Hey guysss...guess what I am back with shot 2 of humaare pyar ka rang hai laal!
Recap: Sona meets Dev in her lift lobby and finds out he is her neighbour. They get stuck in lift in morning due to which Sona misses college bus. Dev has joined same college. He is going to go on his bike.
( Narrated by Sona )
I was in a fix. As I helplessly watched, dev walked towards his bike. I realised that I would have to let go of my ego for once. I had only one option left if I didnt want to get late for my first day of college. Only one option.
"umm...Dev!" I called after him as I walked ahead,"Dev, wait." I stood in front of him and put on my sweetest smile,. " Dev, humaari manzil ek hai. Kyun na tum mujhe saath le jao.." Dev just smiled, and brushed off those strands of hai from his forehead. Aaah...he then made eye contact with me. His eyesss...ooohhh. Wait a second. I'm getting carried away. Stop, Sona, stop! I instructed myself. You do NOT find this obodhro attractive. No!
" Arrey, Sonakshi, aa gayi naa.."
" Its miss Bose", I interrupted.
"Oh! Oh, yeah, toh Miss Bose aa gayi naa mujhse madad maangne? Tumhe aise helpless dekhne mein bada dukh ho raha hai", he said mockingly, "Lekin, main tumhe apni bike par nahi le jaaungaa "
I frowned, " Aur woh kyun?"
" Arrey! Mujhse jhagda karti ho, phir tum madad maangti ho. Main kyun tumhaari madad karun?"
" Ohh...par woh..."
" Suno, ek cheez kar sakti ho...shaayad main phir tumhaari madad kar loon.."
"Kya?"
"Sorry bol do" , he said with a shrug " Simple!"
Sorry? Why should I say sorry, when he was equally at fault? And anyway, I hadn't apologised to a boy yet. But I could almost see my college principal's face frowning at me for arriving late. I checked my watch. I had 20 minutes if I wanted to reach in time. The bike would take 15 mins at least, and then there was bound to be traffic on the way.
Kya karun, kya karun? My mind was racing with thoughts.
He smiled " Kya hua, Sonak...miss bose? Achaanak se zubaan pe lagaam laga diya? "
I looked at his mocking face and judging eyes and decided against apologising. Then I saw the principal's face again, and my brain suddenly lost control over my tongue.
" Umm...Dev...Im..Im sor..sor...sorry..." I stuttered.
He laughed " Aise nahin, miss bose. Theek se bolo na. Traditional way mein...kaan pakad ke."
He was crossing the limits now. What did he expect of me? But then my brain lost control over my hands too and they flew to my ears, and pulled. " Im sorr...sorry Dev" I shifted my gaze to the ground.
" Hmm..", he said.
" Kya?", I demanded , " Ab uthak baithak bhi karun kya? "
" If you wish"
" Humph."
" Im just joking Miss Bose. Aao bike pe baith jaao"
I looked at him. He had a genuine smile - for the first time. I couldnt help but smile back. My brain was losing control over my lips too. Hope that wouldnt go too far...
I climbed onto the bike, and he started it with a kick. The bike moved suddenly and I almost fell, catching hold of his side just in time. Phew...I thought as I sat back down properly. Then I realised I was still gripping his side tightly. I loosened my grip, but let my hand remain there and placed my other hand on his other side. It felt good.
We were both silent on the way to the college. He parked the bike a little way before, and then turned around " Miss bose, yahaan se chal ke chali jaao. Hum dono mere bike pe enter karenge toh log kya sochenge?"
He had a point. I nodded and got off. Thanks" I said.
He smiled, then extended his hand. " Friends?", he asked.
I looked at his face. His smile was genuine ( and gorgeous...) I took his hand and we shook hands. " Bye" I walked towards the college. I guess my new neighbour wasn't as bad as I had thought. Little did I know that I would soon realise that the wasnt bad at all. No. Not a little bit.
Precap: Dev and Sona get stuck in college lab. Coincidentally, its the chemistry lab.
