Mumbai City...

A girl was walking in hurry. She looked at her watch and widened her eyes. She was getting late. She increased her speed and started walking faster.

After sometime she entered her college while breathing heavily. Now there was few distance between her and her classroom.

Now she started running and didn't even notice that a guy was coming from opposite side. He also couldn't notice her as he was wearing his headphone.

As a result both collided with each other and fell on the ground. The girl was on his top and the guy was under her. His phone slipped from his hand.

"Siyappa!" Uttered the girl looking at him with wide eyes.

The guy narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

The girl immediately nodded her head negatively.

The guy sighed and said, "Ab hatogi yaa iss position mein rehna accha lag raha hai?"

The girl's cheeks turned red in embarassment. She immediately stood up and started picking up her bag. The guy also stood up.

The girl was about to pick up his phone as well when he yelled, "Stop!"

The girl shivered hearing that and took her hand back.

"Yeh tumhara phone hai?" He asked angrily to which she again nodded her head negatively.

"Then don't touch it." He warned and picked up his phone.

"Accha tum dekh kar nahi chal sakti? Aur har baar main hi milta hoon kya tumhe takrane ke liye?"

"Woh..... Woh.... Zaldi mein thi." Fumbled the girl getting scared of his anger.

The guy nodded his in disbelief and said, "Dumbo!"

Saying that the guy left. The girl kept looking at him sadly.

As soon as the guy left, some other girls started laughing at her.

"What happened? Subah subah mere Sid ne Ms. Shehnaaz...Sorry... Ms. Dumbo ki insult kar diyi." Said Zara, one of the mean girls.

Shehnaaz didn't say anything and looked down.

"I think yeh Sid se jaan bujh ke takrayi thi. You know, touch karne ka bahana." Said one of Zara's friend.

Zara laughed and said, "I can understand. Sid ke jaise hot senior ko dekh ke koi bhi phisal sakta hai. But kya fayda? Tum jaisi ladki ko Sid kabhi mud ke naa dekhe. Then why do you even try?"

Sana was just bearing the insult without saying anything. Now this type of things don't bother her anymore. She had already gone through a lot.

Seeing Shehnaaz silent, Zara got irritated and said, "Oh God! Why do I even talk to this Dumbo? Hey you, get out of here."

Shehnaaz just nodded and left from there. She went to her classroom and sat with her group of friends. In her group, nobody paid her that much attention but at least they didn't bully her like others. So she loved to stay in that group.

Since school days, Shehnaaz had always been bullied by her friends because of her appearance. Being too much shy and introvert, she never took stand for herself. When she was a child, everything was perfect. But when she became a teenager, her friends started distancing themselves from her. They used to mock her for being nerd. Even they used to body-shame her. At first she couldn't tolerate and used to cry for hours in her room. But as days passed, she became habituated. She found her only friends in her books. She didn't want to change herself so she decided to be what she was and let people think whatever they wanted.

Like this she completed her school. She knew that college life would be more difficult as there she would be bullied more. But she was ready to face it until something unexpected happened in her life at the first day of college.

Flashback...

Shehnaaz got ready for college and looked at the mirror.

"Acchi toh dikh rahi hoon. Par paata hai, college mein phir bhi sab mujhe haathi, chasmish, behenji yeh saare ajeeb ajeeb naam se bulayenge. But I don't care. Because I love myself."

Thinking that she took her bag and left home.

While leaving she looked upwards and prayed, "College ka pehle din hai. Please sab kuch sahi karna. Haan chhote mote insults main jhel lungi. Bas koi bada siyappa na ho."

After sometime she went to college. While entering she saw some students gossiping about her looks but as usual she ignored them.

She was walking in the corridor searching for her classroom. As she was getting late, she started hurrying. Because of that she couldn't understand when she collided with a hard, rock-like chest and fell down.

The way she fell, her ankle got twisted and glasses also fell.

"Ammmaaaaa!!!!!" She started crying holding her ankle as it was paining like hell.

The guy was none other that Sidharth. He became puzzled as he didn't know what to do in this situation. In his whole life, he had never dealt with any crying girl.

