Kriyaansh FF: Jo bheji thi dua ( PART 3 PG 3) - Page 2

Part 2:

"..And that's it. Maine bhi decide kar liya that I'm gonna fight..." Neeti rambled on to a quiet Kriya. It hadnt been 24 hours since her arrival back into Mumbai, but the gloom had set in. Kriya never knew her true bond with her friends till she left them. Her team, her gang. All those promises of trust. She had broken them all and now all was lost. "Kriya!" she heard Neeti shout a little "Whats wrong with you babe? Jabse yahan aayi ho, itni chup chup si ho. Nervous ho kya? Par nervous to mujhe hona chahiye, tum kyun ho?" she chirped on as Kriya shook her head. Neeti resembled Neha in many ways. Bubbly, chirpy and energetic. To top it all, she was joining the same college too. The only difference was that Neeti was better at English. "Kuch nahi baba," Kriya told her cousin fondly "bas bohut tired hoon. Itna travelling and all, you know?" she covered up her gloom. Neeti shrugged and went to bed thinking of ways to make her first impression at St.Louis. Not that she felt scared. After all, her sister Kriya would be rejoining too. Everything would be alright with her. Kriya thought a little different as she went to bed too.

Rey parked his car with a better mood the next morning. He had danced away all his fury the previous night. "She is gone man" he thought to himself "Its time to forget all that fairytale. Kriya Ghai is just trouble and I have quite a lot of trouble already. Ab mujhe Taani par concentrate karna chahiye. She needs more attention for all her attempts." he thought as he saw Taani walk into the college. He liked Taani, there was no denying that. It was sheer attraction between them. But all the while he missed something special. Some connection was missing. Dismissing these thoughts , he entered the college for a new day. As he climbed the stairs he collided with somebody running down. "Whoa! Watch it!" he exclaimed as the person steadied herself. He noticed that she was new because she didn't recognise him. "Sorry sorry sorry! Wo, I'm late and I forgot..mere books bike mein reh gaye..I'm..umm..bye" she blabbered and ran again. Rey stared in amusement at the weird reaction and went to his class with a mild smile on his lips. Neeti cursed her fate for the bad impression on the guy. "Pehle din hi waat laga di. Ye Kriya ke Universeji bade bad planning karte hain boss" she muttered to herself and took her books from the bike, rushing back into the campus. Unknown to her, someone had heard her grumbling. "Kriya? But how? That's impossible! Phir bhi, if this is true..then its jackpot time" the guy smirked to himself and followed Neeti. Swayam saw him and wondered "Ye Shivam kis direction mein ja raha hai? Isnt that the class for the freshers? Something is fishy." he thought but hurried into his class , keeping the thought in mind.

Kriya had no clue what to do. After a lot of cajoling from her aunt she had agreed to join St.Louis again with her cousin. That part had been easy compared to the thought of facing the reality. Locked inside the bathroom she felt like screaming in frustration. "Universeji, ye kaisa golmaal hai! Ab main full day is bathroom mein toh nahi reh sakti right? But bahar jaake class mein..sabko face karna..What a nightmare!" Even as she rambled she heard the bell ring for the first class. Groaning silently, she opened the door and left for the class, steeling herself for the worst. After all, much had changed since the past year. The Principal had been good enough to not question her on the sudden return but her friends wouldn't be so forgiving. "Friends?" Kriya thought as she walked towards the class " Kya wo ab bhi mere friends honge?" she took a deep breath and took a step inside the class where she would meet her past. For a few minutes there were no sounds. Suddenly she heard a few gasps and a small shriek. Kriya knew that the weakling had finally got her. She just hoped that Rey would not come and make it any worse.

Rey looked up as he heard gasps and shrieks. He saw his friends stunned and looking in the same direction. As he followed their gaze, he felt himself freeze. "What the hell!" the words from Vicky were just the reaction which all of them felt. She had come. He didn't know why, but knew one thing. Now, things would turn messy.

Precap: "Dont involve her." she said in a controlled voice" Usne aapka kuch nahi bigaada." Swayam could feel the anger emanating from both of them. He saw Neeti still crying silently and staring at her sister in shock and knew that Kriya was right. Rey was just being blindly furious and the game had gone too far.

