Next morning:
At college:

Everyone gathered.

Mukthi: Guys, I dont feel like going to class.

Navya: Mukthi, it's the first class we are attending nearly after 3 weeks.

Mukthi: I know navya. It's going to be really tough for me to sit in class and concentrate for straight 1 hour.

Nandini: Mukthi, just attend one class.

Mukthi: "Then, Can I bunk 2nd class!?", asked excitedly.

Nandini: Nooo, I came to say that you will get used to that.

Mukthi: No nandu. I'll sleep if I come.

Cabir: oh come on Mukthi. That's what you have been doing for 2 years.

Mukthi: Stop cabir. I'm not in the mood to argue.

Manik: "Mukthi, nobody's bunking today.", said in a strict tone.

Mukthi: Bhai please.

Manik: No.

Mukthi: "Fine.", said angrily and started walking to class.

At class:

Professor: I know it's going to be a bit tough for everyone to sit in class after 3 weeks. But we have no other choice. I've to complete the portion. Semester can be announced anytime.

Everyone was shocked.

"No sir", all the students said in unison.

Professor: Well, it's not in my hand. University will decide that. We will know it before this weekend. So be ready for anything.

Everyone became sad.

Mukthi: Whattt, noo if our semester starts, how will we go to goa!?

Aliya: Ya, semester should get canceled.

Nandini: "oh my god, Everyone were so excited.", said thinking about manik.

Cabir: Guys we don't know it yet. So have patience.

Aryaman: Yes, cabir is right. We will talk to manik and abimanyu about this in the break.

Professor: Enough of your discussions. Let's focus on the class.

After an hour, the professor left the class.

During interval, everyone gathered in the canteen.

Mukthi: "Bhai, did your professor said anything about semester!?", asked in a rush.

Manik: Yes, but it's not confirmed yet so let's be patient.

Mukthi: How can you be calm!?

Manik: What else can I do!?

Abimanyu: Mukthi relax. If we have exams, we will go after the exams. Without any stress, we can enjoy freely.

Mukthi nodded.

Aryaman and cabir came with the trays of snacks.

Cabir: Mukthi, look what I got for you. Your favorite French fries and coke.

Mukthi: "Aww Thankyou cabir. You know me well. Someone here, doesn't even care to reply properly.", said eyeing manik.

Manik also looked at her.

Manik: I'm sorry Mukthi. If I was rude.

Mukthi raised her eyebrows.

Manik tried to pull her in a hug.
But Mukthi moved away.

Manik: Don't create a scene Mukthi.

Mukthi: I'm not here to create any scene. I'm here to eat.

Manik: ok eat.

Everyone ate in silence.
And left to attend the class.
