Wednesday..

"Girls and boys , as you all know this is your first year in college and we all don't know each other properly. So to know each other better , we seniors have planned freshers week for you all. Each day you have to dress up according to the theme and after the classes we will arrange some games for you all", Jay , the cultural head said.

" Participation in this week is not compolsory ,but the last day which is freshers party, you have to dance with a partner and it is compolsory. So choose your partners and prepare you performance. It should be a couple dance", Harshita said.

"Freshers week is starting from next week and the dress code for all the days will be displayed on notice board, so have a look there. You have to give your names to Harshita for couple dance by this saturday", Jay announced.

"And guys , you will be judged every day according to the dress code and your participation in each games. MR. AND MISS. Fresher will be decided  according to your performances on daily basis. Dance performance which you will be doing in freshers party is not included. Price for that will be given different", Harshita announced.

All were happy hearing the announcement of Freshers party leaving one. Diya is scared. Neither she knows to dance nor she has any friend for whom she can ask to be her partner.

"I can be your partner Diya", Farhan said while coming in front of Diya when she was in her dreamland.

"Thank you , but I am not participating in this", Diya said.

"It is compolsory Diya", Farhan stated the matter of fact.

"I will go and talk to Harshita. If she won't agree then I will talk to the HOD", Diya said and went from there.

Farhan just shrugged her shoulder and looked at Diya.

"I can be your partner", Priya said while rolling the end of her front hair.

"I already have a partner but thanks for an offer", Farhan said with a sweet smile.

"She is your partner , who just rejected your offer and went?", Priya asked with a smirk.

"She will come back don't worry", Farhan said to Priya and went away.

On the other side after class Diya went to Harshita to talk to her.

"Harshita , can you please come with me? I want to talk to you?", Diya said.

"Execute me guys,  I will just come back ", Harshita told to her friends and went with Diya.

"Harshita, I don't want to participate in this competition,  Diya said.

"It is compolsory Diya",Harshita said.

"Harshita , you know I am married , so please understand I cant do this couple dance", Diya pleaded.

"Diya , rules are rules and I can't change them for you", Harshita said and went away from there.

Diya even talked with her HOD regarding this couple dance theme but her HOD very firmly told her that she can't help her in this matter.

Diya went home and thought to talk to Tarun regarding this.

****************************
At night...

"Diya , pack my clothes for a week. I have to go to Lucknow", Tarun said.

"Why?", Diya asked confused.

"My boss has fractured his hand and someone has to go there to pay the bills and also to select the item for festive season.  So I have to go", Tarun replied.

"Oohh, when you have to leave?"Diya asked.

"Monday morning i have early morning train and I will come back by Sunday evening", Tarun said.

"Oohh ok", Diya said.

"Diya , if you want I can call mom. You won't feel alone", Tarun said.

"No, Tarun ji , it's ok", Diya said with a sad face.

"Don't be sad. It is just a matter of one week", Tarun said.

"Ya, but we will miss you",Diya said.

"We will do video call every night,ok", Tarun said.

Diya just smiled and hugged him.

"Chalo let's sleep now", Tarun said coming out of the hug and lying on bed.

Diya too went towards her side of the bed and both of them slept.

***********************

Saturday..

"Who all have given there names please come and stand with your partner in a queue", Harshita announced.

All the students in the class stood with there partners in a queue and only 3 girls and 5 boys were remaining.

"Guys , now you have to pick up the chit from these bowl in which a dance form is written. You have to perform this dance form with your partner and yes guys you have to even get ready according to the dance form", Harshita said.

All the couples took there chit and the people who have still not decided there partners are sitting on the desk.

"So girls , now you have to select your partners out of this 5 guys", Harshita said.

Both the girls selected there partners and now only Diya is left out. Without thinking anything further she chooses Farhan.

"Diya , this is the last chit available. So you have to perform salsa", Harshita said .

Diya just nodded her head and the two boys have to perform solo.

"Diya , we will start our preparations from monday", Farhan said.

