A: fine........It was my first day of medical school, i was sitting right their with my gang when i saw this girl wearing, churidaar, coming towards us, even though she was wearing these big glasses and her hair tied into a phonytail she still looked like an angel...my angel.....She came towards me and asked "can you please tell me wherE room 233 is ..i'm new"...and since i was with my friends i told her the wrong directions, but then we met in class, because i hit my basketball on her head causing her glasses to fall and there it was that magical moment, you couldn't even imagine the most beautiful eyes big light brown glistering eyes looking at me angrily and there i was just staring at her and smiling like an idiot, Then we were assigned to be project partner, she acted like she was in hell always shouting and being rude with me but one day she was leaving the library and it was pretty late so i asked if i could drop, her, and she being stubborn just like you refused but i still followed. I saw that there were guys teasing and scaring her ans i helped and then we became friends and then we fell in love...but her parents refused to her seeing me so we got married, and the we had you my princess(by the time he finished he had tears in his eyes)...ria i love her.....why did she leave me.

A: nupur i know your right but i need sometime.....

Ri: come on nupur bhabi spill it...what are hiding from us...

Ria/pari: wow....india....cool...vacation(both high five each other)
Ar: what?
N: haan bhaiya ...the company presented mayank with this surprise...isn't it cool..
Ar: not bad ....i think it's a good idea
While everyone was happy about this trip arima was shocked,afraid and scared, she just wished that this trip wouldn't make her come to face to her biggest fear....ahbi...she only left india to get away from ahbi.....she has this frightful look which didn't go unnoticed by arman...he was confused as to what was wrong with her and why did she look so scared after hearing about going to india...
Ar: um....arima are you okay
A: (joltted by the question)....huh....yea...i'm fine(smiles and gets up to leave the table but her head starts tospin really hard and and falls on the sofa)
Ar: arima...(runs to her)
Shocked by arman and the sudden shout everyone noticed arima unconcious on the sofa, they all ran to her while mayank called the doctor.
Ar: arima...arima(rubs her hands)...open your eyes....
Ri: dad...is she okay...(feels arima head)...she is warm....
Gu: maybe she is sick....
Nu: mayank called doctor she is coming......
Arman/Arima Room...
M: doctor...is she okay.....
Doctor: yea she is fine...
Ar: then why did she faint...
Doctor: she was too stressed...
Gu: umm....doctor...is there anything we can do?
M: wait...doctor...could please explain what you're trying to say?
Doctor: well its just that she had to much stress and then some news made it impossible for her to think anymore and she fainted .....(hoping someone would understand)
Ar: so she is perfectly fine right.....(hoping nothing was wrong with her)
Doctor: Mr Malik she is perfectly fine...i'll write down some medicens just make sure she takes that daily and also make sure no more stress ....
Everyone is the room was happy that she was fine but somewhere felt guilty that all of them were busy with their own thing that they forgot her .......
Ar: okay thank-you doctor!
Doctor: you welcome...now i should take a leave
M: i'll walk you out
Doctor: okay lets go.
Mayank came back and told everyone to start packing.....While arman decided it was best if he stayed back with arima until she got better and then he would join them.......Everyone agreed and mayank nupur, gunjan and ria left after two days......
