This part is dedicated to Vaishali di ( Kriyansh24 ) kyunki agar woh mujhe force nahi karti toh main raat ke 2 baje se pehle update nahi karti. ❤️ Also this is for shaffy_arsha for reminding me about updating this one again and again. Thanks a lot. 😊
Also this one goes for Neha di as pure exams ke time pe she was the one motivating me so much. Wishing me before every exam. Asking me about them. I'm glad to have you as a friend. So this one's for you. 🤗

Recap : Kria parks her car in the only empty space available in front of a big poster about dance. She pleads her universeji to help her. Neha and Sharon complement her. First step of their plan turns successful. They go to canteen for discussing next step when Swaron enter holding hands. Everyone questions them and Swayam smoothly changes the topic. Kriyaansh in fire exit. Rey and Kria ka hug. Kria doesn't understand anything about what happens to her when she's around him. They leave together for the canteen.

Episode 17 : *Music all over* -
As they readched the canteen, the music was playing at a nice background level. Kria looked around and saw that everyone ( other people of the college - excluding the team ) was going towards their respective classes. She checked the time in he watch. It was exactly 9 a.m. All this while Rey was looking at her.
Rey to himself : Kitni cute lagti hai meri baatcutter. Sad hote hue bhi kitni sweet hai. Pata nahi maine pehle kyun nahi notice kia.
Rey was so lost that he din't realise that they've reached the table where the rest of the gang was sitting. Swayam noticed his lost friend. He went and stood beside Rey.
Swayam : So Kria ke lover, agar aapka ussey dekhna khatam ho gaya ho toh aas-paas dekh lijiye. Ab aap akele nahi hain.
Rey came to his senses and blushed while the already laughing Swayam laughed harder.
Rey : Yeh tu ..
Suddenly the song playing changes to Is this love ( of the movie Kismat Konnection ).
Rey's head turned towards the speaker while Swayam was measuring Rey's response.
[ P.S. - Guys and gals .. now I'll write the song lyrics in brackets and whatever reaction or action took place at that time without brackets. Like kaunsi lines par kya ho raha tha. ]
_______________________
( Kissa tera, teri daastaan ..
Chehra tera khud karein bayaan ..
Kissi se pyaar tujhe ho gaya ..
Tu maan jaa, haa maan jaa .. )
Rey who looked at the speaker, after hearing these lines, now slowly moved hid head towards Kria. Kria who was now talking with others. [ Reyam thoda alag se khade the, corner mein. ]
_______________________
( Keheen na laagey man ..
Kya hai yeh soona pan ..
Aahaa, aahaa ..
Mujhe tum bata do ..
Koi toh wajaa do ..
Aahaa, aahaa .. )
He is staring at Kria adoringly. He was thinking what a fool he was doubting his feelings for her. Just now all he could think was about being with her. All he wanted was to stand like this and watch her smiling, laughing and enjoying herself to the fullest.
_______________________
( Har ghadi ab khayaaloin mein ..
Keh raha hai koi ..
Har ghadi mere khwaaboin mein ..
Aa raha hai koi .. )
He walks in front and keeps on walking. On reaching the table he starts circling it. His full focus on Kria. He was about to grab attention of his friends and Swayam was scared so he pulled him back.
_______________________
( Is this love ..
Maine na jaana ..
Aa ha ha ha ..
Is this love ..
Tu hi bata na ..
Aa ha ha ha .. )
Rey realises what he was doing. He hit his head with his palm and chuckled lightly. Swayam comes and puts his hand on his shoulder.
_______________________
( Music - just as backgroung now )
Swayam : Oh mere pyaar ke mareez ( victim ), bahaar aa apni duniya se.
Rey : Hm .. ( still staring at Kria )
Swayam ( annoyed yet happy ) clicks his fingers in front of his eyes bringing Rey back to reality. Rey now turns towards Swayam with confusion clear on is face and his eyes aksing only one question - "What's this happening to me?"
Swayam : Don't be confused Rey.
Rey : I don't know why I shouldn't be confused ??
Swayam : You're so blind, Rey. Can't you see where you're headed ? Can't you see where you already are ? It's more inevitable than the sun rising in the east. ( I've already used a part of this dialougue before. :P )
Rey : What do you mean ?
Swayam : Rey, you love her.
Rey just remained silent.
Common now let's go warna tujhe toh pata hai yeh vicky aur nilesh ke gande dimag mein kya-kya aa jaata hai. Chal ab. ( Lol )
Swayam smoothly changed the topic giving Rey some time to ponder on the topic. They moved towards the rest of them.
_______________________
Sharon : Common guys, since we are off, let's celebrate.
They all sit around a big table and start chattering. Everyone was happy except for two. One Kria and the other Rey who automatically became sad seeing her.
It was unbelievable frustrating for Rey. He could clearly see that it was a strain for her to sit there, to make conservation with a new bunch of people, to be the centre of attention. He could sense her shyness from the way she held her frail-looking shoulders, slighly hunched, as if she was expecting a rebuff at any moment. He could see a faint crease between her eyebrows that she seemed unaware of. He felt the strangest urge to step in between them all, to shield this Kria Ghai from the darker workings of his friends' mind.
Sharon being the soft one could notice the tension in the atmosphere so she though of something. She stood up and asked Kria to come with her as she wanted to talk to her alone. Everyone looked at her with questioning eyes. She lied silently - " Part of the plan," so slow that Kria couldn't hear it. Kria stood up eagerly as to what she was up to and followed her out of the canteen.
Rey became sad thinking what damage was she gonna do now ? Only Swayam noticed the change in Sharon's face.
Swayam to himself : Nahi, hai toh kuch aur. It's not about the plan. She's sure upto something else. I hope she doesn't screws up everything. WHATT ? How could you think about her like this. You know she hated the weaklings - or ex-weaklings. But she's the softest one. She's a different Sharon from inside. How could you think like that Swayam ?
He sighs and they both ( Rey and Swayam ) join the conversation.

