Roli got down from the autorickshaw. Ansh was waiting for her. She walked up to him. "Hey," Her friends greeted Ansh. Ansh greeted them. His eyes lingered on Roli for a second. She was looking cute in her white skirt and baby blue top.

But Dhun walking to the gate saw them. She took her mobile and called Rthvik, "Where are you? Your sister is here at the gate." She said to him.

In a second, Rithvik was at the gate. "Roli," he yelled at her.

Roli gasped and jumped back and hid behind Ansh. Rithvik ran to her. "What the hell are you doing here?" he asked.

Ansh intervened, "Rith, leave it na. She just wants to enjoy the festival."

"Come out, you pest." Rithvik ignored Ansh and pulled Roli out. She looked at him with angry eyes, "Why do you even care? What will happen if I come to your college fest and enjoy a bit?" She asked.

"The festival is for college students. You are still a kid. Go home." Rithvik said. He looked around to Roli's friends, "you three also go home."

"Do we have to, Rithvik? Can't we stay?" Nita asked him with a puppy face and pout, "Please..." but Rithvik was just revolted by the kid's attempt to flirt with him.

"No. Everybody get out. And" He turned to Dhun, "Thanks Dhun, for telling me."

"Dhun told you." Roli turned to Dhun, "Dhun, I didn't know you were such a bitch."

"Oye..." Rithvik yelled at Roli. "Apologize to her. Now..."

"Rith, it's okay." Dhun said, "And Roli...sorry. I think you all should be studying. Why don't you go home?"

Roli frowned. Ansh glared at Dhun. Roli looked hurt and miserable. But Rith had not left the topic. "Roli, Apologize to Dhun."

Roli frowned at him and look at Dhun. "I am sorry, Dhun." Her tone was flat like she did not really mean it.

"Say it like you mean it," Rithvik said.

Roli frowned at him more.

"Rith, it's okay," Dhun said, "She is angry now. It's fine. I think you should drop her back home."

"I am sorry, Dhun about what she said."

"It's okay. Go drop her home."

"Yeah, that will be best, right?" He turned to Roi, "Come. I will drop you home."

"No. I want to stay. I want to see the concert." Roli found all this too unfair.

"Shall I call mom? Tell her where you are." Rithvik asked.

Roli looked furious. But helpless. So Rithvik lead Roli and her friends outside. Ansh watched them go with a lot of disappointment in his eyes. But when he turned around he saw that there is a soft smile on Dhun's face. His eyes went sharp. "Did you really have to do that?" He asked her bitterly. She looked at him. "Why did you do that?" He continued.

"I told you. I will do whatever it takes to save Rith." She said.

She turns around.

"Okay," Ansh said, "I understand that you are in some crazy land where you think you came from future. But what does that have anything to do with Roli just enjoying the festival for one night?" Dhun turned back around. Ansh continued, confused, "And why do you keep talking about 'saving' Rith? Why? What happens to him?"

"He dies," Dhun said plainly.

Ansh really snapped on that with anger. "What???" Dhun just stared at Ansh plainly. " That's the limit. How dare you say that?" Ansh asked her.

"It happened. In your future, my past. And it's me who feels bad about it more than you will ever do."

Ansh was looking a bit confused and scared now. What if she was right. Dhun saw hope. "I want you to believe me. I did come from the future. Rith and I dated in future. We were together. I am his girlfriend. And I need to save him." Ansh was listening to her now. She continued, "You must have seen me five days before, right?"

Ansh nodded. She opened the handkerchief on her hand and showed him her tattoo. "Did I have this, five days back?"

He looked at her hand. "R? R for Rithvik?"

"Yeah. R for 'Rithvik'."

"You may have got it just recently as well."

She extended her hand to him. "Look closely. The skin around it. Does it look raw? It's not a new tattoo. It's been a while."

