Preeta saw him coming towards that empty class room. She cursed her fate so bad again, but again! Of no use.

He came towards the class room and saw preeta in that class room, alone.

At first, he was mesmerized seeing her. Seeing him, her face turned like a cute kitten Making her look more cute. And her look was already so elegant, simple yet sooo beautiful.

But, he took his eyes off her before she notices and walked towards the classroom.

"Tum? Yaha kya kr rhi ho?" He said. Preeta looked at him nervously and said,

"Wo...wo actually..Karan! M.." preeta said nervously.

"Karan sir!" He said sternly and preeta nodded.

"Yes..Karan sir!" Preeta said.

"Good! Now, go out of this classroom!" He said sternly, again and preeta immediately rushed outside the class.

As soon as she reached out, preeta bumped into her childhood best friend, Prachi Mehra.

"Oye! Tu andar kya kr rhi thi? Andar to tera bajarbattu Gaya h na!" Prachi said. Preeta glared her.

"Usse bajarbattu sirf m bula skti hu! Smjhiii! Sirf m!" Preeta said angrily, pointing towards herself. Prachi chuckled.

"Theek h meri maa! Mere liye to wo waise bhi karan sir h!" Prachi said.

"Wassup pretty ladies!!" A boy came from behind and their attention diverted to him.

"Ranbir!" Preeta and prachi whinned.

He was none other than Ranbir Kohli, their another best friend. They three are always the best gang.

"Aree! Tum log se meri nakli girlfriend banne ka favour nhi mangne aaya! Iss prachi wrachi se to bilkul nhi! Jab dekho tab utavli rehti h ye meri girlfriend banne ke liye!" Ranbir said glaring prachi. Prachi too glared him and preeta glared them both.

"Oh hello! Hum ehsaan krte h tum par tumhari nakli girlfriend banke! Unn chipku bimbos se bachate h tumhe! Wrna tumhari girlfriend meri jutti bhi na bane" Prachi said angrily. Ranbir was about to start again when preeta shouted,

"Enough! Stop your Pickering! Ranbir what's the matter? Aaj pehle lecture m aapke darshan kaise hue?" Preeta asked sweetly and Ranbir smiled.

"Wo actually! Hum sab ka pehla lecture cancel ho gya h! To tum dono se puchne aaya tha ki cafeteria chalogi?" Ranbir asked. Preeta and prachi looked at each other and then nodded.

•••

Preeta, prachi and Ranbir were sitting in the cafeteria. Prachi was sipping coffee, ranbir was munching burger and preeta was eating sandwiches.

"To preeta.." Ranbir started and preeta and prachi looked at him.

"Tu abhi bhi uss akdu aur adiyal Karan Luthra ko hi simp kr rhi h?" Ranbir asked. Prachi burst out laughing while preeta glared him.

"M unhe simp nhi krti. Pyaar krti hu unse!" Preeta said glaring Ranbir.

"Kya dikhta h yaar uss gussel ghode m tujhe? Bhaav dena chod, wo tujhe dekhta bhi nhi h!" Ranbir said. Preeta looks down sadly and prachi gave Ranbir a glare.

"Preeta! Ranbir ke kehne ka tareeka galat tha! But wo sahi keh rha h! Tujhe pta h na, Karan sir tujhe kabhi accept nhi karege" Prachi said softly holding preeta's shoulders. Preeta nodded lightly.

"I know! Aur m unse kuch expect bhi nhi kr rhi. Bs 1 saal unke saath same college m padhna h! Fir m unse kabhi nhi milugi. Bs jo pehli mulaqaat m unhone m mujhpar jaadu kr diya na! Wo Nasha nhi Jaa rha..aur shayad jayega bhi nhi!" Preeta said Keeping her head over prachi's shoulders.

Ranbir side hugged her from a side and she smiled.

FLASHBACK STARTS

•••

It was preeta's first day of college. As any fresher, she was also hell nervous. Not only for the first day in college, but also for the ragging.

She was standing outside the college and was hell hell nervous. Finally, taking a deep breath, she steps inside the college.

She entered and saw a completely different environment from that of school. She could see many students were nervous as she was and then she could see a smirk on the face of some students, they were obviously seniors.

Preeta gulped seeing the environment but decided not to show it on her face, but she was preeta and this won't work in her case. How much she tries, she will look freak out if she is.

