Rozee's eyes are filled with a dream to live a peaceful life, but time and again her parents fail her in achieving this goal. Her childhood friend Dhruv has never felt parents touch but has received a parent's love from his elder sister Khushboo, she for his tender brother sacrificed her dreams. Dhruv wants to live and make Rozee like life again. 

Rizwan likes Rozee and when Dhruv meets Rizwan, he knows that Rizwan can make Rozee like life once again. With Shagun being rude to Vinay and him suffering from bad blood with Rozee, Ishita and Arnav will not care much about this and Kanika with her motherly caring nature and Sahil as a quite father, and of course  the love-sick Aalochna helping him while hiding a secret, Dhruv will make Rizwan help Rozee, but will she love life again?

July 6th, 2015

[First day after summer vacation, in class VII – B, a new admission is expected to arrive. A girl sitting on the last bench (window side) looking completely uninterested and out of place yet pretty. It looks though that she has lost all her compassion for life but still her eyes sparkled with no doubt. She is that kind of a person who is sick of living and surrounding her is an aura of remorse. Nobody is sitting in front or beside her].

Teacher: Come on you all on your seats.

[Rizwan (a tall boy, tanned muscular and appealing) enters the class].

Teacher: This is your new classmate, come introduce yourself.

Rizwan: Hey everybody, I'm Rizwan. I love football and it's my life and ladies mind you, you'll always be my second love, because football is the one.

Male Student A: Why don't you marry one, 'Football'

Rizwan: Why you 'being jealous girl, if you love me so much just confess it. I'll consider you.

Male Student A: Why you – (Teacher interrupts)

Teacher: Now don't fight, go Rizwan sit there (points at the empty seat in front of that girl).

[Rizwan goes and sit there and the teacher starts taking attendance. Rizwan now sitting in front of that girl turns around to face that girl, he finds her somewhat familiar looking].

Rizwan (to the girl): and you?

[She is, as always intentionally oblivious and ignores him. He tries again but she again ignores him but he doesn't give up and faces yet another rejection. Then the whole year he tries and fail. A year passes they are promoted to class VIII but both are in different sections so they never met. Just like that another year passes].

April 3rd, 2017

[Now they both are in class – IX- B and this is the first day of their new school year. Rizwan while coming to his class sees the girl talking to a boy with passion in her eyes this was the first time he saw her like this, like now she has gotten a purpose in her life].

Dhruv: So, I'm finally here!

The Girl: I am so happy, but why are you in Khushboo Ma'am's class, I wish you were in mine.

Dhruv (amazed): You call her Ma'am in school!

The Girl: And so, do you have to.

[The girl then goes and sits on the last seat (window side) and Rizwan goes and sits in front of her. He turns around to face her thinking that this time she may answer him].

Rizwan (to the girl): Hey I'm Rizwan, and what's your name? (she ignores him) Well worth the try but I shall try again.

[The reason why the girl (a confident appealing girl) is so ignorant is that, her parents are divorced. Both of them had affairs and upon discovering the truth both divorced each other. She now lives with her mother who doesn't really care for her. Her mother is either busy with her 'friend' or other friends. Her father is the same, to add insult to injury her father lives next door. Her life had become a routine, she used to wake up, prepare breakfast, go to school, come back, and then prepare dinner and the cry whole night. The only light in her dark world was her childhood friend and neighbor Dhruv. Their room are opposite to each other and so close that one could jump from Dhruv's room window and land in her room and vice versa].

April 2nd, 2017 (the day before the first day of IX class)

[Its 11 o'clock, night time. The girl is preparing dinner while her mother is in her room with her "friend". She barges in her mother's room with the supper for two and her eyes closed, leaves the plate there, runs to her room and starts crying. Dhruv opens his window and hers (his hand can reach there is very little distance between the windows) and starts shouting].

Dhruv (shouting): Would you stop weeping for once and go to sleep, for god's sake this has become everyday dilemma for you, I'm already very tired of all the paperwork I had to do to be enrolled into your school and after all that pain I had to go through I am not in your section, talk about tragic and I accidentally drank coffee, so my allergy is killing me and I cannot handle your crying why don't you understand if they don't care about you then you should not care about them.

The Girl (while crying): What do you know, you don't even have parents to begin with.

[Dhruv quietly shuts her and his window and goes to sleep].

The Girl: I'm sorry I didn't mean it, sorry.

[She keeps shouting the same. After one-hour Dhruv's slumber is broken he opens his window].

Dhruv: Its okay, can I sleep now.

The Girl: You forgive me.

Dhruv: Yes, lady just sleep now.

April 3rd, 2017

Rizwan (to the girl sitting behind him): Hey I'm Rizwan, and what's your name? 

[She ignores him, he found her familiar looking but now that familiarity has become affection].

Rizwan (to the girl): Hey I'm Rizwan, and what's your name, Rozee.

April 11th ,2017

[Its after Recess, a teacher had come to announce that there are selections being held for sports teams (Classes IX to XII). Trials were for Football, Cricket, Basketball only. Today they were for boys' team and yesterday were for girls' team. Rizwan and Vinay (Both were together in VIII also and became good friends) had left for the trials, Rizwan was vying for football and Vinay for cricket. While the physics class was going on Rozee was looking out of the window as always, she could see the football trials. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it but when Dhruv made an entry in the football trials she was all into it, coincidentally Rizwan was the goalkeeper. On ground].

Dhruv (getting ready to kick the ball): Are you ready?

Rizwan: Hey, you're the same boy who Rozee was talking to earlier, what did you do to make her speak, let alone talk.

Dhruv (while kicking the ball): You talk too much.

[The ball flew over the confused goalkeeper and the teacher declared it a goal. In class IX – B].

Rozee (as she saw the goal; she stood in excitement and shouts): Goal!

Shagun (classmate; to Rozee): Who made it?

Physics Teacher: That's good and all girls, but now pay attention here (writes on board).

[Bell rings the next period starts as teacher leaves the class Shagun (an outspoken, loudmouth cute girl) comes to Rozee].

Shagun: Hey, (Rozee ignores; Shagun shouts louder) hey, hello!

Shagun (to herself): Why won't she listen to me, but I'm also dad's strong girl I won't give up. (to Rozee). Hey who made the goal?

Rozee (with enthusiasm): Dhruv made it, it was so cool, Rizwan just stood still (laughs). I even saw Vinay there in the ground. (Shagun blushes) Oh, why are you blushing, do you like Vinay?

Shagun: Who could like that stupid?

Rozee: Yeah, he's stupid (both laugh).

[The next teacher enters the class everyone gets back to their seats].

