"And what about your proposal??" Samrat asked Gunjan...
"We can go for a coffee if you want; and then close the deal after that", Gunjan suggested...
"Coffee is not a big deal, I'm talking about your other proposal"... Samrat somehow suppressed a mischievous grin, "To close the deal I need to fulfil Gunjan's other proposal and I want to do it now"... Samrat announced...
Other proposal?? Gunjan seemed completely perplexed and took a step back while Samrat stepped forward and gently passed a neatly folded chit in her hand... Gunjan gave a sweet smile while opening the chit while the whole college gathered in the canteen to cheer up Samrat... Samrat completely love this smile of her...
Love... This feeling cuddle him only when he thinks about this one girl that stood before him... The soothing priceless smile of Gunjan took Samrat to the first day of the college when he had met her for the first time...
The whole Excel college campus was brimming with bright and colourful banners... Various Fresher's Welcome note was seen after every two steps... Samrat stepped inside the campus; his first day in one of the most prestigious colleges in Mumbai... Though the maximum number of students of Excel college passed out from the reputed Excel High, the remaining large number of bright students comes from other institute; Samrat Shergill being one of them...
It was the first day, first period though the class was yet to begin... Some students with previous acquaintance were chatting among themselves while some were getting introduced with the new ones... Right then a group of two boys and two girls, wearing funky clothes entered the class chatting and laughing among themselves... From their designer dresses Samrat could easily conclude them being from some really rich family... They were greeted by most of the students and during that exciting encounter all sort of queries about another girl filled the air of the room ' Gunjan...
Where is Gunjan?? Is Gunjan in our department?? When will Gunjan come??
Who was this Gunjan; Samrat couldn't help wonder for a moment... But soon he pushed off her thoughts, may be another big shot or may be the diva of the college, that's why everyone is busy worrying about her...
But all his assumption about Gunjan dwindled into dust just when the pretty fair young lady with caramel eyes and flowing hair walked in... She was clad in a milky white top and a crimson red ankle length long skirt that whirled every time she moved or turned to greet somebody... She had a bright sunshine smile on her face which made Samrat feel for the first time that he could spend his entire life staring at her face... He felt a strange sensation when her red dupatta clutched with his watch while she passed him which made her pause for a moment to free herself and tilt her head to look up at him with a pleasant smile followed by a sweet sorry after she was done... It felt nice and Samrat once again stared at her from the corner of his eyes after she left...
"Don't, it will be of no use", Samrat jerked hearing those words that came from Benji; the only friend he had made till then who was sitting beside him...
"She is Gunjan Bhushan, the one and only darling daughter of the Principal; and the greatest prankster ever in the Excel history... No one ever dare to mess with her and only by befriending her and agreeing to her proposals you could be safe"... Benji cared to explain... That was enough to provoke Samrat... Let's see Miss Gunjan... He would never agree to any of her proposals let alone befriending with her... He even did the same purposely after the class when Gunjan proposed him to join them at the canteen for coffee but Samrat refused to her proposal and left, leaving behind a wry Gunjan...
Samrat sensed something suspicious coming out of the class; everyone was staring at him, giggling or trying to suppress laughter... With a little help from his friend Benji, he had found out a chit stuck on the back of his jacket... The message which it was depicting was the reason everyone was laughing and mocking at him... That was so embarrassing; he had walked around in the college carrying that stupid message on his back... It had to be Gunjan; she was the one sitting behind him during the class... He had faced several pranks over the last one month played by Gunjan and gang, but had refused to relent... But this was height... So, Miss Gunjan; now it's the payback time...
Gunjan was in the canteen with her group of friends ' Dia, Annie, Uday and Purab... They had been planning several pranks to irritate Mr. Samrat Perfect Shergill, but nothing had worked out yet... Her title of The Greatest Prankster in Excel History has miserably failed this time... So, finally she had decided to call for a truce...
"Samrat", Gunjan called out seeing him entering the canteen with Benji... "I think we had had enough, now we should close the deal and stop bothering each other", Gunjan proposed...
"And what about your proposal??" Samrat asked Gunjan...
"Huh", Gunjan's voice brought him back from the reverie... Her jaw dropped when she opened the chit he had handed over to her... What does that mean he wants to fulfil this proposal; that too here, right now, in front of the whole college... Gunjan was left dumbstruck... It was the same chit that she had glued on his back playfully with a little note Kiss Me written on it...
