Era - " Gudiya... Yeh kyaa bus aadhi roti...
Ek toh khale meri bachcha... college ka phehla din he, beechmein bhook lagegi...."
She lovingly caressed Naina's head who was gulping the glass of milk in hurry..

Naveen who just entered the dining hall, saw this and picked up another paratha from casarole,
" Fir chakkar khake girogi...toh main bilkul nahi aane wala tujhe utake ghar laane....
Woh kyaa he na meri nayi nayi job lagi he and Meri boss bahot khadoos he..." saying this he made his Gudiya eat another piece of paratha when she tried to open her mouth...

Shekhar - " Yeh achcha he... Tum do Maa bete bus meri beti ko aur mota banavoo..
Dekha nahii... Bilkul panda jaisi hogayi he... Galti se bhi PETA walon ne dekhli toh hume seedha jail mein daalenge...."
He shouted from the hall, muting his TV, teasing his daughter... so he can have his morning fun...

Naina instantly took a steel plate and saw her face which was a lil chubby unlike those zero figure models... She wasn't foody by birth and as you all guys can see, her dear mother and saga bhai took all food in the kitchen to dump in her mouth with extra ghee and cheese..

" Deooo...Na....Bhaayu... Maa panga dikha hu.kaa...." (Dekho na bhaiyya, Main Panda dikh rahi hu kyaa ???? )
She began dropping her precious tears, speaking in a aadha hindi language, as her mouth was still stuffed with paratha Naveen made her eat....

Naveen glared at his father once,
" Nahii meri Gudiya bilkul pari jaisi he... Moti toh bilkul nahi he..."
He kissed her head consoling her...

Era - " lagta he ki tumhare Pitashri ke chasma ka power badhgaya he... Unko toh chod hi de tu... Tere liye main aur ek paratha laau???."
She asked completely ignoring her dear ekalauta husband...

Naina jumping off her chair,
" Bus hogaya na... Warna college ke liye der ho jaayegi...."

Naveen - " Chal Gudiya... Main drop kardunga tujhe... "
He picked her bag just like he used to do since she started to go for kg classes...
She is still a kid for him....

Shekhar - " Tera office opposite direction mein he na... Main chod dunga.. waise bhi mujhe Mehra ke yaha jaana tha..."
He made an excuse so that he can be in peace that his daughter reached safely and it's his first day too.... for the college 😜

Naveen held her shoulder,
" Apna khayal rakhna Gudiya.. agar Zaroorat padhi toh mujhe ek call kardena... Main aajaunga..."
He tried to ease her up by conveying that her bhaiyya is always there for her....

And she nodded still in a deep emotions of excitement filled with nervousness...

Accounts Class....

Rithesh Karmakar - " So anyone....knows the answer just raise your hand..."
A voice went in air creating a pin drop silence in the class....
It's so common that students tends to zip their mouth whenever the questions asked about the subject related matter....

" Ahaa.... Are you guys afraid of something?
I hope I'm not looking like a ghost yaa koyi rakshas!!!
Don't act like kids... Agar jawab galat hua toh koyi hasega nahi aap pe... Kyu ki unmein itne bhi himmat nahi be joh yaha aake mere sawal ka jawab de...

So.... Anyone who wants to try???..."
He showed the marker pointing at a simple profit and loss accoubt which need to be prepared...

And saw a hand getting raised in the air... He was happy that atleast one student from the new batch showed their guts and saved his honour.... Otherwise he had to do the hardwork of solving and explaining the problem standing alone for half an hour...

Naina saw here and there....sticking to the bench, not knowing whether to step forward towards the board or not...

" Hey... Miss???...."

Naina meekly,
" Naina Singh Ahluwaliyaa..."

" Miss. Naina... Don't hesitate... " saying this he ordered her to solve the problem and she did in 10 minutes... without using the calculator which is the heartbeat of every commerce student....

She was feeling like oxygen level in whole class room turned to the lowest point in those minutes.... And with shaking hands she wrote everything need to be solved....

And turned around....only to get showered by series of claps followed...
Rithesh gave a positve smile appreciating her intelligence...

" Miss. Ahluwaliyaa... Great job... "
He asked her to take the seat and went on giving homework on the first day of the class.....

