Part 3B

"Sharon now tell me everthing from start to end." Swayam ordered.

"Swayam relax"

"No I can't, It's about my childhood friend and my best Friend"

"Yeah, I know. but relax. I will tell you from the start, the day they met for first time."

"Haan please..!"

"Bas ab chup - chap batao or suno !"

"What about event ?

"Fine, I will tell you after that!"

"No ways. I can't wait that long. Let me msg Rohan to look up everything."

"Ohkk..!"

"Waise bhi starting me speech hai..! And some more drama..! Tab tak tum mujhe batao..!"

Kriya was still crying in the Medical Room remembering all the events happened in the Past. Same was the case with Rey. When she told him, that his Sunshine was Dead, He was Numb. He couldn't even dream of something like that. She was his Sunshine, Not was. She is and will always be his Sunshine, Forever till death and after that. He realized in those 2 years he couldn't live without her. Both loved each other but couldn't be with each other. Now is the time, Destiny has given them a new chance. And he will definitely make proper use of it.

He reached the Fire escape, Their favorite place in school days, A smile came up on his face.

He was thinking about the Days when they were together, Blissful days they were.

"Swayam, Jab tum I guess Cannada mei the, tab Rey ki family yaha shift hui thi. We were in 9th Jab Rey ne humara school join kiya tha. Kriya, as you know we were childhood besties, We are like sisters. During School we were the same. I was the Same one, But Not Kriya. You know meri Kriya was one of the coolest girl in the whole school. Carefree, Naughty, Responsible, Friendly. Where I used to be the Prankster , She was the Sweetest. Meeting people, Being friendly with everybody. She was the Favorite of all the teachers. Especially Mrs. Kapoor, Our Hindi teacher. Everybody used to look up to her." Koi bhi problem, Kriya Ghai k paas milega Solution" was the common quote in the school" Laughed Sharon. "Swayam,You used to say na, Why does the watchman uncle near the CCD call her "Shaitaan ki naani", Because that Kriya was during the School days. We both we the Prankster Pair. But Humare pranks weren't dangerous, They were light and funny. We never intend to hurt anybody. "You know what that day was I can't forget..! Actually Kria can't. Life me first time uska prank fail ho gaya..! Actually usse uss din usse usse bhi bada prankster mil gaya 'Reyansh Singhania'.

"Kriya No, Hum aisa nahi karenge yaar, He is the new student. If he takes our prank seriously, I mean I know we won't hurt him in any way. but still Kri" Whinned Sharon.

"Ohh Come on Shay, Kuch nahi hoga re. He will be our new Bakra. Badaa mazaa aayegi"

"But Kri"

"Shay, Please"

"But Kri, kissi aur ko dhund lenge na."

"Oh Shay, Come on, Please for me" Kriya made a baby face. She knew her trick will work as always and Bull eye, It did

"Okie Fine"

"Yeahhh, I love you Shay, My baby.

"So whats the plan?"

Yeah, Plan? Umm...I donno ?"

"WHAT? Don't tell me you don't have a plan."

"I guess, I don't have a plan"

"Toh phir dekh kya rhi hai think fast"

"Kriya, Come here" Called Kriya's teacher.

"Yes, Mam coming"

"Yes, Mam"

"Kriya as you know, Reyansh singhania is going to join our school from tomorrow, I want you to take proper care of him. Tomorrow you will be showing him around the school, help him with joining any clubs he wants. And try to be a friend to him, as he is new. Is that ok?"

"Umm...Yes Mam"

Instructing her the teacher left.

"Sharoonnn..!" - Kria came running her her. She was smiling. Sharon could sense that she had a plan.

"You got it right?" sharon asked

"Umm... Yusss !" she shouted.

"Oyee.. lower down ur voice. Sabko pata chal jayega!"

"Waise bhi pata chal jayega!"

"Matlab?"

"After all they will be helping us only."

"Are you mad? If someone complains, then?"

"Sshh.. relax jaaneman! Kuch nahi hoga..! I m there na !

"Fine ! Tell me the plan.

"Here you gooo" - she wishperes the plan in her ears.

"OMGGGEE !! Its gonna be super fun.

"Oh Yeah !!" Saying they HI-fied.

