KNOWING IS NOT LOVING.-3

(What RS was thinking, so far our title is not justified completely, but a thread…..)

Rest of the day A and RS was wandering on roads aimlessly. A had asked RS about his decision. RS avoided the discussion. RS is confused, the impression he had of the college was not pleasant to him compare to his old days of graduation. He decided to drop the reasoning for ten days.
Day passed in just roaming, as this is RS’s life is all about.

RS is so tired next morning that he decided not to go anywhere, he picked a book to read. And then his mobile twinkled, he pressed OK button and before he could say anything, voice came from other side,” Dude Pintu here, well today we are going to a amusement park, come at RTC (their regular spot of meeting) soon.” RS,” But I don’t think I m coming because……!” From other side,” Look man we are going and you are coming, see you soon. We all are waiting for you.”
Pintu hasn’t wait for RS’s response and just cut the phone. RS looked himself in the mirror and thought,” Now what?” Reply came from inside,” What, what? Get ready and rock, reading and rest can be done some other day.”

RS reached RTC almost half an hour late, till then everybody from his group has arrived and cursing him. He tried to explain but Helicopter (One of his friend, name Mohit) said,” OK dude we all know that you will convince us any how, so let’s drop the issue and move.”
Everyone got on the road and suddenly someone shouted,” Hey come back, we will go later, first all come back.” It was Pintu, thing is that he has seen some girl who has just arrived at RTC and like always, Pintu is in love with this girl.
Now everyone is standing there and waiting for his love to attend eternal heights, where the love of Pintu need not to be in front of him. It may be a philosophy but from our point of view it is an obligation. Pintu is dear to all and he is an instant lover, moment he falls in love he is completely lost and all he can see the girl in front of him.
Now everyone is cursing him now, asking him to move but for him loving someone is like breathing, and who can live without breathing. He turned to all of us, while the girl was parking his Scooty, and said,” Friends, what do you think should I go and talk to her, what she will feel, am I looking good and smart, how should I start talking, should I ask her for coffee, what should I tell her about my education………Hey RS what do u say, what she must be doing graduation or she is a school girl……What should I do UG or PG,……..,……??????????’
Not to a great surprise for anyone standing there because this is the usual volley of questions which Pintu asks at least nine to ten times in a week and sometimes two or three times in a day. Everyone is at the zenith of boredom, some already started biting their nails because they felt that since million years they are waiting and many more million years are left.
One of them said,” Dude better we should move now? There is no chance of you with her.” And this was the biggest mistake one can do in front of him. Although everyone is trying to make him understand that let’s go, he argued on that.
He gave arguments like: this is not the last day of water resort, after fifteen minutes you can have the same fun as you can have now, this not the first time that we are going somewhere, and blah…..blah!
Then a wise person from the group admitted,” Dude we all know that we are not leaving you here, and you are not going to step back. So go and come back ASAP.”
Other’s just looked at the wise guy, Sid as they all just want to hit him with fire-ball.
Pintu approached girl and very politely,” May I park your vehicle, if you don’t mind.”
Girl,” No thanks, I will manage.”
“Actually people here have no sense of parking, and I am feeling very bad by seeing you struggling.”
“Really thanks a lot, I will take care of it.”
“Well I insist, please don’t fee; awkward.”
As the girl left the handle presuming the rescue ranger will take care of it, vehicle is on the ground because hero of the scene could not handle the load. This is the most embarrassing situation for a boy, so for Pintu, but he is the real gallant. He parked the vehicle anyhow and then talked with her for two minutes and then they walked in a restaurant. Everyone is stunned by the great performance and praise him. Thirty minutes passed but he is still inside. One of them decided,” Well guys we are having fun right here, right now.”
They called a boy who is passing by them and gave him five rupees and asked him to go to Pintu and ask him for some unpaid bill. Boy went inside and did as he asked to. Pintu,” OK so those beggars haven’t paid the bill. Well take my wallet and give any of them.”
Hopefully girl must have been impressed by his act. They returned Pintu empty wallet through the same boy. Till this moment they have called Neha ( a friend), she came and asked,” What’s the emergency?” after knowing the situation she went to Pintu.
Neha,” What the hell you think of yourself, like an idiot I am waiting for you and you are sitting with her. And by the way if I am your girlfriend then who is she? What is she doing here?”
Pintu is just recovering from this blast because before Neha’s arrival he was telling that girl that he has no friend who is girl, he murmured,” What are you saying?”
“What I am saying, you prick go and ask your friends, your cuisine, and your mother who gave me those bloody two hundred years old bangles. Too much heavy and junk.” Neha started sobbing. Pintu is paralyzed with her words, and the girl (still don’t know her name), confused what to do. She must be thinking that boy in front of him is who??
Angrily Neha walked out from there. Nobody knows what exactly happened inside but all were laughing their guts out, by imagining Pintu’s condition.
Then three from the group went inside just to brag Pintu’s generosity, and made him bore with their all energy, girl is sinking in depression because of them.

Waiter came up with bill, Pintu graciously opened his wallet and found nothing inside it. He came out to see his group but no one was there.
And shamelessly he asked,” Khushi, if you don’t mind can you land me hundred rupees? Actually my wallet is empty. I will pay you later.”
Khushi,” Why not, it’s OK.”
They came out and she went to her home.
Pintu found us and we laughed and laughed for an hour on him.
The plan of today, the amusement park everyone forgot.
Till the evening all were roaming here and there and trying to make plans for tomorrow.
