"The storm is what they threw at me, the hurricane is what I became."

When a storm hits you, leaves you devastated. People tends to change their path or stop fighting for the right. But some people are there who comes back like a tornado, who have the power to destroy. Depends on how you treat them.

Its been seven days from that horrific night. Night which changed everything. The atmosphere of the college, the equation between the people witnessed the night, the behaviour of them. Every little thing.

Neeksha became silent, she replies when someone asks her, she responds when someone says her to do, but other times silence became her companion.

Naina and Pooja never left her alone after that night. They always try their best to make her smile and maybe that was the only time when she smiles.

Rajveer, Alekh, Harshad and Sameera they became each others shadow. Neither they leave Naina, Pooja and Neeksha alone nor they leave each other. Everyone is alarmed, yet calm and maybe mother nature is also with them, that's why its raining heavily since that night.

Yug and Samarth also never left them, after all work they spend their night with them, laughing and enjoying their time. Maybe trying to find solace from each other.

Abhinav and Noorie were no better. A melancholy surrounded them.This Incident not only shook them but also forced them to remember those dreadful days and night they want to forget. But maybe being connected to these seven means to prepare yourself for the worst as destiny wont leave a chance to test you. .

But amidst this Rajveer never missed a chance to persuade Naina and she ignored his every attempt. The more Rajveer tried to clear him, Naina's irritation increased . The more Rajveer tried to get close of her, the more she distant herself.

Days were passing in hiding the scars, nights were witnessing the vulnerable side. Where happiness wants to hug them, a fear was knocking their door too.

But these seven days were not easy for Yuvraj too. He came Mumbai to catch Shree but that dunce forgot, if his name is changed from something to Yuvraj, similarly their name also changed from Abhay and Shree to something else.

Kismet's play one must say is so unpredictable, the moment one thought Yuvraj will catch Rajveer and Naina, kismet laughed and showed them how big nincompoop he is.

After searching for seven days, he finally found Shree's details, but that also half. He came to know her name is Naina, but what about her last name? He did not bother to check her last name. He again rushed to the college, and tried finding her address but again destiny played a game with him. There were two Naina's in the competition. One was from Delhi and the other from Kolkata.

He used his brain and thought there can never be any trace of Naina in delhi, so his Naina must be from Kolkata.He gave the peon some 500 rupee note and left the campus, oblivious of this, Sheena was following him from the day 1. She noticed his every move, his every exploration and smiled he will remain a bull headed.

The day he was about to leave Mumbai, Sheena caught him at the entrance

"Mil gayi Shree aapko,dhund liya, kar li apne mann ki? Canberra se Mumbai, Mumbai se Jaipur, phir Jaipur se Mumbai.Kaafi thak gaye honge na aap, Ab thoda rest kar le?"

She said very sweetly to him, but he was shocked with her gesture. His mind thought her words to be her apprehension. But reality was something else.

She was not at all worried for him, she taunted him at his failed attempt of finding Naina. She forced Yuvraj to come back to their house as she need to discuss something important with them.

They reached the Oberoi Mansion, and she called Abhimanyu who was busy in sweating at gym. Abhimanyu came running hearing her voice, how can he forget how she treated him after he said some words in his drunken state.

Fearing of loosing every penny, he ran downstairs and saw Yuvraj sitting on a couch and Sheena was reading a file. But before he could ask the reason behind her urgency, she throw the file, she was reading in front of Abhimanyu and Yuvraj and shouted

"Isi wajah se kuch bhikariyo ko apne ghar me rakha hain humne. Derby was the game jahan humein harana toh dur, humse compete karne me bhi log darte the. Aur aaj poore teen match hum haar gaye. Wajah? Koi nahi janta."

She turned her back towards them and dialled someone's number while Abhimanyu and Yuvraj were shocked looking at the files.