" Phitte mooohh... Phehla hi din aur inna saara kaam..."
Naina heard someone murmuring....and ignored it...taking down tbe notes...

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

In the lunch hour....

Najna was silently having her lunch remembering her old classmates...her old school....those days when she wasn't that alone as Naveen used to be beside her as his college was just in a few minutes walkable distance....

" Oyee... Missed call... Tu khana kharahi he yaa khana tujhko khana chahta he???... Itna udas kyun he tu??...."
A familiar voice came and sat beside her....

Naina saw the source of the voice,
" Aap ???..."

Pooja - " Aap nahi tum kaho mujhe...
Main hu tumhari benchmate Pooja Ghai, aur yeh he mera Ranjhaa... Aliii..."
She introduced a handsome man who was holding two.plates of rice with a puzzled face...

Naina - " Hii... I'm Nai...."
She began introducing herself...

Pooja - " Naina Singh Ahluwaliyaa... Tumhe kaun nahi jaanta... Poora class se leke aadha lecturers ka adda bhi tumhari naam ka wahh wahii kar raja..."
She spoke in a single.breath terrifying Naina...

Naina - " Main samjhi nahi... "

Alii - " Woh kyaa he na Naina, aapne subhah joh josh se Accounts ka problem solve kiya he na usise famous hogayi he...
Rithesh sir toh is college ka star lecturer he.."
He calmly explained Naina the real matter...

Naina - " Oh.. "

Ali - " Aap Chandigarh ki he yaa...."

Naina - " Gondal, Gujarat se hu..."

Pooja - " Wahaaaaa se ittnee dooor kyun???.."

Naina - " Woh bhaiyya ki job yaha lag gayi toh Papa ne bhi apna transfer yahi karaliya...

Woh SBI bank mein Manager he..."
Her lips carved into a beautiful smile telling about her small and sweet family....

Ali - " Sahi kiya aapne... Parivaar ke bina rehna it's just impossible... Warna bhaiyya bhi akele yaha hote..."

Pooja - " Main toh apne Mummijii....."

Before she could complete her line...there was a commotion...

Few students ran out of the class to see what's actually happening outside....
Within few minutes the whole college was in chaos... every one was moving here and there not knowing exactly what to do...

Ali - " Pooja jii aur Naina ji.. aap dono yahii rukiye... Hum dekh ke aate he..."
He left making sure that they both are safe...locking tbe door from outside as there was no one inside...

He was about to go towards the staff room, collided witb a noodle haired man, that too of rwd and purple mixed hair colour, with two heavy weighted headphones hung on his should....giving Ali all kinds of weird vibes...

Ali holding the pillar so that he dont kiss the floor,
" Kyaa bhaii jaan... Aap dekh ke nahi chal sakte..."
He said with a pissed tone.... raising his tonw to a higher one...

" Yaha subki phati padhi he aue tujhe dekh ke jaane ki lagi he???...
College mein Go Green walon ne time bomb fit kiya gaya he... Seedhe ground ke taraf jaavooo...
Warna dekhte dekhte uper jaavoge..."
He said in a hurry and flew away...

All the students who were carelessly waiting in corridor know the matter polished tbeir shoes and ran to save their life....

Not wasting a single second, Ali left for the classroom and took Naina and Pooja with him... without telling the actual reason as he didn't wanted them panic....

Pooja - " Aliii.... Hua kyaa he??
Sub itna bhagam bhagh kyun machaya hua he??. Koyi sher yaa cheeta campus mein gjusa he kuaa ???..."
She asked naughtily nudging worriee Alii...

Naina - " Pooja...agar sher aaya hota tou hume u bhagahte thodi na... Zaroor Kuch aue hua he..."
She said waiting for Ali's response...

Ali - " Woh sub hum aapko baadmein samjhadenge... Aap dono please jaldii yaha se chaliye... "
By then he saw few students of his batch, in canteen and,

" Aap dono ground ki taraf chaliye hum abhi subko leke aate he... Aur kahi bhi rukna math..." saying this he went towards othee students..

