Anuj was really happy that he finally got to know that his dream girl's name is Anupama! After telling him the name, Devika had to leave as some senior had called her for help.
"Dekha tha maine tumhe kab se,
Kwab me kabhi, kabhi kabhi sapne me,
Aaj dekha hai tumhe aapni inn ankho se,
Naachte hue, muskurate hue, gum hue aapne aap me,
Dekha tha maine tumhe kab se.."
He whispered this to himself and kept on looking at her. After a little while, a boy was carrying some long pipes to clean up the back stage in order to make space for the performers to stand. He was moving with the pipes smoothly until, by mistake, a boy collided with him and one of the pipes which were in his hands hit Anuj's stomach and brought him into reality.
Anuj: Ouch!
Boy: Sorry sorry!
Collider: I'm really sorry, mera pair fisal gaya tha..
Anuj: Nahi..koi baat nahi..
It was paining. Poor Anuj held onto his stomach and went around to so the work. After a little while, he felt better and left his stomach. They all organized the show and sat down to watch it as the senior's took charge behind the scenes.
Devika: Abhi iske baad Anupama ki baari hai! I'm soo excited!!
Anuj became more eager to watch her dance. When she used to walk, it seemed as if she was dancing and floating on the air, he was curious to know how beautiful she would look when she actually danced! There was no doubt in his mind that Anupama would be the best dancer there is but he wanted to see her!
Then came Anupama's dance sequence. She danced flawlessly and Anuj's eyes consumed all of it. She danced on the song 'Hawa Hawai'. His expressions were sheer indicators of the fact that he was head over heels in love with Anupama and that he was now a die hard fan of her dance! Well atleast till now Devika was able to see the signs! After the dance was over, Anuj was the first one to start clapping and then the entire crowd clapped. Devika noticed how Anuj was smiling looking at Anupama with adoring eyes. Anupama left the stage and Anuj traced her exit from the stage. Devika elbowed him softly but because of the hit be got from the pipe it was very painful.
Anuj: Ouch! Devika!!
Devika: Anuj, kya chal raha hai?
Anuj: kuch..kuch bhi toh nahi!
Devika: Chupane ki koshish karlo Anuj Kapadia par mujhse nahi chupa sakte! Maine dekh liya! Aur waise bhi tumhare aankho ne sab kuch bata diya hai mujhe!
Anuj: Kya.. kya bol rahi hai!
Devika: Yeh hi bol rahi hu ki lagta hai ki tumhe, yani ki Anuj Kapadia ji aapko meri dost Anupama se woh ho gaya hai!!
Anuj: Kya 'woh' ho gaya hai?
Devika: Pyaaaaaar..Ishk!
Anuj: Kya.. kya kuch bhi!
Devika: Kya kuch bhi?! Sab dekh sakti hu!
Anuj: Kya dekh sakti hai?
Devika: Tumhare aankho me meri dost ke liye pyar!!
Anuj: ptfff..kuch bhi!
Devika: okay, mai toh sooch rahi thi ki mai tumhe Anu ke baare me kuch bata du par..
Anuj: Arre nahi nahi! Batao n..
Anuj realised that his desperation was vividly visible now. He blushed and Devika started teasing him. The competition ended and Anupama won the first price and Anuj was the most happiest person in the entire hall. He quickly found a quite place and opened his diary. He penned out his feelings:
Akhir kaar yeh din aa hi gaya,
Kismet se naam hai aaj tumhara hai jaana,
Dil ko kehna hai jo woh khud ko aaj keh hi dala,
Akhir kaar yeh din aa hi gaya.
Uska naam hai bilkul uss hi ke jaisa,
Lajawab, khoobsoorat koi na uske jaisa,
Dil ne aaj jaan liya hai 'Anupama' hai naam uska,
Thikana, pata aur jam iss zindagi ka.
Anuj looked up and smiled. He drew a small rough sketch of Anupama on the right hand side of the page and closed the diary. He got up from there and left for his class. The day ended as usual for other, but for Anuj, today he got a name to the unknown person he dreams of; on the other hand, Anupama was thrilled to show her mother and brother her achievement!

Anuj reached his home and after eating his food, he went to his study room to complete his homework. His parents had noticed that he was a little lost and exceptionally happy, but didn't know what and how to ask him.
Anuj was doing his homework when he started to scribble out of being bored of solving math problems.
He first was about to write 'Anupama' and had indeed started writing as well. He had written:
A
N
U
this is when Mukku flung open the door and indicated her entrance to Anuj. Out of panic he wrote:
J
Mukku: Bhai! Kya kar rahe ho?!
Anuj: Kuch bhi toh nahi!
Mukku: Aapna naam kyu likha hai? Koi celebrity thodi ho aap ki apna hi naam itne sundar se likho!
Anuj then realized that his cover up made his name. When Mukku left after troubling Anuj, he realized,
Anuj: (to himself)
Tu mere naam me chupi huyi thi, aur mujhe abhi se pehle tak khabar nahi thi,
Mera ek hissa tere naam se juda hua hai, aur tujhe ya mujhe iss baat ki khabar nahi thi..
Arre wah, Anuj me hi Anupama hai..bas ek 'j' aa gaya hai naam alag karne ke liye..bas ek 'j'..(very excited) Anuj Kapadia..chal ab homework bhi kar le!!
Anuj continued with his homework. And later went off to sleep on time.

On the other hand, Anupama came back home after visiting a mandir. She came and hugged her mother tight.
Kanta ji: Arre chokri! Kya baat hai?
Anupama: Ma! Ma, dekho! Dekho aapki beti ne first price jeet liya hai!!
Kanta ji: Ha?! Arre wah!! Meri Anu!! Kanah ji, aapka bohot bohot shukriya! Bohot bohot shukriya! 🙏 meri bacchi first aai hai!! Bhavesh! Bhavesh! Idhar toh aa!!
Bhavesh: Aaya Maa!
He came running after hearing his mother call him.
Bhavesh: Ha Ma, bolo kya kaam hai!
Anupama: Bhaiya aapki Anupama ne dance ke competition me first price jeeta hai!!
Bhavesh: Sach!! Arre wah!! Meri behena Anu!! Pyari behen Anu!!
They both hugged and Anupama's mother Kanta took the trophy and kept it near the mandir theu have in the house. After the hug was over, Anupama extended her hand in front of her brother.
Bhavesh: Kya?
Anupama: inaam!
Bhavesh: Accha! Chal, bol kya chahiye! Jo bolegi, yeh de dunga!
Anupama: zyada toh nahi maangugi..bas apna chumbak aap mere hawale kar dijiye 2 maheeno ke liye!
Bhavesh: Nahi! Kabhi nahi!!
Anupama: kaise nahi? Abhi toh kaha ki 'bol kya chahiye! Jo chahiye de dunga!' Majne toh sirf aapki chumbak maangi hai! De do na!! Mai nahi gumaungi!!
Bhavesh: Chal theek hai, par sirf 2 maheeno ke liye ha! Aur beech beech me mai bhi istemal karunga!
Anupama: Ha theek hai!!
Bhavesh gave Anupama his magnet and Anupama went inside her room while paying with the magnet in her hands.
