Randhir and Misha left for the club. On the way they picked up Parth too. 

"Vidushi ko bhi pick up kar lete hain na, mujhe company mill jayegi." Misha suggested and Randhir agreed.

"But Vidushi toh family dinner par gayi hai so she can't." Parth informed them. 

"Is that so, then what are you doing here! I mean hone wale damad ko toh saath mein hona chahiye tha na!" Randhir said teasingly thus Parth blushed. 

"Aare tu toh ladki ki tarha sharma raha hain!" Randhir pulled his leg when Misha chuckled hard. 

"Shut up, aisa kuch nahi hai!" Parth became embarrassed when Randhir laughed. Soon they reached the club and went inside and saw Karan, Sahil and others there too. 

"Hey Misha, how are you?" Sahil asked avoiding Randhir totally. 

"Kyu, subah college mein nahin dekha tha?" Randhir taunted him. 

"Kyu, Misha can't you speak, jo Randhir ko tumhare behalf mein bolna padh raha hai?" Sahil taunted him back. 

"Tu hum dono ke bich mein Misha ko kyu la raha hai?" Randhir asked angrily. 

"I am not talking to you!" Sahil replied curtly. 

"But I am." Randhir replied, taking a step towards him. 

"Come on guys, not again. I am tired of these." Parth said coming in between.

"Told him." Randhir replied curtly.

"Chil guys, yeh thanda lo aur dimag thanda karo." Karan said, forwarding the soft drinks. They were chit chatting when Misha came and sat down on a corner table.

"Ghar par bhi akeli aur yahan per bhi akeli! Isse achchha to ghar mein hai rukti!" Misha made a sad face.

"Lagta hai duniya achanak se andhi ho gayi hai jo ek khubsurat ladki itni bheed mein bhi akeli baithi hui hai!" A voice came thus Misha uppers her lashes and saw Rehan standing there. She was astonished to see him there when Rehan came to her. 

"Hi I am Rehan, Rehan Bajaj." Rehan introduced himself when Misha smiled brightly. 

"No need to give an introduction. I know you, everybody knows you." Misha smiles brightly.

"Oh it's an honor that a beautiful girl like you knows me." Rehan said with a smile. 

"I am Misha." Misha said shyly.

"Hey don't need to give your introduction too beautiful, warna khubsurti ki insult ho jayegi. Aur agar aapko apna introduction dena pade toh phir humari insult ho jayegi Miss Shekhawat." Rehan said in a flatourious way when a red hue appeared on Misha's cheek. 

"Aap mera kuch jyada hi tareef kar rahe hai!" Misha said shyly. 

"Meri nazar se dekho toh phir pata chalega ki kitna kam tareef kar raha hu!" Rehan said looking into her eyes thus her cheeks burnt.

"Do you have something?" Rehan asked. 

"No, I don't drink." Misha replied slowly. 

"So as I beautiful. Health comes first. Okay orange juice?" Rehan asked, thus Misha nooded hesitantly and he called the waiter.

"Thank you." Misha said as Rehan forwarded the glass at her. 

"The pleasure is all mine." Rehan smiled at her and Misha smiled too.

"Where is Ishika? I don't think she will be happy to see us together!" Misha said, looking around. 

"Why so? And moreover who is Ishika to decide with whom I'll talk or not?" Rehan asked, rolling his eyes. 

"Aren't you guys together?" Misha asked curiously. 

"Not anymore. We are breaking up." Rehan replied slowly. 

"Ohh I am sorry." Misha apologized. 

"Don't be, I am not. Actually, Ishika and I are not made for each other. Use bass apna social status banaye rakhne ke liye ek rich, famous aur handsome boyfriend chahiye. Jab ke mujhe ek aaisi ladki chahiye jo sahi maine mein mera partner ho naki koi show off. I want a better half, not a bitter half!" Rehan said playfully and both chuckled. 

"Waise Ishika chahe jaisa bhi ho uska choice best hai! You are rich, famous and handsome too." Misha said excitedly and bit her tongue next. 

"Shit kya bol diya, stupid!" She scolded herself. 

"I think it's my lucky day because a beautiful girl like you finds me handsome." Rehan said in a thick voice. 

"I-I am sorry, I didn't mean that." Misha stammered a little. 

"I wish you meant that only." Rehan hushed when Misha's cheeks turned red. They were chit chatting a little when Rehan asked her to dance.

"Dance, but I am not the professional one!" Misha replied hesitantly. She feels like her legs got heavier and she wasn't able to walk.

