#8--- A MINE UNDER ARJUN’S FEET...

[A DAY AFTER SOMEONE CAME TO MEET AASHRITHA...]

Knock. . Knock...

"Come in, please"

"Good morning ma'am!” said Aashritha.

"I thought you were supposed to meet me yesterday in the evening, right?” said Sanusha Ma'am.

"For the matter of fact, yes madam. But what happened yesterday was something which could not be ignored either and I felt it was momentous to me at that time"

"The faculty coordinator is Sanusha, so you felt it would not be a big deal and you would have thought you could manage me and all. What if, you were ordered to meet someone else of your faculty?"

"Ma'am, I did that thing keeping you in my mind and the rapport we guys have with you. So there would be a definite change in the plan, if the coordinator weren’t you"

"OK, fine. Keep that aside. What happened? What was that momentous thing to occur?"

“Actually Ma’am, I became friends with a guy named Arjun recently. We became ‘very good friends’ in the very short period of our meeting”, said Aashritha shyly.

“VERY GOOD FRIENDS, right? OK fine, continue…”

[AASHRITHA TOOK A DEEP BREATH...TAKING TIME TO RECOLLECT THE THINGS...WAITING TO SAY SOMETHING...]

{MEANWHILE AT ARJUN'S PLACE... LAST RESORT of PAPA ROACH WAS PLAYED DEAFENING ENOUGH TO PENETRATE THROUGH YOUR EAR DRUMS DIRECTLY TO YOUR BRAIN.}

'Grrrrr... Ggggrrrr...’ his mobile phone vibrated against his computer table's smooth surface. The mobile phone was already trembling to the tune of LAST RESORT. This vibration made it even more close to the edge of the table. Just when it was about to take a dive onto the ground, the green colored phone symbol was pushed aside by the right hand thumb finger of the person owning the hand.

"Yo! Man, Mahesh, tell me dude, what's up?” said Arjun.

"Bro, I need to talk to you, I have very important news for you. Meet me at the college canteen without meeting or talking to any our gang members. Is that clear?”

"OK fine. Then I bet it is surely an important thing. COLLEGE CANTEEN AT 8:45. DONE"

[AFTER THE CONVERSATION, ARJUN GOT READY FOR THE COLLEGE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE... EVERYTHING OUT ON THE ROAD WAS VERY CALM. THIS WAS VERY NEW TO HIM AS THE USUAL TIME HE WOULD GO TO THE COLLEGE WAS 2 HOURS LATER.]

{PLACE:AT THE COLLEGE CANTEEN; TIME:8:45 AM...

ARJUN AND MAHESH WERE SITTING ON A TABLE OPPOSITE TO EACH OTHER...}

Arjun: ”What happened dude? What's the matter?”

{[(MAHESH TOOK A DEEP BREATH...GOT READY TO TELL THE IMPORTANT THING....

JUST THEN THE ARRIVAL OF THEIR IDLY-SAMBAR AND MASALA DOSA, STOPPED MAHESH FROM STARTING THE STORY...}])

{AB DEKHENGE AAGE KYA HOGA...}
