"Hush," Tanya sighed in relief. "Finally, those awful exams are over." "We can finally enjoy life again!" she said, smiling, but quickly noticed Siya wasn't as excited. Sensing something off, Tanya asked, "You good? You don't look too happy."
Siya paused for a second before saying, "Tanya, now that exams are done, I won't get to see Abhi as much." Tanya raised an eyebrow. "Wait... didn't you say you didn't like him?"
"I do, Tanya, I do," Siya admitted, surprising Tanya with the sudden confession. "I really like him. I can't keep pretending I don't," Siya added, her voice softer, like she was finally letting herself be honest.
Tanya, not one to beat around the bush, leaned in. "Then tell him, Siya, before it's too late." Siya's eyes filled with tears as she thought about what could go wrong. "But what if... what if he likes someone else?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Siya, any girl would be lucky to have him. But you deserve love too, you know? What if someone else ends up with him just because you didn't say anything?" Tanya gently nudged. Siya sniffled, wiping away the tears that had escaped. "You're right," she said, her voice steady now. "I'm going to tell him how I feel."
"Should I help you plan something special?" Tanya asked, her excitement bubbling up, ready to jump into action. Siya shook her head, smiling softly. "No need," she said. "I want it to be simple and private. We both prefer it that way, Tanya." Tanya grinned, understanding the sentiment. "Alright, keeping it low-key. I get it."

Summoning her courage, Siya typed out a message to Abhimanyu. "Hey Abhi, now that exams are done, want to join us for a café hangout?" Abhimanyu replied quickly, "Sounds good. Who else is coming?"
"Just Tanya, your friend Dhruv, and me. Cool with you?" "Absolutely. When are we meeting?" "Tomorrow evening work for you?" "Perfect. See you then."
As Abhimanyu read the message, a small smile tugged at his lips. He was slowly letting go of the weight of his past, allowing himself to enjoy the present, especially the moments he shared with Siya. Every conversation, every glance—they were becoming the highlights of his day. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.

"Tanya, Abhi agreed," Siya said, unable to hide her excitement. "What on earth? Did you ask him already? Wasn't the confession supposed to be a surprise at the café?" Tanya exclaimed, clearly surprised.
"Relax, I just asked if he's coming," Siya replied, laughing at Tanya's reaction. "Oh," Tanya nodded, finally catching on to Siya's plan.
Despite her excitement, as the hangout got closer, Siya started to feel the familiar twinge of nervousness creeping in. At first, she thought about planning out every word she would say to Abhi, but as the day drew nearer, she realized something—this was one of those moments where it had to come from the heart. No script, just raw honesty.
