Next day, Sumedh entered in the class and his first sight fell on Himani who was doing her punishment as mentioned by him. He walked towards his table while looking at her and kept down his stuffs. Everyone stood up and wished him. He smiled and gestured them to sit and again turned his head to look at Himani.

"What are you doing ?"He finally asked her.

"Sir, yesterday you asked me to do this punishment everyday."She replied.

"I said, if you enter in my class.. THEN you have to do this punishment. It is not mandatory for you to attend my lectures."He said and turned towards the class and continued after opening his book,"You are free to leave. I have some important topics to cover. Others might get distracted."

"So, should we start ?"He smiled at the class,"Today, I am going to start a very important topic. Haar saal exam mein 20 marks ka question aata hi aata hai iss topic se. To koi bhi doubt ho to puch lena."

He picked up his book and turned back and narrowed his eyebrows at Himani and asked in little irritated tone,"Why you are still here ? I am giving you permission, you can leave."

"Sir, Can I please attend the lecture ? I am sorry for my yesterday's behaviour."She said in low voice while lowering her lashes,"I actually need your help and guidance to keep up my marks. Please, let me attend."

He stared at her for few seconds while her head was bowed. He took a deep breathe and said,"Fine.. go and sit."

"Thank you sir."She said and tried to stand up, but she struggled to stand as her legs were paining.

Sumedh moved his head sideways when he noticed her while others muttered names while looking at her. He went to her, and made her stand by holding her elbow,"I hope ab sabak mil gya hai tumhe.. abse class ke time par sirf class mein hi dhyaan rahega."

"Yes sir. Sorry sir."She replied in low voice and went to her seat.

"Okay. Let's begin."Sumedh sighed and then started explaining the topic while writing on the board.

After sometime, a phone started ringing. Everyone started looking at each other scaridly and tried to find whose phone was ringing. Sumedh narrowed his eyebrows when the ring didn't stop within 5 seconds.

He turned towards the class and furiously asked,"Kiska phone hai ye ? Kitni baar kaha hai ki class mein phone ya to switch off rahega aur silent mode par. Kiska phone baj rha hai ? Khade hoyo jaldi."He looked around.

After few seconds, a girl raised her hands, but before she could say anything, Sumedh said,"Tumhara phone hai ? Niklo class ke bahar."

"No sir.. mera nhi.. Aapka."She said and pointed at his table.

Sumedh shifted his gaze towards she was pointing and giggled nervously while walking towards the phone, picked it up and disconnected the call immediately,"Mera tha.. caller... caller tune yaad hi nhi rha. Sorry class for disturbing."He sweetly said while placing hand on his chest and then apologized to that girl as well. He quickly changed the mode to vibration when it started ringing again.

"Sir.. utha lijea na.. kya pta usi someone special ka ho.. jiske baremain aap kal class mein bta rhe the."A boy teased while hiding behind a girl.

"Kis.. Kisnein kaha ye ?"He asked while controlling his blush,"Padhai par dhyaan do beta.. inn sab par nhi. Anyway, bahut time waste ho gya.. aage continue karte hai."

He kept the phone in his pocket, walked towards the board and continued explaining. He took out the phone from the pocket while explaining as it was ringing again. But, he kept in his pocket after checking the caller id. The students looked at each other and giggled silently.

"Note down kar lo sabhi."He said and stood aside. He sighed and took out the phone as it rang again. He received the call and informed,"Baba.. class mein hu. Half an hour mein call back karta hu."

He was audible to the class even though he spoke in low voice as there was pin drop silence. His facial expressions changed while on the call and his eyes welled up. The book fell from his hand and he ran out of the class without informing anything.

Everyone shockingly looked at each other and girls started worrying as they noticed tears in his eyes. Siddharth was surprised too. They started asking Siddharth but he wasn't aware of anything. After 5 mins, Abhishek opened the door of the class and started looking for Siddharth.

As soon as, Students noticed Abhishek, they started asking about Sumedh, but he ignored every question and said to Siddharth when he found him,"Bag lekar aaja jaldi. Aur Sumedh kuch chor kar gya hai kya class mein ?"He nodded in yes while inserting stuffs in his bag,"Theek hai vo bhi le le. Aur jaldi aa."

"Haan dada.. bas 2 mins."Siddharth said and closed his books and walked towards Sumedh's table.

"2 mins nhi hai humare paas. Jaldi jaldi utha."He said and started replying in call in non audible tone.

Siddharth picked up all stuffs of Siddharth and left from there. Both of them ran out of building. Another teacher entered in the class with his stuffs and kept on the table.

"Shor nhi karega koi.. shanti se padhai karo sabhi."He announced.

"Sir, Sumedh sir ko kya huwa ?"Someone asked.

"I don't know. Tum sab kaam karo."He said and sat down on the chair.