"Ok", Diya said.

"Ok then bye and ya I will select the song", Farhan said.

"Ok and Farhan one minute", Diya stopped Farhan who was going.

Farhan stoped in his track and turned towards Diya. 

"As you know , I have a daughter , so I have to go home early. So if you don't mind then can we bunk the lat class and practice in auditorium? By doing this we can even prepare our dance performance and I can reach home on time",Diya said

"I am cool with it. No probem", Farhan said with a smile.

Both of them bid bye to each other and went home.

*********************************
Monday..

"Bye Diya , take care and if you can't handle everything alone then call mom", Tarun said while taking his bag.

"I will take care and call me when you reach", Diya said waving at him.

Diya took her bag and locking the door ,went to college.

"Hi", Farhan said while taking seat beside Diya.

"Hellow, did you decide the song?", Diya asked.

"Ya , it's done and there is no  class after 11 but there is a problem", Farhan said.

"What? ", Diya asked.

"After class, activities are going to be held in auditorium so we can't practice there", Farhan said.

"Ok , then we will practice in this class as all the people will be in auditorium so class will be empty", Diya suggested.

"Ya , that's a nice idea", Farhan said.

Soon the classes got over and students started walking towards the auditorium. Diya and Farhan are only people present there.

Farhan locked the door and came and stood in front of Diya.

"I have never danced in my entire life and I have no idea about this dance form", Diya said nervously.

"Relax Diya and I am a very good dancer. I will teach you", Farhan said.

Diya just nodded her head.

"Just follow my instructions and most important thing in this dance is eye contact so don't leave it for even a second", Farhan said.

Diya again nodded her head and started doing the dance as per Farhan's instructions.

"So for today it is enough. This are the basic steps in this dance form and from tommorow we will practice according to the song", Farhan said.

Diya nodded her head and after taking her bag started walking towards the door.

"Diya wait", Farhan shouted.

"Yes", Diya said while turning towards him.

"Diya , we have to go for dress selection", Farhan said while scratching his neck.

"Ok , we will go there once we get perfect with the dance ", Diya said.

Next 3 days went in same pattern. Both of them use to practice for 1 hour after the classes and today is Friday which means tommorow is freshers party.

"Farhan , let's go and get the outfits" Diya said.

"Ya come ,let's go", Farhan said.

Diya started walking towards her scooty but stood when Farhan called.

"Diya, don't tell me you are coming on your Scooty? ", Farhan said in shocking tone.

"Yes , I am. Why?"Diya asked confused.

"Diya , you ride at the speed of 20 km/hr, were even a person on his cycle can overtake you", Farhan said while laughing.

Diya just gave him an angry look. Farhan controlled himself.

"Ok sorry , sorry. You are coming with me on my bike. So that we can buy our things fast and if time permits then we can have reharsals once", Farhan said.

Diya noded her head and sat behind Farhan. Diya felt someone is clicking there photo. She looked around but couldn't find anyone there.

After an hour of roaming around they found the perfect dress for themselves. Farhan even took Diya for coffee. Diya was rejecting the offer but Farhan was adamant.

"Diya , it's already 12:30, your daughter must have come home. So how should we practice now?", Farhan asked.

"Farhan , can you come with me to my home? We can practice there", Diya suggested.

"Are you sure diya? ",Farhan asked.

"Ya ya , I am sure. Come let's leave", Diya said.

Both of them reached Diya's place by 1 and after parking there vehicle they went towards Diya's home. Diya picked Bhavika from her Rita's home. Rita saw Farhan entering Diya's home with Diya but didn't bother to ask her.

"Mom, who he",Bhavika asked Diya looking at Farhan.

"Hey baby, I am Farhan. Your mom's freind", Farhan said coming down to Bhavika's level.

Both of them did handshake and then Diya gave water to Farhan and took Bhavika to change.

After giving Bhavika something to eat, Diya and Farhan started with there practice.

After practicing for 2 hours they both were happy and confident about there performance.

