Chapter 4 (3 Months)

Chapter-4

3-MONTHS !

Finally getting what Arjun always wanted from the beginning the group always used to go out as Milan used to bring his car,they used to roam have fun,and then ended the day with a photo session !!

The classmates started feeling jealous as they were really shock to see such a nice happy group within eight days of college life.Everyday the group of five use to sit all together,gossip together.They never cared to talk to the rest of the classmates,they did not even know their names too.

Gradually when the days started passing by you  start spending more time with the people around you,Reality comes out and one can clearly analyze it

.Arjun still could not get over the obsession with the fact that Shaunaya although liking him said NO for a relationship ! So he started that topic and again tried asking the real matter,After a point of time Shaunaya started feeling irritated and at every alternate day they used to sit quietly even when the group does an outing.

Aaliya tried knowing the real matter so he asked Arjun

“Its just the beginning of the college dude and forming such an Awesome group you two are not talking each other WHY ??” Arjun did not know what to say.So he quietly accpted everything and asked Shaunaya to be friends again.

All such things got repeated once in a week and Aaliya was the only survivor.Their little day to day tiff started affecting the group members.And Arjun for once did not think about carrying this group and the relations for the next 4 years and even more.

Days in the hostel was very ordinary because normally the boys used to be very introvert and they did not like mixing with other people So Arjun concentrated on two things after the college-his gym and to connect with two kinds of people The College mates and the School Mates.School mates were not much available because everyone were busy that none replied to any of the messages sent by him.He felt that he was missing them but it was only he who was feeling the same.

Aakash on the other side was well occupied in his training session and used to connect Arjun once in 2 or 3 days,while his parents Manik and Jyotsana did keep a daily check.Being somehow close to his mother Arjun tried telling some things related to college and the people to his mother.And she on the other hand used to say “Whatever you are doing just don’t rush yourself in.” and his dad would just ask Everything is okay? Did you have your meals regularly on time ? Arjun was really missing his family,knowing that he cannot meet his brother he wanted to go to meet his parents back in his town Ludhiana.Aakash bought the tickets online and Arjun travelled all alone in a very awkward time 4.30 in the morning reaching station and then picking up the train.

But before going home he made the biggest mistake of his life introducing His Friends from hostel of other department  Pranay and Mohit into the group.In his absence Mohit tried on Shaunaya so hard knowing that the guy who let you come in his group is already behind her and she also have feelings for him.The story became much more complicated and Arjun started ignoring Shaunaya knowing that she and Mohit are spending some of the quality time in his absence which they were not. Shaunaya keep sending messages to Arjun “talk to Me ?? Where are you ??” and Arjun would just see and ignore it.Arjun came back from his house after five days.

Time passed and it was the day when Arjun was born,his birthday on Aug. 20,First birthday without his family.He was sad too but excited too ,sad because he was not celebrating his birthday without his parents and excited because it was his first birthday and he was all elated to celebrate it with his new bunch of college friends.But that’s an old saying you expect and always the Unexpected happens.The group was indeed there but there was none to remember and celebrate 20^th Aug. 2013 ,people for formality did wish at night but they did not remember that the night was a part of next day.Coincidentally there was a holiday in the college too.The Facebook posts and the Whats App messages kept him busy all night so he could not sleep obviously it was his birthday.Morning and for the fifth consecutive time it started raining Arjun came out of his room and said to himself “God Again for the fifth time,Really ??”and went out for a stroll in his campus.Meanwhile strolling he was deep into thoughts that how will his birthday go,What would the group planned for him ?And then he answered his question “This birthday will be memorable.!! After the stroll he took bath and went to temple,because there were some things his parents did teach him weather Arjun stays with them or weather he not.He came back and everything was so normal that he did not feel that it was his birthday.It felt like its Just Another Day of his life,some time he spent asking to himself.Went straight to the hostel common room and switched on the television,got emotional and then started talking to himself, “This is what I wanted to happen on my birthday,Its my first birthday without my family but with my college family and this is what I am getting its 5 in the evening and the whole day was spent as it was  a Sunday.He did not know what to do how to react, went straight up to the hostel roof and started sobbing in the corner.Time passed by and it was seven,the whole group Shaunaya,Aaliya,Milan etc did not call whole did not message him and of course the day was about to end and there were no birthday suprises too.Arjun felt totally pissed off on his birthday went to the nearby mall and went straight to Dominoz ordering his favourite Cheese Burst and when the pizza came he said “Happy Birthday Arjun,Happpy Birthday… and started eating with the rolling tears,”.Birthdays are supposedly the best day in one’s life and that best day of Arjun’s life got over not with a happy cheering face but with a guilt and regret that wether he has made right choice of forming a group and living a life that he always wanted from the beginning.And thinking the same thing again and again he slept.

