Part 3

Megher opened her closet and found all her favorite dresses inside. Now she understood why her mother didn't allow her to pack much dresses. She whispered 'I love you mom.' She took her pyjama and went to washroom. She opened the shower then suddenly she got a falsh 'Preet went with 2 guys. Who are they?' she pushed his thought 'why I'm thinking about him now?' she stepped out of the washroom.

Heer took shower. She stood infront of the dresser 'which one to wear?' finally she decided to wear a salwar for dinner. She decided to changed her night suit before going to bed. She quickly got ready and went down to meet others. Megher is already chatting with her dadi. Ash too came down wearing her shots and shirts. Phone rang.

Dadi ordered Megher lovingly 'go must be Anurag.' Megher like a kid jumped up from her chair and ran to pick up the phone. 'ha papa I reached here safely. Tell mom that I'm safe.' Anurag laughed 'she is here and listening to you.' Megher 'papa, I met two friends in the flight. They are also going to join my course in my college. So they are staying with me.' Prerna 'so you are not alone. Wherever you go you will find a gang for you.' Megher laughed 'I'm your darling kid mom. they are nice girls. Like me.' She giggled. Anurag 'obey to dadi.' Megher 'ha papa.' Anurag 'okay give to dadi.' Megher 'i love you papa. i love you mom.' she handed the reciever to Mauli.

As Mauli started talking to Anurag and Prerna, Megher started arranging table for dinner with the help of Heer and Ash.

Dadi return to join the girls for dinner. 'Heer Ash did you called your parents.' Heer and Ash shook their head negatively. Dadi ordered 'call you parents. Give them this phone number and address.' Heer 'Dadi, address' Dadi 'its near that phone beta.'

Heer dialed her home. Balraj answered the phone in the worried tone. Heer 'bapuji, I'm safely arrived.' Balraj 'I just called the house found that you didn't reach there.' Heer 'babuji, I met friend in the flight. She is also joining in the same university. She is staying with her dadi here. I'm in her house now.' Balraj 'but beta. I arranged a house for you.' Heer pleaded 'what I'll do there alone. Here it is like our home.' Teji took the phone from Balraj 'what is she saying?' Balraj 'she wants to stay with her friend who is staying with her dadi.' Teji 'if you like them then you stay with them beta.' Heer 'thanks ma.' Barlaj 'what are you telling Teji?' Teji 'it is better to stay under the watchful eyes of an elder.' Balraj too felt her decision wise. 'ask her to give the address.' Heer gave the address and phone number. 'ma. I'm going for dinner. They are waiting for me. Bye bapuji bye ma.' She ran happily.

Ash dialed her home. As soon as balwant picked up the phone 'dad, I didn't go to that jail. I'm staying with my friend. note the address.' She quickly dictated the address.' She disconnected the line. Balwant looked at DJ with a dissappointed. DJ 'you have spoiled her. see how is she informing?' Balwant 'I'll ask a person to check her in this number.'

Prem entered the house with Preet and Rajveer. A above middle aged man opened the door. Prem similed 'how are you kaka?' Ramu 'fine beta.' Prem introduced Ramu kaka to Preet and Rajveer. Ramu kaka helped them to bring their luggage into the house.

Prem 'come we'll go upstairs.' Preet looked around 'ita nice house.' Prem stopped in front of the room. 'all three rooms are similar.' Preet pushed the room door open 'I'll take this. Its near to the stairs.' Prem smiled. 'okay.' Rajveer before Prem could ask him 'I'll take the last.' He decided so to escape from Preet's frequent talks. He fears Preet may disturb him in the middle of the night with his non stop nonsence talk if his room is next to him. Prem 'okay 'I'll take this.' He entered the middle room.

Prem kept his things in the room and opened the balcony door. He stood there inhaling the air. He noticed a light in the opposite house. his eyes caught a figure moving in from balcony. He didn't see person but from the move he understood 'must be a girl.' he went into his room to change.

Preet lied on the bed flat 'CB too got friends. like me she also easily mingles with other. Within few hours she too got two friends. why I'm thinking about her now?' he pushed her thought and went to washroom to change.

