" Weird guy that Sanskar. Isnt he Ragini?" Swara asked her sister while on way back home from the class. " Sanskar who " Ragini asked mischievously. "Oh hoo Ragini dont you remember the boy who intrupted our class. You are pulling my legs ." Swara accused her.
" What about him Swara?" Ragini asked while munching on peanuts. " You want some nuts Swara." Ragini asked showing her the packet.
"Ragini seriously. You didnt notice that 6 foot of gorgeousness. He looked so cute like a ripe Alphonso Mango ready to be eaten and you are saying you didnt notice him. What kind of a girl are you Ragini?"
"Seriously Swara you met him for what like a minute and you have gone FIDAA on him . Oh god help me with this girl."
" Oh shut up Ragini. Its nothing like that. Its just that when I saw him it felt as if i have known him forever. Like there was no one but him."

Few weeks had passed. The music classes were going in full swing. Uttara proved to be a good student and they trio enjoyed the classes a lot. Swara Ragini and Uttara became close friends.
Ragini noticed that Sanskar always came near the room when Swara was singing. But he went away before Swara could see him and Swara was always looking out to get a glimpse of him. And whenever they met they seemed lost for words just an awkward hai or bye.
And on one fine day Swara Ragini bumped into Sanskar at their college. Both Swara and Sanskar was not sure should they talk or not. They both felt a pull towards each other but was not sure if the other felt that way or not. Ragini saw the dilemma in their eyes and decided to play cupid.
"Sanskar thank god i found you . Can you please take to the Swara canteen . I forgot to take my book from my class and have to go and get it. Swara madam here sprained her leg last day after climbing a mango tree. You see she loves Alfonso mangoes."
"Ragini what are you saying? Sanskar there is no need for you to waste your time with me . I will go alone to canteen and there is nothing wrong with my leg."
" Ragini you go . I will take care of Swaraji for you. If she don't have a problem with that."
"She wont have a problem. Bye bye I will come back in a jiffy."
"Sanskar its ok you dont have to babysit me."
"Swara is it just me or you dont really like me that much."
"Sanskar there is nothing like that. I didnt want you to waste your time thats all."
" So friends Ms Gadodia."
"Friends Mr Maheswari."
Swara gave her hand to him that day with out knowing she had given him not just her hand in friendship but also her love , life and everything.
