After the hotel night Ishantanu came back next day. It was a busy day for the two. They both were busy because exams were very much close. The preparations were making their life so busy that they were unable to meet each other in the college.
After the first period, Isha had class in Saavi's department. Isha was about to leave when she felt something. She went to the washroom and as expected her periods came in the most unexpected time. In just one moment she felt that the whole world was irritating. She wanted to cry out loud but controlled herself. This mood swings would make Isha's life more pathetic. She diverted her mind and went for the class.
Ishaan was late today. He knew his mam disliked late coming. So, Ishaan was running very fast towards his class when he bashed with Isha...
The books in Isha's hand fell on the ground. Isha was already irritated but there was nobody to brust out on. The friction changed her irritation into anger. She shouted on Ishaan,
— Kya kar rahe ho! Dekh ke nahi chal sakte Ishaan!
Ishaan was surprised. Isha never talked with anyone like this. Ishaan just looked at her with an expectation that as she knew him, she might talk politely... But nothing like that happened... Isha continued,
— Ek to class late aate ho... Upar se dekh ke nahi chalte... Tumlog chahate kya ho?
— I... I am sorry mam. Mujhe dikhai nahi diya, actually zaldi mein... I am sorry...
Ishaan picked up the books with his head down and said,
— Mein apke books leke jaata hu. Aap aayiye...
Isha was so irritated that she just ignored him and went to the classroom... If Isha had looked back atleast once, she would have seen it that Ishaan's eyes were full of tears. He wanted to cry out loud but as we all know that, "Mard Rote nahi!"
Ishaan always sought for the attention of his Isha mam and expected her motherly affection.
While entering in the classroom, he saw Isha mam talking with Saavi very affectionately. This hurt Ishaan from the core of his heart. He wanted to leave the class but he knew that it would make Isha more angry... He placed the books on the table and sat on the desk. Isha as usual ignored him and started her lecture... Ishaan was not at all attentive. His whole attention was stuck in that one moment. As soon as the bell rang, he left the classroom. He ran towards his car and sat in. He tried to calm himself but all his effort went in vain. He started crying heavily. He mummered himself,
— Kyu? Mujhe kyu nahi milta koi? Mein jis bhi insaan se pyaar karta hu woh chodh ke kyu chale jaate hai. Aai, baba to nahi rahe... Mujhe laga tha ki Isha mam mein meri aai ko dhundhunga mein... But nahi, unko Saavi se zyada kisiki nahi padhi hai... Mein hi pagal hu, woh kyu mujhe importance degi... Mein to koi ban nahi paaya unka... Meri jagah kya hai unke paas? Kuch nahi... Mein aam student hu, Saavi jaisi brilliant bhi nahi... I am a pure waste. Ek bojh!
After several attempts when he was unable to control his emotions, he left the college premises to avoid everyone.

Isha was in the teacher's room. She was doing her work when she noticed an unknown diary on her desk. She had never seen this diary before. To know about its owner, she opened it. In the first page, a name was written with glitter pen...
Ishaan Bhosle
Ki
Aai ❤️
Isha smiled. Mothers are our world... Isha lost her Aai when she was just twenty eight. She still misses her aai so much. The special smell of Aai's body always make the Children happy. She closed the diary as she doesn't want to read personal things. She knew that during that collision, Ishaan had dropped this. And in a hurry, he mixed it with her books. She remembered how badly she had talked with him. She felt guilty. Isha decided to go and talk with Ishaan and also return his diary. She went to his class only to find Shantanu giving his lectures. She said,
— Excuse me Sir!
As soon as Shantanu saw Isha, a smile came up on his face. He answered,
— Yes Isha mam...
— Woh, Ishaan Bhosle ko thoda bula sakte hai aap?
Shantanu looked at the classroom and then again turned towards Isha and said,
— Woh to yeha nahi hai. He is not present.
Isha was surprised but she chose to stop the discussion there. She said,
— Okay... Thank you.
Shantanu again started his lectures whereas Isha became tensed. She knew that today, for the first time She talked with any student with this much rudeness. It must have hurt Ishaan badly. Isha felt sad. She knew that it could be her overthink too but she couldn't stop thinking about the incident...
— Ishaan aise chala kyu gaya? Meri baato ke liye to nahi? Uff! Mein bhi, kya kya sochti hu... But agar aisa hua to... Kaal pehele usse contact karna hoga...
