RV slapped his hand on the alarms head not wanting to get up. He wanted to swim deeper into the sheets but he knew that it was no good. He was wide awake. The after math of the alarm had its side effect on him. He turned his head to the bright sunlight that filtered to his windows. He yawned; his head was still ringing with the alarms screech. With a lot of reluctance he sighed and pushed his sheets away still wasting time in bed hoping that... someone... he shook his head vigorously and pushed those thoughts away and got up. The room was deadly silent.
There was a distant beep coming from across the room. He looked at the wall sadly. The wall was decorated with picture and ornate frames. The contents of the picture made his heart beat faster.
This was a girl's business, you know... decorating the walls with pictures and stuff. But strangely this girl's business was somehow handled by RV.
He had carefully chosen and put up each and every picture on the wall! pictures that reminded him that, miraculously she was alive, "Once upon a time". Though clumsy and disoriented, she made up for 25 years of her life, Healthy and unscathed.
RV got up slowly and walked towards the wall. He stood there for a moment apparently deciding which memory to live. He ran his hand on the picture when she was just 6. Her ponytails propped up against her head to make two horns with RV taking no notice of her feeling and pulling it harder like some horses' reins . He snorted at that picture not because of the course of the event but because Panchi , his best friend, had her hands folded against her chest, face screwed up to show supposed anger, but her lips almost twitched to show a smile.
RV knew she loved the attention or rather she just liked seeing him happy. Even if it meant by making a complete fool of herself.
He walked towards another picture. They were in school ...though this pic was a school group photo, he had it nailed to the wall. Strange thing for a person like him to do so . But he only knew what was so
heartwarming about this picture.
The kids were made to stand height wise. Panchi was standing in the far left corner as she was quite tall at the age of 12. But RV wasn't. He stood Second to last in the right corner (No wonder he was called Nonu.) beside Dolly Mehta, his childhood crush. RV was just more than delighted in his position. But Moti wasn't . She had turned her neck to the extreme right . It almost looked as if she had sprained her neck. She did this to get a good view of RV who was now chatting animatedly with Dolly, who was batting her eyelashes and talking in a falsely girlish voice.
Panchi looked murderous.
RV laughed at that picture!!
"She can't tell the difference between a cow and a buffaloe", Panchi said after the picture had been taken cursing Dolly.
She was hissing so madly that Samar who was standing right beside Panchi, wasted full 5 minutes checking his bottom flask for some leakage later in the Chemistry lab.
RV loved this picture. It reminded him as to how possessive she was .
He marched to the next picture, He was standing with Panchi in another fake Birthday party that he arranged so that Ruby's father could take it to be real.
RV and Ruby were having their private moment behind a pillar. RV knew Panchi was standing somewhere within ear shot but he never cared "You have a beautiful face, the face of ...", He thought hard "Medusa", he blurted. He heard someone choke into their glass... He knew Panchi had broken into fits of laughter and he now knew why.
"Remember Medusa is the goddess of disaster... She has snakes for hair and her skin is made of willow", Panchi said giving him a last minute revision on and English poem that he cared less about.
Ruby looked at him as if she was just being compared to a beauty pageant "Oooh!" She said blinking stupidly at him. "What else is so good about me baby", she cooed which he hated so much.
He saw Panchi coming into the foreground and dancing with a pock-marked boy whose name was Mohit...no Rohit.. He couldn't tell.
"Err", he said nervously as he knew Panchi was watching him teasingly. "Your hair smells like a fruit cake", RV completed not sure about what he had just said.
Panchi mimed puking into her glass.
