Hello my lovely readers. I hope you all are doing great.Take care, and please be safe. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------
(Shravan and Jeevika meet up at Cafe Coffee Day, but at a location a little far from both of their homes. Neither of them wanted to take the risk of being spotted with each other. Both of them are sitting at a table in the back of the cafe, right opposite of each other.)

Jeevika: Shuru karein?
Shravan: Haan, shuru kartey hain. Lekin uss se phele coffee shop aaye hain toh ek coffee toh banti hain, nahin? Chalo bolo, kaunsi coffee piyogi? It's on me.
Jeevika: No, main theek hoon. But, you go on.
Shravan: Arrey, asise thodi. Come on, koi toh coffee ho gi that you like.
Jeevika: Woh, actually, ghar pe coffee itni banti nahin hain toh I don't know much about coffee.
Shravan: Haha chalo, it's cool. I will order for you. Pi ke dekhna maybe you will like it. (Shravan says laughing.)
(Shravan orders 2 coffees. One cold coffee for him, and a latte for Jeevika. The coffee comes to their table within five minutes.)
Shravan: Yeh lo aa gayi humari coffee. Let me know how you like it.
Jeevika: Main pi loongi, let's start studying.
Shravan: No phele you taste it. Pheli baar kisi ko apni pasand ki coffee pila raha hoon. I should get to know na ki success raha ya fail.
Jeevika: Acha babba. (She knew Sharvan would not back off any time soon, and takes a sip.) Achi hain.(She looks up, and has a mustache on her face.)
Shravan: (Starts laughing.) Acha? Achi hain coffee meri bili? (He takes a tissue and wipes the coffee off of Jeevika's face. Jeevika smiles shyly.)
Jeevika: Chalo, ab toh parhai start karein?
Shravan: Haan babba, parhakoo kahin ki. Let's begin.
(Shravan and Jeevika spend all the way up to closing at the coffee shop. They had studied for over 6 hours straight.)
Jeevika: Chalo, ab first chapter ka revision.
(Just before they could revise chapter 1, a waiter comes to them.)
Waiter: Mam, It's time for closing.
Jeevika: Oh. Acha. (She starts gathering up her books to go home.)
Shravan: (Jumps up.) Chalo finally ghar jaane ka time ho gaya. Itna kaise par leti ho tum yaar? Yeh sab chodo, phele yeh batao, tumhare student ne kaisa kiya? (Shravan was eager to know how he did.)
Jeevika: Tum parne mein toh bahut ache ho. Sab cheez jaldi seekh jaate ho. Bas thode focus ki zaroorat hain. Aur... (She loses track of how fast she is talking, so Shravan has to interrupt.)
Shravan: Bas, bas. Main jaanta hoon main bahut cool hoon. Lekin itni tareef mujhse handle nahin ho gi. Woh bhi from such a pretty girl like you. (Shravan bends closer to Jeevika.) Waise mujhe pata nahin tha tum bolti bhi ho. Acha laga.
(Jeevika turns a shade red, and smiles.)
Jeevika: Chalo theek hain phir ghar chalte hain.
Shravan: Tum mere ghar aogi? Sharam nahin aayegi? (Shravan says teasing her.)
Jeevika: Nahin, nahin. I meant you go home. I will go to mine.
Shravan: Haan babba, masti kar raha tha.
(They both head outside. Shravan notices Jeevika looking for an auto at such a late hour, and decides to drop her.)
Shravan: Jeevika! (He calls her.)
Jeevika: Haan?
Shravan: Bahut raat ho gayi hain. Let me drop you.
Jeevika: (She is shocked.) Nahin main chali jaungi. It's okay. Tum tension mat lo.
Shravan: Koi problem nahin hain. Dekho, bahut late ho gaya hain. It's not safe. Let me drop you. Please?
Jeevika: Agar bhai ya ghar waalon ne dekh liya toh?
Shravan: Toh thoda door chod dunga. Toh unhe pata nahin chalega.
(Jeevika thinks for a little bit, so Shravan makes a puppy face.) Please?
Jeevika: Acha babba. Theek hain. (Shravan sighs, and smiles.) Par hum jaayenge kaise?
Shravan: (turns around to point to his dashing bike.) Meri jaan, matlab meri bike par.
Jeevika: (Goes and stands next to the bike all confused and shocked.) Main phele kabhie bike par baithi nahin hoon.
Shravan: Yeh toh aur bhi acha hain. Ek aur naya experience mere saath. Aur kitne naye experiences mere saath karne ka iraada hain? (Shravan teases her.)
(Shravan sits on his bike, and verbally teaches Jeevika on how she should sit on the bike so she wouldn't fall off. She finally makes it to the back seat of his bike, after many attempts that is.)
Shravan: Mujhe pakar lo warna gir jaogi.
Jeevika: Nahin, main theek hoon.
Shravan: Suit yourself. (Shravan starts his bike, and it lurches forward causing Jeevika to hold on to him. Shravan smiles, and Jeevika blushes. After a little bit, Shravan looks at Jeevika in the side mirror. She was terrified. He smiled, and carried on. After a few more minutes, the bike came to a stop.)
Jeevika: Kya hua?
Shravan: Nahin, tum mere ghar chal sakti ho if you want. Lekin mujhe laga you wanted to go home. Toh main tumhe tumhare ghar laaya hoon. (Shravan says, teasing her once again.)
Jeevika: Oh, okay. (She gets off.) Thank you.
Shravan: Mention not. Good night. See you tomorrow.
Jeevika: Good night. (Shravan waves, and goes home. Jeevika smiles, and walks to her home as well.)

