"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

When Rajveer left the room in haste, Naina was still in the effect of the kiss. On one side she is chiding herself for allowing Rajveer for such a thing, on the other side her heart is doing somersault, her first kiss that too with Rajveer.

She should feel offended, she should have pushed him away. But she did not. She, herself dont know the reason behind this. She, to divert her mind took her phone, but wait, her phone doesnt have screen lock. Anyone can use her phone.

She checked the phone and the back cover said its Rajveer's. She smiled at the co-incidence, both of them carry the same model.

She took the phone, straightened her dress, and went to find Rajveer. She found every place, but he was nowhere, when finally she found him sitting on a bench and talking to someone. She thought

"Yeh Rajveer kis se baat kar raha hain?"

She walked towards him, when she overheard his conversation which shook her to the core.

"Haan Nishu, sab kuch under control hain, jaisa humne socha tha. Everything is going according to our plan. Usne Abhay ka naam....."

He turned while talking with Neeksha, and he couldnot speak further when Naina asked

"Rajveer , tum kis se baat kar rahe the abhi, Neekshu se baat kar rahe the naa? Aur Abhay , tum kaise jante ho uske baare mein?Aur kya under control mein hain tumhare? Kis Plan ke baare mein tum assure kar rahe the use,Kau..kaunsa plan?"

But he did not utter a word. How can he? Half truth is worst than a lie. How will he make her understand the truth. He closed his eyes, but the moment they spent together came in front of his eyes. He cannot remember the moment now, or else that moment will also be snatched from him.

He just looked at her, when Naina again asked

"Rajveerrr,maine kuch pucha hain tumse.Kaunsa Plan ,Kis plan ke baare mein baat kar rahe the tum, jawab do mujhe."

But he could only utter a single word

"Naina..."

But Naina was not ready for any explanation, she shouted at him

"Jo kuch bhi maine abhi suna, Kya woh sab ek plan tha, every bloody single thing was just a plan?"

Rajveer somehow gathered his strength and said

"Naina...suno, main tumhe sab kuch samjha sakta hun."

But Naina showed him her palm to stop and asked in a cold voice

"Haan ya Naa."

Rajveer tried touching her shoulder so that he could make her understand, but she moved back and again shouted

"Rajveerrrrrrrrrr, Haaaan yaaa Naaaaa."

Her voice told him, the battle is lost. Every moment which was special for them, is just a plan for her. Every word he said to her is a lie now. He again lost the battle.

He could not understand what to say, so he just looked downwards, because it was clear to him whatever he did at the beginning was wrong. His thoughts were wrong.

Instead of doing all those things if he could directly forwarded his hand for friendship, maybe today the scene would have been different. His silence gave Naina her answer.

She hold his hand kept his phone on his hand, took few steps back while wiping her tears and ran away from there, leaving behind a distressed Rajveer and shocked Neeksha.

Shimla, India

Its their last day in Shimla, and last task to win the prize too. Only three couples were competing each other and Pooja and Harshad are one of them.

They need to collect waste materials like paper bags, plastic cups and need to make any structure out of it with the help of some clues.

The host announced it clearly. Everyone was excited for this task and as soon as the host blow the whistle every single couple ran to find their first clue.

After searching for three minutes, Harshad got tired and sat on the chair beside the table filled with food plates. He took the plate and screamed out loud

"Pooja idhar aao jaldi ,abhi ke abhi pehla clue mil gaya hain humein."

Pooja came running and read the chit which states

"Khana hum khaye jiski madad se, dhundo use chhupi hai kahin kitchen ke kisi kone me."

Pooja scratched her head and said

"Yeh kahi tumhare muh ki baat to nahi kar rahe hain, par tumhara muh kahan chupa hua hain samne hi to khade ho."

Harshad gave slow clap to her and said

"Waah Pooja waah! Kya joke tha. Par mujhe hasi bilkul nahi aayi. Yeh chammach ki baat kar rahe hain. Chalooo."

They ran towards the mess kitchen to find their stock of spoons. After running and finding for another ten minutes, they finally found the item.

They got their next clue in the stock only. Harshad read it giving the packet to Pooja

"Sardi ka mausam hain, thand hain karari
Yeh ho agar saath jalane k liye aag,
to kyun naa ho jaaye party ki taiyari."

After thinking for few seconds Pooja said

"Tel ya maachis. Par tel se kaam to hoga nahi, toh maachis hi ho sakta hain."

They again ran towards the common fire place and the box of matches was kept at the corner. They placed it inside the packet of spoons, and read the last chit

"Exam hain sir pe, karna hain college paar
Par likhoge kispe agar yahin naa mile yaar?"

