Ragini quickly brushed her hair and tied it with a band in neat pony tail and flipped it back. Dabbing a bit of foundation she was all set to leave to college. Grabbing her handbag she turned and saw Diya walking inside the room with a tray in her hand.

“You aren't ready yet D. You are gonna miss the first period” Ragini looked at her sister. “I don't need half the time you take. So chill” Diya bit the toast from the plate. “Have you even brushed?” Ragini looked at her twin sister making weird face. “I did. But I wonder what's with the new dress?” Diya analyzed her sister's new style. “Why should I tell you?” Ragini rolled her eyes.

“You should. Because what if...” Diya swayed the tray in front of Ragini threatening to drop it on her. “D... Stop” Ragini looked worried. “Ha ha. It was fun” Diya laughed. “You know what's actually funny” Ragini gave a tight smile to Diya.

She flipped the tray and all the stuff fell on Diya's sweatshirt. Diya's eyes went wide and she looked at herself. She was a complete mess and she glared her twin sister who was laughing.

“You know what's funnier?” Diya smirked and approached Ragini and hugged her tight so that all the stuff in her dress gets transferred to Ragini's dress. “What the hell D?” Ragini screamed looking at herself. “You asked for it” Diya smirked and walked to the washroom to clean herself. Ragini pushed her aside and walked to the washroom.

“Hey...” Diya hissed looking at the closed door of the washroom. “I curse you twin sister you are gonna pay for this mess” she huffed and waited outside the washroom.

Ragini opened the closet and Diya who walked out of the washroom looked at her confused. “You forgot your closet is baby pink colour with those freaky barbie dolls” she walked to Ragini who was standing in front of a gray closet which belonged to Diya.

“Oh don't worry I am not suffering with colour blindness.” Ragini took out a hanger. Diya's eyes widened looking at the dress in Ragini's hand. “You are not doing this” Diya tried to grab the dress but Ragini moved her hand away. “This is ultimatum of annoyance twin sister. Give my dress back. I bought it in bargain for the day I have to wear that angel dress. You cannot take it okay” Diya danced across Ragini trying to get the dress.

But Ragini was too quick. At one point Diya stretched herself more and as a result fell on the bed. “I wish you weren't sleeping on that basket ball in gym classes twin sister. You would have got your dress back” Ragini ran inside the changing room and Diya huffed getting up and sitting on the bed.

Ragini walked out of the changing room wearing the dress and walked few steps in front of Diya who was fuming now. She tried to hold the dress. “Aaahaa... you will tear it” Ragini stopped her and Diya fumed looking at her sister.

“I am not gonna let this go unless I even it” Diya smirked and Ragini gave an innocent look to Diya. “Awww. You look adorable with that revenge feel on your face” Ragini walked from there holding her handbag. “Arghhh” Diya screamed not able to digest the fact that her new dress is now worn by her twin sister.

Rebecca waved at Ragini when she spotted her in the hallway. Ragini reached their locker and opened it to take her belongings and placed her bag inside it. Then they started to move towards the class.

“Mine...mine... someone has got good fashion sense after that steamy kiss” Rebecca nudged Ragini's shoulder. “zip it Reb” Ragini glared her friend who smiled back mischievously.

“If anyone heard it... anyone? What if Karan heard it?” “What if I heard what?” Ragini closed her eyes tight hearing that voice. “No... please no.. God. Why have you made me the child of bad luck suddenly” Ragini whispered looking up.

“He is gonna start cry if you don't turn” Rebecca leaned to Ragini still looking at Karan. “I can't... I don't want to see him at this time” Ragini looked at Rebecca helplessly. Rebecca gave a sympathetic look to her best friend. Then she turned her gaze to look at Karan.

“Hey Karan. Mr. Fryer was memorizing your name from long time. Dude why don't you pay a visit to the desperate old man?” Rebecca smiled. “Are you serious?” Karan asked with wide eyes. Rebecca nodded her head covering with the fake innocence.

“Thank god” Ragini rested her head on Rebecca's shoulder as she felt peak of weakness suddenly and also the relaxation at the same time. “Where is D?” Rebecca asked changing the topic.

“She probably might be planning something to take revenge” Ragini chuckled and narrated Rebecca the morning brawl. “You both make me feel your brains stopped growing after your childhood” Rebecca nodded her head.

When it was Sanskar's class Diya was all alert. She knew he has one agenda of teaching and that's punishing her. She did not wanted to give him more reasons to do that.

Sanskar entered the class and started with his lecture. He was more relaxed today and he behaved well with Diya like how he behaved with all his other students which sure shocked Diya who was expecting him to punish her with next chapter exercises so she was all prepared with the assignment but to her dismay Sanskar did not punish her today.

“Sir” she called for him when he was leaving the class. Sanskar turned to her and looked confused. “You forgot something” she said and Sanskar looked at the table to see what has he forgotten.

“You forgot to punish me” she said and Sanskar turned his gaze to her. “I can't keep punishing you always Diya” he said and was about to turn.

“But you haven't left a single day when you did not punish me. This feel of not getting punished sucks. So please punish me” she said. He turned to her and chuckled.

“Hakuna Matata... Diya. Life is too short for worries” he walked from there leaving a thunder struck Diya rooted in her place.

“Are you kidding me?” she said after a pause not able to believe what she just witnessed. She held her classmates hand who was walking beside her and pinched him. He winced in pain. “I am sorry” she apologized with the same shocked face.

She walked out of the class and found Sanskar walking to his next class with all smiles. She shook her head to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

****.****

Karan walked behind Rebecca after the dance classes were over. “Reb.. come on.. you can't do this with me. Tell me what's wrong with her? Why is she avoiding me?” he asked and Rebecca stopped looking at him. 'She kissed your cousin and he is in love with her  now. Do you need more reasons for her behavior?' Rebecca thought in her mind and Karan watched her waiting for her response.

