Naina was an ambitious girl. She had only one priority in her life- to fulfil her dad's dream. After her Engineering she did exactly what her dad wanted. Though this was not something of her interest, but she had to! 3 months later she got a job and moved out of the city.

2 Years passed working as a Software Developer in an MNC in Pune. It was her dad's wish that Naina should work in an MNC. One day she received a mail from the company that due to her dedication, she had been made in-charge of a new department and now her task was to manage 12 Assistant Developers who were under her administration. She was promoted to Senior Software Developer. But as said, there are two sides of a coin- she was transferred to a new city- Kolkata.

A week later she took her charge in Kolkata, and started leading the team. She was happy coz this city made her feel as if she was in her Home. Yeah, she was a Bong. Long hairs, pretty eyes, a good singer, a dancer and her favourite part-time job was to try those lip-smacking dishes on the streets which were on her way back to home.

A year had already passed and suddenly she was told by the Officials that the team size was now increased to 24, just double of what she use to manage. The next line gave her a sigh of relief that another Developer would be joining her soon. She was all set to meet the Senior Developer who was about to join by tomorrow. Next morning as usual, she entered her cabin,switched on the PC, logged into the system and suddenly she was called by her Manager immediately on the intercom. She ran to the cabin, managing her curly hairs that got tangled every now and then. She was introduced to her new partner in managing the team, Arjun. He was earlier working in Noida and was transferred to the same city.Later Arjun was introduced to the team members whom he was supposed to manage.

Resultant of managing the same team made them friends.Soon they both got introduced to the fact, that they share the same taste of food, be it less sugar and more coffee combination or the interest of trying those street side momos.This addiction towards street food made them spend more time together even after office hours. They were compatible in all ways, Naina being a chirpy girl and Arjun being a good listener made them good friends and they use to share their past and future plans.

Naina was on leave as she visited her hometown, somehow in background she was missing Arjun and was wandering what he might be doing in office now?in lunch? It was an hour later suddenly her phone vibrated with a notification flashing " Message from Arjun". She smiled and reverted. The conversation lasted till midnight over regular intervals. During on her off duty hours she was always worried about Arjun, as on one evening while discussing about past experiences he disclosed the fact that how he was betrayed by the girl he was so much in love with. Realizing the pain he was going through made Naina took a little more care about him and trying ways to make him happy. All she ever wanted was to see Arjun smiling. She started looking for ways that made him forget his past, and her plans worked.

Sometime later Naina added another priority to her life- to make Arjun happy. She discovered that she had fallen for him, but Arjun was unaware of it. She was madly in love but didn't confessed it, as she never wanted to create a chaos in their friendship, thinking how to work together if he didn't felt the same? as their friendship was beyond the walls of "just friends". She decided to keep it a secret, but never missed a chance to make him happy. Be it surprising him with presents,home-made cakes or his favourite gajar ka halwa.

Tears rolled down her eyes when she was updated by Arjun that he is going to visit one of an alliance his dad chose for him. Arjun wanted Naina to be with him as she was his Lady Luck. The alliance was from the same city, so no chance for her to deny. Somehow controlling her emotions, she had to be with him and help him in selecting the right girl. The alliance was a perfect match for Arjun.Since her priority was his smile, she had to be with him during his special events of his marriage. Naina spent insomniac nights during the days of his courtship,but didnt ever let him knew that all she did for him was her LOVE for a guy who was never going to come to her. She never blamed Arjun for being so selfish!! She just experienced THAT form of love where she didn't got what she deserved, but his smile was something that made her forget everything!!
