"Finally ...What made you come early today?Is there any girl waiting ? "
Das mockingly dashed Ronn's head.Ronn made an angry face and said "Oh! so u don't want to talk to Gauri today?Then come , let's go back .and enter late for exam .What say? "
"Oh! dear , you took it so seriously? I know you don't like any girls of our school.You need Cleopatra model girls right?" Das said in Resentment. Ronn grinned. They took the bus today . "So what were you both talking last day?" Ronn paid for the ticket and asked.
"Nothing much,usual talks .Don't you think she turned more pretty than last year ?"Das asked proudly. Ronn stared at Das's face for a moment or two and laughed.
"What? You don't think so? It's okay then.Anyway I think so.she turned more pretty and her eyes are more dazzling than ever with that black kajal.Her long hair is making me go nuts man ..Oh hello .. who am I talking to? You are an unromantic fellow." Das complained.Ronn put his hands on Das's shoulder and looked out through the window. They saw many students studying alone , few discussing in groups and few revising .Ronn was just an easy going person .He hummed a song and smiled to himself.

"How can you be so mean Raghu? I just asked you one 'Blue Pen' .. You have three pen in your pouch and you can't give one single pen to your neighbour? what shame" Ronn was arguing with Raghu for a pen as he forgot his pen at home ."It's language exam today.I need 2 full inked pen , and the third one doesn't have even a quarter ink in it ."Raghu said .
"Then that pen is enough for me, why are you so cruel man?" Ronn's face was getting reddish each moment. Tara entered the hall hearing their fight .Raghu wasn't lending him pen and Ronn wasn't asking anyone else . Tara smiled to herself and took one of her pen and lend it to Ronn "Here , take my pen .leave that poor fellow .He atleast helps you with your answers " Tara said with a constant smile on her face.
"Ah! here comes my Angel with a pen " Ronn said with a relief and he actually meant it because her white cheeks were getting a reddish touch and she was panting after climbing the stairs .She looked like an angel without wings .Ronn couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment . Her cheeks were little chubby when she smiled .He loved it. She then opened a book and started studying.
"You don't talk to people?" Ronn turned to her side and asked.
"Nothing like that . I am little silent .That's all."
Tara replied with a smile .Ronn smiled to himself and turned back and started studying too.

"How was your exam ? Ronn overheard Gauri speaking to Tara .He went to return back her pen which already lost its shape because Ronn was bored in exam hall and was playing with her pen .".....Have you seen Geeta? She might be in your class I guess." Tara asked Gauri ."Yeah She was busy writing till the last moment .You both are made for each other besties." Gauri laughed and said .Tara smiled and left in search of Geeta. Ronn followed Tara .When Tara entered Geeta's exam hall,she found that Geeta already left and classroom was empty .Ronn rushed there and Tara was frightened for a moment.Her eyes were fixed to him in shock .Ronn smiled and extended his hands and she saw her pen .She sighed ."Thank you Angel " he smiled . She blushed . "My name is Tara". she replied.
"I know. But you are a life saver . so you are an angel" Ronn smiled and turned back to return. Tara and Ronn climbed down the stairs together .They talked about Exams , teachers and friends within than short time .It was like they knew each other for years .Both waved a 'bye' when they were about to leave . Tara turned and looked but Ronn had already vanished in search for Das . But when she reached a distance Ronn watched her going from a far place ,standing near Das and Gauri.