MEANWHILE IN DEHRADUN -
Sanya : Please Sameer, Please.
Rohan : Please don't do this to us. DON'T DO THIS TO HER. You know that she'll not be able to live like this. Please.
Sam : Guys, please try and understand. It's not permanent. Just give her some time. Like a month or two. Then, we'll talk again. By that time she'll surely blend in with the others.
Sanya : But still, think about what she'll go through in these two months !
They argue and argue and argue.
Natasha was sitting quitely in a corner horror-struck. She was the most emotional and most attached to Kria. She could not stand this plan. She was going through various arguments in her mind of how to break up with these three fools who thought they could leave Kria like that. But she also wanted to help Kria as she could not see her bestie so quite, so lost and so helpless. So she made her decission. Everyone noticed her so quite which was not the usual. She is a very bubbly, cheerful person. She din't seem like her today. Slowly she got up to her feet and said.
Natasha : Well guys. I know it's hard. I mean I would have left you all. But thinking about Kria, I will help her in any way. She always stood up for us, even sacrificing her own needs. So it's our time. It's the chance we've got from God to help her and prove that we are also just as good friends. So, I think I'm with Sam in this plan of his. But also I would like to say that I want to talk to her one last time. Take as many memories with me as possible.
They all understood that she's absolutely correct. So Rohan and Sanya also agreed to help Kria.
Sanya : I think she's correct. But yes Sam, Please, can we just talk to her for the last time for the coming two months.
Sam : They seem like two decade to you na.
Natasha : Two centuries.
Rohan : You have no idea.
Sanya ( quitely ) : Kya bol rahe ho tum log. Have you forgotten ki tum kisse baat kar rahe ho. You're not talking to Sam. Remember you are talking to Muffin. He is acting strong but I know he's the one most affected by this decission which is took by him.
On hearing that Sam broke down and the others felt guilty that they forgot Sam was the closest to Kria and how would he survive this decission himself. And instead of supporting him they were making it yet more difficult for him. They cursed themselves and moved towards Sam and consoled him.
Sam : Yeh lo guys, call her. ( handing them the phone. ) Let's talk to her. But for a small time. Let's not get her hopes high. Alright ?
Everyone nodded.

