❝ It all started with me having a 'crush' on him. His presence was all that I needed to fill the emptiness I had within me. Everything was going on with the flow until I realized that my 'crush' had turned into the 'love of my life' for whom I could...

They remained unsearched, obscure, under the wraps, waiting to get divulged for the far but forthcoming when all hopes get shattered and all hearts broken, strangely subdued in the river of sorrow, drained into endless tenebrosity.

It was a new day with a new start with the two enjoying the newly mended friendship in a unique way at 5:00 AM in the morning with one finding it difficult to keep her heavy and sleepy eyes open and the other absorbed in his efforts to put out all the knowledge he possessed on physics unaware that the opposite person was least bothered.
"So Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And.." his words trailed off when he discovered that his tutee had managed to doze off in between his lectures.
"Mallikaaaaaa!" he yelled to which she got up with a jerk and widening her eyes, her right hand moved upward upto her forehead in the position of a salute and she said out of the blue,
"Yes Captain! Everything is under control" she replied, completely not in her senses.
"Miss Mallika, your Captain orders you to pay attention to your studies or else your future is dark" he commanded in order to go with the flow.
"Aye aye Captain!" came the reply but within seconds of regaining her senses, Mallika took in the whole scene and apologetically looked at her prince charming.
"If you're done with your beauty sleep then can we proceed?" Sumedh asked in a satirical way to which Mallika slightly nodded her head still feeling embarrassed.

Mallika sat there frozen, unable to give a proper answer to his recently asked question which reminded her of the dreadful deal with Arnab. What should she say? How will Sumedh react after hearing about the deal?
While these questions raced inside her mind, a warm hand of assurance was placed on her shoulder which was none other than Sumedh's. She looked in his eyes searching for any uneasiness and mistrust which may have come up with the oddness in her behaviour while the other asked maintaining the eye contact,
"Mallika, Is there something you want to talk about? Please feel free to share then" he insisted with an appealing voice but Mallika remained stubborn thinking about the consequences which may occur after the bitter truth is revealed. She feared that she might lose his trust and may not be able to regain it.
