"What do you mean?" Gauri asked.

"I think I can't maintain this friendship anymore Ms Ajnabi!" Om said.

His tone was serious this time.

Gauri was taken back by this. Her grip on the phone grew tighter.

"What happened suddenly? Did I do something wrong?" Gauri asked.

"Haa!" Om said.

Gauri didn't knew what to feel. She was sad, hurt and frustrated.

"You stole my heart!" Om said.

"Haa par-" Gauri was about to say something but that was when she realised what he told. "Mr khadoos! For a second I thought you were serious about breaking the friendship. Can't you stay atleast for a day without flirting with me?" Gauri asked.

"Lekin I am serious and I wasn't flirting with you this time. I guess I've fallen in love with you Ms Ajnabi!" Om said sincerely.

Hearing his tone she understood that he was serious about it.

"Omkara ji aap ye-"

"Arrey Arrey yaad nahi hai kya? We made a deal, you told me untill you tell me your identity, I will be Mr Khadoos for you. You will act like you don't know me." Om said.

"Haa par ye-"

"You know right, I don't have a habit of keeping these kind of important things in my mind. I just told you what's there in my mind. I am not forcing you." Om said.

"I... I need some time." Gauri said.

Om smiled.

"Theek hai! Take your own time. But don't stop calling me because of this. This call has become my routine now." Om said.

Gauri smiled.

"Even I can't stop calling you Mr Khadoos. Ek minute! Let's do something interesting!" Gauri said excited.

"What?" He asked curiously.

"Let's stop calling each other." Gauri said.

"Kya?" Om yelled from the other side.

"I mean let's write letters to each other." Gauri said.

"Letters? I don't even know where the post office is." Om said.

"Bahaana math dhoondo! You told you have feelings right. If those are sachi waali! Then you will write the letters." Gauri said.

"Fine! Lekin I need an adress to send these letters right?" Om asked with a smirk.

"Ab don't smirk!" Gauri said.

"Are you watching me?" Om said turning around and looking for her.

"I am not but I know what you will be doing right now. You will be looking here and there to find me. And now you are standing there with confused plus shocked expression. Right?" Gauri asked giggling.

"I will call you Ms magician instead of Ms Ajnabi. How can you tell all these yaar?" Om asked.

"I know you very well Mr Khadoos!" Gauri said.

"So how do you plan to read the letters without giving the adress?" Om asked.

"I will give you the adress but before that you should promise not to search about me with that." Gauri said.

"Ab when someone keeps chicken biriyani in front of you asks not even to touch it, can you control?" Om asked.

"Waah! What a comparison. Look Mr Khadoos! You know what? I want our meeting to be really special. Not like this. I myself will come in front of you one day. Till then don't try to find who I am." Gauri said.

"Fine! I won't do anything like that. Why can't you atleast tell your name? It won't cause any damage to your anonymous face." Om said.

"Well! You asked this much na? Let me give you a clue. My name is related Shankar ji." Gauri said.

"Shankar ji? Vo kaun hai?" Om asked confused.

"My uncles son!" Gauri said irritated. "Lord Shiva!!!"

"Oh! So your name is connected to Lord Shiva! Waah! My name is also connected to lord Shiva." Om said.

Gauri smiled. She saw Ishaana glaring at her.

"Ok then. Bye Mr Khadoos. I've gotta go!" Gauri said and cut the call.

She saw Ishaana glaring at her.

"Gau-"

Ishaana was about to start scolding her but she was startled by the sudden hug from Gauri.

"What?" Ishaana asked.

"Kuch nahi!" Gauri said while blushing and ran out of the room.

"This girl has gone mad." Ishaana thought and went out of her room.

Both of them reached the college and saw Bhavya waiting for them. On seeing them Bhavya got up with serious face.

"Ishu! She is surely ready to do something dramatic. I going okthanksbye!" Gauri said and ran away with Ishaanas phone in her hand.

Ishaana saw her running and looked at Bhavya and smiled nervously.

"Where did she go?" Bhavya asked.

"Bhaag gayi!.... I mean wash room.... she went to washroom." Ishaana said and smiled nervously.

"You know what Ishu! Today...." And she started to say her ADVENTUROUS story!

Gauri went to the garden side to call Omkara.

"Hello Ms Ajnabi!" Om said cheerfully.

"Hello Mr Khadoos!" Gauri said.

"Kya hua? Usually you doesn't call me at this time na?" Om asked.

"Don't you want my adress?" Gauri asked.

"Yes! I was waiting for but I didn't want you to think me as a despo! Issliye I didn't ask." Om said with a sheepish smile.

"But you are a despo!" Gauri teased.

"Miss Ajnabi, you called me to give the adress or to fight?" Om asked.

"Theekh hai theekh hai. Note it down. Pqr girls hostel, room No 302!" Gauri said.

"Pqr girls hostel? Matlab you are studying in Bhavyas college?" Om asked.

"Aapko kisne diya best businessman of the year award? You didn't understand that till now? Why on earth will I talk about Bhavya all the time if I don't know her?" Gauri asked.

"I thought you met her on that accident day and was talking about her because of that." Om said.

"Oh God! If I met her at that day only then why will I be interested in hearing about her injection story and all. Ok leave it and tell me where should I send my letter to, your office or home?" Gauri asked.

"Office!" Om said.

"Ok done! We will write weekly twice." Gauri said.

"Ok. Ms Ajnabi I am sorry but I gotta go now. I have a meeting." Om said.

"Ok. Bye Mr desperate Khadoos." Gauri said and cut the call.

After the call she went towards Bhavya and Ishaana hoping that Bhavyas story is over. She saw Bhavya telling something to Ishaana dramatically.

