AUTHOR'S POV

2 years later...

The college campus is bustling with excitement as family members, friends, and faculty gather to celebrate the much-awaited graduation ceremony. Colorful banners and decorations adorn the surroundings, creating an atmosphere of joy and accomplishment.

The ceremony is held in a grand open-air auditorium, with rows of neatly arranged chairs facing a grand stage. A large banner at the front reads "Congratulations Graduates!" in bold letters.

The guests take their seats, their faces beaming with pride and anticipation. The stage is adorned with flowers and university insignias, setting the tone for the celebration of academic achievement.

As the ceremony begins, the college's dean steps onto the stage, warmly welcoming everyone and expressing pride in the graduating class.

"Welcome, everyone, to the graduation ceremony of our talented and accomplished students! Today, we gather to honor their hard work, dedication, and accomplishments" The dean announces loud and enthusiastic.

The dean proceeds to introduce the distinguished guests, faculty members, and the graduation committee, each receiving a round of applause from the audience.

Next, the graduates make their entrance, walking proudly down the aisle in their elegant caps and gowns. Their faces radiate happiness and relief as they wave to their families and friends, who cheer them on with pride.

Once the graduates are seated, the ceremony moves on to speeches and awards. A notable alumni speaker shares inspiring words about their own journey and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead for the graduates.

After the speeches, it is time for the awarding of degrees and certificates. Each graduate's name is called, and they walk across the stage, receiving their diploma from the dean, shaking hands, and capturing the moment with a photograph.

"Aradhya Kashyap" 

Aradhya took a deep breath before stepping onto the stage with a bright smile.

"Thank you" She smiles taking the certificate and posing for the camera.

Everyone claps and cheers loudly as she makes her way across the stage, her heart filled with pride and happiness.

As the last graduate receives their diploma, the dean takes the podium once more.

"Congratulations to the Class of 2023! You have all worked hard and proven yourselves capable of achieving great things. We have no doubt that you will make a significant impact in the world" He proudly terminated the ceremony.

The graduates toss their graduation caps high in the air, cheering with excitement as the ceremony culminates with a shower of caps soaring against the sky.

...

She walks on the graduation ground searching for her boyfriend with her certificate in her hand, barely able to walk in her heels.

She looks 360 degrees and finally spots him leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and a proud smile on his face.

She smiles brightly and runs towards him, engulfing him in a tight hug.

"I finally did it!" She told him like a baby.

"So proud of you, my love" He smiled pecking her lips.

"Did you take my photos?" She asked looking up to him, still her arms around his waist.
