Chapter 6: THE 'TOP' TROUBLE
RING RING RING RING
I checked the watch and it was 5 minutes past 12. I hurried up to pick up the phone. Somewhere inside my mind I prayed to God that its Naina's call.
"Hello" I said.
"Hello..." a voice of a male answered. All of a sudden I got disappointed and a nano-second later, I got excited that at least someone called me.
"Happy Birthday hero...." he said again.
"Ohh.....Apurv.....Thankyou yaar." I replied. I never expected a call from his side. Now let me tell something about Apurv. Basically, Apurv was my school class-mate. Also, he was my bench-mate from 3rd standard. And what more, he was my best friend. But still, I don't know why I didn't use to share my personal affairs with him. Although, I'd figure out a satisfactory reason for it:
My school life had different dimensions. School was a place where I was a 'hero', mainly because I was good in studies. So I never wanted to tell my school-friends, my problems and to appear like an under-confident boy.
We talked for over 15 minutes. He asked me if I am celebrating my birthday for which I refused. After the call ended, I went to sleep. I was thoroughly satisfied, because at least someone called me up tonight.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
AT TUITION:
I was not at all interested in celebrating my birthday. I guess all parties are more or less the same. People come, eat and go. Thats it. But on the urge of 'Karun and company', I decided to give a mini-treat to them. I called up Karun to escort me to market.
We bought some snacks, colddrinks, icecream etc. and beheaded for tuition. Karun appeared so excited as if he'd got a free subscription of penthouse for a year. Basically, after spending 4 months with him, I'd figure out that Karun was a different kind of boy.
First of all, I noticed he had absolutely no interest in girls which is an expceptional case for a boy. He had his own world and opinion of looking things. I'd never seen him frustrated or tensed. Although, he was a bit irritating sometimes, but nevertheless, he was an appealing boy.
It was nearly dark when we reached tuition. In winters days are short. As soon as I entered room, I experienced three different kinds of smells or better to say 'perfumes', one each from Giya, Rini and Rupal. They were dressed in a way that it was their birthday not mine. I took the farthest seat from the girls.
"Happy Birthday ...!!!!", all of them screamed.
"Thanks." I replied and shook hands with each of them simultaneously flinched my nose. I am not sure, but I guess I had developed an allergy with perfumes.
"So lets start, where's the cake??" Giya said looking at me.
"Ohh god, we forgot to get a cake." Karun howled. I also got surprised how I forgot such an important thing.
"Anyways, doesn't matters....lets open this large coke bottle and sing birthday cheers." Rupal said. I blessed her intelligence. Its not everyday you get to hear such intelligent things from a girl.
So Karun stood up and shook the coke bottle vigorously with his hands in a fashion which reminded me of something I would not like to mention here. But if you've got it, my job is done. He did it in such a way that it got spilled up on all our clothes, walls, floor. I thanked god for Nitu Di was not in here. Otherwise, she would have fired us from here.
Everyone sang the birthday song. And then the so-called 'mini-party' started.
The next half an hour went gossiping about one another. The best thing was that none of us mentioned 'Naina'. I looked at Giya, she was my first-crush. I saw her for the first time on my first day at Nitu Di's tution. Giya was a year senior to me, and thats why I respected her a lot. She was not so-stylish as other girls, but she had a nice toned body radiating a healthy luminescence. Her best feature was her long-long hairs and her mesmerizing eyes.
"Hey Himanshu.....!!!" Rini who was now sitting beside me whispered in my ear as she noticed me staring Giya, "What are you looking at??"
"No na.....nothing."
"Ohhoo....really?? I don't think so." Rini said again with such a tone which reminded me of my mom. She liked to tease me for Giya's name.
I spoke nothing.
She stood up, "Hey friends, I have got one latest news for you people......".
As soon I realised she's gonna tell this to everyone, I reacted instantaneously. I don't know why, but my hand reached her top to hold it and made her sit again. She got annoyed and started to pull my shirt. Others started to laugh.
