Viren's sudden voice scared Mahi. She was about to move forward when Rohit called out from the front (Rohit is the younger brother of Rocky's friend). Mahi and Rohit were good friends. Rohit asked Mahi, "What's up? Planning to kill someone today?" Mahi replied, "You never get tired of repeating the same line. If my brother finds out, he'll beat you up." Rohit, scared, said, "Mahi, you don't understand jokes. I was just kidding." Rohit asked Mahi about her first lecture and suggested they grab coffee together. Mahi teased him about having a crush on Neha. Meanwhile, Rubal teased Viren about Mahi and Rohit's conversation. Viren didn't know who Rohit was and why he was asking Mahi out for coffee. Rubal joked that Rohit might be trying to impress Mahi. Viren got defensive, and Rubal told him to muster the courage to apologize to Mahi. Rohit received an important call and asked Mahi to leave. Mahi was about to head to her department when Viren called out to her. Viren looked handsome, and Mahi was dressed elegantly too. Viren wanted to apologize for his previous behavior, but Mahi didn't want to talk to him. She warned him that if he followed her again, her brother would deal with him. Viren replied that he wanted to talk to her brother anyway. Mahi left, and Viren said, "Time will tell if you'll feed me shoes or wedding sweets. Also, I don't mind you being friends with guys, but the one who was flirting with you will face me, and I'll beat him up. You better warn him." Mahi was scared and didn't know how to respond, so she just walked away. Just then, Neha was coming from the front, who had seen Mahi and Viren together. Neha came to Mahi and said, "Oh ho, were you talking about with Majnu today?" Mahi said, "Neha, this zebra has been following me, saying that he will beat up Rohit for flirting with me and calling my brother his brother in law. I'm getting angry at myself, that zebra said so many things to my face and I didn't say anything to him. Tell me what to do, should I tell my brother or not?" Neha asked, "What did Rohit say that Majnu would beat him up?" Mahi replied, "You know his habit of talking to me frankly. When Rohit was talking to me, Zebra was standing behind." Neha said, "Then Majnu is absolutely right. This dog deserves to be beaten. He said the same thing to me yesterday." Neha acted out Rohit's lines, "'Neha, you look so beautiful today, all the girls will be jealous of you.'" Neha said, "He made me climb a chickpea tree. And after a while, I heard this dog saying the same lines to Rimpie (Neha's classmate)." Hearing this, Mahi started laughing loudly. Neha asked, "Why are you laughing?" Mahi replied, "Because he said the same things about my grandmother and Miss Mathur. He's like that, why are you feeling bad, have you started feeling something for him?" Neha said, "Are you mad? I'll never have feelings for that dog." Mahi asked, "Why are you calling him a dog?" Neha replied, "Because his actions are just like our Jackson's( neha's dog), he also starts dancing when someone calls him lovingly." Mahi said, "Let's go quickly, or Miss Maria won't let us enter." They both went to attend the lecture. After the lecture, Mahi and Neha went to have coffee. They were discussing some notes when Viren and his friends sat down at the table in front of Mahi. Mahi was focused on her notes, so Neha nudged her and signaled, "Mahi, look, Majnu is sitting at the table in front of you and staring at you." Mahi made a face and said, "He was boasting that he couldn't trap me in his web, now why is he following me? Here too, he comes and sits in front of me. Gandhi's three monkeys." Viren started reciting poetry loudly, "All the oppressions, ours... Choose and take away..." Rocky, Rohit, Mohit, and Anjum were sitting on the table behind Viren and were also appreciating his poetry. Neha said, "Just look at him, he looks so handsome and is staring at you." Mahi thought to herself, "If my brother finds out that he's reciting poetry for me, he'll break his mouth." Viren continued, "All the oppressions, ours... Choose and take away... It's better to scold than to be angry." Mahi looked down, feeling embarrassed. Viren commented on her lowered gaze, "Their eyes have attacked my heart... Ah, I've fallen in love with their lowered gaze." Mahi was getting nervous, unsure of where to look. Then Rubal said, "Bro, once more." Everyone was