management. But their decision about the college transfer was still pending.

                  ‘I trust you,’ said Aranya.
                  ‘Though as I said I would rather not have you leave India. I wish you could
               stay back for a couple of years. We could shift together,’ Raghuvir said.

                  ‘I know that. But two years isn’t a long time, Raghuvir. And eventually, you
               will be there too. You have to know I just can’t go back to my college. For the
               first time in my life I feel happy about this,’ said Aranya, looking around the

               house. ‘After another month of this, three years of that college will be hard for
               me to take. I want to be away from my family and those kids at college.’

                  Raghuvir nodded and ate in silence. After a while, he asked, ‘It’s about that
               boy, Dhruv, isn’t it?’
                  It wasn’t the first time Dhruv had come up in the conversations. Just a few
               days back, Raghuvir had caught Aranya Googling his name. ‘I only harbour

               hatred for him. I want him to die,’ Aranya had said, wrapping her arms around
               Raghuvir, who had gotten a little suspicious.

                  ‘I’m with you now and that’s all I care about. I have had it with people like
               him. I don’t want to be around him. I won’t be able to take it, Raghuvir. It’s too
               much negativity! Him, my parents, everything about that college and that city
               reminds me of my shortcomings. I want to feel normal for a while. I want a new

               life. And I want it with you.’
                  ‘Okay. I will talk to them tomorrow. You will not have to go to that place

               again.’
                  Aranya put her arms around Raghuvir and thanked him.
