Riya's POV:
I met Arjun Sir after three years. But I can see some changes in him. Today he smiled many times. And every time he smiled my heart skipped a beat. He looked so handsome when he smiled. His eyes expressed his happiness. He even hugged me tightly. I can still see pain in his eyes but today I can see peace also in it. I don't know what happened to this Raghu Sir suddenly that he asked me to sleep with Arjun Sir and went. Even Arjun Sir nodded. I thought he would be uncomfortable but he was ok with it. Oh god if this continues like this I will fall for him even more. Then I will go to a stage where I can't even hold back my emotions. For now I have this mission to focus. Only then I will think about my life. And Arjun Sir... I don't even know whether he will love someone after this. But I will never ask him anything. I will keep my feelings a secret. I will love him silently. I looked at him to already see him looking at me. God!! His eyes are so magical. It is as if I can drown in them. I lowered my eyes and started fidgeting with the hem of my shawl. I just hope I can control myself. Just then I heard Arjun Sir speaking.

"Riya come we will go to my room and then we will speak. Come. "

He said looking into my eyes. I stood up and followed him.

"Make yourself comfortable Riya. It is like your home. You need not hesitate to do something. Do whatever you want to do. I don't mind. I will go fill water in the jug and come. Then shall we talk for some time or are you feeling sleepy Riya? "

"No Arjun Sir I am not feeling sleepy. I slept during the travel itself. So we will speak Arjun Sir. "

I said. He nodded at me with a smile. God his smile.... I felt myself staring at his disappearing image. Then after a few minutes he came back with a jug full of water and two glasses. He even brought tissue papers with it. He still remembers that I am a cleanliness freak. I looked around his room to find it neat and clean. I started walking around. There were many pictures of him, Rathore Sir and Roshini mam. What surprised me was there were photos of me, shree, chotu also. Then there was another photo with the whole team. I guessed it was with all the new members. Then there were many awards he got. I never knew Arjun Sir was a great dancer. He has many prizes won in dance, shooting, archery, oration,... Multi talented... Something caught my attention. There was a small cupboard which looks ancient but beautiful. I was observing the artwork. I was just about to open it when I heard Arjun Sir's panicked voice.

"Don't open it Riya... Please"

He said. I understood it was something personal and nodded my head with a smile. I can feel him relaxing. I continued to take a stroll of the room.

Arjun's POV:
Uff! Thank god I stopped her from opening that cupboard. It is my secret box. It has many memories within it. I have kept her clip, pen, that coin and many more in that. I just don't want her to see it. Atleast not now. I am wondering how to start talking to her. I want to know what happened in the past that she has changed so much. Yes Changed... I can feel her loss of enthusiasm like before, she was not like this. She was lively, bubbly, chirpy girl but I can feel her being plain and simple now. She has lost interest in everything. I don't know what changed her into a tough, emotion less person. I would like to know what is the reason for her change. I hope she shares with me. For that first I have to share mine with her. Only then she will share hers with me. May be I can try asking her first and if she doesn't open up then I will tell her my story. That's a better idea. I looked at her to find her looking around as it is the most interesting thing in the world. I slowly prepared myself and called her.