The Teacher: Anyone can please bring my blue bag, I left it on the ground floor.

Shagun: Ma'am I'll go.

Random Student A (to Random Student B): How come she's the teacher's pet type?

Shagun: Ma'am can I take Rozee with me.

Random Student B (to Random Student A): That's the reason.

The Teacher: No

Shagun: Please Ma'am.

The Teacher: No. (Shagun leaves).

[In ground Dhruv and Rizwan are exchanging their posts].

Dhruv: To know the answer, try to goal.

Rizwan: I won't try I will.

Dhruv: I bet you dying to know the answer.

Rizwan: You bet I am (he steps back runs towards the ball).

The Girls: He looks so good (Rizwan stumbles upon a pebble and falls to the ground).

Rizwan (getting up; to the girls): Thanks girls.

Dhruv (to himself): He's still the same.

The Girls: We were not talking about you, silly boy (they point at Vinay).

[While Rizwan recovering from his melancholy, the teacher asks him to leave the ground].

Sports Teacher: Get out. Are you here to give the trials or flirt?

Rizwan: Sir just one try, please.

The Teacher: No.

Rizwan: Please, Sir football is my life.

Sports Teacher: Let me tell you, if it were your life wouldn't be in the situation you are in right now.

Dhruv: Sir, I didn't know that these were trials - I just came to play now may I leave.

Sports Teacher: What? Get lost, both of you.

Rizwan: Sir but at least, let me -

Sports Teacher: Both of you, both.

[Both leave. Dhruv then starts watching cricket trials and Rizwan comes to him].

Rizwan: Hey, I am Rizwan and you?

Dhruv: Do you ever get bored of this dialogue. I am Dhruv.

Rizwan (laughing): At least you replied. (to himself) How'd he knew about it?

Dhruv (laughing): Yep.

[As they are talking, Vinay (a tall boy, with toned body and , who is also very popular with the girls) comes. Vinay and Dhruv are friends].

Vinay (to Dhruv): So, she finally made you come to this school.

Rizwan (confused): Who, she?

Vinay: Rozee.

Rizwan: Rozee, what's going on, care to explain?

Dhruv: Where shall I begin from, but wait, why are you so interested in Rozee.

Vinay: He likes her.

Dhruv: What really!

Rizwan: Nothing's like that.

Dhruv: So, you don't like her.

Rizwan: Its, not like that too!

Vinay (to Dhruv): He likes her.

Rizwan: It's like this, when I first saw her she was alone and sad, so I thought if I befriend her it would make her happy, that's it.

Dhruv (sarcastically): Yes of course, now we understand, don't we Vinay.

Vinay (sarcastically): Yeah, we do.

Rizwan (annoyed): you guys are the limit.

Sports Teacher (to the boys): What are you doing here go to your class! The trials are over.

[Rizwan, Vinay and Dhruv are going to their classes while talking].

Rizwan: Anyway, Vinay how do you know Rozee?

Vinay: We were neighbors before she changed residence.

Dhruv: They weren't only neighbors but friends.

Rizwan (surprised): What!

Vinay: Dhruv why don't you tell him that you were also there.

Rizwan: You too!

Dhruv: Yeah! Man, it was the golden time when we all were together.

Rizwan: I also had friends that moved away. You guys remind me of them.

Dhruv: Coincidence?

Rizwan: Maybe. (Shagun is coming with a blue bag).

Shagun (to Rizwan): What are you doing here, weren't you giving trials?

Rizwan: They are over now.

Shagun (sad): What! I wanted to see the trials. I even went to trouble to bring this huge bag.

Vinay (blushing): Don't be sad.

Shagun (blushing): Thank- (stops; angry) Did anyone ask you!

[They reach class IX - B, Rizwan goes in the class, Dhruv stops Vinay and Shagun].

Dhruv (to Shagun): I need to ask you for a favour.

Shagun: What is it? (Shagun agrees to do what Dhruv asked for, then she leaves).

Dhruv (to Vinay): You were blushing quite a bit when she was here, you like her.

Vinay: Yeah, but she hates me.

Dhruv: I don't think so.

Vinay: Thanks man. So, how's Rozee's condition at home?

Dhruv: The same and how's it in school?

Vinay: The same. You know what Rizwan reminds me of that boy?

Dhruv: To you too. (exited) And he even likes Rozee. So, he has to be him.

Vinay: Let's not jump to conclusions. It's a bit of a long stretch.

Dhruv: That it is. Has Rozee talked to you?

Vinay: No.

Dhruv: I don't blame her, after that outburst even I won't talk to you.

Vinay: Don't say that.

[Dhruv and Vinay now leave for their classes. In class IX-A (Dhruv's class), Dhruv (a suave, plump boy with a heart filled with sarcasm) sits on the first seat, second row from window side. Behind him seats Sahil (a strong committed man who is as quite as a turtle) and on the right-hand side of Sahil sits Ishita (a cute girl who is concerned about nothing). Nobody sits in front of Ishita. Ishita and Sahil already know each other as they have had a mutual friend – Kanika (a sweet committed appealing girl). They have become close friends with Dhruv. He enters his class without asking the Teacher Khushboo, his elder sister].

Khushboo (angry): Who would ask to come in?

Dhruv: Sorry sis.

Khushboo: I'm not your sister.

Dhruv: Yeah, you are.

Khushboo: I'm not.

Dhruv: You were in the morning when you left for school.

Khushboo (angry): Well I am not in the school.

Dhruv (crying sarcastically): My sister is no more, God help me, Sahil, Ishita what shall I do.

Khushboo (angry): To your seat, loudmouth piece of a -

Ishita: Ma'am you're in school.

[Khushboo stops and they move on to their studies].

April 12th, 2017

[Morning around 7 o'clock, Dhruv's room. Khushboo (an attractive lady who is kind enough to lie). She wanted to become an IAS officer but due to the untimely death of her parents and a one-year old brother to look after she comprised to become a teacher].

Khushboo (while snatching Dhruv's blanket): Wake up, jackass!

Dhruv: let me sleep for a bit, please, just a minute.

Khushboo: No.

Dhruv (annoyed): Let me sleep.

Khushboo: Ok then I'm leaving for school with Rozee.

Dhruv: Okay, leave and let me sleep.

Khushboo (walks to the door): Ok I'm leaving without you.

Dhruv: Stop being a pain in the, you know what and leave.

Khushboo (angry; runs towards Dhruv and jumps on him): Son of a gun!

Dhruv (shouts): Ouch!

Khushboo: Never again talk to me like that.

Dhruv (crying in pain): Try to say the same in school.

