Aayush went to collage after the changed scheduled. He went straight to his class. He was a bright student and always attentive on his classes. his professors were impressed by him but he did not liked anyone of his class because they all had their friend circle and Aayush did not fit in with them. He tried to make friends but everyone thought he was a weird kid who never talks to anyone .After his classes were over and it was break time Aayush went to cafeteria and there he saw Sonam sitting alone and eating her lunch. Then he remembered the scheduled was changed. Aayush tried to sit with Sonam and slowly walks towards her. But he stopped in midway. He was scared again and he decided to sit somewhere else. he sat at a distant and stalked Sonam from there. He always admired Sonam's smile and her eyes but he was much nervous and scared to talk to her. After finishing her lunch Sonam left for her classes. Aayush saw her till the very end. He was becoming a stalker but never talked to her.

Now their Art class was about to start and Aayush went for his class. At art class he saw Bivek, Kabir, Aadarsh and Sonam. He asked," Are you guys supposed to be in this class?" Bivek replied," We decided to join till next week." Aayush said," Oh, Okay." That class was fun for him because everyone were joking around painting some funny paintings and cracked jokes. As usual Kabir was flirting with Sonam. Kabir," Now our scheduled is changed we won't have that much time, I will miss you." Sonam," I'll miss you too." Everyone were admiring and teasing Sonam and Kabir and they both were laughing. Aayush again saw Sonam smiling and he was flattered. As usual they went home together. At house while having Aayush's parents asked," How's collage going?" Aayush," It going good and I am getting along with it." His parents were verry happy.

Next day it was same again he went to cafeteria and stalked Sonam but this time Sonam was different. She was a little bit gloomy and not fresh. He did not dare to ask her. Later at art class they all were together and Sonam coughed. Aayush was panicked but did not asked her. Kabir," What happened,are you okay?" Sonam, " I am having a cold and sore throat." Aayush from nowhere," You should take vapour and take some Holy Basil." Everybody looked at him because it was first time he talked. He saw their look and said nothing. Sonam from behind," THANK YOU, AAYUSH." Aayush nervously," YOU..YOU ARE WELCOME."

After that Sonam did not come to collage for 3 days. Aayush was concerned about Sonam and was thinking how she was doing. He wanted to text her but he did not. He was distracted he always thought about Sonam. He even asked Kabir about her. Kabir said," She's doing fine." Aayush felt relifed. While returning home Aayush saw Kabir getting close with some random girl. He was shocked and asked," Does Sonam knows about this?" " About what?" Kabir asked. " About that girl." Kabir laughed and said," DUDE SHE WILL KILL ME IF SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS." Aayush looked at Bivek and Aadarsh and it looked like they knew about it." Aayush was very upset seeing how Kabir was acting behind Sonam's back yet he did not say anything to anyone because he did not want to ruin relationship of his friend and loose his friends again but he knew one thing that Kabir did not loved Sonam.

Next day Sonam came to collage Aayush saw her at art class and asked," Hey how are you feeling?" Sonam replied," Oh I am fine, thanks to you." Aayush smiled and continued his art. A random guy came and laughed at Sonam's art that time Aayush saw Sonam's anger. Sonam yelled at that guy so furiously Aayush was scared to death and did not try to speak to her at that moment. Sonam looked at Aayush and asked," What happened?" Aayush said," NNN...NOTHING."

