Naina Singh Ahluwaliyaa, an eighteen year old Gudiya.... shy beautiful smart and merit listed girl had only two goals in her life....
One to make her parents and bhaiyya proud...and another is an empty bowl, just like her life that she feels to be incomplete...
Something is lost and she is on hunt for catching that missing thing...

Even after surrounded by tons of her batchmates for the sake of borrowing important notes or for asking out for dates, she always tried to hidden herself inside a shell....May be it was due to Naveen's over pampering and protectiveness that she never tried something on her own... Always it was either Naveen or her cousins forced herself to jump into the interesting and thrilled situation, only to hear a no from her...

But after entering Green Valley College of Management, it's was obvious for every student to learn to live with various colors of life...which seemed to be implied on Naina too..

On the first day of her college, she came into the limelight by balancing both side of credit and debit of the Balance sheet in a single go, obviously gaining all the attention of the lecturers, not wasting even an ounce of butter or holding kgs of buckets for it.....
It was new for her to stand up infront of crowd...Donno which angelic witch casted a spell on her that made her walk amongst those people....turning out the whole situation in her favour...
And now she is the "CR" of their batch....

After that she made two new friends, Ali and Pooja.... Actually it was Pooja who wasn't ready even a single minute to leave Naina, as she found one silent girl who could listen to her all banters with a smile on lips, not at all cutting her words in middle... Pooja was a single child to Mr and Mrs. Ghai, so it was her childhood dream to get a sibling for herself which didn't get realised due to Mrs. Ghai's beauty issues... And now, Pooja have Naina who is almost like a muted button, fixed at the TV channel.... And, all of you know that,
Punjabis loved disturbing muted manavs...

And the very next nirvanic thing happened when Naina's feet slipped in the way of destiny which directly took her towards "him"
Rajveer...
That is only thing she knew about him..
Ohh... How can she forget that criminal minded (Gunny) and handsome (Alekh) beamed man... sticking around him...
She hoped to see him again....
Talk to him again... That too properly this time...
Afterall she wanted to utter a heartful thanks to him for saving her favourite dress.... Not to forget she has to return his rumal as well...

Not that she had a crush on him...
that too not so soon either...
But she wished to have a glimpse of him, as he left a curiosity inside her heart....
Curiosity kills the cat and she actually turned into one...
Thanks to those pairs of honey brown eyes, for captivating her attension for a long duration radiating a sense of "apnapan" between them...

( Jisko bhi Rithesh ka chehra dekhna tha dekhlooo.... )

" Miss. Ahluwaliyaa....
Miss. Ahluwaliyaa....."
Rithesh called her in a high pitch...startling the poor soul...

And she stood up terrified....
'Zaroorat kyaa thi Naina, tumhe unke baarein mein sochne ki...woh bhi accounts class mein... Ab bhugtoo..."
Shw scolded herself....nervously tik taking the pen...

" Miss. Ahluwaliyaa, Can you elaborate,
In which account we should show the particular adjustment??...."

He asked little upset finding that the topper herself zoned out...
' itna bhi bura padhata Nahi hu main...'
He convinced himself...noting down again that he is the star lecturer of Green Valley....

Naina rolled up her eyes, performing the goomer and khatak through those orbes,
and saw Alii signalling her.... Indeed, he proved that a friend in need is a friend in deed....
she squeezed her pupils to seek his help, but Rithesh came and stood between them worsening the situation....

Naina - " Sorry sir.. woh question..."
Voice got stuck in her throat as her brain sent a message that the question itself is blank...
It's impossible to hit the right answer without knowing the question....

Rithesh taking a deep breath,
" Okay I will repeat my question... "
He repeated the question...for Naina's luck...

And Naina answered perfectly earning a smile from him....
Perks of self- preparation before attending the class picked her up from the trouble....
(Joh koyi nahi karta)

She sat on her place asking her mind to stop working now regarding the vote of thanks to be given to Mr. Rajveer....and concentrated on the class....

Lekin, writer thodi na.itne jaldi sub bhoolne dega....

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Tapping on Naina's shoulder, Alii tried to speak in a low tone...Librarian Briganza do have a set of ears resembling to their dear puppy, Brusli....
So why take a chance....
" Naina jii... Aapko konse books chahiye yeh toh hume batayiye aap... "

After finishing his sentence he looked here and there to catch Briganza's eyes warning him that silence must be maintained in library.....

