Part 2
Suhani is done with her paper. She comes back happily. Yuvraj gives her thumbs up as he is unable to speak. Suhani understands his gesture & said, "Thanks a lot Yuvraj.
The next day, everyone are writing their exams. Sandhya, Suhani, Yuvraj & Suraj do well in their exams. However, Suraj still hates Sandhya & is resilient towards her. All are done with their exams. One day, the principal organizes a training camp at Khandala. There was an option between Karate & Dancing. Many boys & girls had chosen Karate whereas the ones who chose dancing are learning Karate in martial arts classes. Sandhya, Suhani, Yuvraj & Suraj had opted for Karate & have also joined the classes. At Khandala, the karate master asks everyone to demonstrate their skills All 4 of them excel in their skills. Suraj was filled with envy for Sandhya.
Suraj thinks: Sandhya is a girl yet her skills are so amazing but I am not less than anyone.
The trainer tests everyone's reflexes and he finds that Sandhya's reflexes are faster than all the ladies. Among the gents, Suraj is number 1. The trainer then conducts the test as to who can climb the hill quickly.
Trainer: Whoever climbs the hill without anyone's help will get more points. Whoever climbs with someone's help will score lesser points but whoever climbs the hill as well as helps others will get the bonus.
Everyone accepts the challenge.
Sandhya and Suraj are enthusiastic and they reach the top. They also help others to get into the top to score more points. However, when Suraj helps one of the guys, he gets Suraj hanging and gets into the top.
Suraj is struggling and is on the verge of falling. Sandhya sees this and helps him out. When Suraj is about to leave, Sandhya stops him and said, "How ungrateful you are! No thank you nothing.
Suraj: Thanks for saving me. I appreciate your courage and enthusiasm. You have taken such a huge risk without caring for your life. That is what you want to hear from me right? Well, I know that you are doing this to score more points and put me down so people will say that you are great. I tried to frame you in the cheating case but you escaped and proved me guilty in front of the principal and you spoke for me. I would prefer to die or get ruined rather than taking your help.
Sandhya: What did I do to you that you hate me so much? Is it because of your jealousy?
Suraj: Me and jealousy are the 2 opposite poles. No need to be so happy. There are still many rounds wherein I can defeat you.
Sandhya: Well, it that is the case, even I would want that.
The contest gets over. The trainer is about to give extra marks for Sandhya over Suraj but Sandhya said, "He had already reached the top but the guy had cheated him in the pretext of taking help and got him hanged. I saved him without expecting anything from him. I don't need them.
Trainer: Are you sure?
Sandhya: Yes, because that was cheating. Anyone would need help at that point.
The trainer the boy named Salim who had cheated Suraj. He said, "Salim, you are disqualified. You don't get any points in this round. I give the extra points to Suraj and Sandhya.
Suraj and Sandhya's scores are equal. The next round is the trekking. It starts raining heavily. All of them climb to hill to reach the temple which is at the top. Salim is fuming. He decides to take revenge from Sandhya. On the pretext of climbing, Salim splashes dirty water on Sandhya's dress and face. The mud goes into her eyes and she is unable to see. The next moment, Salim pushes her. Sandhya holds the top of the cliff which is between Sandhya and her fall. Sandhya shouts for help. She is unable to open her eyes but is feeling that she is going to fall. She then gets that dream and starts screaming for help
Yuvraj sees that and tries to help her but Salim's friends start torturing him too. Suraj comes suddenly and rescues Sandhya and Yuvraj. He then gives her the water bottle to wash her face. Sandhya washes her face and eyes. To her surprise, she sees Suraj who has helped her.
Sandhya: Thanks a lot, Suraj.
Suraj: No need to thank me. I would have done the same if any other person was there in your place. Time is very less now & many people have gone ahead. By the way, you refused to take the points since you saved me. So, I want you to take those points.
Suhani also comes to that spot. They resume trekking, going by pairs. Suraj & Sandhya make one pair. Yuvraj & Suhani make another pair. All of them move fast & overtake all others. They eventually reach the temple faster than others.
Finally, the trainer announces the results. Suraj & Sandhya top once again. Salim gets zero yet again. Sandhya sees Salim face to face & it begins to remind her of her dreams but remembering Pankaj's words, she decides to face that fear.
Later, everyone go to their rooms. Suraj & Sandhya think about each other.
Suraj thinks: Sandhya is definitely talented but she is very good & pure at heart. She is very much selfless.
Sandhya's POV: Suraj is jealous & arrogant but he is not bad at heart.
All the students come downstairs for Karate & Kung Fu. The trainer places the bricks one over the other & asks them to break them with their hands. All of them break the brick on their first attempt. The trainer then makes Salim to run 10 rounds for cheating, as a form of punishment.
After the end of the training camp, Suraj goes to Sandhya & said, "I am sorry for my rude & jealous behavior. Please forgive me.
Sandhya: It is fine. I understand that it is not easy to digest when someone overtakes you when you are the topper.
Suraj: If you don't mind, can we become friends?
Sandhya: Of course, in fact I wanted to ask you this.
Suraj: So, from now on, we are friends.
Yuvraj messages Suhani, "Shall we become friends?
Suhani replies: Yes.
Everyone gets into the bus the last day & leave Khandala.
