Ruhaan's happiness held no bounds that moment. He wrapped his arms around Tapasya and smiled widely. He had been waiting for this moment for a long long time. And today it had finally happened.
They broke off from the hug and looked at each other shyly. When suddenly,
Tapasya: But Ru, you have to promise me that this is going to remain between us. And just us.
Ruhaan was a little suprised. All he wanted to do at that moment was scream to the world that he loved Tapasya and Tapasya loved him.
Ruhaan: But why?
Tapasya: Because I just don't wanna jinx it . You know, this is so important for me. I want to at least savour each moment myself first and then others. Do you understand?
Ruhaan nodded slightly disappointed. Tapasya noticed.
Tapasya: Look Ru, I promise once everything settles down, we will tell everyone, including my and your parents. But till then, could you keep this a secret? Please? For me?
She made a puppy face. Ruhaan found himself agreeing to her pleas.
Ruhaan: You know I cannot resist that face.
Tapasya smiled widely and hugged him again.
Taps: I love you!
Ruhaan: I love you too!
Breaking off from the hug, Ruhaan asked,
Ruhaan: Wait , so we won't even tell Adi?
Taps: Especially not Adi. You know he sucks at keeping secrets.
Ruhaan: Point.
Taps: So secret lover-boy , won't you bring me some food? I'm hungry as hell!
Ruhaan: (trying to be sexy voice) So is that my new name huh?
Taps: You suck at being sexy, Ru. Leave that to me and bring me some food.
Ruhaan giggled, nodded and stood up.
Ruhaan: Whatever you want , your highness!
He bowed and Tapasya laughed.
Sush, it is then!

Mitali and Adi rejoined the others standing outside Tapasya's room.As Ruhaan came out , smiling and giggling, the others looked at each other.
Mitali: Vah bhai Ruhaan! Aisa kya hua , ki tu itna has raha hai?
Adi: Ha vahi to. Tapasya ne I love you keh diya kya?
Ruhaan's smile immediately lessened and he tried to cover it up quick.
Ruhaan: Kya bakwas kar raha Adi? Aur voh bhi itni zor se! Tapasya ne sun liya to?
Adi: To tu itna has kyu raha hai?
Ruhaan: Voh to bas isliye kyunki mai khush hu ki Tapasya ko kuch hua nahi.
The others nodded while Mitali looked at Ruhaan suspiciously.
" Dusro ko buddhu bana sakte ho, Ruhaan. Mujhe nahi", Mitali thought but said nothing.
Ruhaan: Acha guys listen. Tapasya abhi thik hai par use abhi discharge nahi karne vale. So jab tak voh discharge nahi hoti mai uske sath yahi reh jata hu. Meanwhile, tum log jakar college ki situation sambhalo. Pata nahi kya ho raha hoga vaha?
Shanu: I think Ruhaan sahi bol raha . Hume college jakar situation dekna chahiye .
The others nodded agreeing.
