I closed the magazine and walked out of the library thinking of the ways to be with Zarine this weekend. During the entire lecture, I remember, that I was preoccupied with the planning the weekend.
I had made up my mind to settle this issue once and for all. During dinner I pulled aside manish and asked him for help. I told him about Zarine and I. He was shocked to hear this but then showed amusement and also congratulated me.
He said, "Abbe kahaan phans gaya tu, uss ladki ka chaal chalan theek nahin hai. Aur waise bhi agar masti karni hai toh theek kyon ke usne ziyada der to college mein rehna nahin hai uske baad woh kaun aur tu kaun, lekin beta agar iss relationship ko aage badhana hai toh soch le, raasta mushkil hai". There was silence for a moment, I hadn't replied becuase I knew he would say more, "Woh bhi iss relationship mein serious hai?"
I replied, "Haan yaar".
"Tujhe kaise pata. Ho sakta hai usske liye yeh sirf time pass ho". He exclaimed.
"Arre yaar, I am not expecting anything and neither is she. We are not taking each other for granted at all. We are just living life as it comes and having fun". I replied.
"Hmmm... theek hai, waise, maine bhi ek mast bandi patayee hai, kisee ko bolega toh nahin?" He said.
"hain? arre waah. kaun hai woh khush naseeb ladki jo maharaaj manish sharma se patt gayi. abbe nahin bataounga, tu chinta matt karr". I replied amid laughter.
"Meghna". He said.
"Mast bhai, toone to mast bandi patta li. kuch kiya ke nahin, ke abhi sirf aankhon hee ankhon mein ishara hua hai". I asked in a mischievous tone.
"Sab kuch chaloo hai bhai, abhi tak usse choda nahin hai lekin we have done everything else. woh kaam bhi ho jayega bahot jaldi". manish replied with a wink and a laugh.
"Bata na yaar, kya karoon main, kuch soch na. tu bhi toh iss hee dilemma mein hai ke to meghna ko kahan chode, hai na?" I asked him.
He was silent for sometime then said, "yes, theek hai, main kuch soch raha hoon, agar yeh idea kaam kar gaya toh poora weekend tu zarine ke saath bita sakta hai aur main meghna ke saath, without having to worry about anything. Abhi kitna time hai humare paas, we can go and talk to the girls at the girls hostel.
"we have good 2 hours, chal chalte hain, I will cal her down". I said.
"Abhi nahin, pehle mujhe meghna se baat karne de, tu chal saath mein when meghna agrees then I will play my cards. ok? tu aur zarine kuch nahin bolna, sirf main bolunga ok?" Manish said.
"Ok, but be careful with meghna yaar, usne sab ulta karr diya toh gadbad ho jayegi". I said sounding concerned.
"Tu fikar mat karr, main sambhaal loonga". he assured me.
I had to trust Manish and I left it to him to handle the situation and find a way out.
On our way to the girls hostel we did not speak, I knew Manish was thinking and patching up loose ends.
