Medicos Buddies

….

A room with three beds. There were three tables beside each bed with one chair to each. The chairs were used for keeping the piles of clothes. One table was arranged, one haphazard and one was messed up with books thrown here there, some on floor even. It was 9.50 am. One bed was empty and neatly arranged. One bed was empty but the mosquito net was hanging with three ends. The third one was not however empty. That's occupied with its owner who was snoring mildly. The lights were out and curtains on.

''Yaar Abhi uth.'' One boy entered into the room. He threw his bag on bed with hanged mosquito net. He pulled the curtains off and opened the windows.

''Stop it Daya. Curtain laga..'' Abhijeet turned his head to other side.

''Tujhe ward jana hain ki nahi?''

''Tu lectures attend kar ke aya,'' Abhijeet asked sleepily. ''Mere proxy diye tune?''

''Haan mujhe to fees miltey hain har roz tere proxy dene ke.''

''Roz sham ko tere chai ke bill main hi bharta hu haramkhor,'' Abhijeet said.

''Abhijeet ward chal.''

''Mujhe nahi jana..''

''Aj main tujhe lekar ward jaungahi..''

Abhijeet yawned and sat up on his bed.

''Kya baat hain? Etni asani se mankeisey gaya tu?'' Daya was surprised.

''Haematology ke oral hain na aaj?'' Abhijeet asked.

''Haan.. subha maine pada… bohot huge hain yaar. I don't think ki cover kar paunga.''

''Ward miss de de… pad le jakar library mei.''

''Haan keh toh thik raha hain.. par yaar pichle 4 din se nahi gaya ward. Wo register sir toh mar hi dalenge.''

Abhijeet laughed.

''Mujhe dhunta nahi wo khajur?'' Abhijeet said standing up.

''Tu do week se nahi gaya ward Abhi… ab toh puchna bhi band kar diya unhone… tujhe ward final mei pass hona hai ki nahi?''

''Chill dude… usmei abhi bhi bohot time hain..''

''Clinical examinations kon shikhaiga tujhe?'' Daya asked, irritated.

''Topper room mate hain hamara or tu fikar kartey rehta hain..''

''Rajat ne saf mana kar diya hain…. Wo nahi karne wala tera help isbar.''

''Wo toh hamesha yahi bolta hain.''

Abhijeet took his towel, tooth paste and brush and left the room for wash room.

He came back after 10 minutes and find his another roommate sitting with Daya, discussing some topics on haematology.

''Tu sach mei ward jane wala hain aj?'' Rajat asked Abhijeet.

''Mera koi crush nahi beitha hua hain ward mei unlike you .. jisey dekhne ke liye roz roz ward mei jau.''

''Roz roz! Tu last kab ward gaya tha?'' Rajat asked.

''Haan toh kaha na crush nahi beithi rehti mera woha.''

''I don't have crush on Miss Raghini okay.'' Rajat explained.

''Keep saying.''

''Fine. Tu araha hain ward yahi kafi hain.''

''Kisne kaha main ward araha hu! Main nahi jane wala ward. Ekhi examination roz roz dikahtey hain. Main pak gaya yaar.'' Abhijeet said, irritated and put on a T shirt and jeans.

Rajat was looking at his roommate amazed.

''Tu sun raha hai?'' Daya was irritated on Rajat as he wasn't listening to his explanation on Acute Leukemia.

''Tu ye pehenke ward a araha hain? T shirt and Jeans? Nikal denge wo tujhe.'' Rajat said to Abhijeet.

''Who cares?'' Abhijeet shrugged and combed his hair. He applied scent, put on his brown informal shoes and threw some books in his bag. He picked up his apron and hung his bag on his right shoulder.

''Let's go buddy, hit the library.'' Abhijeet said loudly.

''What? Matlab tu ward nahi araha? Or Kya kaha tune? Library?'' Asked Rajat.

Abhijeet nodded, smirking.

''Gotta do a lot of syllabus… I think dropping the ward will be a better idea.'' Daya suggested.

'''Daya!'' Rajat warned.

''C'mon yaar. Tere jeisey brilliant nahi hain ham… ''

''Kaal rat ko ketna kaha maine tum dono ko ki pad lo.. par nahi.. tumlogo ko toh card khelna tha. Ab Ward chorke library jana hain!'' Said Rajat.

'' Tu ja na.. tujhe kisne roka hain?'' said Abhijeet.

Rajat's phone rang interrupting them.

''Haan… what? Sure? Acha thik hain, bye.'' Rajat answered his call.

''Kya hua?'' Daya asked.

''Next lectures cancel ho gain jo ward ke bad hone wale the…''

''Oh Shit! Haan, aj toh orientation hain na new batch ka… sare professors toh auditorium mei honge.'' Daya narrated.

''Tu Library ja raha hain ya larki dekhne?'' Rajat asked Abhijeet suspiciously.

''Exactly! Tabhi main kahu tune kal lagar lagar ke apna apron kyu dhoya… '' Daya commented.

''Wah kya baat! CID mei hona chahiye tha tum do kutto ko.. chal ab haat..'' Abhijeet pushed them and made his way out.

''Arey ruk.. main bhi ata hu,'' said Daya.

''Ward mei toh class hoga nahi main bhi ata hu..'' said Rajat.

Abhijeet stopped abruptly and turned to face his roommates.

''Tu ku aiga?'' He asked Rajat.

