Next day, All were present in the canteen except dhruliya and waiting for the dance master to come.
Mukthi: "Manik, when will our dance master come? I'm so excited.", jumped in excitement.
Manik: Its time Mukthi. I'll just go and check.
Mukthi: ok.
Manik left the place.
Cabir: Where is dhruv and aliya?
Nandini's eyes widened but hided her reaction.
Mukthi: I dunno. I didnt see them since yesterday. Nandu, did you speak with aliya!?
Nandini: Yeah mukthi. She said she is coming with dhruv.
Mukthi: ok.
By the time, manik came with the dance master.
Manik: Guys, meet our dance masters. Mr.Dharmesh and Ms.Shakthi

Dharmesh: ok so, let's start with the basics. First watch us then we will start practicing.

Small chat with partners:
Cabir and navya: Cabir: "Navya, are you sure you can dance!? Coz you know I'm a multitalented person and I can dance easily but you sure, you can!?", said teasingly.
Navya: "oh hello, shut up. I know to dance. I've already participated in many dance competitions in my school days. So mind your words Mr. Malhotra.", said in a serious tone.
Cabir: "We will see", saying he pulled her to himself.
Dhruv and aliya: Aliya: Dhruv, when are we gonna tell them!? I thought we will tell as soon as we come to college. But here everything is happening oppositely. I'm hella nervous.
Dhruv: Aliya, calm down. Take a deep breathe. We will tell them during break. Dont worry. Now just concentrate on our practice.
Aliya: "ok", said still not convinced.
Abimanyu and Mukthi: Mukthi: Abi, what if I don't perform well. And you all lose because of me.
Abimanyu: Oh come on Mukthi. Chill. I know you will rock. Everyone will laugh if they listen to your words. "Mukthi is afraid" does it sounds nice!? No na!?
Mukthi nodded no by shaking her head negatively. Abimanyu chuckled.
Abimanyu: "So come let's practice.", saying he pulled her.
Manik and Nandini: Manik: So Nandu, what you thinking!?
Nandini: *coming back to senses* "Nothing. Just uhmm Nothing." Said in a worried tone.
Manik: Nandu, look at me.
She did.
Manik: see if you are worried about the performance. I know we are gonna rock. That's why I brought the best dance masters. They will train us well. So keep your worries aside and enjoy it.
Nandini just nodded.
Manik: You dont wanna dance with me!?
Nandini: "No nothing like that manik. I want to.", said in a hurried tone.
Manik chuckled.
Manik: Then what are you worrying about!?
Nandini: "Dhruv and aliya", said looking down.
Manik: what about them!?
Nandini: "How everyone will react if they get to know about them!? Will they be able to accept them!? Or" saying looking down.
Manik didnt let her complete her sentence.
Manik: "They will. I know they will accept their relationship. Dont worry nandu.", said trying to look her eyes.
Nandini nodded.
Manik: "Nandu, tell me one thing. Are you worried about dhruv and aliya or about you and me!?", said teasingly trying to make her smile.
Nandu was shocked by his words.
Nandini: "What. What about You and me", trying to make sentence. But she doesnt know what to tell him. She was hell embarrassed.
Manik: "Relax, I was trying to bring my nandu back.", said having smile in the corner of his lips.
Nandini smiled looking down trying to ignore his gaze.
Manik: come let's start practicing.
Nandini nodded stood properly beside him.
Aryaman was capturing their pictures and making videos of them.
All were practicing by following their dance masters lead.
Dharmesh: "Guys, Time for a small break. Have a half an hour break. Dont be late. And you all are doing good. So cheer up.", said in a boosting tone.
