The classes were only upto 12.00 pm and it was only for getting to know each student. Ronn was waiting to go out and find Ella .
"Isn't she pretty ? gorgeous? " Ronn kept asking Das and Das was really fed up answering to the same question over again and again. As soon as the long bell rang , He rushed outside . Das saw his book and pen was scattered and Ronn didn't even took his bag along . So it was Das's duty . Ronn ran towards the corner class , he saw Ella through the windows and he was about to propose her then , but he felt it bit awkward. So he just stood by the window and suddenly his eyes fell on one of his friends so he called out to him . Ella looked Ronn for the first time but she just turned her head as soon as she saw . Ronn and his friend made casual talks and Ronn told him a bye and left . But before leaving, he looked her once again but she gave him no notice . He didn't felt sad, "There were many children , maybe that's why she didn't notice " he told himself . But not even once he asked his heart if it loved her. He just made himself believe that he love her . By then Das came with both of their bags and said "let's go bro . There's a new cafe inaugurated today morning.The bills maybe low out there today Let's go . " Ronn nodded . They both walked downstairs .Ronn over heard the girl who was walking in front of them . She said to her friend " You know , this school was named after the owner's daughter . She passed away when she was just 10 . It's in memory of her he named this school " . The other girl looked surprised and she nodded . Then they continued talking "Did you notice the girl from our class ? She is from Banglore. Boys are after her from the moment they saw her. I didn't felt her that good .She wore a dress which revealed even her cleavage today ." The other girl nodded . She added "Ooh .That Ella , or is it Yella ? Anyway I don't feel she is from a nice family ." They both were so busy commenting Ella .
Ronn was triggered with anger .He angrily asked "Do u have any issues if she wore that dress?" The girls turned back and saw Ronn .Das was shocked with Ronn's sudden reaction. "No " .They said .They also added , "What do we have to loose ?"
"Then mind your own business ." He shouted.
"Why is this guy angry to us ?" The girls mumbled to themselves . They didn't want to make an issue there so they left . Ronn had an angry face and Das didn't wanted to ask him anything right then .

"How was your day" Ronn texted Tara . He wanted to tell her about Ella . But something within him didn't allow. Tara wasn't online .Maybe she didn't returned home from school . He told himself . He went for a bath and when he returned, Tara had replied .
"Hey , it was fun . I made new friends .Few are from Kerala . Few from Maharashtra and Few from Bangalore itself . What about you ? How's life ?"
He thought for a while. 'Should I tell her about Ella?' He thought . But didn't texted anything about her . They talked about school, teachers and rules there . Ronn told her every minute details of the day excluding Ella. Then they chatted for a while and suddenly she heard voice of Kiran from downstairs . She didn't wanted to go but chat with Ronn . However Kiran came in her room , snatched her phone and threw it to her bed and asked her to come out .Now Tara had no choice so she went down . But before going , she didn't forget to tell a bye to Ronn .
**********
Tara was in Kiran's home . Kiran was showing her their old album . She giggled looking many of the photos and Kiran annoyingly made faces. That's when Karthik's voice was heard from downstairs . "Oh *Bhayya is here " Kiran said . "He doesn't like me showing his old photos to anyone . He's gonna punch me if he came to know this . " He added . Tara looked at the Karthik's photo album . She needed to open it and see how Karthik looked like when he was younger . But they had just finished Kiran's album session and Karthik is here .They both heard footsteps and Kiran his the album under blanket . They both stood up and smiled so Karthik won't suspect anything.But their smile made Karthik suspect things ."What's going on ?" Karthik asked .
"Nothing .. heee .. " They both said with a lame smile . Karthik entered room .Both of them stood together. As soon as Karthik reached near bed , Kiran ran saying "Run .. Run Tara .. "
But Tara couldn't run as Karthik was standing right beside her . Her heartbeat increased as if she had made a mistake and caught red handed . She still made an attempt to run but Karthik grabbed her hand and she felt shocked."So this was both of you doing here sitting soooo quietly ." Karthik asked her with a serious look. His look made her get even more scared . She stammered "S .. Sorry .."
He kept that serious look for few moments more and laughed suddenly . Tara sighed surprised . "Why are you so scared ? Karthik asked. She looked at her hand suddenly he let her hand free . She sighed . "I donno .Kiran made me scared ." she replied with a smile . Karthik sighed . " That boy ... " he chuckled. Then Tara giggled too .
"So .. how was your first day at school ?"
"It was good . I made few friends . "
"Hmm .. mind for a coffee ? "
"huh ? O .. Okay "
"How about Dyu Art Cafe ?"
"My favorite " Tara smiled .
Karthik knew that . So he just smiled and said
"Come on "
"Let me call Kiran "
"No need for that . It's for just two of us ."
Tara blushed and her heart was delighted .
"He said 'Just two of us '. is that a date ?" Tara's brain asked heart . Heart said yes .Tara blushed again .
