After having a wonderful day, Neharika was in her room laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling and was in her deep thoughts.
The room was full of silence.
Neharika was trying to sleep, but her thoughts weren't letting her.......Her eyelids, a fragile veil, couldn't shut out the vision of him, his face etched in her mind like a moonlit shadow on a midnight lake.
A smile crept on her face whenever she thought about the things that happened today.
She was trying to ignore this new feeling but couldn't.
Just when she was lost in 1er thought her phone started ringing.
She saw the name "Gadhiiii" [Vanshika]
She immediately answered the call and then
"Nehuuuuuuu, he proposed meeeeeee," said vanshika, squealing.
Neharika eyes widened, and she said, smiling. "Wait.....for marriage or relationship?"
Vanshika replied, "Ofc yaar relationship shaadi ki umar nahi hai humari aur kal parso tak hum officially sabko batayenge."
After that, they were talking to each other and sharing the things that happened after them, leaving the theme park
And vanshika was teasing Neharika about the beach thingy ✨️
Neharika was blushing but denied the fact that she had actually enjoyed it.
They both talked for a nice 1 hr
and then Neharika again was lying on the bed trying to sleep.
Suddenly, she got up and went towards the balcony.
Standing there, she felt the coldbreeze ok her body, and she took a deep breath, feeling the wind, and then she opened her eyes and saw the twinkling stars. She smiled when she saw the moon....it was half moon, but it still looked pretty.
Even tho there are some spots, it still looked mesmerizing.
She crossed her arm and whispered, "What has he done to me?" She was feeling her body getting cold but still she was enjoying it, the buildings infront her balcony were shining with dim lights and that gave the atmosphere more peaceful type look.
She sat on the chair beside her, and after a few minutes, she fell asleep while gazing at the stars.
Next morning
The sun rays were falling on her beautiful baby like face, her silky and curly hair falling on her shoulder, making her look like a princess.
Her mother came into her room and saw her sleeping on the balcony. She frowned, getting concerned
"Bittuu uth beta yaha kyu so rahi hai? (Baby, wake up, why are you sleeping here?)"
She said, gently stroking her hair.
"Maa sone do na plz bhot nind aarhi hai (Maa let me sleep na plz)" she said and then kept her head on her mother's shoulder.
Her mother smiled and said "Mera baccha sona hai to bed pe soja na ek din chutti lele chalega but yaha mat so beta (My love if u wanna sleep more, then sleep on bed why are you sleeping here?)" She said and then tried to wake her up. Neharika got up from the chair and stretched her body, and then said whining "Maa kya aaj chutti lelu? Plzzzzzz meri tabyat thik nahi lag rhi (Maa I am not feeling well, can I take a leave for one day? Plzzzz)" she said, hugging her mother, and her mother chuckled."Accha baba lele bas ek baar aakr nashta karle," she said and left the room.
Neharika just huffed and stomped her feet, she took out her clothes from the cupboard and goes in the washroom after few minutes she came out and wore a tshirt and a leggings and made a bun, after applying moisturizer she left her room singing humming and singing a song.
Her melodious voice was heard in the whole house, she goes towards the mandir and joined her hands, praying and then continued singing.
She made her way where Anurag bhaiya, her father,her mother, and.........
She came there and stood still in shock when she saw him......
She squealed in happiness and ran towards him. That person also got up from his chair when he saw her.
Neharika jumped on, hugging him tightly.
"Armaan tu kab aaya New York se? (Armaan, when did u come back from New York?)"
Armaan, who was smiling while holding her in his arms and said, "kal hi aaya, socha aaj tujhe surprise kardu (I came back yesterday only, so I thought to surprise you)"
Neharika smiled at him and then got away from him when Neharika's father, Harivansh fake coughed and said "Neharika come on beta get seated we have to eat breakfast " Neharika nodded and sat beside Her dad.
They all started eating their breakfast while Neharika and Armaan were talking to each other and giggling.
