Part 5
(Aaj college mein full Bollywood entry!)
Subah 10 baje tuition khatam hui to Shivani ne coffee mug table pe rakha aur boli,
Shivani: “Monu, aaj tere dost aur teri college ki ladkiyan bahut zidd kar rahi hain. Bol rahi hain ‘bhabhi ko le aao, bhabhi ko le aao’. Chal, aaj chalti hoon tere saath college!”
Main chaunk gaya: “Sach mein??”
Shivani (aankh maarte hue): “Haan yaar, tujhe thodi si shaan dikhani hai na apne temporary boyfriend hone ki! Chal ready ho jaa.”
Wo apne room mein gayi aur 20 minute baad nikli to meri aankhein phat gayi.
Black crop top, high-waist ripped jeans, chhota sa silver chain wala belt, baal open aur light red lipstick.
Poora “campus crush” wala look.
Main: “Masi… itna killer kyun ban gayi??”
Shivani (muskurate hue): “Aaj to tera reputation peak pe jana chahiye na!”
Bike pe baithi, aaj usne peeche se meri kamar mein haath daal kar poora hug kar liya (jaise real couple karte hain).
Raste bhar log dekh rahe the.
College gate pe pahunchte hi pura hungama mach gaya.
Amit, Rohan, Vicky, Shubham, aur 8–10 ladkiyan pehle se hi line laga kar khade the.
Gate pe jaise hi hum bike se utre, sabki awaazein ek saath,
“Woaahhhhhhhhh!”
“Bhabhiiiiii!”
“Monu bhai tu to king hai yaar!”
Shivani ne turant mera haath pakda, ungliyan interlock kar di aur sabke saamne boli (zor se, taaki poora corridor sun le),
Shivani: “Haan haan, ye mera boyfriend hai. Ab khush?? Ab chhupana nahi padega Monu ko!”
Sab chillaye. Ladke jal-bhun ke raakh ho rahe the.
Amit (muh latka ke): “Bhai… itni badi cheez chhupa raha tha humse!”
Rohan (acting karta hua): “Mera dil toot gaya aaj…”
Ek senior ladki (Pooja) aayi aur seedha poochh liya,
Pooja: “Bhabhi, sach batao… tum dono ki first kiss kab hui thi??”
Shivani ne mujhe side se dekha, phir bilkul serious face banaya aur boli,
Shivani: “Arre kiss?? Wo to hoti hi rehti hai yaar… roz hoti hai.
Monu apne doston ko batata hi nahi, sharmata bahut hai ye!”
Phir usne acting karte hue mere gaal pe halka sa peck kiya (bas touch kiya, sound kiya), aur boli,
“Jaise abhi kiya… aise hi hoti rehti hai!”
Pura corridor “Oooooooooo” kar utha!
Ladke haath se muh dabakar jal rahe the.
Ladkiyan tashan mein taaliyan baja rahi thi.
Main to wahi sadma laga khada tha.
Actual mein to zindagi mein ek baar bhi kiss nahi hua tha hum dono ka, aur yahan Shivani ne poora Bollywood scene kar diya!
Amit ne mere kandhe pe haath rakha: “Bhai… tu to chhupa rustam nikla!”
Vicky: “Ab to party pakki hai, warna hum sab suicide kar lenge aaj!”
Shivani ne mera haath aur tightly pakda aur sabko bola,
Shivani: “Party to banta hai… reception pe aana sab log. Tab tak chill karo!”
Phir wo mujhe kheench kar canteen ki taraf le gayi.
Canteen pahunchte hi usne chair pe baithte hue zor se hansna shuru kar diya.
Shivani (pet pakad kar): “Dekha?? Tera college aaj se tera ho gaya! Ab tu lifetime legend hai yahan!”
Uske baad bhi log poora din humare peeche-peeche ghumte rahe.
Selfie, selfie, selfie…
Shivani (aankh maarte hue): “Arre temporary girlfriend ka full package hi diya na! Ab tu bhi enjoy kar… kal se log tujhe ‘bhai’ nahi ‘Boss’ bulayenge!”
Phir bike start ki, wo peeche baithi aur boli,
Shivani: “Waise… acting ke liye ek real peck to banta tha na? Ghar pahunch kar practice kar lenge… sirf acting ke liye!”
Main hans pada aur accelerator daba diya.
Aaj college ke bahar nikalte waqt bhi log selfie maang rahe the.
Mera phone notifications se bhar gaya,
Group name badal chuka tha: “Monu Boss Ki Sena”
Aur main soch raha tha…
ye temporary girlfriend wala contract…
ab to lag raha hai lifetime tak chalega!
(To be continued… ab aage ghar pe mummy ka reaction aur “acting practice”!)
*****************************
College se nikalte waqt mera seena garv se chouda tha. Poore raste Shivani ne mujhe peeche se itna tight pakda hua tha ki mujhe bike chalane mein mehnat karni pad rahi thi. Jab hum ghar ke gate par pahunche, to mummy balcony mein khadi thi.
