Chapter : Pyaar Ka Practical

Anika had taken up a challenge. Ek hafta. Sirf ek hafta. She had to prove to Mr. Topper Shivay Singh Oberoi that love wasn’t just an illusion.

“Theory se zyada, practical zaroori hota hai.”

Aur agar Shivay ko love logical lagta nahi, toh Anika use logically pyaar feel karwake rahegi.

Step 1: “Accidental” Touch Theory

Next morning, Anika deliberately sat next to Shivay during breakfast instead of across from him. Bohot close.

Shivay frowned.

Shivay: "Tum saamne wali seat pe nahi baith sakti?"

Anika (innocently): "Main toh bas achhe se dikhai de isliye paas baithi hoon."

Shivay rolled his eyes and continued eating. Anika smirked. Plan shuru.

She "accidentally" brushed her hand against his while reaching for the butter.

Shivay stiffened. He quickly moved his hand away.

Shivay (irritated): "Dhyan se nahi baith sakti?"

Anika: "Arre sorry yaar, galti se ho gaya!" (Fake innocent face.)

Thodi der baad, woh phir se "accidentally" uske shoulder se takra gayi.

Shivay ki irritation badhne lagi.

Shivay: "Tumhare andar balance naam ki koi cheez hai ya nahi?"

Anika (smiling sweetly): "Nahi."

Shivay gave her an annoyed look and quickly finished his breakfast. Anika secretly mental notes le rahi thi.

“Hmmm… thoda awkward zaroor hua, but abhi bhi solid proof nahi mila.”

Pyaar ka theorem prove karna tha, toh aur experiments karne padenge.

Step 2: “Cinematic Love Moments” Experiment

Anika ne romance movies dekhi thi. Pyaar express karne ke cinematic tareeqe bhi hote hain.

That night, she deliberately dropped a book near Shivay’s study table.

Anika: "Shivay, please uthane mein help kar do!"

Shivay sighed but leaned down to pick it up.

Jaise hi Shivay utha raha tha, Anika bhi jhuk gayi.

Aur bilkul filmy tareeke se… unke sir takraa gaye.

Thud!

Shivay: "Oww!"

Anika (rubbing forehead): "Mera bhi oww!"

Shivay narrowed his eyes at her.

Shivay: "Tumne jaan bujh ke kiya na?"

Anika (gasps dramatically): "Main itni bhi besharam nahi hoon!"

Shivay gave her a look that clearly said, “Mujhe doubt hai.”

But phir bhi, thodi der tak Shivay ne forehead rub kiya. Matlab… impact laga tha!

Anika ne dimag mein likh liya: “Step 2 bhi thoda successful raha.”

Step 3: Jealousy Inducing Theory

Shivay emotions nahi feel karta? Chalo dekhte hain agar thoda jealousy ka formula use hota hai ya nahi.

Next day, Anika deliberately phone pe flirt karne ka natak karne lagi.

Anika (fake excited tone): "Oh my God, really? Tumne mere liye itna socha?"

Shivay, jo saamne baitha book padh raha tha, slightly looked up.

Anika: "Aww! Tum kitne sweet ho! Mujhe tumse milne ka intezaar rahega."

Shivay ne finally book side rakhi.

Shivay (cold tone): "Kaun?"

Anika (smirking inside but acting clueless): "Kaun kaun?"

Shivay: "Jisse tum baat kar rahi thi."

Anika: "Oh, bas ek dost hai!"

Shivay narrowed his eyes.

Shivay: "Tumhare dost kabse itne sweet hone lage?"

Anika: "Matlab tumhe problem ho rahi hai?"

Shivay (quickly): "Mujhe kyu problem hogi?"

Anika (grinning): "Sach? Bilkul bhi?"

Shivay uski smirk dekh ke thoda awkward feel karne laga.

Bingo. Experiment successful.

Shivay’s Internal Calculation

Pehle takraane wala scene. Phir uska itna close aana. Aur ab yeh flirting.

Shivay ka dimaag fast calculation kar raha tha:

"Yeh sab coincidence hai ya yeh ladki kuch zyada hi nautanki kar rahi hai?"

Shivay (thinking): "Pyaar logical nahi hota. Mujhe koi impact nahi ho raha. Bilkul bhi nahi."

…Ya ho raha hai?
