Hello people.... here's the next chapter.
At taani's home. Taani reached at 11 by midnight.
T'M - taani beta, itna late kaha thi?
Taani - maa, kitne baar kaha hai mera wait mat kiya kar.
T'M - maa hu teri. Fikr hoti hai mujhe.
Taani - maa plz... firse shuru mt ho ja. Mai khana kha chuki hu, tu b khale. Mai sone ja rahi hu.
T'M has her dinner and goes to sleep.
Next mrng.
T'M was knocking at taani's door as she doesn't like anyone enter her room. Not even her own mother.
T'M - Taani beta... uth ja. 10 baj chuke hai
Taani - are maa... sone de na.
T'M - taani beta, uth ja. Shivam ka call aaya tha, keh raha tha koi seminar hai college me.
Taani - oh, shit shit shit. Mai firse bhool gayi. Maa pehle q nahi jagaya mujhe.
T'M - 9 baje se jaga rahi hu tujhe. Ab uth gayi hai to lage hath naha bhi le.
Taani - are maa, nahane ka time kiske pass hai.
She wears her pant, shirt, cap. Sprays mouthfreshner in her mouth n deo on her body.
She gets out of her room
Taani - sham ko aa ke naha lungi.
T'M - nashta to karle.
Taani - college me kuch kha lungi maa.
T'M - Achha sun...
Taani - hmm..
T'M - aj teri chachi ko paise dena hai.
Taani - yaad hai maa. Tu fikr mat kar, mai jugad kar lungi. Bus tab tak chachi se duur rehna... agr usne firse tujhpe hath uthaya to mai khudke gusse ko control nahi kar paungi.
T'M - sambhal ke jana.
Taani ran to her bike n rushed to the college.
In auditorium all r sitting on their seats while shivam is waiting for taani.
Shivam - kaha thi tu?
Taani - are yaar, traffic bahot tha, fs gayi thi.
Shivam shooks his head.
Shivam - ye aur iske jhoot....
Taani - kuch bola?
Shivam - kuch nahi. Chal ab.
Taani rushes to a seat where someone was already seated.
Taani - a baal ki dukan, chal nikal.
He runs seeing taani beside him.
TaaVam take their seats, while VP comes there.
VP - gud mrng students.
Shivam - bunty, hum yaha subah subah is safedi ki chamkar ka lecture sunne nahi aye hai. Yaad hai na hume kya karna hai.
Taani - don't worry dude. Plan ready hai.
She started ringing a tone on her phone which was connected to a Bluetooth speaker.
Student'1 - S'1
S'1 - ye awaz kaisi hai?
S'2 - kahi ye...
S'1 - nahi ye.... wo nahi.... ho sakta.
TaaVam started shouting
TaaVam - bomb.... bomb... bhaago... run...
They all started running out of the auditorium.
Out in the atrium taani had a speaker in her hand n was standing on stage with the dazzlers n stunners.
R'G - random guy.
Taani - guys... 1 min. College me koi bomb nahi hai
R'G - to wo awaz.
Taani - that was a bluff. Aj hum sab ko 1 sath ho k is college ke khilaf awaz uthana hai.
R'G - lekin ab kya hua. Humne library ke liye strike kiya tha, to wo to ab ban gaya hai na.
Taani - ab bhi 1 kaam bacha hai
R'G - kaisa kaam taani?
Taani - humare college ki student, Nandini sahay ne suicide karne ki koshish ki hai, wo bhi is college ke wajh se.
R'G - lekin isme hum kya kar sakte hai?
Taani - what do u mean by kya kar sakte hai. Hum aj ki youth hai. Hume in professors ko dikhana hoga ke aj ki youth sirf party ya nasha karna hi nahi, but galat k khilaf awaz uthana bhi janti hai.
R'G - hum starting se tumhare sath rahe hai taani, tum bus batao hume karna kya hoga.
Taani - sath dena hoga. Coz united we stand, divided we...
All - fall!!!
Taani - bolo mere sath, km karo km karo, college ki fees km karo. Scholarship do, scholarship do, deserving ko scholarship do.
