So:anyways Shanti maam is calling you

Anika wide eye: Kyun

So:dont know go and see

A: ok

Anika goes. Soumya gets message from Rudy to go on the near by cafe. She smiles and goes. Gauri was walking singing alone.

G: tu mera tu mera tu mera hero no:1. Sona kitna sona heeeiiin

Someone goes to fall over her from behind. Gauri without turning back rolls her eyes and smiles fake ans turns.

G: humare clumsy queen, aaj aur koi nahi mila to make fall

Svetlana was standing smiling nervous with a chalk box in her hand.

Sv:sorry vo I slipped. Pata nahi kaise

G: I saw na kaise you slipped. Vaise what is the count today

Svetlana pouts and shows 3.

Gauri smiles:good going. There is still time. Arre waah

Svetlana frowns.

G:,aaj toh with props you are practicing to fall. Who gave you this.

Sv: no no vo Veer Sir told to bring chalk box

Svetlana smiles blushing.

G: of course, Veer sir. Came only one week before na

Sv: haan

G: thats why he doesn't know , I wish he gets at least one chalk piece from this.

Sv:,aisa koi baat nahi hein. I wont fall and will not allow anything to happen to this. Tum dekhna

Svetlana walks. Gauri sighs as none was there.

G: thank God she will fall alone not with anyoneee

She looks wide eye seeing Om walking from opposite direction.

Sv: careful Svetlana, dont fall, dont fall. Each step careful. You can do it (without seeing the step)you caaaan

The chalk box falls and the wood powder falls on Om's eyes.

O: ouch

Gauri hits her head.

G: yeh ladki bhi na.

Svetlana pouts: sorry

O:,Svetlanaaa when will you learn to walk yaar ouch my eyes.

Sv: vo I didn't see the steps.

Om rubbing his eyes.

O:,you study here from two years and don't know the steps.

Svetlana pouts.

Sv: nahi nahi mein

O: its ok Svets, jaao I know the directions.

Sv: ok, sorry again

Om smiles

O:,its ok

G: (haaye how sweet)

Svetlana goes. Om walks. Om goes to hit the pillar. Gauri goes and pulls him back.

O:,Svetlana I will go I dont want to fall down now vo

Om frowns and touch Gauri's salwar top. Gauri frowns.

O: full sleeves? Toh you are not Svetlana.

Gauri rolls her eyes. Om sighs.

O: kya hua

Gauri makes him touch the pillar and leaves her hand

O: ohhh sorry sorry vo I cant see coz of eye closed.Thank you, whats your name

Gauri goes to say then stops thinking

G: (Shivay said I behave indifferent to him thats why he doesn't doubt me toh if I say my name if he knows that I )

O:,are you there? Chali gayi? Suno will you lead me to washroom please

Om stretch his hands to search. Gauri holds his hand and walks. Om smiles

O: thanks. Vaise whats your name

Gauri doesn't say anything.

O: kya hua why are you not telling anything. I dont think we have a student who doesn't speak in this college.

Gauri rolls her eyes.

O:,maunvrat ho kya

Gauri shakes her bangles like saying yes.

O: really?

Gauri again shakes her bangle.

O: for nice husband

Gauri smiles and nods again.Om chuckles.

O:wow nowadays also girls like you are there who believe they get nice husbands by taking vrat. But I think there is no use of all this

Gauri frowns.

O:coz already God has written na who is your partner. Acha ho ya bura you should adjust

Gauri's mouth goes O.

O: ab keeping vrat you can neither change it nor change his nature (logic)

They reach the washroom. Gauri stops.

O:,kya hua

Gauri makes him touch the door.

O:,ohh washroom aa gaya

Gauri shakes her bangles. Om enters the washroom. Gauri sighs and turns to go.Om opens the door.

O: suno

Gauri stops. Om searches and holds her hand over the sleeves

O: I forgot to say thank you(Om touches her bracelet and frowns)

O: tum?

Gauri frowns seeing Om's smile turning into frown.

O: you are the one na jo yesterday

Gauri looks wide eye.

G:,(mann mein sanka lag gaye lanka. )

Gauri tries to free her hands. Om pulls her inside the washroom shocking her. Om pushes her to the wall near the wash basin. Gauri breathes heavily due to tension and proximity.

O: tum ho na

Om wraps his arm around her waist like yesterday.

O: tum ho, vahi waist.

Om holds her one hand and feels her bracelet.

O: vahi hands.

Om roams his hand over her hand. Gauri stands eyes closed feeling. Om cares her cheeks and touch her lips.

O: vahi soft lips.

Gauri opens her eyes. Om goes to open his eyes. Gauri looks wide eye , she suddenly opens the pipe and splashes water on his face. Om startled and moves away. Gauri opens the door and runs. (#souji28 sorry now this much masala's scope is there. )

Om opens his eyes and see none. Gauri stops behind a pillar breathing heavily and blushing remembering what happened then comes back to real world and goes to run.

G: no Gauri running is not an option. Dekh he will come now outside from the washroom. You are not lady Usain bolt to run and escape from this long corridor before he opens the door. He will definitely see your outfit. Aur hiding is also not an option. There is no hiding spot other than pillars which is so easy to spot. Toh ab kya karein.

