The Next Morning....
Rudra and Radika woke up and started their day in a light, comfortable mood. After breakfast, they got ready and headed to college.
At College….
In the Classroom…..
The classroom is filled with stress. Everyone is discussing the exam pattern and important topics. Then our friends — Sara, Hima, and Rohan — are also talking, but about Rohan's proposal.
Sara said, "Why didn't you propose to her? Everything was perfect yesterday — flowers and the right time."
Rohan said, "Don't you see Rudra sir yesterday? If I propose in front of him, it will be awkward."
Hima said, "Yeah, Sara… what Rohan said makes sense."
Sara asked him, "Are you going to try again?"
Rohan said, "Yeah… but I don't know why Rudra sir treats me differently. I mean, he always looks angry at me."
Sara brushed it off. "Come on, Rohan. Maybe it's just your imagination."
Rohan told himself, "I hope so…"
Radhika entered the classroom. "What are you guys talking about?"
Hima said, "We are talking about Rudra sir."
Sara hesitated and said, "What she meant is… we are talking about Rudra sir's subject for the exam."
Radika said, "Yeah, exams are near…"
Their voices became low and tensed.
Hima said, "Guys, let's make a timetable and complete revision first. We can write the exams with confidence."
They all said, "We can do it."
They all started preparing for exams according to their plans. Rudra was also engaged in his work.
Finally, the exam days came. They all wrote their exams well. The whole month of October went on with tension, stress, hurry, morning and late-night studies.
Sara said, "Finally, exams are over."
Hima said, "Yeah, finally. They went well."
Rohan said, "Now tension is over, so how about we go out for fun?"
Sara asked him, "Where should we go?"
Rohan said, "How about a pub?"
Sara said, "It sounds good. Let's go."
Radhika said, "No, I'm not coming, guys.
Sara said, "Come, Radhika, please."
Radika replied, "Don't try to convince me, friends. I'm just going to have a good rest at home, okay?"
Later, Radika and Rudra came home. Both were feeling relaxed after a rough time.
At night….....
In their room…...
They had their dinner and were chilling in the room, scrolling through their phones. Radhika's friends sent her pictures of themselves enjoying at the pub. Radhika looked at them and felt a bit envious.
Then, she got an idea.
She called Rudra in a low voice, "Sir…"
Rudra replied casually, "What, Radika?"
With curiosity, Radika asked, "Sir, have you ever been to a pub?"
Rudra said, "No. But why are you asking me this question?"
Radika said, "My friends are all enjoying at the pub. And yesterday, you told me that you never really enjoyed your life. So…"
Rudra asked, "So…?"
Radika said, "Why don't we go to a pub and enjoy?"
Rudra immediately replied, "I'm not going to agree to this."
Radika asked, "Why, sir?"
Rudra said, "Are you really asking me why? You're just a student now, and a pub isn't suitable for you."
Radika frowned. "What do you mean, sir? You think I'm a kid?"
Rudra said firmly, "Yes, you're just a kid."
Radika huffed. "It's okay, sir. If you don't come with me, I'll go with my friends."
Rudra asked sharply, "What friends?"
Radika replied calmly, "Sara, Hima, and Rohan, sir."
Rudra narrowed his eyes. "Rohan also joins you?"
Radika smiled. "Yes, sir.
Rudra said, "Tomorrow I'm busy. Let's go on Saturday."
Radika looked at him, surprised. "But sir, you told me that you're not coming."
Rudra replied, "If you ask me more questions, I'll cancel the plan."
Radika quickly said, "No sir! Don't cancel it. We are going this Saturday."
Saturday night...
