Raavi was attending her lectures for the first time in her life. The truth was, she was hiding from Kaveri in case she came up with more questions. However, to her horror, the last lecture got cancelled suddenly and she was forced to leave her class. Raavi expected Kaveri to be standing outside her class ready to jump with her questions. That didn't happen.

Kirti suggested they take the staircase around the back and run before anyone catch them. Raavi agreed but before they could leave, she saw Shiva's bike parked in the campus. Why was he here? She rushed down to where his bike was parked but he was no where to be seen.

Then she remembered he must be somewhere near the MBA building to meet Dev. Raavi forgot about her plan of running away and instead she went to find Shiva. She and Kirti ran to the MBA building. Shiva was right there talking to Kaveri, Rishita and Dev.

Raavi panicked. She felt air leaving her lungs and suddenly felt faint. What if he told everyone that they had never slept together? She was going to be branded a liar. Why did Shiva have to ruin everything for her? Rishita suddenly caught Raavi's eyes and called her over.

Raavi walked over to the group, still trembling in fear. To her surprise Shiva smiled at her and put his around her as he pulled her closer to him. Raavi was absolutely shocked as to what was going on. Never before had Shiva shown such affection to her.

"Shiva ne hume sab bata diya." Rishita said. "Tune jhooth bola tha humse."

Raavi started panicking once more, thinking that Shiva told them everything. He was going to get her ostricized from her group.

"Tune propose kiya tha Shiva ko." Rishita said.

"Apne usual ziddi andaaz mein. Kiss ke saath." Shiva whispered the last bit in her ear.

Raavi turned red as he said that. On one hand, she was relieved that he hadn't revealed the truth but on the other hand, she couldn't understand why he was playing along with her. Raavi smiled at him anyways. He had saved her reputation.

"Tum dono ek saath kitne cute lagte ho." Kaveri exclaimed.

"Bhai tune bataya kyu nahi pehle?" Dev was still having a hard time looking at his brother.

"Kuch secrets toh bante hai. Aur waise bhi, yeh maami ki behen ki beti, iske pet mein baat rehti kaha hai. Mujhe toh pata tha yeh zaroor ugal degi."

Rimi came there looking absolutely shocked. She was almost sure that Raavi had been lying about her and Shiva, but watching him hold her by her waist dashed any hope she had in mind. She was absolutely furious. Why Raavi? Rimi was smarter, prettier and sexier. So why did he have to go with Raavi? Nope, she had to do something.

Rimi walked there fast and tripped right in front of Shiva. He left Raavi to catch Rimi and the drink she was holding splashed onto his shirt. Rimi enjoyed the feel of his hands on her waist as he caught her, but he straightened her up quickly and left her.

"Arrey Shiva, tumhari shirt kharab ho gayi. Ruko main saaf kar deti hu." Rimi took her napkin and started cleaning his shirt.

Raavi felt a tinge of irritation as she saw Rimi touching Shiva. She shouldn't be going around cleaning others' boyfriends' shirts. Raavi held her hand and removed it. Both Rimi and Shiva were surprised by her gesture.

"Main kar dungi Rimi. Tu fikr mat kar." Raavi said sweetly.

"Awww possessive!" Rishita exclaimed. "Yaar you guys are so sweet together."

"Sweet toh yeh hain." Shiva kissed her cheek.

Raavi again turned red like a tomato. What was up with Shiva? Where did her angry Shiva go? And what was this romantic Shiva doing in his place?

"Shiva, yeh sab kya tha? Yeh achanak se romantic banne ki acting kaise?" Raavi straightaway asked him as she got down from his bike in front of the store.

"Kya karu? Mood hi aisa hai. Aur tu bhi toh aaj itni hot lag rahi hai."

Raavi's mouth dropped open. Did jangli bhalu just call her hot? Shiva suddenly pulled her closer and Raavi started looking here and there. They were out in the middle of the road in the middle of the day. Anyone could see them.

"Shiva kya kar raha hai? Hum raaste mein hai. Koi dekh lega." Raavi moved away from him.

"Dekhne de na. Kya fark padhta hai. Waise bhi tujhe yaad hai tune kya kaha tha?"

"Kya?"

"Ki tu kuch bhi karegi. 'Tu bas hukum kar'. Toh hain kuch mere dimaag mein jo tujhe karna hai." Shiva said with a smirk.

"Kya karna hai mujhe?" Raavi asked with a thudding heart.

"Chipkali, aisi baatein bhari dopahar mein kaha hoti hai? Aaj raat ko dukaan bandh hone pe aana. Wahi bataunga." Shiva winked.

Shiva went to the store and Raavi just stood there confused as to what was happening. Why did Shiva call her to meet at night? Oh god, he was going to make her clean the store. That's why he asked her to come at night after closing time. Raavi frowned. She didn't want to sweep the store. But she really had no choice.

Kirti called Raavi just before she was about to go meet Shiva in the store. Raavi was still deciding what to wear, and cursing herself. If she hadn't told this lie, she wouldn't have to deal with Kaveri's questions, and Shiva's demand of cleaning the store. She even lost her chance with Dev. Raavi picked up Kirti's call.

"Bol."

"Raavi, mujhe pata chal gaya Rimi itna weird kyu behave kar rahi hai aajkal." Kaveri was bursting with excitement.

"Kyu?"

"Main uske ghar gayi thi project ke liye. Waha maine uski diary dekh li galti se. Shiva ke photos chipke the har page pe. Use Shiva pasand hai."

Raavi gasped. "Mere boyfriend pe nazar daalke rakhi hai yeh Rimi? Uski toh main class lungi. Aaj kaise mere Shiva ki shirt pochne mein lag gayi. Jaise main marr chuki hu. Woh bhi mere saamne!"

"Raavi, tu shayad bhul rahi hai. Shiva tera real boyfriend nahi hai." Kirti reminded her.

"Haa par Rimi ke saamne toh hai na. Dekh main bata rahi hu, agar usne kuch ulta seedha kiya na toh main uska muh noch lungi."

"Raavi, tu officially pagal ho chuki hai." Kirti told her.

"Tu dimaag mat khaa Kirti. Mujhe Shiva se milne jana hai."

Raavi decided to wear a simple top with jeans in case he would make her clean the store. She didn't want her clothes to get dirty. Finally looking at herself in the mirror, Raavi left for Pandya Store.