Om opens the door and looks to his left eagerly. Om looks to his right and see Gauri walking with her bag coolly(ab only we know how she feels inside). Gauri walks past him and sighs closing her eyes.

G: (bach gayi Shankarji)

O: suno

Gauri stops and close her eyes whining.

G: (Shankarji? Oh my mata hua)

O: did you see any girl running .

Gauri : huh?(smiling)(matlab bach gaye, ok Gauri be calm, indifferent mode on)

Om comes to her.Gauri stands expression less.

O: ek ladki ko dekha who

G: I think you are mistaken

Om frowns.

G: I am not your friend jo har ladki ko dekhte hi rahege. So sorry

Om rolls his eyes. Gauri walks past him and sighs.

O: I wonder what problem she has with me (rolling his eyes ) ofcourse best friend of her best friend's rival na. Such an honest friend

Om shook his head.

O:but where did she go? Missed her yaar damn. That means she knew its me and kept quiet to

Om sighs.

O: its like between the cup and the lip.damn

Gauri sits on stairs sighing.

G: yeh kya hua, what was he doing?

Gauri blushes and smiles and looks at her hands which Om held

G: itna eager to see but I know after seeing me you will be

Gauri smiles.

G: Its better I dont say anyone. I hope you dont say that duffer Rudy too

Shivay comes to her.

Shi: you are here?

G:,kya hua

Shi: there is a good news and bad news.

G: bad news?

Shivay nods.

G: ok first good news.

Shi: I am going to Pune for the Science meet one week.

Gauri grins.

G: wow thats a great news Shivay.

Gauri hugs him smiling

G: I am proud of you.

Shivay sits nodding.

G: arre you dont worry about me. I am fine. Anika is there na

Shi: thats the bad news na

G: kya

Shi: haan my partner is Ms Anika Kapoor.

Gauri looks surprised then giggles.

Shi: haan haso . I dont know how Shanti maan thought we will be perfect as a team. Seriously. We are like north pole and South pole

G: tab hi toh. Shanti maam is good in her subject' Physics'.

Shi: kya

G: haan she knows opposite poles attracts.

Shivay glares at her.

G: (mouth when Shivay say) tum pagal ho.

Shi: opposite attracts. My foot. I dont know what will I do.I cant even tolerate her for an hour and maam is telling about 5 days. I am sure of one thing

G: kya

Shi: either of one of us wont come alive after one week.

A: I hope its you , then only the college will get Shanti.

Shivay sighs closing his eyes. Gauri rolls her eyes.

Shi: haan haan I am the one who talks a lot and create noise pollution na.

A: noise pollution nahi you create air pollution by letting smoke from your nose and ears which is always red in anger.

Shivay looks at her in anger.Gauri watches them keeping hand under the chin.

A: dekha

Shi: kya dekhoon? Jab dekho talking without logic and I wonder how come you can participate in Science quiz. Have you even heard about the word logic.

A: ohhhh thank God you know the word "hear" . Ab if you know then try to do it too. Then how come you can win the quiz round. You will tell the answer without hearing the question na when quiz master say wrong. Yiu will say THIS is my answer change the question according to it.

Shi: see this is what I told illogical. Aur I am not interested to listen stupid things thats why I dont hear you

A: only you feel my talking illogical

They both turn their faces.

G: ho gaya?

Shivay and Anika looks at Gauri.

Shi: kya

G: dekho guys. Fight here and finish everything and go for the meet.coz shanti maam and entire college trust you to win the competition and make our college proud ,not to fight there and do the opposite. I hope my friends are at least that much mature to understand this and behave accordingly.

Shivika thinks.

A: you are right Gauri

Shi: first time I also agree with you so

Shivay forward his hands.

Shi: what say

Anika shake hands.

A: I say rest of the fight to be continued after one week.

Shivay rolls his eyes. Gauri shook her head.

Lunch break

Shivay and Gauri was walking to the canteen

Shi: use my scooter ok. I will leave it in the college and go.

G: ok

Shi: please dont do anything stupid. I am not there

G:,dont you think you are behaving like my father instead of friend.

Shivay rolls his eyes.

Shi: tum na

Ru: Shivaay

Shivay turns to him. Gauri too. Om was walking behind him.

Ru: I heard you are going away from college for one week.

Shi: haan sahi suna

Rudy nods.

Ru: science meet huh?

Shi: wow you know to say such words. I thought you only know "babes,beautiful, flirting", etc

Rudy smiles: that is the problem na you dont understand.

Rudy pats his shoulder.Shivay looks at his hand.

Ru: dont worry dude. Rudy here no fear

Rudy winks at Gauri.

Ru: I will take care of your best friend.she will be safe

Gauri looks at him wide eye. Rudy winks.Shivay smiles.

Shi: really?

Ru: of course

Shi: then do one thing

Ru:,kya

Shi: stay away from her. That only keeps her safe.

Gauri hides her smile covering with her file.

Rudy pouts. Shivay shook his head.

O: all the best Shivay

Shivay smiles at him: Thank you Omkara.