"Now this is enough...!" I said and stood up. She acted quicker than me and ran outside the room towards the main gate.
"You.!!!! Wait I m coming." I shouted and ran to chase her.
I was at least half-a-metre away from her when I stretched my hand to catch her. More unexpectedly, my hand caught her top again. I don't know how it happened, but due to our momentom, we couldn't control ourselves and hit the main gate and fell down. My hand was still holding her top which I noticed was torn away all round exposing her whole back including her pink-coloured bra.
For a while, I got shocked and stabilised myself to understand the situation. Why such nasty incidents occur to me always?? Rupal, Giya reached to Rini, who by now, appeared totally numb after this. Giya gave her 'dupatta' to cover Rini, while Karun was standing besides me trying to understand and figure out how it happened.
I cursed the 'textile industry' in my mind for manufacturing such a bad-quality fabric which couldn't stand even a minor strain of my hand.
While I was planning a rubbish to file a 'court case' against textile-industry, suddenly, I saw someone approaching me. What worse, it was my mom. I was spellbound and frozen up. I felt like I have gone in 'coma'. I tried to move, but my feets didn't respond.
Before I could react, my mom got the idea of the situation. It had appeared like I have committed a 'rape attempt' against Rini. Giya, Rupal took Rini inside the room while Karun and me were still standing out there to wait for some reaction from my mom's side.
Karun opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, I heard my mom saying:
"COME HERE RIGHT NOW......!!!!"

Chapter 5
"Hello" a voice came, I knew it was Naina.
"Hi Naina, Himanshu here." I said cautiously.
"Hiee Himanshu, How are you? Where you have been?" she said. My experience says whenever a girl asks two or more questions at once, it means she didn't need answers to any of them. Besides, I sensed a bit of uninterestingness in her voice.
"Hey first you tell me, is your mom nearby the phone?" I said. This was the most important question of the conversation.
"No dear, she's in office. You called up at the right time."
"Thank god." I sighed, "So tell me, are you fine? ... I mean, after that day." I asked.
"Ohh!! yeh.. Although mom has become too strict these days." she replied. Her mom was a real villain for sure.
"God, then how'll I meet you?" I exclaimed sounding disappointed.
"Why you have to meet me Mr.?" she replied in a strict tone. I realised she was serious. Obviously, I wasn't expecting such an answer of my question.
"Umm...well..aah...we are friends naa.... and I really enjoy your company." I answered. This was all I managed to say because my mind stops working when I talk to my crushes.
"Listen Himanshu, yes we r friends, but the things have changed now, see.... yes I do like being with you, but...won't it'll be OK if we just .... you know...what I mean..??" she said.
I realised things have messon up by now. I got shocked and stucked to say anything. The game was over for me. Now the only fight was to save a little self-prestige in front of her.
Somehow I managed to end the conversation. Blaahh Blaah.....everything went wrong. She doesn't even want to meet me. Oh God......why it happens to me everytime. Now see, since I've stepped in my teen-age, it never happened to me that a girl liked me ... you know...in that sense.
Yes, I was an above-average and so called 'bright' student, but who cares!! At least girls don't..!
As an average guy in terms of looks, I am used to these sorts of things. I mean what's wrong in it???? Why a so-called 'hot' girl would waste a time with a boy like me? If I were a girl, I would have never dated me.
"FUCK.........!!!" I shouted and banged table. I became numb soo I stood still for a few minutes near the phone and then decided to go for a sleep. I usually do two things when I am very upset or happy:
Firstly, I go for sleep or secondly, I watch some emotional scenes of my favourite movie "Kal Ho Naa Ho." There's one more thing special about "Kal Ho Naa Ho" and that is the name of Preity Zinta in the movie is also 'Naina'.