Some days later there were a gap of four days as holidays so all the nearby students thought to go their homes.Arjun did not go as he little afraid as Delhi was under minor terrorism at that point of time.He did forget what happened on his birthday and told Shaunaya that he will go to drop her,Shaunaya felt that he is caring for nothing as she will be all safe so what Delhi is under minor terror.But Arjun was confirmed to his decision and went to drop her to the Bus Stand,making her sit in her bus to Rohtak.And then he felt again something for her;but he surely forget the incident that took place on 20^th Aug.His confusion was increasing day by day and he could not realize what’s best for him.

The Group became just for Namesake and gradually Arjun started cutting off himself from the group activities and started knowing the rest of the classmates.It was indeed a high time that he only knew the names of 9 people out of a class of 24 students and 6 were his group members.

When he started knowing people he encountered with so many faces that he was in a dilemma that such type of people also exist ?Arjun’s role from the group was like Comparing his griefs with other men and then it seems very less…

When Arjun began knowing the other members of his class he came to know that a variety of people are there like a girl Priya who is stinking rich and do all sought of unusual things with an unlimited freedom does not care about her college life,studies all she cares is for herself.People like Deepak,Pradeep,Bharat who are so close with someone and that person does not know that they are actually stabbing that guy from the back by double crossing him.

Time however just used to get pass by with or without the group…

After having this absence of someone in Arjun’s life he could not make up his mind that L.D.I is really the right place for him.Just because there are little differences with some jackasses does not mean that he will question himself weather that place is right or not.Arjun called his mother Jyotsana one noon during the lunch break and started crying and sobbing.He said “Mom L.D.I not the right place for me,the people are so cruel and mean,I don’t know that I could be adjusted here or not.Its very difficult mom…and could not speak more !”His mother on the other side “just said Arjun try doing those things that makes you happy. You are the champ,the next John Cena and you are giving up so early.? Worship your gym,watch movies on television,hear songs,enroll yourself in some kind off activities,do your work properly and systematically.

The next day it was Sep.1 and he got up early at 5.30 in the morning,laced his shoes and went straight to gym to work his ass off.Came back at 9 took bath went to mess took his breakfast and then college,tried to pass the time happily.Maintained a distance from the group as Arjun came to know from Shaunaya that “His dropping me was useless some days before and mentioned that I was a big rown up girl I would have easily gone all by myself.”

Arjun got emotional and really felt that Why all the miseries happen with him ? Why being such a great person he is the one who has to be the sufferer one.After that day he got himself from the group,made his mind completely not communicate with them.He started seeking for some friendship with some other people of college.But in the end Arjun felt that is he so lonely baby that he could not live life all by himself on his own terms ! Arjun again resumed his old routine.5.30 in the morning gym,bath,breakfast,college and then again gym but not on Thursday as WWE RAW used to come from 5-8pm.For once Arjun completely forgot that he used to be the same asshole who used to seek attention by doing anything.In a month he really grew with a lot of differences.He lost 14 kilo grams and came to 82 in just one and a half month,built some muscles and he started feeling that he is really the NEXT BIG THING.He started focusing more on himself than on any other person,month end our fresher party was there.Our seniors !The more you speak about them the less you will come to know about them.The party really could have been wonderful if Arjun would have focus more on himself than concentrating on what other’s are doing.He started talking to a girl of the other section Anamika.And she out of nowhere became the reason of Arjun’s little happiness in the party.Arjun was feeling bounded in the party and everytime tried to seek some other corner and sit thinking why he came to party and all stuff.Because he saw his so called group enjoying a lot by drinking taking hookah.He was stunned to see this.Anamika came to Arjun picked him up and started dancing and told him “Arjun why are you getting upset ? Its your Fresher’s party ? Enjoy These moments wont come back again.!” He made up his mind that he will try being more with her than with them.He clicked hell no. of pics with Anamika and her friends like Rishab,Shriya,Shikha,Anjali,Mehar and somehow party ended but not the day.At the end of the day Shaunaya’s message came to Arjun’s phone “Arjun today I really did not like your behavior.What is this ? We were supposed to be in a group and have fun and all the time you were with that BITCH Anamika.You know I really don’t like her and you were with her because I was drinking or taking hookah,? Its my life  I really wanted to do all this for once.! Please Be mature and grow up.!!”