[Okay guys let me introduce this new guy.....

So he is ~Armaan Saxena~
His age is 18, 6'0 tall, strong, and can kill anyone for Neharika. Secretly has a crush on her.....possessive and obsessed with neharika but is good at hiding it. He has a great family relationship with Neharika's family.
He is Neharika's childhood best friend. They were always together, they were in the same school. So let me get to the point. He is the second male lead 👀🦋]
Neharika was smiling and giggling, and Armaan was sharing everything about his life as he was in New York for at least 6 years. He shifted to New York when they were in grade 5th - 6th something.
Even Neharika's mother was smiling, looking at her daughter.
As they were chit chatting, Neharika got to know that Armaan had taken his admission to her college. She was shocked and replied, "Main bhi ussi college mein hu!!! (I am in that college too!!!!)" Neharika said, being shocked
"Wait, so let's go to college together?" Armaan asked, but Neharika turned her gaze down and said,"But I wanted to stay home today. "
Armaan smiled looking at her pout and then Said "Accha rajkumari ji aaj mat jaayiye college, mera jana zruri hai kyuki maine mera phla din bhi miss kardiya tha (okay princess u can stay home but I have to go to college coz I have already missed my first day)" he said getting up from his chair but Neharika immediately stopped him and said "15 min wait kar jaldi se ready hoke aati hu bhai car se chod denge hume (Wait here for 15 mins, I will go get ready. Bhaiya will drop us)" she said and ran upstairs in her room.
Neharika looked stunning in a dark blue kurti paired with jeans, her elegance elevated by a jhumka, a sleek watch, and delicate rings, while her half-tied hair, defined lashes, and subtle lip gloss added a touch of sophistication.
She saw herself in a mirror and gave her mirrorself a flying kiss and left the room with her bag.
As she descended the stairs, the soft tinkle of her jhumka echoed through the air, a subtle serenade that accompanied her every step.
As Neharika descended the stairs, Armaan's gaze locked onto hers, his eyes widening in admiration. He stared, mesmerized, before breaking into a warm smile. "You look stunning, Neha," he said, his voice sincere. Neharika chuckled, assuming he was teasing, and she slightly hit him.
After a brief moment, they bid farewell to the family and headed out. Neharika's brother dropped them off at college, and as they stepped out of the car, Armaan turned to her. "I'll see you around, okay?" he said, smiling. Neharika nodded, smiling back, before they parted ways, each heading to their respective classrooms.
Time skip
To the bustling college canteen, where Anurag, Veer, and Vedansh were engrossed in a heated conversation, laughing and joking around. Coincidentally, Neharika, Vanshika, and Armaan walked in, joining the lively atmosphere. The canteen's chatter and clinking utensils filled the air as they waited in line to order their snacks.
Neharika's radiant beauty caught Veer's attention, and he was momentarily lost in her gaze. Her dark blue kurti perfectly complemented her bright smile, making her stand out in the crowded canteen. However, his eyes soon drifted to Armaan, who was also admiring Neharika as she chatted with Vanshika and him. A flicker of surprise crossed Veer's face, his eyes narrowing slightly as he observed the undeniable connection between Neharika and Armaan.
Armaan's gaze lingered on Neharika's face, his eyes crinkling at the corners as she laughed at something Vanshika said. Neharika, oblivious to the attention, continued chatting with her friends, her animated expressions and gestures captivating everyone around her.
Veer's eyes darted back and forth between Neharika and Armaan, his mind racing with questions. What was going on between them? Had something changed while he wasn't paying attention?
After collecting their food, Neharika, Vanshika, and Armaan began searching for an empty table. Just then, Veer called out to them, waving his hand to join Anurag, Vedansh, and him. The trio made their way over, and as they sat down, Veer and Armaan couldn't help but sneak glances at Neharika.