Hindu College, Delhi

Neeksha, Pooja, Naina three different person yet one soul. Pain of one becomes unbearable for the other two. Neeksha trying her best to hide her pain in her smile and Naina and Pooja trying their best to make her smile, forgetting their pain.

So, to control everything Naina took the weapon of books in her hand and started marking important topics for their exam when her eyes landed on Neeksha who was lost in some other world.

She nudged Pooja and gestured her to look at Neeksha, and said

"Pooji,tujhe samjh aaya na jo abhi maine samjhaya National income kaise calculate karte hain?Iske important key factors kaun kaun se hain?"

Pooja gave her a questioning gaze, itched her head and said

"Pehle state income to samjha de mujhe,national kahan se samjhu main?Aur key ?Konsi key? Room wali to mere pocket mein hain aur baki ki duplicate keys tum do ke paas mein hain.Naina yaar kya bake jaa rahi hain tu?Mere to sir ke upar se ud raha hain sab kuch."

Neeksha came back from her reverie and said

"Abey padhne baithe ho ya kaunsi key kiske paas hain yeh dekhne? Naina please aage ka padha de warna ise bhookh lag jayegi toh paper phad ke chaba jayegi ya bakwas karegi."

Pooja, faking tears said

"Yaar Niks tu mere liye aise bolegi?Tune dil tod diya nikss mera dil tod ke phod ke uska nimbu pani bana ke pee gayi tu.Sheeshe ka dil mera patthar ka jamana Nikss tune mera dil tod diya."

Naina looked at Pooja and said

"Hogaya tera drama ya kuch aur bhi karna baki reh gaya hain.Padhai na karne ke 1000 bahane dhund leti hain yeh ladki, bas 24 ghante muh se iske bakwas nikalwa lo.Dhyan do dono ke dono yahan pe."

But again Pooja said

"Naina yaar tu aur teri yeh kitaabein teri is bimaari mein tu mujhe kyun ghasit rahi hain?Mujhe dur rakh is se please.Aaja Nikss chal ek selfie lete hai mast si."

But before they could click a selfie, Sameera entered the room with four coffee mugs and said

"Ailaa! Yeh kya ho raha hain? Mere bina tum log selfies le rahe ho? Hato side me mujhe bhi lene do selfies."

She joined them in clicking selfies, when Naina said

"Bas yahi sab to karne aaye hain hum sab yahan pe,Hain naa? Selfie Selife khelne. Yeh fikar kisi ko nahi hain ki .Next week se humare exams hain aur in sabko dekhon, books chod ke inse sab kuch karwa lo.Bas koi padhai ka naam mat lo in logo ke saamne."

Pooja and Sameera looked dejected towards Naina and said

"No way! Lut gaye, hum barbaad hogaye. Naina ke saath reh ke bhari jawani me hum buddhe hogaye."

Naina stared at them and said

"Achaa budhe ho rahe ho tum sab ke sab? Koi naa main ek kaam karti hun aunty ko call karke bata deti hun ki yeh log yahan barbad ho rahe hain aunty, aap inko yahan se aake le jaao,karu call?"

Sameera got afraid of her mother's taunt and said

"Nahi nahi nahi. Main padhne baith hi rahi hun, Mummy ko call mat karna please warna chappal aayegi seedha. Main aayi isiliye thi yahan pe ki mujhe padha de naa Naina. 1st year ki topics kuch chode the aur ab second year me new topics unse connected hain to kuch palle nahi pad raha. Help kar na."

But before she could say anymore Alekh, Harshad and Rajveer entered their room and Alekh said

"Yeh to wahi wali baat hogayi langar me bat rahe the rasgulle aur aate hi sabse pehle humein mil gaye.Naina devi ki jai hoo, yaar humein bhi kuch padha do agar fail hogaye naa, to ghar nikala milega woh alag ,saath ke saath hath pair tod ke bahar feka jaayega.Kuch bhala humara bhi kar do."