After 30 minutes, Prem, Preet and Rajveer came down for dinner. They ate the dinner chatting about random things. Prem 'we have to go to the college t'row. Its better we'll go to sleep early.' Preet and Rajveer also agreed. Preet 'kaka its very nice. Thanks for the wonderful dinner.' Ramu 'I know Prem beta's taste. If you tell your taste then it will be easy for me.' Preet 'I'll eat anything. no restriction. If you want to test your cooking. You give to me. i'll give you certificate.' Rajveer 'any Indian. I like.'

Prem phone rang. He started answering the phone, while Preet and Rajveer used the landline to contact their parents. Preet got a good scolding from Kumkum for not going to the house which sumit fixed for him. Sumit supported Preet. 'you stay with your friend and enjoy Preet.' Preet is happy. Rajveer parents too agreed for his decision.

Morning, Prem, Preet, Rajveer reached the college in Prem car. Heer, Megher and Ash reached the college in Megher's car. After finishing the admission formalities they reached a room where the first years are welcomed by the seniors. Megher whispered 'Heer, only we 3 are Indians.' Ash looked around 'hai we are looking darker in front of them. did they scrachted their outer skin to get this color.' Heer pointed an African boy 'not more that guy. he burnt his skin.' they giggled. All three settled in the a row.

Prem, Preet and Rajveer entered the room. Megher slightly hit Heer under the desk 'we got 3 more Indians.' Heer and Ash looked at Prem and his friends. Ash 'lucky some one is here to understand our language.' Prem and his friends settled behind Heer and friends thinking the same.

Guy announced 'friends, you just have to find a partner.' Mat 'just grab next person's hand.' he grabbed next persosn's hand and shouted 'i got my partner.' Senior 'no. you have to find an opposite sex partner.' Heer looked at Ash and Megher.Prem looked at Rajveer and Preet. Preet giggled and whispered 'I think we landed in a wrong class.' Rajveer 'they are trying to fix the partner for us.' Prem 'I didn't understand the meaning of this game. Sounds stupid.' Preet 'Matching Busineess Administration.' he laughed closing his mouth. Prem and Rajveer signed him to be quiet.

Senior 'just move randomly. The first person who dashes on you is your partner.' He pressed 'if that person is opposite sex. You can select your own partner. If you didn't like the person you can escape before the person touches you.'

Heer 'it's a disgusting game.' Megher fearfully scanned through the crowd for Preet. she whispered 'where is this stupid IB gone?' her face brightned up when she spotted Preet 'Heer, we have to reach them.' she pointed Preet, Prem and Rajveer direction. Ash 'ya lucky that we have 3 male Indians.' Heer shook her head 'yes. we have to reach them without dashing on others.' Megher kept her eyes on Preet. 'i'm aiming for that lean tall person.' Heer is releived the she didn't show Rajveer. 'i'm going to catch the person next to him.' Ash is happy that Heer didn't select Prem. 'next to one is mine.' she pointed Prem.

Music played. Guys started targeting beautiful girls. Megher sat on the ground when one guy almost near her to hug her. Preet on the otherside searched for Megher and rushed towards her when he saw finding difficult to escape from boys. Megher escaped few more who tried to catch her and reached Preet and jumped 'thank God. I reached safely.' Preet is also happy to get his CB as his partner 'I was really worried about this stupide game.' Megher 'why?' Preet 'surely they will be having something behind this game.' Megher looked around. Preet 'who are they?' he asked pointing Heer and Ash. Megher 'I met them in the flight. They are staying with me only. I think they are targeting your friends.' they moved out of the crowd as instructed by the senior 'those who got the partners move out of the group.'

Heer and Ash had a very tough time. They are targeted by many guys. Prem and Rajveer are moving towards Ash and Heer. They were targeted by few girls. At last Prem and Rajveer are few feets in front of Heer and Ash. Ash pointed Prem 'Heer, I'm targeting that guy.' Heer nodded 'I hold this' she pointed Rajveer.

Now Heer has to cross Ash to reach Rajveer. Prem and Rajveer noticed them trying to switch their position to reach them. So they didn't switch their places. Prem pointed Heer 'Rajveer, she trying to reach you.' Rajveer 'she is okay for me. You catch that other girl.' he pointed Ash. Prem shook his head.

Prem and Rajveer are ready to grab their partners. Suddenly a guy stretched his hand to reach Heer which made her to move her body away to avoid his hand on her. She lost her balance and about to hit the ground. Prem unconsciously to save her from hurting stretched his hand to hold her. Heer closed her eyes in fear. She safely landed on Prem's hand. She opened her eyes expecting in Rajver's hand. She saw Prem holding her instead of Rajveer.

