Just before the commotion from parking, Monc had got a phone call, but now it did not matter, as he was on his way ridding triple seat, with Rocky in between and Hera at the rear, who could barely keep his butt on the seat. Rocky, with all the pain in leg had forgotten all about the date, and all he wanted to see was a doctor.

Hera was surprised to see, one hospital pass by, one more, another, and another, finally he started pointing it out to Monc.

Hera: “Hey! Monc, why are you not stopping at those hospitals, Rocky is really in pain!”

Monc:“Shut up! We can not afford those!”

Hera:“I thought government hospital was the cheapest!”

Monc:“Hera, just seat quite, and hold Rocky’s leg.”

Rocky:“Shut the hell up, you both, and get to the damn hospital as fast as possible!”

And they did not speak until inside the gates of hospital. As Rocky was escorted to preliminary examination centre on wheel chair.

Hera:”Now I get it, you wanted him to be here, but she won’t be coming today, as she is going on date with Rocky! Holy Shit! We did not inform her about Rocky’s feet! She will be waiting for him, and she will get angry! We should inf….”

Vidi:”Hi Hera! Hi Monc! How come you are here?”

She is wearing uniform, but she should be waiting at the bus stand, for Rocky. Hera looked questioningly at Monc.

Monc:”Hi! Well, when you called and said that due to last minute scheduling of your duty, we decided to bring our and now your patient here.”

Vidi:”Patient? Who?”

Hera:”Rocky! I think he broke his leg.”

Vidi:”What?”

And she went straight to check on him, and Monc smiled at Hera, and Hera laughed!

Hera:“You brought him to the just right place!”

Whenever Hera got his wish, he would slack off, but not this time, for Monsoon din't allow him to. Neither was Hera trying to wriggle out of the situation, all he was thinking was of how to make the ends meet? How to take the answer to the question, even before the question is ever asked? Hera was looking for an easy way, which would not make him speak and not make Monsoon angry either.

Monsoon: "What a day that was, I do understand the situation we have got ourselves into, but I can not have a say in your family, unless I am part of it and as I am not! Me telling them that, I am not trying to be part of your family, I do not think it is going to work unless they consider me as part of your family!"

After a pause...

Monsoon: "Do you get what I said?"

Hera: "Did you? Was I supposed to!" 

Monsoon: "Oh! This is so confusing!"

And they at last decided to live it at fate and concentrate on studies, which was proving harder than they thought it would be. 

Family moving into a new city implied buying new furniture, waiting for undelivered things and forming new bonds with new people. All this implied Hera did not have his own bike with him, for as of now his father's bike had not arrived in city. Hence, Hera was at mercy of his friends who were little apprehensive to let him drive their's so instead decided to be chauffeur for him.

With Hera's eccentric schedules of travel, only Monk could keep up with him, still with Sam and Monsoon in picture it was not possible for them to manage everything with one bike. So eventually Rocky relented and allowed Hera to use his bike when he had to go out with Monsoon or Monk had to be with Sam.

Hera was not a bad rider, albeit bit rash, was used to drive at his own pace and in his own space. So sometimes slow but in middle of the road, and when fast, going past people just centimeters away, who were innocently walking on footpath.

So one such night, after dropping Monsoon, Hera turned into park the bike and some noise came and bike stopped abruptly. Hera made a note of it to let Rocky know and parked it, but as he went up, Monsoon called and everything else was forgotten. And then it was time for some sleep.

Hera: "I feel, I am forgetting something. What was it?"

Rocky: "Sleep! You need to sleep, and so do I! Good Night!"

Hera: "No, that's not it, but anyway, I will remember it in morning. Good Night!"

Rocky was ready to rock the world of a medical student, shades, gelled hair, new boot cut in fashion jeans, a leather jacket and his bike. Walking into parking space, looking at people looking at him, he knew he was looking good. A guy two bikes away, having starting problem, he knew he was not going to have any, he had maintained it well.

Kick! And it kicks back. Seems to be in gear, no problems! Just hold the clutch and kick, and twisted the accelerator! Bike vroomed, moved forward and dashed with a car and fell over Rocky. And Hera reached just in time to witness the thing.

Hera: "So that was it last night!"

Rocky: "Aaaahhhhhhh! Get the bike off me! Aaaahhhh!"

Monk came out, hearing the crash!

Monk: "What about last night?"

Hera: "Nothing, just that bike's clutch wire is broken!" As he got the bike off Rocky.

All Rocky wanted to do was beat up Hera, but something else was broken, no not bike, but Rocky's leg. Resultant, Rocky's medical date turned into appointment with medic.

Hera had to move to new home, and surprise was just sinking in, but he was not ready, not ready to discuss his non existent love life, and if his parents had taken the scene in as he thought they had, even sex life was on the cards. And with no love life, there was not going to be any sex life, not with Hera's pocket money. Hera was just looking for an excuse to not stay where he was supposed to, just for few more days. 

There was a story Hera had heard:

2 prisoners were put in front of the king, both were awarded death sentences, one accepted the fact, and was to be executed next day. Second just blurted out, in one year he can teach a horse to fly, and king gave him one year to prove that. The first prisoner just asked him, why are you procrastinating, and making your days miserable.

He said: "I am just buying time, who knows what will happen in 1 year, may be I will die after one year, may be there will be a battle and king might lose/die, & may be horse will learn to fly, who knows, as long as I have time, I have hope."

And right now Hera was following the second prisoners rule, either his parents would forget, either Monsoon would really fall in love with him, or may be he would be dead! Which in his own eyes seemed to have a low probability, very very low probability.

Hera still thought of one way of getting out of moving everything to new home, and wanted some reason to stay back for few days, just few days. And Monk just helped him to create an opening.

Monk: Thinking of breaking the silence "So Hera now you would not be studying with us this time!"

