"Gaadi Roko" Amit was shouting at top of his voice. Sandeep went a step ahead and stood in the middle of road to grab attention on any passing by vehicle. This otherwise plash and busy road was never unfriendly or unknown; atleast to Shailendra and Amit as this was their home town, but then it was 2:00 am in a cold December night. Rishabh lit up a cigarette while obliging the road divider; Shailendra asked Sandeep to stop the heroic which according to him could lead to an unpleasant sight. With the last fag an auto appears from the other side of road and they all waved together at their rescuer.
With a sigh of relief they jumped inside the auto and asked the driver to take them to any hotel where they can get a room for the night. As the driver pulled the kick they all felt the thump of engine and one just kicked inside, but decided to glue to the silence of night.
Oh yes…if you wondering who these people are… let me introduce the characters: Shailendra, Amit, Rishabh and Sandeep. Shailendra and Amit were locals while Sandeep was from nearby town. Rishabh was having his first encounter with the city which he wouldn’t count among good ones. They all reached this city for their friend Mukul’s wedding.
Flashback…..
“Where are you guys….when are you reaching…why the hell you guys came here if you are not with me” Mukul was shouting on the poor Rishabh who happened to pick up the call. “We are waiting for Amit, he is taking bath” was Rishabh’s quick reply - this was one of the moment where Rishabh’s spontaneity came handy. Anyway after a while Amit appeared with food (to show that he didn’t took all this time in bath) and got the unhappy note Mukul left for all. He called Shailendra and asked to pre-pone the time they were scheduled to meet. Sandeep had earlier suggested meeting at CCD and then to join Baraat from there instead of going to Mukul’s place which, seemed a nice idea to all. So after Mukul’s alarming call they decided to reach Mukul’s place at earliest and informed Shailendra their revised plan.
