Mehak typed her reply.
M: “boring. I couldn’t find anything”
S: “Do you need any help  ”
M: “How??”
S: “Try something new and different. Something you haven’t tried till now.”

Next day at work site.
Mehak and Shaurya meet during the work.
S: Rajeev, we have to finish the 4th floor as soon as possible.
R: Yes sir. We will put additional workers there.
M: but we can’t delay other works. We don’t have additional workers to manage. I think we have to arrange for more workers to finish 4th floor.
R: but mehak it will take time for that. And it’s urgent.
M: but we don’t have any other way.
S: Mehak, what do you suggest to do?
M: I think we have to get some workers.
R: it’s not easy to get trained workers soo fast.
M: I am not talking about trained workers. I am talking about daily wages workers. We can rearrange our workers in the new area and get the daily wagers as helpers. It will give as more workers strength without compromising quality.
S: I think it is a good idea. What you say Rajeev?
R: Yes sir. It’s a brilliant plan.
S: ok then. We can do that. Rajeev
R: Yes?
S: arrange for daily workers from tomorrow itself. Mehak, I have to get the rearrangement papers done by the evening.
R: Yes sir.
Rajeev leave from there.
M: I will get the papers ready.
S: ok.
Mehak was about to leave.
S: wait. How was your shopping? Do you find something?
M: ya.. I got something..
S: something new and different I hope..?
M: new and different..
S: Good..
Mehak smiles and leaves from there.

On the day of alumni.
Mehak got ready.
Nehal: Wow!! Di, you look soo different..
M: did I look ok? I mean, I am weird toh nehi hain na??
Nehal: no!! it’s different in a good manner. Your friends will be shocked to see you in your new look.
Mehak smiles and left with Sonal.
They reach their college and went to the auditorium. Sonal and Mehak meet their class mates.
Everyone was surprised seeing Mehak in her new getup. All compliment her for her new look.
Mehak’s eyes were searching for Shaurya. But Shaurya was nowhere to see.
Sonal: Princess is all ready, but prince charming is nowhere to see right?
M: Stop it Sonal..
Sonal: Come on.. you were looking for him na?
M: ya..
Sonal: Just call him.
M: no, what will he think?? I can’t be soo desperate for him..
Sonal: You are desperate.. and he will think you loves him, and its true right..
M: shut up Sonal! It’s not love and all.. it’s nothing in that sort..
Sonal: ok, lie to me.. but stop lying to yourself yaar…
They heard a sudden hush of girls saying Shaurya’s name. Mehak was soo happy to hear his name. But all her happiness dies knowing, he is alone.. Sruti is come with him…
