#10--- BEING THE RIGHT PERSON...

[LUNCH BREAK ; 12:30PM; ARJUN'S COLLEGE...]

"Hello! Mr.Arjun. This is Nihal"

"Oh! Hello. I feel very privileged to meet you sir"

"Cut the crap, Where were you sleeping yesterday in the afternoon? Your house? or the coffee shop situated at the junction point?", questioned Nihal.

"So, you start investigating me about where I was and what I did. How about me doing the same. Where have you been since yesterday's afternoon? Were you roaming in the city the whole afternoon?"

"Don't talk about me dude, I was not the one who said that I was sleeping while I was actually having fun with a girl in the cafe", said Nihal

"OH!!! You are talking about that. Fine. But I wasn't the person who was lying about roaming in the city while actually I was busy destroying my friend's love story elsewhere", countered Arjun.

"I went to a movie yesterday in the afternoon along with Mahesh. If u want to get clarified go and ask him, you liar!", Nihal wasn't ready to give up so easily to Arjun.

[MAHESH WAS SUMMONED TO THE BATTLEFIELD...]

Arjun: Dude, like I said, he used the reason of the movie as an excuse to his  wonderful achievement yesterday.

[NIHAL DID NOT EXPECT THIS, AS HE WAS SURE MAHESH OPENED UP EVERYTHING TO ARJUN. HE WAS UNDER FIRE FROM ALL THE CORNERS. HAVING NO CHOICE AT ALL, HE FINALLY SURRENDERED TO ARJUN]

Nihal:OK fine. I accept my defeat. But seriously dude we went to the movie.

Arjun:Who asked you about the movie? Tell me about the other thing you did. I know what happened. But why dude?

Nihal:Fine, this idiot Mahesh told you everything right. Dude, i did not want to ruin your relation with her, man. I just went to request her for her help in my matter.

Arjun:You disclosed about me to her in the process of getting your work done. THATS VERY GOOD. You should always behave like that man. No matter what may happen to the other person, even if the other person is dying, you should be that way. Even if the other person is your best friend, you should benefit from that anyhow. Is that what you say?
Nihal:No man. That was not what I intended to do. I'm sorry Arjun. I wouldn't have  even dreamt about that. Why would I do that to you? Give me an other chance dude, I'll try to make it right.

Arjun:ENOUGH of your theatre work and your bloody acting. THANK YOU very much for everything you did to me. Never mind about that. We'll set it right, we have time, that's no big deal.

Nihal: That's my dude. We'll together set it right very soon.
Mahesh!!! Where are you my friend? I need to talk to you.
[SWEARING MAHESH WITH HIS EYES...]

Mahesh:I have some work at home, Nihal. We'll talk later dude.

Arjun:Dude, now listen to me, the only thing that bothers me about yesterday's incident is that you gave away an important clue to her without me even deciding about her perfectly in my mind.

Nihal: dude, why are you still thinking about that, You don't need to waste your time. She is the best person you could ever find in the whole world and I bet my whole property on it.

Arjun:Come on, Nihal. To find the right person, you should be that right person, I want to be so sure that I won't even take a step back, whatever maybe the consequences of this decision. My sincere advice to you about Neeraja also is this. Don't just do it for passing of time like the previous one. 

Nihal:Sure, this time, I'm serious and I want her badly. Sorry for everything dude, forgive me.

Arjun: Come on !! Nihal , what's going on? Is this a sentimental drama skit you're writing for your upcoming national level skit competition??? Leave all that , man. Past is PAST. We can't change that even if we do penance standing upside down on our head. So yeah, How was the movie yesterday?

Nihal:It was a bit too slow. The screenplay was lagging and these mistakes are generally committed by the debutant directors.But then the plot was created very intelligently.Dude, Who was that chick with you at the cafe yesterday?

Arjun:Who?...ya at the cafe!!... ha.. She is Nazeema Begum, married and settled in Mumbai. She was a friend during my schooling.

Nihal: God!! OH.... She's married??? Dude, she was stunning. Lucky guy the one who married her.

 (MEANWHILE: LUNCH TIME @ SANUSHA MADAM'S CABIN)

Sanusha Mam: Tell me, what would  be your answer if that guy Arjun comes over and proposes you?

Aashritha:I would say , I need time and I seriously need it actually.I need to be more sure about myself before I give any chance to the guy about my feelings. Otherwise there would be a complete misunderstanding, and he  might actually mistake me as someone loving him.That would be an even more headache both to him as well as me.

Sanusha Mam: Good.Be 110% sure about whatever decision you take so that you wont regret afterwards.And also be sure that your decisions don't get influenced by the people around you.

Aashritha: My side is fine, madam. I react only when he comes to me and says that he has feelings for me, otherwise the usual routine shall continue for a longer time. But my worry is about Neeraja and the promise I gave to Nihal to help him out.

Sanusha Mam:That's easy. Arrange a meeting for the both and tell Nihal that you told everything that's needed to be told to Neeraja and its his turn to impress his girl in his own style .Also warn him that she would not react to whatever known matter Nihal told you, cause Neeraja wants to hear everything from his mouth and pretends not knowing about anything. You don't need to say anything to Neeraja, tell her that Nihal is Arjun's friend and he wants to talk to you.

Aashritha: That's a wonderful idea madam.Thank you for advice and your idea. We'll discuss about the preparations for the fest, some other time. Bye, madam. Have to leave now.

Sanusha Mam:OK, then bye. Don't neglect your studies by getting into the middle of all these stuff.