"Hey, stop crying please. I'm sorry." He said going near her.

"Ammma dard ho raha hai...." She said while crying.

Sidharth noticed her ankle. He tried to touch them but Shehnaaz got little scared and moved back.

"Relax! I'm just checking. Maybe I can help you." He said.

Shehnaaz calmed down. Sidharth hold her ankle.

"I'm going to twist it." He said after sometime.

"Aur dard hoga." Said Shehnaaz.

"Nahi hoga. Trust me."

For the first time, Shehnaaz felt like trusting someone other than her family.

"Ok." She said and closed her eyes.

Sidharth twisted her ankle in one go and Shehnaaz screamed.

"Aaaaaaaaaa.....Aaaaaaaa......Aaaaaa!!"

She kept screaming for no reason. Sidharth looked at her with disbelief.

"Oh hello! Tumhara ankle thik ho gaya hai. Ab chilla na band karo."

Hearing him, Shehnaaz stopped screaming and moved her ankle. She became happy.

"Thank you." She said smiling to which Sidharth also chuckled.

Then she started finding her glasses. Sidharth picked up her glasses and made her wear it. Now Shehnaaz saw his face clearly.

Shehnaaz kept staring at his handsome face meanwhile her heart screamed 'Siyappa'.

Sidharth then told her to take care of herself and not to walk in hurry. But She couldn't hear anything as if she was under some magic spell. She couldn't utter a single word.

Sidharth hold her arms and helped her to stand up. Now they saw each others' faces from close.

Earlier Shehnaaz had seen many handsome men but nobody attracted her like this. She understood how it felt to fall for someone at the first sight.

"Chal paaogi?" Asked Sidharth jerking her a little to which she came back to reality.

She nodded in yes.

"College mein nayi ho?" He asked to which she again nodded in yes.

"Naam?"

"Shehnaaz."

"Department kaunsa hai?"

"Economics."

Sidharth showed her the classroom and she again thanked him.

"Phir se bol raha hoon. Aage se dhyan se chalna." Said Sidharth and started leaving.

Shehnaaz didn't have the courage to ask his name. So she started going towards her classroom.

Suddenly Sidharth turned back and said, "Shehnaaz!"

Hearing her name from his mouth, she turned back excitedly. He went to her and removed her glasses making her confused.

He handed her the glasses and said looking at her, "Your have beautiful eyes. Inhe glasses ke peeche mat chhupao. Don't do injustice with them."

Saying that Sidharth left. Shehnaaz kept standing in that position.

From that day, Shehnaaz started wearing contact lenses. Soon she came to know that the guy was Sidharth, her senior. Besides that, she also came to know how much famous Sidharth was in the college, specially among girls. He would be always surrounded by beautiful girls. Though Sidharth never gave a damn to any girl, it showed Shehnaaz her place. She knew he would never notice her so didn't even try. They used to interact very less. But Shehnaaz used to adore him secretly which was unknown to everyone.

Flashback Ends...

It was the lunch break. Sitting in the canteen, Shehnaaz's group was discussing about an interesting topic.

"Do you guys know that Zara is going propose Sidharth?" Said a friend.

Shehnaaz was eating silently but as soon as she heard it, her food got chocked. She immediately drank water and then started listening to the conversation very much attentively.

"How do you know?" Asked another friend.

"Arrey maine Zara aur uske friends ko baatein karte hue suna. Woh sayad aaj hi propose karegi."

"Sidharth haan karega?"

"I don't think so. Woh toh apne hi alag attitude mein rehta hai. Woh Zara jaisi ladki ko date nahi karega."

"But why? I mean she is so hot. College ki sabse popular ladki hai. Ladke marte hai uske peeche. Aur dekha jaaye woh Sidharth ke type ki bhi hai. I think woh haan kar dega."

"Nahi karega."

"Chal iss hi baat pe bet 500-500 ka bet lagate hai." Suggested one of them to which everyone agreed.

Some said that Sidharth would say yes while some said that he would reject her. At last they looked at Shehnaaz.

