On study table Aditya was recalling and mesmerizing his first meeting with Meghana, actually not a meeting as he was thinking she must not be remembering that at all. He was coming from his Coaching Center which he had recently subscribed to for preparation of C.A Final Exam and she was with her male friend, so careless about the surrounding world ,she dashed with him when he was waiting outside the coaching class. He still remembers that beautiful moment when she was about to fall and he had supported her ,for seconds he was looking into those pretty eyes and then came to his consciousness when she herself started apologizing and her friend thanked him then they moved away.
Her friend was saying "Aga Meghana, laksha kuthe hota tujha, zara aaju baju la baghun chal ki."
"Ho re Kiran, mahit nahi kaye zala hota, bolta bolta bhan nahi rahila" She said.
"It's OK yaar! Hota asa kadhi kadhi. I can understand it" the other guy said. In this way Aditya could know her name was Meghana. Later he came to know she was student of Arts College which is on walking distance from his coaching classes and his timing of class and her college timing are same so he could see her on the way to his classes but after his classes she used to be already gone since that day he was trying to see glimpse of her and hence he was going to classes before time just to see her there and at that time she used to be in college campus with her two male friends and Aditya Desai used to halt for some time for no reason and used to take a look at her. By now he was confirmed he is in love with Meghana but he was struggling hard to tell all this to her and she was not showing any interest or she was unaware of all his sentiments regarding her like their first meeting when she was unaware of her surroundings.He was not sure if she noticed him there or if she is in relationship or if one of her friends was her boyfriend but at the same time he was saying to himself that their behavior shows friendship only.
Mai entered his room and saw he was deeply thinking something.
She said" Kaye re Aditya, kasla vichar kartoye?"
"Kahi nahi Mai"
"Kahi asel tar sang bara ka" She mischievously added" karan ,Amit pan tasantaas asach vichar karat basayecha"
"Kaye Mai,tu pan mazi khechtaye?" He said with fake anger.
"Arrey bala, tyat kaye? Nahi mhnaje kahi asel tar sang mhatla mi, tula tar mahitach ahe na Amit ani Archu cha pan love marriage zalaye, mag?"
"Mai!"He smiled " tasa kahihi nahi ahe ani asel tar sarvat pahile tulach sangen"
"Thik ahe mag! Hey ghe garam garam coffee anli ahe tuzyasathi, lavkar sampavun tak"
On her study table, Meghana was writing diary "I am very lucky to have best friends like Aditya and Kiran and I want them to be my best friends forever and I still remember how Aditya had given me opportunity to complete my passion i,e dance performance and he used to help me in extracurricular activities which my Baba never ever permitted in my childhood and Kiran's base is so clear about study and we discuss for hours on relevant topics after classes and it is so much helpful for our studies. At the same time I want that bond should be forever and that too of friendship only as I think love thing in friendship is insult of friendship but I never discussed it with Kiran or Aditya but I know they will not go that way, hopefully!!!
pan mala asa vatte ki kahi divasa pasun ek mulga amchya college samor thoda vel thambto ani malach baghto, ani to disayela chhan ahe,errr...hey mi kaye vichar kati ahe, asel kahitari kaam tyacha kivha...jau de mala kahich karayecha nahi ahe, to jane ani tyacha kaam"
She shook her head and concentrated on her study.
Kiran was telling Aditya Nagarkar that why he doesn't share his feelings for Meghana with her that how much he loves her.
Aditya "Arrey pan ti mala ani tula best friend samajtes na, mala mahit nahi how she will take all this?"
Kiran " Don't worry Aditya, she will definitely understand it ani tu jar sangitlach nahi tar tila kalnar kasa? We never know even she must be feeling something for you."
Aditya " Pan tichya vagnyatun tar hey ajibat kalat nahi re?"
Kiran " Ho,tari tu sang tila ki mi sangu?"
Aditya "Ajibat nahi. Mi sangen vel baghun"
Kiran "Hey bagh ti yet ahe"
Meghana joined them on their college katta after the classes and Kiran said "Meghana, mala jara kaam ahe liberary madhe, mi yeto" and he winked looking at Aditya then he turned back "ani Adu la tula kahi sangayecha ahe"
Meghana "kaye sangayecha ahe Aditya?"
He fumbled and with little bit hesitation continued " Meghana, tula vatta ka ki changle mitra, changle husband wife prove hotat karan to majha Arts class mitra ahe na Rajesh, to sadhya Nisha madhe interested ahe ani tula tar mahitach ahe na they are close friends mhanun to mala vicharat hota, kaye sangu tyala?"
Meghana "Mala kharach mahit nahi re Aditya pan mala vatta friends should be friends always without making such love relationships karan te matri cha apmaan hote asa mala vatte."
He got shock of his life by hearing this then he changed the topic "Kiran la barach vel lagat ahe, thamb mi baghun yeto."
Meghana "OK,tu ja pan evdhach vicharayecha hota ka ki ajun kahi special hota?"
Aditya Nagarkar"Nahi,kahi nahi.Mi yeto."