Khushboo (going out): Want me to repeat something I did just now. (at the main door; shouts) Breakfast is on the table, and drink the milk.

[For Dhruv this is not a seldom occurrence. Khushboo leaves for school with Rozee. After having breakfast and drinking milk much to his dismay but with the haunting image of his sister in mind he did it. Dhruv leaves for school, Dhruv met Rizwan in the ground while going to their classes].

Dhruv: She still giving you a hard time.

Rizwan: I'm beat, why doesn't she for once reply.

[A ball comes soaring through the sky and hits Rizwan's head. He screams in pain and faints].

Dhruv: What the hell (shaking Rizwan's body) how can he faint from just a hit!

[Rozee comes running]

Rozee: Sorry, did it hit anybody, I hope not. Oh, hey Dhruv didn't saw you there.

Dhruv (points at fainted Rizwan): You first see here.

Rozee: What in the world happened to him.

Dhruv: You tell me what happened, your ball struck him that so that hard he fell in a faint.

Rozee (laughing): Nice one fell-faint, but that's not possible.

Dhruv: There's a body here and you are talking about jokes, are you out of your mind!

Rozee: Ok, I get it. Let's not waste any more time and take him to the sick-room.

[In infirmary, there is no one, so they're waiting for doctor to come].

Dhruv: So, was it you who kicked the ball?

Rozee: Yeah, I was just chatting with my new friend Shagun and she saw this football just lying there waiting to be kicked so she tried to kick and it didn't even budge so I kicked so hard that it flew into the sky.

Dhruv: You have been quite fond of football since forever.

Rozee: Listen. Shagun got mad for some reason and left and I heard a scream so I came there.

Dhruv: I don't think anyone is coming soon so I am leaving for class. But you wait here.

Rozee: Why do I have to wait here, why don't you.

Dhruv: No, I have a class and anyway it would make more sense that a classmate stays here.

Rozee (starts to move): No, I'm leaving.

Dhruv (stops Rozee): No, you and not after all you're the reason he is in this state.

Rozee (sits on a stool beside Rizwan's bed): Ok, I'll stay but isn't it awkward to find a total stranger beside you when you wake up.

Dhruv (laughs): You're really a lost cause. He sits in front of you, that guy you told me about who keeps on saying hey I'm Rizwan, does this ring a bell.

Rozee (astonished): Oh, its him, with that swollen red face I couldn't recognize him.

Dhruv: Listen, when he wakes up introduce yourself and apologize to him, understood.

Rozee: Ok I'll do all this but you have to make dinner for me today.

Dhruv: This is not fare, you know I don't like cooking, it just so tiring.

Rozee: But you make so delicious food.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

Rozee: Yeah, you do, and you have to otherwise I'm out of here.

Dhruv: I'll make the dinner, now I'm leaving.

[Dhruv leaves the room and stands outside to eavesdrop. Nothing happens inside. Vice Principal sees Dhruv standing outside the infirmary and comes to him].

Vice Principal: What are you doing here?

Dhruv: Ah-ah, I was waiting for you Ma'am, you're looking as beautiful as always.

Vice Principal: Oh thanks, but why are you waiting for me hear?

Dhruv (to himself): Ah! What should I say (to Vice Principal) Ma'am, while teaching if sis gets angry she curses the students like calling them jack-

Vice Principal: That's enough, I will talk to her, now you go to your class.

[Dhruv leaves. Inside the infirmary, Rizwan regains consciousness].

Rizwan: My head, it hurts so much, what happened to me.

Rozee (imitating Rizwan): What happened to me, where am I, who am I.

Rizwan: I know who I am, but what I don't know is how came I'm here?

Rozee (hands joined): I am sorry, I kicked the ball that hit you, sorry.

Rizwan: No need to apologize, it's fine.

Rozee: Hello, I am Rozee (she gets up and starts to leave).

Rizwan: Wait, where are you going.

Rozee: Well, my work here is done so, I am leaving.

Rizwan: What work?

Rozee: You talk too much, Dhruv told me to stay here and apologize to you for what I did.

Rizwan: So, Dhruv set you up and you gave in.

Rozee: Wait, you know him - I also made him do my work.

Rizwan: Yep, we're friends, and what work he agreed to do.

Rozee (sits on a stool beside Rizwan): He hates cooking, but he's a great cook. Even I can't make that good, so I told him that if he'll make dinner today then I'll do as he told me to.

Rizwan: Really, now I'm curious to taste his food.

Rozee: Why taste, come to his home tonight and eat the whole plate, not literally.

Rizwan: For sure, I'll come.

[As Rizwan tries to get up and move out of the bed Rozee puts her hands on his shoulder and helps him to lay down on bed].

Rozee: Wait don't be in such a hurry, rest up, if you don't, you won't be able to come tonight.

Rizwan: But I don't have his address.

Rozee: Do you have his number?

Rizwan: Yeah, but I was hoping to give him a surprise visit, so can you give me your number.

Rozee (holds his hand and writes on it): This is his address, don't try to be over-smart.

Rizwan: I think someone else is being too over-smart here (both laugh).

[Doctor comes in]

Doctor: What happened to him?

Rozee: He fainted, a ball smash into his head.

[Rozee leaves and Doctor checks Rizwan. In front of IX-B, Dhruv, Shagun and Vinay are talking].

Vinay: Weren't you supposed to be there according to the plan. She's here I hope I'm not blushing.

Dhruv: Yeah, but V.P. Ma'am came so I had to leave. By the way thanks again for today Shagun.

Shagun (to herself): Vinay's here I hope I'm not blushing. (to Dhruv) No worries, but wasn't ball was supposed to land near Rizwan not on his head, Rozee is dangerous when it comes to kicking.

Dhruv: One time she hit a ball in my balls (all laugh) I'm kidding but it was near them (all laugh). Most of my plan worked out, I just wish they start talking.

Shagun: They will, you don't worry.

Vinay (blushing): I hope you're right.

Shagun (blushing): Yea- (stops; angry) Nobody asked you.

[They leave for their classes, In Vice Principal's room, Khushboo enters her room].

Khushboo (at the door): May I come in Ma'am.

Vice Principal: Yes, (Khushboo comes in and stands in front of her) I have received a complaint about you using curse words in class. See, I know that you are young and have problems at home but that is no reason to violate school's decorum.

Khushboo: I didn't do anything like that, with as pretty face as mine I won't dare to.

Dhruv told me and that sweet boy won't lie.

Khushboo: That son of-

Vice Principal (interrupts; shouts): Khushboo! There you go again, swearing.

Khushboo: Ma'am he is bringing up personal matters.

