He rubbed his eyes annoyingly when the alarm buzzed...He slept late and morning came so early!
He got up with pout face and made his way to washroom...he came out after sometime and was getting ready when he got a msg...
"Hey Abhi...yaar main Saif ko airport chodne ja raha hu..usse pehle kuch shopping and seher k sayer karwana h usko...to first classes attend nahi kar sakta...hopefully practice se pehle pouch jayunga...nahi ja paya to tu manage kar lena...I know captain k bina it will create a lot probs but m helpless!chl bye dude!"
He threw the phone to the bed with rage..."Damn it!tu shopping pe ja...seher me ghum...I dont care!mera haal taq pucha nahi..gdmg wish kiya nahi..bas apne baatein bolta gaya...or kya...team...kyu uske bagair maine kabhi sambhala nahi team ko...khud ko hafte me teen din ata nahi hai sare muse sambhalna hota h..bada aya captain!"
His mood was completely off...he was missing Dhruv lot...nd here the prrssre of classes and team...everything was messed up!
He reached the college and to be addition to his irritation he saw the boy sitting on his desk!he directly reached to him and said...
Abhi:Hey...thts my desk ok?yaha mere alava koi nahi baithta...kyuki iss class ka best student main hu...so just get lost!
He set his chasma properly and got up with scared eyes..
Daya(with down head):so...sorry wo koi or bench mila nahi to...
Abhi(thud the table):your sorry my foot!mila nHi matlab?dikhta nahi k last bench hai..udhar jao n baitho...yaha baithne k aukat nahi h tera...DAYANAND!
Daya:Jee wo mere ankho mein parishaniya hai to last bench se dikhne mein dikkat hota h...isliye...main apne gaaon me clg m bhi ase hi baitha karta...tha..wo...
All broke into laughter...
Abhi(laughing):Gaaon!(angry tone)or tumhari gaaon k baat muse mat sunao kyuki yaha meri chalti hain...bada aya gaaon me bathta tha...
He threw the books of him to the floor..n sat on the chair..Daya picked the books...
Abhi saw him still standing..."Ab khade khade muh kya dekh rhe ho...just leave!"
Daya went to the last bench...a drop of tear was glistening in the corner of his eyes...he reminded his village friends and clg...scl everything...it was for him to get far from his soul...
Daya felt so much alone at that time...he missed his old frnds and all so much...he composed himself somehow...the professor entered in class...all stood up to greet him...
Professor : good morning...so before we start our lecture...I will ask some questions from the last lecture...
Abhi (in mind) : ohh no...last lecture me to mai tha hi nahi...ye dhruv ki vajah se...abb sir mujhse koi question na kare to thik hai...warna pure class k samne achi khasi be izzati hoga mera...ohh God!save me plzz...
His thought break by professor's question...
Professor : so who has answer...hmm...yes...Abhijeet... (Abhijeet looked at him...)
Abhi (in cracked tone) : yes...yes...yes sir...
Professor : I want answer Abhijeet...of my question...
Abhi : haan wo...sir mai...question kya tha sir...
professor shook his head...
Professor : Abhijeet for the first time you are so inattentive tht u even didnt listen to question...m very disappointed...please sit sown...nd be attentive... (Abhijeet down his head and sat down...) anyone else?
Daya raised his hand...
Professor : yes..Dayanand right?
Daya : yes sir...
Professor : bolo...
Daya stood up and gave correct answer...all looked at him with amazed including Abhijeet...
Professor : very good Dayanand...u have surely a bright future...well done...
Daya (in smile) : thank u sir...
Abhijeet felt jealous in his heart..."aj pehli baar kisine mera position leliya...tumhe to main yun masal k rakh dunga Mr Dayanand!"
Classes were over and when Abhijeet came out he saw Dhruv standing at the sports court...he waved hand nd Abhi ran to him...
Dhruv:Kya hua yaar?chehra latka hua kyu h?
Abhi sat at the tree side sadly...Dhruv placed hand on his shoulder and said..."arey prblm kya h yar...dekh mood thk kr..practice pe nh to dhyan nh jayga..."
Abhi looked at him angrily..."kya tumhe humesha hi practice ki padhi rehti h...u hv any idea us Dayanand k wajase I wz dumbed!sir ne aj usko sabke samne badhai diya..."u have a great future"..(mimicring)..."
Dhruv smiled..."ohhooo...jealous haa!chl koi nhi...hm all rounder h...class m v..sports m bhi..tu bhi use leke baith gaya...comn...lets do football...wase bhi match h next mahine...sir ne kaha h k ye do mahina hume pura tayari krna h...then team k final selection hoga...although captain main hi banunga...still yaar!chl chl ajaa..."
He patted Abhi's shoulder and moved on...Abhi was watching his way...for the first time he was feeling not very comfortable...he was feeling a bit disturbed...
While playing he was making frequent mistakes...so Dhruv was at all irritated...he took him to a side...
Dhruv(irritated):yaar kya h ye sab?koi pehli baar nh khel rahe ho tum...aise behuda galti...ball bhi pass nh kar rahe ho thkse...Abhi yaar ye ek national level ka competition h jahan humare team ko jana h...aur bhi kayi guna behtar teams h...sabko piche karke hume selected hona hi h...aize to tum le duboge yar humko...
But Abhijeet was standing with downhead...
Dhruv(more irritated..now in a but loud):Abhi m talking to u!(a bit calmly)ok ok..agar nahi khelna to mat khelo but aise hume dubaao mat...I think u need rest so take a break..kal practice kar lena tum...
Abhi looked at him with shocked eyes...he couldnt beilive tht Dhruv is saying like that...is it the same Dhruv?
Dhruv patted his arms..."take care dude!"
And he again involved himself in the team...and started playing...
Abhi was hurt now...he moved from there and went to the empty class...but it was not empty...that disgusting boy was there...writing something in paper...Abhi was irritated...
Abhi:tum yaha kya kar rahe ho?
he looked at him..."kuch nahi jee wo main..."
Abhi sat there on a chair..."jo bhi kar rahe ho kahi or jake karo...muse yaha akele rehna h..."
Daya(pleading tone):aur koi bhi jagah khali nahi hai...main sach bol raha hu...main apko bilkul disturb nahi karunga bas yaha ek kone me hi baitha rahunga...please...
Abhi calmed down a bit..."thik h..."
Daya was again engrossed in writing...Abhi was curious so asked carelessly
Abhi:kya likh rahe ho kabse?
Daya:jee wo idhar book se sare questions copy kar raha hun...collg se nikalte waqt dukan mein book wapas karna h...
Abhi was confused..."wapas karna h?kharide nh kya?"
Daya:nahi wo...is book ka price 1200 hai...or is pehle mahine mein makan maalik ko advance mein hi ye paisa dena padha...isliye book nahi kharid paya..."
Abhi was quite amazed...he never ever experienced the poverty...whenever he needed anything he got...may be its book or the football kit or the latest Iphone...he had no idea what struggle is...
The calm..quite...boring and poor boy Daya taught him for the first time what struggle is...
