"So you're gonna give up on her? , you motherfucking idiot " archit growls talking on the phone and storms out of my room .

"I seriously can't believe that" Ishani speaks looking at me with pity.

"It's his decision and I respect it but if he ever wants to come back now " I smile" then it is not gonna happen in this lifetime. He left me "

"Like seriously vo soch bhi kya rha hai , pehle to galti uski aur ab situation se bhaggya " Crystal speaks leaning against my cupboard .

Zara voices instantly"Aisa nahi hai guys , agar sabko lagta hai meri glti nhi to uski bhi koi galti nahi hai try to understand his situation "

"She's siding with her in-laws " ishani intervenes.

"Nobody is blaming him Zara but if he felt it was his fault in any sense then he should have owned it like a man , running away is the last thing he should have done right now " kainat speaks and I just want to cry again right now .

"He felt guilty . When you hurt the one you love , trust me the guilt is really bad " Zara gets up .

"Anyways cheer up Inu " Ishani grabs my arm forcing me to get up from the bed "show us the best places here"
I head out with the girls who spend an entire evening shopping and exploring places. They stay the night and next morning we head back to the campus.

[After 2 months]

Abhimanyu asked me if I want to get re-admitted to DEU but I refused because I don't want to stay here after all of the drama and moreover I will never be able to feel safe in the DEU again . So I've decided that I'll go with Ishani to Study at IMU for three years or more . I don't want her to go there alone and IMU is the best security wise . DEU's has a more peaceful environment because of less number of mafia kids which we probably won't find there .

But anyways , the new semester will begin there after the Prestige Ceremony . Since the Monsters University won the championship this year too , the ceremony will be held from their side . In such a ceremony the leader of other two loosing Universities present the crown to the leader of the Winning university. I guess that's why abhimanyu hates it but anyways he'll have to go otherwise he'll be made fun of forever .

[After 4 months]

It's been a while that I haven't heard from Zain , approximately six months. I haven't even seen him . People say time fades away memories but I don't think so
At least , I don't feel like it.

Today is IMU's cruise party and only the most significant students from all three universities have got the invite.
I tried to stay back but they just won't let me .

I have been going to the IMU with ishani . Sometimes we stay there and at other I come back whenever I feel like it . Ishani has been having a hard time trying to adjust there but she feels it is for the best because she needs to live her life alone , without her brother or dad's protection .
At the deck of the cruise she smiles looking at the see waves but then her face turns pale.

"Oh shit..!!! Ohh shit !! "

"What's wrong " I question and she shakes her head speaking "I forgot my meds , what will I do "

"Oh no" I'm anxious because her health is usually really critical.

"I'll talk to kavish" she sprints away while I keep standing there .
I pull up Zain's number and there is a constant battle between me and my heart .

"Don't " someone speaks and I turn around to find Archit .

"I wasn't going to" I give a forced smile and shut down my phone .
Archit pats on my head and I walk towards the upper deck with him .

"Welcome to the Annual Prestige Ceremony ." Ivaan announces in the Mike.

"IMU is really glad to be holding the trophy for two consecutive years . We always have believed that the monsters are always ahead of hunters and Emperors " he chuckles.

"Arrogant bastard " abhimanyu growls and I didn't even realize he was standing next to me.

"No worries brother in Law " archit wraps an arm around his shoulder.

"This is fucking humiliating " abhimanyu speaks.

"Enjoy the evening " Ivaan gets down and the speakers pump music as all IMU students go mad .

After a while they call Abhimanyu and kavish to present the crown .

"Now , We would like to call IMU's owner , its leader , its soul , its king Kiaan Raghuvanshi to accept the crown " a girl announces and Crystal's vanishes from the hall with Zara.

Everyone's heads turn towards him who is busy sipping alcohol and talking to another guy . They both look like those gorgeous k-drama heroes standing there . I know about those Korean dramas because Ishani keeps watching them.

Kiaan places the glass on the bar and struts towards the stage passing through the crowd . All IMU students and everyone else turn silent when he faces them.

A girl dressed in a red bodycone dress presents the crown to them both and they seem depressed while standing there.

Kiaan takes a Mike from the girl and taps on it . The girl is drooling at him when he speaks " I feel this is like a humiliating ritual for the loosing leaders" he chuckles.

Abhimanyu clenches his jaw while kavish is like a volcano .
"So we should change it . We don't need both of you " he deadpans while all students seem shocked .
This ceremony has been continuing for about fifty years now and this is really shocking .

"I will choose the person who'll crown me ." He places the Mike on a table and walks down the stage directly towards me . I freeze as his hand comes towards me .

Ohh fuck...!!

I move aside as he grabs someone's arm from behind me and he yanks the girl towards him .
Ishani...!!!!!

I'm about to hold her hand but he drags her along holding her upper arm towards the stage .

"What the fuck " archit snarls.

Kiaan settles himself on the chair like a king while Ishani is really about to cry .