Part 3:

Bharat was the first to recover from the shock. "O teri! Kriya?!" he exclaimed, breaking the silence. All of a sudden there was chaos. The weaklings had jumped out of their seats and rushed towards her , except for Swayam, who was still stunned. Vishaka was the first to reach her and pulled Kriya into a bear hug. Neha followed and even Amar and Bharat joined them. "You idiot! Moron! Where were you all this time dude?!" Vishaka cried out still engulfing her bestie in their group hug "Tujhe idea bhi hai ki hum log kaise the? We thought everything was over man! Damn you Kriya. We missed you dude!" Kriya knew that Vishaka was never the senti type but this moment was too overwhelming even for her. Neha was speechless with emotion and Amar and Bharat ruffled her hair teasingly. Kriya felt her walls breaking as she hugged her gang back. Swayam felt tears moistening his eyes and blinked them back, slowly standing up and walking towards the gang. Everybody fell silent as they knew that Swayam was the most broken after his bestie had left without a word. Kriya wanted to hug him too but held back and couldn't meet his questioning gaze. "Itni buri shakal bhi nahi hai meri Kriya. Mujhe dekhogi toh kuch bura ho jaayega kya?" Swayam said in a slightly choked voice. Kriya looked up at him and was about to hug him too when the professor entered the class. Everyone went back to their seats reluctantly, with Vishaka pulling Kriya to sit beside her and Bharat sitting beside Swayam.

All the while the Dazzlers had undergone a transition of emotions from shock, anger to sadness except for two. Rey remained stoic and Sharon looked at Swayam's expressions wistfully. Rey felt a boiling sensation within him but his brain had stopped functioning. His thoughts were changing at express speed but one fact remained constant: she used him and he knew her true face. The professor ignored the mumbling in class and announced "Students, we have a new student with us. It would be better to call her a returning student. Kriya Ghai" he looked at her " has rejoined St.Louis and we are proud to have such a talented girl back with us." he said in a rehearsed tone to an indifferent class. Nilesh snorted in half disgust and Vishaka looked ready to pounce upon him when Kriya shook her head and politely smiled at the teacher. No one paid attention to the entire lecture with everyone dying to know about Kriya's sudden entry. Kriya realised this too and couldn't wait to get out of the class. As soon as the bell rang, everything happened simultaneously. Kriya dashed out of the class with the Weaklings following her and the Dazzlers waiting for Rey to give a signal. Rey though plainly took his books and went out in firm steps.

Shivam had gathered from the college records that the fresher was no ordinary girl. "Neeti Pankaj Diwan. Sibling in college: Kriya Ghai? Wow! So I was right! Kriya is back and this girl is her cousin. Interesting…Ek taraf uss Swayam ki behen Taani and now Kriya's sister..Lagta hai family ties bana rahe hain ye log. But whatever, my weapon is here. Ab Rey ko taunt and insult karne ka weapon hai Kriya. Bechari Kriya!" he thought to himself with a smirk as he went towards the rehearsal hall. He knew whom to find now. Even as he neared the hall, he heard music bursting from inside and felt excited. Rey would not know how to handle Kriya and Taani together. And THAt would make Shivam's weapon. He suddenly spotted Neeti coming towards the same place and got an idea. "Neeti! Neeti Diwan?" he called out. Neeti was surprised that a senior knew her. The only senior she knew in this college was Kriya. Shivam noticed the confusion on her face "Don't be confused. I'm Shivam. Kriya ka dost. Usne tumhe nahi bataya mere baare mein? Its ok. Listen, saare freshers ko rehearsal hall mein milna hoga. Something important I guess. So you better hurry. And hey, andar you'll find a guy dancing. He is another senior. Just tell him that you're Kriya's cousin ok? He'll tell you what to do." he said in mock concern. Neeti felt odd at first but finally accepted his words and went to the hall from where she heard blasting music. Shivam smirked and went the other way to call Taani. It was time for her to meet her competitor and Rey's past. And he knew that Kriya would come there in a few minutes. Trusting his plan, maybe sooner.

