Dev smiled to himself remembering words of Radhika "Jo apni friends hain vus se bye nahi kehna hain, see you kehna hain"
Dev:Just like that.
Dev completed his call by when Radhika came "Sir we got tickets , and also I booked the return tickets too, for the next day mng flight so that we can return back to here complete your minor works and return to India. "
Dev:Okay, and Bhuvan can we leave now.
Bhuvan:yes sir.
Radhika in her mind "Okay? Just okay. what will happen to him if ever he say good. Khadoos Dev"
Dev:Any problem Radhika
Radhika:Nothing sir.
Dev:Then why u stood like a statue, wanna stay in air port only.
Radhika:Sorry sir.
Radhika moved forward along with Dev and Bhuvan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That day they rested completely and the next day they attended the meeting every thing went fine and they returned back to hotel at 15:00.
Radhika immediately;y rushed to her room and fell on her bed. Their flight was at 20:00 so there was still 5 hours she wanna rest for some time, she was feeling very tired as the last night too Dev made her work for meeting.
Radhika thought to her self "Radhu dear, he did very well today, what will be wrong if u at least congratulate him. "
Radhika smiled as he remember Dev checking his phone whole time anticipating a call from the mysterious girl she onned her second sim and called Dev.
Dev rushed to phone as he got that special ringtone which he kept only for the phone of that girl "Hello"
Radhika changing her voice "Hello, waiting for my call"
Dev: U know every thing...
Radhika smiled and said "Hope if I can read ur mind too. "
Dev: U can say ur name right.
Radhika:Itni jaldi?
Dev;Any how tomorrow, I will get it solved.
Radhika:Then why asking me today. U will get my name right.
Dev: Okay any way was sup.
Radhika:Congrats.
Dev:For what.
Radhika:I am sure u should have done good and the project was successful, so wanna congratulate/
Dev:Its obvious and they are our regular customers so i had no problem in tackling them and indeed I worked hard for it. Thanks for compliments and yes you are right.
Radhika smiled to her self at irony and thought to her self "Dev sir, I only read their mail and said u. "
Dev:What happened.
Radhika:Nothing, see you ...
Radhika cut the phone and feeling sleepy fell her self on bed.
But Dev he had a frown on his face... "Nothing, See you..."
The words were ringing in his ears.
'Is it Radhika?'
'Other wise "see you"'
He was remembering his convo with radhika on that Party night...
Radhika:Okay Dev ! My sleeping is crawling on to me. Talk to u later when we ever meet. see u
Dev:Okay Bye
Radhika:Jo apni friends hain vus se bye nahi kehna hain, see you kehna hain
Dev:Sounds good, who said u
Radhika:My best friend
Dev:Ohhh who?
Radhika:Dev
Dev:What??
Radhika:Mera dost ka naam be Dev hain. Kyun aise nahi hotahian.
Dev:U said U are reserved\
Radhika:He was my best and only friend in the world
Dev was getting remembrance of Radhika's longing look at him when he first met her in her room and swirled her thinking her to be Mrinalini, and later the way she spoke to him at that kanhas statue where she used to sing, later the way he found her eyes longing on him, and the way she talk to him.
Dev went to Radhika room through the connection door and he didn't find Radhika in room, but there were some water sounds were coming from wash room. Dev took Radhika's phone and came to his room, he saw there were two sim signals on Radhika's phone. Dev frowned to himself "Radhika uses two sims?"
Dev dialed that girls number and then he felt his left hand vibrating. The vibration was becoz Radhikas phone was ringing, the id has a photo of him with name flashing Kishankannayya.
Dev was shocked, but he controlled himself he kept Radhikas phone back on her bed removing his dialed call and he came back to his room immediately.
Dev shut the door tight and he was sitting on his bed...
"So it was Radhika... the very Radhika whom I called my friend. The very Radhika whom I found to be trusted. the very Radhika indeed whom I trusted much more than any one. But why, why did she betray me calling as another one, why she did this all to me "
"But Dev why are u angry, u should be happy right, some hours before u only wished that the girl should be Radhika right..."
