Alarm rang in a hostel room where two girls were snoring peacefully, the alarm barely reached their ears as they were deeply in sleep. One of them stretched in sleep and while stretching, she hit the alarm clock mistakenly and it fell and both the girls woke up a little scared.

"Kya hua ye? Kya gira? Haan Naivedhi?"

N~mujh se kuchh nahi gira hai Tara, tujh se gira, woh dekh alarm clock

Tara looked down at the alarm clock where Naivedhi was pointing at and picked it fixing it on the bedside table and rolled her eyes.

T~ek toh late soyi thi, upar se ye alarm clock

N~aray is ka kya role hai yaar humari life mein? Jab dekho tab faaltu mein bajti hai, humari azadi chheen'ne ki machine hai ye. School ke waqt bhi time se utho, time se so, parho, homework karo... Lekin college mein not at all, college mein admission ek bahana tha, mujhe toh freedom chahiye tha apnay ghar se.

Tara stood up and sat beside her and wrapped her arm around her shoulders.

T~same here... Parents bohat sakhti kartay thay mere ghar mein, ye karo, ye na karo, kam se kam yahan freedom toh hai na

N~tere paas parents bhi hain Tara, mere paas nahi... Meri Malti chachi toh yahi chahti hain ke main shahdi kar loon taakay apnay parents ki multi-million business chala sakoon, jo ke mujh se nahi ho ga yaar, main carefree rehna chahti hoon, life ko enjoy karna chahti hoon, aisay bound ho kar nahi reh sakti main

She pouted.

T~at least tere baare mein sochti toh hain na woh? (Naivedhi nodded) Mere parents barely attention detay hain mujh pe... Chal ye sab chhor, is se pehle koi darwaza khatkaaye aur magaz khaaye, hum dobara sotay hain yaar, melodrama dekhne ka mood nahi mera humari warden ka.

N~hmm chal sotay hain

Tara stood up and went to her own bed and lied there. Naivedhi also lied down. They slept within seconds. But then there were loud bangs on their door much to their annoyance. They sat up.

N~(in a low voice audible only to Tara) yaar abhi toh soye thay yaar, ye zaroor woh khadoos warden Alia ho gi

T~aur is ka lecture sun'na paray ga ab... Sun ek idea hai, is se pehle ke woh darwaze ka lock turrwa ke andar aa jaye, hum aisay sotay hain ke jaise marr chukay hain aur koi bomb bhi phaaray ga toh bhi hum nahi uthein gay

N~idea achha hai, so ja so ja

They lied down again and slept as if there's no tomorrow. The warden got fed up by banging on the door again and again.

Warden~Tara! Naivedhi! Utho chalo! Bohat complains aa rahi hain tum dono ki mujhe aur principal ko! Lectures bunk kartay ho, raat ko khud toh sotay nahi baaki sab ko bhi pareshaan kartay ho, utho nahi toh ye darwaza tootay ga ab! Utho!

Naivedhi and Tara didn't even budge a little. The warden had no option but to get the master key to unlock the door. So she got it and came back and unlocked the door and entered inside only to see the two carefree fellows snoring. She sighed and folded her arms on her chest.

Warden~kuchh nahi ho sakta in dono ka... Night owls kaheen ke, abhi sabak sikhaati hoon, ab paani sarr se upar pohanch chuka hai. Aaj main bhi dekhti hoon ye log kaise lectures nahi letay aur kaise time se nahi sotay.

She got the jug of water and splashed it half on Naivedhi and the other half on Tara. Both woke up and sat up with a gasp. Naivedhi looked at her drenched clothes.

N~God, ye kya mazaak hai? Hey you... (she looked at warden) main principal se complain kar doon gi ke tum bina ijazat ke humare kamre mein ghussi ho humari privacy ko torr ke aur aisa kiya hai tum ne, tumhe nikalwa doon gi yahan se.

Warden~oh really? Nikalwa ke dikha do, maan jaaun gi tum ko main... Meri chhoro, utho fresh ho aur ready ho aur phir jao lectures ke liye

Naivedhi narrowed her eyes at her.

T~warden, tum na warden ho toh warden ban ke raho, humari maa mat bano, aray itni beautiful ho, maa ban'ne wali umar nahi tumhari

Naivedhi and Tara had a laugh while the warden shut her eyes tightly in anger and got control over herself.

Warden~excuse me miss Tara. Meri maa ban'ne wali umar ho ke na ho, tumhari aur tumhari is dost ki umar zaroor hai parhne likhne wali, aray parh lo nalaayako'n, sudhar jao.

Tara stood up and approached the warden from behind and held her shoulders much to her much to her anger.

T~aray meri cutie pie, meri beautiful lady, the most adorable of all, sab se ziada dashing, extraordinary, charming lady, gorgeous, rosy cheeks, maan jao na, sonay do na humein, pleeease?

Warden turned to her and gave her a snobby smile and held her chin.

Warden~no! Sonay ke liye poori raat thi, kiun nahi soye? (left her chin and dropped her smile) chalo ready ho ja kar dono, lectures attend karo, abhi toh main aai hoon yahan, principal aaye tab mat kehna ke maine warn nahi kiya

Naivedhi stood up coming to her and grasped her hand softly.

N~yaar kya principal tak pohanch gayi, dekho first period waisay he gaya, hum ek kaam kartay hain, third period mein aatay hain, sonay do na thora please

Warden~achha? Toh aisay nahi maano gay tum log dono? (she pulled her hand back out of Naivedhi's grip) aisay he chalo ab toh, fresh bhi mat ho ready bhi mat ho, aisi embarrassing haalat mein he chalo, chalo!

T~no no, aisi haalat mein nahi, achha hum hotay hain fresh, okay, hotay hain

Warden stood there unconvinced and Tara walked inside the washroom winking at Naivedhi who understood what to do. She went and opened her wardrobe and pretended to be searching for clothes and secretly got out three scarves and hurriedly rushed to the warden and grabbed her hands tying them together as she looked in horror shouting loudly. Tara came out and took another scarf and tied it around her mouth. She struggled hard and they lied her under the bed hiding her properly and then locked the door again. They got her phone and messaged principal.

"Kuchh kaam aagaya, extremely sorry, kuchh derr ke liye hostel se bahar houn gi."

Sent.

They slept again.
