Next day in college... Haseena was alone in class waiting for Preeti... Anubhav entered and saw her lost...

Anubhav snapped his finger in front of her face, "Hello.. kya hua.. kya soch rahi ho... aur yaha akele kyun baithi ho.. baaki sab kaha hai"

Haseena back to senses.. "Anubhav.. sab apne apne kaam mein busy hai.. vaise Rohan college ke paas tak hi gaya hai Karishma ke saath... notes ki xerox karwane ke liye.. bas abhi aata hi hoga.....tumhari cricket practice khatam ho gayi"

Anubhav: Nahi practice abhi chal rahi hai... thodi der ka break tha to Vyom cheetah canteen chale gaye aur main yaha aa gaya..

Haseena: Kyun tumhe bhukh nahi lagi.. tum bhi kuch khaa lete... achchha vaise Preeti kaha hai.. uska break nahi hua kya...

Anubhav (mischievously): Mera lunch to yaha hai.. main canteen jaakar kya karta.. vaise Preeti abhi busy hai... lagtaa hai aaj der tak chalegi uski practice.. dekha tha maine usko jab yaha aa raha tha..

Haseena sadly: oh.. koi baat nahi.. tum lunch karo.. phir tumhe jaana bhi hai...

Anubhav picked up a roll from lunch and asked: Kyu kya hua.. Preeti se kuch kaam tha kya... mujhe bata do...

Haseena (anxiously): Nahi.. voh aisa kuch nahi... tum khao tumhe jaana bhi hai na vaapas..

Anubhav put the roll back in tiffin and asked: Kya hua.. ab jaldi se bataao varna bina khaaye hi chala jaunga... phir mat kehna agar bhukh se chakkar aa jaye..

Haseena with fake anger : tum pichle janam mein black mailer the kya... jab dekho mujhe pareshaan karte rehte ho... vaise aisi koi baat nahi hai.. bas usse thoda kaam tha... koi nahi jab voh aayegi tab kar lungi...

Anubhav (apprehensively) : aisa kya hai jo tum mujhe nahi bata sakti... well agar kuch girls ki personal baat hai to its okay par mujhe khushi hogi if you can share... you know na.. ki tum mujhse kuch bhi kah sakti ho...

Haseena (hesitantly): Voh Anubhav.. aise kuch personal nahi hai.. bas yeh books aaj library mein vaapas karni hai.. last din hai.. isliye Preeti ko dhundh rahi thi ki voh jaakar vaapas kar aaye... aur kuch nayi books issue bhi karwani hai....

Anubhav (laughing): tum paagal ho.. itni si baat ke liye itna pareshaan kyun ho rahi thi... buddhu... tumhe library ka raasta nahi pata kya..... jaao aur jaakar books vaapas kar aao...

Haseena nervously tingling her both hands.. lowered her eyes "raasta to pata hai par jaa nahi sakti... akele"

Anubhav pretty surprised: akele matlab?

Haseena just on verge of crying said slowly "voh actually Library first floor par hai aur yaha lift bhi nahi hai... toh main voh sidiyaan.. I can't climb ....... akele" Anubhav shocked to listen this as he never realized this earlier...

Anubhav (softly hold her hand and pressed ) : it's okay... isme itni pareshaan hone ki kya baat hai.. par yeh books tumne issue kaise karwayi phir...

Haseena : Voh Preeti ko bata deti hun.. vahi dhundh kar le aati hai.. jitna use samajh aata hai..

Anubhav: Par Haseena aise to notes banane mein problem hoti hogi na.. library mein aur bhi bahut books hai jo tum dekh kar hi lo toh better hoga... vaise bhi tumhe itna shauk hai library jaane ka... maine dekha tha school mein hamesha free period mein vahi milti thi....

Haseena (smiling sadly): Anubhav waqt ke saath shok aur jaruratein badal jaati hai.. har voh cheej jo hum chahe hume nahi milti... so jo hai usi ke saath khush rehna sikh lena chahiye...

Anubhav : Haseena apne man ko apni ichchhaon ko maar kar jeene mein koi samajhdari nahi hai... haan maana kabhi kabhi halaaton se majboor ho jate hai par koshish nahi chhodni chahiye...