****************************************************************************
AT TUITION:
I went tuition before time and was upset sitting alone in the room when I realised Rupal has arrived. Although Rupal was a nice and caring friend but she was a PTBS girl and I hated her for this reason. Now you must be wondering what does this 'PTBS' means! Soo PTBS stands for "Pretending To Be Sexy". It was a codeword developed by Karun and me. PTBS is a special 'species' of girls who are not sexy but they 'pretend' to appear like 'sexy' by their dresscode, style, attitude etc.
And sorry to say Rupal was one of them. She was a little more than 5'2" tall and had an average looks. But she used to wear skirts, low-waists, sleeveless etc. in tuition as if she was trying to make us fan of her. Rupal had an attitude of a 'queen' and I think the main reason for this was the long queue of boys lagging behind her. She was damn popular among her school and colony boys.
Girls like Rupal classify boys into two categories: 'Handsome' and 'Non-Handsome'. And their behaviour and attitude towards a boy depends on the category to which the boy belongs.
Hey...now don't make an idea of how she used to treat me?? Even I am alsoconfused about it.
Anyways, lets return to the point. When she entered she was already talking to someone in her cell-phone. She was wearing a skirt (made up of some velvet kind of material), which was well above her knees. She had nice legs but I didn't care. I flinched and went outside the room. But still I could hear her cellphone conversations:
"Soo what can I do???" Rupal said in her as usual PTBS tone, "See Ruchi, I don't care what he has done and tell this to him also."
I guessed this was again a "Boy Case". It happens every week to Rupal. Every now and then, some boy would propose Rupal and after being ignored would create some nuisance to drag the attention of Rupal again. I realised I've started to feel jealous with her. How lucky she was?? At least a million times than me..!
"Hey Himanshu.... what happened?? Why are you standing outside??" Again two questions simultaneously and this time by Rupal whose phone talk was over by now.
"Umm...just thought you are talking something personal..." I replied in a nervous tone.
"Soo what? You are my friend."
"Ohh really..! Thanks." I howled. A PTBS girl as a friend is better than no friend at all.
"Hey you seem a bit upset. What happened??" She asked again. See this is the thing for which I loved Rupal. She was a caring and concerned friend.
"Nothing yaar....just a bit stressed up. Thats it.!" I replied. I didn't want to tell her about the incident and to sound like a loser.
"Really? Are you sure it has nothing to do with Naina???" She spoke again. Now see this thing about girls, they always press your wrong nerve and I still don't know how they locate it so precisely. Soo finally I decided to tell her everything.
In the meantime Rini also entered the room and therefore I had to start the story again from the beginning. And after a few minutes Karun.
"Ohh she's a bitch." Rini uttered as I finished.
"Hey shut up yaar." Rupal howled and placed her hand on her thigh. I looked at her skirt again and became more depressed.
"We must now think what should we do next..?" she said again acting as if she's a space scientist working on some 'alien project' in NASA.
"Nothing." This was Karun's turn, "Absolutely nothing at all."
"What??"
"Yeah, see Himanshu....", he held my hand as if was going to propose me for some gay relationship, "Why you are wasting your time and energy on a girl who consider you unworthy of her?? I guess you should forget her yaar."
"May be you are right." I said. For the first time in my life, Karun's rubbish-sayings seemed important to me.
"And one more thing", he said again, "There exists a life beyond girl-friends which is also enjoyable."
"Yeh, a life of boy-friends." Rini exclaimed. Everyone laughed this time including me.
"Soo before Nitu Di comes lets quickly decide how we are going to celebrate Himanshu's birthday...! It has to be a real special." Karun said.
And after that everyone started to discuss it as if they were going to arrange my marriage not my birthday. Who says, I am not lucky??? I've got such a nice group of friends. I decided that I won't think about Naina again in my life. Although, I was not sure I would be able to do that.
****************************************************************************
THE 'TOP' TROUBLE
Unlike today, I used to sleep before 10 pm those days. But I was awake till 12 midnight on my birthday eve for a slightest possibility of someone calling and wishing me. And finally....the phone rang..
