Radhika who was indeed moody came out as soon as dissection completed and was walking through the corridors absent minded. She was not hearing any voices present around her, but was just thinking of him. She can't understand why but she was feeling so much pain, as if she was missing the person whom she know for ages. Radhika trid to answer her self it was because she know him for2.5 years, but she felt the very answer illogical because she was not in every day touch with this person for past 2.5 years. On her way she came across Mohini, and why she doesn't know, when ever she see her she feels some own ness. She smiled to Mohini and Mohini banged on to her...
"Hey Radhika whats up?"
"Nothing maa'm, just roaming feeling bored"
"Will u accompany me to office room... I mean mumma came to see me"
Radhika;Bt aapki maa aapke liye aayi aur main wahaa... it doesn't sound good
Mohini:Chill, I will introduce u to my maa and say how beautiful u sing
Radhika:I am not that much good singer as u are.
Mohini: Believe me mumma loves to meet u
Radhika smiled and nodded her head and joined Mohini.
Mohini was all the way talking some thing or other and Radhika find it sweet as she herself was a blabber. But on their way when they are going through Final year's block, Radhka find some flute music going and she excused her self from Mohini and run from there towards the music room. Mohini too followed her, and she saw Radhika standing at the door of Music room. Mohini went to her and saw the person who was playing the instrument had his back turned to them. Mohini smiled and said "Dev bhaiyya was a beautiful Musician when it comes to flute"
Radhika looked at Mohini in shock, because Dev never mentioned about the flute any where to her.
Radhika:Dev sir??
Mohini:Haan, tum nahi jaante ho, vo acha bajaate hain bansuri ko
Radhika looked at guy and thought " Toh vus din jab main gaana gaate samay suna vo sach hain. Lekin ye flute ki awaaz mujhe bahut jaan-pehchaan lag raha hain kyun"
Mohini asked Radhika to come, but as Radhika refused, Mohini left leaving Radhika alone.

Mohini ran into the arms of her mother and said "How are u Mrinu darling"
Mrinalini looked at Mohini seriously and said "Don't call me Mrinu..."
Mohini :Maa, Papa calls u like that only, but u won't tell him a word.
Mrinalini: Papa ka baat alag hain. waise, maine suna ki, tum ghar se kuch gaanaa mujhe bina bataye lekhar aagaya
Mohini made the face of a kid who was being caught ... "Maa.. wo ladki bahut achi tarah gaati hain vus gaana ko"
Mrinalini:U know it well that, I don't like any one singing babli's song
Mohini:Maa, aap ek baar sun toh lijiye ki, vo massi ka gaana kaise gaa rahi hain
Mrinalini: Then ow only call her and make me listen the song. Any way shall I say u a thing, I doesn't wanna listen at all, because i don't want to hear how much they ruined it
Mohini:Acha maa, main abhii aayi... hum chalte hain
Mrinalini:Okay...
Mohini smiled and she left to the final year block but didn't find Radhika there, but saw Dev writing some thing she went to Dev and asked "Radhika kaha hain"
Dev:Radhika?
Mohini:Wahi mere junior, miss,Bharadwaj
Dev looked up at an instant... "Wo yaha aayi"
Mohini narrated what happened, and then she said "Acha bhai, maa aagayi main nikhal rahi hoon Vrindavan"
Dev:Main bhi jaa raha hoon ghar. tum kab aaoge
Mohini: Day after tomorrow.
Dev:Okay see u then.
Mohini smiled and then gave a message to Radhika saying she left and went to Mrinalini.
Mrinalini:Where did u go
Mohini:Bhai ke paas gaya, vusko bye bolne
Mrinalini: U say that there was a Purohith, who was ur senior and u call him Bhai. U could have introduced him to me na.
Mohini:Lekin vo abhi chale gaye hain... she looked at parking slot and looked Dev near his bike, and showed her to Mrinalini, but by the time she see he put his helmet on his face so she couldn't see him properly.