"So as me, issi bahane practice bhi ho jayega. Come." Rehan said, forwarding his hand when Misha held that nervously and they went to the dance floor.

Randhir was discussing something with his friends when his eyes fell on the dance floor and his blood started boiling seeing Misha was dancing with Rehan.

"Yeh Rehan aur Misha saath mein kaise?" Randhir asked, looking at them.

"Aur uss Rehan ki itni himmat wo meri bahan ke saath dance kar raha hai!" Randhir said in anger and about to go when Parth stopped him.

"Please for god sake Randhir don't create a scene here. Tu pehle se hi suspend hai upar se agar public place mein koi tamasha kiya wo bhi humare sabse bade competitor ke sath toh phir mamla aur bigad jayega. Ranawat sir aur principal sir jo teri punishment kam karne ki koshish kar rahe hain wo phir kuch nahi kar payenge. Team ke liye na sahi at least apne future ke bare mein soch kar ruk ja. I am begging of you." Parth said thus Randhir stopped there.

"Okay, I won't create a scene but I can't see my sister with that scoundrel too." Randhir said coldly and went to the dance floor next.

Misha and Rehan were dancing together when Misha was totally hypnotized under his spell. Rehan was praising her more and more and she turned totally red.

"Agar tum aur jyada sharmayogi toh phir main confused ho jaunga ki kaun jyada laal hai, gulab ka phool ya phir tumhare gaal." Rehan said in a honey coated voice thus Misha blushed hard. 

"Usse bhi zyada laal hota hai khoon ka rang, dekhna hai!" Randhir said from behind thus both Misha and Rehan looked at him.

"Bhai!" Misha became nervous to see Randhir there when Randhir pulled her at him. 

"What the hell are you doing with him?" Randhir angrily asked Misha, thus she gulped hard. 

"Randhir you can't treat her like that! She is not your slave! Bada bhai hone ka yeh matlab nahi ke tu sabke samne uska insult kare!" Rehan said firmly. 

"Yes, you are right. I don't need to scold her when I have the opportunity to break your bones." Randhir said coldly and held Rehan's coller. 

"Bhai what are you doing, just leave him." Misha panicked when Parth and Karan rushed to them.

"Yeh kabhi nahi sudhrega, iska toh roz ka hai!" Sahil shook his head. 

"Randhir kya kar raha hai, chhod!" Parth said when trying to separate them both. 

"Bola tha na panga nahi chahiye, wo bhi St. Stephen's ke saath toh bilkul nahi!" Parth said anxiously. 

"So the saviour Parth Kashyap is here to save you again Randhir!" Rehan taunted him.

"Kaun kise bachane aaya hai yeh tujhe abhi batata hun!" Randhir said furiously.

"Bhai, please stop it." Misha is almost on the verge of tears. 

"Kaisa bhai hai tu jo apni bahen ko rula diya! Misha I am sorry, it's all my fault. Mujhe tumhe dance ke liye puchna nahi chahiye tha. I think I should leave now and I think you should know how to behave with a lady." Rehan said and left the dance floor next. 

"Iski toh! Wo mujhe behave karna shikhayega! How dare he!" Randhir gritted his teeth.

"Leave him, I think we should go also." Parth said thus Randhir left too when pulled Misha along with him and Parth followed them.

Rehan came to his table where his friends were waiting for him.

"Keya Rehan, uss Randhir ko itni aasani se chhod diya! Achchha chance tha uska muh todne ka!" One boy said became upset. 

"No, you are wrong Sunny. Haan achchha chance tha uss Randhir ki tarah suspend hone ka! You idiot, agar main iss public place par kisi encounter mein pakda jata wo bhi apne sabse bade opponent ke saath toh phir college ke discipline committee mujhe bhi suspend kar deta, samjha!" Rehan said coldly. 

"Aur phir uss Randhir ki haddi todne mein utna maja kaha jo uski akad todne mein hai! Aur mujhe uska rasta mil gaya hai!" Rehan smirked devilishly. 

"Kaise?" Sunny asked confusingly. 

"Misha! Randhir ki bahen aur uski sabse badi kamjori! Aur ab uski kamjori meri takat banegi!" Rehan said with a cocky smile. 

"Wo kaise?" Sunny was still confused.

"Soch jab Misha mere liye Randhir ki against jayegi toh phir use Randhir ka kya haal hoga! Uski toh self confidence hi khatam ho jayega! On field or off field dono jagah hi wo mujhse harega! Too bad! Now you just wait and watch Randhir, jab tu yeh game mujhse buri tarah se harega!" And Rehan smiled evilly. 

