The Next Day At College:
Mukti runs to her first class and sits next to Jared.
Mukti: hi...
Jared: hi, Mukti..???
Mukti: hmm???
Jared: you said you would call yesterday, I was waiting...why didn't you call?
Mukti: oh, sorry, I was talking to Prem last night!
Jared: oh, you mean Prem Bajaj?
Mukti: no, the Prem that I send letters too....
Jared: oh, ok...Muk...
Professor: everyone show me your work from yesterday...
Jared quickly turns away and opens his books. The Professor walks around, then soon goes back to the front of the class and soon gives everyone their new assignment.
Mukti: thank god, he didn't tell everyone I didn't finish my work...you know the whole night yesterday I was talking to Prem, and I didn't finish my work...
Jared: oh, you do know that he will talk to you later...
Mukti: I don't care about that; at least he didn't say it in front of everyone....
Jared smiles, and then turns back to his work.
After class everyone starts walking out, when the professor stops Mukti.
Professor: Miss. Mukti: you will have to come back after school, and finish your last nights work, and today's work...ok...
Mukti nods then heads for the Canteen, Mukti then see's Prem and his gang staring at her, then Jared comes to her table.
Jared: Mukti, why do you look scared?
Mukti: oh nothing, I look scared???
Jared: yea, like you saw a ghost...? Are you panicking about something?
Mukti: no, I don't think so...
Jared: why don't I get you a drink, ill be back.
Mukti nods, and stays in her seat.
Soon someone puts a bottle of water on her table, she looks up and see's its Prem. Prem bends his head down too look straight in her eyes...
We hear this music come in the background, its very slow, the wind blows...
Humko Humhi Se...Chura Lo... Dil Mein Kahin Tum...Chupa Lo...
Prem gives her a bottle, while smiling...then he kisses her on the forehead...Mukti moves her hands to hug him, when she realizes that she was only thinking that.
Mukti(thinks): what was I thinking...he can never be my Prem....
Soon Jared comes back.
Jared: here you go.
Mukti: thanks...
Mukti took a long sip from the bottle.
Jared: there you look much better now...
Mukti smiles then looks at then looks to where Prem and his gang were and notices he was long gone.
Mukti: c'mon, lets go to our next class...
Jared nods, then gets up, both Jared and Mukti walk to there next class.
Professor: everyone, we will be starting a new project today, you all will have to get into groups which I will decide, then you will have to perform in front of the whole school, our school is competing with the worlds best dancers, so we will need the best dances, I will get you into groups, and then you all will show me the new dance, and if I like it you will be part of the competition.
Mukti didn't take notice of who was in the class.
Professor the professor was saying everyone's names and when he came to Jared's he said some other name with him
Professor: Mr. Jared you will be partnered with Miss. Amy. And Miss. Mukti...you will be partnered with Mr. Prem...
Mukti and Jared looked at each other with shocked expressions...Mukti then looked around the class and noticed Prem sitting at the back with his gang. The Professor was talking all this time.
Professor: now, all of you get together, and talk about what you will be doing.
Mukti: Jared, I can't dance with him...
Jared: Mukti we can't change anything now...
Mukti: c'mon lets go talk to the professor...
Jared: no Mukti...(whispers: your ruining my free time with Amy...)
Mukti: oh yea...yeh toh Amy se bohot pyaar karta hai...ok you go, I'll go with Prem...
Jared: thanks a lot!
"Jared, c'mon..." Amy said as she approached.
Jared smiled and they went to some place else to talk.
Then someone tapped Mukti on the shoulder.
Mukti turned around, and saw Prem.
Mukti: oh, sorry, you can sit...(Mukti jumped out of her seat)
Prem: no need, I have a chair.
Mukti: oh(she sat back down slowly)
Prem: toh, did you think of anything?
Mukti: no...but, I was thinking, if we are going to practice, where are we gonna practice, cause I have a very small house, and If my parents see a guy at my house, then they get very superstitious.
Prem: we could talk everything out at my house, just follow me home after school...and just say you're going shopping with that Jared dude.
Mukti: do you always think of plan this easily...??
Prem: yea...
Mukti: but what if my parents phone Jared...to ask him if I m with him...?
Prem: tell Jared about this too...
Mukti: ok got it....
Mukti then looked at the clock and noticed it was 3:00, the mail man was supposed to be at the office to pick up her letter at 3:15, but she didn't give them her letter, she had to leave right away...
Mukti: oh no, mein bhool hi gayi...
Prem: what did you forget???
Mukti: something I have to go, you tell the professor that ill come back...bye!
Then Mukti runs out of the class.
3:30 Mukti comes back and goes to her calculus class, and see's Prem there already doing his work. Mukti comes and sits next to Prem.
Professor: Miss. Mukti, why so late?
