Part 7

Om stormed into his room upstairs and punched the wall. He couldn't believe that Om Prakash Shankar Bajpai was insulted by his own son. How could he do such a thing? He was disgusted and swore revenge. Downstairs the family who were present were still in upmost shock at the proceedings. Anant kept feeding his mother with no regret over his doings. He knew he was right and everyone else knew he was right too. Sughanda watched him as she ate the food given by him with a heavy heart. His eyes spoke regret, anger and saddness. He never wished to hurt his father or anyone may it be a loved one or stranger but there was one quality that made him like this "honesty" he was always honest about everything he couldn't see anything that was wrong in his eyes he always acted against it. Her other son Mohan he was a mirror image of herself quiet, calm and a person who will listen to insults and not say anything back. But Anant was completly different he had an essence of his father in him. He was a strong character. Sughanda held his cheek and caressed it. "Anant, go and apologise to your Papa you were right in your thinking but your method was wrong, you were saying all the right things but your traditions tell you that you shouldn't talk to your elders like that!" Sughanda cried as she forced the words out of her mouth. She gave her son love, warmth and the best teachings and that is what Anant followed. He wasn't a mamma's boy but Mamma's fighter as Sughanda described him when he was younger. Anant looked at her face full of fearful tears. "Maa aap ne sahi kaha humara tareka ghalat tha lekin mere iraada sahin tha... Maa hum aap ki haar bat manlenge par hum us insaan ko maafi nahin mangenge joh mere Maa ka apman karte hai!!" Anant was firm on his decisions and he made him Mum stand up and then took her to her room. He slammed the door open to find Om looking at his files. He didnt look up at them and continued his arrogant nature. Anant bought his Mum in and told her to sit down "Maa aap Aram kariye hum Lochan bhaiya ko abhi bolate hai ke paani aur dawaiya rak de tumare kamre me, aur hum Lochan bhaiya se poonche ghe ke aap kaam kar rahe the ke so rahe the!" Anant brushed his hand over her hair and he smiled looking down at her. He pecked her forehead and tucked her into bed. Sughanda cried again and Om glared at her. Soon after Anant went upstairs into his bedroom and looked at his phone. He saw Navya's text and smiled at it. He placed his finger over her name and blushed at it. Kitne ache hai woh. He went onto the balcony and looked at the shining moon. He thought to reply but then looked at the time. It was 2.30am. He yawned and went to sleep.

