FF: Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (Samud) Updated Chapter 9 Page 15 11/06

Chapter 1 The Beginning

Year 1989

In the month of January, four very different families had built their houses and moved in to Lakshminagar. The Raizadas, The Guptas, The Desais and the Vyas. Although they were all new, they bonded with each other very quickly. The common thing was that all the four families were expecting a new arrival. Other than the Raizadas, for the rest of them it was going to be their first bundle of joy. Soon enough Arnav, Saraswatichandra, Khushi and Kumud were born.

The children bridged the differences and as they grew, along with them grew the friendship and business partnership among their parents.

Year 2013

At the Gupta's home:

Garima: Khushi Beta get dressed faster else you are gonna be late for university.
Khushi: I will Mum only if I can find what to wear

Khushi walks around her room trying to decide on what to wear. Just then, she heard a voice from outside.

Arnav: Khushi hurry up.
Khushi: I can't decide what to wear
Saras: just wear something and get out of the house.
Kumud: Khushi wear something blue since we are all blue
Saras: Very Important Kumud
Kumud: Saras...

Khushi had by then managed to find a blue suit which she hurriedly wore and rushed down. After giving her mum a kiss, she rushed out.

Khushi: Good Morning
Arnav: Quick get in

Khushi quickly gets in to the back of Arnav's car. It was a usual thing that they go to classes in Arnav's Car. The four friends were studying in the same course in Delhi University. Bachelor of Arts Psychology.

They reach class on time and go towards their bench. Unlike anyone else in the class, these 4 did everything together. And somehow, Khushi and Arnav were slightly closer to each other just like Saras and Kumud. They await for their class to start. It was one of the subjects they loved but they were bored simply because of the lecture. Their teacher came in and lecture started. The four of the were struggling to pay attention and at the end of the lesson, their music appreciation teacher gave them a project. It was to perform a medley of songs and the winning team would be selected for the university culturals.

Chapter 2 The Jamming Session

Saras: What shall we do now?
Kumud: Let's think
Arnav: Come on guys, we've done this many times
Khushi: Yes but in front of everyone, it's gonna be totally different Arnav
Kumud: Khushi is right. Just thinking about it gives me shudders.
Saras: But think about this Kumud, it's going be our break through
Arnav: Yeah, we will finally get a chance to display our work

Saras and Arnav persuade Kumud and Khushi respectively. They then choose the medley and start preparing. Initially, everyone found it difficult despite the fact that they jammed their favorites every Sunday. The four of them had been doing that since they were 10. In fact they had their very own band " The Awesome Foursome". But performing outside the walls of the Kumud's room was never attempted before. They worked till late at night to make sure they were going to win it. Their parents were supportive of their children such that they encouraged them to try hard.

Whenever they stayed up late, their parents were very supportive and took good care of them. In the two weeks, they frequented to Kumud's house, doing up their homework as well as rehearsing hard. Despite all the hard work, they still had fun.

Soon it was the day of their performance in class. They reached the venue much earlier and sat down together.

Arnav: Khushi you look pale and tired. Are you okay?
Khushi: Arnav, I couldn't sleep last night. Too nervous I guess
Saras: At least Khushi you were way much better unlike Kumud
Kumud: What did I do?
Saras: You called me when I was sleeping and mumbled on about your nervousness till you fell asleep and I could no longer sleep
Kumud: But you said call me if you are worried anytime right
Saras: But...

Just then their music appreciation teacher walked in. He then called the groups one by one. The last to perform were the 4 buddies. Arnav was on the drums, Kumud on Keyboard and Saras and Khushi were on the guitars. Each of them was hooked on to a wireless microphone. Their teacher told them that once they ere ready they could start. They performed and the whole room was applauding. Eventually their teacher selected their team to represent their university in the competition. The four buddies were very happy and were very much motivated. They juggled both their studies as well as their rehearsals.

Chapter 3: The University Culturals (V Day Special)

Finally the day of the culturals arrived. It was being held in their own university. The four friends were ready to show their talent. While waiting at the backstage, the boys realized that both the girls were unusually silent. Arnav and Saras go towards Khushi and Kumud respectively and touch their shoulders. As if preplanned, both Khushi and Kumud hug them saying that they are nervous. The boys return the hug back. Later the four of them do a group hug and they are called upon onto the stage. As they position themselves behind the curtains, they look at each other determined to win this.

The curtain opens and they begin to sing. (Use the following links to hear the songs they sang)

When they end, they get an overwhelming response from the crowd. After the performance, they head over to the cafeteria to take a break. There their fellow mates were praising them.

Jeevika: Hey Khushi, your Tum Hi Ho was so sensational. How did you do that?

Khushi takes a look at Arnav and recalls the previous night. Late last night, Arnav had called Khushi to the balcony. Since their houses were next to each other, Arnav had managed to cross over to Khushi's Balcony.

Khushi: Arnav, are you mad? What if you had fell?
Arnav: I won't. Besides I can't let you all down when it's just tomorrow.
Khushi: Never do this Arnav. Ever again.
Arnav: Nervous?
Khushi: No
Arnav: Really?
Khushi: Really because you will be there beside me
Arnav: Yes I will. Khushi I'm here to let you know that you already have a number one fan for your song
Khushi: Really? Who is it?
Arnav: Me of course. So here is something for you to stay calm and rock on

Arnav hands Khushi a box.

Khushi: What is it Arnav?
Arnav: Open it up Khushi

Khushi then opens the box up and takes out a cute teddy bear.

Khushi: Oh My God. Arnav it's so cute. Thank you
Arnav: You're welcome. Now go and sleep well. Good Night
Khushi: Good night Arnav. See you tomorrow.

There was a tap on her shoulder and she was brought back to reality.

Kumud: Kya Hua Khushi?
Khushi: Nothing

Maanvi: Kumud, your Pareshaan was too good.

Kumud: Thank you Maanvi

Maanvi: You sang as if you were really in love.

Kumud recalls the previous night where Saras had dropped by and picked her up to go to the nearest Mandir. She had been amazed at how Saras read her mind and had encouraged her.

Virat: The boys didn't do any lesser.

Viren: Yes, overall as a team, you guys rocked it!

Just then, there was an announcement asking all participants to gather for prize giving. The four of them went to the auditorium. Slowly the prizes were announced. Eventually, it came to the music competition. The prizes were announced and sadly, they did not win anything. The friends were dejected and turned to leave. Just then, they heard another announcement.

"The Awesome Foursome" from Delhi University gets the special jury award. Can we have them to come up.

The four friends were surprised and ran to the stage. There, the guest of honor gave them a trophy as well as an opportunity to perform live on Star Plus since he was representing the Channel. The friends were really excited and rushed back to let their family know.
