Harshad and NavNi was sitting there waiting for Shahid who didn't come back till yet.

Shahid come there after sometime. He was visibly tensed and trio notised this and thought to ask him.

Navya : tune abhi tak call main thi kya?

Shahid : huh?

Nanadini : tu ek call attend karne kelie 2 O clock ko gaya tha aur ab aa raha hai.

Shahid : i was just cought up with some problem.

Harshad : Shahid, kya hua. You look so tensed now a days. Batao kya hua.

Shahid : nahi... Aisa kuch nahi.

Navya : really? Par hame toh aisa nahi lag raha hai.

Nandini : Shahid, you know na you can share it. We are your friends. Even though we know each other only for 3 months. Phir bhi i hope we share that much friendship ki ham apne takleef ko share kar sakun. Ham sayad tumhari problem share nahi kar paega but zaroor tumhare tension kam kar paonga.

Harshad : batade bhai nahi toh yeh aaj poora din tumhe bitake class lelega.

He said jokingly for subsiding the tension prevailing in the air. And it make Shahid and Navya smile while Harshad recieved a smack from Nandini on his arm.

Navya : so batao Shahid, kya hua?

Nandini : par haa, uske pehle have this

She said giving him a sandwich which they bought from canteen for him. He looked at it confusedly.

Shahid : yeh kya hai?

Navya : tune pehli baar sandwich dekh raha hai kya? Nahi na. Khao. Hame pata hai you didn't eat nything because of your problem

She said air quoting the word Problem.

Shahid : (smiling) thank you guys

Shahid : you know guys i wanted to study at Royal College of Music.

Navya : woh london wala college.

Shahid : but dad didn't support me. He wanted me to leave music and do something else. And when i told him i wanted to join RCM he behved like the old typical dad's and asked me to choose between music and them. Can you imagine. Kaise main choose kar saktha hai in mein se ek. Both are my life. But my mom supported me and send me here. So thats how i came here. He was silent from past 2 and half months. But now dad is once again is creating problems. He is here now to take me back. But i don't want. I want to create my identity with my own capabilities. But he is not ready to listen at all. I don't know what to do now.

Navya : hmm so your father behave like a hitler in thus matter.

Shahid : kind of.

Nandini : but why?

Shahid : uska maanna hai ki musicians wouldn't have a stable life.

Harshad : thats insane

Shahid : i know right.

Navya : so aage kya karne ka plan hai?

Shahid : for now kuch nahi. Ab mere saamne sirf musicana hai. Agar yeh jeet gaye toh then i hope i could convince him.

Nandini : toh no problem at all. We will try our level best to win musicana.

Shahid : yup.

Navya : so ab batein chodo aur consentrate on music. Come.. Come..We have to beat Fab5 right

She said winking at them while everyone smiled at her crazyness.

Space Coridor @ 4.30 pm

NavNi were going to  library when Nandini saw Dhruv coming from library she excused from Navya and went towards Dhruv.

Dhruv saw Nandini approaching him with a broad smile Dhruv too return it.

Nandini : hi Dhruv.

Dhruv : hi.

Nandini : musicana ke wajah se main apni best friend se baat hi nahi kar payi.

Dhruv smiled in replay.

Nandini : toh batao. All set for musicana.

Dhruv : haa. After all is saal we have new competitors so we have to be ready. Hai na.

Nandini : (she said flipping her hair backward) woh toh hai.

Dhruv smiled at her antics.

Dhruv : (out of a blue) thank you.

Nandini : huh?

Dhruv : tum aur Manik mere liye jo kuch bhi kiya.

Nandini : na.. Na.. Uskelie koi thanks ki zaroorath nahi hai. You are my friend, so it is my duty to make sure you are all healthy. Aur waise bhi Rishab too is facing the same problem. Yahan thanks koi zaroorath nahi hai.

Dhruv : par.

Nandini :Dhruv...

She called him warningly.

Dhruv : ohk ohk...then woh thanks main wapas le liya.

