Librarian: it's ok.. stay quiet!

(He quietly goes inside and searches for Khushi who was sitting with a huge book lost in it. He went near her and whispered)

Shiv: Khushi..

(He looks at her and finds her wearing earphones)

Earphones? Ye gaane sun rahi hai ya sachme padh rahi hai? Pata nahi kaise kaise shoak hote hai logo ko.. Anyways..

(He picks up a random book and sits next to her, takes out his notebook and writes a note and keeps the note on her book to grab her attention. She looks at the person and finds Shiv. She gestures him a "What?" And he gestures back to read the note and she reads)

Note:

Important!
Meet me outside the library immediately!

Khushi: ab ise kya kaam ho sakta hai?

(She turns to him and finds him gone. She picks her stuff and walks out of the library. Shiv waits for her outside the library and she meets him)

Khushi: kya baat hai? Important?

Shiv: Ha.. actually mujhe aur Jannu ko tumhari aur Yash ki help chahiye hai..

Khushi: Help? Sure.. why not! How can we help you?

Shiv: it's about Karan!

Khushi: Karan? Uska kya?

Shiv: Matlab.. how do I explain? Accha, use Kriti ke liye feelings hai.. trust me very strong feelings lekin wo accept hi nahi karna chahta.. bass Khushi ki best friend hai, Khushi ki best friend hai bolke topic khatam kar deta hai.. isliye humne na use challenge kiya hai ki we will prove you ki tujhe Kriti ke liye feelings hai.. something much more than teri behen ki best friend. So.. tum aur Yash hamari madad karoge?

Khushi: Seriously? Karan? Matlab mera bhai? Wo Kriti ko pasand karta hai? Damnn.. and all this while mai aur Yash galat faimi mein the ki sirf Kriti use pasand karti hai.. yaar of course mai aur Yash isme tumhare saath hai.. Kriti ko to koi bhi yu mil sakta hai lekin Kriti na Karan ki league se bahar hi hai... Pata nahi kya dekh liya meri best friend ne uss idiot mein.. Karan ko Kriti se better koi milne ka to koi chance hi nahi..

Shiv: kar li apne bhai ki beizzati? (Laughs) anyways.. to ab ye to clear hai ki un dono ko ek dusre ke liye feelings hai.. bass unhe realise karwana hai.. tum Yash se baat kar lena aur kuch plan figure out karne ki koshish bhi karna.. mai aur Janvi bhi kar rahe hai.. to jaise hi koi lead milti hai let's discuss together.. ok?

Khushi: ok donee..

Shiv: accha to mai whatsapp pe group banata hu Jannu, Mai, Tum aur Yash.. waha pe hum discuss kar sakte hai

Khushi: ok done then... Waise mai chalti hu abhi.. Kriti aur Yash intezaar kar rahe honge.. lecture bhi hai naa.. chalo byee..

Shiv: sure... byee!!

(Shiv was leaving when Khushi stops him)

Khushi: Shiv..!

Shiv: haa

Khushi: Canteen kis taraf hai? Actually mujhe waha jaana hai and I feel lost..

Shiv: haa.. seedhe jaake left chali jao and then second right

Khushi: okk... thanks!!

Shiv: kaunsi class hai waise tumhari?

Khushi: Accounts!

Shiv: Ohh.. to canteen ke liye jaha se right lena hai wahi se agar tum left leti ho to 2nd class accounts ka hai..

Khushi: Ohh.. thank you so muchh! I wonder mai aur kitni baar iss college mein kho jaungi..

Shiv: Well... No issues! If you need tum Karan mujhe ya Jannu ko kabhi bhi call kar sakti ho

Khushi: Thanks!

(They leave thier own ways. Khushi goes to the canteen where Kriti and Yash are already waiting for her)

Kriti: Khushii!! Kaha thi yaar? Kitna time laga diya? Itnaaaa kaun late karta hai? I mean Seriously..?

Khushi: Sorry yaar.. canteen ka rasta dhundh rahi thi.. kitna bada college hai.. actually college nahi bhool bhulaiyyaa hai ye!!

