"You know what guys....I have a secret to tell you!!!" Darshan said nervously. "Of course dude, tell!!" all of them replied in chorus. "Actually, I guess I like Ria" he replied, biting his lower lip, out of nervousness. "Wow!! That's great Darshan, I am so excited. So tell me have you confessed yet or are you looking for possibilities if she likes you or not??" said Kayna in an excited tone. "I haven't confessed yet Dumbo. You people are the first lot to know about it. I don't know if she likes me or not and that is why I need your help people to fix things between us." He said. "Of course, we will help you and why not you are our friend and it's our responsibility to help you," said Rohan, with a sigh of relief. "Why that??" asked Kayna. "Arrey, I will tell you later," replied Rohan in a whisper so that only Kayna could hear.

The next period was English and Kayna insisted Rohan to sit with her. He did sit with her and then she began her questionnaire............

"Yeah, why did you sigh when Darshan told me that he likes someone?" asked Kayna. "Because if he ever dared to say that he likes you.....I.....I will kill him" answered Rohan. "But why?" she questioned back. "Well because I know that you love me a lot and I am just like your brother and being your brother I would never like to get my love distributed amongst people. U know?" he replied, winking at her. "Yes, I do know and you also know, right? that I don't believe in love and all that crap. I just love you and my parents. That's it!!" Kayna replied. Rohan remained silent which marked that he had understood.

The class got over and it was Lunch break, which meant that it was time for Kayna to roam around. But ever since she had met Darshan and Kritika, she had stopped roaming in the corridor and instead preferred to sit together with the others and talk on various topics. She had never done this with Rohan as they just had each other and knowing each other inside out made their conversations boring.

They were taking their lunch boxes out when all of a sudden, Darshan asked Kayna, "What is your take on love Kayna?" "Well, I hate the thought of love. For me, love has a completely different meaning. For me, love is when the person adores the other person and is adamant to leave everything behind. It is when the person is sure that the other person, whom they love, is the only person in their lives and loves the person to eternity. Like I love Rohan and I can leave everything behind for him as he has a special place in my heart. He has always been there for me in my entire life and has smartly handled all the mood swings of a crazy sister. I hate love because it leads to heartbreak. No matter where you are, you are bound to be heartbroken knowingly or unknowingly it doesn't matter. That is the only drawback of love but this drawback sums up all the other drawbacks. Who would want a heartbreak, their heart all shattered, at least I am not that brave to stand up to heartbreak. This is why I hate love!!" said Kayna.

"Well, I had never thought of this side of love. It is true that it breaks our heart but love is the purest form of God. Being in love is the best feeling anyone would like to encounter. It is like heaven on Earth. It does lead to heartbreak but fear is what we need to give up Kayna. We need to become strong and anyways, I think someone told me that we should try everything in our lives." Said Darshan trying to tease Kayna.
