{CONSOLIDATING HARMONY IS SET IN THE BACKDROP OF THE BEAUTIFUL CITY - LONDON. Complied a small, quick video showing London in 50 seconds. And don't forget to meet CAM, CHRIS & SHIKA at the end of this chapter. ;)}

"Hey there, 'Golden Dargon'!" Cameron greeted Karthik, as soon as the latter ran into the lobby.

Karthik was surprised to see Cameron leisurely sitting on the couch devouring a chocolate bar. He looked perfectly fine, turned his gaze to Anuradha walking in and back to Cameron.

"I thought something happened to you"

Thinking for a couple of seconds, Cameron responded. "Yeah, I go crazy when I see chocolates. I almost cried when Lisa didn't want to give me one." Cameron laughed reminiscing his own act a while ago.

"Sorry!" Anuradha gave a mischief smile to Karthik before switching gaze to Cameron who had no idea what happened. Something strike him in a second.

"Did you break someone's head again? Don't give that smile, Devil!" Cameron almost walked out of the corridor to check if anyone was hurt.

"No! I didn't break anyone's head, Cameron. I just said it was an emergency and that you needed him. Wait did you just call me DEVIL?" Anuradha placed her hands in her hips.

"And why would I need him?" he asked frowning, completely ignoring her question.

"Because he needed you. To get escaped from the girls. I just helped, that's all." Shrugging, she dropped the remaining notice and her bag on the table. Anuradha snatched the quarter chocolate bar that was left from Cameron.

"Lisa told me that she gave chocolates to all but none left for me so, she asked me to get my share from you" sticking her tongue out, Anuradha took a bite from the chocolate and returned the remaining back to him.

"You took almost half that was left!" he yelled, Anuradha ignored Cameron looking away.

"Anyway, this is Anuradha my very first friend I fished out on the first day of college and this is Karthik Manohar the best musician in college." Both exchanged a formal smile and shook hands.

"Thanks for helping."

"Don't be. You don't need to thank me, you really looked irritated with them so, I thought of helping."

-*-*-*-*-*-

Anuradha had left the Faculty of Music, leaving the boys behind after getting a call from Shika.

"Anuradha is one of my best friend and someone I look up to. She is the only one who comes first when anyone needs help just like what she did for you. You don't even need to ask and she is there to help you." Cameron was all about praising Anuradha as they walked back to the hostel.

"I know, I have been helped by her for the third time now."

"Third time! Really? That idiot did not tell me anything about this at all"

"Idiot? You just said you look up to her and now you call her idiot?" Karthik stopped midway.

"Oh, we call each other with all kinds of names that depends on the situation. No matter what I call her, she is always my Gorgeous."

'Situation' that reminded Karthik about 'breaking heads'. "Talking about situation, I heard you asked her if she broke anyone's head again. What is that about?" Karthik asked.

Karthik was curious to know more about the 'breaking head' from Cameron since he knew better than the rest.

"She almost break Christopher's head last semester. Not literally break but what she did could have possibly made him bleed. It was Wednesday, a Fashion event was being held. Earlier that day, Christopher had been nagging her to go out with him and his constant nagging had reached her limits. So, just to let out her frustration, Anuradha wanted to attack him." Cameron let out a laugh shaking his head.

"Most of the students were at the courtyard where the event took place, Christopher was there too with his friends. Anuradha had pulled me to a corner and asked me to help her, which I obviously, I refused to do. So, she went for it. If Christopher had not moved, the stone might have hit his head"

"How big was that stone?" the curious Karthik asked.

"As big as a marble. Oh wait! It was actually a marble" Cameron confirmed.

Second time hearing about her attack still astonished him. Probably it was equally as irritating as the girls for him or more that she went to such extent.

They silently walked up the staircase to their respective room with Cameron walking behind Karthik slowly, busy with his phone. Karthik's mind however, went back to Anuradha.

He felt like he just met a Superhero, just like those in the movies who helps without expecting anything in return. Her helping nature definitely added jewel to the crown.

"Hey, Karthik!" Cameron called him. "I need you to play for the opening of the Art Festival tomorrow. Can you?" Cameron asked almost pleading.

"You will help the club to get more members, you have to help me win the bet I made with Anuradha. Please, you are the only wizard I have." Cameron joined his palm together, begging.

"Fine. Fine. Now, go away," agreeing to Cameron's request, Karthik headed to his room.

Digging his ever-messy bag, Karthik fished out two leaflets.

"Dance and Drama Club Recruitment. Music Club, A Musical Recruitment" He read out loud what was written on the two leaflets, he stood still regulating on how his remaining semesters going to be.

"Which one...."
