HAPPY READING 

****************************************************************************************

The trio headed towards him. Netra looked  confident and sure about what she was going to do while the other two looked confused, following her like lost puppies.

"Oyee, fussa (fresher) hai na tu?",Netra arrogantly asked him

"Nhi ham Nishan...",Nishant took his time turning around to look at her.

His words got stuck in his throat

"Oh sorry ma'am .. ham fusse .. hii hai .. fusse" ,he quickly changed his words ,acting all scared and nervous.

"Nevermind, I require this skeleton.. I'll give you 17K for this .. So deal?", Netra sounded curt and professional.

"Aree ma'am ye koi aam skeleton nhi hai .. Venkat hai ... hamara dost .. dekhiye ye hamse baat bhi karega" , he suddenly pinned the skeleton to the railings.

"Bolo Venkat babu", he spoke sounding almost ridiculous yet funny.

Netra watched him with wide eyes.

"Are you kind of skeletosexual", she commented in disbelief.

"Arre nhi nhi , Venkat hamare dost ka naam hai. College ke chakkr me Bombay aana pada aur woh whi reh gya isilye agle 5 saal ke liye yhi Venkat hai hamare liye.",

he spoke clutching 'Venkat's' hands.

"So do you keep pinning your friends to the wall?",Siya asked holding back her laughter.

"And keep calling them 'babu-baby stuff", Reyansh added, both of them breaking into a series of laugh.

"Aree aree babu toh respect ke liye use krte hai UP me aap log ...."

"I have no interest in knowing your code of conduct and nicknames for a skeleton save it for later. And you two ... can't you stay serious for a while?" Netra remarked , frustration taking the best out of her. 

"Sell this skeleton to me and mind your own business then", Netra finally spoke more like declared. 

"Ma'am that fresher is ready to buy the same skeleton for 20K and we have already made a deal so if you want, go talk to her", Nishant told her the whole scenario.

"hmm ... okay I'll go an talk to her but you better not run" 

"Follow me guys", the trio made their way towards the 'fresher'.

"oye fresher ... I am Netra, 2nd year", Netra spoke a little harshly.

The girl turned around looking at her with a curious gaze. 

"Hi , I am Zarika, 3rdd year", Zarika introduced herself smirking. 

"SORRY MA'AM"

*BEND* 

"SORRY MA'AM" 

*BEND* 

"SORRY MA'AM"

*BEND* 

********************

" ma'am .... hello ma'am , dekho pehle din jeans pehni hai inhone",Nishant remarked from behind , only to receive a glare from the trio. 

"Sorry ma'am"

*bend* 

They quickly made their way out of that gallery.

"That freaking traitor" , Netra spat angrily.

"Aap konsa genuine thi ma'am", they heard Nishant who was standing behind them.

*************************************************************************************

There she was looking flustered, angry, irritated and most importantly defeated. She tried to mess with me, she had to face the consequence. 

She looked beautiful, beautiful like ocean. Her eyes held a pull which was infatuating as well as intimidating.

"There you are ...... so madam saari acting nikal gyi aapki", I teased her. 

The beautiful lady glared at me. Feisty much... not that I mind though. 

"Why did you do that ?"

" I should ask you the same thing", I retorted .

"You don't have to ask or know anything", a girl standing beside her claimed pulling her arm, indicating to step back and leave. 

"Chal Niya .... bekar logo ke muh nhi lagte", the only boy in their group added. 

I glared at him but chose to ignore his comment. 

"Listen guys .. I know what I did was wrong but you were trying to snatch away Venkat from me that too unfairly, so how could have I not done anything" 

" Additionally you pulled a stunt yourself and in return I displayed my acting skills so we are even."

" Isliye meri dosti ka farman kubool kre", I added dramatically forwarding my hand for a handshake. 

The 'Niya' girl looked at my hand and after a few seconds shoved it away ...

"I don't intend to sign any peace treaty with you", She remarked. 

"Rude" , I pouted lightly only to get weird looks from the trio 

"Atleast apna introduction toh de dijiye" .....  

" Why should I?" She dodged my question.

She turned around walking away ... The other two shot me glares before following her.

"Alright , ham aapko Mrs Sharma hi samajh lete hai .... ", I spoke to myself  grinning 

"Dosti toh ham aapse kr ke rhenge , chahe kuch bhi hojaye"

***********************************************************************************************

My mood was sour the whole day. First that senior and then that boy. Those encounters have worn me out.

On our very first day, the first two lectures were free.

We were sitting on the gallery stairs of our campus. Our college's campus was quite spacious with 3 grounds in total. This one was specifically for students regular use. The other two were play area and assembly quadrangle respectively. The weather was cozy, not too sunny nor cloudy. I could here soft chirpings of sparrows. Fragrance of different flowers lingered in the air along with the soft smell of wet grass.

'Peace', it was the exact definition of peace for me 

"WHAT A START", Siya remarked sarcastically, going through her novels pages.