"Diya , I can't belive this is the first time you are dancing. I mean you dance so good and I must say you are a quick learner", Farhan said while collapsing on the couch.

Diya just smiled at his comment and when she realised something she got up from the couch shouting.

"What happened Diya ?", Farhan asked while looking scared at Diya.

"Farhan , our party is at night and Tarun ji is also not here. Where should I leave Bhavika? I can't leave her at my neighbours house also", Diya said while looking tense.

"You can leave her at my place. My parents will be very happy to take care of her", Farhan suggested.

"No , no I can't trouble your parents", Diya said.

"You are not troubling them. They will be very happy if Bhavika comes there and both of them love kids alot. So drop her to my place and no more arguments now", Farhan said with no more argument look.

Diya agreed after sometime and after giving his adress to Diya , Farhan went home.

**********************
"Is this Farhan Ahmed ' s home?", Diya asked the lady in her late 40's.

"Yes, I am his ammi. Who are you?", that lady asked.

"Diya , you are on time. Very good", Farhan said coming to the door.

"Oohh , you are Diya. Come inside", Farhan mom said welcoming Diya.

Diya came inside and sat on the couch were as Bhavika went to Farhan.

"Farhan keeps on talking about you", Farhan mom said with a smile.

Diya just smiled at her and they talked for another 5 minutes.

"Bhavika, don't trouble aunty and be a good girl. I will be there in 3 hours and sleep for sometime ok", Diya instructed Bhavika.

"You don't worry Diya , we will take care of her. All the best for your performance", Farhan's mom said.

Both Farhan and Diya bid bye to Bhavika and Farhan ' s mom and went to college on Farhan's bike.

******************************
"Don't be nervous Diya , we will rock the floor", Farhan said looking at the nervous Diya.

"And the next performers are Farhan and Diya", the anchor announced.

"Diya , just look in my eyes while performing and have trust in me", Farhan said taking Diya's hand.

Both of them went to the stage holding hands and soon there performance started.

They both performed like a pro and no one could tell that they have just learnt this dance by them self in a week. During the whole performance not for once they broke the eye contact.

"So guys this was the last performance of the day. Now I would like to invite our chief guest Mr.Shankar on the stage",the anchor announced.

"And the award for the best dance goes to Farhan and Diya" the chief guest announced.

Both of them couldn't believe it for a second and then both jumped in a joy. Both hugged each other and then went to stage to take their  trophy.

"You guys danced so well", one of the girl from there class said.

"You both look so good with each other", other one said.

They got many compliments like that. After having there dinner they both went home.

"Momma, you won,  Bhavika shouted as soon as she saw Diya with the trophy.

"Congratulations both of you", Farhan's mom wished them.

"Thank you", both said at the same time.

"I hope she didn't trouble you much", Diya said to Farhan's parents.

"No ,she is a very well behaved child and we enjoyed our time with her", Farhan's dad said.

"Diya , if you don't mind can I tell you something?", Farhan's mom said with hesitation.

"Yes aunty tell", Diya said.

"Diya , can you bring Bhavika here whenever you are free. We both love playing with her", Farhan's mom requested.

"Yes aunty why not", Diya said.

"Thank you", Farhan's mom said.

"Now aunty , we have to leave. Thank you once again for taking care of her", Diya said.

"Diya , I am coming to drop you", Farhan said.

"No ,there is no need of that", Diya said.

"Diya, don't argue on that and let Farhan come to drop you", Farhan's dad said.

"Bye nani, bye nanu", Bhavika said with a big smile.

"Nani and  nanu?", Diya asked confused.

"Actually she was calling us uncle and aunty and we didn't like that. So we told her to call us nanu and nani", Farhan's mom said.

(In English nani and nanu means maternal grandparents )

Diya just smiled hearing that.

Both Diya and Bhavika bid bye to Farhan's parents and went to there home.

After 15 minutes they reached home and Farhan bid them bye.

As soon as Diya and Bhavika entered there home, they got surprised.....
