arya “Awww… from when??”
Ragav “since day one I met you !! J
Arya “Hmmmm…”

A "hmmm" is a filler in the texting language and is considered most irritating reply in this century    which could mean a multiple things depending on the situation. “A reply should be proper/understandable, for hmmm sound is made by Bees too”. This leaves multiple vague questions “is she ignoring me?” “does she like me?” “may be she in love with someone else”
Getting the best possibility in mind he typed again  
 Ragav “ but do you like me??”

Arya “Yes…”

This was it. There was no looking back. This gave him a feeling of joy that he had never felt before.
