Seeing Meghna, Kunal walked towards her. But he was pulled back by his friend, Rahul. Kunal looked at his annoying best friend, Rahul, over his shoulder. 

Rahul whispered,"Abbey! Tu kaha jaa raha hein?" (Abbey... where are you going?). Kunal simply shook his head and sighed. Rahul's confused expression annoyed him, so he decided to reply. "Kuch kaam hein. I'll come back in some time, meet you later! Bye!" He said with a sarcastic smile as he shoved his friend's hand of his shoulder. (There is some work to do!) 

He walked away without waiting for a reply. Rahul screamed ,"Kunal! Arey! Wait yaar!" But Kunal wasn't ready to listen.  He continued to walk towards the two girls as though he was hypnotised or as though there were magnets that pulled him towards her. 

He just walked towards her confidently, adjusting his dress, setting his hair and finally he fixed up his charming smile, that had the power to catch the attention of the entire corridor. 

But as soon as he walked up to them, they had walked away. He felt like a stupid. He sighed and  mentally boasted himself up.  

Meghna bid bye to Priyanka as she had reached her class.

There was enough time for the classes to begin. Kunal thought to himself as he checked his watch. 

Rahul looked confused as he watched his friend following  Meghna instead of going into the class and talking to Priyanka. Kunal crossed Priyanka's class and walked forward trying to catch up to Meghna's speed. 

Soon when he had realized that he wouldn't be able to catch-up to her; he shouted out, her name,"Meghna!!"

She stopped dead in her steps and looked back. The entire corridor turned around to look at Kunal, who was busy trying to breathe. Meghna looked at him with her eyebrows raised in confusion, she patiently waited for him. She rarely had patience but, surprisingly patience pumped into her blood today! 

Kunal stood up straight within few seconds. Meghna was still staring at him with a huge question mark above her head. Kunal senses it. 

"Hi! I'm Kunal..you are Meghna, right?"he asked after introducing himself. He forwarded his hand as she replied,"Yes". She smiled and shook hands with him,"So Kunal, How may I help you?" She asked.

 "At first, can we be friends?" He asked her. 

A smile appeared on her face; she found him to be weird. "Sure", she replied as a small giggle left her lips.

And the crowd in the corridor resumed their talk. They all sighed, they knew what he was up now. They all knew Kunal really well, he liked to 'play with girls feelings' as everyone calls it. He was the cool dude of the college who loved to engage himself with someone or the other, none of his relationships have lasted more than a month and half. He never liked it to last more than that. Everyone knew the next target would be Meghna; the next "bait" for the Casanova.

 Meghna and Kunal started walking through the corridor. They walked towards the notice board; Kunal waited as Meghna checked the board. She the started walking towards the class. Kunal continued to walk along with her. He was quiet all this while. Meghna sensed something wrong. 

"Kunal you want to say something?" She asked him without looking at his face. Kunal looked as though he was shocked. And replied,"Actually I wanted to talk to Priyanka.." 

Meghna giggled, assuming that Priyanka was his crush, "Sure".

Kunal jumped up with joy, "Thank you so much Meghna!..... Actually Priyanka is my best friend but apparently...." he suddenly fell silent. 

Meghna looked at him as both their smiles fade away,"What happened?"

"Woh....Meghna..." He said.