(Change of Scene)

It is finally Monday and all the students are worried about the exams. Everyone except Jeevika, Suman, Aditya, and now Shravan.
Mishti: Nandini, mein pass toh ho jaungi na?
Nandini: phele exams de toh sahi.
Manik: Mera toh set hain. I know passing marks toh aa jayenge.
Shravan: Don't worry Mishti, I know you will do great.
Abir: Ab chalein? And Mishti good luck.
(Jeevika comes in after everyone leaves to wish Shravan good luck.)
Jeevika: Good luck Shravan, apni teacher ko fail mat hone dena.
Shravan: khabhie nahin. And, thank you. Waise tumhe toh zaroorat hain nahin, par phir bhi, all the best to you as well.
(Everyone goes to their respective classroom, where the exam is taking place.)

(Change of Scene)
The students take their place in the classroom, and start their exams after the professor has given them an okay to proceed. Our fantastic four are clueless on where to start, as expected.)
Nandini: Yeh toh padha hi nahin tha, ab likhoon kya?
Abir: (praying to god) sambhal lena. (gets anxious seeing the paper.)
Mishti: Hey bhagwan, sambhal lena please. (She joins her hands, looks up, and pleads.)
Manik: Yeh kya? Jo nahin aata woh hi dete hain yeh log.
(All four struggle seeing the paper, but somehow manage to finish it. Shravan, on the other hand, is stress free as jeevika has done a good job teaching him. The other three are great in studies anyways.)

(Change of Scene)
The group gather after finishing the exam to discuss with each other.
Mishti: Itna tough paper toh maine aaj thak nahin dekha. I genuinely don't know main likh ke kya aayi hoon.
Nandini: At least you wrote something. Maine toh kuch answers blank hi chod diye as main khudh hi blank ho gayi thi.
Abir: Chill, ab jo ho gaya woh ho gaya.
Manik: Yes, ab dusre par focus karein?
(Shravan joins them.)
Shravan: Kitna easy the na paper!?
(This leaves everyone in shock.)
Manik: Mere bhai, tujhe paper easy laga?
Shravan: Padhai kar liya karo bhai. (Shravan smiles and walks away.)
(Shravan leaves the four in shock, and goes to do his business.)
Mishit: Well, anyway, let's go. Dusre ki tayari kartey hain.
Abir: Mishti.. (but then doesn't say anything)
Mishit: Bolo Abir? (She stops, and turns around to look at Abir.)
Abir: Nahin, kuch nahin.
(Manik takes Abir with him. Nandini and Mishti go to their room.)
(Everyones is busy for the next few days, as the exams continue to take place.)
