Shashank and Sharanya were the only people left behind after everyone went home for ganpati festival. It had been five days since they were alone without their friends. For obvious reasons there was an awkwardness between them. Shashank was adamant on believing that he loved Riva and didn't want to commit any further mistake. Sharanya on the other hand was sure that she did love Shashank and whatever happened between them wasn't a mistake for her.

Sharanya was scared to live alone in her flat so she had asked Shashank to stay with her. So Shashank was staying in the same flat but in Riva's room.

Shashank was eagerly waiting for Riva to come back. Riva had promised him that she will be back before visarjan but she couldn't. So he was counting days.

Sharanya was getting bored. They would attend meetings every night but whole day they had nothing to do. She stood up from her bed and went to Riva's room where Shashank was.

"Are you busy?" Sharanya asked as she knocked on door. She smelled cigarette.

"No" Shashank answered "Aao"

"Kya kar rahe ho?" She asked.

"Nothing" Shashank told.

"Bahar aao tv dekhte hai.. Kitni der aise room me band rahoge?" Sharanya said.

Shashank looked at her. She was already looking at him. He sighed. She was right. He couldn't keep himself confined in room for long. Watching TV was a good plan.

"Fine" He agreed and stood up from bed.

"What do you like to watch?" Sharanya asked.

"Anything but Hindi serials" Shashank sat down on sofa.

Sharanya chuckled and sat beside him.

"We can watch that thing you guys watch.." Sharanya said "Tum, Ninad aur Rachit jo dekhte rehte ho.."

Shashank furrowed his brows "Kya?"

"Are wo nahi hai.. Coloured soldiers.. I am red and I am blue types" Sharanya said.

"Power rangers" Shashank chuckled.

"Yes. Power rangers.. I always feel you guys are a little too old to watch that" Sharanya said.

"No. It's fun.. Power rangers is fun" Shashank said.

"It airs on disney channel Shashank" Sharanya said "It is meant for kids or teenagers"

"Hey. Don't judge" Shashank said "We love to watch Power rangers SPD.. Duniya ke rakhwale"

Sharanya laughed "Fine. Hum dekhenge power rangers spd, duniya ke rakhwale.. But channel pe kuch aur aa raha hai.." She said.

"Are shit" Shashank said "Mere kitne dino ke episode miss ho gaye"

"Yeh kya chal raha hai.. Wo dekh lete hai, shayad tumhe wo pasand aa jaye" Sharanya teased.

"Disney teenage dramas are for girls" Shashank said.

"I don't watch it" Sharanya said.

"Riva does" Shashank said "She loves to watch hannah montana"

Sharanya continued her laughter "I know she does.."

"And you know how every show is dubbed in hindi.. So Hannah's south American accent, dubbed in hindi.. Imagine" Shashank said.