Yash: Oo meri Jhaansi ki Raaniyo... Tumhara dimaag hai ya tava? Hamesha garam hi hota hai.. ab baitho dono.. mai tumhare liye tumhara favourite Cheese Sandwich lekar aata hu..

Kriti: wo sab to thik hai.. lekin tava? Yaar matlab thoda to sensible example de dete naa.. (all laugh)

Yash: Accha baitho.. mai aata hu..

Khushi: yess.. Thank you!!

(They have their food and then leave for class)

Khushi: Guyss.. uss taraf nahi iss taraf.. accounts ki class iss taraf hai..

Kriti: lekin tumhe kaise pata?

Khushi: (in mind: Shiv bolungi to hazar sawal puchenge..)

Khushi: Karan.. Karan mila tha naa.. to usne bataya tha.. aur kaise pata chalega..

Yash: oh.. accha ok.. chalo chalte hai..

(They go to their class. Shiv and Karan are planning party in the college ground)

Karan: Wo sab to manage ho jayega lekin theme kya rakhe yaar? Kuch to unique hona chahiye naa..

Shiv: hmm.. kyu na hum Indian theme rakhe? Kuch to naya hoga.. warna hamesha wahi same style western dresses aur wo theme.. boring ho gaya hai yaar..

Karan: yess.. lekin Indian ki jagah fusion rakhte hai.. something Indo - Western.. what say? Aur cultural report ke liye bhi accha impact hoga iskaa..

Shiv: Yess perfectt!!

Karan: cool... to ye final karte hai...

Shiv: Accha aur decorations ka kya update hai?

Karan: Decoration ke liye maine kuch students ko bheja hai saman ki list ke saath aur store room se jo saman lagega wo bhi nikalva liya hai.. shaam tak saara decoration ho jayega..

Shiv: Greatt.. aur catering ka kya hua?

Karan: Catering.. shitt!! Yaar wo hamesha Jannu dekhti hai to mere dimaag se hi nikal gaya..

Shiv: Shitt yaar.. mai bhi bhool gaya.. usne kaha tha mujhe uske departments handle karne ke liye..

(Karan's phone rings. Name flashes "Jannu ❤️")

Karan: Shaitan ka naam liya aur uska call aa gaya..

(He picks up the call)

Karan: Helloo.. yaar Jannu.. gadbad ho gayi yaar.. mai aur Shiv itna bade bewakoof hai naa.. Yaar tere bina kuch sahi nahi ho raha...

Janvi: Chill yaar.. mai jaanti hu bohot bade wale bewakoof ho tum dono.. maine ye batane ke liye call kiya tha ki catering walo se maine baat kar li hai, menu bhi unhe bata diya hai, tum dono ko message bhi kar diya hai menu.. ab please un logo se time vagare co-ordinate kar lena.. final check karne ke liye party se pehle to mai aa hi jaungi waise bhi... Bass tab tak please koi gadbad mat karna aur sab handle kar lenaa... Ok?

(Shiv and Karan look at each other in awe)

Shiv: You are the best Jannuu!!!

Karan: I love you so muchh!!

(All burst into laughter)

Janu: I knoww.... Accha chalo mujhe kaam hai.. meet you tomorrow!! Byee!

Shiv & Karan: Byee! Love you!!

(They continue with their work. After college, Khushi, Kriti and Yash were going towards the parking)

Kriti: Oh shitt.. mai to apna phone class mein hi bhool gayi.. tum log yahi ruko mai abhi lekar aati hu.. ok?

Khushi: Kya karti hai yaar tu Kriti? Jaa.. jaldi se lekar aa abhi..

(Kriti leaves immediately and meanwhile Khushi explains Yash about Janvi and Shiv's plan and Yash agrees to help them)

Yash: Ok then.. accha waise tum dono ghar kaise jaa rahi ho?

Khushi: Karan ke saath..

Yash: Great then.. accha suno.. mujhe abhi jana padegaa.. aur haa.. Kriti ke liye jo bhi plan hai mujhe bata denaa..

Khushi: ok donee.. mai bata dungi tujhe...

(Yash leaves and Khushi waits for Kriti. Kriti comes back in next 5 minutes)

Kriti: chale?? Mil gaya phone.. par Yash kaha hai?

