Episode 36 : Fight? Fight!

Gautam was standing inside the small auditorium and texting Sunaina. The text read


"Today's my first class. Ask Sir if he has found a replacement yet? I'll get the original document by tonight"


As he sent the message, someone knocked the door. It was the peon.


Peon - Sir. Chaabi ready hai.


G - Andhar aa'o. Camera mein yeh sab kuch record hona hai kya?


Peon - Bathana toh padhega. Aap ho bohat intelligent. Par patha nahi aisa kya cheez hai jo aap office room se churana chahtey ho.


G - Churana nahi. Lena. Key?


The peon takes a key from his pocket and shows to Gautam. But before Gautam could take it from him, he took his hand back and gave a glare. Gautam understood what he wanted and gave him money while the peon gave him the key.


Peon - Sir? Aaj raat ke andhar andhar kaam katham karlo. Nahi toh main khud ka guarantee nahi dey sakta.


G - Jitna deal hua tha. Usse zyaada hi dey raha hoon Apna muh bandh rakhna aur sawaal na karney ke liye. You can leave now.


As the peon leaves counting the money, he bumps into Rohan who stares at the peon and then looks at Gautam sir keeping a key inside his pocket. As Gautam turns towards the door, he notices Rohan staring and walks towards him with a cool and calm look.


G - Rohan? Tum akeley aaye ho? Where are the other students?


Ro - Yes sir. Wahi poochney aaya tha. If we can come. And kaunse batch ko lekey aana hai?


G - Aaj ke liye tumhari class aur 11A.


Ro - Yes sir.


As Rohan turns around to leave, the expression on Gautam's face changes as he suspected if Rohan knew about Gautam's intention.


--------------------------------------------------------------


Few minutes later, the students are seen sitting in the small auditorium wearing their drama uniform while Gautam stood in front.


G - Good evening guys.


All - Good evening sir.


G - Welcome to the first session. Mere baarey mein kehney ke liye kuch nahi. But for a formal introduction. I'm Gautam. A Law graduate and a trained martial arts student. I'll be handling this subject.


As Gautam was talking, the girls were literally drooling seeing him so was Angela. She had her head on Vidurshi's shoulder and dreamily looking at him. Vidurshi turns towards Angela and,


Vi (whispers) - Angela? Kya kar rahi ho?


A (whispers angrily) - Tu kya kar rahi hai?


Vi (whispers) - Main sun rahi hoon.


A (whispers) - Toh main Gautam ko dekh rahi hoon. (Angry) Dekhney do.


Vi - Ok.


Angela goes back into the old pose as Gautam continues to speak,


G - Now, About the subject. Jab tum logon se kaha gaya tha ke tum Self defense class attend karney waaley ho, toh tumhara khayaal kya tha? What was the first thing that came to your mind?


P - We'll be learning to fight


T - Fight


Junior1 - Fight.


"Fight" almost everyone answered the same till one of the junior girl said


Junior2 - If there will be a new hot teacher.


All of them started laughing while Gautam gave a surprised smile.


G (in a funny tone) - So, Are you like satisfied?


Junior2 - Satisfied? Woh bhi aapko dekhney ke baad. Usse bhi zyaada hai sir.


G (doubtfully) - My pleasure i guess.


While all the students laughed for each and every line, Rohan was also laughing but with a 'what the hell' look on his face. As Shreya looks right while she laughed, she noticed Sid looking at her. She looked at him for a few seconds when,


G - Enough of that now.


Shreya gives a sudden turn at Gautam to realise that he meant the other girls. She gave a sheepish look rolling her eyes and looked back at Gautam. As Gautam looks at her, she fakes smile.


G - So, small change. Jo subject main handle karney jaa raha hoon, it's not self defense. Its "Life lessons"


Ni (confused) - Life lessons?


G - Yes life lessons. Tum sab school mein bohat saarey subjects padtey ho, Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Commerce, wagera wagera. But agar koi crisis ho, ya koi emergency ho, no one knows how to handle the situation. What is the use of learning so many subjects when you don't know your basic life skills. Example letey hai. September 2014, ek news bohat rapidly spread ho raha tha. About a man who died in the zoo because of a tiger. Jab itna sab kuch ho raha tha, usse nahi patha tha ki usse kya karna hai. And the people around, woh bhi nahi jaantey the ki kya karna hai. All they did was take videos or throw stones. Unka chodo. What about you guys? Tum logon ko patha hai?


All the students shake their heads in denial and looked around if anyone else knew.


G - That exactly is the reason you have this subject. It's divided into 4 parts -


1. Basic First aid jiske liye you'll he having a expert come here.


2. Saving yourself from animal attacks. Uske liye bhi uss field ki expert aa'enegey.


3. Disaster management. I was informed that you guys have already learnt about this last year


Lastly, Defense against...human beings. Under this, you'll be learning a lot of things starting from basic moves to situations and how to handle them. It'll be a 2 hour class. And jab bhi external teacher aa'engey, the class will be reduced to 1 hour. That's all the introduction you need. Today, I'm not going to start with theory. We'll start with moves. So guys get up and arrange yourself with 2 arm distance between each other. Ready? Let's start.


The students get ready to learn while Gautam stands in front to demonstrate.


--------------------------------------------------------------


After the class, Megha is seen standing near her locker and looking at an empty page which only had the words "Reasons" on it. Eneya walks near her and looks at her note. Megha realizes that Eneya stood behind her and closed the note.


E - Ab tak ek bhi reason nahi mila?


Me - Doosron ka diary padna bad manners hai.


E - Bad manners ke baarey mein tum bol rahe ho? Please. Waise bhi page khaali hi toh hai. 2 din se ek bhi reason nahi mili warrior high mein rehney ka.


Megha stares at Eneya who seemed cool a was keeping her stuff inside her locker.


E - Dont look surprised. Yakshit ne bola tha.


Me (angry) - That idiot.


E - Chod na. Waise bhi Megha, reasons tumhe milney nahi waaley hai. Usse dhoondna padta hai.


Me - I know. Main dhoond loongi. I don't have a choice.


X - Yes you do.


Alex walks near them with a smile on his face and holding Yakshit by his shoulder.


E - What choice?


X - Woh aise akeley rehkey school ko apney liye hell bana sakti hai. Yaa phir, kuch friends baankey ke apne khud ki hell se bach sakti hai. Kyun? Think about it.


Saying so, he leaves along with Eneya while Megha stares at Yakshit.


--------------------------------------------------------------


Niti is seen standing in the washroom in front of the mirror when Shreya comes in along with her dorm dress to change.


Sh - Hi.


Ni - Hi.


Sh - Class kaisa laga?


Ni - Acha tha.


Sh (doubtfully) - Waise Niti? Ek baath poochoon? Yeh Utkarsh ko kya hogaya?


Ni - Utkarsh ko? Kuch nahi.


Sh - Baar baar itna gussa karta hai. Pehley toh aisa nahi tha na?


Ni - Haan. 2 din se aisa hi behave kar raha hai. Ek minute? Tumhe kaise patha hai ki woh aisa nahi tha?


Niti stares at Shreya who looks back at her in shock.
