Benji to Samrat "waise let me go n greet my princess. Meri baahen aur meri aankhen dono uske ek sparsh aur ek nazar ke liye taras rahi hain."

Just then Dia spots Benji and passes a magnetic smile in his direction when their eyes lock registering each others presence

Benji "awwwww god this diva will be d death of me. Excuse me guys, let me go n hug my life. I will be right back"

Samrat stops him with a hand on his shoulder "dude the advice u gave me sumtime back needs to be repeated for u. Don't forget the mission we are here to achieve"

Benji blushing slightly "Cmon samrat, Dia is on our side. She's Mayank's friend more than nupur's"

Samat "really now y do I doubt that? take it from me dude….u r gonna get the shock of ur life"

Benji "oh come on Sammy….dia will always be on the side I am. U just chill"

scene shifts to girls

Gunjan "Dia be careful. All these guys will target you coz u r their friend and Benji's GF, so don't let them sweet talk u into anything"

Dia "relax babes, they don't know me if they think they have had it easy with me. Today my only goal is to become rich and that too only with Mayank's money (with a funny smile😛) and whoever comes in the way is done for, even if its benji (mock angrily ) and blows off her flip that's falling on her eyes as if trying to blow the guys away lterally.😆

Benji enveloping dia in a tight n loving hug "hi sweetheart….god u look so beautiful…my own princess"

Dia 😳"how sweet benji, u r always soo nice to me" n hugs him sweetly

Benji "u know ,wat sweetheart samrat thinks u r on d girls side for all ceremonies today. I think he has taken leave of his senses. How can my Princess not be on my side"

Dia" Oh my god benji, really and now y wud I be on ur side"😲

Benji "well u r my gf nd u need to support me"

Dia "really then y don't u do one thing , hand over mayank's shoes and I wont leave ur side till d night gets over and will support u in all ways possible (this she says in a husky tone with a finger tracing benji's cheeks slowly)

Benji is electrified by dia's touch and at the same time realizes that samrat was right all along. Dia was not going to support him in this one "oh wish I cud princess but yeh hum ladkon ki izzat ka sawal hai"🥱

Dia "oh really, well small bit of advice to u as a caring gf benji, goes near his ears n when benji is anticipating some coochy cooing words dia screams "wake up benji, coz aaj tum sab ki izzat neelam hone jaa rahi hai"

N before Benji can jerk himself out of the shock😲 of dia's scream, Dia storms off from the place leaving a poor benji rubbing his ears and trying to come out of the shock only to be consoled by a comforting hand on his shoulder by samrat and an eye glance telling the "i-told-u-so-story"

Well all the girls huddle up in a corner and discuss the latest news brought by neetha of their gang

But before that let's see wat neetha managed to uncover😎

Mayank and Benji r worried that Uday is going to give them away by his restless gestures

Mayank "Benji mujhe lagta hai ki aaj uday mujhe kangaal karke chodega. Woh khud ladkiyon ko dikhadega ki usne mere joothe apne jhooton ke updar pahen rakha hai, yeh khud unhe dikha dega

Benji "I know mayank, but chill dude, use apne discomfort se zyada apne rasgullon se pyar hai toh he wont let us down😛

A girl listening to their talk from distance nods her head n smirks in a victorious manner and approaches mayank n benji sweetly and introduces herself as Nupur's friend, Neetha

Neetha"jeeju, yeh lijiye aapke ke liye khaas welcome drink,

n then turning towards benji's direction, "aap bhi lijiye na" Benji picks up one glass

Neetha continues with a innocent smile but impish look in her eyes"waise bhi aaj aapko iski bahut zaroorat hai, aapke paseene jo chootne wale hain aaj ki raat"

Both choke on their drinks n look up in surprise towards this girl neetha

Neetha quickly corrects herself "I mean aaj aap logon ko shaadi ke liye itne saare kaam jo karne padenge aur upar se baga daudi. Neways mai chalti hun.

Neetha "Jijjjajji all the best aur aapke doston ko bi, with a common wink😉 in their direction she leaves the place.

Mayank and Benji gawk at the disappearing figure and then at each other and they rhyme in chorus..."nah"

Benji " She would not have heard us , she was just kind of warning us "

Mayank "I hope so dude. I hope na hi usne hamari baaten suni ho aur nahi usne uday ka discomfort note kiya warna toh aaj tum sab gaye" n suddenly something else strikes him n asks Benji "waise benji tum kisi neetha ko jaante ho kya,

Benji surprised by this sudden question "no dude ….kyun pooch rahe ho"

Mayank "nahi matlab tumhari koi purani dost ya jaan pehchan wali koi ladki"

Benji now wondering where all this inquisition is leading to "nahi dude baat kya hai…seedhi tarah se batao na"

Mayank now embarrassed tries to cover up lying blatantly "nahi bas aise hi…woh mujhe laga when u heard neetha's name few minutes back u reacted as if u knew someone by that name"

Benji nods his head knowing he never gave any such reaction but something suddenly strikes him as well "dude neetha ka toh pata nahi, haan but I used to know a girl called parineetha.

Benji continues in a sad tone. She was a very sweet friend of mine n samrat. Infact it was samrat who used to call her neetha. He used to joke saying "parineetha sounds so old fashioned n aged but neetha suited her more, just like her soft and sweet demeanor

Mayank now all engrossed "oh so samrat also knew her"

Benji "haan since she was in d same class as us n she was my friend, even samrat knew her. But u know samrat he never gives weight-age to anyone more than a few words here and there but parineetha used to like him a lot coz just like me she was able to see beyond the surface of his rough n tough attitude"

Mayank "used to means….y she doesn't like him anymore"

Benji recalling all that , that had been in their past n with misty n wet eyes, smiles sadly, her last memory is still as fresh as possible n continues "no dude she cannot like anyone anymore. She died long time ago. The day we completed our class 12, we met her for d last time. She got transferred to Bangalore and she had come to say her final bye but we never knew it was literally a goodbye.

Benji continues "Seems ironic but her face was troubled so much as if anticipating what was going to happen to her that day. She smiled only for our sake, but the pain of separation for that sweet and gentle soul was too much to handle. You know she was such a gentle character ki agar woh tumhe daanti bhi toh tumhe lagta ki woh pyaar se bol rahi hai. Very sweet and timid but always smiling which was her best aspect coz it used to lift everyone's spirit. Saying so benji gets lost in her memory n mayank's word after a whole minute of silence bring him back to reality

Mayank keeps a hand on his shoulder trying to share this sad painful past of his friend"what happened, how did she die?"

Benji angered now at that reminder n the ill fate of hers "After saying a final bye to us, she was going back home on her kinetic Honda. She looked terribly upset but that's to be expected coz she was leaving behind all her friends and it didn't help when a bloody drunk car driver had a head on collision with her . We heard she tried to avert d accident but d driver took her by surprise and she incurred severe head injury and had heavy loss of blood.

Benji "You know she's always a careful person but that day it was her fate that inspite of having a helmet she didn't wear it and after two traumatic days in hospital she finally left us all, to rest in peace, a word that's so synonymous to her.😭

Benji takes a deep sigh n not wanting to spoil Mayank's mood says "anyways its all in the d past. She will always live in our heart. Lets not think or talk anymore about it. Today is ur big day, we need to celebrate that n only that" wih a bright smile😊

Mayank hugs Benji tightly as if trying to ease some of his pain that got opened due to their convo and also for being such a giving n loving friend to all of them and thinks to himself "there is so much that probably even benji doesn't know"
