Shivay sees her and taps on her shoulder. Gauri looks at Shivay. Shivay glares.

Shi: care to explain kis khushi mein you are behaving this strange

Anika frowns:,matlab

G:,matlab everyone notices the "heart throb" "hero" Rudy but my eyes always see only the one who walks with him silently trying hard to hide the irritation as girls hover him and walk like a shadow of his best friend.

Anika shocked and stunned: O Om Omkara?

Gauri grins: sahi jawab. One and only Omkara Singh Oberoi.My hero.

A: but how come it. I mean I have never seen you talk to him or anything. You always ignore him whenever he is near you.I mean uss din bhi when he was talking to me you were busy reading the book na.

G:,The story starts from the corridor of our college.

A:,wow

Anika sits interested.

G:, That was my first day in college. I joined here one year back for second year as my father got transfer here. I found the notice board and was about to write the time table then I saw a crowd and noticed Rudy entering hugging and giving flying kisses. A girl called him Rudy and I understood this is the rival of my best friend Shivay. I shook my head and was going to write but my ink pen was not writing. Like everyone I vigorously shook my ink pen without noticing certain long hair man was standing beside me in white T shirt.

A:,omkara?

Gauri smiles and nods.

A: phir
