Completing practical write ups and after putting medicine on the hand , Radhika and Madhav came back to the class .

It was the time of lunch break as soon as Madhav and Radhika entered, Revati ran to Radhika held her hand softly and with concerned look asked ," Are you okay now?"

Radhika comforting her bestie ," Yeah Revu , from the very first I was okay but your Madhav seemed to be more afraid of the burst!"as she giggled.

Madhav raising his eyebrow , " Is that so , I am too protective right ? You can well handle yourself with that burst of test tube?! "

"Of course , I stepped back , protecting myself!"proudly answered Radhika .

"Yeah and stood only in shock for minutes until I came and took your hands under cold water to reduce the burning sensation!" sarcastically added Madhav.

Baladev interrupted ," Again you two started! What had happened it was past, it's good that Radhika didn't get much harmed!"

Revati nodded," That's true, let me feed you , your lunch!"

Radhika, " Only my left hand has little burning sensation, I can eat with my right hand!"

Revati still with worry look, " Are you sure?"

Radhika confirming ," Yes! "

Baladev proposed, "Let us eat now!"

Madhav surrounding his one arm around Baladev teasingly, " Ballu! What's in your tiffin today? You are so in hurry to eat?"

Baladev with sigh , " Your favorite paratha and paneer butter masala!"

Madhav grinning," And you will eat all ... all... alone right?"

" Who told? I will share it with you !! But the break time is going so I am in hurry , we have to finish lunch in time na?"said Baladev with sarcasm meanwhile Revati was trying to controll her laugh!

" True !! Why wait for good work!!"

And the four settled to eat their lunches! Gossiping, teasing and little fights brought glory to their lunch break as usual until the new girl came , Chandravali!

Chandravali was sitting alone having her lunch , when she saw Madhav was having his lunch enjoying and gossiping , she thought to go to him and she did , saying , " Hey Madhav!"

All other three turned to look at her while Madhav completed swallowing his food replied,
"Hey Chandravali! Are you sitting alone?"

Chandravali looked down and with low voice answered, " Yeah!"

" You can join us! What do you think?

Oh wait first let me introduce her , she is Chandravali Verma, new to this school , we just met today at Chemistry lab!"

Revati felt an awkwardness as it was first time Madhav introducing someone by himself and infront of Radhika . Thinking this her glance moved to Radhika and suddenly her awkward feeling turned into a burning feeling , it was coming from aura of Radhika who moved her eyesight from Chandravali to her food.
Looking down she was having her lunch silently uttering no words.

At the sametime Baladev said , " Nice to meet you Chandravali! Yeah sure you can join!"

But there were no place to sit as bags kept in lower benches with Radhika and Revati sitting there
during Madhav and Baladev were sitting on higher benches.
Since all of them brought lunches from home they didn't went to canteen that day!

"Uhh lower bench is filled up you can sit on the higher bench with us", offered Madhav.

"But ! Isn't it too high ?" Chandravali hesitated.

"Arreh it's not ! Wait!" , Madhav kept his lunch box by side , held Chandravali's lunch box by his left hand and her hand with his right hand pulling her up by his side . "You okay ? Comfortable?"asked Madhav handing back her lunch box .

"Yup, thank you!"replied Chandravali with shyness!

"Mentioned not!"said Madhav, " What happened Revu ? Radha? You two became silent?"

Revati who was looking towards Radhika only for becoming too silent all of a sudden , got disturbed with question of Madhav , " Huh? No nothing just thinking something , never mind , Nice to meet you Chandravali!"

Chandravali with a cute smile replied, " Nice to meet you too Revati! And Radha , are you okay now? Your left hand having bandage!"

Radhika got up from her seat said with smile ," My left hand got little burnt! Thank you for doing my last experiment by the way you can sit in the lower bench now ! I am going to wash my hands as I am done with my lunch!"

"Thanks but I am comfortable here now!" replied Chandravali.

Radha kept her calm yet furious eye on Madhav ," Are you sure , Chandravali?"

"Yep!" said Chandravali.

"Nice ! I am going to wash my hands!"and Radhika left !

Baladev understanding something was off , he looked at Revati and the same time Revati looked at Baladev exchanging their glances asking each other,
"Is she jealous? But why??! Because of Chandravali?!"

Then Baladev asked an unexpected question to Madhav, "Madhu what actually happened
in chemistry class ?"

Madhav narrated the whole story and Chandravali also nodded her head confirming his words!

When Baladev and Revati came to know the whole story their eyes widened looking at each other as their doubt was right !

Madhav noticed their exchange of glances and asked," What happened?"

Baladev, " Uhh nothing! Will say you later!"

Madhav eating his last bite of food, " May be I know!"

Baladev's and Revati's faces turned shock as Revati asked ,
" You know? What do you know?"

Madhav smirked," Will say you later! Chandra have you finished lunch?"

Chandravali too took her last bite of food , " Yeah!"

"Let's wash our hands , will you come?"asked Madhav!

"Sure !"replied Chandravali and they both went outside the classroom to wash their hands . As they were heading, Radhika was coming back and she saw them together ,saying nothing neither giving a smile she came back to class with calm face .

Baladev and Revati was looking at her calm face while she slammed her tiffin box on the higher bench where Madhav and Chandravali sitting saying ," Now the lunch box got locked." And put her lunch box inside her bag .

Baladev was too shock to say anything so Revati asked in trembling voice, " Radhika are you angry with any word?"

"No I am not!", in her coldest voice of Radhika , she replied .
