            Hera only had spoken to her few minutes back, but was missing her now like as if was always in love with her. It was practical exams and there was not going to be any set duration of wait. Hence, it was going to be long time before she would come back. Sensing Hera's thoughts Monc decided to stay back. And others made a big drama of leaving and hide in the building overlooking the garden.  

            They were watching through the small design gaps in corridor, and whispering as less as possible. Sign language was in use on full scale. Never have 6 grown adults remained on all fours longer of there own will. Being made fun off, and when people laughed at them, all they did was a finger on lips, big eyes and no ssshhhhh...... They were, the 4 guys - Smoky, Rocky, Vin, Taklya(bald) and the two girls were Vee and Duds. 

            Taklya was not used to exercise, and staying still on all fours was one of it, hence got a cramp in one of legs. Would have started wailing like a fool, had smoky not got a hand in instead over his mouth. But that was not what really stopped Taklya, Vin jumped on him from other side and accidentally got hold of cramping leg. The signs that Taklya followed up with, only Vin understood, the two girls were dumb struck and when Vin started massaging the thigh, they looked at them with evident disdain and suspicion.

           All Vin could do at that time was deny the unsaid allegation as clearly as possible and had to be hold off by another hand on mouth, this time it was Rocky's hand that got the bite mark, this time they were deliberately made. In end all four guys ended up injured in one way or another, 3 physically and Vin's ego.

          At that time a girl made with boyish walk, green jacket and a blue bag made her way to garden, towards Hera and Monc who were doing all the things in world but study. Her name was Wari, was sort of warrior and yes tom boy, but was not that tall though, and was made fun of her by other girls for that.

         Wari dropped her back next to Hera and questioned why only two of the gang were here, where rest are . She too had her exam and as always, had not gone so well. She was a rotten apple in her teacher's eye. But she took it lightly and never gave second thought to her language, and hence others were bit afraid of her. 

        But not Hera and neither Monc, she was like third buddy to them.  And so Hera did not waste any time and asked about the junior girl, she was junior to Wari too, and knew her. Wari, replied a little to frankly for Hera's taste, coming direct to point,

                      Wari: "She left."

                      Monc: "ssshhhhhh......Oh, shit." And made certain eye formation.

                      Wari: "Oh...Okay." And reciprocated the certain eye formation.

                      Hera: "Oh, lets go. When did she go?"

                      Wari: "She had a reservation, and was getting late, she literally ran out of examination hall, so asked around. Even external examiner had a big laugh on her."

                      Hera did not have anything to say, and started walking, all others joined in, Taklya not able to walk, and Rocky asked for lift from Hera to doctor's place, so that he can get Anti-rabies injections. Everyone laughed, except for Vin and Rocky, Rocky seemed serious about doctor. 

                     They all ended up in Laxmi, after an end to long evening, nothing like cold coffee to relax. But someone was following Hera, a rough guy.