Unhonne humein dekha—Shivani ka wo killer outfit, meri bike ke handle pe latka uska designer bag, aur hum dono ke chehre ki wo shaitani muskurahat.
Jaise hi hum drawing room mein ghuse, mummy ne chai ka cup table pe rakha aur Shivani ko upar se neeche tak dekha.
Mummy: "Wah! Aaj to meri chhoti behen poori heroine ban ke gayi thi. College mein koi hungama hua ki nahi?"
Shivani (Haste hue): "Didi, hungama nahi, bhuchal aa gaya! Aapke bete ki izzat itni badh gayi hai ki ab log ise 'Boss' bula rahe hain. Maine to sabke saamne ise apna boyfriend declare kar diya."
Mummy ne ek gehri saans li aur phir muskura kar boli:
Mummy: "Sahi mein Shivani, jaise kapde pehenkar tu iske saath jati hai aur jaise ek-dusre ka haath pakadte ho... tu sach mein iski masi nahi, iski girlfriend hi lagti hai. Bahar wala kya, koi ghar wala bhi dekh le to dhokha kha jaye!"
Main aur Shivani ek-dusre ko dekh kar zor-zor se hans pade.
Main: "Mummy, aapki behen ne to aaj hadd hi kar di. Sabke saamne bol diya ki hum roz kiss karte hain!"
Mummy ne aankhein badi ki: "Achha? To phir acting poori perfection ke saath chal rahi hai!"
Raat ko dinner ke baad, jab ghar mein sannata ho gaya, main apne room mein baith kar college ke photos dekh raha tha. Tabhi darwaza dheere se khula. Shivani andar aayi, usne abhi bhi wahi jeans pehni thi par upar mera ek purana loose T-shirt daal liya tha.
Shivani: "Kya dekh raha hai Monu babu? Apni 'girlfriend' ki pics?"
Main: "Masi, aaj jo tune college mein kiya na... wo 'kiss' wala dialogue... wo thoda zyada nahi ho gaya tha? Mere dost ab mujhse tips maang rahe hain!"
Shivani bed par mere paas baith gayi. Uske baalon se shampoo ki mehak aa rahi thi. Wo thoda serious hui par uski aankhon mein wahi purani masti thi.
Shivani: "Maine kaha tha na... temporary girlfriend ka full package milega. Aur sun, maine raste mein kya bola tha? Acting ke liye thodi practice zaroori hai..."
Main thoda nervous ho gaya: "Masi, tu mazak kar rahi hai na?"
Shivani ne mere chehre ke paas apna muh laya. Usne dheere se meri shirt ka collar pakda aur meri aankhon mein dekha. Mera dil itni zor se dhadak raha tha ki mujhe laga shayad mummy ko bahar tak sunai de raha hoga.
Shivani (Dheemi awaaz mein): "College mein to sirf acting thi... par tujhe thank you bolna baaki tha, us gift ke liye aur itna achha dost hone ke liye."
Isse pehle ki main kuch samajh pata, usne aage jhuk kar mere lips par ek halki si, nazuk kiss kar di.
Wo sirf ek pal ke liye tha—bilkul soft aur unexpected.
Jab wo peeche hati, to uske gaal gulabi ho chuke the. Main bilkul statue ban gaya tha.
Shivani (Halki muskurahat ke saath): "Ye tha 'Bonus' payment tere 'GF Tax' ka. Ab zyada mat soch, warna sach mein pyaar ho jayega tujhe mujhse!"
Main (Haklaate hue): "Masi... tu... tu pagal hai."
Shivani: "Pagal hoon, tabhi to teri masi hoon! Ab so ja, kal subah 10 baje tuition yaad hai na? Kal integration ka test hai, aur agar fail hua to ye 'girlfriend' bohot maregi tujhe."
Wo hans kar room se nikal gayi, par mere kamre mein uski khushbu aur mere honthon par wo halki si tharahat abhi bhi baaki thi. Maine ceiling ko dekhte hue socha—ye shaadi ka mahina meri zindagi ka sabse yaadgaar waqt banne wala hai.
Agle din jab main utha, to dimaag mein wahi raat wala scene ghum raha tha. Maine socha tha aaj college mein shanti hogi, par jaise hi main niche gaya, maine dekha ki ghar ke bahar ek mehngi gaadi khadi thi.
Shivani ke hone wale pati ka parivaar (Sasural wale) bina bataye milne aa gaye the.
Shivani ne kitchen se nikal kar mujhe dekha, uski aankhon mein thodi ghabrahat thi. Usne dheere se ishara kiya ki ab humein apni "boyfriend-girlfriend" wali acting band karni padegi kyunki "Real" rishtedaar ghar mein hain.
Par kya mere liye ye acting band karna itna aasaan hone wala tha?