Naina - " Woh kuch economics ke books he jiske notes phehle hi bana rakhne he mujhe.."
She tried to cover the actual matter and zoomed her eyes to see the three musketeers....Ahem...everyone knows especially which one😉

According to their knowledge the shower party was thrown by seniors... And the three musketeers were not running at that moment, but waiting for the right time to enter the scene...
That confirms only one thing,
They are from senior batch...
May be of second or third year...
She concluded her view on the problems putting a coma for the time being....

Ali - " pichle char din se aap roz yaha, lunch time mein aati he aur Bina koyi books liye chali jaati he .... Itne bhi kyaa notes banane?, Woh bhi college ke phehle hi hafte mein!!!..."
He asked confused with his new friend's behaviour....

Briganza straightening her specs, sharply looked at Ali,
" Silence.... "
She shouted awakening every student present in the library... and then kept her mouth zipped, as the echo of her voice taunted her back....

Naina mentally smacked her head, and thought may be it's not in her destiny to meet...otherwise she would have found him again, by now... She cant barge into every random class to find him...
Is he that important, Naina ?? Dost bhi nahi he woh tera!!! Aur bhaiyya ko pata chalega toh kyaa hoga...

She thought for a while, cursing herself at her stupidity and picked up one random book, carelessly,
" Yahi he chaloo..."
She walked out not waiting for him to follow...

Ali - " Ajeeb he... Woh toh Business Magazine leke gayi...Lagta he Pooja ji ka asar hogaya he Naina ji pe....."
He scratched his head looking at her retreating figure.....

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Pooja - " Naainuuu...
Aliii...."
She yelled at top of her voice.... checking something on her phone...

Ali brushing his hairs back,
" Ab kyaa hua Pooja ji... Yeh math kahiye ki Shah Rukh ki nayi film ke tickets mil gaya..."

Pooja - " Woh toh milenge hi... Abhi ke liye Yeh dekh, humare college ke insta group mein first day ka pics upload huye he...."
She chirped scrolling the pics to see her face... to note whether pimple present on her nose is looked blur or not.....

Naina was sitting silently, until now peeped inside Pooja's phone....with a hope....
She wanted to forget something right?
Kisiko yaad he???!!

Alii walked towards them
" Pooja ji, Aap phirse phone leke aagayi??
Aapko pata he na, agar pakdi gayi toh sem ke end tak phone wapas nahi milega!!!..."
He smacked her head out of habit and received free dragers from her...

Pooja muttered,
" Darpok " under her breath...

Naina excitedly,
" Mujhe bhi dekhna he... "

Pooja - " Yeh le..." saying this she gave her phone to Naina and started scolding Ali with love.... that how mobile is actually important in ones life...

For complete 3 minutes Naina searched for the one whom she wanted to see...and remembered he was with her when the pics were taken...behind tbe pillar.
Sadly, she returned the phone.....

Ali - " Aap itni udas kyun hogayi???..."
He asked with care...observinhg how her eyea lost the shine...

Pooja - " Isiliye Ali ki use holy khelne ka mauka nahi mila.... Koyi na Naina...
Agle saal hum senior honge na... Tab tujhko juniors ke saath hi milke bhegadenge..."
She teased Naina....pinching her cheeks...

And Naina smiled in reflex....

They got gelled up quickly in the span of 1 week... Ali's elder sister, Amaira was working in tbe same company which hired Naveen as a Project Manager.... As usual Naveen had a special talent that charmed Amaira and
It added one more reason for Ali to befriend with Naina so easily....
And obvio to Pooja's always unzipped mouth, that made Naina to speak up in every 15 short minutes...

Naina's smile got fixed at the thought of something....

She snatched Pooja's phone in one goo and began searching again...amusing Pooja and Ali... She never behaved like this. She was shy to ask a pen or to give a way to walk ahead...

Pooja - " Missed call... Aaj hua kyaa he tujhe?

Naina zooming one pic, asked
" Yeh..... Alii... Pooja...
Tum donone ise...."

It was Gunny's pic taken during their sarvajanic holy session... And in that pic he holding a cigarette in hand not caring to give a pose.... Anyone can tell that it was a candid one....

Alii taking the phone from hee to have a clear look,
" Naina jii... Yeh toh Gunny Bhaijaan he...
Humare pados mein hi inka ghar tha.... Bade hi nek dil ke aadmi he yeh... "
He uttered with respect filled eyes.

Naina - " Nek dil aue iska??..."
She said sarcastically remembering about the way he talked with her in library. That was quite rude ..
Quite nahi poora ka poora rude hi tha Naaanu... Bhaiyya sunte toh uske saare daant thod dete...

