Teja had come back from the washroom and Karan was waiting for her to start the sculpting.

"You have done this before right?" He asked while Teja followed Rithvik's instruction and Karan put the coconut coir on the rotating table.

"Yup....he only taught me....that's how we knew each other...." She said putting the mud on the coir.

"Nice....oyeee kya kar rahi hai pagal...." He shut his eyes as she sprayed water on his face while spraying water on the mud.

"Aise murti ki aage mooh rakhega to lagega nuh mooh pe paani....ajeeb hai....hatt...." She rolled her eyes and he moved back a little while wiping his face.

She continued the sculpting and he tried to help her to the best of his abilities.

"I am sorry for last night...." She said without looking at him.

He looked at her immediately. She was shaping the mud and he really felt guilty at that point. He was manipulating her and he didn't like that. But he knew it was also for her own good.

Had he actually known that Teja has moved on , he would have never done it. No matter how hurt he would have been to let her go , he would have let her go. But this was also about how she was hurting herself.

"It's okay....we decided to be friends right so ab yeh sorry wagerah mat bol...." He said and she smiled warmly.

"Yes....i think with all that had happened between us....yeh hum dono ke liye hi acchhaa hai ki hum bas yeh dosti maintain kare...." She said genuinely. "And i really do want to be your friend....tu bohut acchhaa insaan hai....doesn't matter what had happened that will remain the same...."

"Tu bhi....you are right....yehi sahi hoga...." He said smiling.

"Thanks Karan....you will always have me as you friend...."

He nodded with a forced smile.

Friends my foot.

"Yeh ho kya raha hai?" Nia went to Rithvik and Wahi and raised her brows.

They were done for the day with their sculptures.

"Kya?" Wahi frowned in confusion.

"See i know there is something between Teju and Kundrra....Europe se hi dekh rahi hoon....and abhi mujhe kuch din se lag raha hai kuch jhol hai....she is upset right?tum log kya khichdi paka rahe ho?" Nia asked frowning.

"Na....nahi toh....we have no clue...." Rithvik shrugged casually.

"Really now?" Nia rolled her eyes. "Bata do...."

"Arrey kuch nahi sacchhi...." Wahi said looking here and there.

"Sun nuh...." Karan came there to talk to the boys and smiled at Nia.

"Sun nuh baad mein...." Nia said angrily. "Tum log kya kar rahe ho sach sach bolo....Teju ko tang kyun kar rahe ho?"

"Hum?when did we do anything?" Karan asked in shock.

"Shut up i know everything....i know there was something between you two and then she got upset....ab tum log kya kar rahe ho sach sach bolo...." She warned them.

Karan looked at Wahi and Rithvik and sighed.

"Long story...." He told Nia the summary of all that had happened and what all they were planning and Nia burst out laughing.

"Kaise kameene ho yaar...." She laughed. "Kundrra don't listen to these idiots....yeh tujhe lein dubenge...."

"Shut up...." Wahi rolled his eyes. "Do you have a better plan....lein dubenge...." He imitated her.

"I actually have...." She said smiling mischievously.

"Kya?" Karan frowned at her in suspicion.

"Okay so i will flirt with you...." She said smirking.

"What?yeh aur marwayegi tujhe...." Rithvik said widening his eyes.

"Pagal hai kya tu?" Karan looked at Nia as if he has seen a ghost. "She is very possessive do not even try this...."

"Exactly...." She said proudly. "I know she is possessive....that is why i am saying this will work....yeh gadho ka plan work karne mein ek mahina lagega....this will be instant....she won't be able to see it trust me and use realise bhi hoga how much she is into you....till now...."

"Dekh bhai Kundrra....i cannot go to Bangalore for cotton candy burrito this time...." Wahi said getting scared.

"Iss ke siyappe hi alag hai...." Rithvik face palmed.

"Dude you don't know her....woh pata nahi kya karne bolegi iss baar agar pata chala toh...." Wahi snapped at Rithvik. "I am not in this plan....i don't know who you all are...."

"Saale chup reh...." Karan whisper yelled at him in irritation.

"Listen....shut up all of you...." Nia rolled her eyes. "Kuch nahi hoga....and kundrra tu flirt back mat karna....fir woh galat ho jayega....if i do it then it will be fine....at least it won't be from your end so tu clean rahega...." Nia instructed him seriously and he nodded again imagining Teja beating the shit out of him.

"What are you guys talking...." Teja came and frowned at them and they all straightened up as if nothing happened.

"No nothing...." Rithvik shrugged.

"You guys are coming to my place okay?for Ganpati....i know rithvik tera bhi puja hai but please yaar....time nikal ke aa jaana...." Teja said happily.

"Of course we will come yaar...." Wahi wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Ofcourse we will be there....karan tu mujhe pick kar lega?" Nia said holding his hand.

Teja looked at their hands immediately.

Wahi blinked his eye lids a few times and Karan had already frozen not knowing what to do.

"Arrey kya hua?sun nuh woh jo mai tujhe bata rahi thi...." She pulled Karan away pretending to say something to him in whisper.

Teja looked at their retreating figures and Wahi and Rithvik looked at each other and then at Teja. She didn't look happy. Infact she looked borderline irritated and somewhat angry.

Wahi took out his phone and googled cotton candy burrito in Mumbai.
