They reached activity room for practice...

Sameer and Naina keep directing them to do correct steps but still there were no progress even after so much of practice. All got so tired and sit on floor only ..... fully exhausted.....

Sameer got frustrated : Yaar aise to bahut mushkil ho jayegi... kuchh samajh nahin aa raha.. in sab ka taal mel hi nahin hai ek dusre ke saath to couple dance kaise karenge...

Naina after thinking, said : ek idea hai toh par thoda ajeeb hai... pata nahin kaam karega ki bhi nahin..

Sameer : Bataao toh ... try karte hai... vaise bhi hamari sari koshishe fail ho chuki hai and competition mein sirf do teen din hi bache hai... aut inka toh haal hi bura hai....

Naina smiles : then let's try... ok guys now please I have a solution for this problem... just listen me.... Idhar aao sab..

Munna : Yaar abhi nahin bahut thak gaye hai... aur upar se yeh dance hamari jaan le raha hai...

Pandit : Haan Yaar ab koi naya step mat sikhana hum se to purane vale hi nahin ho rahe..

Naina : suno toh please ..... mein koi step ya practice ke liye nahin kah rahi... bas tum sab ek ghante ke liye voh karo jo mein kah rahi hun voh bhi bina sawaal jawaab ke.. bolo ready ho..

Rohan (winks to Sameer and look towards Naina) : mein to aapki har baat manane ke liye ready hun.. aap batao toh sahi.....

Naina smile : Okay, to suno, ab Rohan-Preeti, Munna-Swati, Pandit-Priya, tum sab poore ek ghante ke liye apane apane partners ke saath akele mein time spent karoge... kahin bhi par akele akele.. jaise Munna tu aur Swati baahar garden mein chale jao, Rohan tum aur Preeti kisi bhi khaali classroom mein chale jao aur Pandit tu aur Priya canteen mein chale jaao..... ek dusre ke saath khoob saari baatein karo, kuchh bhi discuss karo.. hanso, bolo, baat karo, masti karo, kuchh bhi karo...... aur usake baad humse yahin activity room mein milna... baaki ki practice hum usake baad karenge......

All : Yeh kyun... ab isse kya hoga...

Naina : Please maine kahaa naa tum sab jao aur ek ghante baad hum sab yahin milenge... aur Preeti Rohan – No fight... samjhe....

They all nodded and left as said by Naina with giving a strange look...

Sameer was seeing it all surprisingly... he took a chair and sit close to her and asked..

Sameer asked impatiently : ab mujhe bataogi yeh sab kya hai... matlab is sab se dance ka kya lena dena...

Naina (smilingly) : lena dena hai Sameer... dekho partnership tabhi success hoti hai jab sab ek dusre ke saath milkar chale... ek dusre par trust kare, bharosa kare, ek dusre ko jaane, pehchaane, kareeb se..... aur iss group mein toh ladke ek saath hai aur ladkiyaan ek saath... matlab alag alag.. as a couple..

After a pause, she continued : Pata hai couple dance ke liye inke steps nahin inka dil, dimaag ek saath hona chahiye... like ek jo step kare dusra usko bina kahe follow kare... like complete trust and faith on your partner.. aur shayad jab yeh akele mein ek dusre ke saath waqt bitayenge to ek dusre ko achchhe se samjhenge.... vaise toh Munna Swati pehle se hi saath hai par aise couple dance unke liye bhi naya hai, Priya se Pandit do din pehle hi mila hai usse janta bhi nahin aur Rohan Preeti ka to tum jante hi ho.. (laughing)... ab aise mein inse couple dance ki ummid to mushkil hai na... so I just try this idea... dekhe kya hota hai...

Sameer keep on listening her without even blinking ... Naina feels shy by his intense gaze on her...

Naina snapped her hand in front on his face : Sameer kya hua... tum kuchh bol nahin rahe...

Sameer (surprisingly & happily) : Naina, I can't believe... matlab tum yeh sab ... kitni gahrai hai tumhari baaton mein ... matlab tum har rishte ko, har ehsaas ko kitni bariki se mehsoos karti ho... i am truly amazed and so lucky to have you in my life... (realized what he said) .. I mean as a friend.. promise me tum mera saath kabhi nahin chhodogi.....

Naina smiled and keep her hand on his hand : Promise, kabhi nahin...

Sameer : Naina ek baat puchhu, bura to nahin manogi... I mean.... agar tumhein bura na lage toh

Naina cut his sentence : Sameer, tumhein mujhse kuchh bhi puchhne ke liye itna sochne ki jarurat nahin hai...

Sameer : voh yeh sab aise dance... matlab I saw you dancing... you were a fabulous dancer... are you fine.. tumhein bura to nahin lag raha.. I mean agar tum chaho toh, you can avoid coming here and help them in practice, if it hurts you... mein tumhein dukhi nahin dekh sakta....

