Manik:- Nandini, wait. Where are you going? There's a jungle this way.

Nandini:- Stop following me.

Manik:- Nandini listen, I am sorry.

Nandini was walking very fast so he ran towards her and held her hand tightly. Nandini looked at her hand and said,

Nandini:- Seems like you need another punch.

Manik immediately left her hand and said,

Manik:- I am sorry. But kissing on the cheek isn't a bad thing.

Nandini:- Oh really?

Manik:- Come on, it was just a dare.

Manik was walking backwards while talking to her so he didn't notice a hole hidden under the dry leaves. As soon as he kept his foot there he fell into the deep hole and shouted loudly.

Nandini:- (worried) What happened?

Manik:- I think I have broken my leg.

Nandini:- Stop joking.

Manik:- I am serious.

Nandini:- Okay, but who the hell digs a hole there? Isn't it a restricted area?

Manik:- Oh you already know that it's a restricted area then why the hell did you come here?

Nandini:- It's totally my business, why did you follow me?

Manik:- Don't you know that taking care of 1st year students is our duty. What if you get lost in the forest?

Nandini:- Whatever. Now try to come up.

Manik:- Are you kidding me? Can't you see it's too deep. I can't come up.

Nandini:- Okay, stay there. I am bringing help from other students.

Manik:- What if there is a snake and it bites me?

Nandini:- To be honest you really deserve it.

Manik:- You can curse me later. For now please do something so that I can come up.

Nandini:- Okay, fine.

Nandini looked here and there. She found some creepy plants. She tied them together and made a long climber. Then she threw it in the hole and said,

Nandini:- Manik, hold the plant and climb up.

Manik did the same and being a scout leader he easily climbed up. But his leg was actually injured and he wasn't able to walk properly.

Nandini:- You can walk right?

Manik:- I think I can manage to walk to the camp.

Nandini:- Let me give you support. Keep your arm on my shoulder.

Manik:- Oh wow Ms. Murthy has some humanity too.

Nandini:- If you are going to waste my time like this then go to hell. I am going to the camp by myself.

Manik:- You are as strict as our English professor.

Nandini glared at him and he immediately put a finger on his lips. He put an arm on her shoulder and started walking when they heard a sound.

Nandini:- Isn't it a gunshot sound?

Manik:- How would I know? I never heard a gunshot sound in real life.

Nandini:- I have heard it as my uncle was an army officer. We often attended their ceremony and gunshot was a part of their ceremony.

Manik:- But it's a restricted area. Who would dare to enter this forest?

Nandini:- It can be a gang of hunters.

Manik:- You are so filmy.

Nandini:- I am serious. Sometimes hunters enter the jungle and hunt wild animals. I have studied about this jungle. There is lot's of wild animals like hippo and elephant.

Manik:- Then what should we do?

Nandini:- We can inform the forest inspector.

Manik:- What if we are wrong?

Nandini:- We should go there and confirm.

Manik:- What if we get lost in this jungle? Come on, it's not a movie where we will get lost in the jungle then spend the night together.

Nandini glared at him but this time he didn't get scared of it.

Manik:- You shouldn't glare at your seniors like this.

Nandini:- You should behave like a senior for that.

Manik:- Nandini, we should go back.

Nandini:- What if they are actually the hunters?

Manik:- That's not our headache.

Nandini:- How could you be so heartless?

Manik:- I am a practical person and for now I have to take you to the camp and that's my responsibility. Nothing else matters for me.

Nandini:- I am not going. I can't leave the animals to get hunted brutally.

Manik:- We can inform the forest inspector after reaching the camp.

Nandini:- But we are not sure about it. We should go and check if it's really a hunter gang or not.

Manik:- What if we get lost in the jungle? I can't take any risk with you.

Nandini:- I have a compass with me. We can easily find our way.

Manik:- Okay fine. Let's go.

Nandini:- Wait, we have to do something for your injury.

Nandini removed her scarf and tied it around his wound. Then she again supported him and they went towards the way they heard the gunshot sound.

On the other side

Navya was shouting continuously. They were lucky that the professor's tent was a little far from there, otherwise they would have come there by now and it would be a huge mass.

Navya:- You guys are so evil. How could you do this to my buddy?

Cabir:- Oh shut up Ms. Drama queen. It was just a dare.

Navya:- You guys never take anything seriously. What if something bad happens my buddy? Who would be responsible for that?

Cabir:- Now you are overreacting okay. Manik is with her so nothing bad is going to happen to her, I can guarantee you.

Navya:- Keep your guarantee in your pocket and leave me. I want to go and find my buddy.

Cabir:- So you won't listen to me right? Wait....

Not being able to handle her anymore, Cabir tied her hands with a chair and put a hanky in her mouth so that she couldn't shout. But he forgot that she is Navya Navily and she doesn't like to lose. She kicked on his private part and he immediately fell on the ground holding his private part crying in pain.

Cabir:- This girl is too dangerous. Manik, if I can't bring my next generation in this world you will be responsible for that.