He looked at her wrist. He can see that it's not new. "And why else would I have an 'R' on my hand anyway?" She asked. Ansh was considering this. Then Dhun looked around. "It rains tonight." She said. "Exactly around 7 pm. It rains. Heavily rains, so as the concert gets delayed. And Maneesh falls down while escaping from rain and saving the food. He hurts his nose. The singer, Viraj he cracks a joke on that at the opening. His words are 'either he is my die-hard fan or a person in charge. He also says he looks like a zombie. And Viraj's first song will be 'Khuda'."

Ansh was a lot confused now.

"If all go according to this, come find me in classroom no.7," Dhun said.

She walked off leaving Ansh confused about what to believe.

Rithvik came back after dropping Roli home. He stopped seeing Ansh. Ansh noticed him. "You dropped Roli back home?" he asked.

"Yeah. You knew she was coming?"

"She asked me to keep it a secret. She looked desperate. I didn't want to make her sad."

Rithvik looked at him with a bit of suspicion. But just then it started to rain. Ansh was startled, and he looked up at the rain and then at his watch. It's 7:02. He looked around. People are frantic because of the rain. Rithvik as well. "Shit. It's raining..." Rithvik ran off.

The union members were really in torture because the rain was ruining everything. Rithvik came running down the building stairs to the grouds. He was Maneesh and Varun in the middle of the rain...

"Bhai..." he called them, addressing them both.

"The damn rain...!" Maneesh was yelling at the sky. "How will the concert happen now."

"Save the food first," Varun said. "If that gets ruined, then the students will kill us. So will the vendors."

"Okay," Rithvik said already running to a food truck whose staff were closing it down. He helped them move the food truck in the rain, not caring that he was getting drenched.

Maneesh and other guys were also running with stuff to save them from rain. There was a lot of chaos. In that, Maneesh slipped and fell directly, hitting his face straight on the ground. Everybody ran to help him up. His nose was broken and bleeding badly. But he wanted the people to save things from rain than attend to him, so he shouted at them and make them work, and worked himself ignoring the pain.

Ansh saw this happen and was stunned.

Later when the rain had stopped, Ansh was standing in front of the stage, with Rithvik. Rithvik has his hand around Ansh. Maneesh was just beside Rithvik. And The singer, Viraj came on stage. The huge crowd in front of the stage cheered for him.

"What's up, guys..." Viraj addressed them "So the rain is stopped now. So are you ready to rock now?" Everyone was cheering. "I can see someone is here even after he broke his nose. Either he is my die-hard fan or one of the people in charge. Oh, you are the one in charge, right? You came to invite me. Sorry, buddy, I could not recognize you. You are covered in blood and look like a zombie, you know that, right?"

Everyone including Maneesh laughed. And Ansh was pale as he was stunned.

" So shall we start...?" Viraj and started singing his song 'Khuda'.

Ansh took Rithvik's hand off his shoulder and turned. "Where are you going?" Rithvik asked.

"I'll just come." And Ansh walked off.

Rithvik continues to enjoy the concert with the other guys.

Dhun was sitting alone in the classroom when Ansh appeared at the door of the room. She looked at him as if she expected him to come. He was still looking really stunned. "Everything you said happened." He said. She nodded. "How?" He asked.

She took out the time turner from her hand and showed it to Ansh. "This."

He looked at it with a mixture of fear and curiosity. He held out his hand for examining it. But Dhun put it back in her pocket. "I can't give it in your hand. I can't risk the ownership transfer. If you use it, I will forget about it. And I can't afford to forget about it right now. And we need to find a way to keep you have the memory of it. Coz you may forget as well."

Ansh was confused.

"The magic works like that. People keep forgetting about it." Dhun explained.

"Magic?"

"Yeah. It's not science. It's magic. That's what Rith said."

"Rith knows about it?"

"Rith gave me this. When we were 10. I returned it to him after we started dating. But then he...died. So I have it now." There was sadness in her tone, "But anyway Rith now would not have the memory of it. Because as I said, people keep forgetting about it." Ansh nodded. Dhun continued, "I had found a way to cheat around the forgetting magic. I am not sure if it will work for you as well. But you will have to keep a doubt about it. Think it's absurd that time travel exists. Have disbelief. The moment you fully believe in it, you will forget everything about it. But I think, it will be easier for you. Because you yourself have never time travelled. It will be easy for you to have that doubt inside. Because you will have it anyway."

