Mahi woke up with a huge headache, Mahir entered the room with a cup of coffee and gave it to Mahi and sat in front of her, he held her hand in his "What happened to you, Mahi? Were you out of your mind? Do you know how hard it was for me to bring you back to your room? Mahi, please don't do this again." Mahir warned her angrily and got up from the bed, "Drink this coffee and get ready for College," that he left the room.

Mahi was devastated, she was feeling pain not only in her head but in her heart, she drank the coffee and got up to get ready for college with a heavy heart. Mahi got ready and left for College.

Smarth was sitting in the library and was preparing notes for the papers, Mahi came there and sat on the chair beside him and kept her head on the table, Smarth looked at her but chose not to say anything. Mahi sat straight and looked at Smarth, "What are you doing?" she asked him while playing with her figures. "I'm making notes for the exams," he replied without looking at her.

"Why are you giving me a cold shoulder? What happened, why are you not looking at me?" Mahi inquired him with an annoying look on her face. Smarth was not in the mood of arguing with her, he packed his things, picked up his bag, and dashed out of the library.

Mahi followed him, she grabbed his arm and turned him towards him, "What happened, gingerbread?" Smarth jerked her hand and looked at her angrily, "Will you please leave me alone for now. I'm not interested in any type of conversation with you right now." with that, he left her there dumbfounded.

Mahi started to walk behind him when suddenly someone pulled her from behind, Mahi turned around and looked at that person. "Parth, what are you doing?" she asked and pulled herself out of his arm. "What happened sweetheart? Why are you behaving like this? You know how much I love you right." he said and hugged her again, "I missed you, baby," he said while holding her tightly. Mahi was not in a mood for any argument with him, but she was not feeling comfortable, Smarth's words were bugging her and she wanted to go to him as soon as possible.

Mahir was talking with Shipra about the project when Smarth came there, he was not interested in having any conversation with any of them he went straight to his seat and sat there. Mahir looked at him and took his leave from Shipra and went to him. "Hey, Smarth what happened buddy? You are not looking in good mood today, All fine," he asked while settling on his seat beside him.

"I'm fine, Buddy just papers are around the corner of this month that's why? Nothing serious," Smarth assured him with a fake smile. Their classes finished and it was lunchtime, they both went to the cafeteria to have their lunch, as they entered Smarth saw Mahi with Parth, his arm was around her shoulder, he was talking to his friend while Mahi was sitting there without any expression on her face. Suddenly, Smarth lost his appetite for having lunch, he sat on the chair while Mahir went to order food.

Shipra and Nancy entered the cafeteria and signaled Mahi to come, Mahi excused herself from Parth and walked towards them, "What happened to you? You are looking terrible." Nancy asked her worriedly. "I'm fine Nancy, just having a headache," Mahi said while rubbing her temples. They all went towards Mahir and Smarth and sat there. Mahir came with the food while Shipra and Nancy went to order food for themselves.

Mahi was sitting quietly and was scrolling her phone when Mahir called her, "How is your headache?" "It's fine now," she said without looking at him. Nancy and Shipra came with their plates of food and sat beside Mahi. "Here eat and take medicine for headache," Nancy said to her. "I'm not hungry you eat your lunch, I'm going to washroom see you in a while," Mahi said and got up from her chair and walked out of the cafeteria.

Mahi came out of the washroom and found Smarth leaning on a wall, he looked at her, held her hand, and started walking towards the stair, "Sit here," he said to her and sat on one of the stairs, Mahi sat down and looked at him, "You didn't wanna talk to me then why you bring me here. He gave her a bottle of juice and said, "drink it," Mahi looked at him in confusion and took the bottle from him. "I don't wanna drink this, and why are you so concerned about me," she inquired, without any expression on her face. Smarth looked at her annoyingly and got up, "I don't have time for your childish behavior. If you don't wanna drink it then throw it" with that he started to walk.

Mahi held her hand, and pulled him, "I'll drink it, please sit down" she pleaded to him. Smarth sat down, "here take this medicine after this," he handed her a medicine. After drinking juice and taking medicine Mahi looked at him, "I have seen Parth making out with Natasha" Mahi said with tears in her eyes. Smarth looked at her in disbelief and said angrily, "Why are you doing this to yourself? he doesn't love you, why is this so hard to understand? Mahi, what happened to you? why are you behaving like this?" he asked in frustration and ran his hand in his hair, anger was visible on his face.

Mahi breakdown into tears and started sobbing hard, "I Love Him, the thought of leaving him makes my heart shatter, What should I do? Smarth, please help me I can't bear this," Smarth pulled her in his arms and started caressing her back to make her calm, "Everything will be fine, pumpkin don't worry." he pinched her cheek and a smile appear on her lips, "Thanks for listing, gingerbread, you are my true friend." she spoke with a smile on her lips. They both got up and Mahi went to her class while Smarth looked at her until she disappeared from his eyes, "Why can't you see how much I love you? what are you to me, princess?

"I HOPE THAT ONE DAY YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE MY LOVE BUT PLEASE DONT TAKE TOO LONG TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, PRINCESS" he spoke to himself and with that, he left for his class.
