"I have an idea...."

"Say...."

"Vanraj and Kavya go to that room almost every night...", he raised his brow.

Devika's eyes lit up for a second as she knew what he was up to but she still wanted to hear the full plan to be sure.

"So... We can... Wait for them to come there and start doing what they always do... And we can capture a video of them and show it to Anupamaa...", Anuj proposed. "She'll have to trust us if we have the proof....".

Devika and Anuj secured their entire plan.

"Thank you Anuj... For helping Anu out of all this... I know it will break her heart...", her heart was still sinking to think how Anupamaa would feel about the cheat. "Thank you, thank you, thank you soo m-"

"Sshh!!!", he put a finger on her lips and nodded in a no. "I am just helping and trust me I do not want to but... Here I am... Helping.....", he unknowingly rolled his finger over her lips and he didn't know why.

"Anuj what are you d-"

Suddenly there entered a bunch of students maybe willing to hang out in a vacant room and saw them together.

"Aawwww....!!! Devika got a partner haan!!!", they teased and hopped in.

All embarrassed, Devika slid back on the bench. "Anything you guys say!! It's nothing like that... Come Anuj... Let's go..."

He got up and walked out with her. After a few steps, she stepped and turned to him. "What were you doing!!"

"I am sorry... I just... I don't know... I liked how you are so concerned for Anupamaa..."

"Yeah I care for her but please don't fall in love with me...", she laughed. "You boys!! Koi ladki jara sa has ke baat kya kar le tum log to yaar...."

"Arey nothing like that I am genuinely sorry... I shouldn't have... Tsch!! Sorry..."

"It's okay... Come...", she wrapped her hand around his arm and walked forward as they discussed how they are going to do it and everything.

Anupamaa, coming out of the theatre, saw Devika walking hand-in-hand with Anuj. She fumed in anger.

'Isko ye management quota hi mila kya sirf ghoomne ke liye!', then her eyes welled. She stopped a student.

"Hii Smita...."

"Hii..."

"It was your psychology class right?"

"Yeahh... Kya hua?"

"Devika thi na psychology class me tumhare saath? D-"

"No... Vo to aaj aayi ni class...."

"....", she looked at Devika again talking so comfortably to Anuj.

"Anupama? Anything wrong?"

"Oh... Nothing thankx.... Bye..."

"Bye...", the girl walked away.

'Am I losing her? Is he trying to snatch her from me? Mujhe class ka bol ke bhej diya aur iske saath baatein kar rahi... Mujhse bhi to share kar sakti thi na... Main to har baat sunti uski... Still she chose him... Over me...', all upset she walked away to sit in solace sometime feeling jealous.

Without disturbing them, she walked away to sit alone under a tree. Some friends tried to keep her company, but she avoided them all and scrolled her social media. She liked a few posts, commented on some though she wasn't in the zone actually. All she cared about was that Anuj is taking her bestie away from her and she can't stop.
