Parking Lot, Mount College.

Piya , having left Sam, Misha and Zeenia to sort out their banter came looking for Abhay in the parking lot as she had sighted him going in there. She had no idea that right now, while Misha was happily making preparations for the dance nite rehearsals in the common room , Sambhav was dealing with T behind closed rooms of a bathroom. Her eyes searched for Abhay and then, she left she was being watched. She spun around and saw Natasha , her elbow on the window of her yellow sportscar and her large car eyes grinning evilly at her , her beautiful chocolate brown mane glistening in the sun and her red lips pouting in a ridiculing manner on her walnut skin. Piya's facial muscles harden on seeing Natasha.

Piya ( bitterly )- Are you stalking me, Natasha? What is the meaning of giving me those looks?

Natasha ( tilts her head )- Aha, look who is talking about stalking? I am just enjoying this sight of you stalking Abhay…. Oops… I meant Maithli's Abhay. She is not going to like it , you know.

Piya ( tosses her curly hair angrily )- She can go to hell, Natasha , taking you with her , of course. She can make spells and you can drink her blood. Happily ever after, right?... ( holds up her hand )… and please , I am least bit interested in talking to you. Go and attend your lectures , might help your less than 25% attendance .

Just then, a man suddenly comes and stands in between them. Tall, masculine , broad , bringing his signature cinnamon and balsam fragrance with him.Piya is relieved. Abhay! Natasha's grin disappears and her cattiness darkens as she narrows her eyebrows at him.

Natasha – Abhay? Since when did you start watching seasons of Gossip Girl? Butting in between?

Abhay ( sniggers at her )- Bitch, please……( looks back at Piya and then at her )… shame on you. Trying to scare kids like that. Just back off and leave her alone. And don't you worry about Maithli. She would only be too glad that am keeping Piya away from the manicured talons of the likes of you!

Natasha ( gritting her teeth )- Whatever Blackie!

And Natasha just zooms out of the parking lot. Piya watches her disappear like a gust of wind and Abhay turns towards her. He puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder and looks at her softly through his ice blue eyes, his mouth curving in a caring expression.

Abhay ( sweetly )- You okay? Keep distance from Natzie. She is a sophisticated leech with gallons of Bolshva evil.

Piya ( smiles and points to her wrist where the amber stones are looking like fairy lights )- You forget, Abhay. The shield protects me. No evil can touch me and nothing can scare me , thanks to Anushka. … ( looks up at him)… I am okay.

Abhay fingers the shield and a small smile comes over his face. Piya smiles at his child-like smile and lowers her eyes , shaking her head.

Abhay ( shakes his head )- Sigh! Do I miss or do I miss Anush! Zeenia gives me hypertension… ( struck)… oh, now I get it. I can't read your mind because of this shield , is it? But, wait a second. You won't know how to block out psychic powers. You are human…..strange. …(laughs)… it is almost like we are connected and you can keep me out!

Piya's face falls when Abhay makes a joke out of him and her being 'connected'. If only he knew , that his joke is the fact. He can't read her because they are connected and she can control his entry into her mind. Piya just gives him a fake smile and changes the subject.

Piya( putting Abhay's hand away from her arm )- Umm..i came looking for you, actually. And ran into that cat.

Abhay ( raising an eye brow )- Me? Why?

Piya ( looking here and there as she twirls her hair around her fingers )- I- I just wanted to know what have you…. ( trying not to look bitter and jealous )…. What have you thought about shifting Maithli into Raichand Mansion? Are you…

Abhay ( looking at the twirling of her curls )- I am not bringing her to my house. You had a point last night. I cannot put Mom, Dad into a tight spot with the center. If me and Maithli are meant to be together , I should trust that…. ( looks at her )… shouldn't I ?

Piya ( looks back at him )- Follow your heart, Abhay. It will not only guide you to the one you love but help you keep there as well.

Abhay blinks his eyes at her and then, nods.

Piya – Did I say something wrong?

Abhay ( shrugs his shoulders as he puts his hand in the interior of his pocket – No, you are right. But its just that … what you just said about 'following my heart' reminded me of something…. ( pulls out a letter)….something that belongs to you.

As soon as Piya looks at the folded paper , her eye brows shoot up and her jaw falls open in surprise . She almost pounces on Abhay and snatches the paper from him , throwing him off the edge.

Abhay ( taken aback )- Whoa! EASY!

Piya opens the letter and tears spring to her eyes , her face flushed a brilliant red-pink and her lips quivering as she runs her hand over the words in the letter.

Piya ( shocked )- What were you doing with this letter? Did you … ( looks at him)…did you read it?

Abhay is shocked at Piya's emotional reaction and for a few seconds , he doesn't know how to react.

Piya ( shouts )- How did you find it? It was supposed to be in my bag!

Abhay ( his eyes stuck on her face )- It was…. You dropped it in my study , last night. I was about to give it back to you.

Piya ( wiping her tears )- Thank you. Thank you so much…. (looks at him)…. Its precious.

Abhay ( looking at the letter )- It is. I understand why. The man , whoever he is… ( finds it difficult to say )…. Loves you very much. You have read it over and over haven't you? The paper is so lined , crumpled, creased. …madness! But the guy sure writes well.

Piya has the letter held to her heart , holding it possessively as she watches Abhay talk about the letter.

Piya ( patting the letter )- Its not just a letter. Its HIM.

Abhay ( blinks his eyes at her in amazement )- You really love him, don't you? Where is he?... ( looking at the poor piece of paper with unrecognized envy )…..who is he?

Piya ( looking deep into his eyes )- No, I don't love him. I heart him…. ( looking away )…. He is here( points to her heart ). He always will be. And … no, you don't need to know who he is.

Abhay feels a strange heaviness creep into his heart when Piya turns away from him , clutching the letter to her heart. He looks disappointed and maybe a tad hurt.

Abhay ( in a jealous pitch )- Do I know him?

Piya ( shakes her head )- No, you don't know him…. Anymore.

Abhay ( puzzled )- Anymore?

Piya ( looks at him)- I mean , you can't know him. He is … he is not here. Gotta go. …

Piya turns to leave but Abhay gently holds her hand and she stops , clenching her fist. She looks back at his tender but disturbed face .

Abhay (not knowing what he is saying )- I will like to know him…. ( looking into her baby browns)…. He must be special. He just has to be. Someone who can put all his heart into such beautiful words…..( recalls)…. Its stuck in my head.

Piya ( softly )- What?

Abhay ( leaving her hand )- My mind might forget you ….but my heart …( feels his throat choke on something )….my heart will always remember you.

Piya is so stung by the intensity in Abhay's voice and that 'something' in his eyes, that she backs away from him and turning on her heels, clutching the letter to her heart , she runs out of the parking lot. Abhay just watches her run off and then, looks down at his hand which had just held Piya's wrist .

Abhay ( closing his fist in subtle jealousy )- Who is he…….
