Tang Xi waits for Lu Cheng's return as she wanted to apologize, as she felt bad recalling his sad face.

However he didn't return for whole 3 days. She was so happy 3 days back but this distance of them made her sad.

She started thinking that those 2 days with him were just dreams. She again gets acting with her usual self staying ....alone. She sighs "Expectations really hurt!".

The happiness that overwhelmed her heart before made it to ache now.

He disappeared just like that! No call! No texts! Even Feng doesn't know!

She was returning after dropping Jing to school.It was fourth day since Lu Cheng ran away!.

She gets Ananya's call and sulks "I will tell you if he comes".

Ananya clears her throat"Do you know something?".

Tang Xi frowns "What?".

Ananya laughs "You are in love!".

Tang Xi stops her car aside holds her head "For god's sake Ananya!".

Ananya asks "What? You don't?".

Tang Xi declares. "No..I am just worried".

Ananya wonders "Wow! Why are you worried?".

Tang Xi reasons "Of course I am! He was angry at me before leaving!".

Ananya acts like recalling something "Actually..I was wondering why did he disappear for a week before?".

Tang Xi answers her eagerly. "Because he -". Was drunk and we ended up in falling in each others embrace? "Why are you asking?".

Ananya says "Were you worried last time?".

Tang Xi frowns thinking "No..".

Ananya smiles "Then why are worrying this time? Is it because of his confessions? Do you start liking him?".

Tang Xi blankly says "No" but am I doing that?.

Ananya says in a serious tone "Xi! Don't act childish. You like him, so you are worried about him! Its nothing wrong. Be brave like him! He just confessed everything boldly, when he realized. Why are not doing that? Acknowledge your feelings towards him first! Don't act like a single-maniac!!( Ha ! New word!! The person who planned to feel like they will be single for whole life ignoring confessions and relationships just because they are afraid of relationship!).

Tang Xi rebuked "I am not single-maniac!".

Ananya asks "Really? Then are you a coward? Why are you running away from men!".

Tang Xi gets angry "I am not a coward! And I am not running away from him! Its just everything is happening too suddenly ! He started behaving weird!".

Ananya yells "Stop complaining Xi! He was not acting weird! He was just taking care of you ! YOU were always single so its you who is weird!".

Tang Xi went blank and realises everything.Both gets silent for a minute.

Tang Xi takes a deep breath and says "I understand!".

Ananya cries "Oh Thank god! You understand! Now Don't be a single-maniac and enjoy your life ! I am going to enjoy mine okay?".

Tang Xi smiles "Okay!".

Tang Xi starts the car and takes a deep breath "I have to be happy!". She smiles and drives to the school where she got her new job.

Tang Xi was walking out of her cabin stops hearing Alex's voice.

"Miss Tang!".

She sees him walking towards her "Yes Mr.Alex?".

He says "Ugh..You have got a visitor!".

She frowns "Visitor?".

He nods and says "I will manage your session today.You can go".

She smiles and gives him a friendly hug "Thanks a lot! I know you just came back from your class".

He smiles "Don't forget to treat me a meal than!".

She nods "Of course !".

She walks towards the visitors' room and shocked to see him.

She keeps her hands in her mouth and asks "What..How are you here?" Even Lu Cheng doesn't know about my new job!.

Dinesh smiles "Great to meet you again Xi!".

She laughs "Me too Dinesh!".

He asks "How are you?".

She shrugs "Happy! Thanks for everything!".

Seeing her sincere face he looks down and shook his head "I didn't do much Xi..". He felt guilty and says "I was just attending a conference. I heard you work here.So..I will meet you later".

She nods and sees him surprised 'He just came to say this? Just to see me?'.

He stood in his tracks and turns.He clutches his fist and walks towards her. She looks at him questioningly.

He holds her hands and says in a sincere tone "Xi..If anything goes tough, don't think you are alone. Okay?".

She never understood his words exactly but nods "Thank you Dinesh!".

He sighs and walks out leaving her in a daze. She smiles as her heart filled with warmth and runs out to call him "Dinesh!".
