Part 4
Heer and Ash entered the house as the dadi opened the door with a smile. 'both go and freshen up I'll bring tea for you.' Heer and ash went to their rooms. Heer kept her things on the couch and lied on the bed flat thinking the stupid game. 'any how I got a decent man as my partner. I'm lucky in that part. Rajveer too got Ash. So we won't be having any problem.' her thought disturbed by the peep indicating a message in her mobile.
'its me - Prem. '
She smiled reading the message. 'man of few words.' she saved the number. She got up to take a quick shower.
Ash took the mobile 'arrey I didn't get his number.' She kept the mobile on the table and went to washroom thinking 'is Prem happy with his partner? Heer is a nice girl. so he won't be having any problem.' she opened the shower to wash all her thoughts about Prem for now thinking 'if i insert my nose between them they will face trouble in understanding each other. let them understand each other on their own. Prem is not a tough guy.'
Her thought went to Rajveer 'he seems to be nice guy. but i'm real tough for him. even Prem struggles with me.' she give a slap on her back of the head 'why i'm again thinking about Prem. now.' she instructed to herself 'stop thinking about Prem.'

Preet took his mobile. 'hi, CB did your friends got any doubt?' Megher 'I don't think so. They must be thinking that we are trying to know each other.' Preet 'that's good.' Both were talking and laughing. Rajveer who is about go down heard Preet talking to Megher over the phone. He went down thinking 'they became very close within a second. Soon they are going to fall in love. I didn't give my number to her.'
He took his mobile. He dialed Ash number. He disappointed when Ash didn't pick up his call 'its going to be real tough. My first attempt to call her failed.' He headed towards the dinning area to check what special for their evening tea.

Prem stood in his balcony thinking 'I dropped her other side of this house. She must be staying in this house.' he looked at the 3 balconies. '3 girls in that house.' he ran his fingers through his hair 'which is Heer room?' he searched for some clue. Just then he saw in the left Megher talking over phone opened the balcony door. Prem quickly moved back to his room to hide from her. 'Megher is opposite to Preet's.' he looked at the other two empty balconies. 'Heer must be in these two.' He closed the door. he pushed the curtain aside and switched off the light. So that nothing can be visible from outside.
Through the glass window he waited with hope for Heer to appear in either one of the balcony. His wait answered after few seconds. Ash came out of right side balcony and stretched her hand in air and looking straight in Prem's direction. Prem 'Ash is there in the right. then middle one is Heer's. extacly opposite to me.' He shook his head 'in front of me.' A sweet smile crawled on his lips. He pulled the curtain and ran down to meet his friends. He heard Preet talking over phone. Just hearing few words he understood Preet is talking to Megher. He joined Rajveer in the dinning table who is sipping his tea with some pakoras.

In the college.
Class Rep. got from his seat 'hi guys. We have matches against our seniors in two weeks. After the class all the players come to their respective games field for practice.' Preet 'Prem are you in any games?' Prem 'ya. Football.' Preet 'good. You Rajveer.' Rjaveer 'football.' Preet 'good you both roll on the ground with ball. I'm going home.'
Hearing Preet words, Wilson who is in-charge of football team. 'hi Preet, you also has to come to the ground.' Preet 'why? I'm not interested.' Wilson 'you are in the list. You are a football player isn't?' Prem and Ranjveer looked at him. Preet 'but I'm' Prem and Rajveer at the same time 'you are rolling with us.' Both laughed. Preet rolled his eyes disappointed. 'okay.'
After the class, Prem, Rajveer, Preet headed towards the football ground. Heer went to tennis court. Megher and Ash went to library.

