looked, too. Aranya and Dhruv slunk out of sight.
Aranya forced a smile on her face. They were out in the lawns of the electrical
department and walking towards the canteen. ‘Yes, I am. But at least I’m going

after beating your ass. Look where we started and where we are now. You came
in with all your swag, your big motorcycle, bloodied knuckles and all, and I
came in hiding behind walls and people. And now I’m going to the US, have an

insanely gorgeous boyfriend, and you’re still here moping in the dirt. Oh, by the
way, that lie about Ritika and you being together in college? I didn’t buy it for
one bit.’

‘Because I didn’t tell it convincingly.’
‘Blah.’
‘You forgot one thing though,’ said Dhruv. ‘The results of the first semester

come out this evening, and I can bet anything in the world that you’re going to
be second for the first time in your life. And that will be my comeback.’
Aranya laughed hysterically. ‘You? Dhruv? You’re going to beat me? Are you

out of your mind?’
Dhruv sat down on a bench and leaned back. He hoped she would sit next to
him. ‘No,’ he said. He pointed to the board in front of him where the results

would be displayed that evening. ‘Here. In another six hours.’
Aranya smiled and sat next to him. ‘Let’s wait, then, to see who wins.’

‘What’s at stake?’ asked Dhruv.
‘Anything,’ said Aranya and thrust her hand out.
‘Everything.’
They shook hands on it.