Mukti: sorry, I actually had to go to my office, I had to send someone a letter, and I was very urgent...I promise I'll stay longer...
Professor: ok...you sit, I actually have to leave early today, im going when you both are done your work, the door is locked just turn off the lights and leave.
Prem and Mukti both nod, and then the professor leaves.
Mukti: omg, you know the mailman was about to leave, thank god I got there on time.
Mukti then took out her phone and went on the web and turned on her MSN to see if her Prem was online. He wasn't so she turned off her internet.
Prem: are you waiting for someone?
Mukti: yea, my friend, were both supposed to be online at this time, but he's not online...
Prem: oh...
Then he checked his phone for something...but then made a sad expression, and turned to look at Mukti again...
Mukti: what happened?
Prem: nothing...we should finish our work so then we can o to my house to choose the songs...
Mukti nods, and ten she finishes her work in like 20 minutes...she turns to looks at Prem and he was only on the 3 page...
Mukti: do you need help?
Prem: no im ok, you done?
Mukti: yea, I have to phone my parents...ill be right back...
Mukti walks to the back of the class room
Mukti: hello mama, haan mein university mein hi hoon, mujhe kuch kaam khatam karna tha, toh uske baad...mama, aaj mujhe Jared ke saath kuch shopping karni hai, toh mein raat...8 baje ghar aaogi...ok...haan, haan mama, theek hai, bye...
Prem: so you told her...
Mukti: yea...don't you have to phone..?
Prem: yea...ill be back...he walks out of the class room...
Soon Prem comes back, finishes his work then both Prem and Mukti walk to their cars.
Prem: ok just follow me, but I have to pick something up from somewhere, so just keep following me...ok
Mukti nods and then gets in her car, while they are driving Mukti notices Prem have a Lexus, she remembers reading in (her) Prem's note, that he got a new Lexus. Soon Prem's car comes to a stop in front of an office. Prem gets out and heads for the door, and then Mukti also gets out and goes to Prem's car, and pens the door and goes inside. She sees a couple pictures of him and a couple of lose paper, Mukti picks up one sheet, but right then Prem comes and knocks on the door.
Prem: what are you doing in my car...?
Mukti: oh sorry, I just wanted to see your car...
Prem: ok, now just follow me, my house is straight ahead
Mukti nods and heads to her car.
Bajaj House:
Prem drives in and then Mukti does too. Mukti is stunned by the beauty of this place. She couldn't get out of her car.
Prem then comes and knocks on her window.
Prem: will you get out yet??
Mukti gets out: Prem, what a beautiful house, I never knew you lived here!
Prem: thanks for the compliment, but can we get inside?
Mukti nods, and soon they both are inside. Inside Mukti saw a big living room, and a kitchen next to it, she saw a staircase leading to the bedrooms upstairs, there was one bedroom downstairs that had 2 doors opening to the room, Mukti guessed that belonged to his parents. Mukti then saw a beautiful woman standing at the door, dressed in a beautiful sari.
"Prem beta, yeh kaun hai?" the woman said.
Prem: Mom, this is Mukti, and Mukti this is my mom...
Mukti: namaste...she went and touch her feet.
"Jeeti raho" said his mom.
"Prerna kaun hai?" yelled someone from upstairs.
Prerna: Prem agaya, aur uske saath ek dost bhi...!
"Oh My God Prem, tum college ke baad hi kyon Doston ko late ho??" Said the man as he came downstairs...
Prerna: Mr. Bajaj, koi lardki nahi hai, lardki, aur voh bhi itni pyaari!
Mr. Bajaj: lardki!
Then he was downstairs
Mr. Bajaj: are Prem, yeh kaun hai?
Prem: omg, why don't you call everyone downstairs then I will introduce her, so I don't get asked all these questions...
"Don't worry were all here, now tell us who this is"
Prem: oh my god, ok Mukti this is everyone, everyone this is Mukti! Ok, c'mon now, we have to get to work...
Prem grabs Mukti's hand, the takes her upstairs. Soon they get into Prem's room.
Prem: sorry about that, my family is a little wacko when I bring a friend over...actually when I bring a girl over.
Mukti laughed, and then looked down at her hand, which was still held by Prem.
Prem: oh sorry (he quickly lets go) ok, c'mon lets get to work...
Mukti: actually Prem could I check something quickly on he computer...
Prem: yea sure, let me get it started for you...
Prem turned on his laptop...
Prem: here you go, and ill be back ok
Mukti nods, Prem then leaves the room, and Mukti checks her MSN.
Mukti: kya voh abhi bhi online nahi hai...? usne toh kaha tha, har roz 3-4 baje online aana, aur abhi toh 4:45 hi hai, toh voh online kyon nahi hai???
Then she signed off and waited for Prem to get back.
