..........................................................................................................................................

It had been almost three weeks since Aayush's accident.

As he had requested Sameera to take care of his work in the club, she was seen to be very busy with the club work.

"I wonder how he could manage this club , along with his basketball practice!", Sameera said exhausted ,to her group.

"He is an all rounder and a very energetic person.", Shabir replied.

"Yeah..you are right!"

"But..these final years in the club are loading me with lots of work and its breaking my head.I have just arranged trekking, the monthly meeting and what not! Prof.Siddharth is  in charge for this club, he somehow manages to reduce my work load.A very good man he is."

"Only for a few more days, Aayush will be back right?", Vaibhav asked her.

"He will...but I 'll stay in the club for his sake.", she winked at them.

"Oh..the love bird has started.", groaned Shabir.

"Mister...you will do this when you are in love too!"

"Yeah..we 'll see", he laughed sarcastically.

"Why aren't you in love?",Radha asked him, raising her brow.

"Tell me..who is good looking in this college? All the good ones are either our seniors or in a relationship !"

"So..you think love is based on looks ?", she asked him, disgusted.

"No..I meant..."

"Shame on you Shabir ! You will never get married ! I curse you to spend your entire life as a bachelor!"

Everyone laughed.

"I am serious about this !", Radha said irritated.

"Well..Radha..after 20 years, if both of us are still single, I will consider marrying you !", Shabir teased her.

"Why would I be single , 20 years from now?"

"The list is long, sorry", Shabir laughed, with tears in his eyes.

"Even if I were single, I would never marry YOU!"

"I am better than Prathik!", he smirked.

"You are jealous because I love Prathik very much.", she grimaced.

"Why should I be jealous, Idiot?"

"You are ! Anyway, Prathik and I would make a perfect couple.", she said.

"Then, why haven't you confessed your feelings for him?"

"I will...it'll take some time."

"Scared that he will faint when you propose your love to him?", Shabir asked.

"Shut up ! It's not that. I want to know if he has feelings for me too."

"Come on Radha ! This is nonsense! Tell him ! There is nothing wrong if a girl proposes to a guy first!", Sameera persuaded her.

"Look who is telling that!"Then, why haven't you proposed to Aayush?"

"I don't know much about him! Besides, he is in the hospital"

"We'll come to Sameera's love later. Now, Radha, it's high time you tell Prathik."

"But..."

"No buts ! You will, within this week."

Radha bit her lip,"But, will he feel the same towards me?"

"Why wouldn't he ?"

"I don't know..I have this bad feeling.."

"Enough with your stupid intuitions!", Shabir said angrily.

"He's our Prathik! He would never hurt you."

"I guess you are right!"

"There you go, sweety!", Vaibhav ruffled her hair, making it a mess.

Radha hated if anyone touched her hair, so it became Vaibhav and Shabir's favorite hobby.

"DO NOT TOUCH MY HAIR FREAK!", Radha shouted at him and went away to adjust her hair.

"So, Sameera, what about you? Do you really like that Aayush guy?", Shabir turned to her.

"Of course I do. I send him flowers every week!", she blushed.

"How romantic !", Vaibhav said in a girly voice.

"It is !"

Meanwhile, Karthik entered the classroom, with a dull face.

"Hey!! Where have you been all these days?"

"Had work"

Why are you sad?"

"Sameera I have to tell you something."

"What is it Karthik?", Sameera rose to her feet.

"It's about Aayush!"

"What happened?Is he fine?He is still in the hospital, right?"

"Nothing wrong with his health.Cool down"

"Then what is it?"

"He ..uh...had a breakup!"

Sameera couldn't believe what she heard.

"The girl had left him, I don't know the reason though, so Aayush had just wandered away to the middle of the road, upset, when the vehicle hit him."

Sameera couldn't talk for sometime.She sat on the bench , with her face buried in her hands.

"Come on dear, we should be happy that he has escaped from that girl.He is fine now.".Shabir said.

"How could someone leave Aayush?"

"Maybe she was the wrong girl for him.On the brighter side, you could become his next girl."

"Who is she,Karthik?"

"Riya, second year.I am not sure about the department.Why?"

"I need to talk to her."

"Are you crazy?Why?"

"I need to talk to her. Where can I find her?"

"She comes to college by car. So, we could meet her at the parking lot"

"Good."

"Sameera, this is Aayush's personal stuff.You shouldn't interfere.", Vaibhav warned her.

"I don't care about what is going to happen"

"Sameera, I don't want you to get into more trouble.I don't think Aayush will be there to save you this time."

