Vani and Ateef played their games but now, Vani was in my court. Hahahhaa...I planned to accept Vani, And now she has revealed all her secrets. She revealed how Ateef and her planned to exchange numbers, how she told all the secrets of Wajeeha to Ateef. How, Ateef had lied about Wajeeha that they both are dating. It's a part of his plan she said and when I asked which plan, She probably didn't know. I probably made out that Vani is not that smart, she was acting like a puppet and Ateef had told her and promised her that he will play some games and make Aleem accept you. It just took some sentences starting with darling, baby and sweetheart and Vani had already vomited out everything. I was ready to play some boyfriend-girlfriend games with vani for some time to make everything fall in place.

The cunning Aleem which was residing inside me had million plans and was planning to imply them accordingly. I firstly explained Vani, that I'll be the Romeo, and you give your best to be my Juliet. She went all happy and began memorizing her dialogues in front of me. At some places she was doing really well, I then convinced her to change her expressions adversely at some points as I found out that she did not actually understand the script. I made out that she can never actually get selected as Juliet but, I wanted to assure that Wajeeha will be the only one getting selected as Juliet. This was quite tough I was sure that she was participating as informed by Vani but, I did not know about her acting skills. I do not know much about her actually. The little I know about her makes me feel for her this way. But, Now I would not even participate in the auditions if she wasn't doing well. I asked Vani to delete Wajeeha's number and also her photo from Ateef's mobile and handed over the Rose which I had got to convince vani. She was blushing, acting crazy, like a school girl crush.

Things were actually sorted. I even asked Vani to tell Ateef how, "Wajeeha has decided to not give her auditions because, she wants me and Aleem to perform as Romeo and juliet". I knew Ateef would ask various questions to her later, so, I asked her to inform Ateef how, Vani and I are dating and everyone knows about it. I knew Ateef very well, he will rather give up if Wajeeha would not participate.

Ateef would not come for Auditions now, Vani was anyhow not acting well. I was only worried about Wajeeha and her auditions now.

I took a look at my script, and then planned to go to number 12 whom I found out to be Wajeeha's friend. I had to pass from their class for nearly 8 times continuously and then I see this girl passing from her classroom and I shouted, 

"Number 12!" 

She turned back with a weird expression on her face and then was again turning back as if nothing happened. when again I called her,

"number 12, Yes, you" Pointing out my finger towards her.

She stood frozen for 5 minutes and then, came walking towards me.

she pointed the index finger of her right hand towards herself and asked' "ME?"

"yes, you! i have some things to discuss. Just come with me for 5  minutes." I said

She said okay and we went to the nearest staff room, as all the lecturers were busy with various activities.

"Look, I just know you are Wajeeha's friend. sorry for calling you this way. can I know your name?" I started.

"Yes, I am Rabiya. Tell me what has happened?" She asked seriously.

"Actually, Ateef..." I did not know where to start from.

"You just go ahead. I am listening." She assured.

"Ateef will not be the romeo now. And, there were some rumors being spread by him and there were some pictures of Wajeeha near her." I paused.

"Complete it. Do not stop." She asked with a wide smile on her face. Strange I thought. I then thought Should i actually share it with her? 

"Are you trustworthy?" I asked.

"I am sorry to ask this but, this is something really secretive for me." I explained.

"If it is something about my friend then, yes. You can share it with me without any doubt. I will also help you out if I can" She assured.

"So, Vani and Ateef were teamed up and they were both planning and plotting against me and Wajeeha. I  got to know everything about them now and I have cleared ways. I have deleted all the pictures of Wajeeha from his mobile and even her number and that too through the help of vani itself.  I faked some emotions and accepted Vani for the time being. Because, that was the only way I could help Wajeeha come out of all this. Now, I just want you to tell her that Vani  has deleted everything and she is the one who did all this. I will convince Vani regarding it. And if Wajeeha asks anything else tell that Vani and I are dating so, She convinced me to reach out to Ateef's mobile somehow and get things done. "I was speaking and speaking and speaking.

"This is happening for real? How bitchy is she? Vani did this?  And, Why are you trying to  hide it from Wajeeha?" She was another crack and hard to  handle but, the main important question was not yet  asked.

"You have given me a promise and we both have to abide to whatever we say. And, lastly, Ateef will  not give his auditions and I am giving the auditions. I didn't want Wajeeha to feel uncomfortable with him. I found out that Wajeeha is giving her auditions, vani informed me. How are her preparations going?" I asked her.

she narrowed both her eyes and started to stare at me continuously, "Why are you so worried about Wajeeha? " She asked and kept raising her eyebrows continuously. I found it funny and then I said, "I have started to like her!" I smiled.

I didn't know why I said that but, She started laughing and I too joined her after 2 minutes.

"What's your last question Mr.Rude?" She asked.

"Mr.rude?" I questioned.

"That's what Wajeeha called you in the beginning." She replied and giggled again. I felt kinda shy but, then asked her,

"Will Wajeeha get selected as Juliet?" I asked.

"For sure. I can even bet. She has won many state level  competitions. Do not worry." She was laughing after every small pause.

"I can trust you?" I asked again.

"100%. I always wanted to be in the Crime investigation department for this feeling which I'm witnessing right now." She laughed again.

" okay, so let's get started officer?" I asked with a genuine smile.

"My respect for you has grown in leaps and bounds. I trust you. Let's get started yes!" She winked.

A/N: WOW! What next then? Will they win the inter college level competition. how is gonna be? What is Ateef's reaction? Where  is Khateeja?