The next moring for everyone else was the same. The same hustle-bustle in the school campus. Group discussion going on. Girls in washroom bichting about othesr etc, etc.

But for KriSha it was going to be a great day. After all why not? They will make "The Reyansh Singhania" a fool.

"Girls,I hope you understood the plan, when and where what you have to do? asked Sharon instructing them.

"Yes!"

"Guys he is just about to come. Get ready!" Kria announced.

The whole scene in the school changed as soon ad he entered.

"Mummmyyy..!" a gal fainted shouting.

"SHITTT.. He Is Hawwwttt..!" the other said

Two girls collide looking at him.

"Gooosshhh his looksss" a gal came running in the locker room.

"Kya hua?" asked KriSha

"Woh Woh ladka, Oh my God Sharon, Haaye !!"

"Who?"

"IDK! He Is new in school..!"

"Reyansh" - Kria mummered.

"Girls, now your turn." Kria ordered.

"I think ye plan fail hone wala hai..!" - Sharon wishpered.

"Sochna bhi mat aisa samjhi" - Kria scolled.

"Common Kria look at the atmoshphere. Girls are going crazy looking at him."

"Soo what?"

"Arey may be ye girls bhi, Then what about the plan?"

"Kuch nahi hoga"

"But"

"Nothing now, Please Sharon, Girls go." Kria announced.

At the other side boys were jealous of him. Their girls are more interested in a new random guy.

"Aaaghh.. ye ladka ! Who the hell is he?" - a guy shouted angrily.

"Koi bhi hai, Look at him, His eyes, His looks, SHIITTT, That Smileee.!" - Said a girl andgot lost in him.

"Excuse me. - Rey patted a guy's shoulder.

" Yes"

"Can you tell me, where is principal's office?"

"New guy Reyansh?"

"Yes !"

"Com with me, I'll lead you there."

"Oh, Thank you !!"

"Oh, Waise Hi, I am Abhinav, School ka Asst. Head Boy."

"Hey, You know my name, But you can call me Rey. "

"Okay Rey, Here is the principals office."

"Thanks Bro !!"

After completing all the formalities, Reyansh went out to search for Kriya Ghai, As he was told she will accompany him and show him around. He was tired waiting from last 15 minutes outside the office. He thought to go and find her out. He had heard a lot from the teacher inside about her and found her interesting.

"Hey do you know where will I find Kriya Ghai?" Asked Rey to one of the students

"No, Dude"

"Hey" called someone from behind.

"Hie? Do I know you?"

"No, You don't But I am Kriya Ghai" introduced the girl.

"Umm, Hi."

"Is she Kriya? I really don't think so. Jaise andar teacher ne bataya waise toh bilkul nhi lagti yeh, aur yeh mujhe aise ghoor (stare) kyu rahi hai?" thought Rey, " Lagta hai teacher ne kuch zyada chadha k bol diya. Chal Rey beta, Jo bhi hai issi se kaam chala lete hai.

"Hie, Kriya. I am Reyansh Singhania. Heard a lot about you." smiled Rey.

"Reyansh... what a unique name" drooled the girl.

"Thank You, for the compliment"

"Umm...Ouch"

"Are you Ok?

"Yes, Just a Sec" Saying the girl ran away," Kiri, Pinch kyu kiya?

"Abey, Gadhi. Stop drooling and commence the plan" grumped Kriya.

"Arey yaar, But he is too handsome" said the girl drooling again.

"Shut up now. Jaa aur Anisha ko bhej"

"Where the hell did she go?" thought Rey, "Kriya? Kriya? where did you go?"

"Hey, why are shouting?" said a girl

"Sorry, actually I am searching for Kriya, do you know where did she go?"

"But mai toh idhar hi hu, Why are you searching me?" replied Anisha

"waah, meri sherni, kitni ache se baat kar rhi hai, unlike Priya." grinned Kriya hiding behind the pillar.

"Arey not you, I am talking about the other one. Woh Dusri waali Kriya, Kriya Ghai. I am searching for her." explained Reyansh

"Hello, Mr. I am Kriya Ghai and who are you? Iss school k toh nahi lagte."

"I am Reyansh, Reyansh Singhania. I am new here. And tum Kriya Ghai ho toh woh kaun thi?"