"Tera kis pe lagau?" Asked her friend.

Shehnaaz started thinking. She imagined Sidharth and Zara. Yes, they would definitely look perfect together. There was no reason for Sidharth to reject a girl like Zara.

With a heavy heart, Shehnaaz said, "Yes pe laga de."

After sometime...

Sidharth was going when Zara blocked his way.

"Hi Sid! I need to talk to you. Are you free?" She asked being little bit nervous.

"Yeah, say." Said Sidharth.

"Actually I have planning to tell you since many days.... Umm... I love you. Will you be my boyfriend?"

Zara was very eager to know his answer while Sidharth was standing there with a poker face, crossing his arms.

After a long pause, he said, "No!"

Saying that he started leaving.

Zara was shocked. She never thought in her life that one day a guy would reject her as she never considered herself less than a supermodel.

"But why?" She almost screamed.

Sidharth turned and said, "Because I love someone else."

And he left.

Next day the news spread like flame in the whole college. Two topics were being discussed in every group. One was 'Sidharth rejected Zara' and the other one was 'Sidharth loves someone'. Shehnaaz's group was no different.

When she came to know that Sidharth rejected Zara, she was on cloud nine. Though she lost the bet and had to give 500 rupees, it didn't matter to her. But as soon as she heard that Sidharth already had someone in his life, her face turned pale again.

"See, I told you guys. Itna handsome ladka kabhi single reh sakta hai? No way. Sayad uski life mein bohut pehle se koi aur hai and I'm sure their bond is very much stronger. Isliye toh aaj tak Sidharth ne kisi aur ladki ko aankh utha ke bhi nahi dekha."

"How lucky the girl is! Meri curiosity toh aur bhi zyada badh gayi. I want to know who the girl is."

"Definitely iss college ka koi nahi hai. Yaaha ki ladkiya jo Sidharth ke aage peeche ghumti rehti hai, woh saari toh gopiya hai, even Zara. Sidharth ki Radha ki aur hi hai."

Not only her friends, but Shehnaaz was also very curious to know about the girl. Yes, she loved him very much but she new her place in his life. She was among those 'gopiyan'. After all a girl like her could never be his 'Radha'.

"Paata nahi kaisi hogi woh ladki? Sayad dikhne mein Zara se bhi khubsurat ho. Uske jitni height hogi, smart hogi. Sab mila kar jaaye toh koi apsara hi hogi Sidharth pyaar karta hoga. Khair, main soch ke kya karu? Agar main iss duniya ki akhri ladki bhi hui na toh bhi woh mujhe pasand nahi karega. I should stop thinking about him. He is like moon to me. Jise main dur se pyaar toh kar sakti hoon lekin kabhi haasil nahi kar sakti." Thought Shehnaaz.

She decided not to think about him anymore. When a person was already in love with someone else then dreaming about him all the day and expecting something from him was meaningless. But she only wished to see that girl for once.

Some days passed like this. One day she was going to her classroom when she met Zara and her friends.

"Kaha chali?" Asked Zara with attitude.

"Class mein." Replied Sana.

"Agar naa jaane doon toh?"

Shehnaaz started panicking. Will they bully her? Or ragging?

"K..k...kyu? K...kya hua?" She asked stammering.

"Kuch nahi bas, ek kaam tha." Said Zara and took out keys from her bag.

"Keys of Sidharth's apartment. I have stolen it from his bag. Tumhara kaam yeh hai ki tumhe college bunk karke uske apartment mein jaana hai aur paata karna hai ki uski life mein jo ladki hai woh kaun hai. Woh apne apartment mein akela hi rehta hai so I don't think tumhe zyada problem hogi. And I'm sure waaha se koi na koi clue toh zaroor mil jayega. Kar paaogi?"

Shehnaaz nodded in no and said, "Mujhse nahi hoga. Agar usse paata chal gaya toh gussa ho jayega?"

"Nahi paata chalega kyu ki jab tum uske apartment mein jaaogi tab woh classes mein busy hoga. Par agar tum nahi gayi toh main gussa ho jaaungi."