Later that day,

"Can you see the girl in the blue dress over there?"

"Yes.Is that her?"

All four  were hiding near the bushes, waiting for Riya to come to the parking lot. Sameera had somehow convinced Karthik to help her meet Riya.

"Yeah.Please be careful when you talk to her.She wouldn't even think before hurting you.Her father is a major business tycoon and if she complains to him about you , then you are dead meat.Moreover,she has a big group of goons under her control and we can only imagine what they could do to you.",Karthik said and turned to Sameera, only to find out that she had already gone.

He realized that he had been talking alone for sometime.

Vaibhav and Shabir laughed at him.

They saw her walking towards Riya.

"Do you think there will be a problem?", Karthik asked them.

"We will wait and see.I hope to witness a cat fight.It would be amusing.", Shabir replied.

"Shut up Shabir. Be serious and keep quiet."

Sameera went to Riya and said,"Are you Miss Riya?"

"Yes.What do you want?"

"I heard that you and Aayush are no longer in a relationship."

"Yes.So?"

"Look Riya, Aayush is a wonderful person, why would you leave him?"

"This is none of your concern.Get lost"

"Please Riya. Listen to me."

"Who the hell are you?"

"I ..I am his friend.Please tell me why you left him?"

"Ugh...he has become poor okay?His father is incapable of doing business and they are not going to be wealthy anymore"

"What?You left him just because his father's business is at a loss.Are you insane?",Sameera couldn't control her anger.

"Mind your words girl.Go tell him that he can't have me."

"Aayush doesn't know I am speaking to you now.Please Riya, don't leave him.He is the most wonderful and the most caring person I have ever seen.I am sure he will keep you happy."

It killed her to say this to Riya, but she had no other choice.

"I decide whom I am with and who are you to advice me? Go away.",Riya went towards her car.

"Riya, I beg you. you will not get a better person than Aayush. He is devastated without you."

"I see what's happening here.He had been cheating on me , with you and he had pretended to be in love with me,because of  my wealth.Both of you had planned this and now after I have dumped him, he has sent you to me, to create sympathy."

Sameera was shocked beyond words.She was terribly hurt by her words and hot tears flowed from her eyes.

"Very cleverly planned", Riya smirked.

"It's not true",Sameera tried to speak, her tears choking her.

"Thank god I dumped him.That hypocrite!"

"Riya, I only met him few weeks ago.He is not a cheater.", Sameera pleaded, blocking her way to the car.

"Move away from my car!"

"If only you could listen to me...."

Phat !

Riya slapped Sameera right across the face.

"Get lost B**** !"

The guys came running to Sameera.

She was transfixed to the place, her hand on her cheek.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER?",Shabir bellowed at her.

"You are so dead !", Karthik menaced towards her.

Riya became frightened and quickly went inside her car and locked the door.

Vaibhav went to Sameera, his hand around her shoulder and he helped her to sit on one of the benches nearby.

Riya had sped off.

"That's why we didn't want you to speak to her !",Shabir shouted.

"When have you listened to us?"

"I ...thought I could solve...."

"Easy Shabir. It's Riya's fault, not hers."

"Who is she to slap her?",Karthik muttered.

They were extremely angry at Riya and they wanted to take revenge on her.

"Please promise me you won't hurt her.She is a just a rich,spoilt girl and Aayush will feel sad if anything happens to her."

"You only think about him and not about yourself.Come to your senses.Just because you love him doesn't mean you have to get beatings from some *censored* ", Shabir screamed.

"Shabir. Don't talk such words in front of her",Vaibhav said sternly.

"Do you expect me to congratulate her for slapping Sameera, huh?"

"Anger is not going to solve anything",Vaibhav said calmly.

While they were talking, Karthik had been  trying to call Aayush.

Aayush picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Do you know what your ex-girl friend has done to Sameera?", he shouted on the phone.

Sameera was horrified when she heard Karthik say those words.

The last thing she wanted was Aayush to know about the incident.

She tried to rush towards Karthik, but Shabir blocked her way and didn't allow her go near Karthik.

"What are you talking about Karthik?"

"Riya slapped Sameera "

"How?Why?", Aayush was shocked and confused.

"Because Sameera tried to help you out! Look what she has got in return"

"Karthik....stop..don't....",Sameera shouted.

"I don't care what you are going to do....you have to make her apologise to Sameera", Karthik said and hung up the call.

"You shouldn't have done that. Aayush is going to be mad at me!"
