"Meet and greet, a common part of our lives. But some greetings becomes specials, some meetings creates a magic, an unexplained magic."

Girl's Hostel Room, Hindu College

Pooja who was sleeping peacefully woke up finally and checked the time rubbing her eyes vigorously. When she realised that she is indeed 2 hours late on the very first day, started cursing her roomies

"Ohh mummy! 11 baj gaye, lag gayi beta teri to aaj acche se. Aaj toh pooja tujhe koi nhi bacha sakta ghar wapas jaane se. Par mere dono roomies yahan nahi hain, matlab woh dono gaye? Pooja tujhe akela chod ke chale gaye dono. 

Naina se toh yahin ummed thi,par Neeksha, woh bhi dagabaz, dhokebaaz nikali. Ekbaar class pahuchane do meri vanilla ice cream with oreo biscuit ki kasam itna sunaungi ki pata chal hi jayega,ki Pooja kis khet ki muli hai. Bhag Pooja bhag, un dono ko sabak sikhane ke liye hi sahi tujhe class mein to  jana hi  pdega ,warna unki jagah tu nau do gyaraah ho jayegi."

Making all sorts of weired faces, almost knocking and falling at every second after ages she got ready for the class continuing with her curses, oblivious that her two roomies waiting for her in their classroom.

Classroom no 8, Hindu College

Naina and Neeksha who were continuously checking their watch and the entrance of their classroom, got irritated by waiting and finally Neeksha whispered to Naina as their class was going

"Naina,yaar yeh ladki kahan reh gayi hain? 2 ghante ho chuke hain, bas ek aur class phir humara lunch time. Pehle din hi iski band bajagi,yeh ladki shuruwaat mein hi apni baraat nikalwayegi college mein sabke saamne."

Naina who was jotting down notes from the lecture again checked her watch then the door and said

"Baraat hi nahi sirf aaj to yeh gayi kaam se. Mujhe to doubt hain ki use entry bhi milegi ya nahi. Pata nahi kha reh gayi hain yeh. Tune theek se to uthaya tha na use? Kahan tha na, ki class hain ya phir woh abhi tak 3 mahino ke effect mein so rahi hain?"

Neeksha sighed heavily and whispered back again

"Paani daal ke utha ke aayi thi behan,wo bhi puri ki puri bucket. Bag, Chai sab rakh ke bol ke aayi thi,ki jaldi se aajaye,Par i guess yeh phir se so gayi hain. Hey Maa Durga! Kake jholale golai? (Hey Maa Durga ,Kisko gaale me daal diya?) Waise Naina pichli classes ka toh pata nahi chalega, to shayad wo bach jayegi."

"Ma'am andhi thodi hain, proxy to laga di hain hum dono ne par agar wo beech class mein agayi toh? Oh shit! gaye kaam se.Behan kaash aaj kuch aur hi mang leti bhagwan se.Wo dekh saamne,Humari maut aa rahi hain, udte huye. Yaha nahi ullu waha dekh, Piche wali corridor mein, dekh window se. Lag gayi beta aaj to shamat aayi pooja ki.Ab to usko bhagwan hi bachaye."

"Aur humari bhi..maa durgaaaa, raksha karo."

Neeksha said looking at the corridor with a "let me cry"look.

Pooja was running towards her classroom without noticing any of the passer by when she bumped into someone and both of them fell on the ground. When Pooja shouted

"Aee! Andhe ho kya? Dikhai nahi deta,Aankhein hain ya button? Dikhai nahi deta hain kya, ki 5 feet 3inch ki ek ladki daudte huye aa rahi hain? Ek toh waise hi itna late ho chuki hun, upar se meri favourite dress mein kachori ki chutney gira di tumne."

But the person's focus with whom pooja bumped into were somewhere else.He after few seconds picked one samosa which fell on the ground due to the clash keeping it on his palm started caressing it.

"Mere samosa,mera pehla pyaar,maaf kar dena yaar mujhse galti se gir gaye tum log , jane anjaane hi sahi tumko ganda kar diya na maine? Aur meri pyaari kachori tum rona bilkul mat, main na tum logo ko aise hi qurbaani ki bali chadne nahi dunga ,main tum dono ko acche se dho ke saaf kar ke phir kha lunga."

