12th January Samrat asks Gunjan if there's any problem and she denies. When he asks her to come to his house to help him study, she says ok. Diya and Annie are shocked at her "shamelessness" of helping Samrat even after knowing the truth. At his house, Samrat answers all the questions correctly but Gunjan is depressed. He gets worried and presses her with questions, but she says that she is not lying, she is not hiding anything, that is not the sort of thing she would do. She hints very, very heavily and Samrat's guilty conscience gets pricked. Samrat says that if she doesn't tell him it's like she doesn't put trust in her friends... he goes on to stay other stuff like this that Gunjan knows he is guilty of with the bet, cheating, etc... He makes her promise to tell him whatever is bothering her after the exams. Uday decorates his body with notes, Ghajini style, and tries to use this during the test (last exam!). Meanwhile Samrat is still worried and tells Gunjan that he also has something to tell her, but they can discuss that all during a dinner date. Ms. Aha gives them a three hour exam. After Shukla's exam, Nupur goes brings a coconut from her bag and breaks it on the ground in front of her Ganesh murthi, shouting Ganapathi Bappa Maurya really really loudly. The entire class stares at her... lolzzz After Ms. Aha's exam, Samrat is about to go talk to Gunjan when Diya stops him and asks if they can go to the canteen together. He actually pushes her away gently and goes after Gunjan, but cannot find her anywhere. She is hiding behind a wall so he doesn't see her. He wonders aloud where she is and what's bothering her, and Gunjan listens. 13th January Gunjan listens to Samrat and slips away so he can't see her. The two go their separate ways. Meanwhile, Deodhar has called Nupur to his office. She goes, only to find that Mayank is also there. The two fight quite a bit. In the canteen, Dia announces that she will be hosting this year's New Year's party. The gang is very excited. Samrat arrives at the canteen and they invite him to join them, but he brushes it off saying he is looking for Gunjan. Diya teases him saying that as Gunjan is her cousin, she is worried about him caring so much about her. He replies saying that Gunjan may be HER cousin, but she is HIS friend. As Samrat is about to leave, Annie and Chako pass comments about Gunjan... and Samrat hears them! He is very very very very angry and tells them to never say things like that about his friends as he cares a lot about his friends. Diya brushes it off saying that Annie and Chako are just like that, but she later scolds them for talking like that when Samrat was near. Deodhar informs Mayank and Nupur that they both have been selected to be Excel's team for the Intercollegiate Academic Meet. Mayank protests saying that Deodhar promised that whoever comes first can choose their partner. The two argue that they can never work together, the other is not fit for representing the college, etc... Deodhar tells the two that the decision is final and they must compete. He also adds that Mayank came first, and Nupur came second by two marks. Mayank feels very triumphant at this and decides that he will find a partner better than Nupur. It's decided that if Nupur can beat his partner, then Nupur will go to the meet as Mayank's partner. Deodhar congratulates Nupur on her progress and how he never expected her to do so good. Mayank and Nupur are in a very competitive mode. Samrat finds Gunjan and gives her flowers, asking her to come for their dinner date so she can tell him what's wrong. She makes excuses and says she has to go, but Samrat says that she had promised him. She tries to leave, Samrat grabs her hand. He jokes about how he has never had to request a girl like this for a date and how he has to keep his image. Gunjan gets mad and drops his flowers. She goes on to tell him angrily how she has always helped him keep up his image with the talent parade, studying, exams, cheating affair, and how it's because of her that his image is safe. She goes on to say that now the exams are over, but Samrat interjects saying that just because their exams are over doesn't mean their friendship is over. Gunjan asks him when their friendship ever really started? She explains that he helped her in the talent parade and overcoming her fears just for a bet. Samrat is SHOCKED- he remembers Diya's warning words about how he will lose the bet. He also remembers how he and Benji talked about how he really ought to tell Gunjan the truth. Gunjan says it was all just a bet, but still he helped her... and that's why in exchange she helped him with the exams. He helped her, she helped him, there never was any friendship. In shock, Samrat remembers when they first made friends and when he gave her flowers just now. Crying, Gunjan tells him that he doesn't need her anymore... and after crying more and taking a deep breath, she tells him that she doesn't need him anymore either. Images of Gunjan dropping his flowers and leaving his handshake cross his mind. Gunjan leaves in a rush and Samrat helplessly watches her leave.