Saying that Zara leaned towards her and threatened, "Apne seniors ko gussa dila ne ka anjaam jaanti ho na?"

Sana got scared and nodded in yes.

"I wil.... Do it...." She said.

Zara smirked and said, "Good girl. Now it's all yours."

Saying that Zara gave her the keys. Having no option, she left from there taking the keys.

"Yeh Dumbo sach mein kar legi? Agar pakdi gayi toh?" Asked Zara's one friend.

"Pakdi gayi toh Sidharth ka gussa isse hi face karna hoga. She doesn't have guts to take my name. And that's exactly why I chose this Dumbo."

Saying that Zara gave an evil laugh as well as her friends.

At Sidharth's Apartment...

Shehnaaz opened the door using his keys. She was constantly praying to God.

"BabaJi sher ki gufa ke andar jaa toh rahi hoon. Bas dekhna sahi salamat wapas aa saku. Aur iss bar koi Siyappa na ho. I know jo main kar rahi hoon woh galat hai lekin Zara ne aise dhamkaya, main maana bhi nahi kar paayi. Waise aap se jhut nahi bolungi, thoda manm toh mera bhi tha yeh jaan ne ka ki Sidharth kis se pyaar karta hai. I promise main itti si baat paata kar ke hi chali jaaungi. Aur aisa kaam dobara kabhi nahi karungi."

Saying that in her mind, Shehnaaz entered his apartment. But as soon as she entered, her eyes became wide.

The whole room was filled with her pictures. In every corner, there was she, only she. He captured her every moments, her going to college, returning home, smiling, laughing with friends, eating, reading, talking to puppies on the roadside, he didn't miss anything. She didn't know about herself as much as he knew about her. Since the day, she came to this college, he had been observing her keenly of which she had no idea.

Shehnaaz went closer and caressed the photos with open mouth.

On the other hand, Sidharth found out that his keys had been stolen. Without wasting any time, he left the college and returned his apartment.

There he saw Shehnaaz standing near her own photos.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He shouted.

Shehnaaz shivered and turned to him. He was red in anger. He went to her and grabbed her shoulders harshly.

"Himmat kaise hui meri permission ke bina mere apartment mein ghusne ki? Woh bhi meri keys chori karke. How could you?" He said angrily jerking her.

"Sorry... Woh... Woh... Main nahi aana chahti thi... I was forced." She said almost crying.

He suddenly realised that he was being too harsh on her and left her shoulders. He should have known this. She was too innocent to broke into someone's house. Definitely someone forced her and he knew who did it.

He face-palmed himself for sometime and then said, "I'm sorry too. Actually mujhe gussa aa gaya tha. It's my personal space. I never wanted anyone's interference here. Uss din bhi main tum pe chillaya kyu ki tum mera phone utha ne jaa rahi thi jiske lock screen pe tumhara wallpaper hai. Par ab jab tum idhar aa hi gayi aur tumne sab kuch dekh hi liya.... Then you might have understood everything."

Shehnaaz nodded in yes making Sidharth smile. He also blushed a little. But the next moment Shehnaaz said something unexpected.

"Tum ko photography ka shaukh hai na?" Asked Shehnaaz cutely.

"What?" Asked Sidharth with disbelief.

"Haan. Isliye tumne yeh photos capture kiya hai. Photography skills acchi hai tumhari. Lekin idhar sirf meri photos hi kyu hai? Baki students ki bhi photos honi chahiye thi."

Sidharth couldn't control himself anymore. He burst into laughter seeing her innocence.

Shehnaaz made a confused face.

"Seriously? Tumhe itna sab kuch dekhne ke baad yeh samajh mein aaya? Sahi kehte hai sab. Tum sach mein Dumbo ho." He said laughing.

Shehnaaz couldn't understand why he was laughing like a crazy. She thought her guess was right. What else could be the reason behind him keeping her photos?

After sometime he stopped laughing and said, "Tumhe jaan na hai yeh photos yaaha kyu hai?"

Shehnaaz nodded in yes.

