#Next day in college...
Rahim appolozing in his way
(Rahim's point of view)

It was raining heavily thus I was half an hour late for college. Ruhi and Ruchika were already in class. As decided by our professor, i sat beside Ruhi, my project partner. I was quite nervous at the moment because of everything happened yesterday. She was behaving strange. Unlike always, she didn't greet me Good Morning, nor did she ask me reason for being late. Her silence was affecting me a loy. I couldn't resist myself and murmered "Good morning."
"What? " Ruhi replied. I think i was not audible or she was shocked. So i repeated keeping my attitude in my pocket, "i said, Good morning."
She re-greeted and continued looking at her books. I din't know what was going in her mind. Her behavior turned me upside down.
I knew that she's angry with me because of my strange behavior . I had already apologized her and now she was behaving like a typical girl but i needed to do every possible thing to extrude her for the sake of project.
"Are you still angry with me?" I didn't want to but asked.
"You know what your problem is?
It is your isolation. Trust me.. it will just depress you more and more. I do not want to talk much regarding to this, so i will catch you in library . You select books and mark the pages, i will take them to my home and thereafter i will write them.." my lobes encounter her cunning sound.

Amidst of all this professor was noticing us at very top notch.

"Ruhi please , try to understand." As soon as i said this to convince her, I got busted by the professor.
H

e took me as an interruption and asked me to get out of the class.
Suddenly ,I didn't know what spirit awoke in her. She spoke up ,"Sir...I m solely responsible for all this..you are going through a misconception. Though you saw him but i asked something from him before and remained unnoticed. Please punish me instead."

(Ruhi's point of view) over the matter...

Ridiculous.
We both were sent out of class.
A part of me was happy to know this fact but most of me was not ready to talk to Rahim after everything happened yesterday. I knew myself. If once i melted down, i wouldn't be able to stop myself to indulge in his personal life, which will hurt him to the core.
We both walked out of the class. Shockingly, Rahim took his diary with him. I knew he do not want to share anything with me but i never expect him to be so possessive for his diary. I did not get the meaning of taking diary out of the class. Nobody was going to steal that. Anyway, who could in this universe understand Mr. Rahim Quadri.
"Why did you try to take all the blame on yourself ?" Rahim asked.
"Let it be Rahim."
"We have already wasted a day. I think we should continue our project meantime. I am going to Library. Are you coming with me?"
"Yeah. We do not have plenty of time. You select the books and mark important points. I'll join you in few minutes." I replied.
I needed a free mind to work on project. It took me half an hour to freshen up and have some refreshments in college canteen. When i reached library, Rahim had already completed most of the work.
"I have marked a few pages. You first check them so that we could finalize the subject matter." and he handed over me few books.
We were discussing about the topic, when Rahim's wristwatch beeped. I think he had set alarms for every subsequent class. It was time for our chemistry lessons.
'I shall check the remaining marked pages at home." I adviced.
Our Librarian was quite supportive. He issued me the complete stake of books which Rahim selected.

We took our other classes and left for home.