The next morning Navya woke up before everyone in the house and searched for her phone. She was eager to see if there was a message from Anant. She looked at her screen to see no new messages and her face dropped from the seconds of excitement she experienced. She went to her inbox to still see nothing there and she remained puzzled. She sat down on the bed and thought what the problem is. She opened the curtains to let the sun flood through her room but she wasn't happy. There wasn't that twinkle in her eye when she woke up normally. She was sad, felt fear in her heart for the first time. She continued her morning schedule and she prayed for Anant. She wished and prayed that he would come to college today so she could see him. But Navya was angry with him. She didnt like the fact he didnt reply to her. Maybe because she never talked to guys. She sat down for breakfast with her family and quickly ate to get ready for college. She hugged all her family and went running out of the door. The family watched her and were perplexed by her nature in the morning. "Navya ko kya hua Meeta aaj bohot kohi hui nazar aa rahe thi?" Deepak asked the worried Meeta. "Are munna kuch nahin honga kuch college ke kaam me pareshan honge, tujhe to malum hai ke woh college ki kaam me kitne mehnat aur lagan se karte hai!" Dadi brushed the thought of everyone's mind and Deepak nodded. "Maa shayad aap sahe keh rahe hai kal kuch project par kaam kar rahe thi par mujhe unko udas dekha tho humko bas chinta thi!!" Deepak smiled a little and continued his breakfast. Navya was in the rickshaw when Ritz called her. "Hi Ritz kuch kaam tha kya?" Navya spoke softly, Ritz caught her and wondered why she was sounding so low on the phone "Navya tu theek hai na? Kyun itne udas sound kar rahe hai?" Mene sirf tujhe se baat karne ke liye phone kiya aur kuch nahin!" Ritz was worried for her she was usually very happy on the phone "Ritz me tujse kuch poonche toh tujhe bara nahin lagenga na?" Navya wanted to express her thoughts to Ritz. "Navya tu kese baat kar rahe hai bol na kya baat hai?" Ritz wanted to know eagerly what she was on about. "Ritz mera ek dost hai woh kaal achanak ghar chala gaya aur mene unko message kiya par un onhe reply nahin kiya woh mere karib dost nahin hai par mujhe unke fikar hai par hum unse naraz bhi hai kyun ki unonhe mujhe reply nahin kiya!" Ritz smiled as she heard Navya. She knew her feelings for this person as Appy told her. "Kaun hai woh?" Ritz replied. Navya was shocked and blushed a little at thinking about woh! Ritz was smiling away as she could sense Navya not being able to reply. "Woh Ritz... woh Anant!" she closed her eyes as a smile played on her lips. Ritz knew it. "Navya kya tu use pyaar..." she wanted to wait for Navya's reply. "Nahin nahin Ritz tu bhi na me unse kese pyaar kar sakta hu!" Navya was shy. "Kyu nahin kar sakti hai bara hot sa ladka hai aur mujhe pata hai sab tumare bhare me Appy ne mujhe sab bat kardi!" Ritz giggled as she pulled Navya's leg. "Ritz! Tujhe pata hai ke hum kise se pasand nahin karte hu aur kabhi karoonge bhi nahi aur yeh Appy ko me chodunge nahin college ponchne de! Mene tujhe pooch kar galte ki" Navya was cross with Ritz now. "Okay baba dekh tu use baat mat kar... dekh if woh tujhe unka dost manta hai toh woh tujhe sab kuch batadenge nakar woh ladka dost ki layak nahin hai!" Ritz told her what to do "Lekin Ritz woh bare mushkil me honga tab woh!" Navya was worried still and didnt think Ritz was right "Dekh Navya sab ladke ese hi hote hai woh sabi ladkiyo se baat karte hai aur patate hai!" Ritz told her thoughts about guys and Navya was totally shocked. Navya thought about it and decided that she would listen to Ritz's suggestion and see what happens after all she does have a boyfriend. "Okay Ritz i'll speak to you later!" she cut the phone and reached college. She had her first lecture without Appy and Shraddha. She couldn't concentrate she couldn't wait to see Anant. Navya yeh tu kya kar rahe hai, tu unse baat nahin karenge and that's final. Navya stopped thinking about him for a while and wrote her notes on stem cells. She made sure she wrote her notes perfectly as they helped her for her revision and tutorials that she gave to other students. Class finished and she found Appy and Shraddha. She hugged Shraddha and glared at Appy. "Navya tu aaj Appy ko hug nahin karenge kya?" Shraddha asked her. She looked at Shraddha and smiled "Shraddha nahin hum unse hug nahin karenge!" Appy's jaw dropped. She looked at her shocked and so did Shraddha. "Kyun ki woh hamare baate sab kuch Ritz se keh dehte hai... unko lagta hai ke hum kise se pasand karte hai!" Navya looked over at her. Appy gulped and giggled "Navya kya baat hai ke mene... mene jaan pooch kar nahin kiya!" Appy looked around and Navya burst into laughter. "Kitne acha joke tha na Shraddha!" Shraddha high fived Navya and they looked at Appy's face. Navya pulled Appy for a hug and they hugged each other tightly. "Appy me sirf maazak kar raha tha tum sab ko hak hai hamare tang kichne ka!" Appy giggled.

Anant drove into college in his Mercedes C class and the girls were wooed as he stepped out of the car in an Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie, black skinny jeans and red converse. He definatly had style that would win any girl over. He walked in with his bags and bumped into a new girl. All her books dropped on the floor. The girl was Sejal; she was a fashion freak and will soon be known as the biggest flirt. She was big headed just because of her Dad's money. She wasn't interested in Medicine she got herself in because of one thing her Dad's money. She looked up to find the handsome figure in front of her eyes. She was baffled. She looked into his hazel eyes and instantly found her flirt mode. "Sorry about that... Hi im Sejal!" She put her hand forward as she couldn't take her eyes off him. Just then Navya, Appy and Shraddha walked past. His eyes flung over to Navya who was wearing a pink churidar suit. He was lost in her brown silky hair. He smiled at her when their eyes met but she walked straight past with a straight face. Anant was confused and watched her walk away. Sejal clicked her fingers in front of his eyes and his attention drew back towards her. "Sorry about that... I am Anant!" she held his hand and he felt uncomfortable. He moved his hand away and looked away. "I have to go!" he walked away and she watched him and thought I will make him mine! Anant walked into the lecture to see Navya already there sitting down arranging herself. He smiled as he saw her beautiful face. He sat down and continued to work. Sejal soon after walked in. Anant's faced dropped. The class looked at and the way she was dressed. She was wearing an extremely short dress and the teacher glared at her as well. She went and sat next to Anant. Anant shifted his table across to maintain a distance. He looked over at Navya who could see him looking at her. She continued working. The class ended with both of them glancing over at each other every few minutes.