"Ye ab thak khatham nahi hua?" Gauri thought.

But she found it weird when she saw Ishaana listening keenly to what Bhavya was speaking.

"What are you both discussing?" Gauri asked.

"Gauri! Listen to her. This story is interesting." Ishaana said.

"It's not a story. It's a real incident." Bhavya pouted.

"Haa I know. You don't have a great imaginative brain to cook up such an interesting story. Tell her anyways." Ishaana said.

"So Gauri you remember that doctor?" Bhavya asked excited.

"Which doctor?" Gauri asked.

"Arrey! Woh! The one who dressed this wound on my leg." Bhavya said.

"Oh that Doctor from metro hospital." Gauri said. "Kya hua usse? Did he leave his doctor career after treating you?"

"You guys are so mean! Ishu said the same. Why are you spoiling my mood asking such stupid questions?" Bhavya asked. "I am not telling anything!"

"Arre Arre! Tell me. I won't ask anything. Bolo." Gauri said.

"Theek hai. I met that doctor yesterday from the mall. And I was damn sure he recognised me. But he acted like he hasn't even met me once. Who was he trying to do these drama with? I didn't leave. I went behind him. There was a girl with him. I think that was his girlfriend." Bhavya said.

"And?" Gauri asked.

"I simply asked him if he recognised me or not. And that idiot said he didnt. And I asked him how could you forget me in such a polite manner and the girl who was with him looked suspiciously at us." Bhavya said.

"No need to tell the rest. I can guess what happened." Gauri said and Bhavya smiled sheepishly.

That day went as a normal day. Gauri gave the phone to Ishaana as they decided not to call each other anymore. Ishaana and Gauri were sitting in the room. Ishaana saw Gauri writing something in a paper and then throwing it in the dustbin.

"Ye thum kya kar rahi ho?" Ishaana asked.

"How did you get such a beautiful handwriting Ishu?" Gauri asked with a pout.

"Kyunki I am so talented and deserving." Ishaana said with a fake accent dramatically.

"I agree." Gauri said.

"You what?" Ishaana asked with a shocked expression.

"Agree!" Gauri said sheepishly.

"What do you want?" Ishaana asked.

"Can you write a letter for me?" Gauri asked with a sheepish smile.

"To whome?" Ishaana asked confused.

"Omkara!" Gauri said.

"You didn't stop talking to him till now? It's almost a month!" Ishaana asked.

"Tho? Why do you have a problem if I speak to him?" Gauri asked.

"Why will I have a problem if you talk to him? I was just asking. Usually these attraction ends within three weeks for you na? This is almost a month." Ishaana said.

Gauri smiled.

"I don't know but I like talking to him." Gauri said.

"So?"

"So.... I just like that. Bas!" Gauri said trying hard to hide her blush. "Leave that and write na!" Gauri said.

"And why should I do that?" Ishaana asked.

"I gave your phone back and still you are using my scooty na? So please!" Gauri said showing puppy eyes.

"These puppy eyes won't work anymore. Aur thumhe patha hai! I hate writing. I will walk to college. I don't want your scooty." Ishaana said.

"Please don't say like that. Tell me what you want?" Gauri asked.

"You will do anything?" Ishaana asked.

Gauri nodded.

"Then, you should allow me to read his letters." Ishaana said.

Gauri found the wish weird but she agreed.

"Tell me what to write!" Ishaana said sitting with the pen and paper.

To my Khadoos!

It feels so weird to write a letter to you. I don't know what to write and where to start from. Isn't it weird that I don't have anything to write. While in call our conversations were non stop!

I don't know what to feel right now, being with you feels different and I miss our calls. I am longing to hear your voice. And you know what? I got my voice back. After one long month, my never ending cold has left me to catch another prey!

I know you will be smiling now reading this!

"What else should I write?" Gauri asked.

"Excuse me! It's me who is writing!" Ishaana said irritated.

"Haa haa. You are writing!" Gauri said.

"Let me tell you something! You are being too cheezy!" Ishaana said.

"Is it? Then let's write once more. Take another paper." Gauri said.

Ishaanas eyes widened.

"What? Once more? Arrey! Gauri! I was just joking! This is the best letter I've ever seen. Continue continue." Ishaana said smiling nervously.

"Ok then continue!"

You wanted an answer na? I have it now! You may already know my answer but I've to say this. It's a yes!

"What yes?" Ishaana asked narrowing her eyebrows.

"He proposed me!" Gauri said hiding her face.

"Kya? The Omkara Singh Oberoi proposed you!?" Ishaana almost shouted.

"Shhh! Lower your volume." Gauri said.

"To hell with my volume! Bhavyas brother proposed you and you didn't even tell that to me? And it's a yes from your side?" Ishaana asked.

"I... I love him Ishu!" Gauri said.

"Love? You are crazy! You haven't even met him once. You don't even know how he is. What if he is just playing with you? And this love and all. These are just changes in hormones. This is just a fling dude. After one or two months. You will loose your interest in him. There is no such thing called love and all." Ishaana said.

"Ishu! It's because you haven't felt the way I have. It's the most beautiful feeling yaar! I am sure about this. And I know him. He is not playing with me." Gauri said.

Ishaana rolled her eyes!

"You know what? I even thought of a name for child" Gauri said giggling.

"You are impossible Gauri! And what is that great name?" Ishaana asked mocking her.

"If it's a girl, I will put the name and if it's a boy he will put the name. So... I've decided it as Riya. Isn't that cute?" Gauri asked

Ishaana simply rolled her eyes.

"Tell me what else should I write. I don't have time listening to your bakwas." Ishaana said.

Gauri pouted seeing her lack of interest.

"Ok! Write."

I love you Mr Khadoos!
