Sumit goes to Kumkum's room, where she's studying her book and marking the important things down, sitting on the bed..
Su-Main aa jaoon kumkum?..
Kk-Haan Sumit..poochne ki baat nahin hai..aao na..
He sits on the bed...looking at the ground..
Su-I am sorry...and thankyou...
Kk-nahin nahin...main samajh gayi..kuch tension hogi...aur waise bhi..tum jo mere liye kar rahe ho...uske baad shukriya toh mujhe kehna chahiye na..
Sumit smiles...
Su-Kaafi samajhdaar ho gayi ho tum...accha tabiyat toh theek hai na ab?...
Kk-bilkul fit and fine hun...
Su-ye lo...notes...aur kuch poochna ho toh mujhe bula lena..hmm?..
Kk-thanks...
Sumit leaves after the short talk...As he reaches the door, he finds himself being called by Kumkum..
Sumit-Haan...
Kk-Apne tension share karoge?...
Sumit-Nahin kk..aise koi khaas tension nahin hai...pareshaan mat ho tum..
Kk-Chupana chahte ho?..
Sumit-Tension hoti hai toh sab se pehle tumhe hi batata hun na?...chalo..u carry on ur studies...phir main bhi toh tumhaare answers cheat karunga na exams mein...
Kumkum chuckles at his joke...

Another month passes by...and kumkum is in the 3rd month of her pregnancy...
The entire month was quite hectic...Sumit, had kept himself busy in taking care of Kumkum and catching up with studies...Kumkum was also having a tough time...Being the first trimester, often, she was unwell and having emotional breakdowns...Sumit had been a backup support for her..
One day,
Sumit enters Kumkum's room and finds her crying...
Su-Kk?...Kya hua?..tum ro kyun rahi ho KK?...dekho..tabiyat kharaab hai kya?..kk?..
Kumkum, herself doesn't know the reason for the outburst...As sumit comes near her, she immediately hugs him very tightly...
He caresses her in his arms...
Su-Kk?...kya hua?..tabiyat kharab lag rahi hai?..Kk?...Tani ko bula doon main?..hmm..KK?..
Kumkum moves away, realising what she was doing....Sumit notices her embarassement..
Su-Arrey..koi bat nahin...tu tension kyun le rahi hai..ho jata hai kabhie kabhie...pareshaan mat ho...ek kaam kar...let ja aaram se..hmm?...mere khayaal se thak bhi gayi hai...abhi aaram kar aur ro mat...
He puts her to sleep and then, leaves....

As a result of the hectic schedule, Sumit didn't get enough time to meet Anjali more than once or twice a week...Anjali's doubts regarding their relationship had confirmed...
Next day...
There's a college festival taking place where Sumit is to host the function...Proff. Vera had made sure not to involve Kumkum in any sort of activity, so that she doesn't get stressed..It
the D'Day...and Sumit is a bit nervous...He's rehearsing, before Anjali...
Anjali-Sumit..ye line phir se bolo...tumne ek word theek nahin bola..
Sumit gets irritated...
Sumit-Anjali..well, Kumkum ne reherse karaya hai..use last minute changes ke baare mein sab pata hai..Pls usko bula do..it'll help me a lot..where's she?..
Anjali is hurt but she doesn't retaliate..Instead, she leaves a message for Kk through some girl..
Kumkum comes running slowly ...
Su-Ye ladki paagal ho gayi hai..
Instead, he runs to her and stops her...
Su-BHAAGO MAT...aaram se chalo Kk...kya kar rahi ho...
Kk-Sorry ..sorry...chalo..reherse kar rahe ho na...
Su-chalo..tum baitho and I'll start...
He makes her sit on a stair-step and starts rehersing...Anjali is quite hurt by their actions...and leaves...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Sumit reaches the stage, everyone wishes him luck...He hugs Anjali and gives a small peck on cheeks..
Su-Kk kahaan hai?..
He finds Kumkum coming with a bottle of water...
Kk-ye lo..pani..aur best of luck..
Sumit hugs her too...
Su-kuch khaya?.....dhoop tez hai...tu baith jaana aur thakan ho toh building ke andar chali jaana..ok?..
Kk-Haan baba..kha lungi...
Su-Anjali..isne subah se kuch khaya nahin hai theek se...please ise khila dena kuch aur tum bhi jaldi se kha lena..aur yahin milna..I want to see your faces...right before my eyes..
Anjali smiles at his sentence...
Su-ok..bye.... π³