Vice Principal: I don't know and I don't care, you must maintain the decorum of school.

Khushboo: Okay Ma'am (to herself) Dhruv you just wait and watch what I am going to do.

[In Dhruv's house, after a one-sided war]

Khushboo: Someone bought the flat above Rozee's, and they have a daughter same age as you.

Dhruv (to himself): My body is still hurting, so much (to Khushboo) That's good. I hope Rozee gets along with her.

Khushboo: Yeah.

[Due to Dhruv's mild injuries he wasn't able to prepare dinner, he was happy about this. But Rozee postponed the plan and now Dhruv was supposed to make dinner for eight people including him, his sister, Rozee and the people invited by Rozee – Shagun, Ishita, Rizwan, Sahil and Vinay. She only invited Rizwan, Shagun and Vinay, but Shagun went to IX-A with her loudmouth and got herself three new guests, intentionally. Dhruv had been told of everyone who was coming, this brought both happiness and sadness to him. Happiness as friends were coming and Rozee finally talked to Rizwan and sadness as he had to make a lot of food. They all meet, introduced themselves and decided with that the party shall be held on April 16th, 2017].

April 13th, 2017

[Dhruv's class, there is a new admission – Aalochna (an alluring girl, who's diligent about love). She sits on the first seat (window side). She saw Dhruv coming in class she liked him and believed he fell in love with her. And her happiness broke the roof when he sat beside her. Ishita knows her from a competition she participated in, a year ago. They fought for the first position and the whole time Aalochna kept saying that Ishita loves her, while they were doing the dance off Aalochna fell of the stage and even after that she kept on insisting that Ishita loves her. In class IX-A].

Ishita (to Aalochna): Do you still think I am in love with you?

Aalochna: Darling, get over me, I think this boy is in love with me now (pointing at Dhruv).

Ishita (sarcastically): Oh! Yeah - definitely.

Aalochna: Hey Ishita, who's this boy?

Ishita: You like him?

Aalochna: Yep, I like him but he's in love with me, can you introduce me to him.

Ishita: Sure, I can. (Dhruv sits on his seat).

Dhruv: Hey guys, what's up? (to Aalochna) So are you the new admission, you look good.

Aalochna (whispers in Ishita's ear): He's totally in love with me.

Ishita (whispers in Aalochna's ear; jokes): Girl, he's going to take your heart away.

Aalochna (whispers in Ishita' s ear): He already has.

Ishita (to Dhruv): This is my lost love, Aalochna (both girls laugh).

Dhruv: What do you mean by lost love.

Ishita: Nothing, Dhruv where are your manners, introduce yourself.

Dhruv: I'm Dhruv, and you?

Aalochna (timidly): Aa-lo-ch-na – Aalochna.

[Sahil comes in]

Sahil (to Ishita): There's a boy calling you outside.

Ishita (to Sahil): Who?

Sahil (siting down): I don't know.

Dhruv: So, you going?

Ishita: No, it's a hassle.

Dhruv: For you everything is a hassle.

Ishita: And the biggest one, you.

[Khushboo enters the class, after introducing Aalochna to the class, she starts teaching. In IX- B

Outside the class Vinay is stopped from entering the class by a gang of boys of class X].

Male Student A: Where do you think you're going?

Vinay: In the class where else.

Male Student B (annoyed): Don't try to be over smart (pulling Vinay's collar) you get that.

Vinay (steps back): What's your problem?

You know this girl.

Vinay: Yes, she's my classmate.

Male Student C: She proposed to you about a week ago.

Vinay (confused): How do you know about it?

Male Student C (angry): And you turned her down!

Male Student A: She is our boss's little sister, you made her sad, now it's payback time.

Female Student (passing by): Vinay, I am waiting for the answer.

Vinay: I told you no.

Female Student (passing by): No, I won't accept 'no' for an answer.

[Teacher comes, so the gang leaves. Rizwan also comes].

Rizwan (to Vinay): You sure are popular with the ladies, it must be fun.

Vinay: It's more trouble than fun.

[The period before Recess]

Rizwan (turned around; to Rozee): In recess let's go to the canteen.

Rozee: Hmm, I don't know.

Rizwan: Come on, be a sport.

Rozee: Ok, who else will come with us?

Rizwan: I don't know, I'll invite others. But do you mind going with me (hesitates) alone.

Rozee: No-no, it's not like that.

Rizwan: Okay, I'll go in the next class to ask them.

Rozee: Ok.

Rizwan: By the way, you're not ignoring me today, I thought you were a shy girl.

Rozee: What made you think that?

Rizwan: Well for starters, I tried to talk to you for a whole year but you didn't reply at all.

Rozee: I don't talk to strangers.

Rizwan: Then why'd you talk to me in the sick room.

Rozee: Dhruv told me to, just that.

Rizwan: Did Dhruv told you talk to me right now also, aren't I practically a stranger.

Rozee: Rizwan are you getting jealous of Dhruv, and if you don't remember, let me jog your memory I was about to leave after saying what Dhruv had told me, but I stayed because I thought you were-were (stops) never mind.

Rizwan (with anticipation): Just say it.

Rozee (speaks fast): I thought you were an interesting guy (Rizwan blushes).

Rizwan (shy): Thanks!

Rozee (blushing): And you are not a stranger, I think of you as a friend (Rizwan again blushes).

Rizwan (blushing): Thanks again.

[The whole class - IX is on the ground with class – X, for their P.T. class. Rizwan is playing Football with other students. Rozee is enjoying the sport as a spectator. Rizwan asked Dhruv to play but he refused. Vinay is playing cricket, enjoying cricket are the spectators- Dhruv, Sahil, Ishita and Aalochna].

Ishita: So, how's Kanika these days?

Sahil: She's fine.

Ishita: I was hoping you'd​ invite her to our party.

Sahil: I might but still it's up to her to come.

Aalochna: Who's Kanika?

Dhruv: Sahil and Kanika are seeing each other.

Aalochna: And Dhruv you, are you seeing someone.

Dhruv (sarcastically): Yeah, I am, I am seeing stars, cars and what not. (Aalochna laughs) I am not.

Aalochna: So, is there someone you like?

Dhruv: No, there's no one.

Aalochna: Why are you saying that when you love me?

Dhruv: What, why are you saying that? I mean you seem nice but I don't think of you like that.

Aalochna: Don't lie, you can tell me the truth that you love me.

Dhruv (annoyed): Please, cut it out already. (Ishita goes to the washroom).

Aalochna: You love me!

Dhruv (annoyed): No, I don't (Dhruv starts to leave, Aalochna comes after him). Don't follow me!

Aalochna: I will, because you love me.