Nandini : hmm... better.

Dhruv : toh ab yahan kya kar rahe ho.

Navya : woh Navya ko keyboard cable chahiye thi. So isiliye.

Dhruv : ohh...

He was going to say something hen he heared Alia's voice calling out for him.
He looked back and saw Alia coming towards him.

Alia come towards there and looked at Nandini. There was a awkward silence for a minute. It was the first time they meet face to face after Alia's confession about sending goon behind Nandini.

Alia : hi Nandini

Alia said cutting the silence which surprised both DhruNi. Nandini looked at Alia as if registering that Alia is surely talking to her.

Nandini : (confused tone) hi Alia.

Alia : are you guys busy.

Nandini : no we were just talking. So bye Dhruv.

Dhruv : bye.

Nandini went and enter to library.

Dhruv : (Alia) that was new.

Alia : what was new.

Dhruv : you greeting Nandini.

Alia : (murmuring) tumhe kaise batao main Manik Nandini se pyaar karthe hai.

Dhruv : tumne kuch kaha?

Alia : haa.. Woh she is your friend so i too should be friends with her.

Dhruv nodded his head smilingly.

Dhruv : tum mujhe bulaya kyun?

Alia : haa woh sab Manik ke ghar jaane ki plan kar raha hai. Uncle se milna hai na.

Dhruv : oh haa. Whre are they?

Alia : they are waiting. So chale?

Dhruv : haa chalo.

They went.

Space Library @ 4.30 pm

Navya entered the library and sked the librararian about keyboard cables. He said where they kept the cables and she went to pick it.

Navya was searching for cable when she felt someone looking at her. But she didn't feel that creepy feeling at all. The gaze was intense as well as comforting.

(aap logon ko pata chala hoga na woh kon hai😉😉)

Navya looked at the direction nd saw Cabir. Yes, It was Cabir who followed her till library.

She looked at him for a while then turn back and continued to look for the cables while stealing glances at Cabir who was still ataring at her without blinking.

Navya dress with her that two choti of hers

He didn't made any effort to talk to her from the time he came there. And this made Navya somewhat annoyed. She thought to ask him directly but considering their past encounteres she decided against it. Meanwhile she got the required cables, she left a sigh and thought to go back.

She hardly take teo step when she felt a tug in her wrist. She was stunned for a moment. Her eyes were wide all ready to come out. It is library for god sake. Whoever can walk in at any moment. She took a glance at her surrounding making sure no one was there. After being satisfied that no one were there she composed herself and turned to him.

On the otherside Cabir was as usual confused about his past behaviour. He, matlab The Cabir Dhawan leave someone, who spoiled his shirt just like that. That too why? Navya Naveli the same girl whose life he made a living hell in the begining of their meet. Kya kya nahi kiya yeh uske saath. Dump her in a garbage bin, hit eggs on her and scared the hell out of her everytime they met. And now he couldn't even stand that hurt expression in her face. A simple nod of her head that was it. He did what she asked him to do. Even though he was hell annoyed of the thought of leaving the boy but the smile she gave him for that is worth. And now when he is standing her staring at her when he clearly know that she is looking at him from the corner of her eys. And knowing that his stares effects her so much has really boost his manly ego. And he really wished it would be only who will have such an effect on her.

Well this thought aside, when he saw her going from there without questioning him surprised him for sure. And with a nick of time he grabbed her wrist. He saw her stiffened for a moment also saw her looking at here and there, thats when he too realised it is library. Fortunately for them college has already been over so there no students ober there, atleast no one is there where they are. When she looked at her he saw her turning her head hung low. What is her expression he couldn't understand. Is she uncomfortable or is she shying away.

He took one step closer to her and make her face him touching her chin. And he was relieved that there wasn't any trace of uncomfortableness in her face.

Cabir : why are you looking down Navya?

Navya : (she said nervously) kuch nahi.

Cabir : tum aisa kyun ho?

Navya : huh?