Rajveer joined him and said

"Haan yaar Naina, please help kar do na. Warna sach me bhaiya aur Nanu dono ghar ke bahar phek denge humein."

Naina, though got irritated with Rajveer's presence controlled herself for Neeksha's sake and agreed in teaching everyone. As soon as she agreed, everyone joined the beds, shifting the tables and started studying.

After a long hours of studying, Naina and Pooja left their room while Sameera stayed with Neeksha and indulged her in some gossips. Naina and Pooja silently went to meet their new psycologists. They reached the room and read the name Ragini Oberoi. Both of them gave a nervous glance to each other and entered the room.

Ragini was sitting in her chair and reading some papers, seeing them she gave a sweet smile and gestured them to sit. After exchanging few glances Ragini thought

"1 hafte se tumhare intezaar me the hum Shree ,Tara ,ab jaake chidiya jaal me phasi hain.Kuch nahi badla in sab logo mein sab ke sab pehle ke jaise, wahin rishta,wahin pyaar saath aur wahin chehra.

Ab jab shikar khud chalke halaal hone aa hi gaya hain to let the game begin main kyun piche hatun phir. Tch tch ! bechari Nishtha i mean neeksha pehle himmat khoyi , phir swabhimaan khoya ab apne dosto se hath dhone wali hain.

Itna zehar ghol dungi in dono ke mann mein tumhare liye ki tumhari shakal tak dekhna pasand nahi karenge yeh dono .The game has began baby."

She cleared her throat and said

"Hi, Girls .So tell me kaise ho tum dono ?And Abhinav sir told me about you guyz .I already knew that u guyz need my help in healing neeksha's mental state.So tell me everything about her shuru se leke sab kuch.Uski life ki choti se choti aur badi se badi har baat.I mean i have to diagnose her naa ,so I need her details."

Pooja felt uneasy with her words and looked towards Naina, who seemed happy with Ragini's knowledge. But before Pooja could react Naina said

"Usko waise to kabhi koi problem thi hi nahi mam,she was perfectly fit and fine.Par jab hum log wapis aaye to she was in that condition jiske details Abhinav sir ne aapko already bata diye hain.I dont think we need to memorise that jinxfull night.

But mam mujhe confusion is baat ki hain, Jab use chot lagi thi pair me to doctor ne use yeh medicine prescribe ki,naa ki koi painkiller .Aur sabse badi baat mam jab se usne yeh dawa lena shuru kiya hain,she started hallucinating. Jiski wajah se din b din uski halat sudharne ki jagh aur bigad rahi hain.

Isliye mam we need your help to recover her. Dr.said use khush rakho uske trauma se bahar laao ,par kaise?Yahi jaana tha aur in medicines ki details bhi."

But Pooja, felt a negative vibe in that room. The way Ragini was smiling gave her goosebumps, so she just holded Naina's hand and said to Ragini

"Ma'am sorry to interrupt you,par hum khud yahan aapse help magne ke liye aaye the. Agar hum hi sab kuch aapko bata denge toh humein aapki help ki toh koi zarurat hi nahi padegi.Phir hum yahan aaye hi kyun hain, jab ki aapke behaviour se to aise lag raha hain jaise ki doctor aap nahi hum dono hain?

Aur agar yeh sach hain,ki hum dono to already certified doctors hain aapke according, to i think humein khud hi nikss ko diagnose kar lena chahiye. Yeh naina toh hain hi pagal bekaar mein humein yahan aapke paas le aayi aur aapka aur humara dono ka waqt barbad kar diya.Aur to aurr...."

But before Pooja could abuse her more and show her how a psychologist should behave, Naina dragged her out when Pooja said

"Arey waah ! meri behen kya baat hain, tu yahan kya kar rahi hain,yeh teri asali jagah nahi hain. Is college me aane ke bajaye tujhe to I.B ya R.A.W me jana chaiye tha . Galat aagayi tu yahan par. Ruk abhi Yug bhaiya ko call karke batana padega ki aapne apni behen ko galat jagah pe bhej diya hain.