Mrinalini seeing him thinks to her self "Dev also used to look like same from back"
Mohini shouted "Bhaiyya"
Dev turned back listening to mohini's shout and saw her waving hands to him... he came there keeping his helmet on head and saw a woman in her 50's beside Mohini. He recognised it was Mohini's mom and did a pranaam to her.
Mohini: Ahaha/ itna good boy mat bano
Dev:I am always a good boy not like u
Mrinalini felt the voice to be same as Dev's///
Mohini:Okay any way Maa... its the Bhai, whom I always speak of and Bhai, its my mom Mrinalini
Dev:Namastey aunty
Mrinalini:Namastey beta... aapka naam
Dev looked at Mohini and asked "Tum ne mera naam nahi bola"
Mohini: wo kya hain ki, humaare ghar mein chote log bade logon ka naam nahi lete
Dev smiled and said "Aunty mera naam Dev hain>>>"
Mrinalini got the shock of her life, how coult it be so much similar. Mohini ignoring it said " can take off ur helmet na"
Dev:I can't keep it again if I take it. U know i hate them
Mohini: OKay , bye
Dev:see u...
saying that he bidded bye to Mrinalini and left, and Mirnalini continued to look at the side he was leaving.
Mohini went into office room to get CD of freshers day and as she came out she too left with Mrinalini.
On the way to home Mohini saw mrinalini dull and asked "maa, kya hua.."
Mrianlini:Got remembrance of ur chachu.
Mohini:Chachu... haan main toh bhool gaya chachu ka naam bhi Dev hain na
Mrinalini:Nahi, iska awaaz bhi bilkul tere chachu ke tarah hain
Mohini:Chill maa, there will be some similarities when he is from Purohith lineage. ANy way, abhi tak tum ne mujhko ye bhi nahi poocha ki main kaisi hoon
Mrinalini: Jid karke apni pasand se hostel mein join kiya, u will be good
Mohini:Mumma...

Radhika was working on with her poem which she was writing, she saw a message flash on screen...
"Why did u come to music room, when u doesn't talk to me. why u heard my music"
Radhika doesn't get any idea of what she can do, she then thought of how she should reply him she typed a small poem and posted it on FB
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dev saw Rohan working on his biceps... he feel irritated in this one aspect about Rohan that he doesn't help in any household, just always think about his body and after his exercise he goes and sleep.
Dev sighed to himself as he completed helping his mom and came back to sit infront of his FB. He was very much restless that afternoon when he came to know tat Radhika was in music room, he doesn't know why but during playing the flute he had an unsual sense which he never felt except once that day when he played flute secretly when Radhika was singing. and he tried to answer him self that it might be because others listen his flute, but he was angry on Radhika, for coming to music room when she wasn't ready to talk to him. feeling angry he messaged Radhika, but as soon as he messaged he got a call from his mom to help and he went to kitchen. He was checking her Fb, because he know she won't message him, so he was checking her profile when he got a recent status update...
" I am avoiding u,
but its not purposefully,
I may not speak to u,
but u are the on in my heart, and my mind.
Every minute I care for u
even though I am miles apart from u.
I miss u badly,
but still put on that smiling face to make u happy.,
But what I doesn't know is,
its u to whom I will lead...
There are things which attract me,
and always it happen to be associated with u
And how come it can't be,
when u are the one whom I always think of"
Dev smiled as he read the poem and thought to himself " Of course sweet heart, I am ur best friend, and I miss u like damn"

Mohini dragged Mrinalini to her room, despite of mrinalini's insistence, and as mrinalini entered the room Mohini offed the lights and said "maa, ab aap ko ye dekhna hi padega"
Mrinalini watched to the other side as the song sung by the three girls in the freshers started and she can clearly hear a voice which was very much similar to Radhika
mrinalini: Pointing to Bharka, so that prominent voice was of this girl
Mohini: Nahi maa, thought she was the lead singer, i wish u to listen to the other girl's voice, the girl who was standing beside Bharka
Mrinalini can't see Radhika's face properly as she was standing by side, but she can't help but admire how beautifully she sang it.
