Hera had to move to new home, and surprise was just sinking in, but he was not ready, not ready to discuss his non existent love life, and if his parents had taken the scene in as he thought they had, even sex life was on the cards. And with no love life, there was not going to be any sex life, not with Hera's pocket money. Hera was just looking for an excuse to not stay where he was supposed to, just for few more days. 

There was a story Hera had heard:

2 prisoners were put in front of the king, both were awarded death sentences, one accepted the fact, and was to be executed next day. Second just blurted out, in one year he can teach a horse to fly, and king gave him one year to prove that. The first prisoner just asked him, why are you procrastinating, and making your days miserable.

He said: "I am just buying time, who knows what will happen in 1 year, may be I will die after one year, may be there will be a battle and king might lose/die, & may be horse will learn to fly, who knows, as long as I have time, I have hope."

And right now Hera was following the second prisoners rule, either his parents would forget, either Monsoon would really fall in love with him, or may be he would be dead! Which in his own eyes seemed to have a low probability, very very low probability.

Hera still thought of one way of getting out of moving everything to new home, and wanted some reason to stay back for few days, just few days. And Monk just helped him to create an opening.

Monk: Thinking of breaking the silence "So Hera now you would not be studying with us this time!"

Hera: "Why not! I cant imagine not studying with you people, if I stay at home and study, the phone bill is going to be heavy, plus it would be difficult to match my timings with you all, for solving our doubts."

Monk: "Wh.....oh! Okay! Yes, I can not imagine how your pocket money is going to cover that." And he got an angry look from Monsoon, for she understood Hera was not looking for a raise, but time away from Home.

Monsoon: "Yes, It would be difficult to study alone, as since coming here you have been studying in a group with Duds, Monk, and others." Emphasizing Duds name.

Hera: "I think I will come to your room for studies, for exams, and continue to live with you for time being. That is roughly one month."

Duds: "Yes! You can shift everything today except for clothes, bed and books. And after exams get over you can move the rest of the things."

And Hera's father realized, what they wanted and agreed, however, there is no need to shift to Monk's place for the landlord has not agreed to pay back next months rent.

So Hera had finally got his time so that permutations & combinations of his life work themselves out, till then Hera had decided to just sit and study and watch life unfold, but that's not how god had thought of timings.
