Chapter 25 : 'Mujhe chaat khana hai'

"Ritika," I called her when I noticed that she was leaving.

She stopped and turned back. Rohit and I went towards her. She opened up her hair, kept the rubber band in the bag and looked at me with questioned expression.

"Chalo… tumhe chat khana tha na." I said with a smile.

Instantly, her eyes light up and a wide smile formed on her lips. Actually, She started blushing as if, I took name of her crush. She opened her mouth to say something.

But, Rohit interrupted and said, "Chaat ? Nhi abhi nhi, tabiyat kharab ho jayegi."

She looked at me instead of Rohit, because I also said the same line. She puffed her cheeks like an angry kid and said,"Huh… Tum aur Sumedh sir pakka bichre huwe bhai ho."

"Jo bhi ho, tum nhi khaogi." Rohit said rudely.

"Mujhe khana hai, aur aaj hi khana hai, abhi khana hai." She said sweetly.

"Bola na nhi, tabiyat kharab ho jayegi." Rohit said.

"Meri tabiyat kharab nhi hoti. Mujhe khana hai. Please Sumedh sir, please." She started begging with folded hands.

"Chor na Rohit, ladkiyo ki waise bhi chaat kha kar tabiyat kharab nhi hoti, tu apna mood theek kar aur chal." I said to Rohit.

We went towards main gate. Ritika sat on the grass near gate and, Rohit and I went outside. Suddenly, I stopped when I noticed stall of golgappe.

"Kya huwa ? Ruka kyu ?" Rohit asked.

"Golgappe. Ye le chalte hai. Chaat se to healty hi hoga… Shayad." I said confusingly.

"Abe nhi, dono hi unhealty hai. Main to kehta hu, chor wapas chalte hai… bol dengge ki nhi mila." Rohit said.

"Nhi yaar, vo waha umeed lgakar baithi hai. Aaise hi gye to phir roye gi." I replied.

"Theek hai, theek hai. Teri shakal dekh kar to lag rha hai… ki saath mein tu bhi ro padega." Rohit said in teasing tone,"Par lekar kaise jayengge ? Vo bahar nhi aa sakti. Ye ander nhi ja sakta. Aur hum ye tam jham pack krke bhi nhi le ja sakte.… bahut jhamela hai."

"Try karte hai. Isko le chalte hai gate ke paas, guard 2 minute ka lea to gate ke bahar nikalne hi dega Ritika ko." I said and we went to the seller.

"Bhaiya… chalo, humre saath." Rohit said instantly.

"Are are, betuwa. Hume kidnap kar rhe ho kya ?" Seller asked in his regional tone.

"Nhi… vo humri ik dost hai, usko golgappe khane hai. Aap humre saath chalo, ooha main gate tak." Rohit tried to answer in the same tone in which seller asked and pointed toward the gate.

"Ohh, dost ke liye ? Theek hai… chalo." Seller said with a smile.

We went towards the main gate of college. Ritika stood up and came towards the gate with a smile when she noticed us. But, the guard stopped us.

"Are are… ye ander nhi ja sakta." Guard said while stopping the seller.

"Acha acha, theek hai nhi ja rha ander. Ek kaam karo, thodi der ke liye use bahar aane do." I said while pointing towards Ritika.

"Nhi, ladkiya bahar nhi ja sakti."He said rudely.

"Are… kahi duur thodi ja rhi hai, yhi to hai. Aap chaho to aap bhi khade rehna saath mein." Rohit said.

"Nhi, rule nhi tod sakte. Camera lga hai waha par. Humari naukri chali jayegi." Guard replied in low voice.

I disappointly looked at Ritika. My heart broke within a second when, her smile lessened. She was looking at me with hopeful eyes and small smile which made me miserable.

I lowered my lashes and started thinking. After few seconds, I placed the stall near the gate and I stood in between the entrace while holding the plate.

"Do bhaiya, golgappe do." I said to the seller.

He mashed potatoes and prepared the stuff. Rohit and Ritika were looking at me confusingly. The seller stuffed the stuffing and placed the golgappe on my plate after filling with water.

I extended my hand toward Ritika. She confusingly looked at the plate and then, at me. She didn't understand.

"Dekh kya rahi ho ? Khao." I said.

After that, she didn't waste any second. She gave a smile to me, picked up the golgappa and started eating like a kid. Rohit was also looking at me confusingly.

But, after 2 minutes, he went towards the seller and said,"Hato bhaiya, main banata hu."

He started stuffing golagappa and started placing on my plate after filling with water.

"Dekho, Ritika. Tumhare liye itni mehnat kar rhe hai hum, tabiyat mat kharab kar baithna warna play kharab ho jayega." Rohit said.

"Haan, theek hai. Par teeka jayada do." She replied after eating the golgappe.

"Ji, madam ji. Abhi lo." Rohit said and placed the golgappa.

I didn't say anything. Actually, I was busy in admiring Ritika. She was looking very innocent and her smile was increasing the beauty of her face. I was happy because, after so long someone was smiling because of me.

"Sumedh…" Rohit said.

I came back into senses and hummed, "hmm ?"

"Maine na soch liya hai. Ye college wale job to dilwayengge nhi, to main ek golgappe ka stall lagayungga. Aur golgappe bech bech kar ek din bahut famous ho jayungga." Rohit said in funny way.

Suddenly, Ritika started coughing because She laughed when her mouth was full with golgappa. I kept the plate aside and started rubbing her back. Rohit came with a bottle of water.

"Bas… bahut kha liya, aur nhi." I said and paid the bill to the seller.
