As they exchanged glances, the bell's abrupt interruption jolted Bondita from her reverie. "Aapne phir se baaton main laga di," she remarked, breaking the silence as she began to walk away.

Anirudh, wearing a gentle smile, mused inwardly, "2 Sal Ho Gaye abhi bhi maine apne Dil Ki Baat Tumhen Nahin bola hai... per not now kal Tumhari 21st birthday hai aur kal main tumhe apne dil ki baat Baton ga."

Bondita, while making her departure, couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. "2 Sal Intezar Kiya Aapke Dil Ki Baat jaane ka per aapane Tho Kabhi bataya Nahin... per main aur Intezar nahin kar sakti kal Mera birthday hai aur kal main aapko meri felling bataogyi."

The tension between them lingered as they both took a deep breath, mutually agreeing, "Is bar Bata Kar Hi rahunga/Rahungi," promising to disclose their true feelings this time.

Bondita approached the results board and observed Mini, who wore a stern expression, radiating frustration. Concerned, Bondita approached Mini, inquiring, "Kya hua, kadvi Kareli Jaisi Munh Kyu banaye Rakhi Ho?"

Mini, visibly irritated, rolled her eyes and responded, "Breakup!"

Bondita, taking a deep breath, disclosed, "7th..."

Perplexed, Mini questioned, "Kya 7th?"

Bondita clarified, "7th time... Is mahine Mein yah 7th time hai jo tum dono ne breakup kiya hai... Phir do theen ghante bad Ban Jaate Ho Woh laove daove couple."

Mini, seemingly unimpressed, retorted, "We are serious this time."

Bondita nodded understandingly and uttered, "Yeah yeah, I know," before proceeding towards the results board, with Mini trailing behind.

Coincidentally, Batuk came in front of Mini, leading to synchronized eye rolls from both. Mini, annoyed, instructed Bondita, "Bondu, ise bolo mere samne se hathe."

Simultaneously, Batuk added, "Bon, isko bolo mujhe koi shauk nahi iske samne khade rahane ka."

Mini, with a pointed look, continued, "Bondu, isse bol ki koi shauk nahi hai toh mere samne khade kyun hai."

Batuk asserted, "Bon, isko bolo ki yeh rasta isska nahi hai. Main jahan chahunga, main wahan khada rahunga."

Exasperated, Bondita intervened, "SHUT UP! Jab tum donon ke pass munh aur khan donon hain toh usse bol aur sun nahi sakti? Kyun mujhe bich mein la rahe ho... huhhh, jab bhi tum donon ka breakup hota hai, na mera sar kha jaate ho."

Having said that, she walked away to check the results. Batuk and Mini exchanged glares before turning and heading in separate directions.

Anirudh sat in his cabin, contemplating how to express his love to Bondita in the most proper way.

As a knock echoed through his cabin, Anirudh emerged from his contemplative state, adjusting himself in his seat. Politely, he uttered, "Come in," inviting the visitor into the room.

As Bondita entered with a radiant smile, she greeted, "Sirrrrrr." Anirudh, meeting her gaze, reciprocated with a warm smile and replied, "Sir?"

Bondita clarified, "I mean Anii guess want!"

Anirudh, still smiling, reassured her, "No need to guess; I already know. Congratulations, tum 2nd year main pure college main top kiye ho..."

Bondita smiled, expressing a subtle acknowledgment, "hmmm... aapko toh sab pata chal jatha hai, ab mujhe kuch kehne ki zaroorat hi nahi hai."

Anirudh responded gently, "Nahi, Bondita, kuch batayein kehna zaroori hota hai."

Bondita, still hesitant, urged, "Toh keh do na." Anirudh, maintaining a warm gaze, encouraged her.
