Amidst the bustling college courtyard, Avyaan and his friends weaved through the throngs of students, their voices blending into the lively atmosphere.
"Should we go for kareoke afterwards?" Rohan, one of his friend spoke while everyone else agreed but Avyaan was lost in his phone searching for perfect birthday gift for his little Sister Aria whose birthday was next week. While Suddenly, a collision sent Avyaan stumbling forward, his heart racing as he realised he had bumped into someone.

Books scattered at their feet leaving a thud sound making him and his friends snap back into reality, Avyaan's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he quickly bent down to help gather the fallen items.While His friends watched nervously from a distance, but Avyaan's focus was solely on the person before him.

"I am Sorry, I didn't see you there" he apologised earnestly, his eyes meeting the mysterious figure as he offered assistance.

Tanya Arora, their senior,Who was the reason for his friend's nervousness, remained silent, her unreadable expression adding to the intrigue that surrounded her. Despite the lack of response, he persisted, his determination evident as he continued to assist her.

Once the books were gathered, She stood up, her silence speaking volumes as she prepared to leave. His heart raced as he called out to her, unable to let her slip away without offering further help.

"Wait," he urged, his voice laced with urgency as he reached out to stop her. "Let me atleast help you carry your books to your next class" He said, while she stared deep into his soul making him even more nervous than before.
"Please" He added as if he was scared of her, making his eyes turn into doe.

Reluctantly, Tanya acquiesced, and together they navigated through the courtyard, their silence pregnant with unspoken questions and hidden emotions, He was scared to ulter a word, as if he did, he would be recieving sild punches on his face, while She walked a little ahead of him making him run like a baby to match her pace.

Arriving at Tanya's class, Avyaan handed over the books with a warm smile trying to calm the situation between them, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer as if she was a piece of art he wanted to share at forever, before she disappeared into the classroom.

"Take care" he murmured softly, his heart heavy with the weight of their brief encounter as he watched her depart.

Throughout the day, he found himself unable to shake the memory of their meeting, his thoughts consumed by the enigmatic Tanya Arora.

'She looked liked as if she was a living corpse, who had no emotions to show. What is she actually?
Weird that I find her unusual behaviour attractive, not gonna lie though that she was attractive, just like a goddess.'
He shaked his head,placing soft slaps on his cheeks to make him come back to reality.
'Pagal ho gya hu mai, pata nhi kya kya soche ja raha'
(I have gone mad, Don't know what the heck I am even thinking)

As night fell, he drifted into restless sleep, her image lingering in his dreams, a tantalising promise of what the future might hold.
