Main aisa kyun hoon-II

Haadsa 2 continued..

phir bhi i was cool ki il get down at d next station.. its just a minor hiccup and i can deal wd it.. i told one f d guys in d train bout my problem..you know I really hate people who stare at u for no reason or try to interfere while u r talkn 2 someone else..But, as I was having such a terrific day, not one but two or three guys started at once..
one of dem-“kahaan utarna tha”
me-“woh....jhinkpani pe utarna tha..pata nahi chala kab aaya station”
Another one-“arre seedhe seedhe bolo na sote reh gaye”
and 1 more-“ek toh laparwahi karoge, upar se bahane banaoge”

lots of people, at different points of time, have tried to define “satisfaction” ..That point of time, shouting at those jerks at the top of my voice would have come very close to the perfect definition.. but, I was the one in need of help.. so, I had to keep my mouth shut.. that guy, whom I had initially told my problem said i wont get any bus at dis time..better I get down at d next to next station..i might get a “maalgaadi” from der for chaibasa..(maalgaadi!!ab yahi hona bacha tha mere saath??) he said he’l talk to the station master..he knows him..

i was really confused..
“shud I trust dis guy??” “how can he know d station master??”
“all the people on this train have been total as****es, how can he be any different??”
“may be I shud get down at noamundi and stay in a hotel 4 d nit..and take dis same train back tomorrow”
“but wat about papa nd mom??haven’t been able 2 call dem..( rather haven’t had d guts to tell dem about my latest exploits).. dey would be worried”

I hadn’t really arrived at any decision wen d train suddenly came to a stop..i lookd up at d guy..he was getn down..
The guy-“chalo, aa gaya station”
Me-“kaun sa station hai”
“benposh”
I dint say a word.. got down and followed d guy..

tabhi, my friend rupesh calls..
"abe kahaan hai tu??"
"tujhe pata hai tere papa kitne pareshan ho rahe"
me-"'yaar aage nikal gaya yaar..jhinkpani station pe nahi utar paya"
(he wud have been shocked 2 hear dat 4 sure..on second thoughts, may b he wasn’t..he knows me too well.. these kinda things are expected out f me)
"abe ghar phone toh kar de"
"yaar, nahi lag raha hai"
"chal thik hai..ghar pahunch ke msg kar dena mujhe"

Meanwhile, the guy did take me to the station master only.. and talked to him on my behalf..
station master to me -" jhinkpani station pe pahunch ke ghar kaise jaoge ?"
me(just see how not to talk wen we u need help from someone)-"arre, woh papa aa jaenge lene..woh problem nahi hai"
the station master (looking at me long and hard)-"thik hai.ek maalgaadi ja rahi hai us side usme peeche cabin mein baith jana"

so, i get in2 d cabin of d train..was all alone der ..us bande (rather alla ke bande ) ko thanx bola..
tabhi he says-" kitna padhe ho ji?"
me-"sir engineering kar raha hun"
"aur yeh bhi nahi pata hai ki jab kisi se kaam ho toh kaise baat karte hain?"
(couldn’t argue dat..PR kharab hai mera.. )
sorry bola unko and he left..

maalgaadi chalna shuru hui.. and tabhi aaya papa ka call..
papa(in a very angry mood)-"kahaan ho tum??"
(hold ur breath papa..aaya bouncer)
me-"papa bendposh mein"
papa(in shock)-"bendposh?? wahan kya kar rahe ho??"
"woh so gaya tha, nahi utar paya jhinkpani pe"
(as expected) "wah..mere sher"
"ab kya karoge??"
me(acting as if everything was under control..had 2 prove it 2 him dat if i get myself in2 trouble i sure can get out of it) "woh ek maalgaadi aa rahi hai us side..usse aa raha hoon"
(got no reaction..may be was expectn a bit 2 much..)

so, finally, i reached jhinkpani station at 12 in d nit instead f d 9.30 in normal scenario..ironically, is baar bilkul neend nahi aayi raaste mein..i thought chalo finally d ordeal is over for me..train station pe aayi..i got ready to get down.. but, to my amazement d train didn't stop.. it slowed but dint stop.. tabhi aage engine room se driver or someone flashed his torch and said something.. i didn’t get wat he said..

all I knew, ab nahi kooda toh chaibasa pahunch jaaoonga fir.. (suddenly images of my friend Jai came to my mind.. train slowing down at the dhanbad station..i am about to jump off the train..no..i can't do it..so,jai steps up..jumps out of d train on d platform..falls awkwardly..injures his knee..and all this just to avoid getting ragged by our seniors on the same train) This time i had to do it..had no other option..so, pehle saamaan fenka on d tracks and den jumped myself.. landed on my knees..luckily, no damage done..jaise hi apna baggage leke utha, saamne papa aate dikhe..ab toh i was sure ki jo peechle kai saalon mein nahi hua, aaj hoga..papa ka thappad..

papa-"chalo”
“kitna fajiyat ho gaya thodi si laparwahi ke kaaran"..
dat's all dat he said..and i can't tell u how relieved i was at his reaction.
we reachd home..mom was waiting at d door..dekha mujhe and gave dat "tumne toh meri jaan hi nikal di thi" wala look..as for my siblings, gher liya mujhe gate pe hi and started- " bhaiya bata na kaisa experience tha..kahaan tak chala gaya tha..kaise waapas aaya..papa ne kya bola??bla bla bla..(seems no one amongst us knows wen 2 talk and wat to talk) As for me, i knew i got myself in2 a soup but i was happy dat i got myself out of it..

Next day..
mom to papa -" suniye ji iske liye koi dawai le aaeyega, neend bahut aata hai isko"
