Struggling through odds, the three groups finally reached the last stage and they are determined like never before to win the title.

It became personal and individual. They are like three political parties who are trying to own the chair.

The college is getting adorned for the event.Seperate teams and volunteers are assigned for every thing to make the work easy and successful.

Milan is also in the internet and hundreds of students started registration. Many business magnets and prominent persons commented about it.

It's is going to be the biggest event and no stone is left being unturned to make it the brightest.

The three teams are in the huge room used for rehearsals or for dance practice.

Preetha and her friends are practicing hard,

Preetha: Mera hogaya! Mujhe rest chahiye.

She sits on the floor,her back on the wall and knees bent,

Sandy: Mouse heina! Thumhara energy kam hi hogi!

Preetha glares and searches for something when she sees a towel, she throws it on him and he catches it,

Sandy: Ye towel mujhe kya karega?

He brags when something hard hits his head, everyone laugh seeing his confused but pained expression. Seeing the remote on the floor,he understands that Preetha has thrown it.

Sandy: Thumne mera upar remote feka? Mera sar ko kuch hogaya tho?

Preetha: Uss pathar ko kya hoga?

And everyone bursts into laughter while he glares at Preetha who is also chuckling. He goes to catch her, she escapes and he runs behind her.

Sandy: You mouse..... Stop!

Preetha: Dekha mera energy levels chimpanzee!

Sandy: I am not chimpanzee!

Preetha: I am also not mouse!

Their banter continues. While running Preetha goes across the door. At the same time Karan enters and Preetha stops seeing him. But sensing Sandy behind, she immediately goes behind Karan and stands while Sandy being the bulb collides with Karan.

There's a minute silence. Sandy doesn't understand anything and when his bulb lightens he gets startled.

Sandy: S.....so....So.......

Preetha is trying so hard to stifle her laugh while Sandy is shaking in fear,

Sandy: I....I....I a.....

He is unable to complete while Karan just nods and moves to his team who are on the other end.

Everyone laughs so hard seeing the whole situation while Sandy wipes the sweat.

Vicky gives him water bottle, he drinks the whole to calm himself.

Sandy: It's scaring.

Vicky: Darpok!

They again burst into laughter when Rishi enters surprised as why his friends are chortling so loudly.

Vicky says what happened he also laughs,
but as soon as he hears Karan's name his smile lessen.

Meera: So how does it feel to bump with Hitler?

They are teasing him so bad,

Sandy: Stop it yaar.(they giggle) But really I felt like I collided with a rock. Did you see I had fallen back but he remained straight like he didn't feel anything. God.....wo insaan nai pathar hein. Pathar.

Preetha stops laughing and slaps on his arm,

Preetha: Wo koi pathar nai hein. He is just strong.

Vicky: Dekho kaun defend kar rai Hitler ko?

Preetha: Mein bas facts batha rahi hu. And (she slams Vicky too) don't call him that. It's my name.

Vicky: Ok ok Sorry!

Preetha: Good!

Veeksha: Vicky se thumne Sorry bulvaliya. You are great!

Meera: That is Preetha Arora!

Preetha giggles,

Preetha: Haa! Acha Mein drinks keliye ja rahi hu kisiko aane ka man hein ?

She asks the girls and they leave with her.

Vicky: Manna padega.........That is Preetha Arora. What a scene she gave us in the morning!

He laughs seeing Sandy,

Sandy: Hehehe! Mera chodo aur usko dekho kaise ghur rai?

He divers the topic to Rishi who is staring Preetha,

Vicky: Wo bas ghur hi kartha hein!

They chuckle  but Rishi stays silent,

Sandy: Mr.Romeo ab thum aise hi dekhte rahoge ya thumhara Juliet ko apni dil ki baath bhi bathaoge?

Vicky: Kaun bathayega? Yeh? (Smacks on Rishi's arm) He keeps on waiting for the right time while someone would come and take her away.

They both hifi when Rishi suddenly remembers what he noticed on Karan's pen.

Rishi(mind): P❤️K! K for Karan but who is P?

