After exam they came out, Naina was covered by many students as usual coz they always want to discuss their paper with her.

"Naina ye dekh na yaar ye wala sawaal to samamjh me hi nhi aa raha tha" one of her classmate said.

"Naina, isme kya hoga, bata na?" another one asked.

"Naina, mujhe to samajh me hi nhi aa raha hai ki paper achha hua hai ya nhi" Swati said being confused.

"Pandit aaj to bahut likh rahe the tum" Munna said coming towards them alongwith Pandit and Sameer.

Swati glared him while Naina was eager to know about Sameer's paper that's why she was ignoring others but she didn't get time to escape and since Sameer was not feeling well thus he left.

Naina went towards the cycle stand but saw him leaving on bike, she become sad but smile again thinking about the moment when Sameer blink his eyes in yes during exam.

"Bhagwaan kare Sameer ka paper achha hua ho" Naina said.

'Naina, tu yaha kya kar rahi hai? Aaj school me hi rukne ka vichar hai kya jaldi chal ghar." Preeti said coming from behind making her startle.

"Ha nhi, wo haa chalo" Naina said and Preeti make weird face on her reaction.

"Kya hua hai tujhe? Tu theek to hai na?" she asked touching her forehead.

"Ha mai theek hu, chalo" she said and they left.

"Munna Pandit v chale gaye uske sath warna unhi se puch leti" Naina murmured in herself.

"Ek minute ruk jara tu" Preeti said before they can enter inside the house.

"Ha, kya hua?" she asked coming out of her thoughts.

"Kis k ghar me chori ho gai hai jot u aise pareshan ho rahi hai" Preeti asked in her usual cranky sense of humor.

"Kuch nhi mai to bas paper,,,,,," Naina said.

"Aa gaye tum log, Bhagwaan jhoot bulwaye bhala bahar khade hoke kya baatein kar rahe ho, ghar me aake nhi kar sakte" Bela Chachi said opening the door.

"Nhi Chachi, yahi pagalo ki tarah bahar khadi hoke baat kar rahi hai" Naina said and Preeti glared her.

"O Bai, kya halla machaye ho tum log yaha khade hoke, kisi ne ghar se bahar nikal diya hai kya" Taiji said coming towards them.

"Bhagwaan jhoot na bulwaye bhabhiji ghar se bahar kyu nikalega koi, ye log to abhi tak andar hi nhi gaye" Bela said and Taiji make weird faces.

"Ha to chale na andar aur Bela jara chai banana to, hamare yaha to doodh hi khatam ho gaya hai" Taiji said sitting on swing.

"Sab teri wajah se hota hai" Naina said slapping Preeti on her hand.

"Ahaa, meri wajah se aur tu jo Salman khan k kahyalo me khoi hui cycle chala rahi thi uska kya" Preeti said.

Naina become shocked for a moment how Preeti get to know about this but relax getting she was talking about real Salman khan not about Sameer coz whole school consider him as Salman Khan of their school.

"Ab khud me hi muskuraye ja rahi hu, mai bol rahi hu tujhe nazar wazar lagi hai abhi mummy ko bol k aati hu jara teri nazar utar de" Preeti said and she smile.

"Arey nhi Preeti aisa kuch nhi hai mai thee hu, ruk mai kapde badal k aati hu" she said and rush towards washroom.

Coming back, naina tried to talk something to preeti but Bela chachi called them.

After sometime,

They had their food and for sometime Naina forget about Sameer's exam.

"Naina sun na jara se sawaal bata de mujhe samajh nhi aa raha hai fir kal agar paper me aa gaya to mai kya karungi" Preeti said showing her maths book.

"La de batati hu" Naina said taking the book but her mind move towards Sameer by the name of exam.

"Pata nhi uska exam kaisa hua" she murmured.

"Naina, kya hua?" Preeti asked.

"Kuch nhi" she said and start explaining her.

Sameer rested for sometimes and get up with fresh mind and move towards study table. He remember Naina and how she helped him with major topics and smile although he felt bad that he didn't tried to ask about her exam but how could he do that she was covered with so many students that's why he left. Moreover he felt that she will call him at night, don't know why but his gut feeling assured him that she will call.

At night, when everyone slept, Naina get up when Preeti turn towards her "Kaha ja rahi hai tu ab raat me?" she asked.

"Kahi to nhi, mai kaha jaungi, m,,mai to bas,, ha pani pee rahi thi" Naina said stammering while holding the jug "Lekin isme pani hi nhi hai"

"Theek hai ja pee le pani aur so ja, wasie v kal exam hai fir" Preeti said and slept again.

"Bach gai naina tu" Naina kept her hand over her heart and murmured.

She slowly came out and picked the landline, she dialed Sameer's number and wait keeping the receiver near ear.

Sameer was feeling sleepy while waiting for Armaan's call but jump up as he heard the ring and receive the call instantly.

"Hello Naina" he said atonce and the song start playing in background while they were smiling feeling each other's breath.

yeh un dino ki baat hai

jab ishq sachcha huaa karta thaa

yeh un dino ki baat hai

jab ishq mein padnaa achchaa huaa kartaa tha

rahi man rahi man yeh preet re

jaane naa maane ye reet re

"Tumhe kaise pata ki mai hu?" she asked.

