Chaitra

I woke up in the morning with the irritating sound of my alarm. But today I can't afford to sleep more. I have many tasks on my hands. I have to make sure the arrangements for the annual day are going on as planned. At first, we decided to organize only cultural events and made a plan of action. But suddenly our Hitler i.e., our dear principal(note the sarcasm) wants to have technical events and sports. He informed me about it yesterday. It's Tuesday today and we merely have 4 days to organize all the competitions and to finalize the winners. I just hope he doesn't drop another bomb at the last minute. 

With that thoughts, I got ready and wore a kurthi so that I could concentrate on my work and feel at ease.

I took my keys and went to college. When  I reached college I saw no one on our team was there. I sent a quick message to the group and went to the canteen. I ordered a sandwich. By the time I completed my sandwich most of the event organizing team members came to me. We went to the auditorium to plan the events.

"So guys according to our principal sir our annual day should depict all the factors of our college. So he wants us to organize technical events and sports along with cultural." I gave them the fresh shocking information.

"Has this Hitler gone mad? How can we complete all this in 4 days?" Seema expressed her dissatisfaction and anger.

All nodded in agreement.

"I know it's hard but let's try to divide the work and complete it fast. We don't have any option either." I tried to convince them.

"Whatever! Let's get over with it." Karthik answered with the least interest in his voice.

"So let's split the work into parts and divide the members into teams. So we are organizing three different sets of programs. Technical, cultural, and sports.

In technical we are organizing debates, Idea presentations, paper presentations, Report analysis, Quiz, Essay writing, and coding contests. Abhishek will be the leader of this team Riya, Mayank along with a few juniors will help him. It's your duty to select and finalize everything starting from themes or topics to judges and winners list.

In sports, we are going to organize a cricket tournament, throwball, volleyball, Basketball, chess, table tennis, and Kabaddi. Karthik will lead this team and Rakshit, Mithun and a few other juniors will help him. You have to get the sports equipment, referee, and finalize the winners by Thursday evening.

And coming to cultural we are having a dance, singing, fashion show, role-play, vegetable carving, makeover, and treasure hunt. I will handle this part along with Seema, Joshika, and a few juniors.

I will also make sure about the decorations and the prizes for the winners. Abhishek will look after the sound system and lighting and Seema and Mayank will make sure about the performances on that day. Are you all okay with the plan or anyone wants to swap your positions?" I waited for their reply.

They thought for a brief moment and answered yes to my proposal.

"Guys let's just prepare quick posters and paste them on notice boards. We will organize the technical and sports events from tomorrow as the students need some time to get prepared. As of now let's get started with the cultural events planned for today."

We all dispersed to get busy with our work. I was doing my work when I got a message from our Principal.

"Chairman sir's son and our trustee are going to visit our college today so arrange all the prizes. He's going to inspect them."

I stared at my screen with utter shock which gained my friend's attention.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seema questioned nudging my shoulder. 

I showed her the message.

"Has he gone mad or what? How are we supposed to get the prizes now?"

"We have to go and buy them. Like right now!" I was freaking out.

"Let's go. We will ask Hitler's permission and buy them." She replied.

"No! I can't listen to his lecture about being pre-planned for half an hour. I will just be back soon. You just cover up for me."  Saying that I ran out without waiting for her reply.

I jumped the wall of our college as that stupid watchman would not allow me out without permission. I just booked a cab as my scooty is parked inside the campus and I can't go in now.

I went to our college as my dad asked me to hand over a cheque personally to the principal and to inspect the arrangements. It was totally unnecessary as I could send the cheque with Abhi and my brother and sisters will however eat my brain talking about the arrangements. Even though most of the people in the college don't know about them belonging to our family, the principal sir knows it well along with a few professors. But I couldn't say no to my father so I just came to the college.

When my car was about to enter the college I saw a girl trying to jump off the wall. She is beautiful with long hair up to her hips. Even though she is far from me I can sense a connection between us. Unknowingly a smile made its way to my lips.

I went in and handed over the cheque to the principal. Then we started our rounds to the places where different competitions were being organized. It's been an hour and the principal is explaining every detail to me. Lastly, we are in the auditorium.

"I must say sir you are organizing it very well. It's quite impressive."

"No Mr. Chauhan actually our students are organizing everything. We have a committee to organize the event. Let me introduce you to the members."

Saying this, the principal asked all the coordinators to join us. He started introducing them all.

"They are Mayank, Karthik, Seema, Rakshit, Abhishek, Mithun, Riya, Joshika and..."

He gave a pause and was searching for someone.

"Seema where is Chaitra?" He questioned the girl who stood there sweating.

"Sir woh.. woh.." Before she could answer a sweet voice replied from our back.

"I'm here sir."  We turned back to see the same girl who jumped the wall an hour ago. 

I was lost in her beauty. Her pulpy rosy lips, her dove-shaped eyes, her straight long nose, milky cheeks her long hair everything about her is just perfect.

I was brought back to the world with the principal's question.

"Where were you Chaitra?" 

"I was arranging the prizes, sir. I am sorry." She replied politely.

But I saw her literally escaping an hour back. Are they twins?

"Mr. Chauhan! Let me introduce her. She is Chitra. She is handling everything related to this event."

I forwarded my hand and she gave a firm shake-hand. Her hands are so soft.

Later we went to inspect the prizes. I excused myself as I got a call. Principal Sir also left as he was having a meeting with HODs. 

When I was going back I heard students talking among themselves.

"Where were you Chitra di? And how did you get the prizes?" Aakansha asked.

"I went out to get the prizes." was her reply.

"Did Hitler give you permission to go out?" It was a boy named Karthik I guess.

"No. I sneaked out!"

"What? How?" Mayank asked.

"I jumped off the wall." She said giggling.

"What?" Everyone shouted at the same time.

"Are you alright?" Abhi asked.

"I'm fine." She replied.

I chuckled remembering her little stunt and walked in.

They all fell silent as soon as they noticed me.

"Chaitra Di! Hitler asked you to leave the guest till his car and all of you to meet him in an hour." A girl came and said.

"Where?" Akshaya asked.

"Concentration camp!" She said and left.

What's with these people? Hitler? Concentration camp?

Chaitra came towards me and smiled.

"Shall we sir?"

I nodded a yes and we started walking. She was walking behind me. I stopped and asked her to walk with me.

"So you jump off the walls?" I asked looking at her. 

The look on her face was so cute and funny. I turned my gaze to control my laugh.