While returning Aayush told everyone how Sonam lost her temper to a guy. And everyone said," YEAH SHE IS VERY DANGEROUS YOU BETTER WATCH AAYUSH MAYBE NEXT TIME IT WOULD BE YOU." and laughed. Aayush was stunned. "Shut up you guys, that's not gonna happen." Sonam said. Aayush looked at her and smiled. Later at home Aayush was having dinner with his parents suddenly he remembered Sonam's temper and laughed. " What happened?" His parents asked. Aayush,"Nothing I just remembered something." He was scared of Sonam now not because she was furious and had a bad temper because he was not good with words and he was afraid that he might say something that will make her angry. Next day at collage Aayush was thinking of having lunch with Sonam. He was in class and professor asked questions. Aayush answered every single question. Everyone was amazed. Professor also complimented him and encouraged him to continue. After class Aayush went to cafeteria and Sonam was there. He went there and said, " HI, CAN I SIT HERE." Sonam saw him and said," HEY OFCOURSE YOU CAN." Aayush sat with her and was having lunch. Sonam asked," So, how's collage going?" Aayush replied," It is great and I am very good at my subjects." Sonam said," As a fresher it would be a little bit boring." Aayush said," I am not bored at all, I have you." Sonam looked at him. Aayush realized he had said it wrong and corrected himself," I MEAN YOU GUYS BIVEK, KABIR, AADARSH." Sonam looked at him and smiled. Sonam asked Aayush to go art class with him as they had the same scheduled. Aayush finished his lunch and went with Sonam. That was first time Aayush talked to Sonam.

At art class Sonam was painting something and Aayush saw her painting. Sonam asked,"Is something wrong?" Aayush said, " Bit something seems missing." Aayush then painted her painting and add some creativity. Soman liked it and said," Wow you really have creative mind, would you join me for the art class?" Aayush said," Sure, why not." Aayush and Sonam began to get along in art class. While hanging out with the boys he said how he and Sonam were doing good at art together. Everyone including Kabir teased him by saying that," YOU TWO GUYS WILL BE PERFECT, YOU SHOULD ASK HER OUT." and laughed. Kabir asked," Do you like her?" Aayush denied that he likes her and beside Kabir and Sonam were together but deep down maybe he had liked her.

Later that night Aayush texted Sonam," Today's Art class was fun right?" after sometime Sonam replied," Haha yeah it was fun you were too good."

Aayush," It was all you skill I just added something."

Sonam," No you are creative."

Aayush," Thank you ."

Sonam," Okay it's late night I gotta sleep. GOODNIGHT"

Aayush," OH okay Good night"

Next day Aayush and Sonam were again together in Art class. Aayush and Sonam really painted some beautiful paintings together. It was their daily work from then. Later they Showed their results to Kabir, Bivek and Aadarsh and they were all stunned. Aayush's creativity and Sonam's skill really matched up. There were no match for them. They slowly gained the name of "The Dynamic Duo of Painting." Aayush gave all the credits to Sonam. Aayush was happy that he was with Sonam.

One night they were texting and Aayush talked a lot

Sonam," You never talk infront of others and here in text you are unstoppable."

Aayush," It's because I am an introvert and I really don't know how to talk to people and I am not good with words."

Sonam," I am an introvert too."

Aayush," Really, but you seem more confident."

Sonam," It is because I am care free."

Aayush asked Sonam about Kabir and Sonam said," Yes we are in relationship."

Aayush," You two must be lucky."

Sonam," Haha yes."

Aayush remembered how Kabir was with that girl that day but still he did not dare to utter a word about it."

Aayush," Great Couple."

Sonam," You notice everything?"

Aayush," Yeah when you are quiet you notice everything."

Sonam," What did you notice about me?

Aayush," You probably dont know but you have really beautiful smile and those eyes of your it reflects your soul and you have a kind but strong heart."

Sonam,"........"

Aayush," Did I say anything wrong? I'm so sorry."

Sonam," No No, Its just no one ever had paid this attention to my habit"

Aayush," Not even Kabir."

Sonam," He has no time for me except flirting."

Now it was daily task. Aayush and Sonam talked in text for hours. Aayush really got to know Sonam. He knew most of the things about her. Her birthday, her travelling hobby, her reading hobby, her good cravings for chocolates, her habit of reading books,novels and her cussing habit when she got mad. Aayush also shared his past trauma and how he was depressed and tried to commit suicide. Even Bivek did not know about this but he was telling it all to Sonam. Sonam listened to Aayush's words and advised him. For the first time someone had behaved like a friend to Aayush and he was very happy. He thought it was the beginning for their friendship.
