Writer's POV:

The light came back as the bulbs in the pass way started illuminating giving Ishita and Raman a full view of each other , only to be lost in each other.

As they both were still lost, the sound of Ishita's phone ringing brought them out of their trance. Raman straightened Ishita as Ishita got herself free from his hold, they both moved their eyes here and there, looking anywhere they could to hide the embarrassment that the eyelock which happened a few minutes ago led to.

Ishita's eyes fell on her phone which was still ringing as she picked it up and seeing the caller ID, instantly accepted the call.

"Hello Ishita, What happened? Is everything Ok, you screamed and then you didn't say anything, I had to cut the call and re-call you..." Raghav was saying as he was cut in the middle by Ishita, "Ji Raghav Ji, Woh..."

She stopped abruptly as her eyes fell on Raman whose eyes after much moving here and there came back on her face and was staring at her from the time she had picked up the call, seeing her looking at himself, Raman again turned his eyes away as he spoke looking at the floor, "Sorry for the push, andhera tha..."

"No problem, Thanks for saving me." Ishita replied to him as a sweet smile came on her lips, it left the moment she heard Raghav speak on the phone," Ishita, Wahan Koi Aur bhi hai?"

" Woh Raghav ji...Kuch Nahi..." Ishita was cut in the middle by Raman who questioned her out of sudden curiosity, "By the way, What are you doing here alone, Today is Fresher's?"

Keeping a hand on the speaker of her phone, Ishita replied in a hurry, " Apko Dikh Raha hai na mein Phone pa baat kar Rahi Hun, I am busy, Waise Bhi, Meri Life, Meri Marzi, App itna interest Kyun dikha rahe hain...Nahi Rukiye, Mujhe Nahi Jaanana, I am busy...Bye" Sensing the sudden anger in her voice, Raman nodded like an innocent kid as he turned to leave.

" But today is Fresher's , No fresher stay backs and I guess almost all were present in the Party..." Raman was mumbling to himself as he was moving towards stairs of third floor slowly, suddenly something hit is," Except for..."

" Haan, I am sorry Raghav Ji, nothing happened, Leave it, I forgot to talk about the main reason of my call, You know na I am taking part in elections, I am confused about election agenda..." Ishita was again cut in her conversation by Raman turning back.

"Ishita !" Raman completed to himself turning back , a bit louder than mumbling as hearing her name Ishita stopped and stared , correction almost glared at him.

"Ok, last question, Are you Ishita?" Raman questioned as Ishita nodded with the same expression, she was starting to wonder if she did wrong by smiling to him before, the guy who ever it was certainly lacked manners.

Raman's face lit up as he came forward with a smile, Ishita moved back confused.

"Raghav Ji, Mein apse baad mein baat karti hun." Ishita cut the call abruptly as now keeping her phone on the side railing, she crossed her arm and stared at Raman, " What? What's your problem?" She glared at Raman who looked at her like an innocent kid as he bit his lower lip murmering to himself," Bachpan ki photo mein kitni cute lag rahi thi...But now, Such an akdu..."

" Means what? When I was busy, you had to go on speaking and now when I want to talk, You are speaking to yourself?" Ishita's anger turned to irritation as she still kept looking at him.

" Actually, I just had to ask your name, I am done...You know EVEN I AM BUSY so bye." Raman said stressing the last words as he turned to leave.

He was walking up the stairs of third floor as Ishita turned to go back in her room, still irritated, " I couldn't even talk to Raghav Ji because of him, Huh" She spoke to herself entering her room as before she could close the door, Raman jumped in front of it opening the half closed door, entering inside and then closing it, he was visibly scared.

" What? Excuse me , What the hell are you trying to do? See I have a scissor with myself , I'll do something to you..." Ishita was saying continuously scared herself as to stop her Raman kept a hand on her mouth, "Ummm...Umm" Ishita started trying to free her mouth trying to speak as Raman tried to explain her calmly," Listen, Woh Bahar..."

before he could complete, Ishita bit his hand, he screamed in pain as he left her mouth.

Realizing what he did Raman kept his other hand on his mouth while Ishita stood staring at him innocently as she realized how badly she bit his hand.

