Radhika was looking at stars when Dev came from behind giving her a bang...
Radhika looked at Dev expression less and asked "what happened man?"
Dev: U know what happened today mng..
Radhika:How can I ? I didn't come to college , I went on some other work, and I don't have divine vision to know what happened in my absence.
Dev: Okay listen !! Dev Nath will be the hero of a play, in the next upcoming Intercollege festival
Radhika looked at Dev shocked... "How does this happened. "
Dev: Well Viraat bhai hain na, vo mere paas aakar karne ko kaha... and as usual very passionate of theatre I accepted.
Radhika smiled remembering words of Viraat... "I will get u doing it at one or other cost. But U only will do it. See u"
Dev seeing a silent Radhika snapped in front of her, asking her what happened.
Radhika nodded her head saying nothing...
Dev: Radhika, I thought u are angry on me.
Radhika:Why would I be?
Dev remained silent... he felt Radhika may feel bad, because there's going to be some other beside him. But Radhika didn't think like that.
Radhika: Common Dev, i remained silent even when I know u are going out with Soumya. then why would I feel bad now.
Dev looked at Radhika amused and said "Which type are u Radhs"
Radhika signalled to her heart and said " Whatever I has here, I will split it off... I can't hide things... "
Dev shooked her head off when he asked her " why did u tell lies"
Radhika looked at Dev and said " may be some times, I feel nice to live in a sweet lie than a bitter truth"
Dev: but one or other day u has to face it.
Radhika: What I care for is today, and I try by hook and crook to make it happy... when it comes that day I has to cry any way, why to cry from now it self
Dev: U are a difficult person to understand.
Radhika: I amn't perfect Dev., I do many mistakes, but I never blame others, I blame my self, and hold my self responsible... I value friendship and I will go to any extent for it.
Dev: Thats why u said lie about me.
Radhika: I told u already how it happened, if u doesn't believe I can't help. haaan but I lied u that I didn't remember u. I did that so that I can have ur friendship, atleast can't face ur wrath for some time.
Dev; Then why are u lying about Viraat bhai..
Radhika:Excuse me...
Dev: Tum vun se pyaar karti ho na..
Radhika: can I ask u what made u feel that/
Dev: U both can understand others feelings well, words doesn't need between u, and to day for true... u both are mirrors in personalities... every thing coincides between u both, ur way of thinking, ur way of speaking every thing. And when he gets the pain u can feel it, and he can understand ur face, wiht out u saying any thing. whats all this Radhs////
Radhika smiled and said : Dev, u know what, there is a border line between Love and friendship.., a lover can be a best friend, but a best friend can't be a lover. when u understand that difference, u only will know whats Virat to me.
Dev looked at Radhika and Radhika continued to look at stars...
Dev:Kisko dhoondh rahi ho.
Radhika: mere maa ko..
Dev: Radhika, tum kabhi bhi apni maa ka naam kyun nahi batati ho
Radhika: May be I fear that, I am not even eligible to speak her name. she's as pure as Sita
Dev: Apni papa ke baarein mein kabhi batati nahi kyun.
Radhika looked at Dev and gave a smile and said " Dev, kal humein exam hain. jaao jaakar so jaao"
Dev:Means u doesn't want to say
Radhika:Haan
Dev: Rohan ka kuch pata hain tujhe,wo aaj kal ke din online may be nahi aa rahe hain
Radhika:No... Rohan ka kuch bhi pata nahi hain humein. any way i need to sleep u go...
Dev leaned towards her and went towards her ear,. Radhika doesn't understand what he was doing. But Dev immediately shouted in her ear "Good night" making Radhika fumble./
Radhika:Dev... I just wanna kill u.
Dev: u can't ., Kuch jyaada hi serious baatein kiya na, isliye thoda sa maja vuthaya. any way gud nyt.
As Dev left Radhika watched at him smiling and went in closing the door of the balcony. But the thing they doesn't knew was, some other person heard their convo from upstairs.

As Radhika went to college, he got a message from Virat stating to meet him at the auditorium. Radhika excused her self from Dev and left to the auditorium . As she went there she saw him sitting there at the arch on a stone table.
Radhika smiled to him and as he saw Radhika he stood up wishing her "Gud mng princess"
Radhika frowned and asked " What made u call me Princess sir."
Virat: In deed thats what u are.
radhika:I don't have any relation with that family, or their being. then in what way do I become a princess. any way, I guess u think that one should be given a title based on their worth than their birth . right,.
Virat smiled and said "I didn't call u princess,because u are born in some royal clan. But U called u lyk that because u are a princess by heart,mind and soul
Radhika looked at him stunned and was remembering her mom's words "I call u a princess, not because of ur clan, but because u are a one by hearft, soul and mind"
Virat looked at her confused and snapped his finger infront of her asking wat happened, to get a shook from her.
Radhika:Thanks
Virat: I said u na, that I will get u into the casting by hook or crook
Radhika smiled and said 'Truly, I don't know how to act"
Virat:Indeed I too doesn't need acting
Radhika frowned at him and he said " I need u here, because its ur story"
Radhika looked at him shocked. Virat added,, "Its my story which I am doing as a play, and indeed it correlates with urs to some extent. so I want u to do this"
Radhika:But , why do u think to select it.
Virat:I don't know... I just wanna do it.
Radhika:Can u narrate me in brief of ur story...
Virat sighed..

