Sameeksha woke up a little late the next day. She couldn't hear anybody talking, everyone probably left the house for some work.

She took a shower and had some breakfast. It was 11am, she went to the Ganpati temple. All the elephants used to go there to eat lunch every day and Vidyut used to prepare food for them.

To her surprise, Dilin was there instead of Vidyut. "Raah!" She said loudly, Dilin startled and immediately turned back. "Raah Raah mat chillaya kar. Kisi ne sun lia to meri band bajaenge" He said, she chuckled. "Par aap yaha kese? Vidyut Bhaiya kaha hai?" She asked. "Dhakkan" He said slapping the back of her neck slightly, "kal Gurukul ke naye students aa rahe hai, classes shuru ho rhi hai kal se. Uski tayaari me lage hue hai" He said. "Oh shit!" She said, Dilin looked at her, "sorry...oh tatti!" She said. "Sameeksha yaar!" He said in disgust. Sameeksha started laughing.

"Ab masti band. Kal se tera bhi first year start hoga" He said, "vahi to me sochu! Kucch to khaas hone wala tha in dino" She said. "Accha aap to graduate ho, koi tips do na" She said. "Par me yaha se thodi graduate hua hu" He said, "arey matter nhi karta" She said.

"Badle me kya milega?" He asked, "ladki patwaa dungi" She said. "Chi, no!" He said. "I knew it. Aapne pehle se pataa rakhi hai" She said, he smiled and shook his head. "Haan! I knew it, aap gay ho. Bhaiya it's alright, me aapko support karungi" She said placing her hand on his shoulder. "Chup re" He said irritated, making her chuckle.

"Tip yehi hai ke mann lagake parhio, Vidyut Bhaiya ke baate dhyaan se sunio, aur gande logo se door rahio" He said. "Bhaiya me bacchi thodi hu" She said referring to the last thing he said. He sighed and looked at her, "sahi dost banaio, galat ladko se door rahio" He said. "Gurukul me help chahiye hogi, abhi tum waha jaao" He said, she nodded and left for Gurukul.

Here, Vidyut was instructing workers to do the decorations properly. Devaki was making sure that the lecture halls were clean. Once she examined everything, she went to Vidyut to ask about the next task she was supposed to do. There, she saw Karan.

"Vidyut, me kucch help kar sakta hu?" He asked, Vidyut looked at Devaki. "Student ID cards alphabetically arrange karne hai, tum dono woh kar do" He said. "Bhaiya me akele kar deti hu" Devaki said immediately. "Arey boht saare hai, tum se nhi hoga. Karan, tum iski help kardo" Vidyut said. He nodded, Devaki passed him a death glare and then went to a kind of stall where all the ID cards were.

"Listen I don't need your help. Chup chaap bethe raho yaha, sab kaam me kar lungi" She said to Karan. "Tum meri baat sun'ne ko tayaar nhi ho to me tumhari kyu sunu?" He asked. She gritted her teeth and was about to say something, "me A se K cards dekhunga, tum L ke baad wale dekho" He said. "Order mat do mujhe" She said, he shook his head and started working. "Name se arrange karne hai ya surname se?" Karan asked after some moments. "Apni marzi se sab kar rahe ho, yeh bhi apni marzi se karlo" She fake smiled. He looked at her cards, they were arranged by surnames. "Copy mat karo" She said placing her hand on the cards she arranged, "such a kid" He said shaking his head. 

Sameeksha came to ask if Vidyut needed any help. "Kaafi garmi hai aur sab dhoop me kaam kar rahe hai. Tum sabko paani pilaa do" He said. Sameeksha nodded and poured cool water in steel glasses. After giving the glasses to workers, she went to Karan and Devaki. "Yeh Sharma tumhare cards me se hai" Karan said giving Devaki an ID card. "Mere cards chori mat karo" She said, "inko chori karke me kya karunga?" He asked. She ignored him. "Bhaiya paani" Sameeksha came, he smiled and picked one glass. Sameeksha brought the tray in front of Devaki, who also picked a glass. 

"ID cards aa gaye?" Sameeksha asked excited, "me apna card dekh sakti hu?" She asked looking at both of them. "Of course" Karan said and looked at Devaki, "kya hai?" Devaki said to him rudely. He cocked his eyebrow, "iska card tumhare pass hai" He said, "K...L...M...N..." Devaki started, "oh haan" She said and started looking for Sameeksha's card.

Sameeksha was looking at the rest of the cards, suddenly her gaze stopped at one particular card. She picked it up, "ABHISHEK SHARMA?" She said loudly, grabbing Karan and Devaki's attention. "Tum jaanti ho isko?" Karan asked, "arey yeh Indian cricketer hai! Yeh yaha aa raha hai parhne?" She asked, "aa hi raha hoga, tabhi to ID card hai yaha" Devaki said. 

Sameeksha's excitement was on its peak, she immediately ran from there to tell the news to Dilin. Vidyut tried to stop her for some work, but she didn't even listen to him. When she saw Dilin, she ran to him and hugged him tightly, wrapping her legs around his waist. "Bhaiiiiiiii" She said in his ear, "kya ho gaya" He asked patting on her back. "Abhishek yaha parhne aa raha hai!" She shouted, "woh gadha haathio ke bareme parhne aa raha hai?" Dilin asked. "Bhai!" Sameeksha whined breaking the hug, he chuckled. "Sachme aa raha hai?" He asked, she nodded. "News me to aaya nhi" He said, "kal woh khud aa raha hai" She said excited, Dilin smiled looking at her.