RING RING RING RING
I checked the watch and it was 5 minutes past 12. I hurried up to pick up the phone. Somewhere inside my mind I prayed to God that its Naina's call.
"Hello" I said.
"Hello..." a voice of a male answered. All of a sudden I got disappointed and a nano-second later, I got excited that at least someone called me.
"Happy Birthday hero...." he said again.
"Ohh.....Apurv.....Thankyou yaar.".

Chapter 4 - Twist # 1
TWIST NO. 1:
We reached there in 10 min. Although her home was just 3 kms., but I tried to drove as slow as I can, so that I could enjoy more pleasing moments.
She told me to drop her at Piya's house which was a 100 metre away from her home. As I stopped bike, I saw an aunty coming outside the main gate. She stopped as she saw us. Naina screamed in my ear: "Oh My GOD!!! Mom!!!!!!!!"
My heartbeat stopped at once. Naina's mom saw us together. Oh God!!...I got stucked, while the situation of Naina was even more critical. I think she got frozen up as she continued to clinch my hand. Her mom stood silently 10 ft. away from us as if she's waiting for some reaction from our side.
Finally, I reacted by putting bike into side-stand.
"Naina, come here right now!!!" her mom shouted. Naina followed the instructions. Someone had told me once that when you are in deep shit, keep your mouth shut. So I remained standing there silently.
"Mom, meet my friend Himanshu." she said in a trembling voice. Certainly, I would have liked to be introduced in a better way. At least not like this.
"Yeah, I can see very well. So what were you doing with him?"
"Umm...mom we just went to 10 No. market to purchase books."
"Ohh!! so where's the book?"
"Well... mom..it is out of stock. Bookseller said it'll be in stock again in a month."
"Hmmmmm....." her mother moaned. I was sure she knew we were lying. She approached towards me. I tried to stand as sober as I can.
"Namaste Aunty." I howled trying to sound polite. She didn't replied but stared me as if I am some rapist or something. I hate when people give such nasty expressions to me.
"I can sense some bigger issues here." she said firstly looking towards me and then towards Naina, "See I don't want you to meet again with Naina in future. I think you got my word."
"Aunty, you are getting it wrong." I wailed.
"I don't want to listen anything. It seems this generation is misusing the freedom given to them." she replied in a strict tone. I realised the things are over by now, so I decided to leave.
While on my way, I was just thinking of Naina's. She had still lot much to face from his mom. Why these 'Mummies' have to overprotect their girl. I mean when they were young, had no one asked them ever for a date. Well that's none of my business. Anyways, it was certainly a mixed day. I was wondering whether I'll be able to meet Naina again.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************
AT TUTION:
"Soooooo... what now?" Karun asked. His 'sooooo' was at least 4 seconds long. Besides Rini, Rupal and Giya, Karun was also a coaching mate. The thing that I hated the most about Karun is that he never participates in any discussion, but suddenly starts to ask nasty questions without any previous knowledge of the situation.
"Hey, stop it Karun. How could he know - 'what now'?" Rini replied trying to protect me as if I am some 10 year child.
"Okays, okays...hey Himanshu I've got to ask one last question to you..Please...." he opened his mouth again. His teeth were snow white. Infact everything about Karun was good. He was tall, handsome, had a good physique with nice sense of humour as bonus. In short he was a complete "take me to bed" package for girls. May be that's why I always felt jealous with him.
We reached there in 10 min. Although her home was just 3 kms., but I tried to drove as slow as I can, so that I could enjoy more pleasing moments.
She told me to drop her at Piya's house which was a 100 metre away from her home. As I stopped bike, I saw an aunty coming outside the main gate. She stopped as she saw us. Naina screamed in my ear: "Oh My GOD!!! Mom!!!!!!!!"