Ansh nodded again. She was making him believe in her story now.

"But you will have to believe in me," Dhun said again.

"Okay," Ansh nodded.

"Rith dies..." Dhun said.

"How?" Ansh asked. He still could not process the idea.

"Traffic accident," Dhun's voice cracked. "But it happens after he sees you and Roli kissing."

"Roli and I kiss?" He was excited and mildly happy over that. "She likes me?"

"This is not the time to be happy over it. Do you want Rith to die?"

"No. Not at all. But...why is it related to me and Roli?"

"Because he dies after seeing you two together. So I need you to stay away from Roli."

"Can't we save him another way?" Ansh was thinking.

"I tried. It's not happening. I will have to change things from the beginning for the direction of the flow of time to change. And the starting point of this whole you and Roli thing was actually on the day I confessed to you. And a major turn of events was supposed to be today. I had already asked how and when things started with your future self. You told me everything in the future. So I changed what was supposed to happen today."

Ansh was curious now. "What was actually supposed to happen today?"

"I don't want to tell you that," Dhun felt uncomfortable. "And isn't it better if you don't know?" Ansh considered that. "Sorry, Ansh... But I want you to stay away from Roli. Can you do that?"

Ansh was trying to process what she is saying on a whole. " Eh...You mean to say...if I don't stay away from her and express my feelings for her, Roli and I can actually get together? That we have a chance? We were actually a couple in the future you are from?"

"Ansh..."

Ansh was actually looking happy now. "Wow..."

"Ansh!" Her tone was strict.

"Why should I give it up? Why in the world would I? I mean... Do you know that I had a crush on Roli for 6 years? 6 years!! If she likes me back, I don't have a reason to stay away from her."

"Even if Rithvik die because of that?"

Ansh went pale.

"And do you know what happens after Rith die? Do you think you will have a happily ever after with Roli?"

"Shut up. Why are you saying Rith will die?" Ansh was angry.

"Because he does. And after that, you and Roli end up miserable because of guilt and pain of losing him."

Ansh wentpale. "Are you sure he dies?"

"Yes."

"Because of us?"

"Yes."

"I know I can't prove it. You will have to believe my words. But, Ansh, trust me, I have no ill intentions towards you or Roli. I just want to save Rith. Do you really have to go after Roli after knowing the risk it might cause?"

Ansh had to accept her words now. "No," He said. "The thought of me and Roli together makes me happy, but..." He paused "I don't want anything at the cost of his life. He is my best friend. I can't even imagine his death. If it's for his life and safety, I can give up anything."

"Good. Thank you..." Dhun was relieved.

Ansh shrugged, "I guess I don't have a choice now. I meant to forget about her anyway. Now I got a strong enough reason for it." he looked sad and disappointed.

*

Rithvik was sleeping and he was having a dream. This time, except for the girl, the rest of the things are very clear. He is dreaming what originally should have happened that night.

Rithvik pulls the girl ( he still can't see her face) behind the stage, and they argue about this misunderstood kiss. And the girl gets angry. Rithvik pulls her closer by her hand. Asking her if she will be his girlfriend. They talk about him not liking her kissing someone else. And they kiss as the confetti and fireworks go up and all.

The next morning, Rithvik sat at a table with a pencil and notebook. He was actually trying to draw his dream onto the paper. He was trying to concentrate really a lot, and draw the girl. But he was no artist. He was just frowning. He looked around and see that Ansh and Dhun are standing at the door talking, looking serious, in hushed voices. He stared at them with casual curiosity. They turned and see him and they both looked back at each other and make a determined face and walk over to Rithvik. He stop drawing and looked at them.

"Hey guys, Rithvik greeted them.

"Hey..." Dhun sounded a bit nervous.

"Rith, we have got something to tell you." Ansh started. Rithvik nodded and looked at them. Cautiously, Ansh continued, "We have decided to be together."