"Nahiii, bas yahi nahi karna tha. Acha khasa sab kuch bhul ke maje kar rahi thi, par is 3rd clue ne dukhti rag par haat rakh diya. Chalo Harshad stationery shop pe chalte hain, papers wahi pe milenge, aur ek pen bhi khareed kar de dena tum mujhe."

Harshad looked at her and asked

"Woh pen tumhara koi kajal nahi hain. Padhai likhai karti ho nahi, pen khareed dena. Chalo abhi."

With this they ran towards the stationary shop to take their last product and came back to auditorium to start their work. They became happy when they were the first to come back after collecting all the items.

They without wasting a minute, started making a small village, having a wind wheel, houses, carts, flowers. After they started the other two couple joined them and started their work too.

Everyone including the participants were eager to see the outcome. And the host started checking the timer. When the timer showed 50 mins, the host announced that 10 mins is left.

Pooja looked at him and started giving a final touch to her flowers and houses, while Harshad fixed his flower on the small field they made with the help of match stick dust.

When the host announced only three minutes left, Pooja and Harshad took their village and ran towards the table, where they need to keep their structure for show, and the host announced time's up.

While one of the couple failed miserably as their structure fall on ground, Pooja and Harshad gave a satisfactory smile.

Judges keenly watched the two structures, calculated the time taken, gave marks for the innovation and moved towards the dais to announce the winner.

Unknown to herself, Pooja hold Harshad's hand tightly, and wished they win the prize and the judges announced the name of the winner.

"First prize goes to Pooja and Harshad from Hindu College, Delhi.Second prize goes to Aradhana and Mohit from St.Xaviers "

Pooja jumped at the announcement and hugged Harshad tightly. Harshad's face adorned with a big smile and both of them ran to take their prize.

Rajveer was waiting for Naina at the green room, but Naina was nowhere. He replayed her every word, his brain flashed her face which was devoid of every emotion, eyes which were empty.

He just wished that, she gave him a chance to keep his side. Even if needed, he is ready to tell her the truth. His wish came to a halt when the host announced their name, and he saw Naina standing behind the wings, all ready for the performance.

But as soon as she moved towards the stage, heels of her shoe got twisted and she winced in pain. Rajveer ran towards her, but she showed her palm to stop him. He backed off but got hurt with her behaviour.

But the main question still remains unanswered. The shoe she is wearing is new and bought on the day when they went out, so how come the heel gets twisted unless its broken.

He looked towards Kamraan and Meenal, and saw them smirking. He got his answer, everything is their plan. But how he should aware her, when she is not even allowing him to touch?

Seeing a limping Naina, Meenal could not control her laughter and Rajveer's blood boiled seeing them happy. He moved towards his green room and said a boy, who was serving tea to all to call Kamraan to the back side of the college.

When Kamraan reached the spot, he saw a guy in black hoodie. He moved towards him to ask why an unknown person called him before his performance, but what happened next was unexpected.

The guy turned and beat him in black and blue, broke his nose and few ribs too and left the place before he could gain his consciousness.

He joined Naina before she could even notice he is missing, but when she looked towards him as their name was announced, she can clearly see anger in it. But she ignored thinking its a part of his plan again.

But Rajveer thought looking at her

"Kaash ! Naina Kaash tumse appne dil ki baat kar pata main. Kaash bata pata tumhe ki mera dil dhadakna bhul sakta hain par tumhara naam lena nahi. Kaash bol pata yeh ki chot tumhe lagti hain, par dard mujhe hota hain.Ansu tumhari ankhon se behate hain aur dil mera rota hain inhe dekh ke.

Kaash samjha pata tumhe ki jo bhi tumhe chot pahuchane ki koshish karega uska wahi haal hoga jo aaj kamraan ka hua hain ya phir humare un seniors ka hua tha.

Kaash dikha sakta puri duniya ko ki Naina Singh Ahluwalia ko Rajveer Singh Shekhawat se jyada pyaar is puri duniya me koi aur nahi kar sakta hain. Kaash main bol pata Naina,aur kaash tum sun leti ,meri yeh aankhein padh leti."

Sheena who was forced to attend the show was getting impatient with every passing seconds but as soon as she saw Rajveer and Naina were performing, she straightened herself.

Her heartbeat became fast seeing their faces, but can she show this? No, she cannot. She was happy seeing them together, but is she have the right to show this? The answer is again a big no.

Her eyes became moist remembering everything, but can she repent for the deed she never did but somehow related to it? She got lost in her thoughts while Rajveer and Naina continued with their performance.

Rajveer forced Naina to stand on his feet and do every single step and Naina was shocked seeing the change in their choreography.

Though Naina tried to free herself but when did anyone win from Rajveer when he decides something for his loved ones. There is a big reason behind naming him Rajveer Ziddi Singh Shekhawat.

They continued their performance and after ending it. Naina ran from the stage after pushing Rajveer, forgetting about her pain.
