With Hiya's unwavering support, Tanya began to find moments of peace amid the chaos. She focused on her future, applying to colleges and planning for life after high school. Her determination never wavered, and her hard work paid off as acceptance letters from top universities started to roll in.
As graduation approached, Tanya stood on the precipice of a new chapter in her life. She had grown stronger, more resilient, and more determined. The pain of Samrath's departure had not disappeared, but it had become a part of her journey, shaping her into the person she was becoming.
On the day of graduation, Tanya looked out at the crowd, her heart filled with a mixture of emotions. Hiya stood beside her, a proud smile on her face. As the ceremony progressed, Tanya felt a sense of closure and new beginnings.
When her name was called, she walked across the stage with her head held high, accepting her diploma with grace and confidence. In that moment, she realized that while Samrath had been a significant part of her past, her future was hers to shape.
Tanya knew she would always carry a piece of him with her, but she also knew she was ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead. With Hiya by her side and her own strength guiding her, Tanya was prepared to face whatever the future held.
And as she stepped into that future, she did so with the knowledge that she was not defined by her past heartbreak, but by her resilience, her achievements, and the unbreakable bond of friendship that had seen her through the darkest of times.
The summer after high school graduation flew by in a whirlwind of preparations, goodbyes, and anticipation. Tanya and Hiya were ecstatic when they both received acceptance letters from the prestigious college in Gujarat—the same one Samrath had been attending for the past year. They were eager to embark on this new chapter together, even though the prospect of crossing paths with Samrath was both daunting and bittersweet.
As they arrived on campus, the excitement of college life quickly took over. The sprawling grounds, bustling with students, promised new opportunities and adventures. Tanya and Hiya settled into their dorm room, eager to start their classes and explore their new environment. However, the shadow of Samrath's presence loomed over Tanya, a constant reminder of their unresolved past.
It didn't take long for Tanya and Samrath to run into each other. On the first day of classes, they found themselves in the same lecture hall, sitting at opposite ends of the room. Their eyes met briefly, but the exchange was cold and filled with unspoken animosity. The rumors and misunderstandings that had torn them apart still lingered, and the pain was palpable.
Eshika, who had also enrolled at the same college, watched the silent exchange with a smirk. She relished the tension between Tanya and Samrath, her jealousy still simmering beneath the surface. Over the next few weeks, she continued to spread malicious rumors, further fueling the animosity between them.
Tanya and Samrath avoided each other as much as possible, but their paths inevitably crossed. The campus was large, but not large enough to escape the painful reminders of their past relationship. Despite their best efforts to ignore each other, the unresolved feelings and lingering doubts made it difficult to move on.
One afternoon, as Tanya and Hiya were studying in the library, they overheard a group of students talking about a party that had happened over the weekend.
"Did you hear what happened between Tanya and Samrath?" one of them whispered.
"Yeah, apparently, they had a huge fight," another replied. "It's no wonder they hate each other."
Tanya clenched her fists, anger and frustration bubbling to the surface. "I can't believe this is still happening," she muttered to Hiya. "Why can't people just leave us alone?"
Hiya placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure this out, Tanya. There has to be a way to put an end to these rumors once and for all."
Determined to get to the bottom of things, Tanya and Hiya began discreetly asking around, trying to trace the source of the rumors. It wasn't long before they discovered that the rumors seemed to have originated from Eshika. However, as they dug deeper, they uncovered a startling revelation: Eshika wasn't the only one responsible. Another name kept coming up—Rahi.
Rahi had been a mutual friend of both Tanya and Samrath during high school, someone they had trusted. The realization that he had played a part in their breakup was a bitter pill to swallow. Determined to get to the truth, Tanya and Hiya decided to confront Rahi.
They found him in the student lounge, chatting with some friends. Tanya's heart pounded as they approached, her anger barely contained.
"Rahi, we need to talk," Tanya said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Rahi looked up, surprised to see them. "Tanya, Hiya, what's going on?"
"We know you had a hand in spreading the rumors that broke Samrath and me apart," Tanya said, her eyes blazing with anger. "Why did you do it?"
Rahi's face paled, guilt and fear flickering in his eyes. "I... I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand," he stammered. "I was just trying to help Eshika. She was so jealous, and I thought if I helped her, she'd leave me alone."
"Help her?" Hiya interjected, her voice sharp. "You destroyed a relationship and caused so much pain. How could you do that?"
Rahi looked down, unable to meet their eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize how much damage I was causing. I thought it was just harmless gossip."
"Harmless?" Tanya's voice cracked with emotion. "You ruined everything. Samrath and I might never have a chance to fix what we had because of you."
At that moment, Samrath walked into the lounge, having overheard the confrontation. His eyes widened in shock as he approached them. "What's going on here?"
