"Can you drop this letter in the Dean's office? Please?" Tia handed Gayatri an envelope.

"Sure, Bhabisa. But why aren't you coming to the university today?" asked Gayatri.

"Today.... I am not feeling well," Tia replied hesitantly.

"Okay, Bhabisa. You take rest."

Gayatri hugged Tia and left. Tia watched Gayatri get into the car and leave. Dejectedly she headed upstairs to her room. This scene was witnessed by Arjun.

Yohan comes to the canteen and spots his gang. He walks over to them and sees Gayatri forcibly stuffing everyone's mouth with brownies.

"Why are you stuffing everyone's mouth with brownies today?" Yohan mocked.

"It's great that even you have arrived. Achchha hua ki tu bhi aagaya. You take some too," Gayatri stuffed Yohan's mouth with brownies as well.

"Anyways..." Yohan said after somehow managing to gulp the brownie down, "Didn't Tia come today?"

"That's what I am about to talk about!" Gayatri jumped like a 5-years-old.

"Okay, then say it fast," Yohan stole a French fry from Nikhil's plate.

"I am....", Gayatri took a pause, "I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNT!" she announced with great pride.

"Okay but how is this related to Tia?" Yohan didn't realize.

"Yo!" Gayatri smacked on his arm, "I. AM GOING TO BE. AN AUNT. So that means Bhabisa...." Gayatri announced again.

"Pregnant?" Yohan finally realized and was dumbfounded.

While Gayatri continued dancing, Yohan dropped the biscuit he was about to eat out of shock.

Nikhil, understanding his condition, patted on his back, "Hadn't I told you that they love each other," he whispered so that only Yohan could hear.

At night
While looking for something in the closet, Tia's hand landed on an envelope. She opened the envelope and read the letter.

"Allowance Letter?" Tia read the heading.

With eyes on the letter, she closed the closet door. Arjun was working on his laptop on the bed.

"How is this possible...", Tia questioned herself after reading the letter. "I had submitted an application to cancel my admission," she was whispering to herself.

But her whispers were loud enough for Arjun to hear.

"I have done this," Arjun said.

"What have you done?" Tia thought he was talking about something else.

"The thing you have in your hand, is done by me," he said pointing at the letter.

"But I had submitted an application to cancel my admission."

"So?" he shrugged his shoulders.

"Arjun, I am not joking," she actually looked dead serious.

"The application you had written never really reached the Dean," Tia looked at him with an O-face because of the shock. "Instead, I requested Dean to allow you to study from home."

"In this state, how can I..." Arjun intervened.

"Ranisa, I said you can study from home. You don't need attend the classes," he said a bit louder so that she can understand at once.
