Kabir moved a bit in sleep, Manjot woke up just to make sure he was fine. He looked at the time, 2:17am.

He decided to check if Bandana was sleeping.

She was sleeping on a chair in her bedroom's balcony.

"Bandana" He said, "Bandana utho" He said tapping on her shoulder. She opened her eyes.

"Andar bed pe so jao" He said, "Kabir so gaya?" She asked.

"Uski fikar mat karo, woh kabka soya hua hai. Me hu uske pass" He said. She nodded and went inside.

She laid on the bed, "tum kaho to me yaha ruku jab takk tumhe neend nhi aati?" He asked, "nhi me so jaungi, tum jaao" She said.

He was about to leave, "Manjot" She said, "thank you".

"Tum Kabir ko bata kyu nhi deti ke uske papa kon hai?" He finally asked, she sighed, "usko tab bataungi jab mujhe khud pata hoga" She said.

"What?" Manjot asked confused, "good night" She said ignoring him and closing her eyes.

Manjot left the room, what did she mean by that!? She didn't know who Kabir's father was, she didn't know who she made out with!?

So many questions about her character were in his mind now, but soon he understood that he was nobody to question her. It was her life, and she had the right to do everything she wanted to do with it.

Sameeksha's alarm went off and she woke up. On her left, she saw someone holding her hand. When she sat on the bed, she found Abhishek sleeping on the floor.

"Abhishek" She said trying to wake him up, "yaha kyu soe ho?" She asked.

He opened his eyes, "tum uth geyi?" He asked. "Haan par tum yaha kyu soe the?" She asked again.

"Me...kyu..." He closed his eyes and started thinking, "sochke bata dena" She said trying to stand up.

"Yaad aaya! Yaad aaya!!" He said holding her hand, "woh..." He said looking down, "kya?" She asked, "maafi maangni thi" He said.

"Maafi? Kyu?" She asked, "bano mat. I know that you know" He said making a poker face.

"Boht jaldi aa gey maafi maangne" She said with a fake smile. She stood up and started walking towards the bathroom, "Sameeksha yaar ruko na" He said, "velli nhi hu me" She said closing the door.

"Fucking why" He cursed in a low voice, "itni ajeeb position me soya bhi iske chakkar me, upar se training pe aur tel niklega" He said sitting on the bed.

She came out after sometime. "Bade dheet ho tum" She said, "jaao" She said when he didn't move.

"Pehle maafi" He said, "nhi jaoge?" She asked, "pehle maafi" He said, "pakki baat hai?" She asked, "haan" He replied.

"Last chance, pakka nhi jaaoge?" She asked, "haan" He nodded, "theek hai, me hi chali jaati hu" She said walking toward the door.

"Ruko ruko ruko" He said stopping her and locking the door, "Abhishek badtameezi mat karo. Yahi peet diye jaoge" She said.

"Woh karna hota to tum kabka kar chuki hoti" He said looking in her eyes, she lowered her lashes.

"Tum pe apni energy kyu waste karu me?" She asked, "to maafi deke baat khatam karo na. Mene konsa jaan boojhke kiss kia tha tumhe" He said tired.

"Hato saamne se aur darwaza kholo" She said.

"Faltu ka drama kyu kar rhi ho? Police wali ho, effort daale bager mujhe saamne se hata sakti ho" He said, "I know you're enjoying this" He smirked.

She glared at him, he cocked his eyebrows. She couldn't control it and burst into a laughter.

"Kia maaf" She said, "hah!! I knew it babe!!" He said excited.

"I hate you" She said but couldn't control her smile, "I love you too" He smiled looking at her, "har ladki ko yehi bolte hoge na?" She asked before leaving.

He stood still, looking at her leaving, "pata nhi, itne pyaar se kabhi kisi ko nhi bola" He said looking away.

Bandana was taking Manjot and Abhishek to a practice session. Usually Manjot sat next to Bandana, on the front passenger's seat. This time, he decided to sit at the back.

Bandana looked at him through the rear view mirror. He was quiet, which was very unusual. Bandana knew that it was because of the brief conversation that took place between them last night.

They cracked on with training once they reached the stadium, Bandana sat on a bench.

She received Sameeksha's call, "kucch baat hui usse?" Sameeksha asked, "nhi. Woh kyu baat karega? Yehi soch raha hoga me kesi characterless ladki hu" Bandana said looking down.

"Kesi baate kar rhi hai? Khud usse baat kar le na" Sameeksha said. "Mera kya lagta hai woh jo me tension lu ke woh kya soch raha hai mere bareme?" Bandana asked annoyed.

"Bandana, I know you care about this shit" Sameeksha said, Bandana sighed.

"Aur yeh bhi ho sakta hai ke teri wajah se Manjot Kabir se bhi door rehne lage" Sameeksha explained, "accha theek hai, kar lungi usse baat" Bandana said.