enjoying Viren's poetry, and there was another person who had been staring at Rocky for a while, Seerat had also noticed Rocky. Rocky recited a poem, "Some lines from me to my darling...". He was looking at Seerat, who was sitting at the table to Mahi's right. Seerat had no idea that Rocky was reciting poetry for her, nor did Rocky know that Seerat's father Mahi's father's PA. Rocky said, "One, she's beautiful, two, she's shy... What can I tell you, my friends, how quietly they steal hearts." Everyone started cheering, and Seerat looked down, feeling embarrassed. Viren was staring at Mahi, who was looking down, trying to focus on her notes. Viren continued reciting poetry, "The veil was lifted from their face... Their beauty was unveiled." Suddenly, Mahi's gaze met Viren's eyes. Viren continued, "When our eyes met, my heart became restless." Rubal whispered to Viren, "Enough, brother. She must have understood by now. What's wrong with you today?" Sanjay said to himself, "Looks like today he'll get shoes himself and make us eat them too." Viren whispered, "So what should I do? You tell me. I've gone crazy. Whether I'm eating, drinking, studying, or even sleeping, when I close my eyes, her innocent face appears before me. It's like an LED screen is stuck in front of my eyes, broadcasting her face all day. My life has become a mess. I don't understand if this is attraction or something else." Viren looked at Rubal and Sanjay, "You bastards, give me some advice. Why are you sitting quietly? Speak up!" Rubal, with a slice of food in his mouth, said to Viren, "Brother, your ticket has been confirmed. Congratulations, you've fallen in love." Viren became serious, "So what do I do now?" Rubal replied, "Now it's your duty to read love stories, novels, and poetry like a true lover, because if you express your feelings, you'll get beaten up. Remember her brother, who has thrashed not just a few people in the campus, like us, I think our turn will come soon." Viren said, "I'm interested in her, I mean Mahi. She doesn't even look at me. I'm not that bad-looking." Rubal said, "You fool, she's shy, that's why doesn't look at you." Mahi had her next lecture, so she left. Viren and his friends also went to attend their lecture. Their classes were opposite each other, so when Mahi's class ended, she came out of the room with Rohit and started teasing Neha. After a while, Viren also came out of the room with his friends. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Mahi and Rohit. Both were laughing and talking. Viren walked ahead, humming a song. Rubal continued the song, "Don't kill us with your cruelty, oh beloved...". Rohit said to Mahi, "I think he's commenting on you." Neha also came near and said, "Who else would he comment on? She's so pretty, it's obvious to comment." Neha excitedly said, "I wish someone did this for me. I wouldn't take a minute to say yes." Rohit said, "We're here for your service." Neha made a face and said, "Rimpie will feel bad." Rohit seriously said, "You just say yes, I'll stop talking to everyone." Mahi and Neha were fighting, so they didn't hear Rohit's words. Mahi said to Neha, "You wait, I'll tell Anjum brother." Neha said, "You're crazy." Mahi said, "Let's go quickly, my brother has been calling me." Rohit went to get the car from the parking. Neha sat in the car with her brother Anjum to go home. Rocky was waiting for Mahi outside the gate. Mahi was also walking quickly towards Rocky. Just then, Viren shouted from behind, "Bye!" Mahi turned around and saw Viren telling Rubal, "I love you, Rubal. Come on time because I can't live without seeing you. Forgive me, I'm sorry. See you tomorrow." Mahi quickly left and went to Rocky. Viren told Rubal, "This girl is so scared. She runs away from me as if I'm going to steal her purse." Rubal said, "Not her purse, but her heart." The next day, Viren stopped Mahi and said, "Mahi, can we talk?" Mahi replied, "No, I don't like talking to strangers like you." Viren said, "Wow, she's so arrogant, doesn't even want to talk to me." Rubal said, "You spoke to her in such a bad way, and still, she talked to you with respect. If I were in her place, I would have beaten you up right there." Viren said, "Yes, why not? Come on, you hit me first. I made a mistake, so what can I do? I'm apologizing, but she's not accepting it. You tell me what to do." To be continued...
