Secrets Of Live

chapter 2

Aarya walked to her college with a mind full of questions. "What could happen?" she thought, trying to shake off the unsettling feeling that lingered in her mind. "Okay, mom, I’ll be back soon," she muttered under her breath as she hurried out the door.

Sunita, her mother, nodded without looking up. She was too busy with her chores to notice the storm brewing in her daughter’s mind.

Aarya reached college, the place where she was supposed to feel free, but something was off. As she entered the campus, she overheard a conversation between a few boys and girls. The voices were loud, careless, and each word felt like a slap to her face.

Aarav (Boy 1): “Yaar, Aarya is so hot and sexy. I just need one night with her… I swear, it would be amazing.”

Rohan (Boy 2): “Yeah, she's insane, but I don’t get why she doesn't give any guy the time of day. It's like she doesn’t even care.”

Priya (Girl 1): “She’s probably gay, isn’t she? Hahaha.”

The cruel words echoed in her head. She couldn’t stop them. Aarya's stomach twisted in anger, the sting of their judgment burning deep. But instead of confronting them, she turned away, swallowing her pride and pushing her way through the crowd. She didn’t want to show them how much it hurt.

Unbeknownst to her, Arjun (Jungkook), who had been standing nearby, overheard the entire conversation. His eyes darkened, watching the reaction on Aarya's face as she walked away. She hadn’t seen him, but he had seen everything. He noticed how her face changed, how she seemed to carry the weight of their words, yet remained silent.

Aarya walked out of the group, and the hurt remained like a shadow.

Arjun stood there for a moment, doing nothing, saying nothing, and then quietly walked into his class.

Meanwhile, Rohit (Jimin), his best friend, was sitting with him, engaged in a casual conversation.

Rohit: "Dude, you won’t believe it. Aarya actually proposed to me yesterday."

Arjun: “Wait, really? You rejected her, right? You’ve gotta be kidding me.”

Rohit laughed. “Yeah, of course. You know me. I flirt with anyone. But my heart… that’s a different story. Only one person holds it.”

Arjun: “And who’s that? Come on, spill it.”

Rohit paused, looking at Arjun with a playful smirk. “I can't tell you yet. Let the right moment come, and then I will.”

Arjun raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "And when is that moment coming? Or is it never?"

As they bantered, the door to the classroom creaked open, and Aarya walked in. She didn’t notice the tension in the room, didn’t even glance at Arjun, but the way she carried herself—resilient, despite everything—drew his attention. She took a seat right in front of Arjun, her back straight, eyes focused forward.

Arjun couldn't help but stare at her for a moment, and when their eyes briefly met, he only gave her a cold look—a face that said "I'm done." He had no idea why he felt compelled to be distant, but it was like a part of him wanted to protect her from everything.

Just as Arjun looked away, he heard a voice in the background.

?? (A voice, soft yet full of emotion): “Uff, she’s the one I’ve been waiting for. This is my love.”

The words sent a chill through Arjun. Who was this person? And what did they mean for Aarya?

The story wasn’t over yet. Something dark lingered in the air—a secret that neither Aarya nor Arjun could ignore. Was Aarya really as untouched and indifferent as she seemed? Or was there someone out there who truly knew her heart?