Alii - " Haan Naina jii... Humari chacha ke dil ke operation ka kharcha inhone toh bhare the... Teen saal phehle woh College ke bagal wali road he na jaha Maata Raani ka mandir he, wahi pe inhone ghar shift kardi...
College aane jaane mein aasan hoga sochke...."
He unwrapped Gunny's history which is known to him, to some extent ....

Pooja - " Matlab yeh humare senior he???..."

Ali - " Graduation toh isi college se hi kari he unhone... Uske baad ka hume bhi pata nahi..." then he suddenly turned towards Naina and asked,

" Lekin Naina ji inke baarein mein kyun pooch rahi he???..."
He requestioned to know why Naina is interested in Gunny and saw her dipped in some other thoughts....
And kept silent like always not wanting to disturb any person by digging deep into the matter....

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Another week passed...and Naina's quench to meeting Rajveer was not at all reduced by a spoon... Kehte he na joh haath mein nahi aata, uspe zyada hi man lagta he...
That's what happening with her...

Zoya ( Economics lecturer ),
" Miss. Ahluwaliyaa, collect the forms from everyone and by sharp 1 it should be on my desk...
Got it???..."
She asked showing off her Chinese eyes which was begging not to expand it more....

Naina nodded silently, and asked everyone to give away their forms...

Ali as usual filling Pooja's forms also,
" Aap is saal sirf dance mein participate karegi??? Aur kuch nahi???..."

Pooja - " Nahi Ali... Main aive aapne talent in subko free mein thodi na dikhaungi...
Sikander Mama ke dhabe pe standing singer banungiii..."
She swinged her hairs royally....

After collecting the forms, Naina asked Ali to submit his and Pooja's sheets...

Ali - " Naina jii...hum bhi Aapke saath chale??.."
He asked Naina remembering about Naveen's instructions to keep his Gudiya safe...

Naina - " Nahi Ali.. bus forms deke toh aana he...Waise bhi staff room pass mein toh hw.."
She said counting the sheets, so that none od them missed out.

Ali shaking his head, explained
" Naina jii... Zoya mam sirf hume nahi, MBA batches ko bhi padhati he...unka desk usi section mein he... Aapko waha pahunchne mein hi, poore bees minute lagenge..."

Pooja - " MBA aue humara buildings toh alag alag hi he... Yahaaaa se wahaaaa..... Aue wahaaa se yahaa... Chal chalke hi Mam itne patli huyi hogi na Aliii...."
She said maintaining a perfectly serious face, and then saw Naina Ali....

Naina was the first one to jump into the.pool pf laughter....and Pooja joined her beating on Ali's arm...

Ali - " Aap bhi na Pooja jii... " and then turned to Naina's side,
" Shyaad aapko pata nahi he... MBA ke students is taraf aate nahi he aur Graduation ke us taraf.... Kisine dekh liye toh panga hoga.... Aap chodiye ise...
Hum forms deke aate he..."
He took away the forms from her...

Pooja - " Ek hi toh campus he humara...."
She asked her doubt...

Ali - " lekin alag alag buildings...jiske beech woh bridge he na.... Yeh sub hum aap dono ko kabhi aaram se batadenge...
Filhaal yeh forms Mam ko submit kardenge hum.... "

Naina - " Mam ne toh mujhe kaha tha... "
She questioned doubting on tbe exchange of works....

Ali - " hum Aapke saath chalte he... Ismein toh aapko koyi problem nahi he na??..."
He asked genuinely and she agreed....

Before leaving, he looked down at Pooja,
" Pooja jii, jab tak hum dono lautke nahi aate, aap please humare khaatir kahi ghoomne math jaayiye, yahi rahiye aur..." And whispered,
" Apnw phone bhi math nikaliye..."
He warned her slightly behaving that he is still angry with her for bringing phone again...

And in return Pooja kissed on Ali's cheek, getting a dairly milk as a reward from him....

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Ali and Naina both were heading towards MBA block, with a air of silence prevailed between them....and for Ali's utter surprise Naina broke it with her words...

Naina - " Woh Alii..."
Shw started hesitantly not knowing whether to ask him or not...

Ali - " Haan Naina jii..."

Naina - " Tum aur Pooja ek dusre ko phehle se jaante ho.??..."

Ali with a beautiful smile, narrated his love story to her,
" zyada nahi bus 6 saal se.... School mein unit test ke time unse phehlibaar baat huii thi....tabse wahi baat kiye jaarahi he..."

Naina - " Aur tum sunte jaarahe ho..."
She liked his tone of talks, honesty mixed with love....in these few days of their journey together she really started admiring these couple...
They seemed cute to her...

Ali continued,
" Plus two ke results ke din, unhone hi propose kiya tha hume...."

