Abhi's POV:

Suddenly someone shouted, "Excuse me sir..sir..." , and for a moment I thought it was Ranvi.But looking at the person in front of me I was shocked.

This was none other than Ranvi's warden. I was bewildered. Wait..all the while I was with Ranvi right..? Why is the warden standing there in front of me? Is she coming to take Ranvi to hostel as I didn't drop her off on time to her hostel. Oh god Abhi , that was ridiculous.

Had I been dreaming all the time? Is my kiss a dream, is my confession a dream..? If the kiss itself were a dream, then the confession would obviously be a dream, mocked my inner voice.

I was looking at the warden expectantly to learn why Ranvi was not here until now...but then, what she said next made me feel as if the earth would open and take me there with it.

"If you don't mind, sir, would you please leave as it is nearly midnight now?" she asked hesitantly.

"I..", the great Abhimanyu Rathod is embarassed enough that he was unable to form any words.
My reputation would suffer if news got out that Abhimanyu Rathod was creating a commotion in a ladies hostel at midnight.

First, let me understand what happened.
"Where is Ranvitha?", I asked confidently after gathering my courage.

"Sir, this was about the 3rd time I told you she wasn't interested in meeting. So will you be leaving now?", the warden said harshly. Embarrassed enough, I left after saying sorry to her.

The warden muttered something like, "young people today. We can't tell good from bad through how they dress."

I froze in my tracks, turned towards her and asked, "Ma'am are you married?"

The warden was startled by my question, and replied with "no."

"First get married, then you can identify who is good and who is bad.", having said that, I departed. The warden was shocked by my answer.

In my car, I continued to try calling Ranvi. Only God knows how many times I called but, much to my dismay, she didn't answer and when I called her one last time, the call went to voice mail. I grew frustrated with her behavior.

Having no choice, I called Karthik, who was in the middle of his deep sleep.

"Hello..", Karthik's voice sounded sleepy.

"What makes the business tycoon Mr. Abhimanyu Rathod to call me at this hour..", he asked teasily.

"I want Chaitu's number", I said firmly.

Karthik started coughing heavily.

"Dude, you got married just recently...".

"What would your wife think when she finds out that you are asking for another girl's number?".

"Shut up you idiot.Just give me her number. Looks like my wife has blocked my number."

"What did you say? Since she blocked your number. what good deed you did this time." Karthik asked with a sarcastic tone.

"Are you giving or not .."

"Fine , don't get angry. I'll give you her number. But call her in the morning because it's already half past 1. She might have slept", having said that he provided Chaitu's number to me.

As anxious as I was to know about her condition, I remembered Karthik's words and thought about calling Chaitu the next day; with these thoughts in mind, I started my journey to my home.

Next day morning :
I was awakened by the continuous ringing of my mobile.

"Hello...", I replied coldly.
