Kajal was dead tired after the PDP experience. She just wanted to quickly change and go to bed. It was already 6 in the morning and her orientation course was scheduled to kick off from 8:30 am. If she had thought that cracking CAT and getting into the hallowed portals of the School of Management was her ultimate triumph, she was wrong. She was expecting a barrage of assignments to complete after today’s session. She had mentally geared up for that. All these thoughts were running in her mind. Kajal was very excited at having made it to this college nonetheless. She would be studying with some of the best brains in the country double distilled in the rigorous selection process. Tomorrow was to be her first day at the School of Management. Completely lost in her thoughts, Kajal headed towards her cupboard. Inside it, Stephy was now gaining consciousness. Getting up from his slumber, he opened his eyes and looked around, still lost. His head then touched the web of the spider family, and there fell upon his face the little baby spider along with his mom, landing precisely on his forehead and nose respectively. At that very moment, Kajal opened the cupboard.

“Aaaaaaawww…Bhoooooooooot”, she shouted. “Aaaaaaaawww”, Stephy shouted back. Kajal ran back towards Rashi, still shouting. Stephy came out of the cupboard and towards the two girls. “Aaaaaaaaaaa” both of them shrieked and climbed up on the bed. Stephy was clueless as to what was happening. He was still in a state of delirium. Stephy mumbled, “Main kaun hoon. Main kahaan ho. Tum dono aunties mere ghar par kya kar rahi ho? Mummy ghar par nahi hain. Chai ki coffee lenge? Mummy ne mujhe dono banana sikhaya hain. Mujhe bathroom jaana hain aunty. Aunty main bathroom ka rasta bhool gaya hoon. Mujhe bathroom jaana hain. Main kaun hoon. Main kahaan hoon.” Stephy headed towards the two girls. The shock of the entire episode was the cause of this hallucination that Stephy was going through.

Kajal tried to hide behind Rashi who was a black belt in karate. Rashi now immediately took charge and gave a solid kick on Stephy’s already damaged back. He shouted in pain. Seeing Rashi take charge, Kajal also grew in confidence. Kajal grabbed the flower vase kept atop her table and hit it on Stephy’s head with all her might. Stephy howled in pain. These blows ensured that he was back in his senses now. He was trying desperately to explain, “Girls…girls…aaawwwwwwwwww…hold on…stopppppp….awwwww…there is some misunderstanding….aawwwwwww…don’t you…..aaaaa…dare…ufffff…don’t you dare hit me like that. Aaaaghhhhh….I have….ouchhhhh…joined the school…of …management…eeehhhhhh…stephy from…mumbai…stop it…will you girls listen?? Aaaaaaaaahhhh….please call Arjun from room no. 420. He is….aaaaahhh…my roomie.”, Stephy was desperately trying to explain the things to Kajal and Rashi who were hitting Stephy with whatever they could lay their hands on. Rashi had caught hold of a broom which the house cleaning staff used for cleaning toilets. She was displaying her karate skills using it on poor Stephy. In the meantime, Kajal called all other girls in the adjoining rooms.

All girls now charged upon him. Both the spiders made a very smart escape leaving Stephy alone. He was brutally beaten with kicks, punches, sticks, and whatever they could lay their hands on. Now, the jamalgota had also started to show its effect on Stephy. He was feeling miserable. He just wanted to escape the girls and rush to the loo, but could not! On hearing the commotion going on in the girl’s wing, many boys rushed in to enquire. The juniors were the more excited ones because this was a golden opportunity to impress the girls. Chirag had forgotten all about his fever and lead the pack. One of the seniors recognized him at the girl’s wing and made a mental note of it. Arjun did not want to miss this chance. He pushed others and tried to get into the room. He managed to get in and asked the gang, “RJ here. You can also call me Arjun but I would prefer being called RJ. So please call me RJ. Because when you call me RJ, I feel like RJ. Because RJ is not Arjun, and Arjun is not RJ. We are different. It is a little complex. I could explain it to you over a coffee. Anyways, what’s happening girls?? What’s all this hue and cry about? Can I be of any help ladies? Your wish, RJ’s command.”