Dhruv (sarcastically): Ok, I do, how'd you know?

Aalochna: It's my sixth sense.

Dhruv: More like an illness.

Ishita (coming from the washroom; to Aalochna): You still at it?

Aalochna: What can I do he loves me! (Dhruv sighs).

[Arnav (a tall bold boy with a baby face) comes and stands in front of Ishita]

Arnav (to Ishita): I need to talk to you.

Dhruv (to himself): It feels like he's going to confess to Ishita.

Ishita: What is it?

Aalochna: Dhruv loves me. (Dhruv sighs).

Arnav: I asked to come out through Sahil but you didn't come.

Ishita: So, what?

Aalochna: Dhruv you love me.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

Arnav (blushing; excited, speaks fast): Ever since I saw you I was mesmerised by your persona, would you go out with me!

Dhruv (to himself): I was correct. I think Ishita will say no. So, let's try this, he will say yes. (to Arnav) Are you sure about it, Aalochna would be the perfect match for you why don't you ask her?

Arnav (to Dhruv): No, and you love her I don't.

Dhruv (to himself; shocked): How would I be wrong!

Ishita (to herself): It takes guts to confess, he seems nice also. (to Arnav) Ok, now go I'm busy.

Dhruv (to himself; shocked): I was wrong about this also!

Arnav (while going): Ishita said yes! Ishita loves me now, she said yes!

Dhruv (to himself): He's like a male version of Aalochna, could they be related? (to Ishita) why'd you said yes?

Ishita (to Dhruv): He seemed to be a nice guy, and he would have bothered me if I said no.

Dhruv (to himself; laughing): If living becomes a bother to her she might suicide.

[After the P.T. period its their W.E. period, in this sections A and B merge. In W.E. room there are two long tables, students sit on them facing each other. Rizwan is sitting on the first seat from the door in front of him is Rozee and beside him is Shagun. In front of Shagun is Vinay. Beside Shagun is Ishita, in front of her is Aalochna, beside Aalochna is Dhruv and in front of Dhruv is Sahil. They are talking while waiting for Khushboo to come in class].

Aalochna: Dhruv, how it feels to love me?

Dhruv: I don't love you.

Aalochna: Don't lie I know you do.

[Khushboo enters the class].

Khushboo: Class before we begin, I have an announcement to make, so stop talking and pay attention, (shouts) stop talking. Your class tests are beginning from 17th April. Maintain this silence I am coming in a bit.

[Khushboo leaves the whole class starts talking].

Sahil: Please would you all come to Kanika's birthday party on 14th?

Dhruv: Yeah, we would.

Vinay: What time?

Sahil: I'll tell you the time and place on the phone.

Ishita: Hey now listen-listen to me, we have a new friend, this is Aalochna, this is her first day and she believes Dhruv is in love with her.

Rozee: Really!

Aalochna: What do you mean believe, I know he loves me.

Vinay: First day, first love!

Dhruv (annoyed): Stop with that!

Ishita: Dhruv's so irritated that he can be declared a psycho.

Rizwan: Dhruv so, you're a psycho now.

Shagun: And the reason you are in this mess is love, love really makes a person mad.

Vinay: I don't think, it's like that.

Shagun: Did anyone asked you?

Vinay: No but - (Shagun interrupts).

Shagun: Then shut up!

Ishita: Shagun that's rude.

Shagun: These people should be dealt in this way only.

Rozee: Why are you so annoyed at Vinay, what did he do? (Vinay is surprised as Rozee is taking his side). I know he can be a bit too much sometimes but he's a nice guy.

Vinay: Thanks, Rozee.

Rozee: Shut up I' m not talking to you.

Vinay (to himself): She hasn't completely forgiven me yet.

Dhruv: Hey, listen since we have our exams coming up, I was hoping - (Aalochna interrupts).

Aalochna: Wait we have exams coming up!

Sahil: Didn't you hear, Ma'am announced it just minutes ago.

Ishita: But how could she hear Ma'am when she was so busy telling Dhruv that he loves her (expect Dhruv everyone laughs).

Dhruv: Not funny Ishita. As I was saying, "now we all" know that tests are coming up so I think we should cancel our party and concrete on our studies.

Rozee: You're just saying that because you don't want to cook.

Dhruv (to himself): Dam, she guessed it. (To all) It's not like that.

Aalochna: Dhruv you can cook!

Shagun: We can postpone​ the party.

Vinay: Yeah, why didn't I think of that.

Shagun: Because you don't have a brain to think.

Sahil (in sync with Rizwan and Dhruv): Savage!

Rozee: What date should it now be held?

Ishita: How about after the exams in May.

Dhruv: No postpone, let's just cancel it altogether.

Rozee: What did we talk about in the sick room.

Dhruv: Ok, how about on May 32nd?

Rozee: Real funny Dhruv!

Aalochna (shouts): Dhruv's in love with me (Dhruv sighs).

Sahil: I think Ishita is right, in May summer break it would be fine, what do you say?

Shagun: Its ok with me.

Vinay: With me too (Shagun twitched but didn't say anything).

Rizwan: Since our holidays are beginning from 20th  then 20th would be fine.

Rozee: No, 21st is a Sunday then it would be the perfect day.

[All agree with Rozee. And now on May 21st the party will be held. Khushboo enters the class].

Khushboo: I asked you all to be quite and you are shouting like goons. Now pay attention here today we are going to make this - (Aalochna interrupts).

Aalochna (shouts): Dhruv loves me.

Khushboo (shouts): Get out, now!

Aalochna: Yes Ma'am.

[Khushboo resumes her class. After W.E period it's the recess and the canteen is closed, so Rizwan and Rozee don't go to the canteen].

April 14th, 2017

[In IX-A]

Aalochna: Dhruv, you love me.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

Aalochna: You love me, I know it.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

[Later that evening Sahil invites everyone (Aalochna, Dhruv, Ishita, Kanika, Rizwan, Rozee, Shagun and Vinay) to a coffee shop for Kanika's Birthday party at 9 o'clock].

Ishita: Thank you everyone for coming here and be part of Kanika's birthday, Sahil and Kanika meet because of me so, thank you me. Most of you might not know who she is, but we are here to know her only so now I would ask her to take the stage.

Shagun: Where's the stage (everyone laughs).

Ishita: I meant to stand up and speak.

Kanika: Hi everyone so, how does it feel to come at a stranger's birthday party (everyone laughs). Only two of you all know me – Ishita and Sahil. This day has become even more special to me with your presence, thank you all for that, but this day is important for me not because of this is my birthday but this the same day that last year I got the courage to tell Sahil that I like him. The story is way too long so maybe some other day I'll tell you about it.

