Dev muttered under his breath: "Mar gaya yaar. Yeh toh naaraz ho gayi. Beta Dev tu toh aaj gaya kamse. Juban pe break nahiin laga sakta kya? humesha anabshanab bakna jaruri hain. Chalo pehle car ke andar jaata hoon. Gusse ka intensity kitna hain measure karna padega."

He timidly got into the car in the driver's seat and found that sonakshi was looking right out side the window, facing the other side.

Dev (in his mind): "uh oh damage control needed."

He gulped and then tried to start a conversation: "Pari.."

But he was cut in between by an angry sonakshi: "Dev chalo humein der ho rahi hain."

Dev gulped again and thought: "Oh no!! Isnw mujhe Dev kaha, prince nahiin. Matlab kaafi gussa hain yaar. Jab serious ho jaati hain ya gussa ho jaati hain tabhi Dev bulati hai. Kuch soch Dev beta, jaldi soch. Isko jaldi mana. I just cant bear her anger."

Dev(in a kiddish voice): "chorry!" [sorry]

No answer

Dev tried again: "chorry!"

Again no answer

Dev: "cho chorry! [so sorry]

Once again no answer from Sonakshi's side. However this time Sonakshi silence met with a complete silence. Sonakshi frowned and then turned to face Dev, just to see why he was so quiet which was so uncharacteristic of him, only to witness a heartmelting sweet scene. Dev was sitting there quietly holding his ears with a cute, innocent puppy face. As she looked at him, he gestured through his eyes to her to look at the front desk of the car. As she turned to look at the front desk, her face split into a sweet, enchanting smile as her gaze fall upon a box of her favourite chocolate. She again turned to look at Dev who was looking at her with expectant eyes and the same puppy face, still holding his ears. She could never remain angry with him as he always knew what to do and how to pacify her and this day was no exception. Her soft smile slowly turned into a soft giggle and she lightly pulled Dev's cheek and said in a kiddish voice: "Awe! Cho chweet!"

Dev sighed in relief: "Thank God."

Sonakshi giggled and grabbed the box of chocolates immediately. If Sonakshi pampered Dev limitlessly, Dev was no way lagging behind. He could just do anything for his best buddy.

Sonakshi remembered with a jolt that they were getting late and glanced at her watch: "oh no! Prince jaldi chalo yaar. We r getting late."

Dev chuckled: "Accha ji, toh ab khayal aaya ki hum late ho rahe hain. Tab nahiin socha tha jab ruthke baithi thi. Tumko manane mein hi itna waqt gaya."

Sonakshi giggled: "Toh! Galti tumhari thi toh bhugatna bhi tumko hi padega na. Aur ab hum late nahiin ho rahe hain?? Ab chalo bhi Prince, jaldiii!!!"

Dev saluted her: "Aye aye Ma'm!

And soon the car joomed at a high speed and crossed the threshold of the mansion within moments.

*******************************************************************

(Maurya National Institution of Business Manangement - MNIBM)

The black car joomed through the lavish and colossal entrance gate of the institution. As soon as the car entered the crowded campus of MNIBM, there was a loud cheer among the students as mostly all students know Dev and Sonakshi and were great friends of the duo. As the door to the driver's seat opened, stepped out the most handsome guy of the institution with his dark brown shades on and his jet black hair flowing back. He had a smirk playing in his lips as most of the girls were drooling the moment he stepped out and he pretty well was aware of the effect he had on them. And there opened the other door of the car and stepped out the most beautiful and gorgeous girl of the institution, after whom almost every guy of the college was crazy. However, unlike Dev, Sonakshi was totally indifferent to the attention she usually got from the guys. Though these two were perhaps blind to their natural chemistry and the fact that they make the most beautiful and adorable couple, others were not at all blind to the fact. They could see the fact clearly and this made the guys jealous whenever they saw Dev with Sonakshi and vice-versa.

As soon as Dev and Sonakshi took a few steps towards the entrace to the college building, a girl came and tapped on Dev's shoulder from behind. Dev turned and smiled seeing her.

Dev: "Hey Swati! How are you doing beautiful?"

Swati blinked her eyes quite unnecessarily: "Do you really care handsome?"

Dev chuckled: "Well actually I don't."

Saying this he clasped his hands with a giggling Sonakshi and ran to save their neck as they were really getting late for their classes, leaving behin a confused and sad Swati.

While walking, rather striding alongwith Dev, Sonakshi asked him: "Why do you keep doing this with the poor girls? Cant you get one for you who willl just fulfill each and every criteria of your dream girl? Don't you get tired of chasing these good for nothing girls?"

Dev laughed: "Oh come on Pari. You know me right! These all are just for the sake of fun and nothing serious. Kya tumhe sach mein lagta hain ki yeh larkiyan mujhse saccha pyar karti hain? Then you need a reality check my Angel. In larkiyo ko toh pata bhi nahiin ki saccha pyar hota kis chiriya ka naam hain, usko khate hain ya pehente hain. (he laughed making Sonakshi giggled) Yeh sab sirf infatuations hain pari and nothing else and I can guarrantee you that once they get a more handsome man than me, they wont even take minutes to forget me. And hey hey hey! What did you say? I chase those girls? For the last time Pari I don't chase them..."

Sonakshi giggled and cut him in between: "Ya ya I know. The girls chase the great emperor of the world Dev Dixit. Right?"

Dev: "My Angel can never be wrong."

Sonakshi: "Accha?? Waise na tum decide karlo ki tumhe mujhe angel bulana hain ya pari."

Sonakshi: "ek hi baat hain dhakkan."

Sonakshi's mouth fell open: "Huh! Tumne mujhe dhakkan bola, fir toh tum..uh..tum..haan tum fir muhjala peepa ho."

Now it was Dev's turn to get astounded: "What? Yeh hota kya hain? Aisa koi cheez hain bhi ya tumhare wild imagination ka instant made creation hai?"

Sonakshi: "Oh hello! Mr. know it all, agar tumhein kuch nahiin pata toh matlab wo exist hi nahiin karta? Waise muh jala peepa ka matlab hain jab ek khali tin ke dabbe ko laath par laath marte jao toh uski jo haalat hota hain wo."

As soon as she said this she burst into fits of giggle. Dev was shocked to know the meaning and after a moment, which required the meaning to sink in him, he retorted: "Pari ki bacchi teri toh main..."

And with this he began to chase Sonakshi who started to run to save her neck. They both kept running and chasing each other till they reached the class. Sonakshi first reached the class. She was panting due to the exertion. She found out that the teacher had already arrived and was sitting at the teacher's desk and was about to check the attendance.

Sonakshi (panting slightly): "Ma'm...may...I...come in."

The professor turned to look at her and smiled warmly. All the teachers of the institution like the two top students - Dev and Sonakshi- very much and hence they ignore minor faults of the two friends.

Professor: "Come in Sonakshi. Where is Dev?"

Sonakshi was about to reply but even before she could reply, someone bumped into her, pushing her inside the class while the person too had entered the class due to the sudden force.

The Professor shook her head while Sonakshi turned back to find Dev who was panting slightly.

Dev turned to look at their professor and smiled sheepishly: "Umm...actually...Oh forget it! Sorry Ma'm. May I come in?"

Professor smiled: "In case you haven't noticed yet, Dev you are already in."
