In the midst of all the chaos in her head some part of her wanted to still talk to Aayansh.

Some part of her still wanted to mend things but she didn't.

She didn't open the message from him and saw the other text which was from her brother.

She sighed her thoughts were caged and she wanted to set them free she was about to open her brother's text when the person she least expected to hear from at that time called.

It was Daksh she answered the call,
Mannat: Hello
Daksh: Hey sorry for calling this late but l was bored here and l saw you were online.
Mannat: It's okay Daksh well are you better now?
Daksh: Yeah l would have been much better if someone would have come...
Mannat: Uhmm let's see who can be that someone.. (teasing smirk)
Daksh: Mannat you ok ...what are you doing now?
Mannat: Nothing l was just trying to sleep but couldn't .
Daksh: Is something on your mind? You can share if you want.
Mannat: Well it's just some school stuff studies and everything not anything serious.
Daksh: It's okay you will do well and even if you don't we all are still proud of you.
Mannat: Thank you.... Let's talk tomorrow,good night.
Daksh: Good night Mannat.

She cut the call and there was a silence in the room she decided to study for a bit to ease her mind.

She plugged on her earphones and switched on some music and started studying.

In the morning,
Her mausi went to her room to wake her up when she found Mannat was asleep on the study table.

She went near her and tried to wake her up but couldn't so she switched off the fan and went outside.

After two minutes a voice came "Mausi why do you do this everytime??"

Payal ji giggled and told her to freshen up first.
After she came Payal ji gave her breakfast and shouted "Vinay are you done!?"

Vinay came downstairs and after having breakfast went to drop Mannat as he was going to the hospital after that, he had some patients to attend at the last moment.

Vinay asked Mannat "Who were you talking to at night"

Mannat replied "Daksh"

Vinay said squinting his eyes "Oh so who is this Daksh boy now Ladoo?"
Mannat replied cutely "He is a friend Mausuuu"

Vinay chuckled and patted her head "Ofcourse ladoo"

Mannat smiled and got down as they reached the school.

She bid him bye and saw Yash was standing there with Rohan.
She went to Yash and said "Monkey you are coming to school wowwww"

Yash replied "Donkey i saw you what a nice way to start my morning"

Mannat rolled her eyes and said "We live in the same house monkey" then gave him a punch and ran as fast as she could.

As she was running she bumped into someone in the corridor.

She didn't recognise him and just said "Sorry l didn't see you"

The person looked at her and said "It's okay this is..."

As he was about to speak Aayansh came amd pulled Mannat with her.

As they stooped Mannat jerked his hand and said "You want to die the teachers will see us ediot"
Aayansh replied "Huh do l care?"

Mannat said "What is wrong with you?"

He didn't reply and just went inside the classroom.

Elections had ended and it was a first proper official class for class 11 and 12.

Mannat too entered the class and sat beside Ananya.

She turned to her and found her crying
.
Mannat asked her "Hey Ananya are you okay?"
Ananya just nodded her head and tried to wipe her tears.

Mannat gave her some water and tried to calm her down.

She didn't ask her further as she understood Ananya didn't want to disclose the reason.
Attendance started and Prerna was absent.

Ananya said "Krishna will be absent today too"
Mannat giggled and they started talking when the Physics teacher entered.

It was Subhashish sir and everyone started cheering as everyone had assumed they are not gonna get him this time.

As the class went Mannat felt the urge to take a glance at Aayansh.

She turned her head to the last bench and before she knew she was staring at him, smiling.
Aayansh was concentrated on the board when he felt someone looking at him.

She looked in the direction and caught her.
Mannat got scared and instinctively started looking at the board and Aayansh giggled at her antics.

The other boys saw him giggling and started teasing him and he blushed more.

They both couldn't understand what was it but it felt like all sunshine and butterflies.