Khushi: wo actually.....

(She was about to tell when Karan and Shiv comes there with their car and Shiv gets off the car. Karan is still on the driving seat)

Karan: Khushi abhi tak yaha kya kar rahi hai? Chal naa.. kabse parking mein intezaar kar raha hu mai..

(Shiv stands behind car such that only Khushi can see him and he gestures her to deny to go with him)

Shiv: (gestures: No... Don't go!!)

Karan: kya dekh rahi hai? Tujhse baat kar raha hu mai..

Shiv: Are lekin Khushi tujhe to library mein ma'am ne kuch kaam diya tha na? Mai wahi tha.. I heard her asking you to wait after college.. aur tumne haa bhi kar di thi..

Khushi: library mein aisa bhi kuch hua? Aur maine ha bhi bola?
(She thinks and he again gestures her showing Karan and Kriti so she understands he wants them to go alone in the car)
Ohh haa.. shitt.. mai to bhool hi gayi thi... Mujhe ma'am ma'am ne bulaya hai.. mai nahi aa paungi.. Karan.. tum please Kriti ko ghar drop kar do naa.. mai aati hu thodi der mein..

Karan: lekin tu akeli kaise wapas aayegi?

Khushi: akeli? Akeli kaha hu mai? Yash.. Yash hai na.. don't worry mai Yash ke saath aa jaungi..

Kriti: (in mind: ye sab kya ho raha hai? Mai Karan ke saath akeli? Nahi nahi.. mai akeli nahi jaungi Karan ke saath.. sabke hote hue meri halath kharab ho jati hai pata nahi akele mein kya ho jayega.. aur Khushi mere sath aise kaise kar sakti hai? Wo janti hai na Karan ke aas paas mai kitni nervous ho jati hu.. pehle batati to mai bhi kuch bahana de deti naa.. actually abhi bhi de deti hu.. Karan ke saath akele to mai nahi reh paungi..)

Kriti: Nahii! Khushi mai bhi tere saath ruk jati hu.. saath mein hi chale jayenge naa

Khushi: Haa lekin tu hi to bol rahi thi na ki tujhe aaj jaldi ghar jana hai.. tere mom dad skype call karne wale hai na? Ab tu yaha rukegi to unse kaun baat karega? Aur unse baat nahi karegi to baadme daant padegi kyuki unko abhi hazar instructions bhi to dene honge na unki absence mein kaise rehna hai? (Giggles) saaree parents ka favourite kaam hai yee..

Kriti: (in mind: Shitt yaar.. Mom dad ka call.. ab to koi choice nahi hai.. jaana hi padega lagta hai.. kash yaha pe laptop le aati mai to yahi se call kar leti..)

Kriti: Ok to.. mai Auto ya Taxi se chali jati hu.. mere liye ghar tak aane ki jaroorat nahi hai.. Sabko apne apne kaam hai naa.. ok then.. byee!

(She starts walking rapidly)

Karan: Kritiii.. rukoo! Khushi tu Yash ke sath aa jana.. koi bhi problem ho just give me a call ok?

Khushi: ok!

Karan: Kriti.. get in the car! Mai bhi ghar hi jaa raha hu..

Kriti: aapko.. aapko bhi kuch... kuch kaam hoga na?

Karan: nahi Kriti.. mai ghar hi ja raha hu.. come on get in fast!

Kriti: O.. ok!

(She walks towards the back seat of the car)

Karan: by the way Shiv.. tujhe kaise pata Khushi ko rukna hai? Wo bhi Library mein baat hui tab? Matlab tu library gaya thaa? Matlab jaha books hote hai waha??

Shiv: shut up Karan.. aur bataya to tha maine.. library cards ke liye freshers ki list collect karne gaya tha..

(Kriti opens the back door)

Karan: Oh haa.. bataya tha tune.. Kritii.. yaar tum log kya mujhe apna driver samjhte ho?

Kriti: k.. kya? Na.. nahi.. wo..

Karan: kya nahi wo? Aage ki seat pe baitho..

Kriti: h.. haa..

(She sits in the front seat and they leave. As they leave, Shiv and Khushi burst into laughter)

Khushi: what was that??

