It was evening time. The sunset near the beach has attracted many people towards it.

A black car stopped at the parking. She walked out , wearing a beautiful dress. She was wearing sunglasses and a big scarf was covering her face.

She went to the pani puri stall. She was happy. After so many days she was enjoying the panipuri , eating in the stall.

"Bhaiya make it more tikha! (Spicy)"

Her excitement was clearly visible. And she ate till she was not satisfied. Paying the bill she moved back and started walking towards the car.

She was settling her purse when she got hit with something. She moved back and found a boy.

The collision was really hard and with the jerk her scarf fell down.

"I'm so sorry!"
She asked for sorry and the boy looked up to see the person.

"No its ok. I'm sorry too. There was my fault also."

He said looking her face. A beautiful face! She was smiling which was giving more cuteness to her face.

But her eyes were still covered. He wanted to see them , he didn't knew but he was getting pulled towards her.

He was still lost in his thought when he realised she has settled her scarf and has walked away from there. And he was standing there like an idiot.

~~~~~~~~

Karan was sitting with his friends after coming from office. He recently got a job in office and his boss was total danger. Work load was high and he was really tired.

He used to share the house with his three best friends Yash , Aashi and Richa. Yash was a nerd type boy whereas Richa was more like addicted to daily soaps which was the thing Karan never liked.

As usual Richa returned from her office and switched on the TV. Karan got irritated and dug his face on the cushion.

He heard a similar voice on tv but he didn't wanted to see that saas bahu saga.

"Karan yaar , why you are behaving like this?"

Richa knew that Karan was really very annoyed with these stories.

"I don't want to eat my brain watching all this!"

Aashi was not yet home. And Richa didn't have any expectation from Yash that he will accompany her. And Richa never liked watching TV alone.

"Please yaar! Just look at that boy Sid, he is so cute and he plays the role of Akshay also so nicely!"

"Whatever!"

"And Naina she is such a cutie pie!! She is nailing the role of Jhanvi! I love Sid and Naina's couple!"

"Oh just shut up Richa.. Let them do anything , don't pull me into all this!"

Now Richa was irritated. She pulled Karan up and asked him to watch the serial.

As Karan looked up he saw the same girl in TV with whom he yesterday collided. He saw her eyes , it were the loveliest thing he has ever seen.

"Who is she? What is she doing here?"
He asked being curious to know more about her.

"She is Jhanvi aka Naina Solanki! She is one of the cutest actress."

Richa spoke. She was smiling thinking Sid and Naina together.

"She is the same girl with whom I collided!"
Karan said and her eyes popped out!

"What the hell! You met her and didn't took a selfie or autograph! Are you mad?"

She shouted at him. Yash was returning from kitchen with a glass of water. He also saw them and chuckled.

"Relax girl! I didn't knew she is a celebrity!"
Karan defended himself.

"Woah! Dude are you having fever or what! The man who say why would I take an autograph , is telling I didn't knew it! "

This time Yash spoke and Karan got more irritated.

"According to my study I will say you have a crush on her or you like her"

Yash teased him and Karan's jaw dropped and same happened with Richa.

"Karan you can't do this! Naina is only for Sid !! Siddharth and Naina is the couple! Karan and Naina , Noooooo ways"

She said shaking her head like if really Naina was going to marry Karan.

"Richa relax! She is not going to meet Karan again. So your Sid and Naina is still on."

Yash said and sat with them. He spoke some sense. Richa agreed and she again looked at TV.

Karan felt bad when he heard SHE IS NOT GOING TO MEET HIM AGAIN!!

He too turned towards the TV and saw Naina and Sid together. Though they were playing Jhanvi and Akshay but Karan was not liking it at all. He was feeling really sad.

And here Richa was speaking continuously about them. Karan got up and went to his room.

~~~~~~~~

After a tiring day at shooting Naina was resting on her bed. She took her phone out and opened Instagram.

Whenever she was tired she used to see the comments of the followers. It would make her happy.

She then opened the twitter and saw a new follower @karan_chauhan. She looked at the Dp and saw it was the same boy with whom she collided the earlier day.

Her lips curved into a smile remembering the incident. For the first time a person has not treated her as a celebrity. She liked that fact. Even there was some charm in him.