"But whats need for her to betray me as another girl, if ever she wanna bring my past back, then she can do it directly too right..."
Interrupting Dev's thoughts there was a knock on the connecting door...
Dev opened the door to find Radhika standing there, Dev observed her she changed her self into a blue colour jeans and a white colour top. she had her hair left loose. Dev asked Radhika "Whats this new look"
Radhika:Sir wo...
Dev waved his hand dismissing "Whats ur work with me now"
Radhika:Sir, I am going down to eat something, will u too...
Dev:No thanks, u leave.
Radhika:Okay sir...
Radhika found Dev in a rare way. she doesn't know what was the reason was, but she felt worried. Then only Radhika's phone rang...
Radhika:Hey mrinalini didi, bolo
Radhika came out of room.
Mrinalini:Wassup Radhu...
Radhika:The project was a success.
Mrinalini:I got the news, indeed both Taavuji and uncle were happy.
Radhika:yeah but there's a problem di.
Mrinalini:What happened yaar.
Radhika:Di, I called him from other sim to congratulate him as he was longing for that call to come.but don't know there was a change in him and he was a bit stern.
Mrinalini: Nothing wrong will happen, once he read his diaries tomorrow, even if he had any anger on u that will vanish for sure. So don't worry Radhu, I am sure ur work will be ful filled. and ur friend will be back to u tomorrow.
Radhika:But he was in a bad mood...
Mrinalni:There will be small small things, U told me u will wear the jeans did u?
Radhika:haan, though I am used to this I used to wear it in front of friends and u people, here I am in a total strange place, feeling discomfort, but okay I will manage.
Mrinalini:Good... how many days will u continue ur self as a 19th century girl.
Radhika smiled and continued down...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dev mean while opened Radhika's laptop and went through the documents...
He found a video and opened it...
That was a video of 5months back...
Radhika was staring at the computer and she had a smile on her face. she started to speak " U know what Kishankannayya, today my M.B.A completed and I am also completed with my studies. and the best thing was I beat the gold medal this time. I am really happy, but equally sad(Her expression changing into somber) its nearly 19 months from today u finally messaged me, I don't know what is the wrong i did, but what ever i did I didn't do it intentionally. And unto now i didn't share this info to any one regarding my gold medal. I wanna share it with u first as always I do. Please talk to me K.K, why are u torturing ur innocent friend in this way. Look I forgived u many times right, Today I wanna say u a thing, I know ur name was Dev and u lied ur name to me, but still I didn't talk of it to u never, becoz u are my friend and whats wrong if u lied to me, indeed u can be free of ur self to me only right. Then why are u punishing me in this way, not replying to one mail nor either coming online. what happened to u Dev. Even now a days Dadima wasn't saying any thing about u, Why? Am I that bad?
Any way leave all this, I hope U liked that gift i send to u on the ceremony of u getting ur second award as best business man. Next year also u only will bang it, but I worry that will be last as the next year I will be a competition to u. Just kidding, U are the best Dev and u will be the best for ever. But please start to speak to ur this friend again.Becoz my strength is u... by the way... this is my first video to u in which I am directly staring at u, I know we promised not to show our faces to each other until we meet in Vrindavan at the place where we first met, but today I am missing u a lot, from past 1 and half year there was no reply to me, so I am sending this message to u so that at;least u will get a glimpse of ur once best friend who even now has u only as her one and only best friend. Signing off Radhika"
Dev opened another file in the laptop and found some edited pics in which there were his photos saying... "Though u forget ur best friend, still u are fulfilling each and every promise of urs Kishankannayya"
Dev moved through some more photos and writings and then closed the laptop..
He left off into his room and said "This girl missed me to this extent, but why did she betray me, whats need for her to betray me. If ever she had only one best friend and its me, why did he play games with very me I will ask her today it self"
