Sona came back home & sat near her dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror. She was still blushing.
Sona: Iss dard-e-dil ki sifaarish ab kar de koi yaha … ke mil jaaye isse wo … wo … Elena?
Elena: Hi! Sona
Sona’s POV: Oh no! I forgot Elena’s still staying with me… Mar gayi
Sona: Hi Ele…
Elena: Kya chal raha hai? (What’s going on?)
Sona: Syria me war & India me fogg chal raha hai
Elena: Shut Up Sona & spill the beans…
Sona: I guess mom & maasi have made fish today … We’ll get beans tomorrow
Elena: Sona
Sona: Elena … Wow that rhymed
Elena: Bolo bolo
Sona: Fine … I am in love
Elena: Love !! Kab, kaha, kaise, kisse? (When, What, How, With whom?)
Sona: I love Dev … truly, madly, completely… head over heels … When? Why? Where? Mat poochna bus I just love him
Elena stared at Sona with wide eyes for a minute but when she recovered from her shock she jumped & hugged Sona
Elena: Congrats!! What about Dev?
Sona: What what about Dev?
Elena: Does he love you?
Sona: How do I know?
Elena: Duffer! Ask him.
Sona: Are you mad? I’ll go & propose him … No no no
Elena: Yes yes yes
Sona: Accha fine … but not now
Elena: When then? Arey kaal kare so aaj kar aaj kare so ab pal me parlay howat hai bahuri karegi kab balak?
Sona: I don’t know … what will I say?
Elena: I love you
Sona: Seedha I love you?
Elena: You love I… Love I u bhi bol sakti hai …
Sona: Arey … I will but not now… after boards & entrance gets over
Elena: Late latif…
Sona: I’m not ready now … Waise … What about you & Vicky?
Elena: Me & who? That monkey man? …
Sona: Yes … there is some spark between the two of you
Elena: Spark !?!?!
Sona: Spark.
Elena: To hell with your spark … give me one chance … I’ll kill him … I’ll squeeze him … I’ll shoot him …
Sona: Bas meri gada dhari bheem shanti
Just then Asha knocked at the door…
Asha: Sona your kaka has sent a letter
Sona: Letter?
Asha: Yes he’s saying that he is trapped by some MAA … in Roorkee …
Sona: Roorkee? Wasn’t he going to Haridwar?
Asha: That I don’t know but your dadi is going to save him (Sona’s Maashi’s MIL not that Dadi who tortured her but you can imagine that lady only who plays Sona’s dadi on screen)
… One more thing Bijoy was saying that if he finds Ele tour & travels who had planned this trip he’ll sue them … he won’t leave the person who called him alive… Do you know about it?
Elena & Sona stood there in silence. When Asha went away Sona asked Elena
Sona: What have you done?
Elena: Nothing… He got trapped by some Maa … What can I do in that? … You won’t tell this to anyone… otherwise
Sona: Otherwise?
Elena: I’ll broadcast your love story in the entire school
Sona: Black mailer
Elena: Jo samajh lo
Sona picked up her pillow & ran after Elena. Soon their conversation turned into a pillow fight.

Assembly time at school…
Lady Bacchan: It has been observed…
Elena: Why does she speak like a science book?
Lady Bacchan continued: A lot of students have been misusing the backyard of the canteen … They don’t want to stand in the line in the canteen so they go back & ask for food which is unfair for the ones who stand in the queue & some people have made it a bunking ground … So we have reached the conclusion that no student … MIND YOU NO ONE should be seen there for any purpose
Jatin: She’s hinting towards us
Vicky: Don’t worry oh Jatin … apna yaar to headboy hai boy hai boy hai
Sona: Don’t do anything that will put Dev in trouble unnecessarily.
Elena(whispers):Oho protective protective… Badi chinta ho rahi hai
Jatin: Did you say something?
Elena: Chinta ta Chita Chinta ta ta ta
Their class teacher, Mrs Gunjan Malhotra (GM) slapped Elena at the back of her head.
Teacher: No more trouble … all of you … there are only few months of school left so please don’t put yourself in any trouble … As it is you have done enough to come in the good books of Lady Bacchan
Jatin: Lady Bacchan?
GM: As if only you all can give nicknames? Sonakshi…
Sona: Yes ma’am
GM: You have to report to the auditorium right now … Take Dev with you … You have to host the ISLP program … You’ll miss my period today
Sona: Wahi to chahiye tha
GM: Did you say something?
Sona: No … no … not at all
The day passed as usual. Devakshi were hosting the event. Everything was going smoothly.
Sona: It’s break time now… I’m hungry
Dev: We have nothing to eat except my brain
Sona: How long will it take to finish the program?
Dev: Just this last chief guest who has to give a speech … Go & announce his coming on stage … I’m tired
Sona did as directed. The chief guest came on stage & started his speech
Chief Guest: I won’t take much time I’ll just say two lines on ‘Shishtachar’
Dev: Which achar?
Sona: Shishtachar … discipline
Dev: Ohhh !!!
CG: Now two lines on Brashtachar….
Dev: Done… Now I’ll go & speak the vote of thanks
CG: Two lines on Mansik Atyachar
Sona: What? two lines on?
Dev: What he’s doing to us … Mental torture
CG: Two lines on Bhai Bhatija waad …
Dev: Good night Sonakshi …
Saying so Dev sat on a chair back stage. Sona sat on the chair next to him.
