Prisha asked for the friendly gesture between them to which RM shared saying that they were friendly nemesis now.

Suga slightly understood the context and looked at RM who tilted his head. Prisha was clueless at his words and looked at Sanal for clarification who looked down.

"Anyone interested to share their melodious sound in this stage. Grab the mic and show your talent," the MC made the announcement, making an excited Prisha look at RM and encouraging him to sing his new song.

He refused at first but then saw how she grabbed both his hands sweetly. He side-eyed Sanal who was clenching his jaw badly.

RM then kissed her hands and nodded to her request. Sanal felt the glass pierce in his skin at the impact that broke the glass seeing the kiss.

Prisha clapped joyously seeing her favourite go up the stage to sing in his melodious voice.

Her eyes glistened at his voice and she smiled the widest to encourage him. She kept her hands below her chin and moved with the music. Suga was also vibing to the song and joined Prisha twirling her round hearing her giggles.

Sanal watched the way she was happily joining her friends in their joyous moment. He could have been that. She could have also cheered for him if it was not his arrogance and misunderstandings that clouded his head.

RM came back to his friends to get hugged by them. Prisha smiled at his performance and sat with him, totally ignoring Sanal.

Suga saw the way Sanal was sulking in his own zone. He called him out and told him to join the stage, to which Prisha touched Suga's hand shaking her head. Sanal saw her gesture making him sad. Did she think that he didn't want to join in her happy moment?

He shaked his head as a no to Suga who glared at Prisha for making that unnecessary move.

Prisha looked down and went with RM to have a conversation with one of his friends, Jackson. RM and Prisha bid their bye to Suga who saw the negligence given by the duo to a certain ex. Sanal didn't react as he knew his stand in their eyes - a sinner.

"Dude, you can't give up like this? I mean fight for her!" Suga urged him by giving some encouraging words.

Sanal scoffed saying that she had already decided whom to choose, then why should he stop her.

"Did she give up on you? If she did, then I understand. If not, then you should not give up on her," Suga made a judgement of their broken relationship and advised him. Sanal looked at the stranger exactly reciting their past events in a flash.

Yes, she had never given up on him. It was him, who had the audacity to insult her, hurt her and break her.

Prisha and RM came back to the bar, as Prisha had forgotten her phone and were about to leave bidding bye to Suga. But the other bartender showed them towards the stage where they saw a rather cheering Suga standing beside...

Prisha heard his voice after so long and tears brimmed her eyes. She looked back at him and was shocked at the song that he sang. Her heartbeat started beating fast hearing his soulful voice, making her close her eyes.

It was their song, their soul, their voice, their love. She was slowly getting pulled to him unknown to the fact that RM tried to stop her.

She felt the pain in his voice, his eyes. She wanted to see his eyes which were kept down through the entirety of the song. As, he saw her through his blurry sight, it made him ashamed and remorseful at his actions. She smiled through her tears at him and whimpered at his words, knowing the exact meaning of them. But to him, it was his failure to hurt her again.

'The charisma from the sky

And the benevolent soil down below our feet

Stand still like a temple praising your love and exemplar.

And in each tower, flamboyant with a thousand flames of light,

You flow like candle lights, firing each unlit ones on the altar

As sweet melodious verses ever praised by birds.

Still, I yearned.

But could only sing within my reticence,

As the chorus with your voice .....

Oh dear;

You are the enchantress of my poetic macrocosm

My eternal symphony.

Your incessant canticle,

Your magnificent rhythmic hymn,

To fiddle that harmonious melody,

To metamorphosis it into inexplicable reverberant tunes,

You created me as a string out of earthen pot.

And here I'm for you, for ever ......

Oh dear;

You are the enchantress of my poetic macrocosm'**

(**Meaning of the song sung by Sanal)

Sanal stopped to not let her get angry anymore. She heard his soft cry on the mic which he tried to hide with his hands. He moved out of the pub before she could come to him, scolding him for not obeying her.

RM called out Prisha who was lost in her own world. Her lips quivered and she covered her mouth remembering the pain that she had felt and forgotten over the months in his absence.

Prisha cried unknown to the tears falling from her eyes. RM hugged her trying to pacify her, by rubbing her back.

Sanal came back to the pub as he had forgotten his car keys near the stage. As he rushed back, he saw the scene of his Prisha hugging RM. It completely broke him and shattered his hope of ever getting her back. The way RM was pacifying her, made him realise that he was not that bad for his Prisha. So, he felt happy and assured for her to finally find her true love. He just smiled looking at the lovely couple and went outside the pub.