If looks could kill someone or if gazing can pierce someone then pooja ,who was still on the floor would have killed that person who was standing right in front of her .

"Oye hello mister! yeh jo bhagwan ne tumhe do ankhein di hai wo kya deepika padukone ke sexy legs aur aliya bhatt ki shoes dekhne ke liye di hain,ya phir inhe saamne dekhne me bhi istemaal karte ho tum? 

Bhagwan ji, yeh ho kya raha hain mere sath subah se? Ek to mere roomies aise se nalayak hain, uper se yeh bewakoof banda mujhe hath deke uthane ki bajay,apne samose, kachori ka matam mana raha hain."

That person shifted his view from his beloved samosa and kachori to pooja and said

"Kyun tumhare hath, pair kam nahi kar rahe  hain,ya phir tum bhi apni yeh football jaise ankhein Shahrukh ki ankhon mein khone mein ya phir uske khyalo mein khone mein hi use karti ho,jo main aake tumko uthau?Khud se uth jaao na.

Aur rahi baat saamne dekh ke chalne ki,to tum khud bhi to dekh ke chal sakti thi na ki saamne se koi massom apne pappi pet ki bhuk mitane ke liye, kuch khaate huye aa rha tha.Aur tum kya jano muh ko aaya hua samosa, kachori jab niche gir jaye to uska dard kya hota hain".

But pooja who was busy in clearing her dress started laughing out loud seeing "I can cry anytime" expression on that person's face. Where as the earth came on a halt for that person. Everything which was moving a second before stands still at a position. He behold the face in front of him.

Soon he was forced to comeback from his thoughts when one of his friends almost jumped on his back and said

"Oye Harshu, tu ab tak yahi jama pada hain, hum sabko to laga tha ki tu ab tak kha pike dakar maar ke class mein aa rha hoga, par yaha to teri mohabaat ka khun kiya hua pada hain, tere pyaare samose ,kachori niche pade huye, tujhko ghurte huye dil mera tod diya Harshu ne bura kyu manu ,usko haq hain ki woh mujh ko khaye ya phir phek de bin khaaye, gaa raha hain."

Pooja who was a silent spectator of their conversation started laughing again but Harshad immediately reverted back to Pooja and said

"You are a fresher right? Pehle to hasna band karo tum samjhiand dekho tum, tumhe to sabak main sikahunga woh bhi aache se. I'll make sure yeh jo kuch bhi hua hainna uske sare paise main, tumse hi wasool krunga, ek ek paai ka. ".

And after saying this he started moving towards his class when pooja said

"Arey,arey samose ke aashiq, tum to bura maan gaye,kum se kum apna naam aur class to bata ke jaao warna paise kya kabutar ke panjo me daal ke bheju main tumhe, kabutar jaa jaa gate huye and yaad rakhna iske paise agar mai tumhe dungi to tum bhi meri biba ki kurti ka bill bharoge samjhe, jiska tumne satyanash kar diya hain na uska 1 1 rupiya tumse hi lungi main."

He turned towards pooja and said

" Harshad,bas itna hi jaan lo wahi kaafi hain tumhare liye, baki kuch jaane ki naa tumhe koi jarurat hain , naa hi koshish bhi karna tum kabhi smjhi."

But Pooja retorted

"Kyun, kya tum koi Most wanted ki list mein, ho jo baaki aur kuch jaane ki jarurat nahi hain??"

Harshad replied

"Kuch aisa hi samjh lo ."

Classroom no .11

Rajveer and Sameera were waiting for Harshad and Alekh, while Sameera was busy in cutting fruits and passing it to Rajveer while putting one slice in her mouth too. Whereas Rajveer was engaged in some thoughts. He was not at all paying any heed to what Sameera was trying to say

"Rajveer pata hain ,yeh jo new batch aaya hain na, sunai de raha hain kaafi promising batch hain. I am very much sure this batch will create a history in this college. Waise tujhe pata hain isi batch me Naina bhi hain. 

Kal toh tune dekha hi tha naa use. Hain na? and sune mein aaya hain ki is baar ki yeh fresher's ke liye shayad college mein koi new system ,rules and kuch unique way bhi dean soch rahe use krna ka taki padhai aur intresting ho sake and freshers uske bare mein bhi.

