Two weeks passed by. Annika was staying with her dad these two weeks. Her hand is all fine now which gives her relief. After being useless for 1 and a half months it's fine now. Shivaay and annika were on good terms. They share a good talk in a way to college and way back home. He was always there for her when needs help. He had never left a chance to take care of her until her hand gets fine

S: have you brought lunch today?
Shivaay asked Annika when randomly met her during break time

A: ha I have. No need to share anymore. Look finally I can have food on my own
Annika said with a sigh of relief and a smile

R: do you feel guilt Soumya?
Ragini asked Soumya eyeing Annika. Both were watching shivaay and Annika standing a little far

SO: do you?
Soumya shoot the same question

R: hmm... Her hand was badly injured due to the commotion. Actually, you are supposed to feel guilt since you only pushed her

SO: but don't you think it was she who overreacted?

R: I don't know. We should have valued her

SO: why are you saying like this now? What happened to you? You also have stood with me that day

R: ha.. but I feel guilty now. She was right at her place, wasn't she?

SO: Ohh.. Ok ok. Now, what do you want to do? Do you wanna apologize

Ragini stammered glancing here and there not being sure about what to say

R: I thi...nk we should. Did you notice juniors are not afraid of us now

SO: oh! I got it now. You are offended because we lost her powers. If you want to do, you can go to apologize but I will never accompany you.

R: why?

SO: she will kill us without a second thought

R: that's not possible. There are laws. The court owner is not her father

SO: Are you pretending or really a fool
Soumya slapped Ragini's head

R: they are pretty close now, isn't it?
Ragini asks rubbing her head where Soumya had left a hard slap.

SO: what else did you think? That she will hate him her life long?

R: how might have she changed her mind?

SO: how I'm supposed to know?! How many questions do you have Ragini? Spare me
Soumya bursts out in anger before marching inside the class. That's when Annika's gaze reached there. She royally ignored Ragini while holding shivaay's arm possessively. shrugging her shoulders Ragini had to leave the place. shivaay looked at Annika being surprised when she held him not being bothered about surrounding. was it she the same one who never forgot to keep a good distance between them at college. shivaay raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner and she shrugged casually as nothing happened.

'shivaau bha...'
a voice interrupted them. both looked in the direction to see bhavya who stood in midway before turning back to rush.

S: bhavya...
he called out but she didn't even turn back while running away

Shivaay sighed in defeat
S: you know how much she is afraid of you? the poor girl escaped as soon as saw you with me?
he chuckled at last leaving a frown on Annika's face.
'Come, you need to talk to her and clear the things between you both'
he held her hand to pull her with him but she jerked it instantly and sternly mouthed a No before heading back to the class