Hera: "Why not! I cant imagine not studying with you people, if I stay at home and study, the phone bill is going to be heavy, plus it would be difficult to match my timings with you all, for solving our doubts."

Monk: "Wh.....oh! Okay! Yes, I can not imagine how your pocket money is going to cover that." And he got an angry look from Monsoon, for she understood Hera was not looking for a raise, but time away from Home.

Monsoon: "Yes, It would be difficult to study alone, as since coming here you have been studying in a group with Duds, Monk, and others." Emphasizing Duds name.

Hera: "I think I will come to your room for studies, for exams, and continue to live with you for time being. That is roughly one month."

Duds: "Yes! You can shift everything today except for clothes, bed and books. And after exams get over you can move the rest of the things."

And Hera's father realized, what they wanted and agreed, however, there is no need to shift to Monk's place for the landlord has not agreed to pay back next months rent.

So Hera had finally got his time so that permutations & combinations of his life work themselves out, till then Hera had decided to just sit and study and watch life unfold, but that's not how god had thought of timings.

Trouble with relatives, friends, girl friends and enemies is that they all like to surprise you and if you are in any luck they work along with each other and if not then all depends on how merciful god is to you. Hera was having one such day.

First thing in morning, Hera was still in his pajama's and an erection from last night's wet dream., a la semi adult movie type, wet tongue in an ear, and there it was, the door bell, and all the room mates seemed to have gone. And there went that damn door bell again.

Hera: Yaaawwwnnnnnn "Who is so impatient, at this hour of morning?" It was 9:30 Am. "Coming!" At least  should have got a chance to get rid of this.

And he opened the door as if one of his roomies was going to walk in and Monsoon smiled at him.

Monsoon: "Surpriaaa!" One look and "aah! You get ready and come down, quickly!" And she skittered and giggled down the stairs!

Hera: "Shits!" And shut the door, smsed her to give him 30 to 45 minutes.

Started off with his morning chores and half way through his bath, rang the door bell. First thought; Monsoon, but then she would give him time than risking coming up again. So sped up his routine with a towel and as he opened the door, the flash of camera.

Friends: "Surprise! Good Morning! Happy Birthday!!!"

Monsoon was there too, urging them not too.....but they dint listen.

Hera: "Really! Is it!" And shut the door.

And heard Monsoon say: "I told you so! But can you show me that picture you clicked?" and though there was lot of protest, she deleted it.

Hera finally got ready and got out of the room, and they were about to go out on a picnic when one of Hera's class mate showed up.

Class mate: "Hera! You have to submit that file today!"

Hera: "Oh shit! That is today? Holy Shit!" Hera went back up, got the file, changed into formal dress and "Guys! I will be back in 30 mins."

And he went to class, Monsoon came along, and first inference she drew from the scene: "This is going to take lot longer than 30 minutes!"

Hera: "Oh! Yeah, What are you doing here?"

Monsoon: "I just came along, should I go?"

Hera: "No! Don't go! or else I will get bore alone."

Monsoon: "Okay! Just a minute."

And she gave a call to Monk and told him to leave for destination, "I and Hera will catch up with you."

Before Hera could tell Mansoon to hop on and go for picnic, it was already 3 hours past the said 30 minutes. And Hera was wet with perspiration and Monsoon insisted him to change and so they went to his room.

Hera: "Wait here, I will come in 10 minutes."

Monsoon: "Its too hot'today, and I really need freshen up, so I am coming up too."

Hera: Looking at her, she was not going to listen so.."Okay!"

Once up, Hera switched on fan and she went for freshing up, and he quickly changed into casuals and she got ready too, door bell rang.

Hera: "Who is it now?" Tired.

Monsoon: "Hope! its not your landlord."

Hera: Shiver running down his spine. "If it is, then I hope he allows you to pack my things, and not just orders you out and make''s me pack."

Its a common thing, when you think of what is the worse possible thing that can happen, that can go wrong, one tends to miss a point. My due respect to Murphy.

Monsoon opened the door, Hera stood behind her, if only it were a mirror, and not Hera's parents, Hera would have loved the fact that they looked like good couple, alas it was not a mirror.

Hera: "Mummy! Sunny! Papa!" I am dead!

Monsoon: "Hel_lo__w A_un_ty!" We look as if we have just changed and made ourselves presentable! This is weird!

Sunny: "Surprise!" Whispering "Awkward! Bro!"

Hera: "How come you are here? I am surprised!"

Mummy: "Well, we had decided to surprise you, but did not expect to be surprised!"

Dad: "We have decided to shift here, permanently, and so have rented the place and now we can go and stay there."

Hera: "What!"

Monsoon was aghast, she could not imagine what was happening. Hera's mom started giving his clothes to her for packing and Hera was asked to pack up his books. After all he was moving.

As soon as packing was done, and it was time to pick up bags and load them on to car, Hera, monsoon and Hera's family sat down for a breather, and door bell rang.

Monsoon, worried who would come in next, just got up, hoping she would be able to stop whoever it was from saying anything foolish.

Door opens.

Monk:  At top of his voice. "If you 2 wanted to

Monsoon: "Sssshhh!"

Monk: continuing uninterrupted "spend a day alone; here, you should have told us and we would have obliged!"

Monsoon: "Ssssshhhhhh!"

Monk: "Why was it necessary for us _to_go on a pic_nic!  Hello Uncle! Hello Aunty!"

Hera just hit his head and slept on the bed, and Monsoon just sat down, with her eyelids down and Monk kept quite, ran down and stopped other friends.

Duds: "This is such a movie kind of setup, Hera got us into."

Monk: "sssshhhh! There is a movie going on up stairs alright but certainly not a love story, Hera's parents are here and all his bags are packed."