"Mai wait kar rah,,,,,wo, I mean mujhe laga shayad tum ho kyunki kal v call kiya than a tumne" Sameer make words because he was not aware of her feelings, he thought maybe she will become angry by this and he don't want to loose her.

"Ha wo exam k baad mai puch hi nhi pai, tumhara paper kaisa hua?" she asked.

"Achha hua, aur wo v tumhari wajah se, thanku Naina agar tum nhi hoti to mai exam v nhi de pata theek se" Sameer was truly happy by her help.

"Achha aur kal k liye padh liya tumne?" she asked.

"Ha thoda bahut aur kuch to tum v batogi na abhi" Sameer said with his cute smile.

"Achha, to tumhe lag raha hai ki mai tumhe fir se padhaungi kal ki tarah" she said beng surprised.

"Nhi agar tumhe koi problem hai to koi baat nhi" Sameer said becoming sad.

"Sameer, aisa nhi hai achha mai tumhe kuch jaruri points bata deti hu" she said and described few things.

"Thanku Naina" Sameer said.

"Ab so jao, good night" she said and cut the call smiling to herself while Sameer was about to say something but call get disconnected.

"Kitni jaldi rahti hai isko phone rakhne ki" he said looking towards the receiver and placed it back sighing.

Whole week passed like this, Naina helped Sameer a lot during exams and Sameer was feeling happy with her. He was focusing on study as well as on Naina, he was the charm of school and Naina was also under his influence but her never wanted to flirt with Naina as she made a different place in his heart.

He was not obvious about his feeling but whenever he talk with her a feeling of real happiness encircled him and he automatically smile on which Naina loose her heart.

Both were unaware of their real feeling they were just trying to act friendly as much as possible.

After exam it was a day of result declaration in class, everyone was worried about the result waiting anxiously for teacher.

"Pandit aaj bada sundar lag raha hai tu" Munna said looking towards Swati and Naina Sameer smile while she glared him.

"Result aane de, dikhega kitna sundara hai" Swati said with a smirk.

"Yaar Pandit padhai ki baat karke dil tod diya tune" Munna said looking towards her and Swati again pass a deadly glare and he turn towards Pandit "Ponga Pandit tujhse bol raha hu mai, frock Pandit jhoote hi gussa ho jata hai" he said stealing gazes towards Swati.

"Pagal hai ye" Swati murmured and focused towards teacher.

"Naina, mujhe pata hai tum first aaogi" Sameer said and she smile nervously.

For the first time in her life she was worried for someone else's result, yes she was thinking about Sameer's result this time and Sameer was unaware of it.

Teacher declared Naina as topper and everyone clapped for her happily including Sameer also while Munna and Pandit clapped more loudly looking towards Sameer's happiness.

"Hmm, naina bahut bahut badhai ho tumhe, tumne fir se top kiya hai aura b bari hai 2nd position pe aane wale bachhe ki" Shanti teacher said "Aur wo hai Sameer Maheshwari"

Naina look towards him with her best smile while Sameer was shocked by the news, he was not sure about himself as he was an average student but Munna and Pandit being super excited hold him up and then clapped harder including the whole class.

"Sameer, kya hua?" teacher asked.

"Kuch nhi M'am wo mai,,,," Sameer stammers.

"Arey apni copy to dekh lo, tum v hamare topper ban chuke ho wo v bas 3 mahino me" Teacher said and he smile.

"Kya baat hai bhai, tune to pura school hila diya" Munna said.

"Ha aur Topper Naina k baad hamara Sameer, mera to mann kar raha hai nachu" Pandit said.

Swati was also happy and looking excited "Control Pandit, itna kyu khush ho raha hai tu?" he asked looking towards her but the moment Swati turn towards him he changed his focus towards Pandit.

"Are khush ki baat hai yaar hamara bhai second aaya hai" Pandit said.

"Ha Ponga Pandit, sahi kah rahe ho tum" he also clapped alongwith him.

"Munaa Pandit bas ho gaya ab apni v copy dekh lo" teacher said.

"Are hamari copy me kya rakha hai Madam lekin dekhna to padega hi" he said coming towards teacher.

"Waise top to tum dono ne v kiya hai" she said holding their copies.

"Kya baat kar rahi hain madam, ye chamatkar kaise ho gaya bhai ham kab se itna padhne lage" Munna said looking towards Teacher then towards Pandit who make a don't know face.

"Control karo Munna pandit, tum dono na neeche se top kar rahe ho" she said making students laugh and they both look towards her being shocked.

"Chalo ab dhang se padhna shuru kar do warna kitni maar padegi ye mujhe v nhi pata hai" she said looking towards them and they nodded.

After all these they went towards the canteen, Sameer look towards Naina whose eyes were showing true happiness which make him smile.

"Kya baat hai Naina aaj to tu badi khush lag rahi hai, tu to hamesha first aati hai lekin khushi pahl baar dikh rahi hai" Preeti said and she smile.

"Arey Preeti aaj to iske khush hone k din hai jane de ham fir kabhi chhed lenge isko" Swati said smiling towards her because she knew everything about teaching Sameer on phone and Preeti was thinking did she missed something.