“Are you even listening?”he waved his hands in front of her and she landed back from her world of thoughts. “Um... Karan” she began to speak and tried to get a reason but her brain was currently blocked.

“Reb..” Diya stood in front of her and behind Karan whose face lighted up listening to Diya's voice. “Oh thank god” Karan turned to hug Diya who was surprised and Rebecca's eyes went wide as she watched Diya. “You scared me sunshine” he said and took a deep breath.

Diya looked at Rebecca who was nervous. Diya just smiled at Karan. “Why are you avoiding me?” he asked holding her hands and Diya looked at Rebecca who requested her to manage. Diya turned her gaze to Karan and looked in his eyes which were slightly glistened. “Hey Prince Charming are you crying?” she asked and he nodded his head stretching his lips. “I am not amused” he crossed his arms.

Ragini who was avoiding Karan looked around carefully as she walked in the hallway but she missed this tall handsome professor and bumped into him.

“I'm sorry” she said without looking up. As she walked past him she found Diya who was talking to Karan. Her eyes went wide. Before she could act further she was pulled aside by a strong hand. She was about to scream but her mouth was covered by a hand and she looked up shocked to find Sanskar who signed her to stay quite.

Diya watched this in horror. Sanskar was caressing his finger on Ragini's cheek. Diya was alerted when she realized Karan was about to turn. She stopped him holding his shoulders and looked into his eyes straight.

“Um... Karan. Can we go outside it is so suffocating here” Diya acted uneasy and Karan neared her holding her with concern. “Yeah come” he said and was about to turn behind him but Diya placed her hand over his chest stopping him.

“That's boring way to go” she smiled weakly at him and he looked at her confused. “Okay” he said and walked the other side. Diya signed Rebecca to turn without Karan noticing it and walked from there.

Rebecca closed her mouth shocked as she saw Sanskar teasing Ragini who was trying to get out of his hold. “I am gonna get killed by any one of these cousins for sure because they won't risk their girlfriend's life” she said horrified and walked from there.

“Let me go” Ragini tried to get out of Sanskar's hold. He dragged her and she fell on his chest and looked into his hazel eyes which made her knees weak. “I like the way you become speechless” he smirked nearing her face and she stood unmoved. He kissed her wrist and she closed her eyes burrowing her eyebrows. “And I like the way your skin feels when I kiss you” he whispered huskily in her ear and she blushed hard and a shy smile crept over her  lips.

“And I love the way you go all red hearing my voice” he lightly kissed her cheek and she bent her head to touch her shoulder. “Please” she pleaded him. “Let me go” she opened her eyes staring into his passion filled eyes. “Only if you agree” he said placing her palm on his cheek and looked at her with all the love he had and that made her melt.

“I know we did not start it on a good note.. I.. I want to rectify this. Will you come with me on a date tonight?” he asked and she  couldn't help but smile looking at that innocence on his face while he nervously waited for her to say yes. “What if I say NO” she asked and his face was covered with pain and Ragini could not watch him in that state. “I will persuade you” he looked into her eyes.

“Okay” she said with her glassy eyes. “Is it a yes?” he asked surprised. She nodded her head positively. “Yes” he jumped in his place and kissed her cheek and ran from there like a small kid who got his favorite chocolate. Ragini smiled looking at his excitement.

“Are you out of your mind?” Rebecca asked and Ragini turned to look at her. “Why did you say yes?” she asked confused. Ragini just then realized what she actually did lost. “Damn” she placed her hand on her head.

“D.....” she cried like a small kid and walked to her twin sister.  

Karan was consoling Diya who now looked at him with a smile. “I am okay Karan” she said with a smile. “D....” she heard a voice and looked up to find nobody. But she sure heard Ragini's voice.

Rebecca dragged Ragini back still covering her mouth. “Every time Ragzee. How do you end up making D the scapegoat?” Rebecca asked fuming crossing her arms.

Ragini did not understood. “The time you were letting that Professor stroke your cheek Diya took Karan away so that he don't see that” Rebecca signed her to look in a direction where Karan was laughing speaking to Diya.

Ragini saw a different spark in Diya's eyes when she was laughing with Karan. She smiled looking at her sister. “I am sorry” she apologized to Rebecca.

The bell rang and Karan bid Diya bye and walked to his next class. Ragini walked to Diya and was about to hug her but Diya stopped her. “What the hell was that?” she asked Ragini crossing her arms.

“That... that... was unintended” Ragini smiled weakly. “Really? It did not look like it was unintended. For god sake Ragzee he is a professor. And you are dating Karan what about him? Have you lost it?” Diya asked angry.

“Listen to me first D” Ragini pleaded her. “Nothing in the world...nothing explains why did you let him to come so close to you.” Diya huffed.

“I know” Ragini closed her eyes and sat on the bench helplessly.

“Ragzee” Diya placed her hand on Ragini's shoulder. “This isn't you. You never were so weak to sit helplessly and feel dejected for your deeds. You never did something of this sort. Then why now? What changed?” Diya asked and Ragini looked at her.

“He happened” Ragini said and then narrated whatever happened between her and Sanskar in the trek camp.

“You did what?” she suddenly got up shocked. “I didn't...” Ragini cried. “But you let him kiss you” she said covering her mouth. Suddenly her kiss with Karan flashed in her mind. 'Should I tell this to Ragzee. No... she is already broken' Diya thought in her mind.

“He is gonna pay for this. Mr. Mathematician gonna pay for screwing your mind.” Diya said determined.

Karan who walked inside his class neared the window beside his seat. He looked out of it and what he saw shocked him.

“Karan”  Shane screamed worried when he saw Karan fainting. All his classmates gathered around him worried.