Both Veer and Armaan were admiring her, each lost in their own thoughts. Unbeknownst to them, they were both wondering, "Who is this other guy staring at her?" Their eyes met, and for a brief moment, they exchanged an unknowing stare - or rather, a subtle, territorial "death stare."
Neharika, oblivious to the undercurrents, continued eating and chatting with her brother, Anurag, and their friends. The atmosphere was lively, with everyone engaged in conversation.
Just then, Vanshika dropped a bombshell: "Guys, I have something to tell you... Vedansh and I have been secretly dating for a month now!" The group fell silent, shocked but thrilled by the revelation. As it turned out, Vanshika and Vedansh had known each other since childhood, making their relationship all the more special.
The table erupted into cheers, teasing, and congratulations. Vanshika and Vedansh blushed, grinning from ear to ear as their friends showered them with affection and playful jibes. Amidst the celebration, Veer and Armaan's subtle tension was forgotten, replaced by the warmth and joy of their friends' special moment.
Everyone was again chit chatting while vedansh and vanshika were having their sweet couple talks, and Anurag was reading some college articles online. Neharika, who was sitting in the middle of Veer and Armaan, was unaware of the situation where these two men were giving each other death stares.
Veer suddenly pulled Neharika's chair closer to him, which made Neharika's heart skip a beat. Veer got closer to her and whispered, "Who is this guy beside you, Mohtarma?" His was husky and dangerous. Neharika felt a shiver run down her spine which made her voice lower than usual "He is my childhood friend" she said while trying to get away from him but he pulled her more closer to him and was about to say something but suddenly Neharika's chair was pulled by someone......Neharika looked towards her right side and saw Armaan pulled her towards him "Neha who is this weirdo?" Asked Armaan, giving him a deathstare. Veer again pulled her towards him and said, "I am Veer Malhotra, Neharika's brother's friend." He said, staring right into Armaan's soul.
Both of them were looking really dangerous, and their gaze were like a sharp knife that could have killed anyone.
Anurag saw them and sighed. "Oye gadho kyu ghoor rahe ho ek dusre ko? (Aye donkeys, why are you both staring at eachother?)
When he didn't got any answers from them he said frowing "Oi kiddo what happened to them?" Anurag asked Neharika who was getting a free chair ride 😂 i mean Armaan and Veer were again and again pulling her towards them, she looked at her brother feeling hopeless "Bhaiya stop them na my momos are getting cold" Hearing her Anurag chuckled and admired his sister, and then suddenly shouted while banging the table "SAALO MERI BEHEN KO BAKSH DO!! (LEAVE MY SISTER YOU IDIOTS)" Anurag thundered, his voice echoing through the canteen.
The room fell silent, with all eyes on Anurag. Veer and Armaan, still locked in a fierce stare, slowly turned to face him. Neharika, taking advantage of the distraction, finally managed to free herself from the chair tug-of-war.
As the tension dissipated, the canteen erupted into a mixture of applause and snickers. Neharika playfully rolled her eyes at her brother's dramatic outburst, while Veer and Armaan exchanged a wary glance, their rivalry far from over.
Vedansh, who had been watching the drama unfold, turned to Vanshika and whispered, "I think we're not the only ones with a complicated relationship." Vanshika giggled, nodding in agreement.
The group returned to their lively chatter, but the undercurrents between Veer, Armaan, and Neharika remained, waiting to resurface.
As they finished their snacks and prepared to leave, Neharika couldn't help but notice the lingering tension between Veer and Armaan. She sighed inwardly, wondering what had sparked this sudden rivalry.
Anurag, sensing his sister's unease, wrapped a reassuring arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry, kiddo. I've got your back."
Neharika smiled, feeling grateful for her brother's protection. As they walked out of the canteen, Veer and Armaan fell into step beside her, their eyes locked in a silent challenge.
The trio's complicated dynamics had only just begun to unfold, and Neharika found herself at the center of a brewing storm. Little did she know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would test her heart, her friendships, and her very sense of self.......