Randhir went to the parking lot and punched his car so hard thus Misha panicked. 

"Bhai, yeh aap kya kar rahe hain?" Misha asked nervously. 

"Main kyu kar raha hu! Tu kya kar rahi thi uss Rehan ke saath? Don't you know he is our rival team?" Randhir asked angrily.

"Bhai wo main kuch bol pati isse pehle hi wo mujhe dance floor par le gaya tha!" Misha replied hesitantly. 

"Tu gayi hi kyu thi?" Randhir shouted thus tears rolling down from Misha's eyes. 

"Enough Randhir, stop shouting at Misha. Bahut ho gaya! You know Rehan and his dirty politics. Usne yeh sab kuch jaan bujh kar kiya hain, tujhe provoke karne ke liye. So tu koi galat kadam uthaye aur wo uska fayda uthaye. You know him!" Parth said became anxious. 

"I know, tabhi toh mujhe itna gussa aa raha hain! Hum dono ki ladai ke bich use Misha ko nahi lana chahiye tha!" Randhir said sternly.

"And you, stay away from that rascal. Understand!" Randhir said to Misha coldly when she nodded only. 

"All right, let's go home." Parth said and the trio left for home. 

                            * * * * * * * * * * *

At night Misha was laying on her bed and was thinking about the incident at the club. 

"Sirf ek dance hi toh kiya tha, kaun sa itna bada gunhaa kar diya!" She gulped hard when her phone beeped with a message from an unknown number. 

"Hi, hope everything is fine." Misha became confused to saw the message. 

"Who is this?" She messaged back. 

"Rehan." Misha almost skipped a beat to see the name. 

"How do you get my number?" Misha asked curiously. 

"Aare aap jaisi khubsurat ladki ka number hasil karna kaun sa mushkil kaam hain!" Misha felt her cheeks start burning again. 

"By the way, keya Randhir ne bahut jyada gussa kiya?" Rehan asked. 

"Thoda sa. Thanks for taking a stand for me there." Misha replied. 

"You are welcome. And I am really very sorry too. I should remember how impulsive Randhir is!" Rehan apologized. 

"No, it's not like that. Actually bhai is very protective towards me." Misha replied. 

"He should be. Apne bahen ko apne sabse bade rival ke saath dekh kar kisi ko bhi gussa aayega hi aayega. Agar meri bhi itni khubsurt aur peyari bahen hoti toh phir main bhi overprotective hota. In fact Randhir ne toh jyada kuch kiya nahi, main hota toh phir uski tange todh deta." Misha smiled brightly to read that.

"Then go and break your leg as a punishment! Lol!" Misha chuckled hard after sending it. 

"Hahahaha, you are too funny. But for you I can definitely do it." Misha's eyes widened to see that. 

"Aare nahi nahi, am just kidding." Misha replied anxiously. 

"Me too. Lekin agar koi aur tumhare saath dance karega toh phir main uska tang definitely todh dunga and I am not kidding." Misha felt an unknown sensation inside her after reading this. 

"Kyu?" Misha asked with a tromping heart. 

"I don't know. But aaj ke baad agar tum dance karogi toh phir sirf aur sirf mere saath and I mean it." Misha almost stopped breathing to read this. 

"But we are not dancing partners." Misha replied playfully. 

"Then be my partner." Misha felt her heart start beating faster after reading this. 

"Really?" Misha asked nervously. 

"I mean it. Wanna be my dance partner?" Misha felt like butterflies in her stomach. 

"Yes." Misha clicked the send button. 

"Yes, yes, yes!" Rehan literally jumped on his bed. 

"Okay then partner, let's become professional together." Misha smiled after reading it. 

"Okay." Misha replied with a smile. 

"Okay then, goodnight partner. Sweet dreams." Misha smiled brightly to read that. 

"Goodnight. Bye." She replied and kept the phone. 

Misha kept her phone on the bedside table and lay down on her bed. She smiled brightly as she felt very much happy after talking with Rehan. She felt all her grudges left suddenly and she felt very much light. She was trying to catch some sleep but sleep was far away from her eyes. She smiled shyly and remembered Rehan's words.

"Partner! Now we are partners now." She smiled sheepishly and lost in his thoughts. 

On the other hand Rehan was also awake. 

"So the game has just begun. Poor Randhir, use toh pata hi nahi ki uski kamjori aab meri taqat ban chuki hain!" And he smiled devilishly.
