Three weeks had passed and Arya was waiting for Aryan's letter. They had decided that whenever they will put a letter in the post box, they will put a purple heart on the door of the post box.
Aryan had sent a letter earlier in which he had mentioned that he will be very busy.
Finally, after three weeks, she saw her post box and felt excited after noticing a purple heart on it. She quickly took the letter, went to the library and sat in a corner so that no one notices her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Aryaaaaaaaaaa.
I am soooooo happy today. We did it. We passed the audition for the music festival and now my friends and I would be performing at our University's fest. I can't tell you how excited I am. We practiced so hard for this audition and finally made it.
I am so sorry, I couldn't write to you as I was super busy.
Had to practice for the auditions, plus had to submit two case studies and also had to take my daadi for her routine medical check up with my mother. These few weeks were very hectic. But, the coming weeks are going to be even more hectic for me.
I have exams coming up and also have to practice for the music festival. We are planning to sing 10 songs as we have been allotted an hour of stage time in the festival. Once everything is finalised, I'll let you know.
Oh ho. How stupid of me! I just kept on blabbering about myself. What did you do in these weeks?
Can't wait to hear from you.
Aryan.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Yayyyyyyyy" Arya couldn't control her emotions and shouted loudly.
The library assistant gave her a firm look and she realised where she was. She apologised to everyone and started reading the letter again.
So, he is going to be at the music festival. How amazing! Arya was busy thinking and suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"What is your pen friend saying?" Kavya asked in a soft tone considering the silent atmosphere in the library.
"He is going to be a part of the music festival. His band got selected at the auditions." Arya said enthusiastically.
"Wow. That's nice. So, did you tell him that you are also a part of the University festival?"
"Should I tell him or keep it a secret?"
"Arya, you both haven't met each other. How does it help if you keep this a secret?"
"I think, I should let him guess who I am by giving him some clue."
"Are you playing treasure hunt with him? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I want to make this festival a lifetime memory for me with my pen friend. I am just not sure how to do it."
Kavya knew her best friend was going over the top but she was enjoying this phase of Arya as she was well aware of what reality had in stores for her best friend. Meanwhile, Kavya realised that it was time for their class and told the same to Arya.
They both left for their class and with a motto of surviving the boring class of Mr. Banerjee attended the same.
Everyone was feeling sleepy, except Arya who was thinking of what should be her reply to Aryan. She noticed that the professor was busy with explaining the presentation.
She then took out her notepad and started writing the reply.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Aryan.
Congratulations. I am soooo happy for your friends and you. All the best for the music festival.
Can't wait for your performance at the festival. Please include some BTS songs in your playlist. Please Please PLEASE... Once you finalise your genre then I will help you with the songs.
My weeks were very boring as I had some assignments to submit and many many many classes to attend. Even now when I am writing this letter, I am in a very boring class. Writing to you is my solace.
By the way, I am gonna be a part of our University festival too. My fine arts department is going to have live painting and portrait stall. We have submitted our entries and are waiting for the results. Fingers crossed. Please pray for me.
Arya

After One Week
Aryan was in the cafeteria along with his friends and they were discussing the playlist for their performance.
"Guys, let's include a BTS along with others. Audience will love it." Aryan was trying to convince his friends who were little sceptical about the choice.
"Aryan, we know you like BTS, but we are singing Bollywood songs, then why do you want to have 1 BTS song?"
"Don't you know how popular their songs are? Trust me, people will go crazy for their song. They will love us for doing something innovative by including world music in the festival". Aryan did not plan on giving up so easily.
"No bro. Let's stick to the plan as decided. Only bollywood songs. That's it." His friend Rishi who was the band leader did not pay any heed to Aryan's demand. Aryan was sad as he couldn't convince the others but he let it go.
"Sorry Arya" He said mentally.
"Let us begin the practice from tomorrow. You all can come at my place after classes." Rishi informed his band mates.
"Okay" All of them agreed wholeheartedly and went to their respective homes. Aryan went to the Arya's post box to keep the letter. He did not forget to check his own post box before leaving the campus. He saw the empty post box and felt sad.
Am I getting deeply involved in this pen friendship? Why am I feeling sad when there is no letter from Arya? Many such thoughts arose in Aryan's mind. He couldn't deny the fact that he had got used to Arya's letters and felt empty without them.
The next day Aryan found Arya's letter in his post box in which she had asked him to be ready for a surprise.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Aryan,
Be ready for the University Fest. You are going to get a surprise. Don't forget to check your post box after 8pm on the day of the music festival.
Fingers crossed.
Arya
