Sumedh rested his head on his table and closed his eyes after lunch break as that was his free lecture and he was very tired. He smiled in his sleep when he noticed the mysterious girl in his sleep after long time.

He smiled widely and ran to her and was about to ask her the reason for not showing up for so many days. But, he stopped and the smile vanished when he noticed her eyes for the first time.

The eyes were filled with sadness and tears started rolling down from her eyes. He held her hands, but immediately left those when she winced in pain. His eyes shifted to her hands and instantly his eyes filled up with tears too when he noticed marks of stick on her palm.

He started crying audibly and started babbling in his sleep. The other teachers got worried when they noticed him. Abhishek entered in the staffroom at the same time and looked at Sumedh when he heard the sound of crying.

He got worried and started shooking Sumedh's shoulder. Sumedh woke up with jerk and looked at him. He looked around while wiping his tears and apologized to all teachers who were looking at him weirdly.

"Ye le. Paani pe."Abhishek extended a glass of water towards him. Sumedh took the glass and gulped the water.

Abhishek sat in front of him and asked worriedly in low voice,"Kya huwa ? Sab theek hai na ? Kuch huwa kya sapnein mein ?"

"Maine... Maine uski eyes dekhi."He sniffed,"Bahut udas thi aur roo rhi thi."Abhishek was about to ask something, but Sumedh continued,"Aur.. uske haath par m-marks the.. S-stick ka."He stammered and looked down.

"Stick marks ?"Abhishek widened his eyes,"Iska matlab.. she could be a student or Worst could be.. she is your stu-student ?"

"I don't know. I just felt very bad."He covered his face with his hands.

Abhishek sighed,"Acha bta.. kis ladki ko mara tune aaj ?"

"Subha se to... kafhi saari pit chuki hai mere haatho se."He sighed and looked down,"Lekin vo sabhi deserve bhi karti thi.. bewajha nhi mara maine kisi ko. Bahut control kar rha tha itnein dino se. Lekin sudharnein ka naam hi nhi le rhe the. So, I had to... punish them. Lekin meri dream girl.. unn ladkiyo mein se nhi ho sakti. She can't be a duffer."

"May be vo duffer na ho.. kisi pareshani mein ho.. aur tune use galat samhaj kar punish kiya ho. Ho sakta hai na ?"Abhishek tried to calm him down.

"Yeah.. may be.. ho sakta hai."He said after giving a thought,"But, vo hogi kon ? Jisko jisko punish kiya.. sabse jakar sorry bolu kya ?"He asked innocently.

"Nhi.. rehnein de.. baat ulti par sakti hai."Abhishek rubbed temple of his head,"Wait karte hai thoda. Atleast itna to pta chala ki life mein aa chuki hai jab ek baar aawaz sunai di aur ab eyes dikhi. To phir samnein bhi aa hi jayegi."

"Babe.. this weekend our plan is confirmed, right ? We are going for date."Siddharth asked Adya. He was lying down while resting his head in her lap.

"Ahmm.. babe actually... sorry."She answered in low voice,"Actually, my friends already made plans and I couldn't deny them."She pouted cutely.

"What ?"He sat up straight,"This is not fair.. I was so excited for our date because you hardly give me time."He pouted innocently,"Should I also join you guys ? Then, I might get sometime to spend with you."

"I don't think so this is a good idea."She chuckled and combed his hair by her fingers,"I don't want my girlfriends drooling over you. I will be super jealous and then I might kill you."She chuckled again,"We will go next time, I promise and may be if you wait a little londer, you might get which you are waiting for."

He started blushing hard,"Then, I have to book a room."

She slapped on his arm,"Shut up,  I was talking about kiss. Nevermind, now you are not going to get that too. Dirty mind."

"Sorry sorry, I was just joking. I just want to spend some time with you."He apologized cutely. She didn't say anything and looked somewhere else,"Okay, what can I do to make my babe smile again ? Kaan pakdu ? Utak baithak karu, yaha par sabke samnein ? Murga ban jayu ?"He giggled,"I don't mind doing anything for you ?"

"Isse mera kya faida ?"She cutely said.

"Then, tell me. What should I do, ma'am ?"He smiled while hugging her by waist.

"I might forgive you, if you buy me the bag which I showed you. The bag from gucci, but that's a little expensive. Leave it, I will buy it myself."She broke the hug.

"Does it really matter ? If you buy or me ?"He smiled "Let's go, let's bring you the bag."

"Now ?"She smiled widely.

"Yup. You wanted that for so long then why should we wait ? Let's go now."He smiled.

"Yay... I love you."She hugged him tightly.

"I love you too."