Aalochna: Promise?

Kanika: Promise.

[They all are celebrating. Meanwhile].

Sahil (blushing; with a spoon in his hand; to Kanika): Here, would you like to have it from my hand?

Kanika (blushing): Yea. (after eating) Now it's my turn! (Sahil takes a bite).

Aalochna: Let's all of us do this in pairs, I with Dhruv (Dhruv moans), Rozee with Rizwan, Shagun with Vinay.

Shagun: I am out of all this.

Vinay: So, am I

Shagun (to Vinay): Do you always have to repeat after me

Dhruv: Let's not fight guys, its Kanika's birthday. (Shagun calms down)

Rizwan: I'm in. (blushing) Rozee so would you give me a bite or shall I give you?

Ishita (puts her spoon in Rizwan's mouth): Why don't I help you. (everyone laughs)

Rizwan: Why'd you do that?

Ishita (grins): Because I was left behind.

Rozee (with a spoon in her hand; to Rizwan): Would you mind? (Rizwan eats)

Aalochna: Here you go Dhruv (Aalochna shoves the spoon in Dhruv's mouth).

Dhruv (shoves the spoon in Aalochna's mouth; still food in his mouth): Tit for tat.

[Everyone enjoy till 10 o'clock and then leave]

April 15th, 2017

[In IX-A, today they have a half day].

Aalochna: Hey Dhruv, I need to tell you an awesome thing.

Dhruv (moaning): I know it.

Aalochna: You love me.

Dhruv (nodes; doesn't listen): No, I don't.

[After school, Dhruv runs to home, because of Aalochna. Rozee is looking for him when Rizwan comes there. Everyone else have left for their homes].

Rizwan (to Rozee): Why are you still here?

Rozee: I am waiting for Dhruv.

Rizwan: Dhruv?

Rozee: Yeah, we walk to home together.

Rizwan: And why is that.

Rozee: Don't you know that we live in the same – (Rizwan interrupts).

Rizwan (completing Rozee's sentence): That we live in the same house.

Rozee: No silly, we are neighbours, but in a way, you can say we live together.

Rizwan: In what way?

Rozee (angry; starts to leave): Not in the way that you are thinking about.

Rizwan (follows Rozee): I swore I didn't mean it that way.

Rozee (stops): Ok, and let me clarify for any "other" confusion, our flats our next to each other.

Rizwan: Oh! That's way.

Rozee: Yeah, that way, by the way, oh my god I am saying way, way too much. Anyway, (agitates), again I said it. Have you seen Dhruv by any chance.

Rizwan: Yeah, he left. Aalochna was again after him.

Rozee: I guess, this type of love isn't rational, its physical – physically insane. (both laugh).

Rizwan: So, now you'll be leaving without him.

Rozee: Of course, why do you ask?

Rizwan: Well I was hoping (stops).

Rozee: You once told me. (with enthusiasm) Just say it.

Rizwan (blushing): I was hoping I could walk you to your home.

Rozee (blushing): Ye-ah, why- why not.

Rizwan (blushing; with eagerness): You mean it!

Random Guy (passing by): Why would she have said it if she didn't mean it.

Rozee: Shall we go now? but wait won't your family be worried that where you went?

Rizwan: Don't worry I'll tell them that I'm at your place with your phone.

Rozee: Wait I have an amazing idea let's crash Dhruv's house.

Rizwan: Yeah, I just had a thought what if we find Aalochna there (both laugh).

Rozee (while laughing): We might.

[They exit the school and Rozee took the longer route to home intentionally].

Rizwan (to himself): We've been walking for long, she hasn't said a thing, should I say something.

Rozee (to herself): We've been walking for long, he hasn't said a thing, should I say something.

Rizwan: So, how are you? (to himself) Shit this is what I said!

Rozee (confused): Huh? I guess I'm fine and you?

Rizwan: Yea, I'm too. (to himself) What the hell am I saying?

Rozee: So, what are the things you like?

Rizwan (to himself): I like you (to Rozee) I love football.

Rozee: And is there any specific reason behind it?

Rizwan: Yea, at first, I didn't like football, I occasionally watched it but then after she came I-I

Rozee: Who she?

[Rizwan’s house. It is his 7th birthday, all his family and friends are gathered there, they are waiting for Rizwan to come and cut the cake. Rizwan’s room, he is in front of the mirror].

Rizwan (to himself; aloud): I look so handsome, all girls will fall over me, what can I do my smile is so flattering that it makes everybody fall in love with me. I love myself.

[Rizwan’s mother comes and knocks the door]

Rizwan’s mother (knocking the door): May I enter?

Rizwan: You may enter.

Rizwan’s mother (while entering): Everyone is waiting for you downstairs, so - (Rizwan interrupts).

Rizwan: Ok, you shall go now and I will come soon.

[Rizwan’s mother leaves and Rizwan again looks himself in the mirror]

Rizwan (to himself; aloud): Everyone waiting for this excellency. Sometimes I think my handsome face will steal not only other’s heart but even mine.

[In the living room]

Rizwan (while coming down): You all can at least applaud while I enter.

[Everyone with a bit of dismay starts clapping]

Rizwan: Thanks guys, you don’t have to do it. But seeing me I know you couldn’t control your hands.

[Rizwan comes and stands in front of the cake and cuts it and eats it]

Rizwan (annoyed): What is this strawberry cake, I don’t like it.

Rizwan’s father: Don’t worry we’ll arrange a new one.

Rizwan: No, leave it, I want my gift now. Bring it now.

[A basket is brought with a cute puppy in it]

Rizwan: He so cute, give me- give me. (now in his hands) He’s so cute!

Rizwan’s mother: She is not he.

Rizwan: I’ll name her Susie.

Random Female Cousins: Show her to us also.

Rizwan: Am I a magnet because girls just come after me (the girls leave).

[Few days later. Susie finds a football and kicks it towards Rizwan]

Rizwan: So, you want to play (he kicks the ball) Come on let’s play (to his mother) I am going out to play in the park. And don’t worry if I am late, probably some girl will be flattering me.

[In the park]

Random Guy: Look it’s that boy who thinks too great of himself.

The Girl: Don’t say like this behind others back, have courage to say it to their face. (The Girl walks to Rizwan; to Rizwan) Before you say anything like that girls come after me you should know one thing, I hate this kind of attitude. (she looks at the football and Susie; on her knees) Oh! So cute puppy, and this little guy even has a little ball with him (she looks carefully) her, I meant her. So, would you like to play football with us but only after you throw away that irritating attitude of yours.

