The boys stood outside the PTI's house, anger boiling inside them.
No one had a proper plan… so naturally, things got stupid.
And within seconds—
The entire group broke into a nagin dance.
Raghav: Aye! Come here, asshole!
PTI: Mind your language or I'll expel you too!
Raghav: Hah! Try if you dare! I'll kick your butt!
PTI: Oh yeah? Fine then! You just wait! I'll show you!
Raghav: Yeah? I'll show you something first! Guards!
Then two men came and put a big TV near Raghav. He played a DVD. It was a spy-cam video of the PTI. He was taking a bribe from Gaurav, and the bribe was…
Students (shocked): Vibrator?! Isn't that for girls to masturbate?
Everyone looked at the TV and then at the PTI. He looked tense and flustered, blushing.
PTI: S-Stop! Stop that!
Raghav: This is a surprising turn of events!
PTI: I'll do whatever you ask, just don't reveal that video!
He started crying.
Priyanshu: Alright, alright! Just cancel Yash's expulsion!
PTI (nodding heavily): Okay! I cancel it! He can come to school!
Then the students went back to find me.
Priyanshu: Where could he be?
Raghav: Well, if I had to find him, I'd check all the shops with lollipops on them.
Akash: What? Isn't this strange?
Raghav: I can bet my life. Let's go.
They all split up and started looking for me. When they found me, I was at a shop near the airport. A song was playing nearby—
Song: Kabhi khushi kabhi gham, na jude honge hum!
Yash (singing): Lund le le mera!
Then I turned and saw my classmates.
Yash: What are you all doing here?
Raghav: Where do you think you're going?
Yash: I'm expelled, so I'm going back to Mumbai.
Priyanshu: You can't go! If you leave, then who will sell porn DVDs all around Jaipur?
Yash: Wh-What do you mean?
Akash: There's still a need for you by porn lovers.
Kunal: If you leave, then we won't get to have fun in our life.
Yash (confused): I… I don't know what you're getting at. I have no reason to stay.
Priyanshu: We are friends, right? Do you need any other reason to stay?
Yash: 🙂 I'm happy to have friends like you, but…
I turned to go.
Yash: I can't lie to my parents that I'm still in school when I'm expelled. Thanks for coming all the way here to see me off.
Raghav: Well, if you want to go, then fine.
All: What?! Are you crazy?!
Raghav: I was planning on giving you this news—that your expulsion was cancelled so you can return back. But I guess, if you really want to go… I won't stop you.
I stopped. Then I turned with a surprised face.
Yash (shocked): What? The… expulsion was… cancelled?!
Raghav (proudly): Yep! I'm the only solution to everyone's
problems.
Yash: Stop kidding. Really?
All the others nodded. I got surprised and stunned. Before I realized, my tears started falling. I hugged Raghav and Priyanshu, and then the whole class hugged me together.
Yash (sobbing): I… I can't thank you enough, guys. I'm… I'm so glad… I seriously love you all.
Kunal: C'mon! Stop now! You'll make us cry too!
Raghav: Hey, tell me one thing—why were you saying "lund le le mera" to the shopkeeper?!
Yash: He was selling me lollipops at ₹8 each… that's why.
They all stared at each other and then picked me up.
They went on a bridge and threw me into the river.
All: "Mar gya sala… la la la la la…"
Then I came up flying like a bird, flapping porn DVDs.
They all got shocked. I safely landed on the ground.
I was flying with the help of the kid ghost.
Yash: Phew! See? That was the power of porn! Jai ho Porn. Jai Johnny Sins!
They all looked idiotically at me. Then we all headed home.
Finally, when I, Raghav and Priyanshu were remaining…
Raghav: I have to split here. My home is on the left.
Yash: Ok. Thanks again for helping me. Seriously.
Raghav: Yes. Now polish my shoes and say "Thank you Master."
I polished his shoes happily and said, "Thank you Master."
Priyanshu hit his head. Then we parted. I and Priyanshu walked towards our home.
Yash (sparkling): I can't believe that Raghav is so useful!
Priyanshu (nervous): Hehe… you're giving him too much credit.
Yash: What do you mean?
Priyanshu: Actually… it was Varsha who helped us.
He told me the whole story.
Yash: 😮 Long story short… I have to thank Varsha and also have to kick Raghav's ass!!
Priyanshu: Well, something like that.
Yash: But what will I say to Varsha? A simple thanks? I have to think about this!!
Priyanshu: As you see fit. Alright, I'll go right from here. See you tomorrow at school.
Yash: Yeah, bye. And thanks for everything!
Then we both parted our ways too.
The next day, I (alone) was walking towards school. I met Priyanshu on the way.
Yash: Hey, good morning!
Priyanshu: Oh, hey Yash! Did you think what you'll say?
Yash: Yeah. I have to thank Raghav and kick Varsha's ass!
Priyanshu (yells): ARE YOU CRAZY?!
Yash: Why?
Priyanshu: Listen well, I'll tell you what you have to do.
Somewhere behind us… someone was watching us from bushes.
It was Raghav. Then he stopped and turned.
Raghav: Am I doing good, Master?
Rumor Guy: Yes, good. Trr Trr!
He was wearing a frog's dress and was coming towards him.
Raghav: Why are you in frog's dress?