Naina - " Aur tumne kyaa kaha?..."

Before Ali could answer her, a figure holding a building of books got collided with them And those books got shattered on the floor...

Ali picking the books,
" I'm sorry mam..." uttred figuring out the gracious lady to be some lecturer...

" It's okay....
You must be from new batch.??.."
She asked sweetly... lifting her head....

Naina - " Yes Mam..."

" Hii... I'm Shalini... Professor..." showing off her badge, balancing 5 books in left hand,

"Department of Mathematics.."
She chirped forwarding her hand, and left some other books to fell on the floor...

Alii collected the books, and Naina too helped him with the work.... introducing themselves too....
Shalini asked Alii to take the books to library which was at the exact direction of their destination.....and saw the hesitation in his eyes....

Shalini - " Any problem ??..."

Ali shortly explained the matter to her ..

Shalini - " Oh!!..." checking the time,
" It's 12.15.... Do one thing Naina... Just hide your id... Waise bhi abhi classes chal rahe honge waha, koyi gaur nahi karega...
Forms submit Karke, jaldi aajana... Thats it..."

Ali - " Hum...."

Shalini - " let her face it.. and be on time Naina..."
Saying this she pushed Naina towards the corridor.....

And Naina inhaled the oxygen before entering the red zone.....

After she left Shalini called someone to tell this whole sequence.....and warned to take care if something arrives on Naina's way....

Ali - " Mam, aapne kisko call kiya???..."

Shalini - " For the time being, Naina ke guardian angle hi samajhlook...."
She answered shortly....

1.05 pm....

Naina was on her way back to graduation block, she saw some beautiful paintings hung on the wall of some random.class....
Confirming that no one is looking at her, she peeked into the room like a happy kid left into an amusement park....enjoying the view.

Nodding her head, from left to right and from right to left, she had a look of all the paintings from the window and her eyes stuck at the Mirror placed at the end....

She changed her angle of standing to have a clear glimpse of the designor mirror.... Crystals were attached to it, amd by one look ahe guessed it must be someone's creative hand designed it so magically....

Admiring the view, she was about to turn something again caught her attention...
It was the same shirt that entered the library that day....She remembered quickly....
It's the same fabric Alekh was wearing that day....

Next second she followed the way opposite to mirror to get the exact location and found Alekh.... standing outside a class.....on one feet, like a kg student got punished for talking too much in class.....
She gave a mental laugh at his pitiful face....

She was about to move back, a thought crossed her mind...that if Alekh is here then he must be here too...
May be???
Her mind got blurred at the thought of meeting him again... Shooing away the butterflies trying to sneak into her tummy, she made her mind not to involve in any matters diverting her from studies....

It's just a thanks. Nah ki tum jung ladne jaarahi ho Naina...
Her heart whispered...and she listened to it willfully...

Taking cat steps, she reached Alekh...and widened her eyes, choking at the sight of Rajveer....
He was standing exactly next to Alekh, with red shot eyes....
She got goosebumps as his eyes seemed to be a weapon, that stabbed pot of Naina's excitement... She felt herself getting dizzy, and her went jelly....

Gunny - " What are you doing here???.... "
He yelled from behind dragging both Alekh's and Rajveer's attention towards them....

Naina who was already in shoke to witness Rajveer like a aag ka gola, now terrified to core hearing Gunny's voice....

Alekh running towards them,
" Abee marvana he isko.... Dheere baat kar.."
Warned Gunny earing a look from Rajveer and again stood on his one leg...

Gunny showing his back to Naina,
" Ab bol... Jitna kaam tha.. karke nikalna tha na... Yaha aayi kyun???..."
He asked not at all looking at her and Naina was hell confused at his behaviour.

Alekh held Rajveer's hand and put pressure on it lifted his left leg to gave a laath on Gunny's bum,
" Tu chup hi reh... Bachchi ko darayega...
Apun baat karta he..." saying this he asked Naina for the purpose of her visit...

Naina - " woh Zoya mam ko Cultural Club ka forms submit karne the... "
Shw answered calming down her panicked nerves... Firstly Rajveer's red eyes and the second one Gunny's besura bhootiya tone...
Two were enough to break any one's confidence...

Gunny - " Unke desk us taraf mein hw... Pooch ki yeh yaha kyun aayi?..."
He asked Alekh indirectly asking him to ask her!!!!!!

Alekh - " Usne yeh college join kiya... Aur iska haath...iske pair.. iske man...
Tujhko kyaa..." He taunted Gunny....

Naina heard some weird noise and lifted hee head to see gigling Rajveer which automatically brought a smile on her face...