"Kaun kaun thi? Mai hi Kriya Ghai hu."

"Hey, You must me the new student? Hi, I am Kriya, Kriya Ghai." walked a girl with a smile.

"What? Then who is she?"

"Reyansh, you are Reyansh the New student, I am Kriya " said another girl

And more 5-6 girls joined and introduced themselves as Kriya Ghai. They eventually started fighting about them being the real Kriya Ghai and others were fake. This confused Reyansh and he was irritated to the core, But understood the prank as he too was a prankster. Eventually he was impressed and was wondering who would have done something like this but he eventually realized it must have been Kriya, who else knew about him.

He knew she must be watching her plan being on track or not. He said to himself "Kuch to baat hao iss ladki me. Apne intro se pehle hi apna impression dil be bana gayi ye." Saying smiled and searched the whole corridor with a look to notice her.

There she was hiding behind the pillar, giggling and jumping on her success.

She has pinned her hairs with two small hair pin. As she was jumping the flicks were doing to and fro motion. Sometime hiding her eyes, other time her cheeks. But as much as he got her look he knew one thing "She is Beauty with Brains"

He announced "Stop fighting girls. And thanks for intro of Kria Ghai. Rest I will find my way, Oppss let the real girl show me the way." He wasn't able to listen what he just said as she was busy celebrating her victory of making "The Reyansh Singhania" fool on very first say.

But in no minutes she started rubbing her eyes. The quarrel going on had stopped. He hugged each girl one by one and Shook hands with them.

"Ye kya hua..? Kahaani palat kaise gayi ?" She was shocked.

All the girls were too much happy getting hug from Rey.

They were going back to classes. Kria stopped them.

Kria : Ye kya tha ? (she glared them)

Gal : Kria who...

Before she can proceed further someone patted Kria by her shoulder.

Guy : Excuse Me..? Are You Miss Kria Ghai..??

Kria replied without turning back : Aandhe ho kya ? Ya school me naye ho? Who the hell are you ? Tum mujhe nahi jante..? saying this in angry tone she turned finally

A guy was standing smiling.

Tum? Said a Shocked Kriya

Yes. Me "The Reyansh Singhania" Replied with Attitude.

So what should I do? Snapped Kriya

One min Miss. Ghai. Thank You so much girls for helping me in finding Kria. You all can go attend your class.

"Yes" the girls drooled over Reyansh

" What was that? " asked a confused Kriya

"Way to find you" smirked Rey

"Matlab?"

" Matlab you are too smart. Right..? Oopps.. You think so. But Rey se bada prankster not impossible" stated Reyansh

"What?"

"I must say nice plan. But sorry it failed."

Sharon ended. Swayan was looking her to continue.

"This was their first meet." Said Sharon

"Aage..? How they became friends and how they fall in love everything...??" asked a curious Swayam

"Aage, suno"

But Rinni interrupted. "You guys are not ready yet? Go get ready fast. Next is your duet. Fast guys."

"Swayam aage baad me. Lets get ready." Said Sharon.

"But Sharon"

"Swayam please. I promise tell u everthing in detail."

Between all this someone was blaming himself

He know if he hadn't been here, she would be fine. Even she would be able to dance today. But now things were out of control. She was in medical bed. She is no more performing on the special day.

Thinking all this while he remembers the first dance where they danced from opposite side. Giving tough competition to each other.

It had been a month since Rey had joined the School. He had adjusted really fast with the people around and was reallly co-operating well with his studies as well as his extra-curricular activities. Half of the school was his friend except for these two girls. Sharon and Kriya.

Kriya, She was highly pissed off with his flirtatious nature, everytime a conversation striked between them, He usually started flirting with her. Yes, he used to flirt with every girl. But, with her it was a different case.

Sharon, She did not why she did not talk to him. They just knew each other as classmates. They never felt a need to converse with each other.

"Kiri, my Jaaneman, Tell me yes?" shouted Sharon

"Shay? Are you okay?" Questioned a confused Kriya.

"Oh, Come on Kri, Don't act as if you don't know." Sharon raised an eye brow.

"Shay, please don't puzzle me around and speak up"

"Kri, Interhouse dance competition" Sharon shouted excitedly.