Haseena look at him amazingly with teary eyes as he is exactly saying same what her Chachaji and Nanu always told her.. whenever they saw her in any confusion or problem ........ He wiped her tears and she looked at him... His words were having a calming effect on her.. his words forced her to believe that things can be alright in her life too.. She didn't know why but she wanted to have faith on his belief...

Haseena took a deep breath and said in requesting tone.. "Anubhav... tum le jaaoge mujhe library.. I mean koi saath rahe to mujhe darr nahi lagta..... bas akele nahi ja sakti.....

Anubhav smiled: Theek hai... par mujhe achchha lagta agar yahi baat tum mujhse haq se kehti.. par koi nahi aage se dhyan rakhna... tum mujhse koi bhi baat jo tumhare dil mein ho khul kar kah sakti ho.. bina jhijhak ke.. achchha chalo pehle lunch karo varna ek baar padai mein ghusogi to sab bhool jaogi...

They both gets calm and finish their lunch... then Anubhav took her to library and support her in climbing stairs holding her from one hand firmly and second hand on her shoulder... she always feels safe and secure with him around.....

Anubhav : Vaise ek baat bataao.. yeh sidiyon se tum kyun darti ho... I mean main samjha nahi...

Haseena (nervously): Voh pata nahi par accident ke baad se hi sidiyaan dekh kar mujhe chakkar aa jate hai... lagta hai abhi gir padungi... isiliye ghar par bhi lift hi use karti hun jyadatar... haan jab Preeti ya chachaji saath ho to unke saath manage ho jata hai..

Anubhab (smiling): Haan vaise bhi Preeti hai to tumhari sabse badi supporter... looking into her eyes.. mujhse bhi jayada........

They reached library on first floor and Anubhav left for cricket practice.. assuring he will be back in an hour to take her back.. till then she should stay here only and complete her notes.....

Preeti returned in class and surprise to see her missing... she checked with Karishma.. Santosh and Rohan but no one was aware..... they all panicked and about to go to search her when Anubhav met them and inform about her in library........ Preeti got surprised .....

Preeti : Par voh akele kaise gayi.. voh sidiyaan nahi chadti...

Anubhav: Akele nahi mere saath ... main chhod kar aaya hun use... abhi thodi der pehle..

Preeti smiled with tears: Anubhav thanks meri behen ki zindagi mein aane ke liye.... ab lagta hai dheere dheere sab pehle jaisa ho jayega.. voh phir se normal jeene lagegi.....

Anubhav (sadly): Nahi Preeti.. abhi usme bahut waqt hai... abhi to voh khul kar apne dil ki baat bhi aasani se nahi batati...... hume use thoda waqt aur dena hoga...... use force nahi kar sakte....

Rohan : Bhai... tu Haseena ko propose kyun nahi kar deta... phir shayad jaldi hi sab theek ho jaaye.....

Anubhav: Nahi.. main chahta hun ki woh pehle apne aap se khul kar jeena seekhe... mere sahare se nahi... aaj Preeti par depend hai kal mujh par hogi.…..... use khud apne raaste par chalkar manzil tak pahunchna hoga..... main sirf uske saath chalna chahta hun...

Preeti : Anubhav.. can't believe.. koi kisi se itna pyar kaise kar sakta hai... you are truly amazing...

Anubhav Smilingly: ab jiske paas duniya ki sabse pyari ladki ho.. voh itna to seekh hi jayega na.……...... Haseena mere liye anmol hai....... sabse precious.....

After leaving everyone in canteen.. he went to Library to meet her... she was sitting in a corner desk next to window and reading a book..

Anubhav: Hi Ms padaku.. ho gaye tumhare notes poore... bore to nahi hui...

Haseena (happily): main books ke saath kabhi bore nahi hoti... thank you so much itne mahino baad main library aayi hun..aur is college mein toh pehli baar ... all thanks to you...

Anubhav grinned widely : at your service madam... ab chale sab wait kar rahe hai canteen mein..

The moment they reached near stairs.. her head starts spinning and hand shivered... Anubhav shocked to see her reaction as it was not the same when they were coming upstairs... he makes his grip tightly on her to support anwod take her down slowly...... he ensurestalking with her to divert her mind from stairs..

They reach canteen and he made her sit next to him only.. They ordered food and relish it happily enjoying.. laughing on jokes and chit-chat... They attend lectures and finally they leave for their home...
