~Pehla Nasha~ A Samaina FF

~Chapter One~

"Naina, Preeti, utho bachiyon, bhagwaan jhut na bulaye, school ke liye late hona hai kya tum dono ko, bhabhiji kabhi bhi aati hongi, bawaal macha dengi agar chai nahi mili toh,   Uthoo, Naina , Preeti!" This was our morning song everyday, Chachi Ji ki khatti meethi daant, aise hoti thi hamari subah ki shuruaat, we used to trust our elders more than those alarms. Chachi Ji aka Bela Agarwal, my mother. She wasn't my real mother but loved me more than my real mother could. Kabhi bhi maa ki kami ka ehsaas nahi hone di. Pooja Didi aur Preeti ne kabhi behen ki kami Mehsus hone nahi di.

"Mummyyy! Itna Acha sapna dekh rahi thi, Salman Khan wala ,haaye, bas Abhi haath pakadne wale the hum." Preeti dreamily smiled and I chuckled on her dream while Chachi Ji caught hold of her ears. "Bas, yahi Sab sapne dekh tu, padhai likhai bhi kar le. Iss baar marks kam aaye na toh dekh lena, Samjhi. Naina se seekh, 1st aayi hai puri class mein aur Tu, last se 1st."  Chachi Ji mocked Preeti and I smiled while Preeti rubbed her ears to ease off pain.

"Mummy, Naina padhai karne mein achi, Main mazaak, masti mein Main achi hoon, all in one betiyaan hai aapki , aur kya chahiye aapko?"  Preeti cheerfully said Chachi Ji adored us from the distance. "Haan baba, bahot khush hoon Main, ab jaa tayaar hone varna bhabhiji shuru ho jaengi." Chachi Ji said and moved to the kitchen to make tea for Tai Ji. Tai Ji aka Beena Agarwal, the lady hitler of our house, Chachi Ji aur Tai Ji ki teekhi meethi ladai aam baat thi hamare ghar mein, yahi toh batata tha ki hum Agarwal Niwas mein reh rahe hai.

"Oh Bai, Bela, Zara elaichi wali chai toh peelana, aur haan woh cream biscuit ke saath jo naya wala aaya hai." Tai Ji walked inside our home as I and Preeti got ready for school. Pooja Didi brought the tea from kitchen. Pooja Didi, the cutest person in our house, she was so sweet and loving that I never had to complain for a elder sister. We had our share of gossips which even Preeti didn't know about.

"Bela, cheeni khatam hogayi hai kya ghar mein jo aisi pheeki chai banayi hai. Jaa, andar se cheeni leke aa." Tai Ji, instructed Pooja Didi and she ran to get some sugar. " Bhagwaan jhoot na bulaye Bhabhi Ji par aapne woh jo cream ka biscuit khaaya na, uske kaaran aapko chai pheeki lagne lag gayi." Chachi Ji said and we sisters couldn't control our laughter.

"Oh Bai, chain se insaan biscuit bhi nahi khaa sakta, sabke nazar rehti hai mere khaane pe. Badho ko pujana chahiye jo tum Sab ke liye Chandan ki tarah ghiste rehte hai. Par nahi, iss ghar mein toh kisi ko qadar hi nahi hai." Tai Ji said and took a deep sigh and suddenly now, we were her target. "Aye, Tum dono ladkiyon, school ke liye late nahi Hora hai, jao jaldi." She scolded us and we both made our way towards our bicycles. Bicycles? Obviously, koi school bus thodi hoti thi humare liye, ya toh paidal ya phir bicycle.

We made our way to our school, the roads were buzzing with people. Everyone was not lost in their own world like the 21st century , every person was connected to each other in some way or the another. There were discussions about the master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, who know that these three would rule the Bollywood industry. We reached the school and saw Swati standing at the gate waiting for me.

"Kahan thi Tu, chal ab jaldi." Swati said as I parked my bike and rushed with her to the school corridors. "Kya hua, itni jaldi kyun kar rahi hai, class ko Abhi time hai."  I asked Swati as she was pulling me towards a group of guys who were standing in a circle. "Ab toh classes ka hi intezaar hai, Naina! Wahan dekh." Swati pointed me towards a boy and thud! My world came to a standstill, nothing came to my mind except that face which I was seeing right now. I didn't knew what was going on, I didn't wanted to know what was going out. I didn't cared about anyone that time. It was like when everything became blank and suddenly a song started playing on my mind.

Dil deewana bin sajna ke
Maane na
Dil deewana bin sajna ke
Maane na
Ye pagla hai samjhaane se
Samjhe na
Ye pagla hai samjhaane se
Samjhe na

That was the current situation of my heart. How could I not control my heart from fluttering after seeing him? The padhaku Naina, teachers pet Naina, topper Naina. All these phrases were mocked by a new side of mine. And that was the hopeless romantic Naina who was getting attracted to a stranger whom she had never met.

Dhak dhak bole it ut dole
Din raina
Ye pagla hai samjhaane se
Samjhe na
Ye pagla hai samjhaane se
Samjhe na

I knew, this was just the starting, my heart won't leave me now. It'll continue to trouble me day and night. Offo, Naina, kahan phas gayi Tu.

"Nainaaa! Nainaaa! Nainaaa!" Swati shaked me like crazy and I came back to the reality. "Kahan kho gayi Tu. Yahan main kabse bol rahi hoon aur Tu toh pata nahi kin khyaalon mein khoyi hai." I looked at Swati and was embarrassed for my behaviour, but still my eyes didn't left his face for a moment. I was adoring that stranger, his insanely good looks, his silky locks, the Salman khan cut. The way he smiled, uff, can this guy take my life already? "Baat hi nahi karni mujhe, dekh bhi nahi rahi hai mujhe Tu." Swati said and made puppy eyes. "Are, sorry na. Kuch soch rahi thi. Tu bolna. Abhi sunungi, ache se." I said and she happily hugged me.

"Woh jo ladka haina, Salman khan cut wala, woh hamare saath padhne wala hai, woh join karra hai Aaj as a new student! Kitni achi baat haina yeh." Swati said and my happiness knew no bounds. Mann toh karra Tha sab mein laddoo batwa dun. I tried to hide my excitement and just said "achi baat haina," Swati looked at me and said. "Bus, achi baat hai, bahot achi baat hai, Naina. Itna handsome ladka, hamare school mein, hamari class mein, hamare aage peeche, aaju baaju baithega. Padhai mein dil kaise lagega ab." Swati said dreamily and I also started thinking him sitting next to me. I had so much going on right now. How will I focus on my studies of he'll be sitting in my very own class, disturbing me with his good looks every single second?