"What is i? t that you are getting so excited about, you won't be able to dance this year, You have a sprain in your leg."

"Ohh Shut Up Bone-head, What if I am not performing this year, You will be representing our Blue house, Won't you darling?"

"No" stated Kriya.

"What? Why? huh?"

"Well, I am not participating this year, Mom will not permit me at any cost"

"Why?"

"You remember, 2 months back, I diagnosed with Malaria"

"Ohh, don't make me remember that fateful month, I had to spend without you" Sharon said dramatically. "Btw, why this malaria topic"

"Actually, I was asked Mom last night about the Dance battle, she told me that she would enquire the Doc and then give her decision. So when I asked Mom about what Doc, He said that my body is still recovering and I am still weak for a Dance battle and Mom blames me, because she thinks I don't have my medicines on time and Don't eat proper food. All I do is eat junk." Scoffed Kriya

"This means Reyansh jeet gaya..?" Sharon taunted.

"What do u mean?"

"Don't tell me you really don't know that Reyansh, urf sabka pyara Rey is a Contemporary and Hip-Hop dancer."

"What? How did I not know this?"

"Pata bhi kaise hoga? Tu humesha ladne me busy jo rehti hai"

"I am participating" Kria announced.

"Matlab? How? Abhi tune bola that aunty will not allow, so?"

"I will not tell mom. And you too." Kria warned.

"Rey this time you are winning. Without any doubt" a random guy told him.

"Hmm.. how can you say..? I mean there are superb dancers, Sharon and Kria."

"Both are not participating this year."

"Why so?

"Kria was ill last month. So chance kams hai. And Sharon is having sprain in her leg."

"What? Kria ko kya hua tha..?"

"Tere aane se pehle hua tha. Thats why you don't know. She was having malaria."

"Ohh..! But I really wish woh participate karti. Mazza aata."

It was the day of the Interhouse competition. None were aware that Kriya was going to perform, that was a surprise package.

The participants were all present backstage, some stretching, some chanting prayers. Some doing nothing. Kriya was running backstage checking if everything was ready.

"Hello, Dolcezza" came a voice from behind. Kriya did not have to turn to see, who it is. She was very well aware about the person.

"Hello Mudo" replied Kriya smirking.

"Dolcezza, It would be so awesome to compete with you, I missed the chance." said Rey acting sadly.

"Ohh, Yeah Mudo, even I wanted to trash you today, But I guess luck is in your favor." winked Kriya and walked leaving a confused Rey behind.

The competition finally started the participants had already performed.

Now, it was time for the battle. Rey was all set for the Battle, but he was unaware of his competitor. He saw, Sharon sitting in the front row with a bandage on her leg, But still she was jumping in her seat and Kriya was no where to be seen.

Suddenly the lights went off and a spot light fell on the stage, But he couldn't see anyone. Suddenly a girl walked. Her face wasn't visible in the dark. The lights were on and all gasped seeing the person on stage and soon they started cheering.Rey was shocked the most, He had not expected Kriya there. But here she was present as a challenger in front of him.

Soon the battle began. Kriya and Rey were full on swing. They both tough competitors enough to give the other sweat beads on their heads. Kriya was going on her with contemporary with some ballet steps followed by Hip-Hop and Some whacking. Rey was no behind, he did some Hip-Hop with Locking and popping followed by B-boying.

While doing pirouettes Kriya had a strange sensation in her head. She felt a bit dizzy which did not go unnoticed by Rey. Kriya was about to fall, but Rey caught her on time and they started with Salsa. Their Dance had such an aura that kept everybody stuck on their seats. Their chemistry made them awestruck. They were flawless. it did not seem as though they were dancing for the first time. It looked as if they have been dancing together for years.

The music had already stopped so did their dance. But there was pure silence in the auditorium. People were still in trance. After a gap of time, people realized that the dance was over. The whole auditorium echoed with claps.

Kria was stepping downstairs. She was still having that sensation in her head. He called her from behind. She was in no mood to fight. She was not feeling well. She tried to escape him. But suddenly she was about to fall again. He caught her before she could touch the ground. She just closed her eyes. She was almost unconscious. She was unaware of things going around. He immediately took her to medical room. Leaving her there he left.