After finishing practice, Heer sat in the gallery picking up her things thinking 'how will I go home now? I don't know where Prem is?' she picked up her things and decided to call Megher. She took her mobile and noticed Prem's message in it. Her heart felt a jump. She quickly read the message.
'Come to football ground if your practice gets over before 6.'
She thought while walking towards the ground 'so caring.' She smiled. She stood in the ground searching for Prem. Boys are busy practicing. She decided to sit in a place until he finishes his session. She searched a perfect place to sit so that he won't find hard to search her. Some girls are sitting here and there watching their friends practice.
Heer noticed Ash and Megher sitting at a distance. They are holding a chips pocket between them. They are facing each other. They are not watching the guys but busy in talking about something and eating.
Heer went to them through the back row. She settled between them in the back seat. She placed her things on the next seat. 'hi what are you both doing?' Ash 'we have to push the time until they finish.' Megher 'our drivers are busy.' Ash and Megher laughed. Heer didn't like the name so she kept quiet. Looking at her face Ash and Megher too stopped laughing abruptly.
Megher 'finished your practice.' Heer 'ha.' Her eyes scanned the gang for Prem. Ash and Megher didn't notice Heer movements. Finally Heer spotted Prem. He admired his ball control between his legs. Since Rajveer is a football player she always accompanied him to many practice sessions and watched many of his college matches. She know every little thing about football. Rajveer always explained everything to her.
For next one hour, Ash, Megher and Heer talked about random things. But Heer eyes are focused on Prem during their conversation. Boys finished their session. Megher waved 'hi we are here.' boys came towards girls.
Preet jumped next to Megher and pulled the chips pocket out of her hand. Megher 'Preeet.' Preet smiled 'I'm hungry.' She smiled 'do you want anything else?' Preet 'this is enough.' He started eating without even bother about others. Rajveer settled next to Ash wiping his face with a towel.
Prem jumped over a seat and sat next to Heer 'how was the practice?' Heer smiled 'ya fine. ' Prem 'are you a state player?' Heer 'nope. Just college.' Ash got up 'lets move. Bye guys.' She happily started walking dragging Rajveer with her. Prem for a second thought 'is she angry on me for talking to Heer?' He confusingly stared at ash who is walking with Rajveer. She turned back and smiled at Prem. Prem got relieved 'she is not angry on me.' he returned a smile to her. Preet 'come Megher we'll move.' Megher and Preet went waving bye to Prem and Heer.

Heer saw Prem still siting with sweat. 'you dry your hair with the towel.' Prem 'its okay. I like this way.' Heer pulled the towel out of his hand 'you will get cold.' Prem 'I'm used to this.' Heer 'in India climate is different.' She started drying his hair. He thought 'she is very caring.' He is sitting like a obedient boy as she dried his hair. She combed his hair with her fingers twice to set his hair. 'ya come we'll go home.' Prem 'let me change this.' He pulled his t-shirt up though his head without any second thought.
Heer eyes stared at his bare chest. Before he removes out of his head she managed to look away. He took another t-shirt and changed. Heer looking away from Prem 'Prem, next time go to change room to change your shirt.' Prem 'why?' he looked around. He saw one girl staring at him shamelessly.
Prem looked at Heer 'she' Heer interrupted angrily 'I don't like girls seeing you like this.' Prem grinned 'jealous.' Heer quickly 'no.' she got up picking up her things and started walking away. Prem grabbing his things ran behind her 'I won't.' Heer stopped and looked at him. Prem smiled 'if you didn't like then I wont do that.' Heer smiled. Both walked towards the car.
** ** **
Megher in the car 'Preet, you are playing so nicely then why you stopped playing football?' Preet 'I thought you didn't watch my play. You was busy with your chips pocket' Megher 'I'm not stupid to stare at you in front of Ash and Heer.' Preet 'clever girl. but if you have accompanied me to college matches like this I won't have stopped playing.' He looked at her sadly. Megher 'sorry. For me you stopped.' Preet 'ist okay. Now I started again.'
Megher 'Preet do you know Heer is in love.' Preet 'with whom?' Megher hit his upper arm gently 'with her partner.' Preet 'Prem.' Megher shook her head positively. Preet 'how do you know?' Megher pulling his shirt collar 'I'm your Megher. i can judege people. She was staring at Prem. But I don't know about Prem.' Preet 'it's a good news. Its easy to find out from Prem side.' Megher 'but don't show that to them. They will start teasing us thinking the same between us.' Preet nodded.

Rajveer stopped the car in front of a restaurant. Ash looked at him confusingly. Rajveer 'I'm hungry. One second.' Ash nodded with a smile. He ran into the restaurant and came out after few seconds with a cover. He got into the car. Ash 'you park the vehicle in a park.' Rajveer too wanted to ask her the same but feared she may take it wrongly. He parked the car near by park. Both got out of the car and walked to place where there is much crowd. Only few couples are sitting here and there. They are busy with their partners.
Rajveer and Ash sat down. Ash opened the pack and gave it to him. Rajveer 'you too take.' Ash 'I'm not hungry. I ate lot of chips.' Rajveer 'I can't eat alone.' Ash 'okay. One small piece.' She munched that small piece to give him company until Rajveer empty the pack.
Rajveer 'are you using your mobile?' Ash opened her bag and took the mobile out 'yes. why?' Rajveer 'y'day I called you but you didn't pick it up.' Ash in sorry face 'sorry. I was in the washroom. I saw your missed call later. I thought of calling you but Megher and Heer are with me. When I found time alone it was too late in the night.' Rajveer smiled 'its okay.'
