Her legs stopped taking any further steps as her eyes fell on the destination she was asked to reach...

Naina - " Bhaiyya..."

She took her Naveen's name out of habbit, and saw here and there to look for some other student joined the same club... But found none..... The whole area was deserted, sending chilly negative vibes surpass her random thinking powers...

Taking few steps back, she turned to go back but she saw a board of directions indicating 190 - 205 room numbers are inside the samw building... she was asked to be there on time... And as a obedient student she was not meant to double cross the order...
She need to be reach Room Number 202...

Holding the materials close to her heart, she corrected her dupatta protecting herself from scaryred waves...And pushed the door...
It got opened with a creepy sound which echoed in whole space... few dust particles also took courage to enter Naina's eyes...

Rubbing her moist eyes, she peeped inside the hallway, atleast hoping to spot someone... And welcomed with a pitch of silence..

Naina - " Yaha toh koyi bhi nahi he... " Then thinking of something,
" May be seniors ki koyi prank hogi..."
A random thought crossed her mind...along with few negative thoughts...

Covering her nose with dupatta, she walked towards the stairs, aimed to reach her destination...
She is the strong brave Gudiya of her bhaiyya... and her bhaiyya didn't taught her to run away from her duties...

Ascending tbe steps, her eyes caught few fresh footsteps on the stairs indicating that the way was used before. She thought may be few students who chose the same club must have gone through the way.... It filled a little strength to walk forward...

The whole area was looking creepy even in the broad day light. She was climbing tbe stairs not letting her eyes go off of direction. Passing the room one by one, she reached the last corridor and a soothing tone of music reached her ears...

She guessed it to be sound of piano... and amused to hear music in academic club..
As her steps got near to the room the voice became more stronger... She was feeling light as the tone really calmed her nerves down...

Finally reaching the Room Number 202,
She held the door's knob, and rotated it slowly to enter, not before taking a deep breath...

And saw....

Rajveer dancing there alone...with his hands lifted in air, legs moving freely...
Peace was clearly visible on his face and his eyes were closed, enjoying with his inner self..

She stood at the door, gawking at him without blinking her eyes.... unconsciously she was getting dragged to him, like a iron idol pulled towards the magnetic force....
Her fears regarding the deserted place was long gone..

Unaware of her presence he was swaying matching the rhythm.... Sticks of clock went on twirling three times around their floor and the song changed to a loud one...

Naina came out of the spell recalled her intension of visiting this place. She need to be in Academic Club's inauguration program now. But the place was indeed deserted except him.... May be Ali read the room number wrong... She turned to leave the place as soon as possible. She cant waste her precious time...

By now Rajveer opened his eyes to change the song, caught a orange dupatta intruding his space....
Alekh and Gunny left the place long ago and then who can it be now.???...
He was dead surprised to find some girl there...

Rajveer - " Kaun he ???.."
He called with a high pitch startling Naina as it got echoed frightening the birds...

She thought to slip from there not wanting to face him... and tried to ran away...
But the author was smart enough to fix her dupatta with the lock of the door...

She felt herself pulled back and let her hand to free the dupatta not showing her face...

Rajveer - " Aree... Kaun ho tum ???..."
He neared her in hurry as her fingers were about to chop down due to sharp edge of the rusted lock...

Rajveer just standing behind the door,
" Rukoo... Main nikal ke deta hu..."
He rotated the lock to free her dupatta and analysed her next step..that she will be following Ussain bolt...

Along with her dupatta, he caught her wrist, and asked in a rough tonw,
" Ho kaun tum??? Kahii first year se toh nahi?..."

Naina shut her eyes tightly.... Hee situation was similar to a mouse stuck in the trap...
She wasn't afraid of him... But what she saw in the morning made her think slight differently....

Not getting any answers from her, he unbounded her hand pitying that she must lost her way... But there was a warning infront of the building..that no one should enter it without permission. Did she enter after knowing the matter???..

Before Naina could think of running, he tugged her inside tbe room....

Naina - " Ahhahhhh..."
Shw let out a scream as his nails were sharp...

Rajveer - " Tum??.."
He asked softly... not at all expecting her there...

Naina - " Hu..."
Hummed in response...

Rajveer stared her from head to toe, inspecting this accidental lady sudden fell in his life...