Radhika was sitting at her usual place in the park, when she heard a fa,iliar voice caling her name with a tired ness in his voice. Radhika turned back to see Dev coming towards her running. Dev came to Radhika and handled her a rose. Radhika looked at him...
Dev guestured her as if to take it, and Radhika took it silently and then said "Do u know what a white rose means"
Dev:haan, white rose meant for pure friendship and sacrfice'
Radhika was about to say something when he only continued "When I gave u a white rose, I mean it completely"
Radhika smiled and looked at the horizon...
Dev:So congratulations my dear heroine.
Radhika smiled and said "Congrats Mr.Hero"
Dev: So any whereabouts regard to story
Radhika looked at Dev and said " Dev, please try to know about the story near Virat sir. I truly doubt u to accept to do this."
Dev:Kyun
Radhika;Its a sad love story
Dev: So what...
Radhika: Dev, why a person never gets what they want. why the fate always plays with them, especially in cases of luvd ones.
Dev looked at Radhika, he knows well that she was talking about them both. But he doesn't understand why she took it all of a sudden now. Dev can see Radhika was upset, he can read it clearly but why?> What ever was the reason , he has to sooth her, he finally passed his hand from her back and hugged her from side. Radhika was indeed shocke by his gesture, but she badly needs an arm for solace. She rested her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes.
Dev:Now tell me what happened.
Radhika: I thought that I am the only unlucky person, but today I recognised that my friends are more unluvky than me.
Dev: So what happene with Virat bhai, di he got upset for any thing.
Radhika : The story that we do now is his story... and for sure its not a gud story, its a sad story
Dev: So u were crying for ur friend
Radhika: Yes...
Dev took her face into his arms and made her look at him.. she has tears in her eyes, Dev kissed off those tears and said "No... I never wanna see u crying"
Radhika felt surprised at Dev's sudden gesture... she wanted to confirm herslef that it was truth, not some beautiful dream she was seeing.. She looked at him, and he was gazing her intently. Radhika felt tears coming from her eyes... at that moment she did a thing, she never imagined herself to do. She hugged him tightly and cried over...
Dev who was at first startled by her gesture later let her cry overm because she want her to throw off all her depression. He know some where he was losing out his heart, and indeed he liked it and le it be lyk that.
Virat who came there actually to take Radhika home as he promised, happened to see them and looking at them with a smile he left off from there
Both of them remained lyk that for time unknown, when Dev asked her "Radhika, won't we leave for home"
Radhika hugging him more tightly said "Can we stay here, lyk this for some more time'
Dev smiled and nodded... but then Radhika remembered that she asked Virat to take her home. She immediately came out and took her phone and dialed for Virat...
Radhika :Hello sir,,, I am sorry...
Virat smiled and said "Its okay ... I saw u people... so decided not to disturb u"
Radhika felt herself embarassed
Virat:Okay enuf of embarassment.. any way, will u please go with Dev.. I had some work to attend with
Radhika smiled and nodded...
Virat:If u nod , how will I know.
Radhika:U knowed it na any way, see u,

Radhika looked at Dev who have a questioning look on his face.. Radhika understood what she did ryt now , but she was sure that she saw e love in hie eyes. she looked at his face, he was just casual and stood up saying "Shall we go home?"
Radhika nodded and they left to home..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Days are passing by...
Every one are busy in their work . Ruby-Rohan and Maanvi are practising for their play. While Radev are here studying well... and were a bit serious because of their exams. But they get to know each other well, and Dev was now well understanding with the relationship of Radhika-Virat. He understood what Virat was for Radhika. Radhika was happy except that he was missing Rohan so much,, .. but was very tensed about her exams...
As exams completed... They had a good relief and then one sunday...
Dev was feeling bored as Chaya,hari,Pari and birju left off to a picnic , they asked for Dev but he simply denied preferring his loneliness.
He feeling bored left for Radhikas appartment, when he saw her struggling with something. When he tried to peek in then he found that she was having injury all over her body and was with bruises on her left hand, left leg, and on back too.. Dev felt his blood boiling seeing her like this. At the same time Radhika felt some one looking at her, she turned back to find Dev standing there... Radhika by seeing Dev's face can understand that he was angry for seeing her like this. Before she could speak of any thign Dev came to her and shouted on her "What did u do to urself
Radhika:Well I fall of while elarning scooty
Dev: Why the hell did u try to learn it, when u doesn't even know how to ride a bicycle.
Radhika:But...
Dev doesn't let her speak and angrily shouted on her... Radhika looked at him angrily and moved off into her room, limping her leg, trying to bolt it. But Dev reached before she bolt the door, and said her 'Now u go to wash room... and first of call bath, i will have some clothes and first aid kit for u" Haan but keep the door half open
Radhika looked at Dev gasping, 'what does he think of him self. He want her to left her washroom door open"
Dev:What, go...
Radhika too terrified to ask him anything, left in and onned the shower tap with her clothes on, and let the water flow through out her body. She was gettiing angry on Dev for scolding her, but she smiled to herself remembering his concern. But what she was thinkign to herself is how he will change her dress with out touchign the wound on her back, which is more painful . She was startled by a touch of some hand while she was in her thoughts. she turned back to find Dev stading there with scissors. Radhika looked at him and immediately turned off the shower to prevent him from getting wet. Dev with a serious tone "Why did u turn off the shower"
Radhika looked at him like a kid and Dev turned on the know of the shower and then immediately cut the part of her dress on her back, at her waist and at her kneews where there are injuries, exposing the wounds. Radhika looked at him and said she can do it, but he resisted her saying he will do it, and then as he felt he got direct water contact over all the wounds of her body, he came out saying her about where he kept the towel..
Radhika after letting the water to pour over her wounds for some more time, came out draping herself in the towel. Then he saw Dev coming in closing her eyes. Radhika was shcoked "Dev"
Dev:Listen, Now I will drss ur wounds and then help u wear ur dress... I promise u all the time I will keep my eyes closed,
Radhika widened her eyes in terror...
