Library...
Gunjan tries to take a book from the shelf.She feels that somebody is pulling it from the other side.But somehow she grabs it.Through the space in the shelf she sees the smiling face of Samrat.
S:Gunjan..that's your name.Right?I had heard your name.I lied that i did'nt hear it to tease you.
S:You are an Anglo Indian.Right?You look like a typical Angle Indian.Behaviour also...
G:Who told you that I'm an Anglo Indian?
S:I came to know that very easily.
Gunjan goes away with the book.But in between she turns back and looks at the smiling Samrat.
Gunjan's neighbour Vinu's; a ten year old boy distracts Gunjan while reading.
V:Gunjan didi..please do you favour for me.I and my friends were playing with a ball.It fell on our new neighbour's compund.Can you please go and take it.
G;What?I can't.I don't know who the new neighbour is.
Vinu pleads:PLease...
Gunjan goes to the neighbouring house's compound.She does'nt see any ball there.
G:Did he fool me?
She turns back to go back.
Suddenly Samrat comes out of the house:Don't you need the ball?
Gunjan turns back and is shocked to see him.
He throws the ball.Gunjan catches it.
S:I will always be there to catch the ball if you throw it here.Don't worry about losing the ball.If you don't come here,i will come to your house and give it.Since we are new here,we could'nt meet all the neighbours.But i could meet you in the library itself.I was so happy when i found you playing with kids..i was so happy when i realized that you are my neighbour.Seeing your mom in frock i realized that you are an Anglo Indian girl.
G:I'm not an Anglo Indian.
She runs away.
Gunjan with Diya and Bindhya.
G:I can't sing for the function.The guys always writes love letters for me when i sing.I always end up slapping them.So Roy bhaiyya told me not to sing.
D:Stupid decision.
B:Do you know who is going to sing instead of you?The handsome new comer Samrat.
G:Samrat?He can sing?
She giggles.
Gunjan goes to the canteen to meet Samrat.He is excited that Gunjan has come to see him.
G;I heard that you are going to sing for the college function.
S:Yes.
G:Can you sing for me?
S:Sure.
Samrat sings horribly.Gunjan and others laugh.Samrat is embarassed.
G:If you sing like this,everyone will hoot at you.
Samrat is embarassed.
College function...
Samrat sings looking at Gunjan as if the girl he sings about is her.
'Aao sunao pyar ki ek kahani,
ek tha ladka ek thi ladki deewani,
hoooo hoooo, hoooo hoooo, hoooo hoooo
aao sunao pyar ki ek kahani,
ek tha ladka ek thi ladki deewani,
hoooo hoooo, hoooo hoooo, hoooo hoooo
woh bhi hasne lagi thi, yeh bhi hasne laga tha,
dono samjhe nahi the woh joh hone laga tha,
aao sunao pyar ki ek kahani..'{Krish}.
Gunjan can't believe it.Because Samrat sang it very beautifully.
Gunjan is taking books from the library.Samrat is near to him.
S:During our first meeting you told me that i need to read books.I remember that very well.Actually that day i got into the library to take books for a time pass.But now i take reading seriously.You only changed me.
Suddenly Gunjan's face becomes serious:You sang horribly purposefully to tease me.Right?I teased you a lot.Sorry.
S:No no.It was just a voice test.
He smiles.Gunjan also smiles.
Gunjan with Diya and Bindhya..
D:Today is your birthday and you are looking so dull.
Her eyes become wet.
G:Yes.I'm supposed to be happy today.But...On my eight birthday my father left me here and went to London.From then i have been living with my dad's best friend Fernandus Uncle and family.I'm grateful to them for showering so much of love on me.Many people think that i'm an Anglo Indian since i'm brought by Anglo Indians.Nobody knows that i'm Mr.Rishab Bajaj's daughter.Everyone thinks that i'm a modern girl who is just enjoying the life without no worries.Some people tease me for visiting temples.
D:You dad loves you.I'm sure.
G:He sends a gift on every birthday.But though i cried a lot he went to London.Still i wait for his come back.Since my dad left me on my birthday i'm not interested to celebrate my birthday.
She wipes her tears.
Samrat comes:Hi girls.What's the serious conversation?Can i join you girls?
D:Today is Gunjan's birthday.
S:Really?Happy birthday Gunjan.
She smiles slightly.
S:Shall we celebrate your birthday?
Gunjan goes away without any response.
Samrat becomes dull:What happened to Gunjan?
Samrat goes near Gunjan.
S:Do you think i'm a desturbance for you?
G:Why?
S:You don't like me joining your birthday celebration.Right?
G:That is because i'm not interested in birthday celebration.
S:So you are not angry with me?
G:Why should i be angry with you?I have no personal grudge towards you.
S:Sure?
She keeps her arm on his palm:I swear..
They both look at each other's eyes.
She takes her arm back.
S:Why are you not interested in celebrations?Usually you are not like this.
G:I'm not interested in birthday celebration.That's all.
S:Why?Since we have become so close to each other can't you tell the reason to me?
G:Close to each other?
S:Ya..i mean..we are not only college mates,but also neighbours.Anyways you tell me the reason.
G:Ok.
She goes close to him:I will not say.
She runs away grinning at him.He smiles.
