  "Namita....".
         "Yes Rahul", replied Namita, turning her head towards him, but the words from his mouth disappeared the smile from her face.
"There is a problem !".

                  "What is it? What happened? Did somebody fall? Is anybody hurt ? What? Tell me",she enquired in one breath. " No, no.. nothing like that.We had planned the Fashion-o-Fiesta walk to end with our seniors walkiing up the ramp, in pairs with our Mr. and Miss fresher coming in at the last.You know we have got Mam such a lovely red dress.Our sponsors for tonight had made those dresses but evenutally we are unable to find her and our bad luck is that the designer of that dress is here.She is going to attend the last walking session, one after the result declaration of the fresh faces and the band performance with the Dean sir.I f they are not going to see their special dress, Dean along with the designer will kill us."

             "What are we gonna do now? Should we tell them that she is sick and apologise? Or should we go and first take Dean sir in confidence.I am sure he can handle the sponsors very well.
 "The tension was building up ."What happened?Where's sonali?Isn't she supposed to be here, right next to me?We are soon going to have these dance performances over and are supposed to take the bow being the organisers of this party and being last years fresh faces. Where is she? What's happening?", the tension was rising up with the senior Mr. Fresh Face asking this question.
 "I am really sorry sir, but we are unable to find her.And the bad news is, Dean sir would be coming to watch you both walking in our sponsors designer clothes for Fashion-O-Fiesta.",technically, Rahul was freaking out, " We all are doomed today.He's going to be so upset.I really don't know what to do.I don't want this to be my last organised evening.What are we gonna do now.That dress won't even fit anyone else....anyone else but..", and he turned his eyes to Namita.

                 "What? Why are you looking like that ?", Namita knew what plans Rahul had made in his mind.She didn't want to do that. " Yes, Yes, Thank God. We all are saved now.Namita will walk with you sir.We know she is a junior but the sponsor people and Dean sir are only coming for the dress and the band performance.They won't know a thing.Thank God.Come-on Namita, Hurry up and get dressed.The college is going to perform and then you would be going up on the ramp.".Rahul had devised and ordered people to get working in a breath but Namita stood there, frozen. "No ways Rahul.I am not going to do that.I can't." Get someone else.Ask somebody from out there.I ..I just can't do this",her hesitance could clearly be marked from her words."No you can do that.Come-on hurry up",now even the seniors had joined the voice of Rahul."Yes,now go and get dressed",ordered Rahul and with a heavy heart she had had to get going to the dressing area.The college band had started performing with students dancing on their fast remix tracks.

Within a few minutes, she was ready.In a red blood colored long gown, she was looking stunnigly beautiful.She did gave some heart's a rest for a second, to miss their heartbeat with her glimpse.And their she was, waiting for her turn to get going on the ramp, and alas her turn had come.Very elegantly, holding the hands of her senior, she walked down the aisle ,like a real angel, wrapped up in red silk gown.With a smile on her face, she greeted the sponsors and Dean sir, sitting in the first row and then she lifted her eyes to greet the crowd, she saw him, standing there amongst the students.She did look like a real princess and today she met her prince.

               He was standing right there in-front of her, in the crowd !

        The party had begun.Loud music, clattering sounds of glasses and chirps of students were the remarkably noticeable sounds, making the environment so much alive.One night, where students allow their souls to blend with the nature of the party environment, let their-selves free to enjoy and have the happiest times of their life, the Fresher's Party !

  

      It was 4 in the evening and the side events had already begun like Who's Smarter, Can you Dance and Big Hand .The main party was supposed to start in an hour in the main auditorium with first welcoming all 
the fresh faces and then the Fashion Fiesta ramp walk followed by the short performances by participants of,Groove it. Namita was busy scheduling the ramp appearances of the participants when her phone ringing in her bag disturbed her conversation with her co-coordinators for the event."If you could excuse me for a minute", saying so she quickly answered the call, with a big smile on her face . "Hello". "Okay I get it. Hmmm... Okay okay I understand. No problem. Alright then, talk to you tomorrow". And the call ended, leaving a visible sign of sadness and dullness on her face. "Any problem Namita?,asked her co-ordinator, a batch-mate,and not to forget, now also somebody with a soft corner for our pretty young lady, Rahul.

 "Oh.. No... No, nothing.It's just nothing.Everything is fine.So what I am saying is, let's just get these...." and so she again made herself busy in the work while actually she was doing so, only to distract her mind from that call.We might try to shoo things away from our mind by indulging our-selves in other activities but some things just can't be made to fade off.The sadness was clearly marked on her face and Rahul sensed that.Sensed and decided to make the evening a memorable one for her.


