Next day Sameer reached college early than his usual time with Munna Pandit and waited for girls at parking area, like her old school days... he wants to revive all their memories to convince her...

Munna asked, "yaar tera phir subah subah jaldi aana shuru ho gaya... school tak toh theek tha ab college mein bhi..."

Pandit laughed hitting on his head, "Munna tu ab bhi nahin samjha, yeh humein school mein buddhu bana kar, Naina ko dekhne ke liye parking mein rukta tha.... tujhse gappe maarna toh bahana tha..."

Munna realized and hit him hard on his arm, "abbey poore saal tu ne mera buddhu banaya... chhodunga nahin tujhe... tu meri aad mein meri hi behen jaisi dost ko patane mein laga tha... aur humein bhanak tak nahin huyi"

Sameer makes cute puppy face and hold his ears for sorry, "yaar aur koi raasta bhi toh nahin tha.. alag alag class mein the, toh aur kya karta mein... please maaf kar de na... aur soch hamare pyaar ki dua se hi toh tujhe teri Swati bhi toh mili..."

Mundit looked at him and laughed, "chal teri love story ke liye tujhe maaf kiya" they hugged each other recalling their old days when Sameer keeps making them fool to remain around Naina... he tells all his ideas and tactics to get close to Naina making them shocked

In few minutes later, they saw girls are coming from the gate and Naina shocked to see him standing there... she recalled how earlier she always waited to see him at school gate...

Naina irritatingly hiding her emotion, "yaar ab subah subah ye phir shuru ho gaya.. please Preeti mere saath hi rehna..."

Preeti, hiding her smile, turned to her, "haan haan tu ghabra mat, mein hun na tere saath... mein bhi dekhti hoon kaise koi tujhe pareshaan karta hai..."

They came inside and greeted by boys...

Sameer smiled widely seeing her, "morning Naina, sorry sorry... classmate .. kaisi ho..."

Naina didn't respond him but move forward to class... he winks to all and join her to go together in class...

Sameer followed her cutely asked, "Naina tumne jawaab nahin diya meri morning wish ka... atleast classmates ko morning wish toh kar hi sakte hai na... I am sure tumhara koi rule break nahin hoga..."

Naina didn't look at him and keep walking...

Sameer chuckled slightly still following her, "achchha koi baat nahin.. abhi nahin man toh mat karo wish... waise bhi ab poore din hum saath hi hai......kabhi bhi kar dena... mein vaise bhi tumhare saath hi rehne wala hun" he said confidently on his plan to stay around her...

She turned looking at him annoyingly but mesmerized in his always killing smile... he took a step ahead said lovingly...

Hazaron Uljhane raahon mein aur, Koshishe behisaab,

Isi ka naam hai Zindagi, Chalte rahiye janaab...

He stepped ahead leaving her standing in shock hearing his shayari... he turned back to her and said, "vaise maine nahin likha, pada tha kahin toh laga is situation par fit baithega toh bol diya... ab chalo na, kitni der karwati ho class ke liye..." he winked to tease her more... she shook her head annoyingly and moved to class looking other side ignoring him....

They entered class and Naina went ahead towards her seat and sit there... again Sameer sits next to her avoiding her glares... after a minute all 4 joins them and saw Sameer sitting with Naina.. Naina gives a pleading look to Preeti...

Preeti: Sameer please thodi der udhar baith jao na... mujhe Naina ke saath baithna hai...

Seeing Naina upset and on verge to cry, he stood from there and went back to sit in second row adjacent to her seat with Mundit after saying, "ab classmate ki itani baat toh manani hi padegi na... aakhir naye naye classmate ke rule jo follow karne hai mujhe"

Preeti sits with Naina and Swati also joined them...

Munna, "kyaa hua tu uth kyun gaya.. aise kaise manayega usko..."

Sameer wiped his own wet eyes, "I know yaar... par tu ne uski aankhen dekhi.. lag raha hai jaise raat bhar royi hai... I can't force her too much... dheere dheere hi usse samjhana padega..."

