It was so hectic being in the long queue in front of the Bank as if the traffic stretching down the road. I had already been to my bed by the time I returned home. I donno for how long I gotta sleep when I was startled by a sudden phone call from my friend Sree, informing me that we've got an appointment to meet our one and only brilliant actor Rati Pandey... Taking an anticipatory bail that I'm not that much good at writing and that too even in Hindi. So plz forgive n forget if there are any grammatical errors.
I: (at my threshold consciousness): hello..
Sree: are yaar..mil gaya.. mil gayaaa...(screamingly)
I: abe oye..thumko sau aur dohazar ke note mil gaye kya??? bohath lucky ho tum,me tho tak gayi di line pe gadi hokar..
Sree: (interrupted me)uff...pehle meri baat to sun lo tu..
I: pehle tum kuch bolo,sirf mil gaya..mil gaya bak bak jaa rahi hu..bolo ab..baath kya hai?
Sree: mujhe to baat karne ko chance do..vaise ye baath sunkar aaj tumhe heart attack hone wala hai..

Sree: davaeeya??? oh..kaise samjhavungi isse? kal hum Rati di ko milne ja rahe hai..bas!!! bharosa karo..

FINALLY THAT AUSPICIOUS DAY COMES IN
All are set to meet her...Faria, Samira, Ruhana, Nancy, Sree, Pooja, Archana, Indra and I are so much excited and at the same time nervous to meet our Rock star Rati Pandey!!!!
In front of RP's huge mansion
Faria: are..mujhe to dar lag raha hai...ab me kaise aage badu..
Nancy: oh.. me tho asaly me kaap rahi hu,yaar..(she was looking at us and holding Pooja's hand and understood that she too is in the same boat)
Pooja: sach batao..Hitler anthar hai na?
I:(confidently) are..tum log dar kyo rahe hai? wo tho bas ek character di mere dostho.. dekho na meri taraf, muje koyi dar nahi lag raha hai..ek dum fearless!
Indra: haa..dekhthi hu, chalo,pehle tum aage bado(both Indra n Ruhana pushing me towards the FRONT..)
Faria: are..ye tum log kya kar rahe ho..
Samira: agar wo gir jaathi tho...
Sree: tho?
Ruhana: tho kya?
Samira: tho humko hasne ko ek mauka mil jaayega...(Sree,Indra,Samira n Ruhana are laughing out loudly in order to lighten their state of my mind, I just somehow managed not to fall down)
" kaun shor macha raha he udhar???" We lent our ears to a very familiar voice
suddenly we all have started speaking in a very low voice
Faria: ya Allah tum log kyo itna chill rahe ho?
Archana: chup raho muje lagtha he ki woh aa rahi he
Samira(panicky): me tho gayi aaj..
Nancy: sirf tum nahi, bas hum sab or ye tum logon ka harkkothe ke vajah se..
Ruhana: humne kya kiya? we were just kidding dear..
Sree: haa..chill yaar..hum to majak kar rahi di..
Faria: ab tum theeno muh band karo thodi der ke liye..
Ruhana: kyon? hame bi bath karni hai di ke saath..pehla goal me score karungi..
Archana:ohoho..Goal??? aaj tujhe football match hai na? badi aayi football khelne wali
I: chalo yaar ..are ye dekh,woh aa gayi (patha nahi me tho abhi se pareshani ho rahi hai)
Yes! Wearing a dark colored blue jeans n white t-shirt, Rati Pandey the gorgeous, the stunning, the spectacular performer came out and looked at us confusingly and all of a sudden gave us one of the wealthiest things of her as far as we are concerned.. Yuppie..A big cute SMILE!! hayye hum mar gaye..agar uski muskurahat hame maar sakathi hai tho uski batho me hamara kya hoga..
We are actually in a heavenly mood and enjoying that ecstatic feeling. She welcomed us as IF BUDS n shook hands with each one of us..haaye... chu gayi!!!!
We entered the drawing room(not Munna bhaisa's drawing room..lol) and were served with welcome drink.
Rati di: "Yeah, tell me guys..how you all doing? actually I have got my schedule break..thats why I could meet you all." We introduced ourselves to her n began talking about her acting..acting...and that wonderful acting only!!! Samira, Archana n Indra were like Jan shatabdi Express raving about Prarthana to Komal whereas Nancy, Sree and Faria like Rajdhani express blabbering only about Nupur... Nupur...and Nupur by God! Faria, Pooja n I were just like gonna start about both Indira Sharma n Zara Mallik khan, suddenly someone dropped in, we cornered our eyes to the sit out.
Rati di: Excuse me guys, I'll be back in a jiffy, have it..(she offered us some sweet n spicy eatables)
We: Ji di..(she stood up and left us, a feel of separation lingering around us for a while)
After a few minutes, she came back to us and told
Rati di: Gals!!! tomorrow I've to rejoin the sets..if you are all near to my shooting location, tomorrow we can meet there for sure. (Whenever she began to talk to us, we felt like watching some angel in front of us or in other words, we just can't take our eyes off her enchanting beauty.)