Naina slightly pressed his hand for assurance, "Sameer, I am fine.. sachchi.. yeh sab mere dost hai jo mujhse bahut pyaar karte hai... inki Khushi mein, mein bahut khush hun... haan ... I mean achchha lagta agar mein bhi inke saath... par koi nahin.. I am still happy for them... aur phir tum ho na mere saath... (laughing) aur in sab ko handle karne ke liye bhi toh koi chahiye... dekha hai na kaise dimaag khaate hai...

Sameer smiles thinking how lucky he is having her in his life..... kitna saaf aur sachcha dil hai iska jo apna dard bhula kar apne doston ki Khushi mein khush hai... shayad isiliye Munna Pandit Preeti Swati iske liye itna concern rehte hai, isse itna pyar karte hai.. but very true she really deserves it... aur ab iski khushiyon ki zimmedari meri...

Naina : Sameer kahan kho gaye.. kya sochne lag jaate ho baar baar....

Sameer : kuchh nahin, bas aise hi...

Naina : achchha batao tum kaun sa gaana gaane vale ho... mujhe bhi nahin bataoge ...

Sameer smiled mischievously : Sorry, but it's a surprise... hope tumhein achchha lagega...

Then only all six comes back one by one, talking and laughing with each other after spending good quality time with their partners...

Naina : okay ab bahut time waste ho gaya... let's start practice...

And this time they dance quite well with holding each other hands, matching their steps and good co-ordination... Sameer's eyes gave an appreciation look to her which she accepts it with smile...

They practice hard for next two days and decide on their outfit, matching colors and accessories. Even they all six go to market for buying essentials required during college time, so Sameer Naina was alone in canteen....

Sameer : Naina, tum kal kya pahnogi... kuchh special decide kiya hai?

Sameer(In his thoughts) vaise toh tum jo bhi pehlo kamaal ki lagti ho par kal mein chahta hun ki mein aur tum kuchh matching ka pehne...

Naina : Nahin, mujhe kya karna hai... it's just any normal dress will be okay for me

Sameer : Naina par kuchh toh different plan karo na... after all its our first party in college....

Naina (laughing) : theek hai, par sach kahun yeh sab mera nahin Preeti ka department hai... vohi sab decide karti hai... par tumne kyun puchha...

Sameer : Yaar voh to maine aise hi kah diya tha... it's okay leave it...

Saying this he changed the topic and then all six join them and they did last minute practice and decide all things for tomorrow... they all were very excited for their first dance in college that too couple dance... but our hero was excited for some oblivious reason unknown to all...

Girls reached home and inform Anand Bela that they will come back in late evening as after competition there is a party organized by college in premises only....

In night after dinner, Bela called Preeti in her room, "Sun Preeti, Naina abhi yahaan nahin hai isliye mein tujhse kah rahi hun... kal party ki masti mein uska saath mat chhod dena... uska dhyan rakhna ki voh theek rahe.. usse koi takleef na ho... samjhi.. tu janti hai usse aise bheed bhaad mein jaane ki aadat nahin hai usko...

Preeti (excitedly) : Mummy, aap chinta mat karo... ab Naina ke paas uska personal bodyguard hai.. ab aapko chinta karne ki koi jarurat nahin ...

Bela : Personal bodyguard ... matlab kya hai tera...

Preeti (cut her tongue) : voh mera matlab mein hun na... voh mujhe lady bheem kehti hai na kabhi kabhi.. isiliye (in mind : bach gayi varna bahut padti... agar Naina ko pata chal jata toh... aur Sameer toh mujhe maar hi daalta...)

Bela : hmmm... par koi galti nahin honi chahiye... samjhi.. chal ab ja kar so ja... (in her mind : ab isse kaise batau , jabse Naina ki kundali ke baare mein pata chala hai aur uska vo accident, ek darr sa baith gaya hai mere man mein... mera bas chale to ek pal ke liye bhi usse aankhon se dur nahin jaane dun)

Anand listened all their conversation, he holds Bela from her shoulder and make her sit on bed, "Bela, dekho agar tum aise karogi toh bachhon ko shak ho jayega aur voh aur ghabra jayenge... humein Naina ko kamjor nahin banana balki himmat deni hai ki voh har haal mein jeete...

Bela keeping her head on his chest and cried, "aap kuchh bhi kahiye par mera dil hi jaanta hai jab men usse aise udaas dekhti hunt oh kya beetati hai, kaash yeh sab na hua hota, kaash hum usse akela chhod kar nahin gaye hote... yeh bojh mere dil se utarata hi nahin"... Anand console her trying hard to control his own tears....
