Chapter 1
The day has come to an end and everyone is heading back to there respective places. Suniana was staying with Mehra family as paying guest while Muskaan was staying with her parents and so does Rahul and Ajay.
Muskaan reaches home with an excitement and sees her mom watching soap opera. Muskaan shouts "Mom I have some exciting news today, but she is lost in the daily soap and tells Muskaan to change and eat something first.
Mom, not again!! I am fed up with you saas-bahu saga, aren't you bored of seeing them everyday!! Saying this she walks into her room and stands in front of the mirror. She looks at herself and says "are you crazy" you saw Rahul along with Ajay but made you ask that question. Muskaan thinks for a while and says, naah I did a good job, that Rahul thinks that he is handsome, but mind it Mr. I am not like other girls. She laughs out loudly as if she achieved something big today.
Rahul walks home thinking about Muskaan. He unties his shoes and throws them in one direction and bag in the other direction. His mom comes out shouting "Rahul yeh kya haal kar bana rakha hai ghar ka, pareshan ho gayi hoon ghar ka kaam karte karte" saying this she starts arranging things. Rahul is lost in his thoughts walking slowly towards his room. He lies on the bed with book in his hand and loud music playing in the background. He thinks that Muskaan is crazy and goes back to his reading.
Its 11:00 PM in the night and Rahul is still thinking about Muskaan, probably she is the first girl who ignored him and didn't have any affect of his charm. He finally takes the phone and calls Ajay who is surprised and asks what prompted him to call at this hour. Rahul finally bursts out saying your friend Muskaan is crazy and she doesn't have manners. Ajay tried to calm him down saying "relax, she just asked u which batch, that's it. Don't make a big deal out of it; she might have not come across you before, so I don't know what makes you think this way.
Rahul thinks for a while and finally realizes that his reaction is not justified, but he wanted to be ignorant and says no matter what, I don't like this girl and please do not invite me when she is around. Saying this he hangs up leaving Ajay confused.
Next day in college, Muskaan is walking along the corridor with some mixed feelings where she clashes with one of her friend. They get into conversation when Rahul makes his entry, he wanted to say hi to her, but she crosses his path talking to Mallika and totally ignoring him. This makes Rahul even more furious and he decides not to talk to her anymore.
He meets Ajay on his way who asks him what's the matter? Rahul replies saying, I have never seen such a ghamandi girl in my life. Ajay rolls his eyes and says, ab kya kiya Muskaan ne, Rahul immediately replies saying I didn't even take her name, so you do agree that Muskaan is ghamandi to which Ajay retorts that according to me she is really sweet and bubbly, I think you are misunderstanding and picking on her for no reason.
Rahul is amazed and says, wake up buddy!! What's happening to you, why are you justifying her actions without even knowing what really happened a while ago? I know you since years and you just know her from the past few months. So now our so many years friendship is washed away just because of this girl. Ajay is irritated and says go ahead, I m listening, Rahul couldn't stop asking if Ajay feels something for Muskaan.
Ajay's gets the shock of his life and he starts laughing loudly saying now I am confident that you have left your brain at home today. Come on buddy with Suniana around, why will I think of Muskaan. He stops saying further and realizes what he just said.
Oh finally, dil ki baat zubaan per aa hi gayi. Rahul walks off while saying this with a smile on his face. He was elated that his there is nothing between Muskaan and Ajay.
Suniana and Muskaan were sitting in the canteen when Ajay joins them thinking what he just said to Rahul. He was lost when Suniana taps her fingers saying what are you dreaming Mr. ooolaalaa. Muskaan laughs in her usual style saying Mr. Ooolaalaa, when Ajay tells her that your laugh will not continue longer when you will come to know what Rahul said about you. The change in expressions didn't take longer than a second but she replies whatever he says, I am not bothered as I hardly know him.
Her expressions and words were not going along and she calmly asks him, waise what did he say? Ajay gives a mischievous smile and tells her that he thinks that you don't have manners and possess attitude. Looks like you didnt say hi to her when he crossed you a while ago.
Muskaan is angry and she decides to teach him a lesson.
