(Based on the short but adorable Dareya scene from the episode 'Khatre me masoom')

It's one and only you!

Shreya found herself alone with Daya in the bureau. She stole a glance at him and decided to make him uncomfortable and enjoy his cute expressions. She moved to him and started talking about some useless things. After sometime she decided to come on the point.

"Sir, mujhe aapse kuch puchna tha!" She said.

"Ha pucho na!" Daya said without noticing her mischievous stare on himself.

"Sir, us din Freddy sir ne kaha ki ek Shreya Abhijeet sir ke liye khas hai aur ek Shreya aapke liye khas hai." Shreya had said only that but Daya understood where she is heading.

Shreya added, "sir wo dusri Shreya kaun hai jo aapke liye itni khas hai?"

Daya looked at her and found her eyes glittering with naughtiness. Daya was no less than her.

He smiled, "Oh, wo actually I don't know Freddy kiske bare me baat kar raha tha. Meri life me to kai sari Shreya hain aur wo sab bahut khas hain."

Shreya narrowed her eyebrows bewildered.

Daya looked at her, "First, meri Shreya auntie. Wo humare orphanage me caretaker thi. Samajh lo unhone hi mujhe paal pos kar bada kiya hai. Main unki bahut respect karta hu. Obviously wo bahut khas hain mere liye"

Shreya looked at him in disbelief.

Daya continued, "Aur dusri meri Chemistry teacher Shreya mam. Kitni pyari teacher thi wo, har bachha unse pyar karta tha, meri to favorite thi wo. Uski wajeh se maine chemistry me 100/100 score kiya tha."

Shreya was watching him annoyingly with her mouth slightly opened.

Daya continued, "And school me meri class monitor ka naam bhi Shreya tha. She was my best friend. Wo humesha mujhe support karti thi. Mujhe uski bahut yaad aati hai. Wo bhi mere liye bahut khas hai."

Daya was speaking dramatically and Shreya started rolling her eyes in irritation.

Daya continued, "Aur pehle main jis flat me rehta tha na, uske bagal me ek ladki rehti thi, uska naam bhi Shreya tha. She was a good neighbor and a great friend too. Aur ek...

"Bas kariye!" Shreya shouted raising her hands up. Daya became silent and looked at her. She sighed, "Seedhi seedhi baat ko ghumana koi aapse sikhe" She shot a glare at him and turned to go mumbling disappointedly, "itni sari Shreya ke beech kaha yaad hoga ki ek main bhi to hu"

Daya let out a low chuckle. He caught her hand and pulled her back. Shreya collided with him. Daya held her closer by her waist and whispered, "Tum bhi nahi, tum hi ho wo Shreya. Aur koi Shreya nahi hai meri life me, it's one and only you! got it?"

Shreya looked into his eyes and almost died with the killer look he was staring at her. She couldn't help but blushed and a shy smile took it's place on her lips.
