꧁ ताकते रहते तुझको सांझ सवेरे
नैनों में बसिया जैसे नैन यह तेरे
तेरे मस्त मस्त दो नैन
मेरे दिल का ले गये चैन ꧂

"Keep the files of that meeting aside and focus on the upcoming project," I said and cut the call, I have been very busy with work, it looks like I am working more than an employee does in two days, and my head was paining, I wish I had someone who can take all my stress away, but I knew at the end of the day I had no one.
I rested my head on the chair just when someone knocked on the door, "COME in" I said, it was Ronak, "You have been invited to the upcoming fest at Enbridge University, will you-
"Is this the same university in which Anika is right now?"
Ronak lifted his one eyebrow to tease me, "Huh?"
"Just spill out the answer fool" I somewhat shouted but it was not in the sense of anger.
"Yes," he said and I don't know why it didn't take me a minute to say, "We are going"
"What will people think, you are visiting out so much these days"
'Let them think anything they want, I have a much bigger problem to solve, Mom is coming here, she saw the news"
"WHAT!" I expected this reaction from him, after all, he knows Mom very well too, her anger and her heart problem.
"We have to bring Anika at any cost, she will not be able to handle stress"
"Forget about bringing her here, she would not like to see your face too, after what you have done"
I was speechless, I didn't expect him to bring that topic against me in an argument
"Listen, let's go to Raawat's party, only there I guess you can meet her and talk about the situation"
"Can't I meet her in her college?"
"I don't think she will-"
"Let's go there first"
He didn't say anything further, and we sat in the car and headed towards her university, I also met the head as she had been calling me for many days, the way my mind was stuck on how I make her stay with me, I never taught that one day I will have to go to her, and plead, this is the first time I am going to a girl first it's all because of my mom, otherwise I wouldn't even speak a word from my side.
As soon as I reached I saw her with a girl, sitting in the garden, she hadn't noticed my car yet, I came out and was moving towards her just when I heard her voice, she was laughing at something, but my eyes stuck at her face, innocence was visible in her eyes and her laugh was sounding like music in my ears, I remembered that dialogue from a movie
"Esa toh nhi tha ki maine usse sunadar ladki kabhi dekhi nhi thi, par pta nhi kyu uske cehre se meri nazar hatti hi nhi thi"
[It was not as if I had never seen a more beautiful girl than her, but I don't know why I could not take my eyes off her face.]
Some strands of her hair were falling on her face, and she was wearing a simple top and jeans yet she was attracting me towards her as if we were magnets, girls were so revealing dresses in front of me but were not able to grab my attention, but here was her, just by a single glance I am mesmerized,