She was feeling really sleepy so without wasting another minute on thinking about the boy she will never meet again she slept.

~~~~~~~~~~

Naina got ready and came out to go for shooting. She was late that day. The girl who would reach set 10 minutes earlier the call time was late for first time.

She scolded herself and was driving fast. Suddenly her car stopped. She thanked that atleast it was on a roadside.

She again tried to start it but in vain.
"Great! Today is getting worser."

She got out of the car and tried to repair it. But it was out of her knowledge. She knew that the repairing shop was also 15 minutes from there.

She looked for a taxi but not a single one was stopping. She was getting much fed up.

Suddenly a taxi stopped in front of her. She looked inside to see Karan smiling at her.

"Do you want a lift? We can drop you there!"
Karan asked her.

"No thanks. Actually I was looking for a taxi. Want to go to the car repairer."

She smiled at him. Her voice was a melodious song for him.

"We can drop you there if you are ok with it."
Karan insisted.

"Thank you "

She got inside the taxi. Karan shifted other side so that she can sit comfortably.

"A true gentleman!"
She thought in her mind and looked outside the window.

Those fifteen minutes were so good for both of them. Naina forget that she was getting late and Karan didn't thought about his boss.

The taxi stopped near the repair shop. Naina looked towards Karan and forwarded her hand.

"Thank you so much. Btw I'm ..."

Before she could complete Karan shook it and spoke.

"Naina Solanki! I know and I'm Karan Singh Chauhan"

"I too know your name."
Naina smiled and Karan knew that she saw that follow.

She bid a bye to him and went from there.

She was so cute and her hand was so soft ! He thought and smiled that Yash's word were wrong. They again met!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Karan came home and sat on the sofa. He saw Richa and remembered that he didn't took a photo or autograph this time also and if Richa will hear it surely Karan will be found dead.

He decided not to talk and focused towards TV. It was the time for Naina's show but Richa was watching something else.

"Will you not watch that show of Jhanvi?"

Karan asked as he wanted to see her.

"Oh , today there is a mahasangam so no Jhanvi and Akshay! But why are you asking? Don't tell me you too like her?"

"No , I don't like her... That ... You spoke so much about her so just thought to ask you"

Karan lied to her and she nodded. He slowly moved towards his room and got fresh.

Lying on his bed he was using his phone when a notification popped up.

Naina has send him a message on twitter.

"Thank you so much for today!"

Karan smiled watching it! Naina Solanki has send him a message which was a big thing for him.

"Its the least I can do! :)"
He typed it at first but then erased it thinking it will not sound good!

"Its ok! Don't say thank you. I'm glad to help!"
He again wrote it and went to delete but by mistake send it to her.

He slapped his head and within two minutes he got a reply.

"That's sweet of you ! So friends?"

Karan smiled even wider

"Friends!"

"So will meet you someday"

"Sure!!"

"Ok bye! Take care and good night!"

"Good night. :)"

Karan jumped in his place . He didn't have the answer but he was getting excited , was feeling really happy.

On other side Naina was also grinning watching her phone. She was feeling like she got something big.

She didn't knew Karan a little also but he left a charm which can't be resisted!

She kept thinking about him until she drifted to sleep.

~~~~~~~~

Days passed by , Karan and Naina were good friends now. They met several times! She came to his flat also and Karan to her house.

And slowly this friendship developed as love for Naina as well as Karan.

Soon their friendship was completing one year and Naina was fighting with her inner feelings. She tried a lot but at last thought to confess it to Karan.

~~~~~~~

It was the day before their friendship anniversary. Naina called Karan.

"Hello Karan?"

"Yeah Nainu!"

"Karan will you be able to meet me tomorrow?"

"I was also thinking the same yaar! Why not?"

Naina sighed. She was feeling happy.

"Okay then tomorrow evening sharp 7 pm near Taj!"

"As you order ma'am!"

Karan replied to her and thought she is sounding too excited.

"Okay bye ! I have to prepare now!"

"Prepare what?"

"Naina are you planning tell him now!!! Don't slip your mouth!!"

She mentally scolded herself. And then replied to Karan.

"Prepare the food!"

"Oh okay then bye!"

They ended the call and then got back to their respective works.

~~~~~~~~

Karan came to the place and was waiting for Naina. He was wearing a blue denim and a shirt.

Suddenly his eyes fell on a Victorian horse carriage. It was common to see them near Taj hotel but in that carriage's inside was sitting Naina.

It was a surprise for him. When it stopped near him he got a better view of her.

She was wearing an off shoulder short dress with embroidery work on the upper side. It was red and cream in colour. Her hair was made into a loose bun.

Karan skipped a heartbeat getting the complete view of her.

Naina smiled and forwarded her hand which Karan held happily and got inside the carriage.

"Wish I could hold this hand forever!"
Thought Karan and felt a little bad thinking it will never be possible.

"Why always the prince will come on the horse? This time the princess will take prince away with her"

Naina thought and again gave her best smile which again made Karan to skip his heartbeat.

"You are looking beautiful!"

"And you are looking handsome!"

And both went silent. There were thousands of things both wanted tell each other but was not able to say. They were silent but their heart was talking.

By mistake Karan kept his hand Naina's. He looked up at her and saw she was smiling. So nor he took his hand back neither Naina.

After sometime they reached the destination.

The place was covered with darkness. Karan thought why they were here.

Naina took Karan's hand in his and they started walking towards it.

They walked in the sand for sometime. Karan's excitement was increasing every second.

"Where are we going?"
Karan asked being eager.

"You will find it soon!!"

"But its really dark here."

"Are you Afraid Karan??"
She said looking towards him.

"Not at all!!"
"Then not a word if you trust me! Come."

Karan nodded and looked straight. He saw some light at a distance.

Going near it , he saw a stage type place which was decorated. It was simple yet beautiful , just like the way Karan loved.