" Are you mad? Atleast listen to me yaar, I am not trying to do anything to you, I just came here for some work but... but watchman Uncle, he has woken up, I don't know how and now he is doing rounds of hostel, he was coming here, If he sees me, I am gone, coming in girls hostel alone and at night, I'll be suspended or I won't be allowed to stand in elections, please help me, Pleasee..." Raman said explaining to her as she looked calm now, her face had shown signs of guilt after biting his hand and Raman had to take benefit of the first opportunity she decided to be quiet for.

Ishita heard him calmly this time as her ears rose up hearing the words about election from his mouth.

" So you are standing in elections?"

Ishita asked as a small smile played on the side of her lips.

Raman noticed it and was about to reply when he heard a knock at the door, "Damn, Watchman uncle heard my scream, See Ishita Please save me, Please...Please, You know I didn't had any bad intentions, Please..." Raman said holding her hands and joining his own hands while holding hers innocently as Ishita smiled.

" Ok, I am ready but I need something in return? Will you give me?" Ishita asked raising her eyebrows as Raman looked at her shocked , He never expected this from such an innocent looking girl, he stared at her shocked as another knock at door brought him out of his thoughts, In his thoughts, he had remembered something important, " Well, I can give you something in return, I do have something that belongs to you with myself but I won't go with your conditions, You see we can have an exchange system, You do this for me and I return your thing, What say?" Raman asked as he saw Ishita's smile change to confusion, he left her hands as a smile came up on his lips.

Shlok's POV:

I was alone since the time Raman left for hostel, I thought he'll go , realize what a big dumbo he was being by trying to complete election agenda today and that too alone and then return in a few minutes but now it was going to be 20 minutes but I saw no signs of him and hence I decided to talk to some Fresher's in the Party, to be frank I was in hope of meeting Aastha again somewhere but sadly I couldn't find her anywhere, Now I was looking for Raja, Rani and Gayatri also but those three were as weird as Raman, I was sure I could only find them at the most random corner in the hall.

As I was moving about with these thoughts, I saw Rani coming towards me, Everything else was normal but what confused me was she using her forefinger and thumb to hold her eyes and trying to widen them as much as possible, She paused in front of me but stared at my side where there was no one, still holding her eyes.

" Shlok, Acha Hua Tum Mil Gaye, Dekho Na Mujhe Kya Ho Raha hai, Mujhe kuch log 2-2 dikh rahe hain aur kuch log blur bhi, Meri eyes Kharab Ho Gayi Kya, Kya Mein Blind Ho Jaungi abb...Annn" And she started crying like a kid leaving her eyes and trying to hold on to what she might have thought as my arms, She was about to fall down not realizing that she was trying to take support of nothing but I held her in nick of time.

" I am here Rani" I turned her towards myself as she was still wailing.

" See, I couldn't even see you, Even my best friend, Unn..." She continued crying as I caressed her hair trying to console her, I was trying to understand the situation and was about to speak as my eyes fell behind her towards Gayatri who by the way to my shock was in a purple gown , Gayatri, Gown, Purple...The three words look so odd together but for now the thing that was more odd was Raja who was walking behind her, she was walking crazily with a smile as she was about to fall at a spot, Raja held her before she would, It was so confusing but my attention was snapped back to Rani who was still crying, nobody except me could hear her in the music as she started speaking amongst her cries again ," Shlok, Shlok...Gayu Ajj Kitni sundar lag rahi hai na?" She questioned as I widened my eyes shocked, We were talking about something else Rani, What is happening here.

Raja's POV:

Gayatri walked off after gulping down my 'Appy' glass as I realized that now I couldn't leave her alone, I walked behind her cursing myself remembering how I had sneaked in alcohol in the Party in the name of 'Appy' and how Gayatri and Alcohol were a deadly combo together, I could never forget our first club night out where Gayatri drank alcohol for the first time only to have the four of us handle her weird behaviour the whole night, she couldn't handle even little of alcohol, I still had to see where Rani was, Hope she doesn't have such effects.

"Ranu, Yaar, Where is your brother? I am searching for him from so much time...Where is he?" Gayatri said holding my arms as I glared at her shocked.

