I HAVE MY LIFE TO RESIDE IN YOUR ARMS
Chapter 4
Sanyukta was standing there along with her house students with her left hand on her hip and her mouth chewing few nails from her right hand. Diya scolded her for biting her nails.
Sanyukta ignored it and deeply continued her thoughts about the program presentation on Martha mam their English teacher’s retirement day. They were supposed to present a dramatization and their house was given the topic ‘friendship’.
They belonged to the blue house - Dew drops. It’s been 6 months since her 9th class started. Sanyukta being naturally talented in studies as well as other co-curricular activities won a place in their house and was one of the sure participants of her house. She got 2 besties Apporva and Diya. Apporva belonged to the red house name -Fire balls .The yellow house was called sunshine flowers and finally the white were named misty clouds.
Whether it was sanyukta’s luckiness or unluckiness she had Randhir in the same house as hers. But the good thing was that he never participated much except for the group song where he played guitar and that too only after much compulsion from his peers as well as seniors. So sure they both or more precisely Sanyukta avoided a bad rift from him.
“Hey! I got an idea.” Sanyukta announced and everyone eagerly looked at her face and gave ‘the life saver’ look to her. The announcement about the skit was made suddenly and they were given just a week time for practice. Sketching a story at the first place and then selecting people, characterization, dialogues, costumes etc. etc. etc. were tuff to be done unless you get a story on the very first day of announcement itself.
Sanyukta saved them in this and then she started saying her idea.
The story revolved around the friendship between guy and a girl and how they keep their friendship alive as it undergoes all the twists and turns of the life. The guy in the story was supposed to a guitar player and the girl a singer. The main problem was that their seniors belonging to 10th and 12th were busy with their studying schedule and pre board exams since the board was approaching. So all the responsibilities fell on the 9th and 11th students and their fate took the praise -they didn’t have any guitar player other than Randhir to call upon and sure it was a hard-hitting thing.
“Arre yaar ab hum kya karein?! (What will we do now?) It’s very hard to make Randhir agree to play this character.” Diya let out a big sigh!
“Leave it to me.” Sanyukta said, except a single soul there all the others didn’t feel any difference and asked her to make Randhir agree to this. But that single soul pulled Sanyukta instantly out of the group for confrontation.
“Sanyukta what are you up to?”
“Up to calling Randhir to play the main lead.”
“Matlab as your bestie..?”
“Yeah.. So what’s there in that Diya?”
“You clearly know he won’t accept to play the part.. and that too with you. So how are you going to convince him?”
“Why should I?”
“I’m really not getting you.. Make it straight.” replied her friend.
“Why should I convince him? He himself will come forward and take this role.”
“You little devil.. you already have scratched an idea huh?”
“Yes!” said Sanyukta with her eyes twinkling and she raised her collar.
“Anyways Sanyukta be careful.. You know he hat… I mean he doesn’t like you much.. so..” she pursed her lower lips unable to say anything.
Sanyukta hit her playfully “I’ll take care of myself mam. Now it’s late and let us not miss our maths class.”
……………………~………………..~……………….
Randhir turned back as he heard someone calling out his name. He found her standing there and panting for breathe. He spun back and started to walk towards his cycle stand.
“Can’t you hear me calling your name?” asked Sanyukta after standing in front of his way and off course blocking his way.
“I very well heard it.”
“So why didn’t you stop?”
“I’m not interested to speak with you.”
“Neither am I.”
“So why waste your time here go and spend your time with your Nikhil.”
“First thing he’s not my Nikhil, second I know when to speak with whom, and then the last don’t try to run and escape from me.” She kept folded her arms and looked at him.
He got his face and tone into a color of amazement and enquired “So what brings the princess of -Mumbai, sorry, and Delhi too come here all along by herself and meet this ordinary guy?”
“I have a doubt.”
“Really? Your pea sized brain has dried up huh?”
“Don’t question my skill. I have doubt on yours.”
“Do you really have some matter to speak or is this a blunt reason for you to spend some time with me?”
“You are so proud and prideful about your own self.”
“My exact impression on you.”
“Clear misconception.”
“I don’t pay way for it.”
“Arrogant!!” Sanyukta shouted in frustration.
“You are my boss in that.” Randhir responded coolly.
“Don’t try to deviate me from the topic. I said I have doubt on your capabilities.”
“Regarding??”
“To act with me.”
“Find someone else for this.” he snapped back.
Sanyukta was taken back for a second knowing that he found what she was actually up to. She still didn’t let the faith down and said “I know you can’t equal me.”
“Everyone knows I’m a genius. There’s no need for me to act in your play and prove my abilities,” replied Randhir back.
“But I don’t agree with them.” She paused and he arched his eyebrows. She continued “I don’t agree that you are a born genius or at the slightest a created genius“
Randhir found it hilarious and he asked her “Oh really?? So how would me acting in this play prove that I’m right or make you wrong?”
“Wait! Allow me to complete first. I feel no no “she corrected herself and said “I know very well that you just rattofy (ratta maar or mug – up) everything. I know you can’t use your brain and come up with good dialogues or just do anything by yourself. That’s the reason why you don’t take part in any competition. You fear that your truth will be out.”
“Really I appreciate you for using your brain and coming up with a very fascinating discovery. Thanks for your research on me.”
Randhir took a left step and walked towards his cycle. Sanyukta’s face shone in disappointment, she felt her hope trashed somewhere. She believed she could fuel his ego and make him agree to act but then her plan was a flop.
Randhir after taking two steps twisted back and came in front of her again and said “Get ready to accept your downfall soon.”
“So does that mean you are in?” Sanyukta asked in a not-so-sure voice.
“If you have something up there” he said knocking her forehead “find it yourself.”
“I’m wondering whether you would regret this decision and back up soon.”
“I’m the one you shouldn’t ruffle with. I’m challenging you.” Replied Randhir.
“I’m in, I accept your challenge.” Sanyukta countered back and laughed to herself about how she got him trapped by boosting his ego.
Randhir on the other hand smiled thinking how he would make her regret her decision on challenging him and earning herself a mountain of problems.
Both of them thought the other was stupid and foolish and parted their ways without knowing what fate actually had in store for them.