She asked a genuine worker about her classroom. They directed her and she was about to go when,

"Heyy you! Pinky!" A voice reached her ears and she looked around to see a group of boy were looking at her direction and their intensions, didn't seem good.

Preeta gulped and looked here and there to see to whom they were calling.

"Ms. Pink suit! Aap! Aapko hi bulaya Gaya h!" The boy said again looking at preeta with a smirk. Preeta widened her eyes and pointed towards herself. The boy nodded with a smirk.

"Ab aap khud aayegi ya m aap tak aane ka kasht karu miss?" The boy asked. Preeta started moving towards that group of boys.

"Hmm! Kehna padega! Bahut fursat m banaya h bhagwaan ne aapko...Miss?" The boy said checking her out from top to bottom. Preeta looked here and there nervously.

"Pree...Preeta Arora!" Preeta said. The boy smirked.

"Veer sehgal!" Veer said and forwarded his hand towards her for a shake hand. But preeta stood still and didn't forwarded her hand. Veer smirked and took his hand back.

"College ka pehla din h aapka miss preeta?" Veer asked and preeta nodded innocently, totally unaware of his intentions.

"Bahut badhiya! Hum h aapke seniors! Ab aapko to pta hi hoga seniors kya krte h pehle din" veer said smirking and preeta's heart was beating so fast because she could easily sense from his words that the upcoming words are definitely not good for her.

"So come on miss preeta!" Veer said and moved a step closer to her. Preeta moved back uncomfortably.

"Kiss me!" Veer said huskily and preeta looked at him in horror. Her mind stopped working. He again took a step towards her and she moved back again.

"Noo! M..m...nhi...nhi karugi aisa!" Preeta said after gaining some courage. Veer smirked.

"Theek h! Agar aap nhi karegi! To m kr luga aapko kiss! Par kiss to ho kr rahegi!" Veer said and preeta looked at him angrily.

But he ignored it and started moving towards her and held her hairs harshly. He looked at preeta, tears were flowing from her eyes. He smirked and was leaning towards her when,

"Veer stop it!" A loud voice came, as if someone shouted angrily. Veer left preeta and preeta looked at the direction to see who said that,

"Karan! Tune mujhe roka kyu?" Veer said. And yes, the person was revealed to be Karan.

"What do you mean by roka kyu? Haalat dekh rha h uss ladki ki and u simply can't force urself on a girl. I won't allow, bhale hi tu mera best friend tab bhi! Get that!" Karan said angrily and veer nodded, looking down.

Preeta looked at Karan who was scolding veer angrily. She finally couldn't control herself anymore and burst out crying. She kept her hand on her mouth to control her sobs.

The sound of her crying diverted the attention of Karan from veer and he turned towards her to see her crying badly. He angrily looked at veer and he looked down simply.

"Preeta!!!" Prachi and Ranbir came from behind and they saw their best friend crying in front of some unknown boys.

But before they could move towards her, Karan went to her.

"Dekho! Mere friend ki taraf se m tumse maafi mangta hu. Aage se tumhare saath koi badtameezi nhi karega. And, abhi bhi u r safe. Now don't cry okay" Karan said softly to preeta. The way he was talking with her was totally the opposite of the way he was talking with veer. She looked at him with tears and nodded slowly.

"U guys! Tum dono iske dost ho..to please isse class m leke jao aur shaant karao" karan said to Ranbir and prachi and they nodded. They began taking preeta with them when she stopped and walked back to Karan.

Karan, was facing his back to her. She patted his back and he looked back to see the girl he saved 2 minutes back from his best friend, was now looking stable.

His eyes softened for a microsecond and then again turned into cold ones.

"Thank you. Thank you so much karan!" Preeta said with a lot of admiration in her eyes. Karan nodded, not meeting eyes with her. Preeta began walking back when he called her.

"I m your senior! So it's Karan sir for you!" Karan said sternly and preeta nodded smilingly.

Coz she fell for him already.

She went back to prachi and Ranbir and went with them towards their class, but but! Not before looking back at his retreating figure and smiling at it.

LASHBACK ENDS

•••

Prachi snapped her fingers in front of preeta who blinked her eyes rapidly to come back to real world.

"Back to earth maddam! Chal 2nd lecture ka time ho gya" Prachi said picking her bag up. Preeta too got up and the trio started walking to their class.

"Waise Aaj kal Karan apne uss best friend Veer se kuch jyada ukhda ukhda nhi rehne laga" Ranbir said, prachi shrugged her shoulders uninterestedly and preeta nodded, while they were going to class.

