Part 44:
" Ishani , I am sorry but I need to go to Jaisalmar today and I will return on our competition day..." Kumud said in a breath.
Ishani stared at her shocked widely opening her mouth.
" But why..." Ishani was asking when Kumud took out her phone and showed Ishani the message.
Ishani read the message and looked towards Kumud , " But Kumud , i didn't got any such message?" Ishani asked confused.
Kumud sighed relief as Ishani said those words , " Kumud , I am talking to you..." Ishani said as she pushed Kumud who was lost in thinking , a bit.
" I...Ish...Ishani...I don't know why you didn't got any such message..." Kumud said tensed.
" Lets ask Nishant..." Ishani said holding Kumud's arm.
" Ishani...you go , ask him , bring him , I am in class , I really need to register for this...I want to help them..." Kumud said as freed her arm from Ishani's hand.
" Even I want to help Kumud but..."
" Ishani please..." Kumud said looking straight into Ishani's eyes.
Ishani nodded as she felt something strange about Kumud's behaviour, she went on to call Nishant.

After half an hour:
In classroom:
" Arrey , Ishani you have checked 10 times , it won't change , you didn't got any such message..." Nishant said entering the classroom with Ishani who was looking into her phone.
" But Nishant , you got the message , Kumu got the message then why not me?" Ishani asked looking at him angrily.
They both reached the teacher's desk where Kumud was already standing , " Here's your form..." The teacher said giving a form to Kumud.
Kumud took it and smiled , as she turned NishAni were standing behind her.
" Nishant also got the message , why not me...??" Ishani asked angrily like a child looking at Kumud.
Kumud realizing that Nishant has also got the message got tensed and looked at Nishant in tension as Nishant was looking towards Kumud in a " This girl has went crazy' Expression.
" Let me tell you why Ishani Gadodia..." The teacher said answering Ishani's question.
" Ma'am...?" Ishani looked towards the teacher confused.
" This message and opportunity is given only to those who have above 90 attendence and your attendance sadly is 89.5%." NishaniMud looked towards the teacher shocked.
" 0.5%..." Ishani was speaking when the teacher cut her in the middle , " It matters sweetheart."
" Leave it Ishani , Nishant you are coming...??". Kumud asked Nishant in nervousness praying for a 'no' from his mouth.
" I would have come but if Ishani is not coming then..." Nishant was speaking when , " You shouldn't come..." Kumud completed.
" Already I am going...then Ishani will be alone..." Kumud said putting down her eyelashes.
Nishant nodded in a yes and held Kumud's shoulder , " So sorry Kumud , I am not coming..."
" No problem Nishant..." Kumud tried to smile.
" Its 8 currently , you need to assemble the ground by 9 to catch the bus at 10:00...ok..." The teacher told Kumud while Kumud nodded leaving with NishAni.

" Kumud...is it necessary to go...I am having weird feelings..don't know why...thats why I also didn't fought to go..." Ishani said as she was packing Kumud's bag.
" Ishani , nothing wrong can happen to me if I have you with me...though not by my side but you are always there in my heart na..." Kumud said as she was picking up some important books.
" Yaa...you'll return before competition na..."
" Yaa off course Ishani...don't worry now..."
Ishani was over with the packing while Kumud was putting in her books when suddenly Ishani handed her some medicines and injections.
" Ishani , what is this? We'll have the medicines and all there..." Kumud said looking at the things in her hand.
" I know Kumud but that place is danger prone , you never know what happens , when another earthquake attacks and all the relief material goes waste so this is just for some immediate help..." Ishani said like an innocent child while Kumud smiled and nodded.
" Ok Ishani , then I'll keep them in my hand bag only..." Kumud said taking the things and keeping them in her handbag.
She picked up her bag and started moving towards the door while Ishani accompanied her.
" Ishani classes are going to start , you go , I'll go , don't miss your lectures because of me..." Kumud said moving towards the ground. Ishani nodded and left, " Take care..."
Kumud looked towards Ishani going , " I don't know Ishani how my second princess would be , just wish one thing , she should be like you..." Kumud said with a smile.
She walked towards the ground where the attendance of those coming for the relief work were being taken. She gave her attendance and silently slipped out of the place to the door when everyone was climbing the bus.
She moves towards the gate of the collage taking her bags , as soon as she crosses the gate , a shadow is seen following her.