[Rizwan is just amazed seeing her, it’s a birth of young love]

Rizwan (stunned): Ok.

[They start playing, a suave, plump boy with a heart filled with sarcasm and a boy with a smile to steal anybody’s heart also joins them, all have a lot of fun. For about a week this continues to happen, Rizwan comes with Susie and seeing The Girl is again speechless. But one day The Girl didn’t come. In Park].

Rizwan (to Random Guy): Where is that girl, she didn’t come today.

Random Guy: Her parents got divorced and she had to change her house.

Rizwan: Could you tell me her name?

Random Guy: Yea her name is-

[Present time]

Rizwan: I asked him and he told me her name was

Rozee (completing Rizwan’s sentence): Rozee.

Rizwan: You said it, it was you. And ever since we got in the same class I wanted to tell you, (to himself) I like you. (to Rozee speaks fast; blushing) Would you like to play football with me. (to himself) Shit, I screwed it, kill me I don’t want to live anymore.

Rozee (blushing): Yea, why not.

Rizwan: Really! You mean it.

Random Guy (passing by): Why would she have said it if she didn’t mean it.

Rozee: Who is this guy? Excuse me Sir.

Random Guy: Yes?

Rozee: Who are you?

Random Guy (smiles; while walking away): Who me – I am Ankush, your same old Random Guy!

Rozee: He’s a stalker.

Rizwan: Yep. 

[Rizwan and Rozee reach their destination].

April 15th, 2017

Aalochna (on phone): Hey Dhruv, you love me.

Dhruv (on phone): How’d you get my number?

Aalochna: You love me. (Aalochna hangs up)

Dhruv (to himself): What is up with this girl? (Dhruv searches on the internet for - A girl keeps on saying that I love her but I don’t what should I do? As he reads the result) Congrats! what are you doing, taking this for granted. This is a once in a lifetime chance. Just go with the flow. (slamming the phone on the bed) What is this, I don’t love her.

Khushboo (in kitchen; shouts while laughing): But she knows you do!

[Rizwan and Rozee reach their destination, there they see a moving van and beside it a welcoming couple with their daughter – Aalochna. Rozee comes to her].

Rozee: Aalochna what are you doing here?

Aalochna (points at the flat above Rozee’s flat): We have bought that flat, and now we’ll be living there, but I should ask you what are you two doing here together? (Rizwan and Rozee blush)

Rozee (surprised; pointing at Aalochna’s flat): Really that flat.

Aalochna: Yep that one it is.

Rozee: That flat is directly above mine.

Rizwan: What a coincidence.

Rozee: There is one more coincidence (to herself) or that was foreshadowing.

Rizwan: What?

Rozee: You said we might find Aalochna here and we did (both laugh).

Aalochna’s mother: So, you are her new friends.

Rozee: Yes.

Aalochna’s mother: Who is that faithful person she thinks is in love with her now?

Aalochna: Mummy! (Aalochna leaves)

Rozee: You know about her passion of that sorts!

Aalochna’s mother: Yep I do, I bet it’s not this boy.

Rozee: No, it’s not him but your new neighbour.

Aalochna’s mother: You!

Rozee (points at Dhruv’s flat): No but you see that flat there the boy who lives there, he’s the one.

Rizwan: We are going to his home let’s take Aalochna too.

Aalochna’s mother: Aalochna, come here.

Aalochna: What is it?

Aalochna’s mother: Your friends are going to give you a great surprise.

Aalochna: What is it - I love surprises.

Rizwan: What about Dhruv?

Aalochna: You are a silly boy, he loves me.

Rizwan: That means you don’t love him. (Aalochna is speechless).

Rozee: Anyway, let’s go.

[They all go to Dhruv’s place. They are standing in front of their door].

Rozee (in Aalochna’s ear): Keep him busy for a minute. (to Rizwan) Bye I am going.

Aalochna: Bye.

Rizwan: Bye but why are you leaving?

Rozee: You’ll know, now just ring the doorbell. (Rozee leaves)

Aalochna: I’ll ring it!

Rizwan: Ok.

Aalochna: Not ok I am the only one who’ll ring it!

Rizwan: Go ahead, ring it as much as you like.

Aalochna: I shall ring it not you.

Rizwan: Okay ring the bell and get over with it.

Aalochna (ringing the doorbell): I’ll ring it!

Rizwan: Finally. How does Dhruv put up with her?

Aalochna: Because he loves me.

Rizwan: Yeah! we know that already.

[As the door opens they are shocked seeing Rozee opening the door and behind her their teacher Khushboo].

Rozee: Welcome to sis’ home.

Khushboo: This is the first time my students have come to my home. I feel like crying.

Rozee: Come in have a seat.

Khushboo (sad): Rozee you are saying all that I want to.

Rozee: Ok, let’s do this again. go out both of you.

Aalochna: Dhruv loves me.

[Dhruv in his room]

Dhruv (to himself): Did I hear Aalochna? this couldn’t be, how’ll she come here.

[Khushboo opens the door]

Khushboo: Welcome, kids, come in, have a seat.

Aalochna: Where’s Dhruv. (Rozee leads the way)

Rizwan: I just want to know why Dhruv lives with you and how did Rozee open the door?

Khushboo: First make yourself comfortable.

Rizwan (sitting down): Tell me Ma’am.

Khushboo: Don’t call me Ma’am here, sister will do, it embarrassing to hear, being called Ma’am outside the school. Tell me what would you like to have?

Rizwan (shy): You are being awfully kind to me.

Khushboo: Oh! I’m just like this.

[In front of Dhruv’s room]

Rozee (to Aalochna): You be quiet. (to Dhruv) Open the door, I need to enter, close your eyes.

Dhruv: Why do I need to close my eyes?

Rozee: Just do it.

Dhruv: Ok, but I have a bad feeling about it.

Rozee (while entering): Don’t worry, something really - good is going to happen.

Dhruv: I don’t trust you on this. Now can I open my eyes.

Aalochna: Yes, you may.

Dhruv (while opening his eyes): What happened to your voice? (eyes now opened) Ah! No, no this can’t (jumping from his room to Rozee’s room) I am out of here.

Aalochna (caught his leg; didn’t let him reach Rozee’s room): No, you don’t.

Dhruv: What have I done to deserve this!

[In living room]

Rizwan: So, I take it Dhruv must be your husband.

Khushboo (laughing): No, silly boy, he’s my brother.

Rizwan (to himself): I’ve been hearing this a lot lately. (to Khushboo) And what about Rozee.

Khushboo: For that go there (points the way to Dhruv’s room. Rizwan leaves. To herself; aloud) Wow! My students have come to my home to study yeah! First, I should make some tea.

