The next morning in annika's home

Since yesterday annika and arjun were playing games the whole night they were still asleep .Annika was sleeping on the bed while arjun was sleeping placing his head on her stomach.Gauri came rushing to wake them up ...

G-annika(patting her)it's already late ,get up(shaking her)

And annika woke up with a jerk and sat rubbing her eyes .Then she was shocked looking at the clock and instantly tried to get up but something stopped her and then she bent down to see him sleeping on her stomach...

A-(sighing)aju...(patting his cheecks)get up naa ,you have school today.
Aj- sii ...restart the game ,I'll surely win this time(blabbering in his sleep)

Annika and gauri laughed at him and somehow waked him up...

A-It's ok aju ,today we'll see who wins(smirking)
Aj- hmm(turning the other side)cheater,chodo I'm going to naani(and ran from there)

Then they both got ready and went to college ,unfortunately all the four had the lab classes at the same time but with different subjects .Their labs were situated in the exact opposite directions with the stair case in the middle...

G-mam...mam plss mam,I forgot to bring my lab coat mam(pleading to the lab in charge)
M-I'm sorry gauri ,lab coat is a must(she said strictly and went inside)

Gauri turned with a dissapointed face to see annika laughing at her...

A-mam mam...(imitating her and continued laughing)

While gauri gave I don't care wala reaction...

A-so sad ...ok gauri we'll meet after the class bye(and she pulled out her lab coat from her bag)

But suddenly her mouth turned in O shape to witness her white lab coat with
full of blue ink stains.And instantly gauri started giggling...

A-ye pakka uss monster aju ne kiya hoga,(angry)last time also he did the same when he lost in the game.

Then she saw gauri who was standing giving her a wide smile...

A-kya hee hee.(irritated)..ab ham kya karenge.

This whole scene is been watched by shivaay who is hiding near the stair case.At once he removed his coat and asked om to place it near the table (close to annika)without her knowledge, and om also obeyed him because he was used to all this now .But when he was about to move shivaay called him...

O-ab kya?
S-see there ,her friend(gauri) is also not having lab coat .What if she takes my coat(scared)
O- tho?(fed up)
S-tho.....(gave him a mischievous smile and he immediately pulled out Om's lab coat)
O-shivaay...(daring look)

While he gave him a pleading look...

S-and remember place the coat in such a way that she takes my coat and not your's ok...
O-chodo...(and he went slowly and placed shivaay's coat on the table first and then kept his coat quite far from there)And he returned back...

Annika didn't watch this as she was standing little far from that place and discussing with gauri what to do next.Then the bell rang, she decided to ask for permission for one last time when suddenly her eyes fell on the coat placed in the table ,she looked around to find none there ,so she immediately grabbed it.Here shivaay was jumping crazily witnessing her wearing his coat and om just nodded his head in disbelief...

A-yeah,(patting gauri from the back)

Gauri turned and asked her from where did she get this and annika instantly pointed her hand towards the table .Gauri also came there and saw another coat(om's )lying there and she took it.

G-chal ,let's go(smiling)
A-where did you find this?
G-where there is a will, there is a way(smirking and pulled annika into the lab)

Here shivaay was still smiling widely ...

O-what now?
S-chal om let's go we have to find lab coat for us,let's go ask our juniors (pulling him)and they went from there...

At noon

Since they had a common subject this semester the HOD has decided to combine both the classes for that specific subject.

This was announced in shivaay's class...

S-om,(excited)did you listen it's her department ,it's...it's annika's class(smiling like maniac)

While om just smacked his head with his hand.But shivaay's eyes was eagerly fixed near the doorstep. And there she entered ,as always chatting with gauri .She was continuously murmuring gauri to catch the last seat,she actually didn't look at anyone but on the other side every other boys were gawking at her with  their lusty eyes.

Shivaay who was burning watching this instantly switched off all the lights and the room was filled with darkness and everyone thought that it might be due to power cut.Annika then caught her place at the last row beside gauri.Making sure that she went to her place ,shivaay put the lights on.Shivaay was not very close from annika's place as he was sitting in the side bench ,but still every now and then his eyes were searching to find a glimpse of her .

He felt an extreme sukoon watching her as his heart was fluttering more feeling her presence,and he was living his every moment to the fullest.While om pulled him from his thoughts and told"now you won't bunk this class right"(teasingly).Shivaay gave him daring glare and again continued his work .And he was keenly watching her antics, she never listened to the class.She was continuously rotating her pen, fidgeting her fists,and disturbed gauri by mumbling something in her ears once in every five minutes."She is crazy"he thought.

But his trail of thoughts were broken when he found the hell bell ringing...

S-(irritated)when it has to it won't, idiotic bell.

And om was just laughing at his brother suffering from high love-ophobia...

Shivaay saw her walking out of his class with a dissapointed face when om patted him...

O- don't worry bhai,you have a one full semester.Now common get up ,I'm hungry let's go to the canteen.

Shivaay also went with him,(sending a million thanks to God in mind)

In a room full of art ,I'd still stare at you💞

Precap-will annika meet shivaay?
