"Jab Duniyaa aaj ko attit banane ke liye aankhein band karti hai...tab....tab meri aankhein un sabko talashti hai jo meri tarah kisi puraane dhun se phir takraana chahti hai...Aur unn puraani galliyon mei phir jaana chahte hain...Haan wahi galiyaan jahan dard bhi hai aur dawa bhi.."

1:00 am

Avneil are looking at each other and are getting exposed to their beautiful world of the past which was shattered like a newly printed paper getting stamped and torn by people....

FLASHBACK

XYZ college, Delhi. 28 years ago.

A young lad with smiling face and wearing a black shirt enters the college premises. His brown orbs and cute smile could take any girls heart.

As he passed by the corridor,

Girl 1: Ae sunn na ...uss ladke ko dekh. Kitna handsome hai na...kaash mei uski girlfriend hoti...(she enters in her lala land).

Girl 2: Tujhe pata hai wo kon hai? Wo Khurranas ka beta hai. Wo sirf....

Girl 1: Abbe chup kar....I just wish mei use hug kar paati.... kitna cute bhi hai yaar...

Girl 3: Wo to hai..... Wo ladki bohot lucky hogi jisse ye mil jaayega...

Girl 1: Haan yaar....Itni saari ladkiyaan iss bande to taarte hai. Meri to koi chance hi nahi hai inme.

On the other hand a girl entered the college premises with her beautiful hair tied into her pony. She was too cute for any guy to handle and her mole above her lips was something that made her more attractive than the others.Her hair locks played on her neck and back as she kept walking. She kept biting her lower lip out of nervousness. She was a introvert cum extrovert kind of person. The more you get closer to her the more you see her wilder side. But that is not so easy. She never lets people get close to her heart and mind so easily.

Girl 2: Kabhi uss handsome ke aage bhi dekha kar...humaari cutie pie aa rahi hai.

Girl 3: Humaari cutie pie aur iss handsome ki jodi kitni jachegi na....

The three girls ran behind her...Sharmajiiiiiii they all shouted.

The handsome hunk stopped listening to them and waited to see who this Sharmaji was. He tried to look at her face but she was covered by the three girls.

Suddenly he felt someone tapping on his shoulder. He turned back and...

Guy: Hey Neel...kisko dhund raha hai?

Neel: Hey Raj. Tu kahan se aaya? Kaisa hai yaar?

Raj: Main piche se aaya...waise tujhe manna padega. Ek hi din mei tune itni saari ladkiyon ko apne vash mei kar liya...kitna lucky hai tu.

Neel: Mujhe inn sab se koi farak nahi padta.

Raj: Haan haan sab attention seekers aise hi bolte hai.

Neel: Nope dude. Mujhe sirf ek hi larki chahiye jo sirf mere liye bane ho. Ye sab ladkiyan aaj ye kal wo karne wale hai.

Raj: Hmmm...chal class ka time ho raha hai and I know Mr. Punctual, tujhe late hona bilkul pasand nahi...to chale?

Neil: Haan

They leave.

Girl 1: yaar Avnii...tu thodi late hogayi. Pata hai aaj ek handsome hunk college aaya hai. Pata hai...use dekhte hi mera Dil dhak dhak karne lag gaya.

Girl 2:Tu apna bakwass band kar...koi dhak dhak nhi hua tujhe. Aur waise bhi Avnii teri tarah nahi hai jo larko ke baare mei sochte baithe.

Avnii: bass bass...late ho raha hai class ke liye...chale?

Girl 3: Haan kyun nahi Ms. Punctual...

Avnii: Priya, tu meri mazak udaa rahi hai..

Priya: Bhala tera mazak kon udaayega....Lady don jo hai.

They all laugh And entered the class. Girl 1 saw Neel sitting on the first bench. 

Girl 1: Yeh...Priya, Nandini, Avnii wo handsome issi class mei hai.

Nandini: Yaar bass kar Ruhi. Kitna nazar rakhegi usspe. Aur waise bhi wo Khurrana hai. Wo hume bhau bhi nahi dega.

Ruhi: Yaar tu har baat pe Khurrana hai Khurrana hai kyu karti hai...

Avnii: Exactly! Wo Khurrana ho ya Murrana...isse farak nahi padna chahiye. Wo bhi insaan hi hai. Khurrana uske baap ka kamaya hua naam hai...uska nahi. Aur iss baat pe agar wo ghamand kare to wo ek achcha insaan nahi hai....

All remain silent and take there sit on the third row behind Neel.

Raj: Yaar Neel tu first bench pe kyu baitha....Tu Khurrana hai aur tu nahi padega to bhi naukri mil jaayegi...phir tu itna padhai karega.

Neel: Dekh Raj...Khurrana mere papa ke kamaya hua naam hai...mera nahi. Mai Khurrana hun iska matlab ye nahi ki main bohot bada insaan hun. Maine abhi tak kuch nahi kiya hai jis baat pe mai ghamand karu.

Raj: Hmmm....phir tu larkiyon ko bhau kyu nahi deta.

Neel: Bro, abhi tak tu Neel Khurrana ko nahi pehchana...pehle good impression uske baad flirting. Otherwise main inko creepy lagunga na...

Both laugh....

After the class Avnii went to the library. She looked here and there searching for a specific book and finally she did...But wait! It was high up on the rack. She looked for a stool and stood on that... 

Meanwhile Neel entered the library for borrowing buisness study book. He moved through the racks searching for the book. Suddenly, he heard a kut kut sound. He looked behind and saw a girl trying to pick a book from the top shelf and the stool was unstable. He was about to warn her but was late. The stool almost toppled and Avnii fell down on.....Neel......Neel lost his balance and both fell down on the floor. Neil bellow and Avnii on him...a long eye contact followed...

The wind made Neel's view easier. Avnii's hair flew behind and Neel could see her beauty distinctly. He started check her doe shaped eyes ...lips and the mole. His heart almost skipped a beat. 

Avnii was the first one to move away.

Avnii: Sorry...sorry...

She stood up and Neel also stood up.

Neel: It's okay. Tum thik ho...

Avnii: Hmmm...

Neel: Waise itna upar kyu chadd rahi thi.....

Avnii: Wo...wo book chahiye tha...

Neel: Konsa...

Avnii: Wo wala.....

Neel: Arre ye hi book to mujhe bhi chahiye thi...

Avnii makes a sad pout thinking that he will take it...

Neel (thinks): Kitni cute ho tum...tumse kaise book cheen lu...

Neel: Koi baat nahi ...tum ye book rakhlo.

Avnii: Thank you.

Avnii was about to leave when Neel called her...

Neel: Arre apna naam to batati jao.

Avnii: Main ajnabiyo ko apna naam nahi batati...

Neel: Par hum abb ajnabii thodi hai.....

Avnii smiles and leaves....

Bichaare Neel ka heart ka pace 2 times se bhi jyada badh gaya...It was a love at first sight for him...
