Lecturer come to the class, and he is explaining the lesson, everybody is concentrating on his words, among them keeping their faces like a scientist as they understand everything, few are time to time looking at their watches when the lecturer will leave the class.
Mini didn't understand something, he asked the question to the lecturer.
Lecturer says " let me complete the lesson, after that you can ask the doubt, you have to know when you have to when you should ask, without knowing a simple thing, how you come to the class and this college.
She felt a little bad, few took it as a joke and laughed.
She kept quiet, without uttering single word just listening to the class.
Her mood is not good, just keep on listening to the class, many doubts are raising one after another class, she didn't get guts to ask the question again.
Manu is noticed.

Sohana asked making fun of her let's go canteen.
No, Sohana I don't want.
Why you still have doubts to ask, she said for fun and kidding her,sohana intentions are not making fun of her but still, it hurts. Somewhere the fun tries to kill the conference.
Sohana went to the canteen.
Everybody is playing here and there. Manu pulled her chair back and made her turn toward him.
Tears are escaped from her eyes.
You won't look good with these tears.
She whispered, "I don't want to look good".
She took the book about to go, he held the same book which she is holding to stop her.