Pandit, "haan yaar... kahin aisa na ho ki voh college aana hi chhod de... yaad hai na Preeti ne bataya tha ki kitni mushkil se college aane ke liye maani thi... accident ke baad se toh us ne ghar se nikalna bhi chhod diya tha... humein toh ummid hi nahin thi ki voh college bhi aayegi"

Munna said comforting him, "it's okay yaar, chal baithate hai... kuchh idea lagana padega vaise bhi abhi toh pura din pada hai..."

JBR enters and class starts... Naina was so restless today...

Naina POV

College mein enter hote hi usse saamne dekh kar school ke din yaad aa gaye.. kaise voh roj mera intzaar karta tha.. par aaj laga ki kyun kar raha hai... mein usse dukh ke alawa kuchh nahin de sakti.. usse samajh kyun nahin aa raha...

Pehle jabardasti mere saath class tak aaya... aur janaab ne ek naya shok aur paal liya hai... shayari ka (she smiled a bit) kitna payara lag raha tha, phir zid karke mere saath class tak aaya aut mere saath hi baith bhi gaya, par phir achanak uth kar bhi chala gaya, kuchh bhi karta hai... aakhir chahta kya hai... aur mein khud samajh nahin paa rahi ki kyun mujhe uska uth kar jaana achchha nahin laga... mein to nahin chahti thi ki voh mere aas paas bhi rahe par kyun usaka jaana mujhe takleef de raha hai... kya karun.. kuchh samajh nahin aa raha.. kitna confuse kar rakha hai iss ladke ne mujhe...

She turned to see towards him, and he was looking to her only... he smiles but she turned back without response...

Sameer POV

Ek baar pyaar se muskura kar dekha bhi nahin... kitni taiyari ki thi ki jaate hi yeh bolunga, voh bolunga, par uska udaas chehra, nam aankhen dekh kar saari himmat toot jaati hai..... kitni mushkil se Hindi ki shayari yaad ki thi, ek baar taarif hi kar deti, ulta munh bhi dusri taraf ghuma liya... par koi nahin kab tak najare churayegi mujhse....

Dekh kar bhi andekha kar dena koi tumse seekhe

Khamoshi tumhari Cheekh se bhi tez goonjti hai....

After class gets over, Munna Pandit joined girls and chatting with them... seeing Sameer sitting alone Sunaina comes to Sameer...

Sunaina, "what happen Sameer.. aaj tum us behenji ke paas nahin baithe... it's okay I think ab tumhein samajh aa gaya hoga ki apne level ke logon se hi milna julna chachiye..."

Sameer shouts stopping her, "bas Sunaina... shut up... khabardaar agar aage se mere doston ke baare mein kuchh bhi kaha toh mujhse bura koi nahin hoga..." all turned looking towards him and surprised seeing him in so much anger...

Sameer controlling his anger said calmly, "look, mein tumhein aakhiri baar samjha raha hu.. hum sab ek hi class mein hai toh better you start behaves nicely with all... aur agar nahin behave kar sakti toh better hoga tum sabse dur raho apni duniya mein... vaise bhi hum mein se koi bhi tumse dosti karne mein interested nahin, so stay away..."

He leans towards her and in low but threatening tone warned her, "especially with Naina... agar aaj ke baad tumne jara sa bhi misbehave kiya Naina ke saath to dekhna mein kya karta hoon..." he seeped his anger to avoid creating scene but can't forget how she insulted her few days back...

Sunaina left from there angrily and frustrated thinking how can Sameer shouts and warned her for Naina... her anger and hate for Naina increases more...

Munna Pandit, "Sameer yaar, chhod us chhipkali ko... chal kuchh kha kar aate hai..."

Sameer keeping himself calm agreed to them, "haan chalo..." he move towards Naina asking, "chalen Naina..."

Naina ignored him and turned to Preeti, "Preeti... mein yahin theek hun... you all please go..."