" Gayatri, Am I looking like Rani to you? Seriously, Now it's being too much haan, stop overacting, Now I guess you are acting to teach me a lesson for sneaking in alcohol..." I was talking to her angrily while she was lost in her lala land but I was cut in the middle by a voice from behind, "Really Raja, Guess you forgot what happened last time she drank alcohol." I gulped hard as I realized whose voice it was, I turned to find Shlok staring at me with his typical teacher expressions, " She started screaming at me believing me to me Indravardhan, Remember?" He reminded me with the same expressions as I lowered my eyes to escape his look.

" Seriously Raja, If you had to drink alcohol then alright but making Rani and Gayatri drink it, why you..." Hearing Rani's name I raised my eyelashes only to find Shlok standing holding Rani who was acting as if counting something in air.

" Isse bhi Chad Gayi Kya? I spoke instantly as Shlok nodded, still same look.

" But why the hell did you make them drink alcohol?"

" I didn't do it purposely, I just brought it for myself but you know how both of these girls are, they snatched the glass from my hand thinking it to be soft drink and gulped in a second before I could even speak." I tried to explain myself but there was no change in Shlok's expressions.

" Sneaking in alcohol was wrong anyways, Leave it, For now we need to handle both of them, first of all these both will make a fool out of themselves this way and if by any chance, Princi gets to know na, We are gone, Lets take Rani to her ho..." Shlok paused abruptly as he spoke up my thoughts.

" ...Uncle Aunty are not going to leave us."

"Ranu...Ranu, What are you counting?" Another voice came from the side, I turned to look up at the source, Of course, Abb issi ki Kami thi.

" Bhaiyaa, Stars...remember we used to count in childhood, Like that." Rani gave a big smile to her brother while he looked at her confused.

" Acha, but stars, Inside this hall? Where are you seeing stars inside this hall Ranu?" He questioned innocently, I sometimes really wonder how innocent this guy is when it comes to Rani, sometimes I do wish to agree with Rani, Her Bhai might not be that bad after all.

I was thinking staring at him as I was brought out of my thoughts by Indravardhan who shouted at us, " You people made Ranu drink alcohol?" Guess his conversation with Rani did make him realize the truth after all.

He pushed aside Shlok's hand from Rani's shoulder as he screamed at him, " Seriously, I used to think you were the sensible out of this lot but you..."

I cut him in the middle, " Listen, Shlok didn't do anything, Its my fault." I took a deep breath as he turned his eyes fully towards me.

" Oh, Of course, How could I miss it, you and that Gayatri together did it, Right? It was planned, you both want to have pleasure by making fun of her in public, Right? Seriously, this is so ridiculous to do, to someone you call your best friend..." I tried to cut him but he wasn't ready to listen but the mention of Gayatri from his mouth reminded me that I completely forgot about her, I didn't bother myself to hear what Indravardhan was saying after that, meanwhile Shlok was trying to calm him down , Damn, Where is she now?

I turned back to search for her when Indravardhan again came in front of me angrily, " Answer me, Where is that Gayatri ? I'll not leave her today?"

" God, Where is Gayatri, We completely forgot about her." Shlok spoke up worried, reminding me something I already knew.

" Listen Indravardhan, She didn't do anything, It is a mistake, in fact even she drank alcohol and please stop screaming, as of now, nobody is able to hear you because of music but if someone did , a scene will be created here." Shlok spoke up to Indravardhan who hearing this, somewhere calmed down now.

"I don't know what you were planning to do but I am taking Rani to her home right now." Indravardhan spoke up authoritatively as he saw Rani doing some weird actions standing a few steps away.

" Ok, If you wish so..." Shlok was speaking when something striked me and I cut him in the middle.

"But Rani told me once her parents don't like you, they'll react very badly." I warned him not wishing someone else to face the wrath of my mistake as Indravardhan stood there thinking for a while.

" Don't worry about that, I will take her to her home anyways." He replied after a moment of thought getting hold of Rani's hand.

Raman's POV:

Miss Ishita was looking at me confused as I was smiling at her, " What is it?" She asked as I acted as if thinking.

" Listen, Speak fast or else I'll open the door and tell watchman Uncle about you right away." Understanding my acting, Ishita spoke starting to walk towards the door when biting my tongue, I held her hand and pulled her back, the pull went a slightly wrong way as her body hit mine in the process leading to me falling down on the bed unbalanced, She on top of me.