After some time, when she was ok. He asked her the reason, to which she answered truthfully.

"I still love him. I know I should not, but I do. He is my first love. He is my.... *sniff*" Hearing it RM felt bad for her. But he knew deep down, that he needs to get her out of this trauma or it will only kill her slowly.

Suga smiled at the way Sanal was able to pass the first test. Sure, Suga was RM's friend but he was also in love. He knew the worth of love in one's life. And their interaction that he saw in front of the university campus, when Sanal came to drop Prisha. Suga was confirmed of the deep love that both shared. RM was going through his phase of infatuated love that will fade away, only by seeing the love that Prisha and Sanal had for each other.

At the university dormitory,

The warden was standing in front of the gate and telling the students to occupy the first floor of the dormitory as the second floor was under intense cleaning and hygiene after the incident.

RM approached the warden who took him to the side away from the angry students. He told RM that the entire floor was infected by some unknown liquid being spilled on the floor. RM then remembered the incident that happened in front of Prisha's room before they left to the pub.

He told the warden to inform him of the progressing situations.

Lisa approached Prisha and offered to share her room. But to her luck, her cousin Jennie came to visit her from Seoul. And as per the rule of the dormitory, only three persons were allowed per room. Lisa already had Rose as her roommate, so it was a no-no situation for her.

RM was in a fix at the situation and was getting clueless. As he first thought to make her spend the night in his room, but Prisha refused him stating that she didn't want any trouble for him and his friends.

He told Prisha to contact her bodyguard and she did.

After about an hour, Tom, her bodyguard walked towards them making RM relieved. But the presence of the next person made him angry.

"Prisha, what is it? Is everything alright?" Sanal held her shoulders who explained the situation.

Sanal immediately offered to take her home.

"Sanal I can't go back to India. I have my exams, assignments. It is difficult," saying so Prisha grabbed her cold self. RM took out his jacket and placed them on her shoulders, earning a smile from her.

"Not India. I meant here. I have bought a house here, temporarily. For...um...you know," Sanal eyed Prisha making her understand the family situation. She nodded her head and smiled at him.

RM again persuaded Prisha to spend the night in his dormitory which shocked Sanal.

"No, Joonie. I can't trouble you like that. Your warden may scold you unnecessarily. And moreover, it is a boys dormitory. How can I stay there?!" Prisha was getting awkward at his request.

Sanal then voiced her thoughts "Exactly, you can't expect a girl to stay in a boys only dormitory. Prisha, you are coming with me,"

Prisha along with her friends looked at him with a slight glare at his commanding voice, scaring him.

"...Just for the night or till the situation settles," he gave her an assurance of his good nature.

After much pressure, Prisha agreed to spend the night in Sanal's house. RM grabbed Prisha's hands and spoke

"You call me, ok. For anything, any time. Alright?" He then kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly, making a certain Ex-husband pretty jealous.

"It is going to be late, till we reach my place. And you have your debut tomorrow. So?" Sanal broke their hug and explained to Prisha who nodded her head.

Sanal's Sydney house

Prisha looked at the house and wondered how her Sanal was able to manage to buy the house in such short time.

Then she suddenly remembered his millionaire status. She twisted her lips at his show of things. 

He took her bags and moved to the room on left of the hall. The university warden had managed to take the students belongings from the second floor of the dormitory. So, Prisha had some of her things to settle for the night.

He told her to move around to take a look of the house.

There were enough space between the rooms. The hall was spacious with minimal furniture and some small pots of flora and fauna, probably left by the previous tenants.

The hall was attached to an open kitchen area, making it easier for the occupant to juggle from food making to resting on the couch.

The Flat TV was a showpiece with the couch giving a view of the windows behind probably with the neighbourhoods kitchen. 

The house was small and cute, just how Prisha wanted for her married life.

She sulked down on the couch, rubbing her neck.

"Do you want some tea?" Sanal voiced behind her from the couch, startling her for a second.

Prisha nodded and was about to tell her preference

"Ginger tea, I know." Sanal smiled and went to make his love her favourite ginger tea.

Ring!

Ring!

"Yes, Joonie. We have reached. Um...I think 10 kms... I don't know. You can come and pick me from here. I will send the location. Ok...see you tomorrow. Bye," Prisha kept the phone not stopping her wide smile.