Other hand may be no one else had noticed what happened on the stage but Sharon did. She knew Rey helped and saved her bestie.

She looked up for Kria. As soon she knew she is in med room. She reached there as fast as could walk with her sprained leg. She reached there and what she saw made her still. Reyansh had brought her there. She was amazed at this.

"Ye ladka utna bhi bura nahi jitna Kria sochti hai" - Sharon murmured.

She hid sticking to the wall so that he couldn't notice him.. As she knew he did not want anyone to know about this favor .especially Kria or her..

For the next one week Kria was not attending the school. He was missing her alot. He was used to of those pointless fights, her angry looks, her taunts etc.

He decided to ask Sharon about her. After the school Sharon was supposed of leave the room.

"Sharon, One Sec Please" - Rey called her from back.

"Yes, What? Sharon turned.

"Hey, Woh actually mujhe kuch puchna tha..!"

"Yo, so pucho na"

"Wo.. actually I wanna know ki.. wo.. "

"Rey itna .stammer karna band karo. Tum pe achha nahi lagta."

"Haha.. I knw.. Mujhe bas itna pucha tha - How is Kria..?"

"Kria ? Are you sure uske baare me janana hai?" She mocked.

"Haan baba janana hai. Ab bata bhi de. I mean kuch major problem to nahi. She is absent from last few days. So I was just asking for info."

"Lol. Yes she is. It's just that the doctor has advised her to take some proper rest. And aunty bhi thoda naraz hai cause she participated."

"Hmm.. its good. She need a lot of rest.. Shayad dimag bhi thoda thik ho jaye."

"What? What do you mean?" eyed Sharon ready to pounce on him.

"Aah ! Nothing, Thank You and Ask her to take care."

"Hmm, I'll forward this msg for sure. Waise main uske ghar hi jaa rahi hun. Notes dene hai."

She was about to leave the place saying bye.

"Sharon, Can I borrow your notebook..?"

"Mujhe Kria ko dene hai otherwise main de deti."

"I will forward this to her by evening. I promise."

"Hmm.. tumhe uska ghar pata hai..?"

"Don't worry. I will find it."

"Cool. Here you go."

"Thanks. Bye..!"

She handed over the notebook and left the place.

It was late in evening. Some one knocked at the door.

"Kaka dekhiye kaun hai.!"

"Haan betiya..!"

Kaka opened the door. There was a guys standing with flowers and notebook in his hand.

"Ji apko kisse milna hai..?"

"Kria hai..?"

"Kaka kaun hai..?"

"Madam koi ladka hai bool raha hai Kria betiya se milna hai"

"Usse andar bulaye..!"

"Beta andar chalo..!"

Rey went inside the house. He was amazed to look at the walls full of Kria beautiful pictures of childhood, her dance moves, some naughty clicks, some with her bestie Sharon. Everywhere it was all about Kria.

"Excuse me"

He turned to check. A pretty lady was standing there with smile.

"Hello aunty, I am Reyansh. Kria ka classmate hun. Notes dene aaya tha."

"Hmm, I know.. Sharon ne bataya tha. Sit na. Main Kria ko bulati hun"

"Yeah sure."

Katie, Look someone is here to meet you. Come down baby"

"Aayi mom" - Kria replied from her room.

"Katie, Nice name" Rey murmured .

Kria came downstairs. She was shocked to see Rey there.

"Tum? Yahan?"

"Haan main, yahan.. tumhare ghar pe"

"What are you doing here. And tumhe address kahan se mila? What do you want?

"Wohoaa, calm down,So many !"

"Listen.. stop acting and tell me tum yahn kya kar rahe ho..?"

"Notebook, dene aaya tha. Sharon ne bola tha."

"Hmm, ohkk. de diya na.. now go..!"

"Ajeeb ladki ho tum yaar.. ghar aaye guest se aise baat karta hai koi" - he acted.

"Stup up. You Don't need to"

She couldn't complete as her mom arrived in between.

"Ye lo Rey juice. And why are you standing..? Sit na.!"

"Juice ki zarurt mujhe nahi Kria ko hai"

"You don't need to worry about me" Kria replied.