"Ha! Ye to Maine bhi notice Kiya h!" Preeta said.

By the time, they reached their class and heard some sounds from inside the class, as if someone was shouting on someone.

They looked at each other and then ran inside the class to see Karan was shouting on a girl.

Her back was facing them but they recognised her immediately. Preeta looked at prachi and prachi looked at Ranbir, all shared confused glances.

They all diverted their eyes back to Karan and that girl and saw Karan was glaring them with bloodshot eyes. They all widened their eyes and ran from the class immediately.

They moved to the other side of corridor and saw all their fellow classmates were also there, waiting for Karan to leave the class.

"Oye wo to Karan sir ka so called pyaar Natasha thi na?" Ranbir said and prachi, preeta nodded.

"Veer sir se ukhde ukhde rehte the wo alag baat thi, I mean best friends m chalta h! But ab ye Natasha par bhi chillane lage" Prachi said rolling her eyes.

"Par ek baat notice ki..! Aaj kal Natasha Karan ke saath Kam aur veer sir ke saath jyada dikhti h..mujhe to lg rha h kuch hua h inn teeno ke beech. Par kya?" Preeta said confusingly.

"Waise Jis din Natasha ne inhe propose kiya tha, uss din to bada bol rhi thi, he is mine aur he is the best blah blah! Aaj maza aa rha h! Aaj wo best badhiya class le rha h uski" Ranbir said, chuckling.

"Seriously? Wo proposal tha? Jee nhi! Announcement thi wo ki 'Karan mera h!'" prachi said.

"Par Karan sir ne bhi agree Kiya tha. To proposal hi hua na" Ranbir said. Prachi nodded.

While preeta was trying her best not to remember that incident, that one incident when her pure and innocent heart suffered the first heart break of her life ever.

•••

FLASHBACK STARTS

•••

It was an incident of few months back.

After loving Karan secretly for about two years, preeta finally decided to confess her love to him. And she got the best opportunity, the best day to do so, Valentine's day!

Preeta got ready in her favourite white colour and was looking pretty as always. But one thing was making her look more special today, That one smile which wasn't leaving her face and that glow, the glow of love.

The atmosphere was feeling more lovely to her today, everything was feeling like a fairy tale, though she never expected anything from him but she herself wanted to live her love.

While walking to the bus stop, she was twirling around happily. The pleasant breeze was blowing making her hairs sway like in movies.

She finally reached the college and smiled more seeing the college. She could see the young couples wandering around, some khullam khulla and some chupke chupke. She smiled seeing them.

But her eyes were searching for only one person, for whom her heart beats, in front of whom no one else is visible to her and no one else can take his place in her heart, that one person.

"Kaha ho aap Karan!" Preeta said in mind, searching for him in whole college but his traces were also not visible to her.

Suddenly, there was an announcement from the college control room,

"So my dear college mates! This is Natasha Khurrana here!" Preeta recognised her voice, she was the girl with attitude, who doesn't sees anyone in front of her and preeta really don't likes her, Natasha Khurrana, Batchmate of Karan! Both were in 4th year!

(Present day Karan is in last year of his post graduation and preeta in the last year of her graduation, so karan is in 5th year and preeta in 3rd year)

"So today i m going to announce my love for karan Luthra! He is mine girls! Keep your eyes away from him!" As soon as Natasha's voice reached preeta's ears, she frozed. But then she thought that Karan hadn't said anything so this might be just one sided, but

"Yeah! I m all hers!" Karan's voice came and preeta's heart broked into million pieces.

Tears filled in her eyes but she didn't let them fall.

From that day, preeta never thought that Karan can ever be her. But this didn't stopped her stupid heart to love her bajarbattu like anything.

But it was all one sided.

•••

FLASHBACK ENDS

•••

Preeta came back from the memory and looked all were still standing.

Then she saw Karan coming out of the class and his eyes were still full of rage. All gulped, but he went straight away not glancing anybody.

Then came out a smirking Natasha. She too went. All the students simply went to class but prachi, preeta and Ranbir looked at each other and glanced at them with confused looks but then headed to the class.

•••

A tired preeta came back from the college and was about to go in her room when her father called her,

"Preeta beta! Idhar aana! Tumse ek baat krni h!" Raghuveer said and preeta looked at him confusingly.

Screen fades on preeta's confused face.