          "Good-evening friends.I, Rishi, welcome you all to our Fresher's party.Let me not be bossy with you, as I am your senior but lets just forget the rules and boundaries and enjoy the evening.So let the party begin", 

 and so the evening had marked it's start.The first happening was the ramp walk, Fashion-O-Fiesta for the fresh faces competition.Many students had participated and the judges were, of-course the fresh faces of the senior batch.Seniors were lined up in the front row of the auditorium with students walking on the ramp, right in-front of them.In the background a rocking score of Usher could be heard, Namita was working backstage, helping students get in line.There was a long queue, everybody wanted to be famous and known and this was just the right platform. "Hello friends, My name is Supriya. I am ...," and so the participants came one by one and all gave their best, to impress the judges and the people to vote them to be the fresh face of the year.After the introduction part, followed the performance by individual groups of students.Tiya was performing too.But the main highlight was the seniors group, performing the "Right here Right now " number by Fatboy slim.It surely was the main performance, enjoyed by all.

        "Namita....".
         "Yes Rahul", replied Namita, turning her head towards him, but the words from his mouth disappeared the smile from her face.
"There is a problem !".

         The day started with the bright sunlight falling on her face.Adoring the sun rays she smiled, first at the sun and then at her roomie, who too was peeping out from under her blanket."Wake you girl, it's a big day today." Yes,the much awaited freshers party was today.The events were supposed to start from the evening itself, followed by ramp walk for the main event Fashion fiesta which will not only decide the fresh faces for the year but also had promised for a rocking band performance tonight."I know Nimi, please two more minutes".Namita had got up from her bed by now,"Alright, but only few more minutes,okay".

 They both had so much understanding regarding everything that they never had fight over any petty issues.It took half hour for her to finish her daily chores and there she was, standing by her window, looking at the bright golden sunshine falling on the trees, bringing them to daylife from the night's rest.Sometimes it's just so satiating just to gaze at zero without a purpose, without any issue occupying the mind.But her mind wasn't unoccupied.Will he come?Why is it so hard to argue logically with some people.Why don't some people understand that their smallest action gives them so much joy.But then we all are handicapped infront of destiny as before time you will never get a thing.So she too sighed over the helpless situation she was in, eventually!


              "Alright,hurry up.Grab the parantha and walk fast.I am already late because of you.Hurry, we got to come back and dress up too.So hurry"Tiya was almost dragged out of the mess, then on the stairs and on the way to college.Namita was a punctual girl and hated who were not.It took her around an hour or so to finalize the ramp and Tiya too rehear-sled her act for the last time with Himani.

 It was 3 by now and they better were to hurry up or they would be late because students had already started coming in the best attire they can possibly have.There was no dress code for the party.The party had begun.It was going to be so much fun, So much thrilling and so much surprising for some.Both hurried upto their rooms and quickly got into their lucky shoes.Tiya was so excited to attend the party, and so was Namita but with a tint of sadness that she wasn't going to see somebody who she really wished to see.Tiya ,dressed in rapper jeans and cool T-shirt left along with Namita, looking beautiful in the green chudidar embroided with silver stones.She did made some heads turn towards her and gave Tiya a chance to tease her all the way from hostel to college."Okay Tiya,now I ll see you in sometime.Your performance will be in the auditorium only so after that we will enjoy together.Cya".And they both parted their ways, waving to each other to meet once again.

 

               And the tables were laid, drinks had started their rounds, students were chattering, boys selecting their dates for the night and girls trying to make the best decision.The whole environment was so much
juvenile.

 The whole auditorium was decorated with flowers and different cloth like waveforms patterns.It was all looking so perfect.Perfect for an evening like the students dream their freshers party to be.The events were about to begin.Students were enjoying rounds of drinks.The events were about to begin, students were queuing up, waiting for their name to be called.Everything was simply so perfect to be called the night of life, The Fresher's Party ! 

Another Two States Part - 5

         Fresher's party is something we all dream about while joining a college.Namita's dream was here but why was she scared?What was troubling her and who has been calling her?The one who's details haven't even been revealed yet! Tiya and Himani just won't stop telling Namita about their song selection, steps and the extra effects added for their participation in groove it.The final list was displayed and some of the main highlights of the party included Groove it, Check the beat, Race track, Paint the art and fashion fiesta ofcourse.Tiya and Himani were selected in the auditions of Groove it and Tiya made it to the decoration team for Fashion Fiesta event. When you are engaged in work so much that all you can think about is work, it actually prevent you from being in the sad depressed state you may get into, thinking too much being your problem.Namita was of one such kind but the coming up party's work made her happy actually.Her talent was coming to the front and she was beginning to be noticed, in a manner that it was about to change something soon in her life.

        "Hello,Hey..I was about to call you.How was your day?hmm.....Okay....So are you coming?Should I expect you ?",the questioner was expecting a positive reply but her looks said they were negative."Alright, just do what suits you.I am a quite busy right now so, talk to you later.Take care", and a tear rolled down her cheeks but before anyone could notice her hands had taken care of them.One doesn't cry for everyone but for someone but at times it's really hard to make that someone understand one's feelings.And she slipped her cell phone into her bag not to answer it again and got busy making the arrangements for the ramp.The party was to be tommorow and lot many things still needed to done.