[Khushboo goes to the kitchen. Dhruv’s room].

Rizwan (shocked seeing Dhruv being pulled in from the window by Aalochna and Rozee laughing; shouts): What the hell! Aalochna what are you doing!

Aalochna: Can’t you see I’m pulling him in, he was trying to run away.

Rizwan: He’ll get hurt, Rozee why are you just standing here and laughing?

Rozee: Rizwan, he won’t get hurt compared to Khushboo sis’ rage this is nothing.

Rizwan: Rage? She is as kind as a con man.

Dhruv (being pulled in): Don’t call my sis a con man.

Rozee: Not cool Rizwan.

Rizwan: I didn’t mean it like that.

Aalochna (pulling Dhruv in): Then what did you mean?

Rizwan: I was just - wait a minute we are getting of topic here.

Rozee: No, this is the ‘topic’.

Rizwan: Sorry okay sorry. Maybe I’m not good at comparing things.

Aalochna (pulls Dhruv in; to Rizwan): Yes, you’re not.

Dhruv: let me go! (Aalochna leaves him) I could have died back there.

Rozee: You think we wouldn’t let that happen.

Dhruv: Why are you all here, especially Aalochna.

Khushboo (in living room; shouts): Come here all of you, have some tea.

[All coming in]

Dhruv (coming in, seeing Khushboo smiling to herself): Why is she so bubbly?

[All sit, Aalochna jumps on the seat besides Dhruv].

Aalochna: Dhruv loves me.

Khushboo: I won’t mind Aalochna as my sister-in-law (except Dhruv everyone laughs).

Dhruv: Don’t you start with it.

Aalochna: Hey since we all are here I have a query.

Dhruv: It must be something like me loving you.

Aalochna: I don’t need any queries for that because I know that you love me (Dhruv sighs, Khushboo laughs).

Aalochna: You guys are in the same class as Shagun, right?

Rizwan: Yeah, we are so?

Aalochna: You noticed how mean and rude she is to Vinay.

Rozee: That she is, but how come you’re so interested in it?

Aalochna: Because I saw love for Vinay in her eyes.

Dhruv: I saw it too. (to himself) She’s becoming a love guru all of a sudden.

Rizwan: And Vinay is kind to her then why would she be rude to him?

Khushboo: You guys have exams coming up don’t you, so stop with this soap opera and tell me your doubts.

Aalochna: Who said we have doubts. Does anyone of you have any doubts?

Rizwan: No.

Khushboo (angry): Then why’d you come?

Aalochna: I don’t know, I was invited here.

Rozee: Rizwan and I came here to hangout and on the way, we meet Aalochna and invited her too.

Khushboo (angry): Then go home and study or you’ll fail.

Dhruv: Sis, don’t be a party popper.

Khushboo (enraged): What did you call me!

[Dhruv tries to run away but Khushboo grabs him and throws him out of the window, Aalochna jumps after him. Rizwan is frightened. Khushboo and Rozee sit calmly and enjoy the tea].

Rizwan (shouts): OMG!

Khushboo (sipping the tea): Don’t worry Rizwan, Dhruv and Aalochna will be fine.

Rizwan: How can you sit calmly and drink tea after throwing your brother. And Rozee you too.

Rozee (sipping the tea): Cool down Rizwan nothing will happen to Dhruv.

Rizwan: What about Aalochna then?

Khushboo: He won’t let anything happen to her either.

Rizwan: Sorry but I’m worried so I am going to check on it.

[Dhruv slams open the door with Aalochna in his arms fainted, not from the fall but from being in Dhruv’s arms].

Dhruv (enraged): What the hell sis, you drank my tea also!

Rizwan (runs towards him): Are you alright man, do you not realise that you were just thrown out of the window.

Dhruv (putting Aalochna on the sofa): I don’t mind that, but my tea, my tea!

Rizwan (shocked): You are worried about the tea!

Dhruv (sitting down): Hey, Rizwan can I have your tea.

Rizwan (still in a state of shock): Yeah of course. But there’s Aalochna’s tea also so - (turn around and looks at the tray) Oh, you drank it already.

Dhruv

: Rizwan you look pale I think you should go home now. Should I accompany you?

Rizwan (still shocked): No, I’ll go myself.

Khushboo (stands up): No, you won’t I will take you home. Until I come take care of Aalochna.

Rozee (in sync with Dhruv): Ok.

Dhruv: I have an idea let’s sprinkle some water on her face so that she wakes up.

Rozee: Ok I’ll just bring some.

Dhruv (with a naughty smirk on his face): No, let me.

Rozee: No, Dhruv no whatever you are thinking I won’t let you do it.

Dhruv: Please, I just want to throw a bucket full of water on her so that she wakes up.

Rozee: No.

Dhruv (sighs): I’m going to my room. (He stops as he is pulled) Now what is it? (Dhruv is shocked).

Aalochna (pulling on his shirt): Bring the bucket. I am ready.

Dhruv (smiling): You sure are diligent.

Rozee (imitating Dhruv): Your love has come sweet heart (all laugh).

[Around 6 o’clock Kanika and Sahil are in a park]

Kanika: Look an ice cream stall, let’s go there.

Sahil (while walking to the stall): So, which flavor would you like?

Kanika (blushing; while walking to the stall): Anyone will do if you’re the one giving it.

Sahil: So, how about chocolate?

Kanika: Ok. (they reach the stall and finds Ishita with a guy there).

Sahil: What are doing here and who’s he? 

Ishita: Arnav - We are going out

Arnav(in sync with Sahil, to the vendor): One chocolate ice cream please (both laugh).

Kanika (to Ishita): Why they are ordering only one ice cream?

Ishita (to the vendor): Please make it four ice creams.

Arnav: No.

Ishita: Yes! (they all go and sit down on a bench and eat their ice cream). Isn’t this tasty.

Kanika: Sure is.

Arnav (sad; eating the ice cream): Could have been more if we shared.

Sahil (sad; eating the ice cream): Yep

[Later that evening, Rozee, Aalochna and Dhruv are at their room’s windows, talking].

Aalochna: I think we should go and meet Shagun tomorrow and ask her about it.

Rozee: I’ll ask others, if they want to come but anyway I am and (loud) Dhruv are definitely - coming.

Dhruv: Even if I say no, I know I would be dragged to Shagun’s place (all laugh).

Khushboo (shouts): Either you study or go to sleep!

Dhruv (without thinking): Shut up! Oh no, bye guys remember me.

Khushboo (shouts): Dhruv!

April 15th, 2017

[In Aalochna’s house. After midnight]
