                  "So, have you decided yet? " Rey asked Dev through her phone roaming in the balcony. " No. I am not sure.I can't turn her down. Also, i am not in a position to consider it. I am totally confused right now. " Dev lays down on his terrace watching the beautiful scenary of the full moon.
                  "I can understand. But, I think you might like her."
                  "What makes you think that? " Dev gets up.
                  "I don't know. I had some sort of feelingggg........when i saw you both together on the juice shop." Rey teased him.
                  "Stop watching those korean dramas. You're becoming too much of a drama queen. " Dev lays back down.
                  "Ah.. I am not. " Rey shouts. Rey's Dad looks at her from the living room. She smiles trying to ignore.
                  "What do you think should I  do? " Dev asks staring at the moon.
                  "If you ask me, now that Riya is gone ,I would say give it a shot."
                  " Why do you say so ? "
                  " Well....I heard a lot about that girl. She has been into u for a very long time as i heard. Some say its 2 years, some say 3 to 4 , but I'm not sure. "
                  "But , I have never seen her before."
                  " That's the thing. As far as I  heard, she was too careful that u don't know about her. "
                   " Wait.....whyy..?"
                   " That's what is an odd thing here. Noone knows why she never made her known to you. "
                  " Rey......dinner ready. " Rey's
Mom calls her. " Gotta go. Will see you on monday. Bye!"
                  "Hmmm......Bye! " Dev hangs up the phone and keeps it beside his head. He gets carried away at the sight of the moon. Suddenly he hears a sound of a drum rumbling. He gets up and looks at the direction of the sound. There is a guy in the neighbour's terrace. He is arranging the drums in the terrace.He sees Dev and smiles. Dev finds him familiar.
                   "Hey, have I seen you before." Dev asks out of curiousity.
                  "We are in the same school." The guy says.
                  " Oh....okay." Dev walks towards him. " I am Dev. " He gives his hand for handshake. " Sharath. " The guy shakes hands with him. Dev's eyes  expands.
                  " Sharath? I think I know you very well. "
                  " You do? " Sharath seems confused.
                  " The whole compartment knows. " Dev laughs.
                 " What? " Sharath is still confused. "Your love story is the fairy tale that goes around classes. "
                 " My love story? "
                 " Sorry. One side love story. "
                 " Well....That's not even a story. " Sharath ingnores it. " It is. Noone has this kind of patience as you."
                  " Not anymore. I have decided not to see her anymore. "
                 " What..? why..? "
                 " She said that I scare her. I never wanted her to feel that way. "
                 " Sorry man. "
                 " Don't mention it. That doesn't bother me. " They both stare at eachother for sometime. There prevails an awkward silence.
                 " uh..umm...sorry...I couldn't control myself but overhear you talking in phone. You seem to be ......a little confused... " said Sharath with a bit of hesitation.
                 " That's kind of true. I am in a very complicated situation. "
                 "I think, I know the girl you were talking about. "
                 " Is it..? " Dev showed some curiousity.
                 " Yeah, Shanaya. Right? "
                 " Yes! How do you know her?"
                 " She is friends with a friend of mine. Also, I know you because of her.  " Sharath said.
                 " Really ? What do you know? "
                 " I know about you and Riya. And I know the answer to your question. " Sharath said walking a few stops.
                 " Would you mind telling me?" Dev is at the peak of curiousity. Sharath turns towards him and folds his hands. He smiles at him. He approaches him.
                  " I will say only little. Because, if I say everything you won't get to a conclusion. "
                  " Well... I am okay with it. I just wanna know why she never came to me before. " Dev said. Sharath smiled a bit.
                  " Okay. As far as I know, she has been like a shadow behind you. She knows everything that happens with you , even little details. She knew how much you was into Riya. She doesn't want to interfere as you were so happy with her. Then She once decided that you should never know anything about her. That's why she never came to you. " Sharath said. Dev listened to him. Sharath started walking towards the staircase.
                   " Wait....Then why did she come now? "
                   "That's  That's a thing you should find out on your own. " Sharath shouted disappearing down the stairs.
