Swarms of students rushed by her.
The chattering and the usual buzz of college life gave a new life to her tormented soul.
She felt refreshed.
She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't see another girl in front of her.
The girl in front of her lost her balance, and all the books tumbled down on top of them as their heads collided together.

'Ouch'..Both gasped rubbing their heads to ease their pain.

'Sorry' Again said together..

'Its ok' And again here we go.

Both of them burst into laughter.
Suddenly the girl turned serious.
'Dekhkar nahi chal sakti kyaa... Bhagwaan aankhe diya he ki nahi..'

Wow that was unexpected.
'I am sorry yaar..I didn't see you coming..'

'Just kidding...But Apology accepted', said the other girl winking.

'Okay...'To say Naira was not amused would be a lie.
Naira found her to be interesting...

'Haii...I am sorry...I didnt mean to be rude..I was just pulling your leg.. Anyways I am Tanvi.'
Said Tanvi in one go holding out her hand.

'Hai..I am Naira..',
Naira stretched out her hand,which Tanvi took enthusiastically.
Naira couldn't help grin at her excitement.

Both walked towards their classroom.
Tanvi mostly doing the talking,while Naira listened to her.

As they sat down together,a boy of middle height came towards them.
He reminded of her someone,but she couldn't point out who.
He tapped on their table and said, 'Hai, me Tanmay.Iss class ke sabse hot aur popular guy.'

Tanvi beside her scoffed,but he ignored her,and again directing to naira said, 'Meri baat maanne me hi tumhaari bhalla he.
To chupchap mere liye meri notes likho.
Business management ki.
Me bhi dekho ki tum meri dosti ki layak he.',
Naira still stared at him, wordlessly, uninterested.

Tanvi grabbed the notes from his hand and smiling sickly with an evil glint said, 'Me likhenge na tumhaare liye...'

'No..No..Tum kyun beech me bol rahe ho..Khabardar tumne fir se...'Tanmay hurriedly said,scowling at her.

Grabbing his book,he went out of the class,glaring at her.
Tanvi smirked,and carried on arranging her books as if nothing happened.
Naira felt she was missing something.
Curious,she questioned Tanvi,'Firse kya??'

'Last time jab ye meri friends ko thang kiya,to me uski project pe puri ki puri coffee gira di.'
Naira widened her eyes with shock.'You both know each other?'
'Yaa..Meri ghar me rehta he..'said Tanvi casually glancing at her...
'Aarey yaar...chalo ek aur clue dete he...'Tanvi threw her hands up in annoyance
She came closer to Naira and pushed her hair from her face.That time realisation struck her.
The same brown eyes,turned up nose.
'Omg,you both are twins....',Naira slapped her head,
Why didn't it stuck her.
Of course Tanmay looked like Tanvi.
She was reminded of the tricks lav-kush were upto.
She tremendously missed her two devars.

'Unfortunately...'Added Tanvi,rolling her eyes.

Naira couldn't help smile at that...She could see that despite all her irritation Tanvi deeply loved her brother.

She knew it,because she is also like Tanvi.
Although she fights with her brother and irritates him,
she also loved Naksh greatly.
Thinking about Naksh,brought painful memories to her.
She missed her brother greatly.

It was painful to stay away from him,her family.
But she wont be able to live in Udaipur knowing that Kartik is also there.
She shook herself from all disturbing thoughts.