Meghana looked across the road and saw same guy about which she was thinking last night, he was there talking on mobile and looking in her direction only. She started looking at him directly and he noticed it and then she stood up and Aditya looked at other side and when he concluded the call and saw towards the campus again , he was shocked to see Meghana standing by his side.
She angrily said "Oye Mr., what are you upto? Tumhi maza pathlaag kartaye ka? I am watching you here since last few days and you always halt here looking at me."
Aditya " Nahi tasa kahihi nahi ahe, tumcha kahitari gairsamaj hotoye. Maybe it was just a coincidence, Sorry to disturb you but it was not intended."Then he started his bike and hurriedly went away from there. On the way to his coaching institute he was thinking what he is really upto?
In library Aditya Nagarkar was telling Kiran what Meghana feels about friendship and love and instead of becoming serious Kiran laghed his heart out.
Aditya said angrily "Aata yat hasnyasarkha kaye ahe?"
Kiran "Sorry sorry, I couldn't control but it's not a big deal."
Aditya " What? What are you saying?"
Kiran "Kharach it's not a serious thing ani mi Meghana la patvun deyin ki it's not insult to friendship, Believe me, I can do it."
Aditya "Oh really! Mi tya kshana chi vaat baghen! then I'll confess my love for her."
At night Aditya Desai was thinking at study table that why he couldn't speak a word in front of Meghana?
He was engrossed in all those moments with Meghana and at the same time he was happy that first time ever she talked directly with him. "Now atleast she knows me,."he smiled thinking.
Archu entered his room and saw him smiling and thinking something that he didn't realize when she came closer and just removed book from the study table then she said "Kaye re Aditya,kaye karat ahe?"
Aditya (shocked) "Arrey Archu! tu kadhi aali?"
"Mi kadhichich aali pan tu kaye karat hota?"
"Hey kaye prashna zala ka? Abhyas kartoye aur kya?"
"Achcha!Kaye vachat hota,book tar ithe ahe" She showed his book.
"Archu! chal book de mazi ani satak ithun"
"Nahi nahi,aadhi sang kontya vicharat gung hotas?"
"Lavkar de book nahi tar mi Mai la balavto"
She teasingly said "Waah re Mai chya babdya, pan ek sangu kaal Mai ch sangat hoti mala ki tu kaslya tari vicharat gung hota ani tine tula kaye sangitla, sang baghu?"
Aditya was taken aback for a while by hearing this remembering what Mai had told him last night.
Archu: Aditya,arrey asa kaye kartos? Tyat kaye ahe, jar kahi asel tar sang na mala. Hey bagh mi pan tula Satish baddal sagla kahi sangayeche na, mag ?"
Aditya: Aga kharach asa kahich nahi ahe?
Archu: Ho ka? Mi pan tujhich bahin ahe, jo paryant tu sangnaar nahi mi ithun janaar nahi.
Aditya knew that Archu will do what she's saying and also there should be someone to guide him ,thinking that he continued "Ho ahe."
Archu was on cloud 9 "Kaye sangtos kye? Kon ahe ? Nav kaye ahe ticha? Rahtes kuthe? ani tu kadhi bhetla tila?"
Aditya:Aga halu. halu,zara mala pan bolu de ki"
Archu: OK,sorry sorry atta bol
Aditya: Ticha nav Meghana ahe ani mazya coaching institute chya javalch Arts college ahe na tithech bahutek ti final year la ahe
Archu: Bahutek? Mhanje? Tula mahit nahi?
Aditya: Nahi ga,ajun tar tilach mahit nahi ki mi tichya premat padlo mhanun.
Archu: Ghya!Aditya tu kontya yugaat jagtoye re bala ani mala kaye sangayecha zara athav?
Aditya: Mala kharach kalat nahi ahe ki kaye karu te" then he told her today's incident.
Archu: Arrey pan tu tithun padun ka gelas?Sangayecha hota na tila tevhach.
Aditya: Pan nahi jamla na mala,kaye karu atta tuch sang?
Archu: Sarvat adhi tu tila direct bhet ani sangun taak tujhya manat kaye ahe te.Satish mhanto tasa lihun ghey ti tula nahi mhannarach nahi, maza bhau ahech itka goad." she pulled his cheeks.
Aditya: Mala ekdum bolna nahi jamnaar bahutek,adhi matre tar pahije na?
Archu: Arrey pan ti tujhayshi ka bara matri karnaar? Tu kaye tichya odhkicha ahe ka? Mag asa kar love letter lih.
Aditya: Baghto jamte ka te.
"Jamel jamel nakki jamel tula ani tila tichya hatat de, ani atta abyas kar." She said giving back his book.
Meghana was writing diary "aaj Aditya Nagarkar kaye sangat hota mala kahich kalla nahi? Maitri ani prem? Pan to ani Kiran tar majhe khup changle mitra ahet mag prem kuthe aala madhech? Am I over analyzing it?
Aaj mi tya mulasamor jaun dhadakle and vicharla tyala, malach mahit nahi ki majhyat evdhi himmat aali kuthun pan tyane pan shant pane sagla aikun ghetla ani innocent disat hota, mala khatri ahey to manane khup changla asel. errr...hey kaye vichar karte mi?"
