Alisha's Pov:

The gentle morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of my dorm room, casting a warm glow on everything it touched.

I rolled over, reaching instinctively for my phone to check the time. 7:00 AM. With a smile, I noticed a message from Siddhart waiting for me.

Good morning, Chandni. Ready for another beautiful day together? 😊

I couldn't help but grin at the screen. Siddhart had a way of making every day feel special, even with something as simple as a good morning text. Quickly, I typed out a reply.

Good morning, Sid! Can't wait to see you.

After a quick shower and getting dressed in my favorite outfit-a light blue kurti paired with white leggings-I grabbed my bag and headed out to meet him.

The college campus was buzzing with life as students hurried to their classes, but my mind was set on seeing him.

Siddhart was waiting for me at our usual spot under the old banyan tree near the library.

He looked up from his book as I approached, his face breaking into a wide smile.

There was something about the way his eyes lit up when he saw me that made my heart skip a beat every time.

"Hey there," he said, standing up and pulling me into a warm hug. His embrace was like a shield against the chaos of the world, and I never wanted to let go.

"Hmm," I replied, looking up into his deep brown eyes.

He took my hand, and we walked together to our first class of the day, our fingers intertwined.

The morning passed in a blur of lectures and notes, but I couldn't help but think about Sid, about us.

He was so focused, so determined, and it was one of the many things I loved about him.

During our break, we found a quiet corner in the cafeteria to share a cup of coffee.

"I was thinking," he began, stirring his coffee absentmindedly,

"we should go somewhere special this weekend. Just the two of us."

"Special? Like where?" I asked, curious.

He shrugged, a mischievous glint in his eye. "You'll see. It's a surprise."

I loved surprises, especially when they came from Siddhart. He had a knack for turning the simplest moments into magical memories.

"Okay, mister mysterious, I'll trust you on this one," I said, laughing.

Our afternoons were usually filled with more classes and study sessions in the library.

Today was no different, but knowing that we had something special planned for the weekend made the hours fly by.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, we headed to our favorite spot on campus-the rooftop garden of the arts building.

It was a hidden gem, known to only a few, and it offered a stunning view of the entire campus.

We sat down on one of the benches, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

"Do you ever think about the future?"

Siddhart asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

"All the time," I admitted. "Especially our future."

He turned to me, his expression serious but filled with warmth.

"Me too. I want us to be together, Alisha. Not just now, but always."

My heart swelled with emotion.

"I want that too, Sid. More than anything."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, delicate bracelet. It was simple, with tiny charms that represented different milestones in our relationship.

"I got this for you. A little something to remind you of us."

Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes as he fastened the bracelet around my wrist.

"It's beautiful, Sid. Thank you."

We stayed there until the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, talking about our dreams and aspirations.

It was moments like these that made me realize how lucky I was to have him in my life.

The next few days flew by in a whirlwind of classes, study sessions, and shared lunches.

Before I knew it, the weekend had arrived, and Siddhart was waiting for me outside my dorm, ready to whisk me away on our surprise date.

"Where are we going?" I asked, excitement bubbling inside me as I climbed into his car.

He just smiled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "You'll see."

We drove for about an hour, the city gradually giving way to lush green fields and winding country roads.

Finally, he pulled over near a small, picturesque lake. It was a hidden paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle of college life.

"Wow, this place is amazing," I breathed, taking in the serene beauty of our surroundings.

"I thought you'd like it," Siddhart said, his voice soft and filled with love.

He had packed a picnic for us, complete with all my favorite snacks. We spent the afternoon lounging by the lake, talking, laughing, and simply enjoying each other's company.

At one point, he pulled out his guitar and started playing a song he had written just for me. His voice, the melody, the lyrics-it was all perfect.

"You're incredible," I said when he finished, my heart overflowing with love for him.

"And you're my inspiration," he replied, leaning in to kiss me.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the lake, we lay side by side on the picnic blanket, our fingers intertwined.

It was one of those moments I wished could last forever.

"This has been the best day," I whispered, resting my head on his shoulder.

"It's only the beginning, babe," he said, kissing the top of my head.

"We have so many more adventures ahead of us."

We stayed there until it got dark, then reluctantly packed up and headed back to campus. As he walked me to my dorm, he pulled me into a tight hug.

"I love you, Alisha. Never forget that."

"I love you too, Siddhart," I replied, my heart full.

Our relationship continued to flourish in the following weeks. We found joy in the little things-like sharing a cup of coffee, studying together, or stealing moments between classes to talk about our dreams.

Every day with Siddhart was a new adventure, and I cherished each moment we spent together.