Cabir : waise toh tum hamesha baatein karte rehti ho, without any break. Par when i am with you, wanted to talk to you, you always become silent. Why?

Navya : because you are behaving wiered nowadays.

She said without realising. It take a 1 minute to Cabir understanding what she said. Ofcourse, when he has change all of a sudden then how will she cope up with it, when he is confused about his own actions.

Cabir smiled at her hearing her innocent replay.

Cabir : so i am behaving wieredly.

Navya : haa.

Cabir : (seriously) Navya i know it is confusing you. I have already told you about my situation. It is confusing me too. Trust me. But as i told you before i don't want to ignore it anymore. But i also don't want us to come into conclusion all of a sudden. Are you understanding what i am saying?

Navya nodded her head in yes. His every words were lased with sincerity.

Cabir : So Lets Start From The Start, Lets Be Friends.

Navya : friends?

She asked confusedly. She wasn't sure of this. After knowing what he feels for her, and even though they doesn't confessed she knew what their meaning. So is it easy being friends?

Cabir : yes. Navya we are two entirely different person. And we know each other only for last 3 months. So we should know each other. So being friends with each other is the best option.

Navya : (understanding) i undeestand, we don't know each other. Infact you don't know nothing about me. Sayad mere baare main pata chalne ke baad sayad tumhe main acha nahi laga toh, tumhe regret karne ki zaroorath nahi ladegi.

She said looking down her eyes glitter with tears. She is really worried after seeing the sincerity in his voice. He suddenly felt she is betraying him.

Firstly when she met him here at Space she was nervous and slightly excited at the same time. Why wouldn't she. He was the one who stole her first kiss. But when he make her suffer every time she thought never to disclose it to him. She never thought it will make any different in him when she saw him with that chipku Rose. How many times she killed that chipkali in her dreams, only she know it. But from past few days he is giving her hope. The glimpse of love she is seeing in his eyes from past few days is something which she dreamed to see in her soulmate. But the same is killing her right now. He is so honest with her. He just said hatever he feels about her looking at her eyes. Why? Because he thought it is her right to know. And here she is not even able to show her true self to him. At the same time she is happy too, because he fall for her heart not for her looks, status or money. Otherwise just think. Why will Cabir Dhawan feel for middle class girl from Patna, she pretending to be. So inshort she is in a pool of emotion. Hurt, confusion, love, guilt and above all fear. Fear of losing the person she started to love.

Here on the other side seeing her teary eyes Cabir panicked. He doesn't know how to react, so he did what he thought to be right. He hugged her comforting her. She too let her tears rolled down silently burying her face in his chest.

Cabir : (still in the hug)hey shhh... Don't cry... i didn't mean that. Trust me. It is not like some trial relationship. I wanted to start from being friends because, i really feel for you. I don't want you to feel any kingld of uncomfortableness. I want to understand you. So that when we will officially get into the relationship, our bond would be strong enough to face all the storms coming in our way. And i want to say so many things to you. Which includes my family, my past every thing that is concerned with me. Thats it. You understand me right.

Navya nodded her head still in the hug with a small smile playing in her lips.

Cabir : thank god. I thought you are not going stop crying.You know consoling a girl is not my cup of tea.

She chucklied at it and looked at him still being in the hug.

Navya : Cabir.

Cabir : wowww... Did you just call me lCabir" without i pestering you. Thats new.

Navya : hear me out na.

Cabir : ohk batao.

Navya : woh i too feel the same.

Cabir : matlab? ( he is being a tube light right now *sigh*)

Navya : whatever you said that day. I too feel the same .

Cabir : (happily) really?

Navya : haa. But i don't know what future hold for us. But i want only one thing, if anything happens between us because of me, just talk to me, let me explain myself. Please.

Cabir : ofcourse, I will. And  i am not gonna just leave you that too when i kniw you too feel the sane for me. Never.

He said and kissed her forehead cupping her face with his right hand while her leaft hand still wrapped around her waist.Navya closed her eyes feeling blessed as well as relieved. They hugged once again feeling each other warmth, without realising the surrounding.

