"Life Is Like A Book. Some chapters are sad, some are happy and some are exciting, but if you never turn the page, you will never know what the next chapter has in store for you."

Folk says, life is not a bed of rose, but why it can't be? Roses comes with thorns too. Its fragrance and thorns makes it special. Life is so similar to that, our achievement, success, love, friendship, family makes our life beautiful, just like the fragrance of rose. Whereas, failure, heartbreak, downfall is like the thorns which gives us pain, but makes us strong too.

Naina, was never afraid of hurdles, rather winning it gives her pleasure. She can go to any extent to achieve her goal, if it means to make impossible, possible, she is ready for it .Thus without paying attention to her feeble steps, she ran towards Dean's quarter and sneaked in.

She, without wasting any moment, started searching for any single clue, which can lead her to Abhay. But the surroundings of that room made her feel dizzy. She hold her forhead with one hand and the table with another, to stop her from falling. As soon as she closed her eyes, again those flashes of a photo frame, some hazy smiling faces came in front of her eyes.

She opened her eyes to clear her head, but it seemed to haunt her. She could not focus on her search, her eyes becames hazy, hands were shivering, her legs were loosing its strength, slowly.

But suddenly she got fixed in her spot as she heard the voice, whom, she thought, was not present in that house. He was none other than Abhinav Singhal, owner of that house.

"Ahem ahem! Aapki jasusi khatam hui ya phir hum kuch madad kar de aapki? Waise yeh detective centre khola kab aapne? Humein bhi admission milega?"

Naina stumbled and hit her knee hearing his voice and without uttering anything ran towards the window and jumped from there, while Dean guffawed seeing her reaction and said

"Hahahahaha! Yeh ladki kabhi nahi sudhregi. Bas waqt ke saath thodi jyada jhalli hogayi hain. Bach gaya tu Abhi, warna aaj phir marta pakka se."

Naina while jumped from the window in haste, saved herself from getting hit again, that too by a bike. She fall on the path and the one who was driving the bike also fall from the bike, loosing his balance and he shouted without looking at her

"Andhi ho? Dikhai nahi deta hain kya tumhe? Ki saamne se bike aa rahi hain. Khamaka chot lag gayi mujhe, aur agar galti se bhi bike tumhe lag jati toh, logo ko ikattha karke meri hi dhulai karwati. Ho kaun tum?"

Naina, hearing the voice and accusation, looked back at him and saw he is none other than Rajveer, who was dusting his jeans, without even wasting a glance on her

"Tum? Aur kiske hone ki ummeed kar sakti thi main. Is puri duniya me tumhare siwa aur hain hi kaun jo mere piche hath nahi, pura naha dhoke pada hain.Jab dekho,jahan main jaaun koi aur ho na ho tum pakka wahan milte ho.

Aur kya kahan tumne andhi right? Haan hun main andhi, tum apni yeh button jaisi ankhein use kyun nahi kar lete? Yeh college ka back side area hain, aur tum koi VIP nahi ho, jo Pedestrian zone me bike ghuma rahe ho. Ruko tumhari to main abhi jaake dean se complaint karungi."

Rajveer's eyes became soccer hearing her voice and immediately thought in his mind

"Lag gayi beta Raj teri. Tu bhi alag level ka banda hain.Nishu ke plan ke according ,Kahan ise patana tha,aur patake ise distract karna tha,par yahan to ulta jhagada hogaya is se, aise to ho li yeh teacher ki chamchi distract.

Kahan phas gaya hun main yaar.Ab in aag ke angaron mein jalke kahi tu hi swaha na ho jaaye Raj beta."

He cleared his throat and said

"Aah! Kitna chillati ho yaar tum, mere kaano me se khun hi nikal ayega pakka se kisi din? Aur tum mujhe kya dhamki de rahi ho Dean ki, main jaake bolun dean ko ki tum unke room mein jasusi kar rahi thi,khidki se aana khidki se jaana,chorni kahi ki?

Ab chup chap mera haath pakdo aur utho. Rajveer Singh Shekhawat aise hi kisiko apna haath nahi deta. Ab uth bhi jao ya yahin pe din guzaarna hain?"