Rumor Guy: Have you heard the rumor about a frog being kissed by a princess and then becoming a prince?
Raghav: Yes.
Rumor Guy: My great grandfather was the one who spread that rumor. Now focus on your training.
On our side…
Priyanshu: …So you understand?
Yash: Yes! I understood that I have to kick Varsha's ass and then thank Raghav!
Priyanshu: Noooo!! (sighs) I give up. Do whatever you want… but I have an idea! Do the opposite of what you think, okay?
Yash: All right!!
Then we reached class. Raghav was not there, nor had Varsha arrived yet.
Priya: So you managed to get your expulsion cancelled?
Yash: Yup!
Then Raghav came. I went to him. Priyanshu was outside with Kunal. I stood near Raghav and thanked him.
Yash (mind): I have to kick Raghav's ass, right? But Priyanshu said to do the opposite…
Hey buddy, thanks for everything. I owe you, man!
Then I went back to my seat. Priyanshu came into class.
Varsha walked in too.
Priyanshu (to Raghav, slowly): Hey, how did you feel after getting your ass kicked by Yash?
Raghav: Why would he kick my ass? He even said thank you.
Priyanshu (shocked): WHAT?!
Raghav: He even said thank you.
Priyanshu (shocked): WHAT?!
Raghav: He even said thank you.
Priyanshu (shocked): WHAT?!
Raghav (annoyed): Are you an asshole? I said the same thing!
Priyanshu: But that means…
He looked at me. I was about to talk to Varsha.
Priyanshu (scared): He's going to fuck her up!!
Raghav: WHAT?!
At the same time, Priya was talking to her brother on the phone.
Priya: Mom and dad aren't home today, so be sure to come home soon, okay?
Raghav (to me): Use condoms too, idiot!!
Priya thought that Raghav said that to her. She slapped him.
Priya: He's my brother!
Raghav (calls Andrew): Send me the book which has Priya's data in it.
Then 15 books dropped on his bench.
Andrew: Sir, 13 trucks are still on the road, full of books.
On my side…
Yash (mind): I have to talk to her… but I can't. I'm not even on her level…
I then looked at her. She was looking outside.
Yash: Um… thanks, Varsha.
Varsha: Hm?
Yash (smiling): For what you did. I'm so thankful. I owe you.
Varsha (slowly): Wh… who told you?
Yash: Guess I can't tell you that. But really… I can never repay you.
Just let me know whenever you need me, okay?
Varsha (blushing): A… as if I'd need you!
Yash: Yeah, I know. I'm not someone who can do much for you…
but sometimes, even I can be useful.
Varsha: …
Yash: If you don't mind me asking, why would you go out of your way to help someone like me?
Varsha: I… just happen to hate bribes and those science students.
If you were expelled, it would ruin our class name.
I just protected the class… that's all.
I was smiling and looking at her.
Varsha (flustered, red cheeks): Wh–what's wrong?
Yash (smiling): Nothing. I was just thinking… you look really cute when you smile. Like a cute little doll.
Varsha (blushing): Wha?!
Yash: You should smile more. I'm sure you'll look really charming that way.
She turned away and looked outside.
Suddenly, everything started shaking.
Raghav (on call): Yeah… I can hear your sounds… yeah! Do it!
Then we heard helicopter sounds.
15–20 military officers brought a huge vault and placed it in the class.
Raghav went and opened the vault.
Inside was a game. A board game.
And our legendary sir… Johnny Sins… was bathing in a tub.
Johnny Sins (singing): "Bol na aunty aaun kya… ghanti main bajau kya?"
Raghav: Ting Ting!!
Johnny Sins looked at us and then yelled.
Kunal (loudly): Attention!! Salami do!!
The whole school was standing on the ground and saluted him.
Even the teachers were there.
But still, I and Varsha were talking like we had no interest in world affairs.
Johnny Sins was trying to cover his body with foam.
Raghav: Sir, no need. The whole world has seen you naked. All parts are revealed.
Johnny Sins (happily, to me): Hey, Yash!!
I waved at him. Varsha too was surprised.
Varsha: When did our classroom get a bathroom?
Priyanshu: Just a little while ago.
Varsha: Who made this?
Priyanshu: Who do you guess?
Varsha: …Raghav?
Yash (happily): Guruji!! When did you arrive here?!
Johnny Sins: Just now. How's your business going on?
Yash: It's blooming, thanks to you.
Johnny Sins: I'm currently working on a new and exclusive series.
I'll provide you its first copy.
Yash (sparkled): Really?! Thank you! It'll make it viral real quick!!
Yash: By the way, are you coming for that inauguration?
Johnny Sins: Yes! I can't deny your invitation, can I?
Raghav: What inauguration?
Yash: It's a business work. Why'd you kidnap Guruji anyway?
Raghav: Oh, Guruji! Give me your blessings so I win the game!
Johnny Sins: Tathastu!!
Raghav: Ok, guards! Drop Guruji to his place safely!!
Then they took the vault away.
Raghav: Let's start the game now!
Yash: What game?
Raghav: It's a game to celebrate your "welcome back"! It's called "Life: The Game." It's like Ludo, but it has its own currency. You land on tiles and follow the commands on them—from birth to old age. Whoever has the highest money in the end wins!
Priyanshu: Sounds fun! Let's play!
