Gunjan's thoughts get disturbed as she heard noise while walking in corridor of excel college...
"Samrat college a gya..."
Gunjan stopped a girl from crowd who were going towards entry of college..
"aik mint suno kia huwa ? sab itna chila kuin rahe hain..."
The girl excitedly replied her...
"Gunjan samrat itney dino baad college aya hai.."
The girl moved on while gunjan talked to herself...
"Fifteen days...wo fifteen days baad aya..Mujhey us sey milna jana chahiye..."
She felt so hard to take step..she knew she was the main reason of his absence...she hoped that now everything is fine..
She was about to step forward..when she saw him...His college fellows n friends had lifted him in air..she felt her breaths stopped till he was safely back on his own foot..
"Guys Guys..Relax !! "
Samrat smilingly looked at everyone...while a girl replied him..
"Samrat..tum itney dino baad aye ho tu college ka koi bhi student Relax kasey karye ga ?"
He smirks as he leaned closer to her n replied in same way..
"Thanks babes..Samrat ko yeh grand welcome bohat pasand aya.."
Just then he heard his old n best friend calling him..
"Samraaat..."
"benji.."
He pleasantly..turned n saw him running towards..him..n practically he had to slowed down his speed as samrat held him ...
"Hey hey Relax..aj tu koi over excited lagta hai aur koi over speed mein...benji teri train miss ho rahi hai ??"
"Kameeney..kidhar tha ? itney phone kea? sara sara din raaat therey ghar key bhair khara raha..k ab aye ga samrat...ni..tu ney tu jasey kasam khai hui thi na.. mjhsey na milney ki..na baat karni ki..aur tu mjhsey yeh bqwas poch raha hai...tu tekh bhi hai k nai Yeh soch soch key kasey jaan ja rahi thi meri ?? Uncle auntie ko France phone tak kar lia.. terey har aik dost key ghar chakar laga leye..lakin tu hai k ...asey gaib tha jasey zameen nigal gaye ho yaa asman gaib ho.."
Samrat's lip curved into real smile..knowing someone cares for him..it felt good to him...but to see his friends tense wasn't his department..
"Benji Benji Benji..sans tu ley ? "
"JUST SHUT UP samrat..tu janta bhi hai kitna pareshan the hum sab terey lea..? "
As samrat heard him actually yelling he surrenders himself...
"Ok I m soory benji...ab tu gusa chodh..please..dekh xaida please walese mat kar..Kuch samrat key image ka..."
Benji turned n looked at him..he hugged him quickly...his friend had scared him to death in last fifteen days ..
"Kidhar chala gya tha sam..mein itna pareshan ho gya tha.."
Samrat felt bad to see him so tensed n worried..all because of him..no more mess because of him ...
"Benji mein tekh hon..dekh aik dum perfect one piece samrat shergill"
Samrat tired to sound as much as assured to him...Benji looked at him ...
"Tu tekh tou hai na?"
Samrat smiles a bit as he realized he was sounding just like his chashmish..
"Benji tou chas...Mein tekh hon ..."
He avoided looking at him...n in that he felt her presence..but avoid looking in that direction...
"Paka???"
Benji try to make last effort to let him speak the words he want to hear...Benji I m not fine...No how possibly he could ? but his eyes could never lie from his best friends at least..
"ab ladkion ki trah teri kasm bhi khaon kia ??"
Benji smiles as felt his arm on his shoulder..samrat was behaving normal...
"Nahn..tu samney hai yahi kafi hai..tha kidhar yeh bol pehley..."
Benji looked at him for reply but saw him staring at his back..he get confused n turned saw..gunjan there...with a smile...
"Yeh bilkul tekh question kiya hai benji tm ney..."
"Gunjan tum.."
Benji looked at samrat..the smile everything had been clouded with his cold look..the look which fears him always...
"Han kuin ? tum dono apni best friend ko bhul gaye ho ? Wo bhi bohat pareshan thi ...Samrat tmney jawab nahn dia khahn the tum itney din ?"
Gunjan looked at samrat...wishing to get a reply...but his cold eyes..sent shiver in her body...her hurt was so visible in his gaze...
"Benji Mujhey princi sey milna hai...mein basket ball court mein tjhsey milta hon."
Samrat patting his back quickly turned n left..while benji forwarded hand in air to stop him.
"Par..."
"Wo abhi bhi mjhsey gusa hai.."
Gunjan said to herself...benji gets worried seeing both of them like this..
"Gunjan.."
"benji uska khayal rakhna...wo wapis a gya hai yahi baat bohat hai...mein us sey baad mein baat kar lon gi..."
Gunjan held back her tears while replied to benji while staring in space hoping to see samrat...
"Gunjan aik request karni thi.."
Gunjan looked at benji who had get serious in just fifteen days..the life had become so changed in just fifteen days..
"Request?? Benji hum logo ki friendship itni formal kasey ho gaye ?"
Gunjan's voice had sadness which made benji too sad...happy memories tried to creep in but gets faded in front of cold present..
"Wo tou mjhey bhi ni pata gunjan..shahid hmari friendship ko kisi ki nazar lag gaye hain..khair mein yeh keh raha tha k..."
Gunjan completed benji n both stares at each other..they both were concerned for one person only..
"Samrat ko time don...hmey aesa kuch bhi ni karna chahye jis sey uska gusa aur narazgi barhey yahi kehna chahtey ho na ?"
"han..thank you gunjan for understanding.."
Benji gave her a small smile...gunjan badly failed in that..
"Tm befikar raho.. bas samrat..."
"Ka dehyan rakhon ga i promise.."
"Thanks..mein class ke lea chalti hon.."
Gunjan turned ...closed her eyes..to let her soul cry alone...
It seemed like Just one night had finished everything...their friendship..Gunjan' love..benji's concern ...Samrat's care...the differences were drawn so deeply..that hurt..pain was meant to take time in healing...
