Rahul buried his face in his hands. While Armaan stared helplessly at him.
Armaan – There is nothing you can do now.
Rahul – I guess there is one thing I can do.
Armaan – What is that?
Rahul – You will see. Can you do me a favor?
Armaan – Tell me.
Rahul – Call all the students in the auditorium. And please see to it that Muskaan comes there too.
Armaan grins.
Armaan – Right away.
*After an hour*
All the students (well most of them) gathered in the auditorium. They exchanged confused looks. Muskaan, Riddima and Trishala were there too.
Rahul came up on the stage holding a mic.
Rahul – I am sorry for wasting your time guys. But there is something important I gotta say today.
All the students exchange glances.
Rahul – I made lots of mistakes in my life. But them mistake I made recently was the worst one till date.
Rahul looks directly at Muskaan and Muskaan looks away.
Rahul – Muskaan. I am sorry for everything I did. Really sorry.
Muskaan gasps. She wasn't expecting this.
Rahul – I know I have hurt you. I have hurt you a lot. And I can never forgive myself for that.Never.
Muskaan looks away.She didn't want any apologies. Rahul sighs.
Rahul – Muskaan……I love you.
The students gasp. Trishala shrieks. Muskaan and Riddima are shocked. Someone cheered.
A voice from the crowd – WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Rahul – I have never been this serious in my life. Believe me.
Rahul gets off the stage and walks slowly towards Muskaan. Muskaan is in a state of shock.
