Naina reached school with Preeti and Swati more relaxed and happier after their last day call. Sameer was the first person she met at the gate and greet him with a smile. Seeing the smile on her face, it washed away all the worries he had. They all moved together to auditorium for last minute preparations

Preeti: Chal Naina tu jaa ab taiyar ho ja... aaj teri performance bhi hai

Naina : Haan, mein toh bhool hi gayi thi... Tu saath chal na, meri help bhi kar de please

Preeti and Naina left for the dressing room which was on first floor... since the normal classes was not happening so the whole corridor was issued for the participants to change and dress up for cultural competition from other schools also.

Other school girls also reached there and headed towards the rooms assigned to them for change and makeup.....

A girl from another School (same school where Kartik was studying) : Dekh yaar, vo jo saamne se aa rahi hein na, vohi he topper Naina, jisne kal Kartik ko haraya tha...

Sunaina : Dikhne mein to behenji types hi hai.. are you sure she is the topper?

Mitali: Haan Yaar, iski photo dekhi thi maine is baar newspaper mein... Board results mein top kiya hai...

Sunaina : "whatever...." With attitude... "Aaj dekhna mein kaise ise hara kar Kartik ka badla leti hun... He is so upset since yesterday.." ( Sunaina and Kartik are close friends)

Mitali : Mushkil hai... maine suna hai voh kabhi nahin harati... kisi se bhi nahin

Sunaina: Aaj mere western dance ke aage dekhna usaki chhutti ho jayegi

Mitali : Par maine suna hai who kuchh classical songs ke combination par dance kar rahi hai... & yes, she is pretty good in dance....

Sunaina (in anger) : Toh tu kah rahi hai ki main isase haar jaaungi.......... how dare you?

Mitali knowing her anger : are nahin nahin... mein toh bas tujhe samjha rahi hoon ki dushman ko kabhi kamjor nahin samjhana chahiye.....

Sunaina gets into thinking that what if she also lost to her like Kartik : Yaar kuchh toh karna hi padega to be on a safer side...

An idea clicked in her mind and she told to Mitali.

Mitali : Nahin yaar, pakde gaye toh event se baahar nikaal denge.. School se aur daant padegi...

Sunaina : Kuchh nahin hoga... mein hoon na.. aur waise bhi mere charm ke aage achchhe achchhe pheeke pad jaate hai..... phir mere papa bhi to itane bade industrialist hai iss shehar ke ..... mein sambhal lungi agar kuchh hua to....

Mitali nodded in yes and ready to help her bossy friend.,

Naina in her dressing room : Preeti make up to ho gaya aur tu ne hair style bhi bana diya. Chal mein washroom hokar aati hun tab tak tu yeh sab samet de... mein change bhi wahin kar lungi.....

Preeti : Haan ja... aur jaldi se aana.. saying this Naina left to washroom taking her dress to change

Sameer knock on the room and Preeti opened the door and came out.

Sameer: Preeti pandit tumhein bula raha he... actually aaj Naina ka kaam tum sambhal rahi ho na toh isliye usse kuchh help chahiye... par agar tum yahan busy ho toh mujhe bata do mein usaki help kar dunga

Preeti : Nahin... mera kaam toh ho gaya hai... bas Naina aa jaye.. par koi nahin mein jaakar dekhti hun Pandit to kya help chahiye...

Saying this she left with Sameer towards auditorium after just closing the room without any lock...

Swati : are Preeti, tu yahan... Naina taiyar ho gayi

Preeti : Haan ho gayi... ab bolo kya help chahiye... saying this she starts helping Pandit and Munna

Munna : Are Sameer tujhe bhi toh change karna hai... Tu ja teri bhi to performance hai....

Sameer left the hall and move towards the first floor......

Sameer (in his mind) : "Ek baar Naina ko dekh lun... akeli hai.. kahin kal ki tarah... are nahin nahin mein bhi kya soch raha hun..." with a smile.. "Voh theek hi hogi" and he move towards her room to check on her...

The moment he reached the corridor he saw a girl coming out from her room and closing the door behind her... He said to himself : "Yeh kaun he.. hamare school ki to nahin lagati.." saying this he speeds up to reach her room and open the door.....