"Kria whats this ? Aise baat karta hai koi..?"

"Let be na aunty. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai." - Rey defended.

"Rey aap copy dene aaye the na.. and you may be getting late too. Jana nahi hai apko..?" - Kria asked.

" Hmm.. I m going. You take care."

"Yeah I will..!"

"Rey beta aate rahna..!" said Kria's mom

"Sure aunty ! why not, I would love to" - Rey smiled.

"Mom main upar jaa rahi hun..!"

She went back to her room without even a bit good bye.

"Sorry Rey for her behaviour."

"No worry aunty. It's totally fine. And apki uski tension mat lijiye. Let her come to school. Hum uska pura dhayan rakhenge."

"That's so sweet of you. Yea, she will attend the class by tomorrow"

"Ohkk, Aunty bye, Good night and take care.."

"Bye.. tc.. gud nite"

Kria in her room was fuming.

"Sharon ko to main chodungi nahi. Usse kya zarurt thi isse bolne ki? Aaagghh ye notes nahi chahiye mujhe"

She threw away the copy on bed. As soon as she did that a letter fell out of it..

She picked it up. And started reading.

Hei,

Listen don't dare to return this copy. Ok

"What..? Why not..? Ye Sharon ki copy hai..!" - Kria was confused at this very first line. She continued the letter.

And don't even try to think ki I am doing any kind favor .

"Favour..?" - She gave a confuses look.

This is just cause I was feeling guilty. I mean you were not supposed to be participating in this competition but you did because of me. So this is just a way to say sorry from my side. I mean you participated because you wanted make me loose. Right..? I know I am. Better you keep this without any typical girly drama like 'mujhe nahi chahiye.. main khud kar lungi.. and all."

Reyansh

She ended to reading session. And was hell confused at the lines.

"What was this..?"

She peeped inside the notebook. It wasn't Sharon's one. It's was brand new notebook. With all class works and even the home assignments.

"Rey ne ye sab mere liye kiya..? Really..? I mean haan ye sach hai that maine usse harane ke liye participate kiya tha.. but usme uski koi galti nahi thi..!"

She was amazed on what he did. Some where the equation was changing between these two.

Rey was brought to sense by the cheering of crowd of college on SwaRon duet.

"Kabhi log humare liye isse bhi jada crazy hua karte the Sunshine" - He said smiling.

Other side Kria was pissed of white wall, white bed-sheet and the bad odour of medicines She couldn't tolerate this any more. She wants to run away.

"Kitna bhagungi..?" She questioned herself, "2 saal se bhagti hi to aarhi hun na apni feelings se, Rey ki memories se. Ab bas aur nahi. I m tired now. I need to face everything. There is no way to escape."

A cute couple was fighting outside. She just overheard their conversation for a minute.

"Hum bhi kitne pagal the na..? Kitna ladte the." Kria smiled and went to the old lane of memories.

"Kriya, where are you?" Shouted Rey "Kriya dekh tune meri Deepika ki photo nahi wapas ki na then, tu dekh lena."

"Oye Mudo, Come on find me." Shouted Kriya.

"Kriyaaa" Scoffed Rey. He ran after her and caught her. "Caught you baby, Ab wapas kar meri pic" Said Reyansh

"Mr. Reyansh, Don't you ever baby me and mai nahi dungi pic" saying so Kriya ran away from there.

"Kriya ki bachi ruk jaa"

And they started running around the whole school. Their voices echoed in the whole school and finally they landed in the rehearsal hall. Kriya was running all over trying to dough Rey.

"Kriya, dekh Tyler Blackburn"

"What? Kahan?" as Kriya turned around. Rey caught her from behind.

"Bazinga !!!"

"Rey, Chod mujhe"

"Pehle Pic de"

"Pehle chod, Phir deti hu"

"I don't trust you"

"You don't trust me?" Kriya made a sad face.

"Hey Sorry, I trust you, you know that, Hai na?" Reyansh stated while cupping her face. Chal pic de ab."

"Nahi dungi" teased Kriya," Jab dekho isko hi ghoorta rehta hai"

"Kriya" Rey proceeded towards Kriya but lost his balance and fell taking along Kriya with him. Now Kriya was upon him and he beneath her.