Naina - " Aaj clubs ke inauguration programs he toh main yaha aagayi..."
She explained feeling strange to get stared by him... It wasn't negative or dirty but standing like a mannequin infront of him, was bringing the shy Naina back...

Rajveer sctacthing his jaw line,
" Yaha Koyi bhi program nahi he. Tumse kisne kaha yaha aane ko??? Aur dhyan kaha he tumhara, dikhta nahi bahar board lagi he... Ander aana mana he..."
He scolded her out of habbit of having a rude conservation witb people..

When she met him for the first time he was almost nice to her and in second time he was good. Of course he talked less but not behaved this rudely to her. Her heart got hurt with his little agressive words. No one ever dared to talk to her like this. She will definitely going to complaint about him to her bhaiyya... She made a mental note...

Rajveer snapped her by clicking his fingers,
" Kaha khoo gayi?? Fresher ho iska matlab yeh nahi ki jab man chaaa...."
He stopped abruptly witnessing her rabbit face and damped eyelashes...and realised what he had done.

He instantly passed his bottle to hee asking to have water...

Rajveer - " I'm sorry. " He whispered, holding his ears. And felt strange at himself behaving like that to her. She wasn't his childhood friend or girlfriend. Why is he getting so emotional towards her!

Naina sipping water,
" It's okay. "

Rajveer - " Konsa Club he tumhara? "

Naina - " Academic. "

Rajveer - " Boring... " He muttered under his breath, and continued,
" Aue yaha ka pata kisne di???.."

Naina - " Mera dost he na Ali usne. Lekin aane se phehle maine bhi padha tha Room number 202 hi likha tha uspe..."
She confirmed..

Rajveer talking to himself in a quite loud tone, " Academic Club toh auditorium mein hota he. Fir yaha ka address kisne likhdi??.." then he moved his eyes on Naina,
" Tumhare haath mein joh letter he... " .

Naina - " Club ke material he..." she gave him few papers,
" May be is baar yaha inauguration ka venue badal gaya ho.. "
She threw a random guess ..

Rajveer reading the letters,
" Yaha kuch nahi hota. Waise bhi yeh kuch mahino mein demolish ho jaayega.   "

Naina rotating her eyes,
" Kyun? Jagah toh achcha he. Renovation karvayenge toh yeh...."

She stopped feeling his sharp gaze on her...

Rajveer - " Ismein toh Community Service and Social Justice Club ka naam likha he.."
He showed her the paper .

Naina - " Nahi toh. I applied for Academics. I clearly remember..."
She snatched them from him and read it again...

Rajveer - " You are stuck Naina. Galti ki koyi jagah nahi hoti Green Valley mein. And...for your...." He touched her forehead witb his index finger refering to the kismat,

" CSSJ ka faculty advisor the great RK yaanii Rithesh Karmakar he joh tumhe is club sw jaane bhi nahi dega .. "
He hopped on the table, sitting on the edge... His eyes were carefully observing the sweat beads forming on her face one by one...

Naina - " Ab main kyaa karun??...." .
She asked innocently.  .

Rajveer - " Chup Chap unke orders maan na bus .."
He said calmly..... drinking water from the bottle...

Naina collected her materials to leave, and remembered,.
" Aap yaha kyaa kar rahe ho? Aapke club ka venue he yeh???..."
She asked dimly...

Rajveer - " Political Club.... Aur yaha pe dobara dikhna nahi..."
He warned opening the door wide for her...

Naina - " Kyun ??...
Main fresher hoon na. I should know..."
She added the last line seeing his rude expression...

Rajveer - " it's deserted. No one comes here. It's not safe for you and....and...."
He thought for a while to pickup some strong reason...as he wasn't allowed to tell her the truth... He don't want her to get scared....

Naina - " You are here. Toh it's safe for ..."

Cutting her words he uttered,
" Tumne apna inauguration nahi karwana? I mean club ka... You are already late Naina.."
He made her realise the loss of time and took hee away from the room...holding her hand in hurry, running away from her questionnaire...

She too follwed him, and in daze her face was about to get kissed by the wall as he was literally dragging her....

Naina tugged her back, saving her face, and noticed something written on the wall...
She read it loud...

" Ni....khat...."

And felt Rajveer's hands going cold all of a sudden..
