Part 7.

Evening.
University.
All the students are gathered in the auditorium...for the party...which is a custom...in the university...to welcome the freshmen into the university....each and everyone was dressed to kill this evening...from the teachers to the students...moreover the decorations were flawless and top notch.

Rudy was with his friends... Somuaya and Chubby...they were having a drink.....then suddenly...Bhavya and her friend Ruby walked in the party...they were all looking very pretty this evening...but Rudy's eyes were only set at Bhavya....ever since she saw her in the university...there was something about her.....that made him get attracted to her... unlike other girls.

"Earth to Rudy....hello we were you lost in....I know...it's because of her....am I right?" Somuaya asked.
"Come on...Sumo... don't be ridiculous.....I was just admiring the beautiful decorations...that's it," Rudy replied.
"Remember....liar liar pants on fire.....I think...you should...go of to her....and talk to her," Chubby added.
"Come on men... she's not an ordinary girl...she's Bhavya...I have heard scary tales about her," Rudy replied.
"Come on Rudy... hasn't Shakespeare taught you anything...we shouldn't give up on our loves...so go on....before someone beats you to it," Somuaya replied.
"Alright fine....( Breathes in and out).....I'll go," Rudy replied.

He left.

He then approached Bhavya and her friend....he tried speaking...but unfortunately...he became nervous....nothing came from his mouth....this was quite odd... because he was an expert with not only girls but flirting...with the little dignity he had left...he went away.

"Weird," Bhavya said.
"Come on let's join the rest in the fun," Ruby replied.

Somuaya and Chubby were watching the whole thing....then Chubby ran after him... because he knew where Rudy goes to whenever his upset.

Gym sector.

He found him punching the punching bag...to perhaps....forget whatever just happened.

"Come on Rudy...it wasn't that bad...so you got nervous....it ain't a big deal," Chubby consoled.
"I embarrassed myself in front of not only her but her friend as well....how am I suppose to face her....when I didn't get to give a good first impression....it was terrible...am sure she must be thinking the worst of me....tell me Chubby how.....this has never happened to me before," Rudy lamented.
"Worry about that later....come on...let's go and have some fun....am sure...that will help you feel better...than punching the punching bag...the night is too short....let's go," Chubby replied...they left to the party.

Meanwhile.
Anika is now discharged and allowed by the doctor.....after doing a through examination...that she's completely fine....she heads to board a rickshaw...with the little money left.

She arrives...she pays the driver....then knocks on the door.

Pinky goes to open the door.....her and Shakti...being worried where their daughter was...moreover they were in a new city...they don't know...what danger lurks.

"Dear what happened to you....why do you have a bandage on your forehead...did something happen to you?" Pinky asked apprehensively.
"It's nothing serious mom...you shouldn't worry," Anika replied.
"Anika....how can we not worry...after all....we just moved in a new place...so tell us the truth what exactly happened?" Shakti asked.
"Well...I was walking....and I bumped into a cart...that it... nothing serious....if we are done talking about this petty issue....am starving...may I have something to eat," Anika replied.

"Yes...we are also hungry... waiting for you...I'll bring the food," Pinky replied.

She brought the food for all of them to eat...they started eating...then finished...then Shinky left to go to their bedroom to have a rest...while Anika was left cleaning up and washing the dishes...after all was done...she retired to bed.

She wore her pajamas and went to bed....she couldn't sleep... however she tried...she kept on recalling the conversation with her look alike at the hospital...then an idea popped on her mind.....she went to drink warm milk...that was left in the jug...she went to the kitchen...drank the milk...she was now feeling sleepy...then as she was about to go to bed...she heard her parents talking....she got curious to what...they were talking about....that too late at night....she eavesdrop....she heard Pinky.... complaining to Shakti...why he didn't tell her that his medicines were depleted...he needed new ones....moreover....he needed to go for therapy....he tried explaining to her....that they just recently moved to a new house...he didn't want to spoil the good atmosphere....so that's why he kept it from her....he reassured her not to worry... instead...they'll figure out something....as they always did....Anika left from there....she felt helpless and at the same time stupid...she didn't know...this was what her parents were going through...in order to give her a comfortable life....then she  remembered something...Bani telling her in case she changes her mind to give her a call...when push comes to shove....she gave her call...thank goodness she didn't lose the card she gave her.

Bani's room.
Bani was still on her laptop inspecting on some business transactions....then took her phone....it was unknown number...but she had an intuition...it could be important...picked up the call.

"Miss Bani...it's me Anika Thakur....the girl you took the hospital....( Bani : Yes I do remember)....sorry for disturbing late at night.... about that offer you mentioned....I accept," Anika said.
"Music to my ears...thank you so much....I'll text you the details where we are supposed to meet... time and place.... have yourself a goodnight," Bani replied.
"Likewise," Anika replied disconnecting the call.

"You don't have to worry... mother and father...you won't have to share your burdens alone," Anika said to herself.

She then put her phone aside and went to bed...as well as Bani...who was over the moon.... because she was running out of options....she went to bed feeling relaxed.