Ash looked at Prem grabbing Heer. Without wasting a second she held Rajveer's hand before someone catches his hand. Rajveer first confused but sensing the situation he smiled. Prem helped Heer to stand. She limbed a bit. Prem 'are you okay?' Heer shook her head 'ya. thanks. I'm fine.' Prem still holding her hand helped her to come out of the group. Rajveer and ash followed them.

Preet and Megher jumped happily. Preet 'good. We all got Indian friends.' others smiled. Preet 'she is Megher.' Prem and Rajveer shook hands with her. they introduced themselves to each others.

All the members of the family got a partner. This batch had equal number of boys and girls that is why they decided to conduct this game. Rajveer 'why are they kept this game?' Answer for their confusion came as announced ment 'friends, you should be with your partner in everything. like studies, projects etc. You will be asked for the reason if your partner misses a class. So know your partner.'

Prem whispered 'its strange.' Heer who is standing next to him only heard those word as the others are concentrating on the announcement fearing they may miss something. Heer looked at Prem and smiled in acceptance to his statment. A Professor announced the end of the day 'we'll meet t'row morning for the first day of the class.'

Preet 'guys, Megher got a car so I'm going home with her. you come in Prem's car.' Prem and Rajveer looked at him confusingly. Prem 'why? let them travel in that car. You come with us.' Megher 'they just told us to be with our partner.' Heer and Ash looked at Megher and surprised thinking 'both met just few minutes back.' Preet and Megher didn't wait for thei reply. They headed towards the car.

Prem turned to Heer and ash 'would you mind coming with us?' Heer and Ash shook head negatively. 'we have no other option.' Heer 'Megher is right. We should know more to finish our studies successfully here.' Ash 'whenever we approach them for help they simply ask us to get help from our partner.' Rajveer 'so it better to be in touch.' Heer 'who is car this?' Rajveer 'Prem's.' Ash 'today eveing I'll get my car. Prem you drop us today from t'row I'll pick up Rajveer.' Prem 'where are you both staying.'

Ash 'with Megher,' she told the address. Prem 'that is near our place only.' Heer 'its fine.' they all got into the car. Prem and Rajveer sat in the front. Heer sat behind Rajveer and Ash behind Prem in the back. none spoke after that.

Preet and Megher in the car excited. Preet 'CB you are great? You manged to reach me.' Megher 'I'm lucky. But Heer targeted Rajveer and Ash aimed for Prem. But they missed their target.' Preet 'but don't tell them about us.' Megher 'no I won't. you be careful. Drive fast. We have to reach home before them. We need to warn Dadi also.' Preet drove the car fast to reach the home.

Mauli is surprised to see Megher with Preet. Preet took blessings from her. 'Dadi, how are you?' Dadi 'I'm fine young man. How are you? can't you stay away from your CB. You travelled all the way from India.' Preet 'I'm here to do MBA. We are in the same class.' Dadi 'Anu didn't tell this to me.' Megher 'dadi, that's okay. But don't tell to Heer and Ash that we are already engaged.' Dadi 'why?' Preet 'they will tease us.' Like a kid 'we want to enjoy our stay here.' Mauli understood. 'but don't they understand.' Megher told about the game. Dadi' so they are thinking that you both accidently selected each other.' Megher 'yes' he pushed Preet out of the house 'you go now.' Dadi laughed looking at them. Preet 'bye' he ran out of the house shouting 'I'm taking the car with me. Call me if you want to go out.' Megher shouted back 'okay. bye.'

Preet car left the campus when Prem's entered. Rajveer 'clever boy he took the car with him.' Prem parked the car. Girls quickly got out of the car. Both 'bye.' Prem softly 'Heer' Heer stopped and looked at Prem. Prem 'your phone number.' He waited with his mobile to record her number. Heer quickly told the number. Ash walked to otherside and gave her number to Rajveer. Both girls walked towards the door without looking back.

Megher and Dadi are watching them through the window. Megher surprised 'they became friends so soon.' Dadi 'they are bold.' Megher 'may be.' She walked towards her room still confused. She remembered how she got scared when few boys tried to catch her hand. Dadi waited for Heer and Ash to press the door bell.