Alekh - " Tera haath khaali he... Iska matlab tune forms submit kardi???..."
He asked normally

Naina - " Haan.. wahi se aarahi thi aur aapko dekha toh socha..."
She spoke occasionally marching her eyes towards Rajveer...to know what going inside his mind...

Alekh - " Lunch humare saath mein hi karte he chal...." saying this he dragged Naina along with him....

And felt some force stopping him....

Rajveer held Alekh's hoodie with a strict parental look....and raised his eyebrow...

Alekh showing his watch,
" Lunch time he baba... Itna bhi kator dil wala na ban... Waise bhi Nainaaaa...."
He called her...

Naina hummed still looking at Rajveer....

Alekh - " Tujhko bhook lagi he na..."

Naina shook her head in positive according to Alekh's signal...

Gunny - " Saala nautanki..."
Murmured... Knowing that how bhukkad Alekh is....

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

They settled in cafeteria away from tbe crowd, as per Rajveer's choice... as it was safe for Naina too...

Naina - " Bhaiyya, aap waha class ke bahar kyaa kar rahe the? ...."
She asked making food stuck in Alekh's throat...

Instantly Rajveer passed water to him and smiled at Naina...

Naina - " Aap has kyun rahe??? maine Kuch galat poocha???..."
She asked again...

Gunny - " tujhko yaha khane ke liye bulaya tha... Humara test lene Nahi..."
He again roared on her...

Naina walking back to her Phoolan avtar,
" Lena bhi nahi he...waise bhi Aapke paper mein toh anda hi niklega..."
She uttered in a tone that was audiable to three musketeers...

Alekh clapping loudly, kissed Gunny's cheek,
" Dekh... Dekh.. Meri behan kitne achche se phehechanti he tujhkoo..."
He boasted earning a look from him...

Naina - " Aapne mere sawal ka jawab diya nahi... Aapko class se bahar nikala tha?....."
She asked again, this time looking at Rajveer expecting him to talk to her....

Gunny - " Tum first bcom ki CR ho na??.. and Topper of Alosious (Naina's previous school)
He asked amusing Naina with his knowledge....

Alekh giving Najna some info,
" yeh Chalta, firta Google baba he humara... subka kundli rehta he iske pass..."

Naina - " Haaan... "

Gunny once looked at Alekh and then at Rajveer, cooking something in mind,
" Tests ke results aaye the...and Rajveer..."
He dragged purposefully....

Naina - Alekh - " Raaajveee!!!..."

Gunny showed his thubs down conveying that he failed in tbe test...
" That's why he was thrown out... "

Naina - " Kaise???..."
She asked getting surprised with his worda...

Alekh - " Wahii kaise??.."
He too repeated Naina's words...

Gunny - " Agar mahine mein ek baar teacher ko chehra dikhayega...yahi hoga na..."
He hided his smile hardly seeing how his words were effecting Naina....

Naina - " Aap classes jaate nahi ho??...."
She asked Rajveer...

Rajveer - " Jaata hu... " He stopped only to added,
" Jab man karta he tab..."

Alekh - " Joh sirf bees din mein ek baar karta he...yeh bhi bol na..."
He pinched Rajveer's cheek...and earned a slap on his back palm...

Naina - " Aap agar man lagake padenge toh definitely papers ko clear kardenge... Infact main toh kehti hu aap abhi se shuru kariye... Chaahe toh main apne bhaiyya ko bolungi aapko tution dede.... Woh toh...."
She said to Rajveer...

Rajveer caught her lips, squeezing it with light pressure, to stop her continuous talks, and husked,
" Zaroorat nahi he... "

Naina asked why through eyes....
And he read it perfectly...

Rajveer - " University ke topper Main u hi nahi bana.... I've my ways....Naina Ah Singh...."
He winked at her in end, skipping another beat of her heart....and then brushed her hairs mixing them in a weird manner...

Gunny - " Har saal gold medal iske hi haath mein pahaunchti he...woh bhi pichle 4 saal se.... (Bachelor's + 1st year MBA ) "
He said slightly tapping on Naina's head...

Naina - " Kaise???.."
She askee hurriedly...as her inner self believed that Rajveer can't cheat in exams...

Rajveer getting up from chair, passed her a glass of water,
" Jaldi jaavoo warna tumhara class miss hoga... "
He reminded her and walked out not before passing a silly smile to her....

Naina - " Ab ????..."
She asked... confusingly...

Alekh - " bole toh, " observing Rajveer's smile,
" Aage aage dekhoo hota he kya???....!!!...."