They broke the hug hearing someone coughing. They turned behind to see Nandini who come in search of Navya after having a conversation with Dhruv, looking at them with a mischevious smile.

Nandini : you know guys its library. A public place. Anyone can walk in at any time. And you know it is second time i am walking in when you guys are busy in romancing. Meri virgin eyes ko kya kya dekhna padega?

Cabir : second time matlab?

Nandini : last time when you come to oir jam room.

Cabir : so you know.

Nandini : (to Cabir) obviously i know uski bestfriend hun main. Its my right. (turning to Navya) Hai na Navya.

Thays when she saw the light tears of Navya. And it alerted her mind. That mischevious smile of hers were replaced by frown and she was beside Navya within a second startling Cabir.

Nandini : (cupping her face) Kya hua Navya? Why are you crying. Isne kuch kiya kya.

She asked to Navya and without giving her time to asnswer she turned to Cabir and glared at her angrily.

Nandini : (glaring) tumne aisa kya kiya ki woh ro raha hai. Main bata raha hoon Cabir if you try to hurt her like old tumes then i am not gonna spare you

Cabir : hey... Hey.. Ruk jaa mere sherni. I didn't do anything. Without accusing me use jawab dene ka chance toh dete.

Nandini : agar tumne kuch nahi kiya toh Navya roya kyun?

Navya : woh Nandu, woh main hi batein baton main emotional ho gayo thi. And he was consoling me. It wasn't his fault.

Nandini : you are saying truth right.

Navya : ofcours. Matarani ki kasam.

Nandini : ohk then no problem. So main kahan tha (she thought for a moment) haa you guys should be aware of the place where you are while romancing.

She said as if it was someone else who were glaring at Cabir all ready to kill him.

Cabir : (surprised) ek minute you were glaring at me a moment back nd you are back to your jolly mood all of a sudden.

Nandini : i was angry at you because i thought you hurted her. And when she said it wasn't your fault, so what is the need to be angry anymore.

She said as a matter of fact while Cabir smiled at her.

Cabir : Navya is very lucky to have a friend like you.

Nandini : woh toh she is. I am one in a million you know.

She said raising her imaginary collar earning smiles fron CaVya.

Cabir : (hesitantly)hmm.. Nandini i know you are Navya's best friend. So i wanted to know ki are you okey with us being together?

Nandini : (giving a smile) Cabir its her life. And its her right to choose. If she chose you iska matlab hai ki you are perfect for her. And yahi baat mere opinion ki hai toh, let me tell you i am really happy that she choose you. Because jahan tak mujhe pata hai. You are an amazing friend. And i am sure you can be a amazing lover too.
(she said looking at him while he looked here and there embarressed)

Navya : Nandu... Ham abhi friends hai

Nandini : what?

Navya : haa. We want to take it slow. So...

She warned Nandinj with her eyes to stop embaress him. Nandini too oblidhed as she thought they needs time to make it official. She understand their pov well.

Nandini : haa so Cabir, jab tak you keep her happy i am more than ohk with it. But if you make a tear fall down from her eyes then i can't guarantee you what will happened after that. You remember na that punch i gave to Manik that day. I won't mind to launch it on your handsome face.

Even though she said it with a smiling face but he could clearly understand the threat behind it. Cabir visibly gulped.Navya saw this and she hold back a chuckle.

Cabir : no i won't make her cry. Promise.

He was afraid about Nandini's open threat, but he utter these words with atmost sincerity.

Navya looked at Cabir with all the love she has for him while he too resiprocated it.

Nandini smiled at that so much in love couple..

*cough* sorry that was a slip of toung.

Nandini smiled at the new born friemds.

Nandini : so, agar aap logon ka baatein ho gayi toh ham chale?

Navya nodded her head and looked at Cabir as if telling him she is going. Understanding it He too nodded her head. Seeing this Nandini smiled. Indeed her best friend got the best guy.