She replied him immediately with gritted teeth

"Are sir dhanya hogayi main to, aapka hath meri taraf badhta hua dekh ke,charan kaha hain aapke? Laaiye jara khich ke inhe, aapko niche gira du main.Bade aye,haath dene wale aur dean ka naam leke dara rahe ho mujhe?Main nahi darti kisi se, jao jise jo bolna hain jaake bol do.

Aur rahi baat chillane ki agar itni hi takleef hain mere bolne se ,chillane se, toh tum yaha khade kyun ho?Maine to tumhe invitation nahi diya tha ki Rajveer ji yahan aaiye mujhse takraiye aur phir mera chillana suniye.

And thanks but no thanks tumhari is so called help ke liye.Main khud manage kar sakti hun.Mujhe tumhara haath to definitely nahi chahiye."

Rajveer, pulled his hair in frustration, hearing her words and said

"Dekho, isse pehle ki Neeksha aur Pooja tumhe dhundte huye yahan aajaye, utho aur chalo. Warna phir unko samjhati rehna,ki tum dean ke quarter ke bahar apna pair pakde huye kar kya rahi ho."

Naina immediately remembered, they must have returned, and if they found that she is not in her room, Neeksha will kill her, thus she said

"Fine,haath pakad rahi hun tumhara toh yeh mat samajh lena ki naina tumse darr gayi ya haar gayi hain.Tumhe to main baad mein dekh lungi.Akdu, The khadus Shekhawat."

Rajveer smirked at her reply and pulled her up, but Naina's leg got twisted, with that sudden jump, thus she cried out in pain when Rajveer said

"Lag gayi na chot pair mein ab? Har baat pe wonder woman banna hota hain tumhe. Kyun karti rehti ho tum yeh sab?Khud ki jaan ki koi keemat tumhe hain bhi ya nahi? Chalo,hold me acche se."

Naina without uttering a word moved forward by his support while thinking

"Ise achanak se kya hogaya hain?Khunkhar sher se yeh cute sa bunny kab se ban gaya?Jo ladka mujhe dekhte hi apne muh se siway jehar aur bakwas ke kuch nahi nikalta tha, woh aaj mujhse normal insaano ki tarah baat kar raha hain?

Kya yeh wahi rajveer hain,jiske raaste mein bhi agar main aajati thi,toh woh apna rasta badal leta tha? Kya tum wahi ho Rajveer?

Jiski ankhon mein maine apne liye siway chid,gussa,frustation aur nafrat ke siwa kabhi kuch nahi dekha tha.
Aaj wahi ankhein itni badli badli si kyun lagi? Unme itna apnapan sa kyun laga mujhe?Aaj maine ise itna kuch sunaya,kitna kuch keh gayi main, par isne palat ke jawab dene ke bajay, mujhse ladne ki jagah, yeh meri help kar raha hain.

Agar purana wala Rajveer hota, toh ab tak to main dean ke room mein unke samne rusticate ho rahi hoti college se.

Aur uske baad me main apna dusra pair bhi neekshu se tudwa chuki hoti. kyunki jis Rajveer ko maine jana aur dekha tha woh ek mauka nahi chodta tha to trouble me, to make me feel worst, to insult me. Agar woh hota toh make sure karta ki neekshu meri jaan hi le le gusse mein.

Par aaj mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hain, jaise i saw a glipmse of Abhay in him. Ek pal ke liye mujhe sach me aisa laga, jaise ki mere saamne Rajveer nahi, shayad tum the Abhay.

Nahi nahi Naina kya bak rahi hain tu,Rajveer,Abhay kaise ho skata hain? Its impossible,Naina calm down, apne dimag ke ghodo ko aaram de, kuch bhi sochne samjhane lage hain.

Ise pehle ki is bande ka tedhapan aur iske yeh badle badle se tevar mujhe migrane de de.Apni soch ko kabu kar.

Aur iske baare me na soch kar, yeh soch ki tu apna challenge kaise pura karegi? Dean ke room se to kuch nahi mila, yaar ab aage kya?

Aur 3-4 din ki is mumbai trip se aane ke baad bhi, koi guarantee nahi hain ki ,Abhay se juda koi clue milega bhi ya nahi.

Yeh dean ko bhi abhi bhejna tha humein competition mein ,next month bhej dete.Jo bhi ho,jo marzi karna pade, tumhe toh main sabke saamne laakar hi rahungi Abhay ,chahe iske liye mujhe koi bhi hadh kyun na paar karni pade."

