She was going through the college gates as ususal carrying a lot more of books than she can afford to. She normally used to look here and there as soon as she came out.
But today, she was walking straight to a shop, no looking here and there.
What had went wrong to this bubbly , chirpy girl ? She dint look the same. She looked a lot upset 
It was a bad afternoon for her. Normally classes used to start from 10 to 5 . But she was one of the sincere ones who used to do all the lectures , but she wud bunk to wen all her frnds did so.
But 2day, she seemed alone…..u wud never c her alone…she always used to be crowded with frnds. 
But 2day something had gone wrong , she was not her normal self.
She walked slowly to the shop, asked if he had got a aspirin. The shop keeper knew her well, so he asked her “What happened to you Neha beta, you looked fine in the morning and now you look so tense, anything wrong and arey aspirin is over, I will bring it by today evening?” 
” Neha was about to say something ki she remembered , she carrying lot of books with her and now her hands could not anymore take the load so she asked the shop keeper to keep the books for sometime.
The shopkeeper happily took it and Neha gave a weak smile and said “thanks!!!! uncle”
She didnt want to go to hostel now, becoz she knew all will notice the difference and ask her what had happened and her roomies, she cant keep anything away from them, they would easily find out. So she decided to wait in the near by Dhaba.
This Dhaba was just outside of the college and a gr8 place to sit. Most of the college guys and gals used to spend a lot time there. In the PLs (Preparation Leave) people used to study there and for college bunkers it was normal sit out place.
For Neha , this place was safe as it was afternoon and this time , it was always empty. She headed to the Dhaba , just to take the third bench, but to her dismay, there was a big crowd of students inside and it was just impossible for her to move in , in this condition as mostly all students knew her and she didnt want create a scene.
She quietly moved into the college campus and started to move. She found a quiet place near the Textile Department. And she started thinking about what had happened this afternoon. It made her cry lightly… she quickly wiped her face.
She started thinking…………………………………………
She and Raj were just friends, then why was she upset. What had happened?
She just didnt know, why was she feeling so low.
Raj was her best friend. He was the first guy she got to know during their ragging days. Kya din the woh. She remembered mostly everything, how seniors used to give them many tasks and how she and Raj used to do them together or help eachother…
They both had a good time together. Neha had a lot of good friends , but Raj was special.
She and Raj shared mostly all secrets and they used to play a lot of tantrums on others. Their Departments were different, but that hardly mattered. They made it a point to do masti as well studies. So both of them mostly were good in their classes too.
Its been three years since they were best friends. They never used interfere in each other’s life and that was the best thing about their relationship, both had their own space.
But today something happened and neha was very upset about it and reason she couldn’t get herself.
Today morning all was fine. She met Raj on the stairs of her department as usual and they had a quick “hi hello” as they were getting late for their lectures.
During her break, her localite friend Rachna told her that she and Raj had many things in common and she just couldnt stop thinking about Raj.
But, this was not new Raj was liked by many gals and they used to come to Neha and tell her to do something for them and Neha never minded this also as this was all fun and Raj would always used to say ” What is this Neha, u know I dont like this yaar ” and Neha would say “This is fun, may be you will get someone becoz of me one day and then you will say thanks Neha you made my life”
Little did she know or think that if something like this happens one day then it will disturb her so much And it happened today,
In the afternoon when Neha met Raj….. They had their normal college chat and then Raj told Neha something that neha could harldy believe!!!!!!
He slowly started up “Hey Neha, Thanks dear,your words have come true, i think i like Rachna”
Neha couldn’t hardly believe her ears, what was Raj saying and at the same time she didnt know why she was not happy when she should be the MOST HAPPY PERSON FOR RAJ.
She helped a weak smile and said “Congrats Raj, I have some work , will catch u later ”
“Hey Neha, come on I am telling something important and you dont have time, not done. Ok fine, we will meet in the evening and I will tell you everything ok, even I have a class to catch , chalo …cya” saying this Raj ran off to catch his classmates….
Neha didnt know why she was not happy and she kept asking herself…….this thing and suddendly she saw her watch and it was 5:30…and she came out of her thoughts
“Oh how long I had been here…good that noone noticed me Oops!!!! its 5:30 , Raj will be here anytime I should go from here, he should not find me this way and anywys Rachana is a good gal, I should be happy and I am happy” muttered Neha to herself and headed to her Hostel….