Pooja - " Arrghhh...yeb Ali bhi he na.. achche se lunch karne bhi nahi diya... Kabse bhagake le jaaraha... kuxh bata hi nahi raha..."
She collapsed on a chair and started giving looks to Ali...from distance...

Naina - " Ali ne kaha na woh hume batayega...filhaal ground chalte he na... "
She tried to follow Ali's words but this brat seemed to be not effected by her words....

Within few seconds, they saw all the students running as if there is any marathon going on and caught Ali guiding them....

Alii tapping Pooja's shoulder,
" Aap dono ab bbi yahi he???..."

Pooja dramatically,
" I'm tired Alii... Ab nahi hoga... Kal ground dekhlenge... Abhi chaloo lunch ka...."

Ali - " Campus mein bomb he..."
He shouted giving a mild heart attack to both the girls...

Pooja - " Mummy..."
She cried looking at Alii...

Naina - " Mujhe Bhaiyya ko phone karna he...Mumma unko bhu karna he...
Aue Papa ko bhi.... Conference karleti hu...."
She too started sweating badly gulping down her tears...deeply shaked by the news that anytime she will be cut into pieces and served to hungry sharp beaked birds and foxes...

Alii banged his head with the pillar and,
" Please aap dono rona band kariye...and jaldii se ground tak chaliye... Sub wahi he..."
He took them towards the way theur seniors guided them.....melting in the ocean of their new batch....
Fresher batch😜

Pooja - " Hey Rabba... Mera kyaa hoga agar bomb ne abhi.pootne ki raag japne lagi toh?
Mere Chachajii ka joh business he usko sambhalega kaun???... Daba toh woh akele chala na sakte... Bunty thodi na yaha rukega...uskontoh NRI..."
She went on and went on eating Ali's head....

Ali - " Pooja jii... Aap kucb dere ke liye chup reh sakti he.... Naina jiii bhiiii....."

He turned around and observed Naina id no more with them....

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Few minutes agoo.....

Najna was chanting devotionally all the mantras her mom taught to her every evening... praying to save her Bhaiyya's Gudiya...
As Naveen recites she is still a kid...and it's not her proper age that she has to meet the Ganpati Bappa...
She also made promise that her hands won't break any Naveen's gullak and steal money from Papa's pocket to eat ice creams...
She also counted the homely works she would perform if she survived this situation....
And at last promised not to see romantic movies of SRK by hiding from her family....

God listened to her cute prayers instantly as he was free...munching popcorns...
And granted her wishes....with a bonus...

Tan tadaaaaaaaa.......

Alii...Pooja...Naina...were crossing the library area when Naina's eyes saw someone entering the room....

Naina - " Yeh admii... Bahar bhagne ke badle ander kyun jaaraha???... Bechare ko bomb ke baareib mein pata nahi hoga shayaf...

Main hi bachaleti hu use..." thinking so she changed her route without informing Ali Pooja....

Opening the door of library....she was welcomed witb a pitch silence...

She tried to call that "someone" but her voice got stuck in her throat as few creepy noises reached her ear....

She took her steps back and found the door closed automatically from outside....and tried to open it with all her strength by beatint that poor door....

Naina - " Bhaiyya.... Main firse phas gayi..."
She talked to herself on the verge of crying,
feeling helpless....and scared.... thinking of all possible ways that were enough to kill her...

By then a bulb got lightened up in a corner horrifying the moment...and she saw few shadows, passing that corner....

Holding her heart she took tiny steps not to forget chanting the Hanuman chalisa...

And saw....

His face was hidden by the book he was holding.....
She looked around to know who are they....

" Only 10 minutes left... I think We should goo...."
A voice pierced her ear...

He continued,
" Elections pass aarahe and Apun ko nahi lagta ki hume yeh sub Karna chahiye.....
Lala Sahab subka kaan kheechenge..."

Talking randomly the guy opened a door in that corner from wherre ground was partially visible....

Her eyes glowed like a gem seeing the view, thinking that she will be out in few minutes and lifted her feet towards the gate....Not bothering to know who those people are...

She was heading towards the door, just then her eyes fell on third person standing in opposite direction, aiming at the man sitting on the chair (Rajveer) with a sharp dart....

