"But... She was not faking... I know it... Nobody can feign that innocence... She looked so real and pure... How could she be using Vanraj... No she can't... She loves him... What if she is rude to me... Doesn't mean she is incapable of loving anyone... Not every person is same with all... Haina....", Anuj looked at his open book and said confused.

"Yes... You are right...!!". A cup slipped in front of him and a pair of hands slither around his neck. "Your coffee...!!"

"Thankx.... Did I say it right?", Anuj asked kissing her hand.

"You are absolutely right darling..."

"I love you....".

"I love you too my baccha... So kiske baare me socha jaa raha tha...??"

"Mummy vo Anupamaa........"

"Anupamaa?? Who??"

He rolled his eyes. "College me hai!! Huh... Khud ko pata ni kya samjhti hain!!", he made a rotten face.

"Uh oh!! Nice introduction!!"

"Jab se gaya hoon unhone mera jeena haraam kar rakha hai... Pata nahi kyaa dushmani hai unhe mujhse... Mujhe dekh ke hi chidh jaati hain... Jaise koi pichhle janam ka badla le rahi hon... Pta hai first day kya kiya unhone mere saath....", and he narrated her the entire drama of the classroom and debsoc and what not.

"And today... She was kissing Vanraj in his car... Vo bhi humari class me hai... He is a good boy... Pata ni usne kya dekha Anupama me... Humesha to muh bana ke ghoomti hain! Kisi ko pasand bhi kaise aa sakti hain vo!!??!!", he whoofed.

"Hmm... Now that's something...!! She has a boyfriend and you are worried for him!?"

"Obviously I am...!!'

"Because she intimidated you!? I didn't know my son is so darpok?", she smiled.

"You should look into her eyes once... Aisa lagta hai kha jaayengi..."

"Okay okay relax!! Then why do you have that soft spot for her if she is soo bad.......!!", she picked his wet towel from the bed and spread it on the stand.

He paused and reflected on it. He didn't want to tell her this but he felt no good hiding it. "Vo...."

"Say....", she slapped his head and wiped the table with a rough cpoth to remove the dust.

"Sorry I will do that later!! You listen to me na first... Today when she was kissing Vanraj... She was kissing him like she'll end up making out with him then and there and she just wanted him for you know like... Ummm... For her needs or timepass or to have something to boast about...... At least that's what it looked like in the first view.... But...", he wanted to back off and not tell her when there is still time.

"But what??"

"But when they stopped kissing... I saw something on her face...", he squinched her eyes as if to remember.

"Hope not her smudged lipstick!!", she smiled then placed her finger back on her lips.

"No... I am not interested in it anyway!! I saw... That blush... That innocence on her face... Trust me it was soo difficult for me to even imagine it on that face because she and innocent !!??", he scoffed. "Not even in next ten janams!! But it was there... She looked like a jasmine.... So white...... So pure.... Mujhe laga tha she is just with Vanraj for timepass and is wasting his life... But kiss ke baad jis tarah unhone Vanraj ko dekha na... Aisa lagta main unke baare me jitna jaanta hoon sab fake ho sakta hai but vo nahi.......", he paused and didn't continue again.

"Then maybe she is not...?"

"What?"

"Maybe she is not fake...!!"