Rajveer, Rajveer...Tu sunn bhi raha hain main kya bole jaa rahi hu? Rajveerrrrrrr."

But Rajveer without replying her took the knife from the table and started playing stabscotch, moving the knife back and forth. But his focus was not on his fingers his eyes were searching something else.

His inside was burning due to rage. He wants to yell, he wants to cry, he wants to burn everyone alive, he wants to destroy every little thing present in front of him. But he cant. He cant show his weakness. And he will be strong if that means he need to put a mask he will.

He was preparing himself to face the truth. He need to do this for his friends and he will. But before he could bring himself back from his thoughts Alekh came back with Harshad and said

"Haaye mori maiyaa ...halat dhobi ke dhoye huye nichode kapde se bhi buri ho gayi hain ,yeh le Raj aagaya humara Harshu ,corridor mein samoso ke sath gulugulu karne ke baad junior ko 2-4 phek ke, maar ke, acche se pel ke suna ke aaya hain yeh,laa mujhko de Harshu yeh phal ..sabar ka phal meetha aur Harshu ko ghasitne ka phal ekdum muft."

Sameera immediately asked

"Harshu din mein, eid ka chand ban ke kaha gayab ho gaya tha tu? Kab se dhund rahe the tujhe hum sab ? Ek toh yeh gayab tha aur uper se yeh ek aur majnu ki aulad, chaku leke maare jaa rha hain table pe... tab se puche jaa rhi hu par majal hain jo janab  apna muh khole aur muh se yeh kuch bole."

Alekh said to Sameera while filling his mouth with fruits

"Yeh kuch na bolne ka sam aur tu hi bol bolega bhi kya humara Rajveer yeh to ashiqui 3 banane mein pasine baha raha  hain aur yo hain humara Harshu yeh to chalte phirte casting bhi kar aya diljale ki ."

But Harshad could utter only a word "Tara" when Rajveer hearing the name stopped his game looked at Harshad and throw his knife towards the dart which was placed behind Harshad. Everyone hold their breathes as if his move tilted a bit the knife will hit Harshad. But Rajveer without giving any glance left the room leaving the other three in shock.....

Principal's Office,Hindu College

Mr. Abhinav Singhal, dean of Hindu College were busy in his files when a peon entered his room and gave a file to him and said

"Sir, yeh lijiye aapne 1st year fresher's ke batch ki admission files mange the na noorie mam ne dono files aapko dene kahan hain is file mein, sir unke forms hain and yeh dusri file mein sir unke documents and baki sare details hain."

He gestured him to keep the file on his table. After the peon left he took both the files, removed his spectacles to clean it and in the meantime checking the forms.

He picked the file to read it comfortably when three forms fall on the ground as they were not pinned properly. He put his specs back and checked the form thoroughly which left him dumbstruck..

"Yeh teeno yahan phir se? Yeh kaise ho sakta hain? Yeh log phir se yaha matlab jiska darr mujhe aur noorie ko tha wahi hua? Pichle ek saal se jis khuaff mein hum jee rahe the ki shayad wo sab phir se shuru hoga woh shuru hone hi wala hain ? Nahi nahi aisa nahi ho sakta. I need to stop it."

"Andhere ki gehraiyo mein, phase kuch swal hain
Ujale ki tanhaiyo mein ,uljhe kuch alfaaz hain,

Dard yeh banke seene mein dafan hain kisi ke,

Ashk palkon pe yeh banke, jaise saje hain chilman se
Gusaa bhi yahi, nafrat bhi yahi ,ulfat bhi yahi, to kurbat bhi  hain yahi,

Akhir Raaz hai yeh kaisa saa hai jo gehrata jaa rha

Ghane uljhe kaale saayo sa.....

kyu hain,kahan hain, par hain to sahi yeh yahi kahin,
Raaz yeh us ulfat e gunaah ka yaa
Ishq e tabahi ka dafan hain ,har dil me kahi."

Everyone has a secret, everyone has a dark phase which they avoid. But can that secret become a life risk for a group of people? Not for a group but can it become a risk for someone who is not related?

Love, passion, dedication, possesiveness, loyalty are shades of love can this make a person to stay away from his loved ones? Can a person put a mask of hatred to save his partner from danger?
