Music Class:
One evening—
during dance practice…
Vivan noticed something was off.
"Sapna… you've seemed a little distracted lately.
What's going on?"
Sapna avoided his gaze.
"Nothing, sir…
just a little stress…
studies… and other things."
Before she could say anything more—
her vision blurred.
Her body swayed—
and she collapsed.
But before she could hit the ground—
Vivan caught her.
"SAPNA!"
Without wasting a second, he lifted her and rushed straight to the medical room.
After a quick checkup, the doctor sighed.
"She hasn't been eating properly for the past few days.
It's weakness… that's why she fainted."
Vivan's expression hardened—concern clearly visible in his eyes.
A few minutes later…
Sapna slowly opened her eyes.
"Sorry, sir…
I caused you trouble…"
she said weakly.
Vivan frowned, his voice firm—but not harsh.
"Are you out of your mind?
Has anyone ever won a battle
by hurting themselves?"
He looked straight into her eyes.
"Tell me honestly—
why haven't you been eating?"
Sapna hesitated… then finally spoke.
"Sir… I've registered for a dance competition.
But I don't have a partner…
and on top of that, there's pressure from studies too."
"I don't know what to do…"
For a moment, there was silence.
Then Vivan spoke—calmly, but with certainty.
"Your studies… you'll handle them."
He paused.
"But if you want…
I can be your dance partner."
"We'll win this. Together."
Sapna's eyes widened in disbelief… then filled with happiness.
"Really?!
Thank you so much, sir!
You'll actually dance with me?"
Vivan smiled.
"Of course."
Then he raised a finger slightly.
"But on one condition…"
He continued,
"Practice matters. Studies matter.
But your health comes first."
His tone softened.
"If something had happened to you…
what would I have done?"
He paused… then quickly added,
"I mean—what would have happened to our competition?"
Sapna didn't reply.
But a small, warm smile appeared on her face.
Vivan took out a chocolate from his bag and handed it to her.
"Eat this."
Then, in a slightly commanding tone—
"From tomorrow,
you'll have lunch with me."
"This isn't a request…
it's an order."
Sapna nodded softly.
And in that moment—
something new quietly began.
College Library:
At the same time—
in the silent corners of the library—
Rocky sat, completely absorbed in his books.
Just then—
Ishika walked in.
Her eyes were swollen…
clearly from crying.
She looked hesitant.
"Sir…
can I sit here?" she asked softly.
Rocky didn't even look up.
"This is a library, Ishika.
You don't need permission to sit—
you need the intention to study."
"Sit."
Ishika sat down—
and broke down.
"Sir… you were right.
Gaurav left that girl too."
"I was the fool…
I couldn't understand what you were trying to say."
Rocky turned a page calmly.
"And what will crying change now?"
Ishika stayed silent.
"Go," Rocky said.
"File a complaint with the Principal."
Ishika's eyes widened in panic.
"Are you serious?!
The Principal is very strict—
if he finds out I was involved with someone…"
"He'll expel me before Gaurav!"
"My life will be ruined…"
This time—
Rocky looked at her.
"Relax."
His tone softened slightly.
"Then don't file a complaint."
"But from today—
stay away from people like him."
"Don't trust blindly."
"Understand a person first…
then build a connection."
Ishika slowly nodded.
"Okay, sir… I promise."
She hesitated again.
"Sir… I need one more help."
"Will you teach me?"
"I'm weak in Maths…
and I don't want to fail."
A faint smile appeared on Rocky's face.
"Alright."
"Stop crying. Take out your book."
"From today—
we study together."
He leaned slightly forward and added—
"Remember one thing…"
"Whether it's Maths…
or life…"
"Every problem has a solution."
"You just need the right approach to find it."
What do you think will happen next?
Will Sapna and Vivan win the competition?
Will Ishika truly move on from her past?
