bachelor.. A girl entered the class in white color chudidar with
black jet hair straight hair at up n curly at end with dimple
smile that caught our hero's eye.. She once glanced all
around the class n he saw a pair of dark brown eyes n pink
color glossed plump lips.. She saw the people she was looking
for n passed them smile n went to them.. She greeted them
settled with them.. He was about to approach them when
their lecturer entered n she greeted him with her sweet smile n
they had class.. After class too she had a little talk with
lecturer n he got to know she was studying in that college
from previously but was absent for 1 month due to personal
problems.. He was close to her group members as they had
helped him n his friends previously when they were new
comers n had made them comfortable.. He along with his
friend keshav went to them n talked with them casually.. He
was frequently looking at her whereas she was busy making
notes of her subjects as she was not in beginning of session..
When her friend nudged her then she noticed them.. She
forwarded her hand n said, 'hi i am riya mukherjee n u??' he
was goner listening to her sweet voice n staring at her but
recovered n said, ' i'm arjun raute.. Nice to meet u..' she
smiled n said, 'same here.. Excuse me i will speak to u later..
Got to make notes..' n resume her work.. Arjun was finding
her different from the girls he usually met.. He thought her to
be introvert.. N resume talking to her friends.. She went out
as she got a call from her friend.. He said to punam, 'yar yeh
kitni kam bolti hai, attitude aur arrogance bohot hai ismein.. I
thought tumhari friend hai toh tum logo jaisi frank aur friendly
hogi magar yeh toh..' punam replied, 'nahi yar aisa kuch nahi
hai.. Yeh dost bohot jald banati hai.. Pehle din woh dost ko
pehchanti hai fir woh kal se humse jyada frank aur friendly
lagne lagegi tumko dekh lena..' arjun too said in attitude,
'dekh lenge tumhari friend ko.. Lagi shart she will remain
same.. Agar hare to tumhari treat aur hum haare toh humari
treat tumhari friend k sath.. Deal..' n punam accepted n said,
' dekhna har jaoge.. Woh apne class main hi nahi senior aur
junior class mein bhi dost bana leti hai.. Woh jaha jae waha
uska dost ban jata hai.. Har jaoge abhi keh rahi hu.. Shart
bhul jao kangal ho jaoge..' n arjun in attitude, 'shart harna
arjun ne sikha nahi agar har gaya toh paise ki koi chinta nahi,
samjhi.. Ya samjhau..' (hehehehe i love this dialogue..) she
came back n again did her notes n chatted with her friends n
got introduced with others too.. She also gave them sweet
smile n had small talk.. Arjun had went away when she
entered class n watching jer interacting with others.. Her smile
was the most beautiful thing he got attracted towards.. She
later went canteen with her friends n had her snacks with
them.. Later class got over.. On the way to home he was only
thinking about her.. But later slapped himself for getting lost in
her.. He was thinking what will happen tomorrow.. Next day
he got ready in blue shirt with black jeans n went to college n
as usual greeted everyone n was sitting in first bench when
she entered class dressed in combo of pink n blue chuddidar
kurta.. He was amazed to see the coincidence of their
matching dress n bawled by her beauty.. She came to class
with all the girls she got introduced n laughing at their jokes n
teasing n pulling their legs too.. Punam was on her right side
n gave him 'look i told u look'.. For the first time he lost a bet
n he didn't mind.. She came near to him n said, 'hey arjun
right, sorry for yesterday actually it's kind of my habbit to not
to talk with someone freely from the day i meet them so u
may have found it rude.. So sorry for that..' he smiled n said,
'it's ok..' n chatted with her n he also introduced her to his
bestfriend bhawana n she clicked with her soon too.. She was
really frank n ready to help anyone.. He found her sweet,
innocent n friendly.. She hardly fought with anyone rather
sometimes she has to play a refree among her friends.. They
say na if one is fire other should be ice in any relation.. She
was working as a ice in any heated situation n sometimes he
felt she is too good to others but she didm't bother n let it
happen.. He was shocked how can someone be so much
patient.. He admired her for that.. He always flirt with her n
she would fake flaring up n glare at him n later would burst
out laughing.. He jokingly proposed her but she rejects him n
would crib about him.. Many times he would embarass her
infront of seniors proposing her n she would reject.. She would
be teased by her friends for it n they would say her to accept
it but she keeps rejecting him.. She knew he always flirt with
her n was not serious about it.. Arjun knew he was just joking
but he was amazed to see her less affected by him.. He was a
charmer any girl would be affected by his talks but she was
different.. He was growing feeling for her n he was affected by
her.. They exchanged numbers n whenever they were free,
they would chat with each other.. One day he was talking with
her when keshav came in his room n he ignored n chatted half
an hour with her.. When he hung up, keshav said, 'u'r
changing dude.. Jabse riya ayi hai teri jindagi main tu badal
gaya hai.. Tu apne friends k sath time spend nahi karta.. Ek
ladki ne hamari dosti mein darar daldi..' arjun said, 'nahi aisa
nahi hai yar.. Sorry tum log se baat nahi kiya but usme riya ki
koi galti nahi hai..' he tried to convince his friend but argued
with him.. His mood got off..
