The next day was the most awaited day for the entire college. The new event for getting dressed up in an entire Indian outfit, wearing jewellery, trying a new hairstyle for both boys and girls. This excitement was seen both on Sameer and naina's face.
Finally Saturday was here and the college was well decorated with orange, blue, red, green, yellow ribbons and the white marble added to its beauty. For having a good effect a statue of a man wearing Kurta pajama and a woman wearing a Saree was standing at the entrance which was admired by the students. Food stalls containing dhokla, fafda, aloo parathas, idli sambar, gulabi jamun, jalebi were set up at one of the corner while some waiters who were hired for the event were serving juices and soft drinks to others. The scenario of students wearing Indian outfits other than jeans and skirts and frocks, it felt really nice.
Sameer along with Munna and Pandit was dressed in a white Kurta paired with a cream pajama and a cream scarf hunged on his shoulders from both the sides and as always he was ruffling his silky locks, they entered the college and met their friends while Pandit's eyes was roaming here and there searching for a girlfriend who could always be on his side but after constant tries he failed.
Otherside, swati had reached the college alone, and her eyes landed on Munna who was looking handsome in his attire. He looked at her and complimented her. The two of them continued looking at each other until Sameer coughed in between.
"Umm.. Aaj tum akele swati preeti aur naina bhabhi Nahin aaye?", said a fumbling Pandit who got frequent nudges from Sameer's side to ask this question since a long time.
"Woh preeti toh aapne sasural walon ke saath bahar gyi thi aur naina bas Aati hi hogi! " said swati confidently looking at sameer since she knew that though the question was asked by Pandit but someone else wanted to know the answer.
"Oyeee woh dekh " a girl's voice shifted the attention of the boys and swati at the entrance.
Naina was there all dressed in a white lehenga with blue blouse and white dupatta, silver jhumkas adorned her ears, steel bangles and a silver white coloured bindi on her forehead. Her hair were open for today unlike the other days and soft curls at the end.
Like the other students of the college including girls and boys, Sameer and the gang were also looking at the beauty standing in front today them.Naina was talking to a classmate girl when swati waved at her and her gaze shifted at their side and she looked at him. It was a fortune when they intentionally didn't decide a dress code but both were wearing white contrasted with some other colour. Umm... Couple feels!!!
"Waah yaar naina aaj toh tune seniors ko bhi piche chhod diya, bohot sundar lag rahin hai " complimented swati looking at naina.
Naina smiled at her and replied, "Thank you. Tu bhi kar Nahin lagega Rahin hai, madhuri ko bhi piche chhod diya"
Swati giggled at her statement while Munna agreed and blushed to naina's compliment for swati.
Suddenly an announcement was made to gather all the students at the auditorium, swati Pandit and Munna headed towards the auditorium while naina went to drink some juice. When she turned back, the end of her blouse and the dupatta got tangled with the nail on the platform's end where the food counter was. She tried to get it out otherwise it could be torn. All her tries were observed by Sameer who was standing at a distance looking at her.
He came towards her and said, "Na...
Naina main help kar du"Naina looked at him, she was shy of taking help from him, but indeed he was her husband and no one was there to help her, she just nodded.
Sameer came a little closer to her and held the dupatta and the blouse delicately so that it could get untangled, while doing so the sight which greeted him made his knees go weaker since her white soft and milky waist was visible to him and this was unknown to naina. She just closed her eyes and prayed to get this work go faster and she could run away.
His hands brushed with the exposed part of her waist, he muttered a sorry while her breathing became erratic, eyes still closed and the time when he was done with the task, he looked at her, she looked innocent and cute, he somehow knew that their proximity was affecting her and he was enjoying. Not able to think if this was normal or something special he kept his thoughts aside.
"Naina, Ho gya! " said Sameer with dupatta still in his hands, her fraganance could even be smelled in the dupatta and he did not feel so to give it back.
She opened her eyes, unable to bear his gaze anymore muttered a thanks and turned to move when sameer's voice stopped her ,"umm... Naina Ek min! "
She turned back.
"Woh... Woh tum aaj Bohot achi dikh rahin ho! " complimented Sameer still looking at her face.
"Huh? " Naina could not understand, it seemed like whatever he was speaking naina couldn't hear and she was already engrossed in looking him and admiring him.
Sameer was confused.
"Nahin mera Matlab hai thank you! "
Said naina to hide her awkwardness.
This time he turned when she stopped him."Umm.. Sameer tum bhi! " said naina blushing and her lips curled into a smile.
Sameer smiled looking at her blushing face, she started walking back to the auditorium while he followed her, ruffling his silky hair.
The auditorium filled with the laughs and joyfulness of the students and specially Jbr's joke, added to the atmosphere of the event. Naina joined swati and her friends while Sameer moved with Munna and Pandit.
Pandit continued munching some or the other while Sameer and Munna kept glaring at him and he would give a subah-se-kuch-nahin-khaya-hai look and the Two would laugh at his antics.
The principal came on the stage declaring, "Students, jaisa ki Aap jaante hai ki Desi day ke din ham uss saal ke topper ka naam announce karte hai aur cricket team ke liye captain declare karte hai aur wo dono hi intercollege competition hamare college ko represent karenge, so after having the records we declare Mr Sameer Maheshwari as the captain of the cricket team, I would like to call him and honour him with the badge."
Sameer kept his glass aside and walked towards the stage. All others clapped for him and naina was really happy whilst Munna Pandit started whistling. The chief guest honoured him with a small token of gift and the badge. Sameer came back from the stage and stood besides Munna Pandit feeling proud.
The principal continued, "Many congratulations to you sameer, now it's time to announce the topper for the first year, after having a look at the academic records, we have Ms naina Agrawal as our representative. Naina pls come on the stage and accept your badge.
Naina was shocked as well as happy, she didn't know how to react, she never expected like this to happen. Even sameer was happy and clapped for her. Coming out from her thoughts she looked at sameer who was lip syncing and saying, "Naina aage jao! "
She moved and the chief guest honoured her. The principal called Sameer and naina for the photograph. They stood besides each other and smiled.
After a while the gang was congratulating naina and sameer. The lunch was set up and they headed towards the food counter. When the day had been over and Sameer naina had started to their respective homes, the families were glad to hear the news of both their children and congratulated each other.
Sameer and naina slept and were ready to have a new responsibility and promised themselves to never let down their families and always make them proud.