After Rajveer dropped her at the entrance, Harshad almost jumped on Rajveer while singing

"Phir tote se boli maina
Kya kehna?
Kuch main bolun,
kuch tum kehna
Kya kehna?"

"To phir kya hua mere yaar bol diya Naina ne? I love you Rajveer,mere pyaar,mere dil e bekaraar, tumhare bina hun mai bilkul hi bekaar."

He gave a teasing look to Rajveer and asked, while Rajveer who was smiling seeing Harshad's excitement said

"Yeh Phoolan devi urf daku Jagga singh, I love you nahi bolti hain,seedha jhansi ki rani banke kaatne,nochane aur maarne aati hain. Ab chal der ho raha hain hume. Aur tu akela kyun aaya hain,Alekh aur Sam kahan hain?"

Harshad sighed heavily, at this failed attempt and said

"Kya yaar Raj,teri wajah se ek scene bekar mein pocket se nikal gaya. Khair Aloo apni ghunghat me chipi hui chudail I mean Sam ko leke nikal chuka hain. Ab bas hum do hi bache hain, chal chalte hain Nanu intezaar kar rahe honge hum sabka."

Ashiyana,Greater Noida

Rajveer, Alekh, Harshad and Sameera reached Ashiyana and jumped on Nanu to hug him tightly, while Samarth looked totally clueless that why the hell his brother didn't bother to greet him.

After hugging and touching feet of Nanu, they moved towards Yug and hugged him tightly but they again ignored Samarth. When it became enough for him to digest, he asked them

"Yeh accha hain. Mujhe chod ke sab dikh gaye tum sabko. Koi baat nahi aloo parathe jo banaye the tum sab ke liye wo sab main akela hi kha leta hoon."

He moved towards the hotpot and took an aloo paratha, when Rajveer almost jumped on him saying

"Mere aloo ke parathe kha liye sab ke sab, pet kharab ho jaayega aapka.Kaise jalkukde ho naa aap?

Bhagwan ke ghar mein der hain andher nahi, iske liye unke court me ek special saza hain , pakode banawa ke talwaunga aapke toh main. Buddhe hone aa rahe ho par nazar mere aloo parathe se hat ti nahi hain aapki. Dekhiye na nanu mere parathe kha liye saare."

He started crying like a kid, when Nanu said

"Samarth, kyun chida rahe ho bhai mere laadle ko? Aaja mere sher main aur yug milke tujhe aloo ke paratha khilate hain."

They moved towards the kitchen when Sameera, Alekh and Harshad joined them. Yug started preparing hot pakodas and coffee for them when his phone started ringing. Yug shouted from the kitchen.

"Samu, phone utha mera kab se baje jaa raha hain, nikkame adami. Kya yeh kaam bhi tu ab nanu se karwayega badtameez, nithalle ladke,ek number ka kamchor hain tu. Phone utha raha hain ya, yahin se hi yeh garam karchi tujhe phenk ke maarun?"

Samarth received the call when Nanu said him to put it in speaker so that Yug can hear the person and got engaged in feeding Sameera, Alekh, Harshad and Rajveer their favt. aloo paratha.

Samarth seeing no option left, received the call and put it into speaker, but the voice left him baffled. He felt a sense of connection with the voice, as if he heard it before also.

He was so lost in the voice, he didn't even paid any attention whether the caller was saying her name or not. After saying Hello for umpteenth time and getting no response, the caller got irritated with it, when Rajveer came and said

"Haan Nishu bol kya hua hain?"

Neeksha replied in an irritated tone

"Jab call tune hi uthaya tha to baat kyun nahi kar raha tha? Accha hua tu mil gaya. Yug bhaiya ko Naina ki health report de dena,bas yahi batane call kiya tha maine."

Rajveer replied back immediately

"Oh hello Ms. Rajdhani express! Woh main nahi tha wo to....."

But he could not complete his line as Samarth uttered

"Nishtha....."

Neeksha who was on the other side heard the name and whispered

"Sid?"

But Rajveer and Yug could not utter a word as the whole scenario left them aghast.