The students were repeating after her.
Taani - VP sir murdabaad, St. Louis murdabaad.
That is when rey came, held taani's wrist n took TaaVam at a corner.
Rey - ye tum log kya kar rahe ho?
Shivam - Bhai hum strike kar rahe hai.
Rey - dikh raha hai chhote. But qq?
Taani - qq matlb? Nandini k family ka financial condition thik nahi hai. Isliye wo college fees nahi bhar payi, lekin humare college k staff ko usse kya lena dena, unko to bus apne paise se matlb hai. Uspe itna pressure dala ke us bechari ko suicide jaisa step uthana pada. Wo to achha hai she is OK now. But ye kab tak chalega. Humare college ko samjhna hoga, ke financial condition kharab hai student ka to kuch special discounts ya scholarship de, na k use pressurise kare.
Rey understood the situation.
Rey - but kya ye raasta sahi hai.
Taani - matlb?
Rey - matlb ye, k mai samjh gaya, ke u r doing this for a good cause. But tumhara raasta, this way.... is it correct.
Taani - of course it is. Humne jitne baar bhi strike kiya hai, college authorities ne mana hai, n ab bhi manna hoga. To agar kaam ho raha hai is way se to sahi hi hua na. Strike karna achhe cause ke liye is not wrong.
Rey was quite impressed with her way of thinking.
Rey - come then. I'm in with u guys.
Taani - really?
Rey - yes.
Rey too joined the strike.
After a while.
VP Sir - OK taani. Hum apni bhool mante hai, n nandini ka fees hum is saal maaf kar rahe hai.
Taani - not only this sir. Ye strike tab hi rukegi jab aap humari condition manenge.
VP Sir - ab kya condition hai tumhari?
Kriya - 1st condition - har student ka background check ho, n jo student deserving ho use scholarship diya jaye.
Taani - n 2nd condition - jis student k family ka financial condition thik nahi hoga, uska background check ho ke use special discounts diye jaye.
After a lot of thinking VP agreed to them.
After the strike all were in canteen chilling out.
Taani - tum logo ki strike me zarurt nahi thi.
Kriya - humne aj tak saare strikes ya righteous moment sath kiya hai. N aage bhi sath hi karenge. Chahe tujhe achha lage ya na lage.
All started hooting after this.
R'G - 3 cheers for taani. Hip hip.
All - Hurray!
R'G - hip hip
All - hurray!
R'G - Hip Hip.
All - Hurray!
Taani - guys, thank u so much humara sath dene ke liye. Tum log nahi hote to hum ye kabhi nahi kar paate. Isliye 3 cheers to us. HIP HIP
All - Hurray!!!
By evening
Shivam - chalo, aj ka kaam khatm hua.
Taani - yes. Chal, mujhe kaam hai. Kal milti hu.
Shivam - kaha ja rahi hai.
Taani - new part-time job join kiya hai as a bar-tender. Bus wahi ja rahi hu.
Shivam - kaunsi jagh.
Taani - it's a club, bar nahi hai. Don't worry... safe hai. Oozo... tere ghar ke pass hai.
Shivam - to fir thik hai. Kal milte hai.
They depart from each other n by 11 midnight taani reaches her house.
T'M - aj fir late.
Taani - kitne baar kaha hai maa, mera wait mat kiya kar.
Chachi - wait wo nahi, mai kar rahi hu. Kaha hai paise???
Taani took out the money from her pocket n handed it over to her.
Chachi - ye to sirf 10 hazar hai. Baki k kaha hai?
Taani - aj itne hi ho paye chachi, baki ke kal tak deti hu mai.
Chachi - kal dena tha to ghar qq aayi. Bahar hi rehti, kal paise ke sath aana... chal nikal bahar.
T'M - itne raat ko wo kaha jayegi renu behen.
Chachi - mujhe nahi pata. Tu nikal rahi hai ya inhe (chacha) bulau?
Chachi raised her hand to slap T'M but taani held her wrist.
Taani - ja rahi hu mai. Maa ko mat chhuna.
Saying so she leaves.
Here I end this chapter.
Toodles!