Navya quickly packed up and walked out of the class. Anant noticed this and followed her outside. "Navya wait...!" Anant shouted her as she halted at his voice. She didnt want to turn around as she knew she would fall for those eyes. Anant walked up towards her and he came and faced her eye to eye. She looked down and didnt meet eyes with him. She was silent all along as she didnt want to say anything. Anant traced her eyes and wondered why she was not meeting eyes with him. "Navya im sorry I didnt reply to you yesterday its just I was busy...!" Anant kept staring at her and she looked at him and then looked away. She decided to answer him as he kept giving her weird looks "It's okay I was just asking anyways I have to go now I am busy!" Navya gave quite a straight reply which upset Anant he was expecting sympathy from her. But maybe she was upset. She turned around as he was in his own thoughts he didnt realise that she was moving away when he grabbed her hand to stop her. Navya halted and a surge ran through her body a feeling like no other. She closed her eyes as he felt the grip of his hand pull her closer to him. My heart goes dhin tana played. Anant stopped as she turned around letting go of the grip. "Thanks Navya for the concern!" there was complete silence as they shared an eye lock. Sejal was watching this from a far and she was disgusted. She was angry at how Anant was looking at Navya. She was thinking to herself Yeh kaun hai? Dekho tho kitne aunty type jese ladki se baat kar rahe hai mera Anant! Navya walked away without saying anything and Anant was hurt. He walked away dejected and went into the canteen for lunch as Sameer was not here. Navya decided to have her lunch on the bench outside as Appy and Shraddha had finished for the day. As Navya, was eating her lunch her eyes trailed back to the lunch room just to get a glimpse of him. She was worried for him she wanted to talk to him but couldn't. Navya what's wrong with you he said thanks and all your not being fair with him. Her mind battled her thoughts and she decided to talk to him after lunch as they have a free period together. Anant had finished his lunch and he tried all means to try and escape from Sejal. He listened to her because he was a nice guy but he was uncomfortable around her. He didnt like the way she flirted with him but he couldn't get rid of her or tell her to go away. He excused himself from her and her friends and they were baffled by his nature. "Kya ladka hai Sejal, tu is ke saath hi rehna he's perfect!" one of Sejal's friends spoke. "Eh tu you best not have your eyes on my hero, he's mine only and if anyone ever goes near him they will have to face me!" Sejal smirked at herself. Anant walked out for a walk as he played on his phone his eyes fell on Navya who was sitting by herself. His mind pushed him towards her and he went over to her. She was minding her own business reading some textbook as usual and Anant came over to her. "Hey Navya, why you by yourself where's your friends?" Navya was shocked and looked up straight away. Words couldn't come out of her mouth. She looked at him up and down and was lost by his style. Wow! She thought. "Ermm... woh Appy and Shraddha... ghar chale Gaye..." Navya finally bought her words out. "Oh right can I sit with you then?" Anant shifted his eyes towards her bag which was holding up the bench. "Sure!" she moved her bag and he sat down. She smiled at him and continued eating her sandwich quietly. "So, what you reading there?" Anant tried to start a conversation as she wasn't saying anything "The study of Cardiology by Dr Stephen Mills it's a very diverse book you should get a copy from the library it really helps us with the way we think and also exams!" Anant was just watching her and admiring her. "Ah right... I'm not really into books I prefer research on the internet!" Navya nodded and then there was an awkward silence. Navya wanted to apologise and so did Anant. "Im sorry!" they both spoke at the same time. Anant giggled and told her to speak first "No its okay you can start!" Navya spoke softly and a bit embarrased. "Oh okay I'm sorry for not replying yesterday... it's just something happened in my family yesterday!" Anant's face dropped and his eyes and face looked tense and worried. Navya looked at him worried and she didnt know what to do. "Anant... what's wrong?" Anant came back to his senses. He looked at her and shook his head. "Nothing...Navya!" he continued to look stressed and worried. "Anant tell me I know there is something wrong I can see it on your face... I may have not known you for long but I can tell when someone is sad or worried. "Anant... its okay if you dont want to tell me!" Navya smiled at him and he looked at her blankly. "Woh Navya it's not that I dont want to tell you... that morning when you text me I was very upset, dejected, angry with myself my dad thinks that I won't be able to be a doctor or do anything good with my life he has always put me down never encouraged me also he has treated my mom badly as well!" Anant had tears in his eyes and so did Navya she was shocked to hear this. She felt annoyed with herself as she was angry at him didnt talk to him. "Anant... im really sad for you but I am sure that there is love hidden behind your Dad's words he just has a different way of expressing his feelings to you... I will tell you one thing my Dad is the same you have met him as well he shouts gets angry but he has a heart of gold and I am sure your Papa does too you can't change what has happened now but you have to move on if you want to be a doctor well then prove yourself show the world that you can be Dr Anant Bajpai!" Navya had tears of happiness in her eyes and Anant was amazed at her. Why did she care so much that she cried too with me? Anant watched her and he couldn't help but look at her every move. He moved his hand towards her's and held it gently. Navya looked down and was shocked to see his hand on her's she looked at him confused. But he didnt move. His eyes were fixed on her and Navya kept glancing over every now and again. Pehla Pyaar played in the background.

Precap: Anant and Navya caught in the rain storm. They are both extremely wet and standing under the shelter.