Brushing his hairs,
" Agar har baat ke liye unse poochna padhe toh hum kutte ke pooch he?
Bhoolo math... Hum YuvNeeti se he..
Hum unke aane wale Kal he...
Humara bhi koyi Principles he..."
His tone was filled with frustration...

Naina was not at all bothered about these talks... Her goal was fo reach thw door and get out this dark world...

She was about to slip under their nose, her eyes Once eyed at the man holding the dart and then at the silent man blocked by the book....and before the dart hit the person, Naina somehow calculated this and reached him in a fraction of a second, accidentally extending her palm in middle.......

They both fell on the floor, letting few books drop on them....with the sudden action....
But Naina felt no pain in her body, not even her leg, hands,stomach chest.... except in her palm...
Did something happened to it??? Book gir Gaya tha kyaa??.
She thought and a second of flashback came in front of her eyes where the dart penetrated into her palm....

She cried opening her mouth into the widest one.... puncturing everyone's ear..present there...

Gunny, the man who threw the dart, came running and held the rack's head which was ready to hug the two....and Alekh, the one graciously held the door, helped Gunny as the cupboard was heavier to be held for a longer time....

Naina - " Bhaiyyaaa....."
Her highpitched loudspeaker gave no space to think for the victim(Rajveer) who was stuck above her....

He took all the burden of books fell on them so that they wont hurt this girl...
Girls are sensitive by nature....

But why is she crying... He thought.
Not knowing the exact reason, he tried to make her stand gently.... not having a glimpse of her...

Gunny - " Aloo... Bring the first aid..."
He said hurriedly, looking at her bleeding palm...and Alekh quickly made his move....

" Tension na le...Mujhe kuch nahi hua..."
The hot hunk whispered.....thinking that his friends are too much.
He is perfectly fine...

Alekh coming in a wind speed,
" Tumhe nahi.... Iskoo.... " uttering this he sat on tbe floor and caught Naina's hand..

Then the man had a clear cut view of Naina who was taking hiccups disturbing Alekh's treatment..
She looked like a innocent kid with over developed body.... may be she had too much of complain...
Her hairs were perfectly Hugging her damp face, and milky skin of hers now deviated to a red one...along with that nose...due to her constant crying...

Naina - " Woh nahi lagana.... It hurts...
Bhaiyya... Unko bulavoo..."
She took back her hand looking at the anticeptic....

Gunny - " Itna dar tha toh beechmein aayi hi kyun???.. "
He screamed his lungs out, totally irritated with the sudden accident....amd her crys....

Naina shrinked her eyes and gave a danger took to him, pausing her weep for a minute,
" You bloody murderer... You tried to kill him.. maine unko bachaya toh ab mujhpe gussa nikaloge...
Wait... I will call police.... "
She too shouted matching his tone...taking him by surprise... Nobody ever dared to talk to him like this...

Alekh laughed his lungs out seeing Gunny's funny face dipped in shock... and tried to clean her wound....

Naina leaning backwards,
" Noooo... Keep that away.... "
she wiped her continuously flowing tears in another hand...

Alekh - " eee Yedii... Shanpatti nahi dikhaneka... Apun ko gussa aayega toh..."
He too tried to scar her...by widening his eyes acting like a rowdy....

Naina again shrinked her eyes,
" Toh ???..."

Alekh - " Toh kyaa ??...."

He felt a tap on her shoulder and saw the source of disturbance.... He got up giving space to his dear friend whom she saved not caring about herself....
His face was filled with seriousness...

The man took Alekh's seat, and grabbed Naina's hand....with force...

" FRESHER???..."
He asked in a rough tone....locking his eyes with hers.....

She nodded still in a pool of tears...

"NAAM...."
The voice asked again hypnotising her with his chocolate eyes....

" NAINA AHHH SINGH...."

She choked in middle as the his hands already started working and kept the cotton ball drenched in antiseptic on her wound... She couldn't add Ahluwaliyaa too as her eyes got closed the very next second due to pain and he did observed the way she curled her toes untill he finished her dressing.... It looked cute to him....

After finishing the task....

" Rajveer.... "
He husked to which her eyes automatically got opened....and again met with his...

Naina - " Huh!!!..."

Gunny - " Iska naam he..."
He gave the background dialogue...