''Ku mere ane se kya problem hain tujhe?''

''Ward mei aj wo Ganja Kabeer SLE parane wala hain.. how can you miss it?''

''Tujhe keisey pata? Do haptey se toh ward nahi gaya! Main roz jata hu mujhe hi nahi pata..''

''Tu roz jakar bhi kya ukhad leta hain.. pata toh kuch tujhe hota nahi. Wo Shubham aya tha kaal room me.. wo keh raha tha..''

'' Fek maat.. agar aisa kuch hota toh wo mujhe batata…''

''Phone pe puch le..''

''Mujhe tum kamino ke sath na Anahi nahi hain.. jao, dekhta hu kon pat ti hain tumse..'' Rajat stormed out of the room.

''Chaal..'' Abhijeet smirked at Daya and leaded him outside by holding his shoulders. Daya shook his head disapprovingly.

..

..

Outside the Auditorium Abhjeet and Daya were sitting on stair on the central college statute.

''Rajat ko bhi le atey sath toh usse ajka oral ka demo leletey kuch,'' daya said not looking up from his book.

''Tu kya book kholey beithey hain?'' Abhijeet tried to snatch the book away from him.

''Jane de.. tujhe weisehi sab ata hain.. 15 minutes dekhega or sab kuch ugal ke ajaiga sir ke samne.''

''Arey .. mujhe oral dena hi nahi hain aaj. Tu bhi maat de. Sath mei denge next week. Sir ko main manage kar lunga.''

''Sach? Tu phirse dhoka dega.. next week next week kartey kartey tu exam ke peehle din dilwaiga ye oral.. pata hain mujhe.''

''Arey nahi re.. I promise.''

Daya looked at his buddy suspiciously for a moment then bagged his book.

''Thik hain phir chaltey hain ander. Programme shuru hone wala hain.. need good seats.''

''Tch.. tu chupchap beith yaha. Yaha se sari larkia ander jaigi na.. unhe dekh ke jisey pasand aiga usi ka nam janne jainge na ander introduction speech mei..''

''Good point.'' Daya smirked.

Abhijeet winked and both of them started observing the girls as they made their way inside the auditorium. Daya's phone rang.

''Ye Rajat phone ku kar raha hain mujhe?''

''Acha?''

''Usey bhi bola lu kya? Bola lete hain.''

The phone got disconnected.

''Tu pagal hain kya? Dekh ham tino mei nerd kon hain? Rajat? Larkia padaku larkey ke pagal hotey hain.. tujhe or mujhe bel degi nahi or hamare samnhe hi ake Bhaiya bhiya karegi Rajat ko.. upar se idiot ne Chasma lagana shuru kia hain… Einstein.''

''Einstein chasma kaha laga ta tha?''

''Nahi lagata tha?''

''Nah… matlab, sayad.''

''Chod na hame kya lena dena..'' Both of them laughed.

After half an hour,

''yar sundar larkio ne medical mei ana chod diya kya?'' Abhijeet groaned.

''sahi hain.. yaha akar aging process aggravate karne ka kya faida?'' said Daya who had taken out his book again.

''Baat toh sahi kaha.. or ye sab etne chotey chotey ku hain? Look at that kid over there? Use toh high school mei hona chahiye? Yaha kya kar raha hain? And look at that girl, lag raha hain abhi ro degi. Ham bhi first year mei aise dikhtey the kya?'' Abhijeet was horrified with the idea of them being looking like kids in apron.

''Laptop mei jake first year ke pics dekh lena.. pata chal jaiga.'' Daya said looking into his book.

''Chal yaar yaha se. Bohot dhoop bhi hain.'' Abhijeet stood up.

''Haan chaltey hain..'' Daya stood up too.

''Koi pasand ai tujhe?''

''Tch.. Meri height ki nahi mili yaar koi..''

''Bad luck buddy,'' Abhijeet teased, ''weisey oral ke pehel ketna waqt bacha hain?''

''One hour.''

''Chal class room mei jakar partey hain.. tu demo dena mujhe..''

''Mera abhitaq hua nahi..''

''Arey jo bacha hua hain wo Rajat parwa dega..''

''Jo gusse mei gaya hai wo.. I don't think he will help you.''

They started to walk towards class room.

''Wo hame na kar sakta hain kya? Gussa toh usne part lene ke liye dekhaya.. SLE ka class hai sun ke uska dimag ghum gaya… pura waqt ward mei hi beitha hoga.. class ho ya na ho..'' Abhijeet laughed.

''Acha sun.. Naya hostel complete hone wala hain.. agar students waha shift kar jain.. I mean sayad Rajat..''

''Pagal hain.. wo ku jaiga? Kaminey… wo chala gaya toh lecture mei jana nahi parega hame kabhi bhi.. or notes kon dega hamey..''

''Par agar per room two person allot ho toh..''

''Chahe tu chala ja par Rajat nahi jana chahiye mere room se… I need him to pass the exams. Tu toh bright hain.. acha bacha hain.. you can do it on your own..''

''How selfish..''

Abhijeet laughed.

''Don't worry. Rajat hamey chodke kaha jaiga? Yaad hain na last year bag trunk lekar chala gay tha.. tisrehi din wapas agaya tha..'' said Abhijeet.

They both smiled.

''Acha chal, Iron deficiency anaemia ka Lab findings bol..'' Abhijeet asked Daya as they made their way inside the classroom.
