It was midnight. Suddenly, Harsha burst the door open with a bang, rushed into the room and switched on all the lights. Slightly opening up his eyes, he could see the distinct height and weight of Harsha standing in front of him who was gasping for his breath. "Fuck You, Harsha. What the hell is wrong with you at this time of hour" screamed Rahul. Rahul was utterly dejected as he was slowly taking Swetha's hands into his when Harsha came barging into their room. "You Dick Head. I have some big news to tell you guys. So, stop sleeping and open your ears" exclaimed Harsha loudly. Now, Ankit, Anij and Balu woke up from their slumber one by one. "We have a long day at the camp tomorrow. Four of us are here. It would better be good,dude. " Ankit gave a stern warning to Harsha. "Guys guys. Chillax!! I was there when it happened. The news is true. He kissed her". Harsha was immediately under attack by a barrage of ballistic questions from everyone. There was a pure and an unadulterated cacophony that engulfed the room then. Harsha knew he was the cynosure of their eyes, ears, nose, mind and heart at that moment. He was silently smiling with patience for the boisterous din to subside. When the initial crescendo of clamorous questions had slowly descended to a pin drop silence, Harsha cleared his throat. Ankit, Anij, Balu and Rahul waited with bated breath for the big news. Without warning, they could hear the blaring "Nakku Mukka nakku mukka" breaking the stillness. Balu's mobile was ringing very loudly on the window sill. He just brushed the call off with a nonchalant shrug. "Bro. Enough of this suspended suspense. Who kissed whom?. Tell us quick" bellowed Ankit. "I was walking on this lovely night" started Harsha when Rahul interrupted him sharply like a biker cutting in front of another vehicle "Get to the point, you motherfucker!". Sensing that he might be beaten to pulp, Harsha apologetically muttered an apology and said " I was coming back from my walk. Then, I saw Swetha speaking and laughing with Sriram". Rahul's heart skipped a beat. His insides were churning and twisting like a coiled up reticulated python. He was waiting for that dreaded news to reach his ears. Harsha continued "There was another couple. Kumar and Ayesha. You guys know right?". Everyone nodded their heads. "Dude. Tell me what Sri and Swetha were doing" chipped in Rahul. "Ah ha! I knew it. Bugger. I always smelled a rat at your animosity with Sri. We will deal with you later" came a mischievous reply from Anij. "Dude. Continue the story" yelled Rahul. "You guys keep on talking and not let me finish. What can I do"? replied Harsha softly. "CONTINUE" came the unanimous murderous response from everyone. "Okay okay. I was entering the doorway when the power went off. Then I heard a giggle and a soft voice was saying do not come near me". Rahul felt that his heart was in his mouth now. "Then suddenly, I heard a swift 'pachak' sound. At that instant, the power came back and I saw Swetha going back towards her corridor smiling and blushing at Sri". "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo". Rahul was screaming at the top of his voice.