      Problem shared is burden lessened but some secrets become such big problems unknowingly that they can't be shared with everyone and with whomsoever you wish to share, they should be loyal enough to keep your secret a secret only.Nobody wishes to fall in trouble but life isn't a piece if cake.No matter how disciplined you are when it comes to being practical with life, you just can't resist certain things.Namita was caught in one such thing only.A teenager either falls for the drugs trap or for the love trap and believing the facts the latter is much more dangerous, if experienced pure."Come, grab a seat Nimi.I don't know why but you have been avoiding me lately",complained Tiya,"Avoiding you?Me?No, How can you think so?Why would I avoid you dear?Come let's go to the mess.I am really hungry."They both left together for the mess.They were walking together but this togetherness was filled with so much emptiness that Tiya could hardly bear it and the Volcano of talks erupted.

"Okay, so what is it that you are hiding from me?I know you are!",and she jumped from walking with her to face her,asking the question which Namita had been avoiding since last night..She was taken back by this sudden emotional act but controlling her facial expresions she said,"No Tiya,I am not hiding anything.Why would I?There's nothing that I am hiding from you",avoiding the eye contact which made the other clever girl understand that there was something wrong."Alright so you are not gonna tell me,fine, I won't talk to you,and tiya puffed air out of her mouth moving her head to the other side pretending to be angry but she knew she was her roommates darling and she was actually right."Okay,I love somebody and it's a little twisted story.I promise I will tell you all, Please don't be angry with me.I love You."Namita said with a deep voice seeming as if she was about to cry but Tiya llightened the moment by saying,"Okay okay keep that love thing for your heart and give me a hug.I don't want anybody to blame me for taking his love struck lines !.And they both giggled.Life is so good when you have such nice friends that care so much for you.

        The hug did settle some things but a lot was left to be settled.Namita asked somebody to come over and you might have guessed who the person was.Well I won't say the exact thing, wait for the next part :)

                  Life is said to be going the way, we show it to but at times we come across such streets and crossings which we get going through, even knowing the risk to do so.

               The fresher’s party was to be held after 15 days.The month of September was here.With humid environment and lots of work to be done ,the heat was full on. It was supposed to be the most happening event and the preparations started could tell so too. Notice boards were full of notice’s asking fresher’s, to come up with registration amount and the seniors, to arrange some eye catching events. Groove it, Fresh faces and fashion fiesta were the most popularity sought events. 

The most amusing part in being in a university is you get a thousand things attracting you , with restricted time to contribute towards . Namita was somewhat scared of all such happenings. She was an introvert,kinda and hence it could be the best chance for her to open up to her batchmates as well as her seniors but she was fearing something.Something was keeping her away, not only in the class but also in the evening tea discussions about the upcoming fresher’s party and Tiya could clearly see that.“Are you okay Nimi ?, she asked .”Yeah, I am good just having a headache. Better I leave else it may be get going hard on me. C ya in the room”, saying so Namita collected her things and left the canteen. Being such a pissed off girl at time was just the normal of hers,  Tiya had come to know this about her roomie in two months.She hated this part of hers though. But Namita too being such a prudent girl.

      College professors are the kind of people that never want students to enjoy. Of-course it is their part of duty to see that they excel in the academics but why they always have to intrude the joyful moments with the hunter of exams all the time.The first internal were set to happen just before the fresher’s party. Seniors saw it as their most undaunted task to be fulfilled in the most promising manner.And the preparations were fastened even more. Long lines for the audition forms could be seen in the college. Tiya was auditioning for the groove, she was good at hip hop and had made Barka her partner.Barkha and Himani were rooamates with Barkha being another sad soul like Namita . So these both has a good time teasing the dance steps of the other two girls.Seniors were busy arranging food,drinks etc and the juniors were given the task to coordinate them in the decoration and arrangement fields.If it would not have been Tiya, Namita would not have taken an initiative to be a part of this party.Tiya asked her cousin brother to get Namita's name in the  decoration committee,she knew she was good at it.

              "What's wrong with these two day scholars? I really don't understand why they don't want to be a part of the style-o-mania", Tiya said, throwing away her bag and thumping herself on her bed."Why don't they understand that we are only staging them , we won't benefit a thing from this still they are acting like aliens. Weird people".Namita was studying for the internals.Raising her eyes from the book she tried calming her down,"It's alright Tiya, you people tried your best to convince them. If they don't wanna be a part of it then let it be. I am sure their absence won't make a big difference either". She said things which were smart enough for the condition but inside her own mind she too wanted the answer to the question why both, Vipsa and Sakshi didn't even want to be a part of her life too!But all she could do was to wait for the party because they both have been avoiding her for sometime now and sitting in two opposite directions in the lecture hall gave her no chance to get an answer for her question.

            Ring ring.Ring ring."Hello,Hi.How you doing? I was waiting for you tell that I am a part of the decoration committee.Yeah,she got me into this but I am not mad at her.She really really reminds me of her,you know.Okay I will hang up,You do study well.Bye."Tiya pretended she was sleeping while she wasn't.

And the mystery call returns.Who has been she talking to?Now this question was even troubling Tiya.Find out the answer soon.

Hope the returning part was good enough to let you know the story parts will be updated after span of every 3 days. Enjoy reading.