Alekh tapping her head,
" Main Alekh... Aue yeh..." pointing at Gunny,

" Gunny..."

Naina saw Gunny with doubted eyes still giving him killer look...

Gunny - " It's Gunraj Singh Randhawa....
Main bus board pe ishara lagaya tha...jiske neeche Raj tha... Tum nahi aati toh it would have been a bull eye..."
He sounded really disappointed...

Alekh - " Pichle char saal se tu yahi bol raha... Aaj tak laga nahi..."
He made a fun of him and saw none of them supporting him...

Gunny - " Hogaya???
Abhi chale Raj... waise bhi kaafi Late hogaya..." saying this he left the room... without waiting for answer.....

And Rajveer followed him not even once glancing at Naina....

Alekh - " Ee Yediii... Sun... "
He called Naina...

Naina - " Haa..."

Alekh - " Aglii baar aisa achchi cheese na karneka...warna apun tera baal nochlega... " warning her sweetly he too left her alone...

After few seconds...Naina remembered the purpose of her visit...

Naina - " hey ganpati bappa....
Bomb ko toh main bhool hi gayiui..." wiping her remaining dried tears she took a flight towards the ground....

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Just outside the building....

Naina reached the place and saw Alii arguing with a guard...

Alii - " Dekhiye... Humari ek dost ander phasi huii he aur aap hume aise kaise nahi jaane denge...."
He tried to push the gaurd and stopped suddenly as he saw Naina entering yeh assembly area....

Naina - " Aliii...."
She called....

Alii - " Naina Jii...aap us taraf se aayiye... Yahaa kisimein insaaniyat naam ke chese nahi he... aane nahi denge aapko...
Aur ground ka gate bhi band kardi he in logone....

Hum sub yahi phase huye he... bahar jaaparahe he...."

Naina took another long way and was about to enter the area where everyone was standing......

A strong muscular hand pulled her waist witb a jerk...
And hided her behind the wall so that none caught them like this...
The space was so much tiny that they were forced to stay in that position..

Naina - " Raaajveeer...."
She whispered blinking her eyes, to make herself sure that she isn't dreaming.....

He was looking like a shooting star slowly sliding on her sky....
That look of seriousness long vanished from his eyes and now they are beaming with some soft emotions..
That's what she concluded....

Rajveer - " Last time Gunny ne Aloo ke bum pe dart maara tha.."
He uttered dropping a smile melting her heart.....

Naina was still gauging at him like a doll who is only allowed to blink her eyes...and see the beauty...
It was the first time that someone that too a man came so close to her...that she could hear his heart beating...
Shhh!!! Naina... It's your heart...
Woh baj raha jaise ki koyi band ho....
Her mind snapped her...

Rajveer - " Tumne meri aankh, naak shayad sir... 'Jaan'... Bachayi he...

Toh I thought i should save you too..."

He again whispered tightening his hold on her waist....he felt himself loosening with the soothing feel that emerging from their closeness....
And also noticed how deeply she was statued by his presence....and found it some what interesting....

He blew some air on her face to bring her back to the real world...

Naina still not altering their position,
" Woh kaise???.."

He turned her head and showed her the nazara... where everyone was showered with coloured water.....

Batch of senior students were standing on the first floor holding the buckets and pipes containing colored water.....and shouting 'welcome' to their new junior batch....

Rajveer - " It was just a prank... "
He smiled for the first time seeing her cheeks getting blown up like a balloon...crystal white in colour with a little pinch of red blush....

She was having the view of holy on the first day of her college..and thought she would have been in the same position if Rajveer didn't showed up to save her...
Her favourite white colored dress painted in different colors..
She imagined..... Ohhhh... Noo....

Her imagination was letting those already aired cheeks look delicious....
He donno what made him do so... He leaned towards her face and brushed his lips on her cheek...for mere three or four second.....not at all giving a proper kiss.....just feeling her skin below his lips....

Rajveer - " Thank You for saving me...
Naina Ahhh Singh......"
He winked at her, with a smirk and parted away from her shoving her hand with his rumaal.....

And she stood in a wonderland in the effect of first kiss!!!!...With her hand on her cheek....puzzled...