Unintentionally he sees Preetha at the water cooler giggling and don't know what happened to him he says something which surprises his friends.

Rishi: I am gonna tell her.

They both see each other,

Vicky: When?

Sandy(drinking water): After 10 years.

He chuckles,

Rishi: On the day of Milan. When we receive the title I will tell her on the stage (looking at Karan) before everyone.

Vicky leaves his mobile while Sandy chokes on water,

Sandy: Re.....really?

He gives them a definite and confident look,

Sandy: Woooh! Oh my god!

He shout,

Sandy: I can't believe.

Vicky: Finally you decided.

He hugs him,

Vicky: But will she accept?

Sandy: I think she doesn't have anyone.

Rishi: Ofcourse. I know her.

They have a group hug happy while the girls come frowning,

Meera: Kya hua? Pagal ki tarah kyun has rahe ho?

Sandy: Agar thum jaanlogi tho thum bhi pagal ho jaoge!

Veeksha: kya hein?

Sandy: Aa....

He is about to say when Vicky slaps him on his head indicating him to shut his mouth.

Preetha: Kya hua chimpanzee?

Sandy glares her,

Vicky: Kuch nai.

Veeksha(doubtful): Aise tho nai lag rahi hein. Aap log kuch hide kar rahe ho kya?

The two boys glare Sandy while girls see them suspiciously,

Preetha: Teddy?

Rishi keeps his arm around her shoulder,

Rishi: Kuch nai Mickey. Now show me the steps for that music.

Just like that they forget the topic and start practicing with Rishi preparing for two events of his life.

A Day Before Milan

As tomorrow is the final day of competition, Preetha decides to visit Siddi Vinayak temple. She is getting ready when Rishi calls her,

Rishi: Mickey ready hona thum?

He is standing with his bike near the hostel,

Preetha: Thum pichle 15 minutes mein das baar call kiya hein. Saara time thumhara calls uthne mein hi lag gayi. Aur kya ready hounga mein?

Rishi(annoyed): Thum itna time kyun le rahi ho?

Preetha(surprised): Tell me one thing. Every year I have to force you to come with me. Now you are being impatient to go. What happened?

Rishi: Nothing yaar.I just wanna go.

Preetha: That's what I am asking.Why do you wanna go suddenly?

Rishi: What? Saara aashirvad thum hi loge kya mujhe bhi aashirvad chahiye.

Preetha: Kiskeliye?

Rishi: (mind) Hamare liye!(to her) Kal keliye obviously!

She sighs,

Preetha: Ok.20 minutes.Mein aajaungi.

Rishi: Another 20 minutes?

Preetha: Ha. And don't call me till I come!

Without waiting his reply,she cuts the call.

Dressed up in a baby pink shirt and blue jeans,she calls Karan.

He is in his car going to office. Seeing her call he lifts it,

Karan: Hello!

Preetha: Hey!

As the mobile is connected to blutooth her voice reverberates in the car,he sighs listening it.

Karan: Kya kar rahi ho?

Preetha: Mein mandir ja rahi hu.

Karan: Kaun sa Mandir?

Preetha: Siddi Vinayak temple.

Karan(frowns): But it's so long?

Preetha: Dad's birthday is in this week and I always visit that temple for him.

She gives the reasons rather answering his question,

Karan: Ok! Then we can go after two days.There's still time.

Preetha(convincing): Yeah......but tomorrow is also important for me. We worked so hard and I don't want anything to go wrong.

He knows what she is doing,

Karan: Whatever you say I won't let you go.

Preetha(cutely): Please?

Karan: No Preetha! I have seen the area. It doesn't look good. We will go next week if you want but not now. I won't let you go alone.

Preetha: But karan I am not going alone.

Karan: Huh?

Preetha: Teddy is coming with me.

Unknowingly he applies more pressure to the accelerator,

Karan: Still no! If you start now you would return by night. It's not safe to travel at that time in that area.

Preetha: It's just afternoon now.I will be here by evening Karan. Please... please.....

Karan: But.....

Preetha: Rishi is with me Karan. He will keep me safe.I assure you.

And Karan stops saying what he wants to,

Preetha: Please.... please for this time!