The chief guest went on saying two lines about everything on Earth. Sona didn’t realize when she slept resting her head on Dev’s shoulder.
Dev’s POV: Should I be angry on the chief guest for boring all of us to death or should I go & hug him muaah boring uncle for giving me this moment …uh zyada ho gaya … Look at the way she is sleeping… unaware of the surrounding, unaware of what she’s doing.
Dev kept his hand over hers.
Sonakshi you are different … completely different from whoever I’ve met till date… Your aura is soothing,curing … You’ll end up becoming an excellent doctor & I am already becoming your patient… You are so innocent, so humble … This strand of your hair which refuses to stay in its place is so lucky… It always gets the opportunity to caress your face …
Meri duniya mein tha
Mai apne hi dhyan me
Kuch to badal gaya hai mere aasman mein
Aise kyu kaise kyu kya ho gaya
Jo khoobsurat sa dil ko ho gaya
Pehli dafa hai ki mujhmein tu chalka hai
Mere rango mein kuch rang hai
Tere jaise bhi
Kuch Rang Pyar ke aise bhi
Kuch Rang Pyar ke aise bhi
Do I … Do I … Am I in love with Sonakshi … Ishq wala love?
Just then Natasha came there & saw what was happening
Natasha: Uhhh …. Aaah … I’ll come back later
Listening to her voice Sona woke up
Sona’s POV: Isshhh … What are you doing Sona? Tumi eakdom Boka… Get up
Sona straightened up & pulled that strand of hair back.
Natasha: Just came here to tell you that your friends have been caught by me hanging out in the backyard of the canteen & Lady Bacchan is taking good care of them.
Dev: Ab kya kar diya in logo ne … Sona you do the vote of thanks … I’ll see what the matter is
That same strand of hair came back on Sona’s face… Dev couldn’t control & put it back in its position.
Dev: Uhhh … I’ll look into the matter
Sona & Natasha looked at him. The only difference is that Sona was surprised while Natasha was shocked.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
In Lady Bacchan’s room Vicky, Jatin & Elena were waiting for Lady Bacchan to come
Jatin: I told you Vicky not to go the backyard.
Vicky: How am I supposed to now that Natasha will come & catch us?
Elena: What will we say?
Jatin: Don’t know… fir se detention nahi yaar
Dev enters there.
Dev: Chain se nahi raha jaata?
Jatin & Elena: All Vicky’s fault
Dev: Stand here quietly … I’ll come & save you
Vicky: Okay Boss
Dev goes out of the room & waits for Lady Bacchan to come.
Lady Bacchan: Welcome! Welcome! My favorite students…
Vicky: Ma’am we should welcome you… you have come inside
LB: Yeah!! Thanks for correcting me Mr Tripathi … Why not welcome your parents to the school
Jatin: Ma’am actually…
LB: Speak … only when you’re spoken to
Elena: Sorry ma’am
LB: Good … What will you have? Tea,coffee,samosa?
Vicky: Cold coffee with samosas … two for me & one each for Elena & Vicky
The two of them stared at him
Vicky: What? Okay two each for both of them also.
LB: I’m happy Mr. Tripathi that you are feeling at home already.
Vicky: Thank You Ma’am
Elena: Duffer
LB: Make yourselves comfortable because it will take time to type your detention slips.
Jatin: Detention?
LB: What else are you expecting? The best student trophy?
Just then Dev knocked at the door
Dev: May I come in ma’am?
LB: Yes sure Mr. Dixit… It’s a shame that the headboy has such company
Dev: Ma’am there is some misunderstanding … They were actually not bunking
LB: When did I say that they were bunking? What is there crime Mr. Dixit … can you please explain?
Dev: Ma’am actually ….
LB: Actually the three of them were? Continue
Dev: Uhh
LB: They just went to the backyard of the canteen to get food illegally … IT IS A SHAME … THAT THE HEADBOY IS DEFENDING HIS FRIENDS WITHOUT ANY REASON… DO YOU WANT TO GET DE-BADGED?
Sona just reached there in time & knocked at the door
Sona: May I come in ma’am?
LB: The 5th member of our famous five … Come in Ms. Bose
Sona: Ma’am … This is a note from Yammu… I mean Yamnotri ma’am … she had sent Jatin, Vicky & Elena to get the boxes of refreshment for the participants of today’s events but Natasha without any investigation caught them & brought them here…
LB: Is that so? Show me the note? … Hmm … fine you can leave… & Dev don’t jump into things without knowing the real matter
Dev: Sorry ma’am
LB: That’s better … If you find Natasha send her I need to talk to her…
Vicky: Natasha ka to zindagi barbaad ho giya … Hahahahaha …
LB: Mr. Tripathi … I want an essay on my table tomorrow in your handwriting about the correct norms of when, where & how to speak … which should be no less than 1000 words
Vicky: 1000 words
LB: Kam hai?
Vicky: No…
LB: Enjoy Mr Tripathi … Now everyone can laugh at him
Everyone did laugh at him.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
That night Sona opened her phone, there were many messages in her phone where everyone was mocking Vicky in both her class’ whatsapp group & in her friend’s group. One message caught her special attention
Elena: Shut up Vicky! Had it not been for Devakshi all of us would be having a wonderful time with Lady Bacchan
Sona read the message & smiled
Sona’s POV: Devakshi … Dev & Sonakshi … That’s a wonderful word Elena
