Maria knew by now everybody would be singing "Maria like's Arjun" but to her suprise no body knew so apparently Rony hadn't said a word to anybody. Though she was sure he would say Arjun. She was right at this and she decided to confront him.

It was a saturday and Maria was down before anybody. She wanted to clear everything once and for all. Everybody came down and the breakfast was served but Arjun didn't show up. For the rest of the day, lunch snacks nothing. Arjun never came down. She started to get frustrated now. It was in the evening when the warden chased him down he had to come down. It was a fun time sports the music was played and the students could dance senior students were however always shy and were always stiff. Just when Maria was approaching them, Arjun pulled Rony and they disappeared. They were nowhere to be seen yet again. Maria said to herself "Let this be!".

Neha came up with the idea of walking around the campus. They started to walk on the school premises. Just when they walked towards the swimming pool they heard the sound of splashes of water. When they reached the gate they found Rony sitting with dipped feet in the water and Arjun was Swimming. They were speaking of something in Hindi. When Arushi was about to shout concerned of her brother Maria sttoped her and told "Translate for me what they are saying". When Arushi started Translating Maria guessed right they were speaking of her.

Rony: "Brother I think she likes you, she blushed trust me."

Arjun: "Even your Mother smiled when she spoke to me. You think even she had what do call that in english "crush" on me.

Rony: "Fucker I am not joking"

Arjun: "Good good with this girl you've got a good chance to pull my leg. Pull Pull nicely."

Rony: "She is a good girl what's your problem", Arjun stopped swimming

Arjun: " She is too good, Look at her and then look at me. What are you comparing. She's beautiful she's go..she's ni... she's.... understand dude!" Arjun cut himself and Rony was smiling at him. Even Arushi and Neha were smiling and even Maria was smiling. Just then Arjun noticed the shadows. In a moment the sound of the splashes stopped. When Arushi looked inside through the gate they were gone even Arjun's clothes that were hanging on the railing were gone. "They are gone" whispered Arushi "What! Where?" Neha was starteld and the three of them looked inside through the grills. From the back a voice came "What do guys think you are looking at?" It was Rony. Behind Rony was Arjun standing shirtless.

"How.. when.. you people were there just now. When did you come here?" Arushi said.

"What are you people even doing here?" pushed Rony

"We can ask you the same question?" Came his big sister's concerned reply and the regular sibling quarrel began. Neha stood there looking at Arjun and Maria who were now looking straight into each others eyes. Arjun was time and again looking down and up and to his left and his right and finally manahged to squeak out few words from his mouth "R...Rony". Rony could not hear him the first time as he was busy fighting over justice of freedom with his sister. Rony was now standing behind Maria. After several tries of Arjun of getting Rony's attention Neha shouted "Rony!" all eyes went to her" "Arjun is calling you" she said softly creating a mockery of Arjun. Arjun looked at him and pointed to his hand. Rony was holding Arjun's shirt. Arjun took the shirt and turned backa and started to walk away wearing the shirt. When he heard a voice.

"Umm.. Arjun can I talk to you for a minute?" Arjun didn't know how to respond. He was blank and he nodded swinging his head up and down and stumbling over " Ye...yesssss". Maria walked up to Arjun and they walked side to side talking to each other.

"Hi, My name is Maria Smith though i am sure you know this by now" she started

Arjun seemed lost as if she was speaking "Hebrewish" language when she looked at him he replied quickly "Yeah, yeah I know". Stumbling a little.

"You may have heard some other things about me.." she continued

"That you're beautiful" Arjun cut her, He was not looking at her even he looked down as he spoke. This time he didn't stumble.

"Sorry" She said looking at her

"Huh! what what happened?" Arjun was surprised as if he didn't know what he had just said.

"I'm sorry but are you even hearing what I am saying?" She confirmed

"I think I am" Arjun said

"Then are you hearing what you are saying" She pushed further

"I am really sorry I don't know what I am sating and I don't know if you understood what I said in The pool but belive me I didn't say anything wrong. Rony told me things which I was just making him understand that he had got everything wrong..." He continued. Maria noticed his english was fluent too. He didn't fake accents like some people always did around her. She couldn't stop but smile at Arjun who was now as if in immense trouble.

"Thanks anyway..." She cut him smiling and then "I believe we can be friends then!" and she held her hand forward. Arjun shook her hand and after a severe time of ultimate pain he smiled as if he was relieved. Maria turned to go the dining but Arjun kept walking forwards. Maria understood he was going back to his hostel.

"Hey you won't eat" Maria asked

"Nah! I'll just go up for now" he replied

"What did you even eat the whole day. I didn't see you down almost the whole day."

"I've got food upstairs" he said and then stopped and then he spoke "I think I should havedinner anyways I'm very hungry." He said.

Later on Neha Arushi and Rony joined Maria and Arjun and they sat together at the same table having dinner. Both sides Rony and Arushi and Neha saw How unusual Maria and Arjun behaved.
