"Yr.. Main bhi aa rahi hoon ruko. " Aarushi shouted as she saw Bandana sitting in bus without her. But Bandana went in bus.

She ran towards bus. As soon as she reached there Sumedh came down from bus. Both bumped with each other.

"Dekh ke chala karo na.. " Aarushi said irritatingly.

"Main dekh ke hi chal raha tha.. Tum bina dekhe bhaag rahi thi.. " Sumedh retorted.

"Whatever.. " Aarushi rolled her eyes. "Ab hato mere raste se.. "

Sumedh gave her way & she went in bus.

"Suno.. " Sumedh said.

She turned back.

"Bandana ke sath main baitha hoon.. Uske pas jake mat baith jana.. " Sumedh said.

"Nahi baithungi.. Tum use leke bus ke upar baith jao.. Main kuch nai bolungi.. " Aarushi said.

Sumedh ignored & went. Aarushi looked everywhere. All couples were sitting with each other. She felt sad. Rohan & Nisha were sitting on last seat of bus. She decided to go there.

Sumedh came back & sat near Bandana who was looking out of window. A teacher came in bus.

"Principal ne kaha hai ki ladke uss bus me jake baithenge.. Iss bus me sirf ladkiyan hongi.. " He told.

"What..? " Everyone shouted in unison.

Aarushi suddenly looked towards Sumedh. He also looked towards her. She chuckled & looked away.

"Yeh takla nai sudhrega.. " Sumedh cursed principal.

Bandana felt relieved as she was feeling very uncomfortable in his presence after last night.

Sumedh sighed & looked towards her.

"Bich raste me kahi milenge.. " He said.

She nodded. He wanted to talk further but understood her situation & went. As soon as he went Aarushi sat near Bandana.

"Ahh.. Gaya yeh nautanki.. Ab hum enjoy karenge.. " Aarushi said.

"Kya yr yeh principal bhi.. " Nisha said in low voice.

"Nisha baby.. Come here.. Yaha aagey ake baith jao.. " Aarushi said.

"Accha hua.. Mujhe bada ajib lag raha tha.. " Bandana muttered.

"Ajib..? Kyu..? " Aarushi asked.

"Nai.. Aise hi. " Bandana lied.

Aarushi examined her fr a while & started laughing.

"Has kyu rahi ho..? " Bandana asked.

"Main samajh gyi . " Aarushi teased. "Yeh dekho.. Gale pe dikh raha hai tumhare ki tumhe kyu 'ajib' lag raha hai.. "

Bandana looked away.

"Dekho toh.. Kitna shaitan hai yeh insan.. Kitne marks hai.. Bandana.. Main batati hoon.. Yeh aisa kare na toh nakhun se noch dalna use agli baar.. " Aarushi said.

Bandana blushed & hid her face.

"Sach bol rahi hoon.. " Aarushi said.

"Bas.. Bas. " Bandana said. Aarushi continued her laugh.

"Sameeksha.. Tum bhi wahi galati karna chahti ho jo maine ki.. " Abhimanyu shouted.

"Nahi Abhi.. Iss baar kuch chupake nai hoga. Baba ko apni jid chhodni hogi.. Hame samne se try karna hoga.. Ek toh Mudgalkars ki family badi hai.. Sab influential hai.. Upar se Nivi ke dad ka itna bada support unke sath hai.. Hum kuch kadam picche ake unke sath mil jate hai toh hamare liye bhi accha hoga.. Aur party ke liye. " Sameeksha said.
