Karan held Teja's hand and made her stand on one foot.

"Now keep the other foot down slowly...." He said looking at her foot.

She kept her balance on both the feet and made a face.

"Is it hurting?" He asked immediately.

"A little...." Her face flinched in pain.

He held her waist from the side and lifted her off the ground a little bit and walked out.

"Oye kundrri mai gir jaungi...." She screamed.

"Chup reh...." He muttered and went to the bus and kept her on the foot stand.

"Go sit...." He said sternly and she frowned.

"Khadoos...." She muttered and sat by the window.

He went and came back with his backpack and got in. He looked at Wahi and mouthed a quick sorry. He was unnecessarily weird to him sometime back. There was absolutely no need to ask him to get away. He could have instructed Wahi how to do it instead of asking him to get away.

Wahi closed his eyes with a warm smile gesturing him that it was all cool.

Karan sat beside Teja and put on her earphones.

She looked at her with a frown. Such a rude and arrogant guy. But still he was a sweetu. And the thought made her smile instantly. She scolded herself mentally fir being so indecisive of how he was. Rude or sweet.

She looked at him from time to time but he was just not bothered. He had his eyes closed and earphones on.

Rude. Final. I won't change my decision now.

She thought and looked out of the window sadly.

They shot throughout the day around Barcelona and the last spot was Magic Fountain of Montjuïc.

They had to shoot there after sunset to get the beautiful lighting of the fountain and by late evening they were done.

"How's your leg?" Wahi came and helped her get into the bus , not before looking around for Karan but he was nowhere near them.

They were going back to the hotel.

She sat by the window and the bus was empty. Nobody has come till now.

"Sun tu baith idhar...." Teja pulled him down and made him sit beside her.

"Kyun?" He frowned at her.

"Because he is not even talking to me....i want to talk....i am getting bored...." She whined like a kid.

"Abbey oh hello....toh start a conversation...." He said making a face.

"Arrey sit nuh....it will be fun...." She said smiling evilly.

"Kyun?" He looked at her suspiciously.

"No nothing...." She shook her head like an innocent kid.

"Dekh tu mujhe bata warna mai jaa ke Kundrra ko bol dunga ki you like him...." He said with a smirk and was about to get up.

"Oyee...." She held his hand and pulled him down again.

"He thinks we are dating...." She said gesturing at themselves.

Wahi looked at her as if he had seen a ghost.

"Are you mad tune use bola nahi aisa nahi hai?" He asked freaking out.

"Arrey i told him but he thinks i am lying because actors are lie about their relationship status...." She giggled.

"This is not funny Teja...." He said seriously.

"Why?" She frowned. "Arrey what will i do?he keeps teasing me with you so i cleared....now he thinks even if we are not dating now we will date someday....like he is sure...." She shrugged. "What can i do?"

"This girl is mad....completely mad...." He said in mock anger. "Don't worry I will talk to him...."

"No...." She said immediately.

"Excuse me?dekh this is about our bro code...." He said frowning.

"Bhaad mein gaya bro code...." She said in irritation. "I like it when he says it....cute lagta hai....lagta hai he cares...." She said sweetly.

"Oh toh you admit that he likes you back?" He asked raising his brows.

"When did i say that?i know he doesn't....i find it cute when he says that....i get the feeling that he cares....in actuality he doesn't...." She said softly. "And it's okay....it's just a crush....it will go away after i will go back to Mumbai....probably we will never meet again...." She said sadly.

"Oyee...." He wrapped his arms around her shoulder. "Sad nahi hote bacchhu...."

"Sad nahi hoon...." She kept her head on his shoulder but was actually getting tears brimming in her eyes.

"Oyee tu ro rahi hai?" He frowned feeling his T-shirt getting drenched and tilted his head to see her face.

"Nahi re...." She wiped her tears immediately.

"You are in love...." He said softly.

"Love cannot happen in a 8-9 days...." She said immediately.

"It can happen if you feel the connection...." He said patting her hair gently. "But Teja think logically....i need to tell him babah....see if there is this one percent chance also that he likes you back why take the chance to hurt someone....he will clearly get affected by this right?and there is no harm casually telling the truth that we are not dating and we won't either....we are bros bro...." He chuckled and she chuckled with tears.

"Okay...." She pouted.

"Don't cry now...." He wiped her tears. "Even in mumbai it will not be over....dekh lena...." And he kissed her hair lovingly.

"Fine...." She kept pouting and took out a chocolate from her bag.

"Mere liye?" His face lit up.

"Apne liye...." She rolled her eyes and started to have it.

Karan got down from the foot rest of the bus and blinked a few times. He hated himself for feeling this. Feeling so messed up.

"Don't cry now...."

Him wiping jer tears.

"Even in mumbai it will not be over....dekh lena...."

Him kissing her hair.

He closed his eyes and walked away from the bus and bumped into Rithvik on the way and looked at him startled.

"So....sorry...." He fumbled looking at Rithvik.

"Pagal hai kya....chal...." He was about to walk away when he heard Karan say.

"You go....I'll....I'll take a cab....need to do some....some shopping...." Karan fumbled without meeting his eyes and walked away.