Itni details salute karne ka dil kar raha hain tujhe.Ruk kyun gayi thi yeh bhi bol deti use, ki Niks roz kab kab aur kitni baje chai peeti hain?Kab khati hain ? kab soti hain?Kab ek number ya do number jaati hain,Hain na? Acche se use humari nikss ki janam kundali bana ke de deti."

And Naina gritted her teeth and said

"Yeh Kya tha pooji? Kaunsa tarika tha yeh baat karne ka ?Professor thi woh humari,pagal hain kya tu kya bole jaa rahi thi, tu unhe?Hum unse help lene gaye the ya unki insult karne.We need professional help to cure her from this trauma ,for neekshu please samajh.

Yeh dekh Neekshu ka naam li aur uska message bhi aagaya chal.Woh hum sabka canteen mein wait kar rahi hain.Ab muh sadana band kar, apni is tinde jaise shakal pe thodi smile laa,warna neekshu ko fikar ho jaayegi bewajah ki achank se hum dono ko kya hua?Challlll....Baad mein sad lena ."

They both left the place to meet Neeksha who was waiting for them at Canteen.

But before they could reach canteen, Rajveer pulled Naina towards him and hid behind a pillar. Pooja after few seconds turned back when she got no reply from her, and found no one. She tried calling her but thought maybe she went to washroom, thus avoided it and moved towards the canteen .

Rajveer on the other side hold Naina tightly in his grip and looked at her eyes to understand her condition. Her unsaid words, her inner turmoil. But what he saw in her eyes, made him more intransigent.

His hold became strong and she tried pushing him, when he said

"Aaj jab tak tum meri puri baat sun nahi leti, main tumhe yahan se jaane nahi dunga Naina. Ek hafte se paaglo ki tarah peeche bhag raha hun main tumhare taki ekbaar apni side bata saku, ekbaar dikha saku tumhe ki sach kya hain, par har baar tum muh pher kar chali jati ho.Par aaj nahi Naina bahut hua. Aaj tumhe meri har baat sunni hi padegi."

Naina looked towards him with repugnance and said

"Ohh, to yeh bhi kya tumhare kisi plan ka hissa hain,mere piche bhagna, mujhe manana?Aur akele mein to tum kum se kum mere saath yeh drama karo hi mat, ki tumhe kitni fikar thi us dosti ki jo kab ki khatm ho chuki hain.Apna yeh mukhauta bahar walo ke liye rakho,mere samne yeh sab natak karne ka ab koi fayda nahi hain.Now leave me,dur hato mujhse."

He got hurt with her words trying to look for that hope which will say, she is just saying this out of angst. But his hope got doomed in few seconds when she again said

"Mr.Rajveer Singh Shekhawat the great actor , tumhe to oscar dena chaiye logo ki feeling ke saath khelne ka,nahi?Ab rasta chodo mera aur dur hato mujhse,ghinn aane lagi hain mujhe tumse."

His grip became more tight, hearing all the accusation. What was his fault? He just want Naina to be safe. Is it so wrong to wish for? Yes, it was wrong when he planned to distract her from Abhay, but that was also for her betterment. When he avoided her, she was always wriggling in front of him and now when he wants her, she is treating him like a trash.

But he cannot blame her, its his fault that she is behaving like this. Otherwise, Naina is not like this, he saw her in Mumbai. She is the best and he will pacify her and if that means she will hurt him, he is ready for that too.

His eyes were showing his pain, unknown to him its getting pooled but Naina thought it to be his drama again and hissed in pain when the grip on her arms became more strong.

Rajveer hearing her moan came back to his senses and left her with a jerk and turned his back while moving his hand through his hairs. He again hurt Naina unknowingly, this fact pierced his heart and few drops spilled his eyes. Naina ran from there as soon as he left her while Rajveer punched the pillar so hard that his knuckles turned red.