"Tumne suna hoga ki main kisi ladki se pyaar karta hoon." Said Sidharth.

Remembering it, Shehnaaz made a sad face and said, "Uss hi ke baare mein paata lagane ke liye toh main yaaha aayi thi."

"I see. Phir toh tumhe paata lagna hi chahiye. Woh ladki aur koi nahi.... Tum Hi Ho."

Sana was beyond shocked.

"Main?" She asked.

"Haan Shehnaaz. I love you." Said Sidharth looking at her with love-filled eyes.

That was enough for Shehnaaz. She couldn't take anymore and fainted.

"Shehnaaaazzz!" Screamed Sidharth.

Few Moments Later...

Shehnaaz opened her eyes when Sidharth splashed some drops of water on her face. She looked at him. They both were on the couch.

"Baby are you okay?" He asked being concerned.

Shehnaaz remembered his last words before she fainted and sat up with a jerk.

"No I'm not okay. Aisa kaise ho sakta hai? Tum mere saath mazak kar rahe ho na? You don't love me." Said Shehnaaz continuously jerking her head negatively.

"Lekin main mazak kyu karunga?" Asked Sidharth.

"Kyu ki aaj 1st April hai." She said making him quiet.

He sighed and said, "Oh I forgot. But I'm not joking. I'm serious. I really love you."

"Kaise Sidharth? Matlab mere jaisi moti, bhondhu, haathi, aunty jaisi shakal wali ladki kaise tunhari choice ho sakti hai? It's impossible."

"Apne baare mein bakwas khatam ho gayi ho toh, main kuch kahu?" Said Sidharth sternly. "College ka first day yaad hai jab mujhse takrayi thi? That was the moment when I noticed your eyes, jise tum chasme ke peeche chhupati thi. Aur tumhari woh ankhein kaafi thi mujhe apne pyaar ke jaal mein fasane ke liye. I fell for you at the first sight. Log chahe tumhe kuch bhi bole, for me you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Because I fell for your cuteness, I fell for your innocence, I fell for your inner beauty. Aur tab se main tumhe har pal notice karta tha. You can say I used to stalk you. Tumhe bina bataye tumhari photos leta tha. Kyu ki tumhe dekhe bina naa toh mera din suru hota hai aur naa hi khatam. Life mein ladkiya toh bohut aayi hai. Lekin jabse tumhe dekha hai, kisi aur pe dhyan hi nahi jaata. Tab se meri dil ki dhadkan, mere jeene ki wajah, mera pehla aur akhri pyaar tum hi ho Shehnaaz, bas tum hi ho."

Shehnaaz could feel the depth in his words. And there she found immense love for her.

"Itna pyaar karte ho?" Asked Shehnaaz looking at his eyes.

He smiled and nodded in yes.

"Par agar tum nahi karti toh...."

Before he could complete, she said, "Pagal ho kya? Main toh pehle din se tumse pyaar karti hoon. Woh toh maine kabhi baataya nahi kyu ki mujhe laga main tumhare layak....."

Sidharth immediately kept his hand on her mouth and said, "Tum hi mere layak ho. Ab yeh sab faltu ki baatein mat karo aur woh kaho jo mujhe sun na hai."

Shehnaaz took his hands in hers and said, "I love you Sidharth."

Sidharth was extremely happy as well as Shehnaaz. He brought his face closer to hers and said huskily, "Now if you allow... May I kiss you?"

Shehnaaz blushed and lowered her eyelashes. Sidharth understood the hint and kissed her lips gently.

Shehnaaz was trying to move her lips but couldn't do it properly.

Sidharth broke the kiss and asked, "Kiss karna nahi aata?"

Shehnaaz made a sad pout and nodded in no.

Sidharth chuckled at her cute antics and pulled her in his lap.

"Don't worry. Kuch din mein pro ban jaogi." He said with a mischievous smile. Shehnaaz went all shy hearing that.

Sidharth cupped her face and again started smooching her lips but this time passionately.

After few days they started dating officially leaving the whole college shocked. They finished their studies and after few years got married to each other.

The End
