Gogi

12.15 hrs
I go into Gogi’s room bashing his door with a kick. That was my sign that I am at your place! After all it was all Government property so no one has to pay any fine for that.
Out side his room was written all the obscenities which surely individualize his persona as a super cool and extremely notorious guy. Obliviously his parents would not conform to this definition because to them he was 2 times IIT qualified, 1 time science Olympiad qualified and like many of us under 200 rank in PET.
Me and Gogi were like bothers. First time we met was on Table Tennis table. I said something funny and he almost busted me!
Second time we met in the mess and surely me messed pretty well out there.
Third time we met when we were ragged simultaneously by my mecheez seniors for playing smart with their female batch mates. They were pissed up. The reason was genuine as usually in gsti mechanical you find girls to boys ratio going very very less than one. That leaves to very hostile situation some times.
Anyways seniors first asked me to give five slaps on gogi’ face. I was delighted. There were some old scores to be settled with him and his plump pink cheeks were already giving me some twisted itching on my palm. So I stated with the first one. He immediately gave a violent reaction. But the ball was in my court and there were still 4 to go. One by one I made him mr. pink by the end of it. It was awesome.
Seniors obviously were more experienced and they surely got the idea of our personal enmity.
So they turned the tables. To my great disadvantage they asked Gogi to reward the same to me. He was really mean. He gave me five tight punches that too with his rings on his finger. My skin was cut and it started bleeding.
Warden came out when he got the idea of some trouble brewing up. So those seniors ran for their life as they would have got detained for the same. A few were already been detained for ‘indiscipline conduct’. But I stayed and so was Gogi.
Warden saw our faces red and got the whole story. But he wanted names and for that he brought a bamboo stick with him.
He started with Gogi first. Asked him a couple of questions about his background and then he roughed him up with a few reprimands.
He didn’t say a bit.
“Why the fuck is your face red?” He asked assertively. He coaxed him. He didn’t say a bit. He cajoled him. He didn’t say a bit.
Then he lifted his slick and made a fearsome stance. He did not give a reaction. He was poised.
The Warden got on his nerves. So he gave a full, nice and square hit on this right arm, so hard that some how my fists tightened up. A second later I realized that I was so much in rage that my jaws clenched and my body began to shiver for retaliation; and all that for a guy who just five minutes ago hit me to bleed!
Guy saw me passively. He was really in pain. I could make out in spite of his serious attempt to conceal it.
I could not stop now. But I cant say the name of seniors. My small mistake in order to save my ass would cost them dear that too their career. I was in dilemma. So only thing that I could do was to turn warden’s attention towards me.

So I said to him in a low and gentle tone to stop hitting Gogi. He gauged the agony in my voice; so he came for me. Gave me one good blow on my shoulders, that sonofabitch.
After some moral bullshits which he gave us for good 30 minutes he left.

I took out my shirt which was wet from sweat and blood. I came to Gogi and lifted my hand for a hand shake. He brought be closer to give a hug. We ordered some tea.

That’s how I got my best friend in my college. From that day till now this moment; whenever one of us is in deep shit gets a sure help without saying.