Arjun was pretty surprised and astonished to see Shaunaya’s message and that too like this.He did not know what all happened after everyone came back to girls hostel.

To this Arjun wrote “Shaunaya Its your life do whatever you want to do.I am not your boyfriend where you have to take permission from me.Since you have your life I have mine.I felt something great would definitely happen but day after day it only got ruined.And who are you to decide who is right or wrong for me.? Anamika or no Anamika Its my life My choice.!!!”

The next day everything felt again so normal.But a surprise took place.Mehar did not leave Arjun for whole day.And Arjun like a fool got easily in the flow of Mehar and told whatever she asked.She tried coming close by asking his rapport with Shaunaya and her group.Now the group became her group.He on the other side trusted her and said what all happened with Shaunya and with the other group members.And for a couple of days Mehar used to be with him All Day.The college hours and after college till 6 pm because after that he has to go to gym.

It was 4^th October.Unexpectedly Arjun’s former group members made a plan to a nearby public park as a picnic.Arjun said NO but then Shaunaya came and made up his mind rather convinced him and he went and enjoyed just like the old days.Evening came they came back to their hostel and Mehar called Arjun and said him to come and meet her immediately at mess.He went and he got to know that just on the entrance Shaunaya,Aaliya,Pranay,Avantika and Mehar are standing and they all one by one started yelling on Arjun.Shaunaya put up a point by saying “Arjun called me that type of girl who can go to drink or take hookah with any boy.” Avantika put up a point that “Arjun called her Shaunaya’s Spoonie as she used to do whatever Shaunaya used to say. Mehar put up a point that “Arjun called her a Slut” ! Poor Arjun had an expression less face because he was not shock he was bewildered to see them saying things like that and the most shocking moment was Pranay supporting them.That guy who Arjun introduced him to HIS group that guy who was his roomate,he ditched him because of some attention he was getting to girls which he should not have been getting because of Arjun.That day Arjun could not speak up and Aaliya in the end just said “We are kicking you out of our group and out of our life.”Speechless Arjun did not do what to say,what to do as he was insulted in front of soo many people.Anamika was standing in front of the scene listening and watching each and everything.Arjun cried back to his room which was no longer his room.

That day crying and weeping he went to room open his bag packed the stuff and changed the room within fifteen minutes with Anirudh.Anirudh helped him but was surprised too that all of a sudden what happened to him which made him to take such decision.He was quite all quite.Put the bags in the room and went straight to the roof and cried with his heart out.He was crying so hard and loud that people on the ground floor could easily listen his voice.He felt that life is over without them how will he survive in the college and thinking this he felt asleep in the windy weather on the roof.

He saw Anamika’s call on his phone,In such a perpetual state of mind he was in dilemma what to do,After three regular calls he picked up.Anamika asked directly to Arjun what happened tell me in detail,and poor Arjun finding her the only support told each and everything related to the discussion that took place.He discussed about Mehar,Shaunaya,Aaliya everyone and told the truth to her and it was just a couple of days Arjun knew her. Arjun while communicating with her on the phone made up his mind that he will suicide. But after their conversation there was one thing to be noticed and that was Arjun finally had a smile.Because he found someone to be the reason for living.
