As the Hindi exam answer sheet was handed over to the examiner, Vicky felt a weight off his shoulders and came out of the exam hall and sat in the lawn of the college compound. At the stroke of the final bell, children came out and all of them were just jumping with joy and hugging each other.
The exams got over, children got into the mode of enjoying, playing etc. The exam results would come out only by first week of June and the colleges would only open mid-July, so for the children it was a long-long-long holiday. In those good old days, few colleges conducted advanced classes for 11th standard, hence there were no speed-breakers ahead.
The cricket matches resumed and so did his rivalry with ‘Dahiya.’ On one occasion he had managed get a ball hit him at his soft spot. Nothing could have been done as there was no malice – atleast no one could claim. The walk on terrace with Sadaf had become more regular. One day he talked to Sadaf on reasons for not attending his birthday party. Sadaf told him that it was nothing much.
He said “must have been otherwise you would have joined – share with me if you can.”
She started crying and after a while when she calmed down, Sadaf swore him to secrecy and told him how Dahiya was pressurizing her to make love to him and how he had misbehaved with her father when he found Sadaf with him and had scolded Dahiya. She was actually fed up of this Dahiya mess. With Sadaf in 12th std, she felt that this Dahiya business has created a lot of problem for her in family. Vicky told her to relax and placed his arm across her shoulder to comfort her. She did not react and place her head on his shoulders. She felt secure in his strong arms.
A few days from the talk on Dahiya, Sadaf and her father were going somewhere. They crossed paths with Dahiya and his friends. There were a few heated exchanges between her father and Dahiya with him threatening Mr Khan with dire consequences. Vicky was close to that spot and on hearing the commotion turned towards them. Dahiya recognized him and told him to stay out of it. Vicky told him that he should leave Sadaf and get lost. On hearing this Dahiya said “Tu jaanta hai na main kaun hoon (you know who I am)”
Vicky replied “Saale ek hi baap ka hai toh akele aa phir dekh tera kya haal karta hoon (come for a fight alone if you are not a bastard)”
This was perhaps too much for Dahiya’s pride and he ordered his friends to stay away from this. He tried to raise the stakes and said “What if I beat you” Vicky replied “Sadaf is all yours and his father would not fight with you”
Vicky said “but if you loose, you would dare not enter this colony or disturb Sadaf, her family in any manner possible.” Dahiya agreed. This was exactly what he wanted. Sadaf looked at him with a quizzical look of who the hell was Vicky to decide on her fate. The calm look on Vicky’s face made Sadaf believe in him and she held her father’s hand.