Old Delhi Railway Station, Delhi

Finally the time arrived when Naina and Pooja with Rajveer and Harshad need to leave for their destination. Everyone gathered at the station, to see them off but Pooja and Naina were busy in arguing.

Naina said with finality

"Kya bakwas hain yeh sab? Main nahi jaa rahi hun kahi bhi Pooja ke bina, samjhe tum sab log? Jaake bol do us dean ko. Jayenge to main aur pooja ek saath jaayenge warna is chachunder, akdu, sadu, gusse se bhare sand Rajveer ke saath main kahi nahi jane wali, woh bhi akele,no way.

Yeh acchi jabardasti hain,main iske saath jaaun mumbai aur pooja Harshad ke saath shimla, kyun?Aur tu kyun nahi jaa rahi hain humare saath nikshu."

Pooja immediately retorted

"Haan main jindagi mein pehli baar sehmat hu naina ki baat se. Dean ka sir ghum gaya hain kya, jo pure collage me yahin do mile competition mein humare saath bhejane ke liye, ek samose ki dukan aur ek guitar ki dukan.

Main moti hokar wapis aaungi aur naina lata mangeshkar part 2 banke. Main bhi nahi jaungi,bhejna hi tha to tu aur sameera kyun nahi jaa rahe ho hum logo ke saath?

Niks main bata rahi hun tujhko kahin nahi jaa rahe hain hum dono tum dono ke bina bas baat khatam."

Neeksha closed her ears to save herself from getting deaf and finally said

"Behra karna hain kya mujhe? Tickets me saaf saaf likha hain,ki kaun kahan jaa raha hain, mahino bhar ka samaan packing karne me busy rahoge toh dekhoge kab?

Hosh rehta kaha hain tum dono ko?Ek ko books se fursat nahi,dusri ko kapde bharne se. Abhi train ka waqt ho raha hain niklo dono ke dono. Sukun se so toh sakungi 3 raato tak."

Sameera immediately jumped into the conversation and said

"Waise Naina tere do bags kaise huye?"

Neeksha with a smile said

"Humari Pooja ji ka kamal hain yeh Sameera, khud ka bhi bhar liya iska bhi kar diya."

When the train buzzed their horns, reluctantly Naina and Pooja boarded their trains after hugging Neeksha and Sameera. Neeksha though feeling sad yet put a smile on her face and gave them orders to take care of themselves and after bidding them bye's. Neeksha, Alekh and Sameera left for the campus, while Rajveer and Naina and Pooja and Harshad boarded their trains, unknown to the storm awaiting for their best friends in college.

When Neeksha entered the college and Alekh and Sameera moved towards the mess to have their dinner, she moved towards her room as she was not hungry, but something was amiss.

Pessimism was filled in the air. But she avoided it and moved towards her room, when she felt someone in front of Dean's cabin. She tried to see the face but immediately left the idea and moved forward.

Suddenly thunders striked as jf warning her to be alert but she ran towards her room when Ragini and Virat came out from the back of the pillar and smiled. Virat rubbed his lips with his thumb and said

"Shikaar saamne ho aur use halaal naa kar sako,to uska bhi maza kuch alag hi hota hain. Kitne din tak bhagogi Nishtha Sisodia, ab toh tumhare bodyguard Abhay aur Tara bhi nahi hain college mein,to save you from my claws.Maza aayega to hunt you."

But Ragini was busy in some other thoughts, after Virat moved away she said

"ch ch ch,Nishtha kitani badkismat ho na tum,pehle sab hokar bhi koi nahi tha tumare paas na hi tumhare saath.Ab to tum ekdum akeli hogayi ho bilkul us darpok geedad ki tarah jo jab akela ho to darr ke shehar ki taraf bhagta hain.Ab dekhna yeh hain ki tum mujhse bach ke bhag ke jaaogi kahan?

Ragini wo toofan hain,wo kala saaya hain, jise tum jitna door jaaogi use, utna hi apne kareeb paaogi.

Get ready to be my pray Miss. Nishta opps Miss.Neeksha Roy.Pagal hone ke liye taiyaar ho jaao ab ladayi aamne samne ki hain,na beech mein wo shree hain na hi uske baki ke  chamche.Haar ke mere pairo ki dhul chat te huye mujhse apni jindagi ki bheek mangane ke liye swagat hain tumhara, Nishthaaa.hahahahahaha."
