As I went inside auditorium after experiencing something which I never experienced before.

"What was that"?  I muttered to myself only i can hear.

His eyes was deep and steady, holding a quiet intensity that makes me pause. They don’t speak much, yet they observe everything, sharp and unreadable, as if measuring the world in silence.

There’s a darkness in them— cruel, but controlled—like a storm kept behind calm skies.

I was thinking when suddenly someone hug me from back .

I know very well who can do that,  as i turned Rutvika was standing there.

"Tu kutti kha mar gyi thi hainn??  Itni late kese hogyii tu?Vese sabse pehle aajati hai or aaj aana tha toh aayi nhi ,Vese bol rhi thi tere sath rhugi mai kuch nhi hoga or yha par thi bhi nhi kha thii??"

I said in one breath without pausing.

"Ruk ja meri mata , bullet train ki speed se boli ja rhi hai ,Pehle us mere kutte bhai ne meri dress khrab krdii toh ready hone me time lg gya uske baad itna traffic tha bhai kya btau."She said to me in her complaining tone.

"Vese teri gaalo ko kya hua hai bhen  laal tmatar ban rkhe hai khi tune kisi ko kiss toh" I cut her in mid sentence and hit on her head .

"Tu bakwas kam kiya kar , har waqt ulta sochti hai "? I said to her by holding her ear"

"Meri ma mere kaan toh chod de ,acha chal sorry" She said by her holding her ears in gesture for saying sorry.

"Chal abh sach Sach bta kya hua" She asked me raising her eyebrows.

I told her whole story , and how I felt.

"Oh ho madam ji ko kuch ho rha hai , itna toh meri aankhon ke baare me nhi btaya jitna kuch time mile insaan ki aankhon ke baare me bta diya wo bhi sirf 0.2 second ke eye contact se". She said teasingly with her puppy eyes.

"Aesa kuch nhi hai vo bas uski aankhein achi thi baki kuch nhi " I said as she open her mouth for argue , Our professor came and told me that 1st performance is mine and I went with her .

As host do announcement and told about our trusty of whom I only read in newspapers but never saw him ,

I was worried and then my performance came.

I went and Firstly touch stage before performing as My eyes went to couches where chief guest was sitting .I got shocked to saw that man whom I collided with a few minutes ago . He was also  same shocked to saw me.

Then song play , which was "Teri deewani" dedicated to my Krishna .I pour my heart and emotions in dance . As i spin ,I had a eye contact with him and fir those few seconds everything else faded and something inside my heart shift.

As my performance was over I bowed down and went backstage . Other performances were also done and then hosts asked Rudraksh Rajawat to came on stage for Prize ceremony.

I was curious to saw him of whom I listened a lot.

As hosts tell about Solo dance competition winner was me .

I got so happy and thanks my kanha and went to stage for my trophy.

I got shocked and froze as I got to know that whom i collided in Playground was no other than Rudraksh Singh Rajawat.  I was worried ,

"But why then he says sorry to me " I asked myself.

And then steps forward for My trophy .

I gave him a warm smile and he replied with a smile in return.

"So this man know how to smile". I said to myself .As far as I read about him he never smiles.

Then I took my trophy from him And our hands brushed against each other. A shiver run down in my spine.

What the hell is happening with me . I asked myself

Then I went downstairs and sat beside Rutvika.

As all performances were over the principle asked me to come on stage to distribute the prizes to winners.

"Bhaiya aap toh shyd 10 min ke liye aaye the pr apko 45 min hogye hai yhapr kya hogya apko"..?? Veeransh asked me shockingly.

"Tu jyada bolne lag gya aajkal ghar chal fir batata hu" I warned him.

I went to stage

"Today's solo dance  competition award goes to Miss Ishika Singhania" Hosts announced and everyone clapped and welcomed her.

Something happened inside me as i heared her name.

Ishika came ,Her smile is soft, quiet, warm, and full of unspoken emotions.

There is a hint of shyness in it, a touch of innocence, yet beneath that gentleness lies strength. Her smile doesn’t try to impress; it simply exists, and that is what makes it unforgettable.

It’s the kind of smile that doesn’t just curve her lips—

it stays with me.

She looked at me at smile as she recognize me.

I gave her smile and extend trophy towards her . Our hands  brushed against each other and it sent shiver in my body.

Then after distributing all prizes .

"Sir can I give you our college tour "??  The principle asked me.

I think and replied with a small nod , before he can say anything his phone rang .

"Sorry sir  if you don't mind i have an urgent work I will tell a student to give you a tour "

He called a girl who was headgirl , before he can anything to her .

"Call Ishika Singhania to give me  a tour " I said

He look at me surprisingly but don't dare to refuse so he call her and a girl sitting beside her probably her friend maybe .

"Congratulations my darling. I knew that you would set stage on fire " She Congratulate me with giving me a side hug.

"Thank you meri rasmalaii" I thanked her.

"You saw him "?? She asked me but i don't get it .

"Who" I asked her.

"The one whom you collided into Playground "

Umm yeahh.. I replied to her.

"Kha par hai vo or kon hai "?? She asked me.

I point towards Rudraksh Rajawat .

"Whattt the helll?? You mean you collided into the cold hearted RUDRAKSH SINGH RAJAWAT ??and he even says sorry to youu..?? She yelled .

Majak kar rhi hai kya " She asked me .

"Nhi yarr sach me" I replied her.

Before I can say something more. Our principle called me and Ritu. We were surprised that why he us calling us .

We woth look at each other confusingly and then went to them.

"Yes sir you called us" , we said.

"Ishika give a tour of our college tour Mr.Rudraksh Sir" Principle sir said to me.

Me. ?? But whyy me ? U can tell Our Headgirl Shreya for tour ." I stammered .

"Sir himself said that you should give tour to them" He said

I was in shocked and looked at him who was already looking at me. Why he call me only for tour.

"And Rutvika you give tour to Mr. Veeransh " He said to Ritu

Who was equally shocked .

Then we look at each other and give a small nod , and start walking in different directions.