Shiv: Last Moment Plan ka jaaduu... yaaar kitni nervous ho jati hai Kriti Karan ke saath... Soo adorable!!

Khushi: I know right!! (Laughing)
Lekin ab mai ghar kaise jaungi? Upar se late jana padega warna unhe doubt aa jayegaa..

Shiv: tumne kaha na Yash ke sath jaogi?

Khushi: wo to maine aise hi bol diya.. Yash to kab ka chala gaya hai.. uss vaqt kuch sujha nahi to Yash ka naam le liya.. aur tumne bhi aise achanak se plan bana diya..

Shiv: hmm.. accha koi baat nahi.. thodi der baad mai tumhe drop kar dunga.. bass Yash ko call karke ek baar inform kar dena.. agar unka call gaya Yash ko to unhe pata nahi chalna chahiye wo college mein nahi haii..

Khushi: oh haa.. abhi karti hu..waise mujhe bohot bhuk lagi hai.. kya hum kisi Café ya restaurant ma baithke aage ka plan discuss kare?

Shiv: Suree.. let's go!! Mujhe bhi bohot bhook lagi haii..

(Karan and Kriti are in the car)

Karan: So..?

Kriti: k.. kya?

Karan: So How was your first day? College accha laga?

Kriti: (in mind: ye achanak se informally kaise baat karne lag gaya?)

Kriti: Good.. accha tha matlab.... I mean.. matlab not very good.. lekin kaafi acchaa..
(In mind: What the hell am I saying?)

Karan: Umm.. are you ok? Kya bol rahi ho?

Kriti: nahi..

Karan: Nahi?

Kriti: nahi.. matlab haa.. I am ok!!
(In mind: this is too awkward.. mujhe gaane sunane haii.. ab ise kaise bolu.. yaar meri bolti kyu band ho jati hai iske saamnee... Ye gaane nahi lagata kya car mein? Kya ho raha hai yaar.. kya karuu?)

Karan: Kya hua? Tum thik to ho na? Kuch soch rahi ho?

Kriti: ha.. ha mai.. mai bilkul thik hu.. perfectly.. I.. I mean perfectly fine..

Karan: Mujhe bata rahi ho ya apne aap ko? (Giggles) Anyways.. kuch kehna chahti ho? I mean Itni lost kyu ho?

Kriti: ha.. haa.. wo actually.. music.. mujhe gaane sunane the.. to bass.. matlab soch rahi thi.. but if you don't want koi jaroorat nahi hai matlab..

Karan: Relax Kritii.. Music mein itna sochne wali kaunsi baat hai? Ye raha music player.. chala do na.. you can play whatever you want.. bass nervous hona band karo and stay with me!

Kriti: Whattt?

(He realises he said something wrong)

Karan: nahi.. nahii.. mera matlab kuch aur thaa.. I meant aise lost mat raho.. matlab stay in present.. hosh mein raho!! Waise.. stay with me.. present mein.. in this moment..

Kriti: ooh.. accha.. accha ok! Sorry..

Karan: Sorry kyu?

Kriti: wo.. mai lost thi is.. isliye..

Karan: (laughs) You are soo cute!!

(He keeps laughing, she smiles looking at him and the drive continues. Meanwhile, Shiv takes Khushi to a Café)

Shiv: kya logi khane ke liye?

Khushi: French fries and cold coffee

Shiv: Okk.. mai order place karke aata hu..

(Shiv orders food and comes back)

Khushi: kuch socha kya kar sakte hai hum?

Shiv: nahi yaar.. tumne?

Khushi: not really... Kuch samajh hi nahi aa rahaa..

(Shiv's phone rings and name flashes "Jannu ❤️". He picks it up)

Shiv: Jannu hi hai.. speaker pe dalta hu..

Janvi: socha kuch?

Shiv: Nahi yaar.. Khushi bhi yahi hai.. soch rahe hai hum..

Janvi: Tum Khushi ke saath? Kaise?

Khushi: Hii dii.. wo actually Karan aur Kriti ko thoda akele mein time dene ke liye mai college mein hi ruk gayi bahana banake aur unko bhej diya gharpe.. Shiv thodi der mein ghar drop karne wala hai..