Mohini:I had her single voice recording for u, listen it once.
Mrinalini interestingly listened it, but she was shocked because it was very much like Radh's singing, except that, there was a small tint of sadness in the voice. Mrinalini looked at Mohini and said " U didn't modify the original song I gave u and was relaying it na"
Mohini:Pakki promise, its very much sung by Radhika. and she heard it the very instant she heard it as if she knew it form ages
Mrinalini:Radhika???
Mohini:Haan vuska naam Radhika hi tha kyun?
Mrinalini:Radhika??
Mohini:Haan mumaa... Radhika Bharadwaj... Kya hua!!!
Mrinalini took the voice recording along with her and left into her room, she saw Vivek doing some work and onned the song... as it started playing she can see a startled Vivek looking at her , he came to her and asked "Radhika ka gaana phir se kyun rakha"
Mrinalini with tears in eyes "Ye babli ka gaana nahi"
Vivek puzzled "babli ka gaana nahi matlab"
Mrinalini:Kisi aur ladki ne gaaya tha
Vivek:Common mrinu, I didn't understand
Mrinalini:Vivek, ye Mohini ki kisi junior ne gaaya tha
Vivek:Kya... but it was same as...
Mrinalini: Vuska naam jaante ho
Vivek:Kya??
Mrinalini:Radhika
Vivek: Mohini tum se khel toh nahi khel rahi na...
Mrinalini:Kaise khel sakti, jab vusko ye bhi pata nahi ki, vuski massi ka naam Radhika.
Vivek:It might be a coincidence
Mrinalini:But voice, it can't be a coincidence
"Iska toh ek hi solution hain"
Mrinalini and Vivek turned back to see Vishaka standing there...
Mrinalini:Vishu...
Vishaka: I heard every thing di..., and I can understand what's going on in ur mind, but don't keep hopes di
Mrinalini:How can't I Vishaka??
Vishaka: I have an idea... we will search on FB
Vivek:Bakwaas ka idea hain yaar kitne Radhika honge FB meuin
Mrinalini:Par Radhika Bharadwaj toh sirf ek hi hongi na
Vivek:Bharadwaj??
Mrinalini:Haan vuska poora naam Radhika Bharadwaj hain.
Vishaka immediately opened her tab and checked for Radhika Bharadwaj and there was only one profile which matched their search result, Vishaka opened that profile to see any photo of her, but she didn't get any photo of her, for the first time in her life Vishaka wished the security settings of FB to be absent. She accidentally managed to click over the friends list when she got the name of Dev Purohith across the starting, startled she looked at the profile pic and it was same as that of Dev. Vishaka who was shocked, fell her self on to the coach, and Mrinalini who was confused took the Tab from her and saw Dev's profile pic...She went to through the profile and understood it was of Dev's who she met today mng. Vivek who was also shocked by things happening thought to himself "May be that saint's prediction was coming true"
Mrinalini : I am sure wo Radhika bhi mera babli hi hongi.
Vishaka for the first time in years saw a smile in her sisters eyes, smiled to her self and felt happy "main abhi jaakar maa aur kaki se bata deti hoon"
Mrinalini:nahi Vishaka...
Vishaka:Kya??
Mrinalini:Nope... we can't . they are not our dev and Radhika now. They are very much different, we can't interfere in their lives... and we can't pain mom by making her know all this.
Vishaka nodded and hugged her di crying...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dev went and hugged some one from behind, but she can't speak out for reasons unknown, and Dev was teasing her while she was struggling to get out of his arms. Dev then saw another girl who was standing behind and left this girl immediately feeling confused. they were laughing and chatting, and Dev handed his hand towards the girl asking from friendship...
Dev woke up with a jerk, he was sweating all by and looked at the clock to find the time to be 2 in the night. He looked at Rohan who was sleeping peacefully and went to fetch some water to himself. He was wondering what was the dream and who are the faces