Kriya felt dizzy with so many questions. Her gang had not spared her after all. Neha and Vishaka were firing away 100 questions at a time and Bharat and Amar were looking quite upset too. Swayam had an odd expression on his face but didn't say anything. "Guys, guys GUYS!" Kriya yelled after some time "Itne sawaal poochoge toh main kiska answer doon? I just came here and you guys are being so hostile? Itni baatein toh Neeti bhi nahi karti!" she said with a sigh. She explained that Neeti was her cousin who had become her only companion in the city now. The girls started crying again when they heard that Smriti had died. Even as they were speaking, they heard an uproar outside the room. Suddenly a student came running "Guys! Chalo! Some girl just messed with Rey. It's a mess at the rehearsal hall. Some fresher I guess" he said and vanished . Kriya stood still for a moment and then muttered "Neeti!". Everybody looked shocked and rushed out to the rehearsal hall.

Neeti couldn't believe her bad luck. One moment she was happily telling him about Kriya and herself and the next minute he was yelling at her. She hadnt realised that this was Reyaansh Singhania, the GS of the college till she had seen the whole college gathered outside the hall, to witness her humiliation. "Who the hell are you? Tumhe kisne permission diya yahan enter karne ki?" Rey continued accusing her relentlessly. How dare she?! Just waltzing into their hall and preaching him on the greatness of that damn Kriya? As if one traitor was not enough, Ms Dehradun had brought her nosy cousin with her too? All his anger of the past flowed out on Neeti. The entire Dazzlers group was mutely watching Rey corner the girl and blasting her off. Neeti had begun to weep by now. Taani stood nearby , shivering in fear at the anger Rey showed. She didn't dare to stop him and get into trouble. "Neeti!" someone shouted from the entrance and everybody turned to look at Kriya and the Weaklings, staring at the sobbing girl and fuming Rey. Swayam understood why Rey was so furious but couldn't blame him. After all, he knew how much Kriya's words had hurt Rey. He tried to stop Kriya but she went inside and stood near her cousin. Softly wiping her tears she murmered words " Come one Neeti..bas kar.." She knew that she would have to face rey next but the face of her cousin made her blood boil. Pushing her aside slightly, she turned to face the furious Rey.

The world stood still for the two. All memories of the past came flooding in as their eyes met. Rey was shooting daggers and Kriya's eyes were secretive yet painful. They didn't notice Taani looking at both of them in anxiety. Finally Kriya spoke up "Kya main jaan sakti hoon ki..ki aap ispe kyun chilla rahe hain?" she asked in a controlled voice. Rey wanted to rip off something but merely grunted sarcastically. "Chillana? Tum logon pe koi chilla sakta hai? You and your sister must be similar right? Both of you don't have feelings. Just plain mean creatures. Oh sorry..calculative sisters, right?" he sneered. Kriya almost cried but the jab at her innocent cousin infuriated her. "Don't involve her" she said in a low tone "Usne aapka kuch nahi bigaada". Neeti was still silently crying but looked shocked at her sister. Swayam could feel the heat emanating from both of them and got Kriya's point. Rey was blinded by his hurt and anger. Before he could intervene, they heard someone else." She's right Rey" Shivam entered the hall with a serious expression on his face " You cant boss around the college dude. I mean, main maanta hoon that you're the rockstar of the college and all but ragging a fresher so much? Kriya is right, You're being irrational bro." he said supporting Kriya to everyone's surprise. Rey started towards him but Vicky and Swayam held him back and Kriya seized the opportunity taking Neeti away. Before she could leave the hall, Sharon called out " Agar itna hi confidence hai apne aap par, toh face us damn it! You think you're talented right? So show us!" she challenged on behalf of Rey. Kriya was silent but Neeti was provoked. She replied back to Sharon "Kriya IS talented! And hum ye prove karke rahenge. Challenge accepted." Shivam grabbed the chance and told that if any challenge were to happen then it should be in dance. Kriya and Rey stared at each other as everybody agreed. There was going to be a clash of the titans. A dance challenge from Dazzlers to a Weakling.

Precap: Even as Swayam, Vishaka and Neha watched on, Kriya started dancing. Neeti knew that her cousin was talented but this was new. It was like watching a dynamite. "Kukkad kamaal da.." the song picked up pace and Kriya became the old Weakling leader again. Rey felt the feeling begin again and caught Taani looking from him to Kriya. Now what would he do?
