(Karan goes through more pages and gets happier and awestruck with every entry. He finally realises he was important to the most important person of his life. He reads her flashbacks that makes him regret not knowing about all this earlier)

Dear Diary,

Today finally I finished with my prelims. They went quite well and I was very happy as I felt prepared for boards. I have my boards in a month and I guess I am good to go. Prepared enough.. Today, after giving last exam we decided to go get icecream for ourselves to celebrate when I saw a guy walking backwards and two of his friends walking straight in front of him. It reminded me of our annual function night from 7th std. Karan, Shiv and Jannu di were performing for the last time in our school. They were in 10th and it was their last year in school so their batch decided to do a grand performance. That performance was one of the best performance our school has ever seen. Everyone was awestruck and absolutely loved it. They all were very happy after the crowd hooting and cheering for them. I was waiting for Khushi and Yash at a corridor next to school ground where I saw them walking towards my direction on the ground. He was walking backwards and Shiv and Jannu di walking opposite to him forward. They were very happy and lost in their laughter and joy to notice a piece of broken glass on the ground. As I was lost looking at his playful nature, I suddenly realised they were walking bare foot in performance costume and glass wasn't much away from them. I knew there was a glass because I was kicking and playing with it just minutes ago they were coming. I was about to scream but couldn't find courage enough to talk to him and before I could think he was very near to get hurt so I ran towards him to pick up the glass when he was just a step away and he bumped into me as I bowed down to pick it up. He managed to not fall but couldn't see my face. Shiv and Jannu di looked at me though and tried asking me but I clenched my fist close, smiled at them and walked back to the corridor. I didn't wanted them to find out I had a glass in my hand that now started to bleed as I clenched it close. So I walked even faster probably leaving them confused. But they hardly cared about it. I wasn't much in contact with any of them that they would think about it, so it was all ok. I just didn't wanted him to get hurt, it was all that mattered because it would have hurted much more than it did when I realised the blood flowing and I quickly dropped the glass in nearest bin so that no one else gets hurt with it again. I started blowing on my hand to reduce the pain which was all in vain until Yash came and looked at it. He panicked and took me to the medical room where Doctor cleaned the wound and applied relief cream with a bandage. I had to listen to a ling lecture by Yash first followed by Khushi on taking care of myself and they kept asking me how did it happen but I made up a story because of course I didn't wanted her to know I was going so obsessed over her irritating brother as she described him then. Anywayss, later we were taken to the auditorium as it was time for our performance. We were super excited and my excitement doubled seeing him sitting in audience to watch out performance. Of course I knew he was there for Khushi and not for me but it made me feel happy and I couldn't help feeling so. It felt just great! That was one of the most memorable school day I had. Coming back to today, we had icecream and came back home. Nani took me and Yash for a walk and we had an icecream again that completely explains my running nose right now. Ok.. baaki baatein baadme.. good night.. Love you!

Your's Kriti...

Karan: What the hell is wrong with this girl? Chilla deti to kya ho jata? Mujhe bachane ke chakkar mein apne aap ko chyit lagwa li.. wo bhi glass cut.. damn it hurts.. and it hurts more now.. meri vajah se uska khoon baha.. meri vajah se use chot lagi.. and I didn't even bother to ask! Kis kisam ka Insaan hu mai? Aur itna sab hokar bhi I didn't realise how strongly she feels for me.. I am dumb! Absolutely dumb.. kyu maine pehle realise nahj kiya how I felt for her.. uss din mai stage pe Khushi ko cheer kar raha tha par pata nahi kyu neri nazar Kriti se hatt hi nahi rahi thi.. I hardly saw Khushi dancing when she was centre lead aur Kriti ek corner mein sabse piche thi.. but back then I didn't knew what was all this happening.. I just thought Kriti bichari piche mushkil se dance kar rahi thi isliye mai use dekh raha hu.. I just made up stories for myself.. not knowing aage chalkar iska matlab kya hone wala hai.. but I have to admit.. wo jitni bhi pyaari lag rahi thi par she can't dance! I have to teach her to dance well.. (chuckles) par use iss tarah mere lite apne aap ko chot lagwani nahj chahiye thi.. I am falling for her harder and harder with every next page.. kya karu mai? How can I stop loving and adoring such a person? Lekin ab tak usne kahi nahi kaha ki wo mujhse pyaar karti hai.. I really want to know wo iss sab ko pyaar samajhti hai ya ab bhi bass ek crush samajhti hai.. I hope aage kuch mil jaayee.. (he turns the pages reading few more entries when his phone vibrates again and he decides to check. He reads "Sammuu" and a smile carves on his face. His eyes land on the time and he gets shocked) Shittt.. recess bhi khatam hone aayi hai.. what the hell am I doing? Thank god abhi koi lecture nahi hai.. Samu ka call.. she is gonna kill me.. (he picks up the call and she starts blabbering and shouting in his ears) So predictable dude..
