The park was filled with cries of 'Har Har Mahadev' as the violent mob soon covered the whole place.

I saw Ishwari running away from the other exit. "We should run too," I advised. But Vedant didn't look satisfied. He stood up and covered me. His blue aura covered us.

"We haven't done anything wrong..." he muttered as he stood against one of the mob members.

"Hey kiddo, run away from here!" The person said. He wasn't much older though. Just a couple of years elder I suppose, white shirt, blue jeans, and a saffron scarf around his neck.

Do you want me to blast him off?
What? No!

"We haven't done anything wrong!" Vedant said sternly. "We were just sitting here, sharing some moments."
"Don't mess with me. I'm Tejas, a member of the saffron saviors. We're here to liberate this park from the lust of couples like you," the person- Tejas said.

What are you waiting for? Do something!

"You are misunderstanding. Our friends brought us here. We didn't even know this place," I defended.

"Okay... Maybe you are right. I don't know why, but I trust you," Tejas said as he stepped back. He looked back and took a glance at us before shouting, "There's no one here. Let's go to the other exit!"

Vedant continued to look at Tejas. They exchanged some looks like some mutual understanding.

Did Vedant's aura affect him?
No, I'm pretty sure it didn't...

"Looks like it's time to go home," Vedant said as he turned back to me. "It's getting dark."
I nodded as we both exited the park. I called Sejal Di and told her to pick me up.

Vedant too started getting calls from his home. So we decided to walk to the bus stop. "You know this is the best day of my life," I announced as I danced around.

You don't look filmy, you look stupid!

I stopped my dance all of sudden due to Mohini's comment. I noticed that even Vedant was giggling secretly seeing my weird moves.

"This was my best day too, probably," he remarked as he mimicked my dance.
"Probably?"

"Haa because I don't remember 3 years of my life. You know sometimes I feel this Vedant you are seeing is just one fragment of me- my complete self. I sometimes think how you would react when you confront the complete me," he said.
"I'm sure I'll like you just the way I do now-" I paused as I realized what I'd said.

Mohi-
Before you say anything, I'm not going to erase that!

"I... I hope so," he said as he awkwardly put his hand on my shoulder. I could feel the heat on my face increasing every second.

"I... I... I wish... This day doesn't end..." I stuttered as I tried to put my arm around him too. But all of a sudden, Vedant removed his hand and started running.

What?! Where's he-

"I'm sorry, that's my bus!" he said as he took to his heels.
"Vedant!" I yelled. He stopped in his tracks and looked back at me. "Don't go na..."

"I'm sorry Amruta. But that's the last bus to my place. I'll meet you tomorrow in college! Byeee!!!!" he said as he ran away.

Woah. That was indeed filmy...
Whatever.

By the way, I noticed something.
What?

Vedant's aura appears only when he gets protective of something or someone.
What do you mean?