Indra: sach di???
Samira: I just can't believe this.. Thank you di..
I: Mujhe to exam hai kal...lekin koyi baath nahi, hum roj aayenge aapko dekhne ke liye..
Sree(aside): ho gaya...sab kuch thod diya, bevkoof
Pooja(lowering her voice): kya karu thumhe...kya jarurat di ye bolne ki?
Rati di was already in her Hitler attitude. Can her eyes be so ignited in real life also???
Rati di: What????? kal exam hai na tera? aur tum mujhe dekhne ke liye aayi ho? iski kya jarurath di? chalo fatafat nikalo yaahanse..ayintha exam khadam hone ke pehle thuje me yaha dekhi to teri khair nahi..aur vaise kaise frnds ho tum log..isko exam hai phir bi leker aathi ho..kya karu me tum logon ka?
I: wo di...asal me syllabus ke adhe bhaag tho poora kiya he baki tho bhagwan dekhenge na???I looked at Sree and Pooja and said..aur hum teeno ko kal exam hai..right guys? Rati di was staring at them.
Both Sree n Pooja glare at me as if I'll be murdered soon
Rati di: Tumein apne pairom ke baigair ghar jana he kya ? Everyone of us got shuddered for a moment, I was already hiding behind Nancy..
I: Na di..me tho bas...(aside)kya ye asli me Hitler ke tarah rahthe hai kya..
Archana(in a low tone): tumne kaha na..wo sirf character he..
Samira:(sarcastically to me, in an undertone)haa aur kya bataya tumne.."she's so sweet n lovely na" ab pet bar gaya na???
Indra:(mockingly murmured ) haa..ek dum fearless!
Ruhana:(smilingly, in hushed tone) kash wo Nupur ke mood me hote tho tere saath exam bunk karne ke baare me soch sakthi di..
Nancy: ye tho sach me hitler he by god!!!
I (still behind Nancy): Really yaar..Hitler Kahi ki..(sighing)
(Rati di was lecturing to Faria and Archana since they seem to be the matured ones amongst us and stopped hearing that)
Rati di: Kuch kaha tum logon ne?
Nancy: (still shivering) Nahi di..kuch nahi..
Rati di: haa thik hai,lekin why are you shivering beta?
Archana(as rescuer): wo didi...ye uski aadath hai..bachpan se aisi hai..
Faria: haa di.. patha nahi kyon..
Rati di: chodo ye sab..well, I'm very happy to see you guys but one thing I wanna tell you all, ki apne padai me choot mat karna kyonki shiksha ek aise anmol chees hai jise koi humse cheen nahi sakte..(especially,staring at me) you understand that?
We automatically are so obedient as if we are in front of a strict school master and uttered unanimously: YES SIR!!!!!
Rati di: kyaaa??? she started laughing out loudly and we were like spellbound..oh! what to tell, hum unki hasee me gir gaye de..''See, I'm really overwhelmed to meet you all guys..ye to bohth achi feeling hai." She hugged each one of us tightly. After taking a groupie with her, we left with a distress feeling of separation. But overall, we were happy because she actually made our day so special!
Suddenly a call came to my cell phone
I:hello...
Sree: hello dear..aaj tum college kyon nahi aya? ek "glad news"hai beta...
I: kya huva? Aaj class test me tum har gayi? kaise?
Sree: abe oye...suno, me tho haarnewala nahi hu, pehle tum khush khabar sunlo..Preethi Miss ne kaha ki agar thum kal tak thumhare assignment submit nahi karoki, tumhare internals zero lag jaayega..
I (back to my senses): hey Sree, tum mujhe kyon call kar rahe ho? hum ek saath Rati di ko milne keliye gaye de..par ab ye call aayi kaha se?
Sree: are pagali, aaj bi dekha thumhara adhura sapna??? come out of it and get done with your assignment asap..varna zero milega..aur haa..ek aur baath, abhi do hazar rupee exam fees jama karna hai.. Saying this she cuts the call
I (soliloquy): ye Preethi miss na ek dum dohazar note ki tarah behave karthi hai..ye do hazar rupaye unko gift kharidne ke liye rakha tha,koyi bath nahi agale baar kharidenge..sach kahu.. ek taraf do hazar aur dusari tharaf assignment..dono itna bada hai, lekin mere sapne tho tutne wale hai..ab chalo beta, assignment karlo varna Rati di sapne me aakar daatengi..
Kash mere yeh sapna poore ho jathe.. one day it will surely happen because miracles do happen!
I was in a rush to unfold my last night's dream as I didn't want to forget it, you guys can rectify me, if it looks weird.
