Shaira was very passionate about reading and writing good poems and shayaris , she herself was a very good poet and had a deep knowledge and understanding of literature in Urdu , Hindi and English.

It was as if her parents knew from her birth that she was going to love poetry so they named her shaira. A person only needed to be good with words and shayari to impress her. She was very fascinated with the poems and always appreciated and admired good writers.

"Tujhe isse samajhne ke liye na ek shayar ka dil chahiye" Shaira said taking the paper back from haseena, while haseena rolled her eyes "wo kaise? Aisa kya h isme Jo hume samajh nhi aaya aur tujhe aa gya?"

Tu h ek chand si,
Main thehra tera deewana.

Kerne ko baatein tujhse,
Main dhunda kru bahana.

Tu ek shaam h,
Aur main tera parwana,
Ki jahan bhi tu rahe,
Main banana chahu,
Wahin apna aashiyana.

Hai har pal khayalo main,
Bas tera hi aana jaana,
Ki chahu ab sang tere,
Main apna har pal bitana.

Tu hai ek chand si,
Main thehra tera deewana

"Ye pyaar ka ailan h haseena , in lines ko gaur se samajh dilse.... Mohabbat is kadar badh chuki h ki apne mehboob main Chand Nazar aane laga h. Ishq ke is makam par sirf uss ek shaks se baatein kerne ka Dil kerta h. Aisa lagta h ki usse ek pal bhi dur ab Raha nhi jayega , jaise Puri kayanaat ussi ke ird gird ghumti ho aur uske khayalo ke aalawa koi khayal na bacha ho , uske naam ke siva koi naam na yaad ho , uske chehre ke siva koi chehra na yaad ho-"

Shaira's dreamy lines were interrupted by haseena , as she chided with a sting of jealousy "ha thik h samajh gye hum"
"Waise ye likha kisne h?" Shaira asked. Haseena folded the page and kept it in her diary saying, "karishma ne"

Shaira looked taken aback. "Ab kya hua? Abhi to badi tarif ker rhi thi?" Haseena asked at the silence. "Nhi matlab....wo likhti h aur wo bhi aisa likhti h ye kabhi socha nhi tha" shaira admitted honestly. "Unhone kaha ye bahut pehle likha tha unhone" haseena informed.

"Well, that's a new side of her. Usse dekh ke koi nhi keh sakta ye usne likha hoga" shaira said and haseena nodded. "Par aakhir kiske liye?" Haseena asked curiously with little jealousy. "Haseena chod usse aur uski baatein chal kahi bahar chalte h" she said trying to distract haseena from this topic.

Haseena and shaira went to a nearby cafe where they met Aalia and santu as santu and cheetah were classmates. They all knew each other and santu had formed a good bond with them in this time.

"Are santu tumhara exam kab h?" Haseena asked taking a seat infront of them and beside shaira. "Bas aapki thodi help chahiye haseena di." Santu requested. "Ha thik h shaam ko hum help ker dange"

"Waise aaj maine ek miracle dekha" shaira said attracting all of their attention. "Kya?" Aalia asked. "Ek khoobsurat si shayari , guess ker written by who?"

"Tune khud hi likhi hogi , you are good at it" aalia shrugged diverting her attention back to her phone. "Ji nhi , Karishma ne likhi thi" and a pin drop silence fell on the table. "Oh" Aalia uttered after a minute. "Ha she is really good at poetry " Shaira praised.

"Santu tumhe to pata hoga na wo kab poetry kerti thi? Ya kiske liye?" Haseena asked casually. Santu nervously looked at all of them and fumbled "n..nhi mujh..e wo.."
