It was morning. A kind of orange sun came through the Thai glass of the balcony and made the room sparkle. Shan's room was already filled with orange bedsheets, curtains and carpets. As soon as he woke up, his mood was spoiled. He forgot to draw the curtains of the window last night—such a beautiful sleep was ruined

In anger, he threw the flower pot at the glass. The glass didn't break, only the pot was shattered. When he saw his face in the bathroom mirror, the red mark on his cheek reminded him—Anna

Suddenly, a devilish smile appeared. Today she will be judged, Shan thought to himself

Leaving breakfast on the dining table, Bua left, but Shan's morning was different today. He reached the university at high speed on his bike

His classmate ordered Tamal—Go to the first year and tell Anna, Shan Bhai is calling

Tamal went to class and found Anna. Anna recognized Shan outside the window—it was that boy

She said bluntly, I won’t go. I have nothing to do with this naughty boy

The room started buzzing. No one could believe it—Anna had slapped Shan’s brother. Tamal got angry and dragged Anna in front of Shan

I won’t forgive you even if you hold my leg—Shan said in a cold voice

Anna slapped Shan again on the cheek

Everyone was shocked. Anna said, I’ll go and tell Sir. How dare you?

Shan forcibly took her to the principal’s room. The two exchanged heated words, Shan said—This girl slapped me yesterday, and she hit me again today

Anna said, Because you were teasing a girl yesterday, I saw it myself

Sir said, Shan can never do such a thing

Anna ran and brought the girl. But the girl said, No, Shan Bhai saved me, Rifat teased me

The story took a turn. Rifat was caught. Shan was proven innocent

Sir said, Anna, you will apologize to Shan

Anna said very ashamed, I am sorry

Everyone looked at Anna. The girl who had slapped Shant Bhai one day, is now admitting her mistake

Back in class, everyone started avoiding her. Rupa said, If you had kissed her instead of slapping her, everyone would have hugged you

Anna turned her face angrily, Very funny! Should I kiss that rude guy?

Rupa smiled and said, Your anger will one day turn into love

Suddenly, a serious voice came from behind—

Anna looked back in surprise standing still