Sameer request again, "please Naina... chalo na yaar... tumne aaj tak canteen dekhi bhi nahin hai... at least college life ka maja sabse jyaada canteen mein hi aata hai..." she didn't agree to go even after so much pleading from all...

Sameer finally gave up, "okay guys... you carry on... I am also not coming..." he went back to his seat and sits there with grumpy face...

Munna tried to convince him, "chal na yaar... aise bhookha rahega kya... aaj jaldi aane ke chakkar mein tune naashta bhi nahin kiya... please chal le aur kuchh kha le..."

Sameer replied stubbornly, "maine kaha na mein nahin ja raha... vaise bhi mein bhukha rahoon ya nahin kisi ko kya farq padta hai..." he said emotionally winking to Munna, "jaao tum log jaa kar enjoy karo aur khaana kha lo... ek din nahin khaane se mujhe kaun sa chakkar aa jayenge ya mein behosh ho jaaunga..." all understood his antics and left for canteen leaving two of them alone in room...

Naina keeps on sitting on her seat but didn't say anything .. (in her mind), "kitna pareshaan karega yeh mujhe... ek to subah se kuchh nahin khaya hai aur ab canteen bhi nahin ja raha... kahin bimaar pad gaya toh... lekin ab mein kya karun... pehle toh kitna shaant sa rehta tha, kabhi aise zid nahin karta tha lekin iss ek saal mein ek number ka ziddi ban gaya hai..."

Sameer was sitting on his seat only with grumpy face like a kid waiting for her to make first move...

Finally, Naina gives up and calls him, "Sameer... please suno na..."

Sameer didn't respond... Naina again called him again from her seat only, "Sameer please suno na..."

Still no response... Sameer (fight between dil aur dimaag) : Yaar itane pyar se please kah rahi hai.. chala jaata hun, jyada bhaav nahin khaana chahiye... itne pyar se bolne par to mein jaan bhi de du...

His mind rebuke, "No ways... usane jara sa please kaha aur mein pighal jaaun.. control Sameer Control... thodi der aur dekh kya pata aaj dosti bhi kar le..."

His heart rebuke more, "how selfish... usey pareshaan karke dosti karwayega... itne pyaar se bula rahi hai ki control nahin ho raha... jaaun kya... achchha do minute aur phir baat kar lunga.. par yaar yeh do minute kitni der mein khatm honge..."

Finally, seeing no response, she gave up and get up from her seat ... she stands with holding desk for support and walk a step towards him... seeing her coming towards him, he immediately rushes to her and hold her hand...

Sameer asked showing fake anger, "kya hai... ab kahaan jaana hai tumhein?"

Naina in low voice, "mujhe nahin tumhein jaana hai... Sameer please canteen chale jao na... kuchh kha lo.. dekho aise bhukhe rahoge to bimaar pad jaoge..."

Sameer asked naughtily, "achchha... tumhein badi chinta ho rahi hai meri... agar itni parwaah hai toh chalo na mere saath..."

She looked down and moved to go back to her seat... he supports her holding form shoulder and makes her sit comfortably... he himself kneeled in front of her, holding both her hands tightly in his...

Sameer asked softly, "kya hua hai Naina, aise saari duniya se chhup kar, yun akele rehna kya theek hai... kis baat ka darr hai tumhein... hum sab tumhare saath hai..."

Naina : tum nahin samjhoge Sameer...

Sameer, "haan to theek hai na.. tum samjha do... bolo... bolo tumhare man mein kya hai... kya tum nahin chahti ki college life sabke saath enjoy karo... yun akele class mein baithe rehna... kya yeh theek hai.... itane dinon mein ek baar bhi tumne college tak nahin ghuma..."

Naina'e eyes got misty, "Sameer mujhse ... mujhse yeh sab handle nahin hota... bahut kamjor feel hota hai... ek darr sa laga rahta hai... kaise bataun tumhein... college aana hi badi baat hai mere liye aur uspar yahaan yeh sab.... main nahin kar paaungi..."