IN ST. LOUIS -
Sharon and Kria keep on moving. Kria doesn't have any idea where they are going as she's never been to this place before. Sharon takes her to the abandoned staircase. They both sit down on the stairs.
Sharon : Kria do you trust me ?
Kria : Of course Sharon. Why are you talking like this ? Common tell me, what's up with you ?
Sharon : Kria ..
*Ring* *Ring*
Kria's phone was ringing. Kria took it out and checked the caller Id. As soon as she saw the name, she bacam sad. She herself din't know why but a tear escaped the corner of her eye. She did not look away from the screen for a minute. She stared for a moment, and then her forehead crumpled and her eyes dropped to the floor.
This scared Sharon a lot. She looked so sad. She felt a powerful urge to to get up and go to her side, to comfort her somehow, only she didn't know what Kria would find comforting. She had no idea what made her look that way.
Kria sighed blinking through the tears - trying to stop them and just kept the phone aside.
Sharon : Arey, go ahead.
Kria just shook her head.
Sharon : I don't mind. (to herslf ) At least I'll get to know something about you.
Kria : But it can take a long time.
Sharon ( beaming to herself ) Better.
Sharon ( to Kria ) : No problem. I think I can keep up.
Kria gave her a smile, picked up the phone and answered it.
_______________________
Kria : Hello.
All : Heya !
And without knowing a huge smile spread across her face. Her hand started trmbling and the tears which she was trying hard to hold back escaped her eyes without much efforts. After all, however hard she try, she can't stay away from her friends. She looked towards Sharon who held her arms open for her to come there. She reached out to her and they shared a hug.
Sharon was too scared seeing her like this. She noticed that Kria's hand was trembling. She took the phone from her hand and kept it on speaker.
Kria was moved by her actions and she immediately saw her as her closest friend here - in Mumbai.
Sharon looked at her with a question clear in her eyes - " Do you mind if I hear ? "
Kria just gave her a smile which was easy to understand. She din't mind at all.
Kria : So meri yaad kaise aa gayi tum sabko.
They all ( Kria's gang ) noticed the sadness and understood that she's crying again.
Rohan : Kria stop crying.
Sharon ( to herself ) : Woah, inko kaise pata chala ?
Kria : Wait a second. Sanya say something.
Sanya : Yeah ?!
Kria : What the hell. Seriously don't hide anything from me ? What's wrong with you guys. Why are you pretending to be ok ? I know something's wrong. And Sanya why are you crying ? Please guys why are you so quite. Say something.
Sharon ( again to herself ) : Oh my god. They know each other so well. I mean I'm also listening to them but mujhe toh nahi pata chala ki yeh log ro rahe hain. And isse kaise pata chala ? Who are they ? I have to know.
Sam : Shh ! Jhalli ! Bolne degi tabhi toh hum kuch boleinge na.
Kria : Tum bhi muffin ? Tum bhi acting kar rahe ho ? I swear main tum logoin se baat nahi karungi. Tell me.
Nuts : It's nothing Kria. It's just that .. ( And she couldn't speak anymore. Her voice broke and she burst into tears )
Sam ( completing Nut's sentence ) : we miss you Jhalli. I miss you. And we love you.
Sanya :Yea.
And then there was a silence between all of them all the while Kria cried harder.
Sharon ( again to herself ) : Woah ! Whos this guy ? Muffin ? And what's it with Kria. Why is she so low ? How can I help her ?
She just hugged Kria tighter consoling her. Kria threw her arms around her neck and put her head on Sharon's shoulder and resting her head there cried harder. While Sharon patted her head and back calming her down.
Sam : Acha Jhalli we'll talk with you in an hour or so. Surprise hai. So please try and understand and please no gussa.
Ang he hangs up while Kria answered in the dead phone, "Oka, bie."

DEHRADUN :
Rohan : What was that ? I mean why so short ?
Sam : I can't do this. I guess you all were right.
Sanya : What do you mean ?
Sam : Din't you see ? Woh kitna ro rahi thi ? At this time she needs our support and not for us to leave us. You were right. Woh abhi itni sad hai, agar ussey pata chalega ki hum jitne close bache the woh bhi nahi rahe toh toh woh toot hi jaayegi. And agar galti se bhi depression mein chala gaya na toh pata nahi hum kya kareinge. Aise hum sirf usko chot hi de rahe hain.
Rohan and Sanya : So, what to do ?
Nuts : Hum usko life mein aagey badne ka mauka deinge with us on her side. Just like her shadow ? Are you with me guys ?
They all hoot and enjoy. They dance but Sam doesn't join.
Sam : Yes. Ab apna mood theek karlo. Common. Let's focus, exams hain. Waise bhi ek ghante baad Jhalli ko call karna hai.