Next day he was early in college n he was manofying keshav
so he was quiet upset n atlast keshav said, 'aj k baad aise
nahi karega tu samjha na..' n hugged him.. At the same time,
riya entered n saw how upset arjun was, so she went upto
him n tried to talk when keshav rudely said, 'usko tumhari
jaroorat nahi.. Uske liye hum hai na..' though riya was hurt by
his word but one look at arjun n she knew arjun was not in
mood to talk n decided to talk to him later.. Shr kept stealing
glances of him whether he is fine or not but he never looked
at her.. She thought maybe tensed about something serious..
Arjun was only thinking about her n wanted to see her once
but controlled.. He knew she was watching him but didn't
turn.. It followed many days but she didn't gave up on trying
to talk to him.. One day he got frustrated due to her frequent
tries n blast off saying, ' baat nahi kar raha toh ek baar mein
samajh nahi ata tumhare, mujhe tumse baat karne mein koi
dilchaspi nahi hai.. Kan kholke sun lo main tumse dur rehna
chahta hu samjhi ya samjhau..' that did it.. It hurted her a
lot.. She had tears in her eyes.. She had come close to him
only among boys.. She liked his every antics, his childishness,
his stubborness, his relations with his friends n brother,
everything.. Somewhere she come to like him.. She was trying
to come in terms of her feelings n trying to know him more..
She liked it when he flirted with her, irritated her, proposed her
though fake.. Whenever he got sick she got worried and
offered him notes he needed though he never asked.. All the
moments they were together flashed infront of her.. She
turned away n wiped her tears n said, 'thik hai agar tumhe
baat nahi karni toh na sahi ab main vi tum se baat nahi
karungi.. Sorry galti ho gayi jo tumse baat karne chali ayi..
Laga tum problem mein ho to help kardu.. Sorry maine galti
kardi yaha aa kar tumse baat karke.. N thank u so much
mujhe samjhane k liye meri jagah tumhari life mein.. N be
happy ab se mein tumhare raste mein kavi nahi guzrungi.. Bye
n have a nice life ahead..' n went away crying n here arjun too
cried silently.. He didn't show infront of her but when he hurt
her he himself felt hurt.. Keshav was mute expectator of this..
He felt bad for being the reason for their pain but he became
selfish.. She didn't came for class later.. Her friends said she
went back home as she had some urgent work n asked her
uncle for leave n went home.. He was aloof whole day.. He
only answeref when asked.. Everyone noticed this but didn't
questioned..
Riya didn't come college for few more days n he was
restless.. He thought he went overboard.. He would always
wait for her to come just for one glance but it continued.. One
day she came college in white kurti with white leggins n a red
shawl.. She was looking pale n gloomy.. He knew he was the
cause of it.. She would rarely smile n laugh.. She talks less
than before.. He had started to distance himself from his
friends n sit in class.. He was behaving like lifeless body
whose soul was missing n it was true.. His soul riya was
away from him.. He smiled less n interacted less too..