Karan helplessly humms.

Preetha(happily): Thank you......thank you! Will talk to you later Karan. I am getting late.Rishi is waiting for me.Bye.

She ends the call and checks her bag. Satisfied,she goes outside locking her room.

Karan: Rishi.....Rishi....Rishi..... What's happening?

He changes the gear totally frustrated speeding his car.

On the other side,

Preetha and Rishi reach the temple on bike within 2 hours.

Following the customs,she stands before God praying for the strength, her family and Karan. Rishi stands beside her and glancing at her once he closes his eyes seeking his blessings for the biggest day.

Spending some peaceful time in the temple, they start to the college.

It's almost dawn when they are passing through the single road. Rishi slows down the bike seeing a warning board and barricades placed across.

Rishi: Mickey did you see them when we were coming?

Preetha: I didn't observe.

Rishi: I clearly remember they were not there before.Then how come suddenly?

Preetha: The road is not in good condition teddy and it might have broken down. The sign shows other route.Take that one.

Rishi(dubious): But it doesn't look like that.

Preetha: Ufffo.Stop thinking and take that one.C'mon!

She whines and Rishi reluctantly takes the turn as showed in the sign.

Their path is deserted and dark when they see sudden flash of lights infront. Rishi suddenly applies brakes when they see two  persons coming front covered in black except their eyes.

Rishi and Preetha knew something is wrong and they look at each other.

Rishi: What do you want?

They doesn't speak but walks towards them and forcefully drag them.

Preetha and Rishi shouts but he won't stop and suddenly she stops moving though he is using his force. He turns to see only to be met by a hard punch on the nose.

He immediately leaves her cupping his nose when Rishi uses this time to kick the other on the butt.

The one who Preetha punched angrily strides towards her and holds her through neck from back. He is tightening his hold when Preetha digs her nails in his forearm resulting him loosening his grip. She immediately frees herself and punches him on the face,in the stomach. He falls down unable to bear the pain when she fractures his feet by twisting it.

Rishi tackles the other person bringing him to the same position as his friend.

Preetha: Do you think girls are weak? They can't fight you.Then the time has come to change your mindsets. You bloody rascals.

As a business student,she follows newspaper daily in which most of the news is about girls harrasment. She wants to kick the person or make him disabled whenever she comes across such a news. And now she got the opportunity, she shows all her pent up anger on this guy who cannot even move his limb anymore.

Rishi tries to stop her but she doesn't listen and continue giving him kicks when he lifts her from back and walks away to their bike.

Preetha: Chodo....chodo.

She is wiggling,

Preetha: Mein thumhe nai chodungi.

She yells while the person lying on the ground cowers seeing her angry state,

Rishi: Stop! You already beat him to blood.

Preetha: There is still much blood in his body.

She again tries to go but he stops

Rishi: We have to move from here Mickey. We don't know if there are many guys around. We might be in danger.

He pleads and she calms down sensing he is stating the possibilities.

Rishi takes the bike from the ground and sits on it to drive checking the essentials. Preetha sits back and they drive to the same road which they came earlier.

Preetha meanwhile calls the police and files a report informing them what happened.

He stops the bike after non-stop driving and she gets surprised,

Preetha: I wanna go to hostel.

Rishi: Shut up! You need first aid. Look at the scratches you got.

He shows the red lines on her palm and arms,

Preetha: I could have gone to medical room.Drop me at hostel teddy.

Rishi: Nah.Not this time.Its been months since you saw them. After summer vacation you didn't come here and Mom is pestering me everyday. I thought to put a full stop to it.

Parking the bike, he walks and she follows inside the blue villa.

Rishi's mom gets surprised seeing Preetha and welcomes her with a mom hug. She instantly gets relaxed and comfortable.

Aiding her wounds and feeding her till the throat, they leave her in her room.

Lying on the bed, Preetha's eyes droops as she is so tired of beating.She walks into her dream land completely forgetting about the phone which she lost during fighting and which is now ringing showing 'Hitler' calling.

And continues in the next part.......

Wohhh! Preetha in action!
