Chapter 2.

SUMEDH WAS SEARCHING for DVD Players when one caught his eye. It was normal but in the description it said "making your dreams come true". It didn't really made sense but something inside him told him to buy it.

He didn't know why but he bought it. It was quite expencive as well. It said that it was going to deliver it by Saturday. There was plenty of time till then. It was still Sunday.

He was certainly going to invite Rohit, Prajakta and Bandana at his place for watching the movie.
"Sumedh beta! Soo ja, raat bohot ho gayi he, kal subha kar lena order (Sumedh dear! Go to sleep, it is very late, order it tomorrow)" his mom said opening the door of his room.

"Aai mene order kar diya he, ab sone hi wala tha (Mum I ordered it, I was just going to sleep) " he said switching off his laptop and putting it on his desk.

After a bit he said goodnight to his mom and she left. He laid on his bed and with a last glance on the DVD, that was laying on his desk, he closed his eyes and slept.

Next Day... In Classroom

Sumedh, Rohit and Prajakta were sitting on the last row of the classroom. Bandana, as always, was sitting at the first row and was scribbling down as many notes as she could about inequations. 

The teacher was giving a boring lecture on how to solve Inequations and Equations. 

Sumedh was doodling on his maths book. He was drawing the ship of Captain Jack, the Black Pearl, with as much detail as possible.

When he finished shading it he nudged Rohit, who was sitting on his left. He showed his drawing. Rohit smiled and showed me an ok hand. 

"Accha he! (It is amazing!)" He whispered. I nodded. At the same time Prajakta punched his arm.

"Outch!" Sumedh whispered. "Mara kyu be? (Why the heck did you hit me?)" He asked rubbing his upper arm.

"Lesson me dhiyan nhi de rahe the aur mujhse puch rehe ho ki maara kyu? Like seriously? (You aren't paying attention in the lesson and now you are asking me why did I hit you? Like seriously?)" She asked. "Yaar kiska man karega itne boring lesson me dhiyan dene ka? (Buddy, who would pay attention in such a boring lesson?)" He asked back.

"Mr. Mudgalkar, why are you whispering in my class?" The teacher asked suddenly. He stopped dead and glared at the teacher who stopped talking.

"Kuch nhi, Sir... (It's nothing, Sir)" He said in a low voice. "Then tell me how to solve this" He pointed at something on the board. Sumedh looked at it with a confused expression. He did not understand anything due to his lack of attention during the lesson. 

"I don't know Sir..." He said, still in a low voice. "And why is that? I have just explained it to the class" He said and threw the chalk on Sumedh. Fortunately he caught it. He remained quiet until the teacher started shouting.

"Get out of my classroom right now" He shouted at the top of his voice. Sumedh didn't waste time and exited the classroom in anger. 

'How dare that heck of the teacher to throw the chalk on me?! Who does he think he is?!' He thought in anger. His mood changed from light to angry. He wasn't in the mood to deal with any other stupid thing.

He sat in the canteen and waited for the others to come. 

Finally, after what seemed ages, they came and sat on the table. "Let's go and get something Sumu, mujhe bohot bhook laghi he (Let's go and get something Sumedh, I am very hungry)" Rohit said and went to buy food with Sumedh. The girls waited at the table because they had packed lunch.

Sumedh bought pizza and coke; Rohit bought a baguette with cheese and a bottle of water. They both returned with their food and sat with the girls. 

"Sumedh yaar sorry... meri wajha se Sir ne tumhe class se bahar nikal diya (Sumedh I am sorry... because of my fault Sir kicked you out of the classroom)" Prajakta apologized eating her sandwich. 

"Uski toh baat bhi mat karna! Pata nhi kya samajhta he apne apko woh buddha! (Don't even talk about him! He thinks that he is very superior... that old rag!)" Sumedh said angrily. Everyone chuckled, except of Bandana.

"Apko aise nhi kehna chahiye... woh teacher he hamare, hame unko respect deni chahiye (You shouldn't say that... he is our teacher, we should respect him)" Bandana started giving 'gyaan' (wisdom) to Sumedh.

"Respect my foot! Usko toh me ek phooti kaudi na du, aur tum respect ki baat kar rahi ho (I wouldn't give him a damn, and you are talking about giving him respect?)" He said as he took a bite from his pizza slice. Bandana rolled her eyes at him.Sumedh was surprised at how quickly she changed.

"Yaar... life me toh koi maza hi nhi raha (Man... there is no fun in life now)" Prajakta said. "Kyu bhai, ab kya hua? (Why bro? What happened now?)" Sumedh asked finishing his pizza slice.

"No adventures, no fun. No fun, no life!" She simply said eating from her sandwich. "Oh... toh tum chahti ho ki life adventurous ho? (Oh... so you want your life to be adventurous?)" Sumedh asked. She nodded.

"Harry Potter books padna shuru kar do sab kuch accha lagne laghega. You don't know how cool it is to be in another world (Start reading Harry Potter books and everything will be fine)" Rohit said. "Mere pas collection he sabhi books ki, agar chaho to aa jana mere ghar aur me tumhe de dunga (I have the collection of all the books, if you want you can come to my house and I will let you borrow them)" He added.

Prajakta looked at him with a bored look. "Buddy... pehli baat, books tumhe sirf kuch wakt ke liye ek aur dunya me rakhti he aur dusri baat, it's not my type (first thing, books keep you in another world just for some time and second thing, they aren't my type)" she said.

"Whatever... filhal toh mere pas ek offer he (Apparently, I have an offer)" Sumedh said interrupting their conversation.

"Mene ghar pe ek naya DVD player order kiya he aur Aai ne mujhe kal hi ek DVD gift ki he. And guess which film it is? (I ordered a new DVD player and Mom gifted me a DVD. Guess which film?)" He asked with a big smile.

"Shivaay? (*hindi film* Shivaay?)"Bandana asked. "Nope, woh mere pas pehle se hi he (Nope, I already have that one)" He replied. "Oh c'mon... it is Pirates of the Caribbean" Rohit said casually. "Bingo!" Sumedh shouted. 

"Dekha, isko kehte he dosti" (See? This is called friendship) Sumedh said. They gave each other a high-five in the air.

"Toh offer kya he? (So? What's the offer?)" Prajakta asked. "Offer yeh he mohtarma, ke tum sab mere ghar aa sakte ho film dekhne (The offer is, my lady, that you all can come at my place to watch the movie)" He said. "Lekin woh toh hamne kal hi dekhi thi? (But we just saw it yesterday?)" Bandana asked.

"Mate, woh pehli film thi, yeh dusri he (Mate, that one was the first one, this one is the second movie)" Sumedh said drinking coke. "Mene toh sari dekh li he, mast he sabhi. Tum logone nhi dekhi hoghi abhi tak hena? (I already saw all of them, they are really cool. You guys didn't watch them yet, did you?)" He asked. They all shook their heads no. 

"Accha, film ka naam toh bata? (Alright, what's the name of the film?)" Rohit asked. "Film ka naam he: Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (The name is: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)" He replied.