He went more closer to look a table for two with food. A music system was also there.

"Beautiful" Karan said seeing all this and then thought in his mind "Just like you!"

"Thank god you liked it"
Naina replied who was standing nervous thinking if he will like it or not.

They went towards the table and Karan pulled a chair for her and she sat down.
Karan saw that all the dishes were also his favourite.

Karan served the food and Naina played the music. A soft song started playing making the atmosphere more beautiful.

"She knows every small things about me! Oh god how I wish she was mine."
Karan thought and frowned a little thinking it was not possible.

They ate the food in silence. Both of them wanted to talk but Naina was nervous for the propose and Karan stopped himself as something stupid only would have come from his mouth.

After the dinner Naina stood up and forwarded her hand towards Karan.

"May I have a dance with this handsome boy?"
And she gave her bestest smile.

"Why not ! I would to dance with you beautiful lady!"
He said giving his hand to her.

They went towards the middle. The song changed and they started dancing.
Naina keeps her one hand on his shoulder and held the other hand. Karan keeps his hand on her waist.

Kisi shaam ki tarah
Tera rang hai khila
Main raat ik tanha
Tu chand sa mila

Haan tujhe dekhta raha
Kisi khaab ki tarah
Jo ab saamne hai tu
Ho kaise yaqeen bhala

Toota jo kabhi taara, sajna ve!
Tujhe Rabb se maanga
Rabb se jo maanga mileya ve…
Tu mileya to jaane na dunga main

Haan maine suni hai
Pariyon ki kahani
Waisa hi noor tera
Chehra hai tera ruhani

Aa tujhko main apni
aaja meri Baahon mein chupa loon
Haan apni iss zameen ko
Kar doon main aasmaan bhi…

Zindagi rok doon main ab tere saamne
Pal do pal jo ruke tu mere sath mein

Toota jo kabhi tara sajna ve
Tujhe Rabb se maanga
Rabb se jo maanga mileya ve…
Tu mileya to jaane na dunga main

Suddenly Karan pulls Naina more closer and winked at her. She gets happily shocked . They could feel each other's breath.

Itni bhi haseen main nahi, o yaara ve!
Mujhse bhi haseen toh tera ye pyar hai
Haan itni bhi haseen main nahi
O yaara ve!
Mujhse bhi haseen tera pyar…

Ke tera mera pyar ye
Jaise khwab aur duaa
Haan sach kar raha inhe
Dekho mera Khuda…

Toota jo kabhi taara sajna ve
Tujhe Rabb se maanga
Rabb se jo maanga, mileya ve…
Tu mileya to jaane na dungi main

The song stops and Naina sees a hand waving in front of her. She realised that she was dreaming Karan dancing holding her more closer.

She mentally slapped her for thinking too much! Karan was smiling at her watching Naina so happy.

"Karan come with me!"
Naina ordered Karan.

"But where?" He asked in total confusion.

"Wanna show you something!"
And both of them went from there. She took him to a nearby cliff. Karan saw the view , it was magical and cool breeze was directly hitting their face.

"This place is really special for me! I come here when I'm happy and when I'm sad especially when I miss my loved ones."

She said and looked towards Karan. He was listening her carefully.

She took Karan's hand in her and look into his eyes.
"And today I want to confess you something here only. I don't know what will happen to our friendship later but I can't hide it anymore. Karan I don't know how but I have fallen in love. I love you Karan! And I'm proud of it. I will never regret it as it is the best feeling! I don't know what you feel for me and I will not force something on you. But I want this friendship to be forever. Do you love me Karan?"

Naina said it in one go. She was getting more nervous. There was a silence for few moment. Karan didn't expected this. A tear rolled down her cheeks. Suddenly she felt the grip of his hand got more stronger.

"I love you too Naina from the very first moment I saw you. But I never got the strength to tell you. Every time I m falling for you more and more. I want this friendship to be forever! I want this love to be forever! Will you walk with me in this path? Will you complete our journey of love with me?"

Hearing Karan's word Naina nearly jumped in happiness. She nodded in reply and hugged him. He hugged her back tightly and kissed her hair.

~~~~~~~

Three years passed. Naina and Karan were happy together. Soon Naina declared it officially and people accepted them. Richa was in a shock. She was happy for them but still missed her Sid and Naina's couple.

It was there engagement day. Both of their families were present there along with some close relatives and friends.

Naina and Karan were dressed beautifully and were standing on the stage. Both of their mother brought the rings and they made it wear.

Everybody congratulated them. Richa came atlast.Naina and Karan were busy staring at each other that time. Richa coughed to break the eyelock.

"You two look cute together! "
Richa said making a cute face.

"Woah Moti you admitted it!"
Karan teased her.

"Oh! But Sid and Naina are cutest!!"
And they all burst into laughter.

Richa went to a side and Nairan were left alone. Karan looked at her. He slowly moved towards her.

"I love you!"
He whispered.

"I love you too!"
She replied and Karan came more close , their heads touching. He held her waist and Naina put her hand around his neck and Karan said

"You are mine forever!"