My heartbeat stopped at once. Naina's mom saw us together. Oh God!!...I got stucked, while the situation of Naina was even more critical. I think she got frozen up as she continued to clinch my hand. Her mom stood silently 10 ft. away from us as if she's waiting for some reaction from our side.
Finally, I reacted by putting bike into side-stand.
"Naina, come here right now!!!" her mom shouted. Naina followed the instructions. Someone had told me once that when you are in deep shit, keep your mouth shut. So I remained standing there silently.
"Mom, meet my friend Himanshu." she said in a trembling voice. Certainly, I would have liked to be introduced in a better way. At least not like this.
"Yeah, I can see very well. So what were you doing with him?"
"Umm...mom we just went to 10 No. market to purchase books."
"Ohh!! so where's the book?"
"Well... mom..it is out of stock. Bookseller said it'll be in stock again in a month."
"Hmmmmm....." her mother moaned. I was sure she knew we were lying. She approached towards me. I tried to stand as sober as I can.
"Namaste Aunty." I howled trying to sound polite. She didn't replied but stared me as if I am some rapist or something. I hate when people give such nasty expressions to me.
"I can sense some bigger issues here." she said firstly looking towards me and then towards Naina, "See I don't want you to meet again with Naina in future. I think you got my word."
"Aunty, you are getting it wrong." I wailed.
"I don't want to listen anything. It seems this generation is misusing the freedom given to them." she replied in a strict tone. I realised the things are over by now, so I decided to leave.
While on my way, I was just thinking of Naina's. She had still lot much to face from his mom. Why these 'Mummies' have to overprotect their girl. I mean when they were young, had no one asked them ever for a date. Well that's none of my business. Anyways, it was certainly a mixed day. I was wondering whether I'll be able to meet Naina again.

AT TUTION:
"Soooooo... what now?" Karun asked. His 'sooooo' was at least 4 seconds long. Besides Rini, Rupal and Giya, Karun was also a coaching mate. The thing that I hated the most about Karun is that he never participates in any discussion, but suddenly starts to ask nasty questions without any previous knowledge of the situation.
"Hey, stop it Karun. How could he know - 'what now'?" Rini replied trying to protect me as if I am some 10 year child.
"Okays, okays...hey Himanshu I've got to ask one last question to you..Please...." he opened his mouth again. His teeth were snow white. Infact everything about Karun was good. He was tall, handsome, had a good physique with nice sense of humour as bonus. In short he was a complete "take me to bed" package for girls. May be that's why I always felt jealous with him.
There was only one thing common in Karun and me and that was our craziness for IIT and girls...! But still I was jealous..
"Ask." I replied totally uninterested.
"See, you are out of the game, so I was asking for her address & telephone no. soo that I could also try for her once. What do u think?"
"You bastard. Go to hell." I shouted. Everyone laughed at Karun's comment. It was their 'entertainment-topic' of the day. Nitu di who was busy in preparing a test paper for us looked out of her book to see what happened. I assured her everything is fine. At least everything was fine outside.....!

TWO MONTHS LATER:
Its November. Winters have started. I really hate winters for two reasons:
Firstly, days are short in winters. So as soon as you realise, your day is over.
Secondly, in winters, all hot girls stop wearing capris, low waists, sleeveless.
I am more concerned about the second one. Anyways, lets get back to the point. Soo... its November, my birthday month. For the last two months I have never attempted to contact Naina, nor did she. But since my b'day is approaching, my hopes came alive.
I was not sure if Naina knew about my birthday, so I finally decided to pre-inform her about it. Soooo...after collecting a lot of courage, I called her after 2 months on Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday because it was a working day so there was a good chance that her mom was in office and she'll be alone in home.
"Hello" voice came, I knew it was Naina.
"Hi Naina, Himanshu here." I said cautiously.
"Ask." I replied totally uninterested.
"See, you are out of the game, so I was asking for her address & telephone no. soo that I could also try for her once. What do u think?"
