After a few days, Derek and Kiara met at the park where they often spent time together. It was a usual spot for them, but that day, H4 had just lost a table tennis match, weighing heavily on Derek's mind. Kiara noticed his subdued demeanor and asked gently, "Kya hua? Naraz ho mujhse?"
Derek replied, "Nahi, tumse nahi hu."

Kiara persisted, "Toh kisse ho? Kisi ne kuch kaha ya tumne ladai kari?"
Derek snapped back, "Yaar, tum kitna bolti ho! Pehle hi dimaag kharab hai, aur tum aur kharab kar rahi ho."
He expected her to be hurt by his words, but instead, Kiara's anger flared up. "Meri baato se tumhara dimaag kharab ho raha, pehle se hi dimaag kharab hai tumhara. Aur meri baato se itna hi irritated feel hota hai toh mat karna baat mujhse!" With that, Kiara stormed away, leaving Derek conflicted and regretful.

Derek muttered:Very nice Derek

Derek retreated to the meeting area of H4, where Mummy approached him, saying, "Mei mummy se baat karke aa raho. Vo bol Rahi hai, koi baat nahi, aur hume cheer karne ke liye laddu bhej Rahi hai."
Derek sarcastically remarked, "Besan ke?" Mummy nodded earnestly, and Derek continued, " Saala ye jeetayege humme GC Yaha humari lagi padi hai, aur isse besan ke laddu khane hai?"

Sexa tried to diffuse the tension, "Chodh na Derek yaar." But Derek's frustration spilled over, "Tu toh mat hi bol, tujhe toh bunti se fursat nahi hai."
Acid interjected, "Tu haar ki bharas hum par kyu nikal raha hai?"
Derek snapped, "Tu chupkar, Acid!" Acid retorted, "Launde koshish kar rahe hai na," and soon they were nose to nose until Anni stepped in to separate them, saying, "Humari hostel ki baat dao pe lagi hai. Humme bhi kuch dao par lagana padega jis ke baare mei soch kar fatt jae. Bhenchod, kya bolte ho?" There was silence in response.

Anni continued, "Inko jeetna hi nahi hai, chutiyee." Mummy proposed, "Thik hai, jab tak hum GC nahi jeet jate, mummy se baat nahi karunga." This announcement shocked everyone,
Derek claimed "Jab tak GC nahi jeet jate, sutta band, Acid."
Acid countered, "Maa ki ankh, gaali band!"
Derek turned to Bevda, "Peena band." Bevda reluctantly agreed, and then Derek looked at Sexa, who joked nervously, "TV band." Derek glared at him, and Sexa quickly corrected himself, "Ok, Bunti ki ghanti bajana band."

Anni prompted, "Maya se baat, cheet band." Derek leaned back, contemplating their pledges. Sexa teased, "Derek, tu kuch bhul nahi raha?" Derek looked puzzled until Anni pointedly remarked, "Tum jo Kiara ke sath ghoomte ho, aur pyar bhari ankho se dekhte ho, hume vo sab pta hai." Derek exclaimed, "Abee saalo!" Acid chimed in, "Naa beta, pledge complete kar."
Derek sighed, "Ok, Kiara se milna band..."
