Mishti.

I still couldn't shake off the feeling from yesterday. That same tune… it echoed in my mind like a stubborn memory refusing to fade. Could I have been imagining it? Maybe I was just connecting random sounds with that guy who left the library.

"Ha erom e hoyeche. Nale ar ki? Ved nije eshe gungun korchilo?" I mumbled to myself, half amused. "Mishti, tui na, shotti."

(Yes, that's it. Or, else what? Was Ved himself humming? Mishti, really!)

With a sigh, I shook my head and forced myself to focus on the day ahead. "C’mon, Mishti. Get ready."

I left those thoughts behind and got up to prepare for college. After my usual morning routine, I decided to keep it casual and comfortable today—a simple white crop top, grey trousers, and a pink shirt as a cover-up. I applied some moisturizer, dabbed on a tinted lip balm, and tied my hair into a ponytail. A wristwatch, shoes, a spritz of perfume, and I was all set.

Grabbing my tote bag, I headed downstairs. After taking blessings from Ma, Nani, and God, I stepped out the door, ready to face whatever the day had in store for me.

As I walked into the classroom, I saw our group huddled together, chatting away. But my eyes found their way to one particular 6'3" human, as if they had a mind of their own.

How tall is too tall? Someone should ask Advait Kapoor.

I couldn't help but get captivated by his magnetic presence, his handsome features effortlessly drawing my gaze. The way his hair fell in that perfectly messy style, a few stray strands brushing against his forehead… it was enough to make my fingers itch with the urge to run through them. I had to suppress that thought quickly.

Even through the jumper he was wearing, I could catch a glimpse of his well-built physique, hinting at the strength beneath.

Bhagwan ji ne fursat se banaya hai iss bande ko, I swear.

(God has created this man with lots of patience and care, I swear.)