Naina was not there inside the room. He turned back and shocked .. Naina was standing right in front of him wearing orange and golden color lehenga. She was wearing matching bangles in both hands, a pearl necklace with a pair of drop shaped loops on her ears, a maang tika and a stone bindi on her forehead, while her long hair fell in soft curls with very light makeup, but she was wearing pink lip gloss. Everything spokes of beauty and elegance.

His legs turned weak and he felt as if he would collapse any second. This much glimpse of her was enough to kill him. Naina also got shocked to see him staring her. His deep brown eyes were staring deep into her eyes and she became lost. She feels like to spend her life like this, staring into his eyes, being in utter blissful peace. Before they could come to sense with what was happening, Preeti called her from other side of corridor and they came back to reality...

Preeti : are Naina, tu taiyar ho gayi.. wow kitni pyari lag rahi hai....

Sameer (in low voice only audible to Naina) : Haan sach mein... ek dam mere sapnon ki Rajkumari ...... kahin meri hi najar na lag jaye...

Naina feels so shy and turned her face with a smile. Sameer too came into reality and move ahead to his room to change his dress

Preeti : "Yaar, mummy hoti na to tere poore munh par najar se bachane ke liye kajal ka teeka laga deti..." they both giggled and went inside the room

After coming back into senses, Sameer too changed his dress and come out. Munna & Pandit too joined him. The moment they crossed Naina's room, they saw Preeti rushing out of the room panicking.

Munna : Are ise kya hua.." they all shout to stop her from back, " Preeti kya hua.. aise kyun bhaag rahi hai"

Preeti : Yaar sab gadbad ho gayi... Naina ki saari mehanat kharaab ho gayi

Sameer in panick : Kyun kya hua ... Naina to theek hein na

Pandit : "kahin phir se behosh to nahin ho gayi....." Sameer and Preeti gave a deadly glare to him...

Preeti : Bakwaas band kar.. voh theek hai... Actually, usaki gaane ki cassette nahin mil rahi jispar use perform karna tha

All shocked and went inside the room where Naina was sitting holding her head shedding uncontrollable tears... Sameer felt bad seeing her in this condition

Munna: Yaar tu ghabara mat, tune achchhe se check kiya.. kya pata bag mein hi ho...

Swati while entering into room said : Nahin yaar, sab jagah dekh liya.. mein to isake ghar par bhi phone karke aayi hun.. cassette toh ghar par bhi nahin hai..... Pooja did ne ghar par har jagah dhundh li...

Sameer : Dhyan se socho aakhiri baar kahan dekhi thi.. kahin raaste mein toh gira nahin di..

Preeti : Subah ghar se nikalane se pehle humne check kiya tha... cassette bag mein hi thi.. voh bhi bag ki andar wali pocket mein.. girne ka to sawaal hi nahin hota..

Everyone starts thinking and it strikes Sameer that he saw a girl outside Naina's room.

Sameer : Tum log dhundho hum aate hai... chalo Munna Pandit...

He came out of the room with Munna Pandit and tell them everything what he saw

Munna : Yaar ab humein kaise pata chalega voh kaun thi aur ussi ne cassette li bhi he ya nahin...

Pandit : Chalo auditorium mein chal kar dekhte hein... competition shuru hone wala hein.. sab wahin par honge

Then they three starts heading towards auditorium when Sameer suddenly pulled them back at the end of corridor and hide themselves to side wall...

MunnaPandit: Are kya hu.. itni jor se kyun khincha

Sameer: Shhhh.. vo dekho udhar vo donon ladkiyan... inmein se ek voh hi he jo Naina ke room ke baahar thi..

Pandit : are yaar, dhyan se dekho.. usake haath mein ek cassette bhi hai..

Munna : Chalo unase chal kar Naina ki cassette vaapas late hai...

Sameer : Ruko... agar humne unse aise puchha toh vo saaf mana kar dengi aur kahin unhone cassette tod di to... humen kuchh sochna padega, vaise bhi ladkiyaan hai, kahin tamasha na ban jaye..

They start thinking ... Pandit : Yaar ek idea aaya to hai.. par... Sameer tu kar payega ki nahin pata nahin......

Sameer: "Aisa kya hai jo mein nahin kar paaunga.. tu bata to sahi..." then pandit told his idea...

Munna : Yaar Sameer, ab sab tere haath mein hi hai sab kuchh.. Chale...

Sameer (in his mind) : anything for her.. mein usse aise haarate nahin dekh sakta... aur uski aankh mein aansun toh kabhi nahin....