Sameer holds her hand firmly giving her confidence, "Naina, meri taraf dekho.... Please ek baar..."

She lifts her face a bit to see him....

Sameer asked, "tumhein kya lagta hai Naina... tumhari behen, tumhare dost, kya yeh sab tumhein aise dekh kar khush rah payenge... tumhein pata hai kitna miss karte hai sab apni purani vali Naina ko, jiski muskurahat kabhi usake chehre se alag nahin hoti thi... Naina, tumne aisa kuchh nahin kiya hai ki tum sabse daro ya chhupo ya sharminda ho... tumhein apne liye toh khush rehna seekhna hi hoga na... aise kab tak chup chap udaas si baithi rahogi yun aur kyun..."

After a pause, looking straight into her eyes he asked in stern voice, "bharosa hai mujh par... bolo..."

She freezes for few moments hearing him asking how much she trust him... how can she deny his such polite and cute request... she slightly nodded her head making him smile with a relief...

Sameer stood up holding her hand, "toh ab koi aur sawaal jawaab nahin bas chalo mere saath... promise tumhein kuchh nahin hone dunga... mein ek baar tumhara vishwas tod chuka hoon but believe mein aisa dobara kabhi nahin hoga" he again apologizes for his mistake to not supports her

Naina keeps looking to him for some time and then finally smiles hesitantly... she got up from her seat... he picked up her bag and crutches giving it to her.. he holds her other hand for support and said to make her smile (naughtily), "chalein madam... bahut bhookh lagi hai... tumhare chakkar mein kahin sach mein chakkar na aa jaye... phir tumhein hi sambhalna padega... soch lo"

They left the class and move towards canteen. He was still holding her hand to assure she would be safe and comfortable with him. He can feel slight shiver in her hand while walking outside in corridor and feel that how much nervous she is. He looks towards her giving the most convincing assuring smile to relieve her.

They entered in canteen and headed to the table occupied by their friends... seeing Naina there they all get so much happy and Swapree hug her... 

Munna Pandit hug Sameer and whisper in his ears, "bhai mubarak ho.. ek kadam toh aage bada..." they all settled back but Sameer sits next to her.

Munna exclaimed happily, "bhai aaj toh party honi chahiye... batao sab kya khaoge, aaj mein sab ko party dunga..... Naina tu bata kya legi aur Sameer tu?"

Naina replied hesitantly, "kuchh bhi jo tumhe achchha lage..."

Sameer looked at her, "kyun tumhari apani koi pasand nahin hai.... voh bolo jo tumhara dil karta hai... na ki jo auron ko pasand hai..."

Naina: okay baba... mere liye pao bhaji.....

Samundit together... yeh hui na baat.....

Munna (teasing to Sameer): aur tu kya khayega... kahe toh tere liye bhi pao bhaji hi le aau

Sameer winked naughtily, "Nahin mere paas aloo ke paranthe hai.." he leaned towards her and whisper in her ear, "voh bhi kisi special ke banaye huye haathon ke..." he said pointing towards Naina's bag lying at table...

Naina (in her mind), "isse kaise pata chala ki mein paranthe laayi hun voh bhi khud bana kar... kahin shayari ke saath jasusi bhi toh nahin shuru kar di... paagal hai pura..."

Sameer (giggled) : jyada socho mat... mujhe pata hai aaj parantha tumne apne haath se banaye hai... ab laao jaldi se do mujhe bahut bhookh lagi hai... aur waise bhi roj roj baahar ka khaana khaane se tabiyat bhi toh kharaab ho jati hai.. kyun theek kaha na maine..." he winks to make her shy...

Naina took out her tiffin and give it to him, smiled thinking, "same dialogue mera mujhe hi chipka diya..." he relishes the lunch but didn't allow anyone to even touch it...

After finishing their lunch, they all came back in class but this time she was with Swapree and Sameer was just walking behind her to assure her safety and his presence around her...