"What are you reading huh?", I snatched away her novel, going through it's description.

"For all the dark romance gurlies.... I don't know what shit are you going through in life, but this book will definitely heal you.

Now turn the page."

*turns*

"Good Girl!"

I pressed my lips together and bit the insides of my cheek to prevent my self from laughing out loud, while on the other hand Siya tried to hide her blushing face from us

" You read dark romance ?", I questioned more like made a statement.

"I ... uhhh, give me that book Niya",Siya snatched away the novel from me and shoved it inside her bag.

"Hey aren't you guys hungry, cause I am .... chalo na canteen chalte hai pleaseeee", Reyansh said, getting up from the ground.

"bhukkad", I and Siya spoke together.

***********************************************************************************************

We were  on our way towards canteen.

"Ab ye canteen hai kaha ... college hai ya bhool bhulaiya"

We were trying to find our way towards canteen. Hardly 45 minutes were left before our class to start.

I felt someone staring at me. I chose to ignore it but after sometime I felt that someone was actually following us.

I abruptly turned behind anddddddddddddddddd

I found no one . 

"What is it Niya",Siya asked her tone concerning as she turned behind to look at the same direction I was looking at.

Reyansh too turned behind.

"Ab kya hogya?", Reyansh said. 

"I think someone is following us", I was still looking for any sign of the 'stalker'.

"KOI TUJHE FOLLOW KYU KAREGA", he mimicked.

"Ho gyi nautanki",Siya slapped his head trying to knock some sense into him. 

"Don't overthink Niya let's go we have limited time with us", Siya said

I was about to turn behind when I spotted someone abruptly hiding behind the wall. I looked closely to find something weird kept near a pot close to the same wall.

I went closet to that area 

AND WHAT I FOUND WAS .............

' A PELVIC GRIDDLE WITH ATTACHED LIMBS' (OF THE SKELETON OBV )

a note was attached to it 

 MAN KARE TOH PAIR TOD DENA BUT MUJHE MAAF KR DO PLS... Aur haa canteen is on the first floor, thankyou bolne ki jaroorat nhi hai ;)

", I smiled looking at it.

"Siya pen diyo", I borrowed a pen from Siya writing a reply on the chit. ... 

I kept the chit inside the pot walking away from their along with Siya and Reyansh. 

Saying that I was happy would be an understatement. When I saw her replying to my note, I felt as if I won the whole world. Am I in love???? 

'Chup hoja saste Sharukh!!', my subconscious mind mocked me.

'huh ham Sharukh nhi Varun jaise lagte hai',I retorted.

Some students stopped, looking at me weirdly .

'DID I SAY IT ALOUD????' uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I smiled sheepishly trying to avoid the second hand embarrassment and walked towards the pot to retrieve the note.

I looked for the chit finally spotting it. I took it out opening it with excitement and anticipation

"FU*K OFF", the note said.

I shook my head keeping the note in my pocket 

'Isse hi pyaar aur ikraar ki nishani samjh kar rakh lete hai filhaal',I thought ready to execute my next move.

The trio was now sitting inside the cafeteria savoring on hot 'samosas' and 'cutting chai'

"What did you write on that note", Siya asked taking a bite of samosa.

I shrugged smiling a little... 

"pauka kauchd aujre luikhs husoa",Reyansh tried to speak, his voice coming out muffled because of the samosa stuffed in his mouth.

"khale phir bol ... we haven't done a course in alien language", Netra remarked sipping her tea, flavors flooding in her mouth as she released a sigh of contentment.

"I mean isne pakka kuch ajeeb likha hoga",he made himself clear and took another bite.

"That's right people", she affirmed his assumptions smirking a little.

"To be honest Niya, the guy seems genuine to me, you shouldn't be too hard on him",Siya said and Reyansh nodded .. his mouth still stuffed.

"I have my purpose Siya. Don't worry", she said picking up her bag ready to exit the canteen.

"tu samjha", Siya asked Reyansh in daze 

"Nahi"

"Mai bhi nhi samjhi"

******************************************************************************************

In the classroom 

They made their way towards the classroom. The class was empty. Students were still about to come. 

"Seems like we are early guys", Netra said ready to take a seat when she noticed a box with her name written on it kept on the very first seat.

A note was attached to it.

"Mai haar maanta hu 'miss. beautiful eyes' I can't give a heart to you but the ribs are all yours", she read the note aloud chuckling to herself. 

Nishant was watching her from outside smiling to himself. 

another small note was kept in the box which read..

"meri dosti ka haath last seat pr hai .. pleaseee accept it", Netra quickly made her way towards the last bench taking out the the clavicle, scapula, humerus, ulna, radius and the wristbones .

(AAPKI AUTHOR BIO STUDENT HAI TOH THODA FLEX TOH BANTA HAI)

Netra shook her head unable to hide the hint of smile appearing on her face.
