Journey to us

Chapter 1

Haseena's POV

I've always wanted someone with whom I can share all my thoughts, someone who can be my comfort zone, but I've never found anyone like that.

Today, I met with a person, and I can't stop thinking about her. She was beautiful, her eyes were so pretty that I felt like I could drown in them.

Being new to college, I was sitting alone on a bench today. Some boys started to disturb me, and I felt a surge of anger. Suddenly, she came to me, grabbed my wrist, and said, "Let's go from here."

That's when our eyes met for the first time. Her presence was like a soothing balm to my frayed nerves, and I couldn't help but feel a strange yet comforting connection.

Karishma's POV

Today, I met a random girl. She was so sweet and cute. When I saw her being disturbed by those boys, my blood boiled with anger. I wanted to punch their faces, but I stopped myself, knowing that violence wasn't the answer.

Though I didn't know her, maybe she is new, I felt a deep sense of protectiveness. Seeing her discomfort made me feel terrible. Whenever I imagine her face, a smile automatically appears on mine. I don't know what these feelings are, but they feel so good, like a warm glow spreading through my heart.

Third Person's POV

The next day, Haseena was sitting in class, her mind drifting between the lecture and her thoughts from the previous day. The door opened, and Karishma entered with her friends. For a brief moment, Karishma's eyes met Haseena's. Karishma smiled and made her way over, sitting down beside Haseena.

"Hey, wanna be friends?" Karishma asked, extending her hand for a handshake.

Haseena, smiling warmly, shook Karishma's hand and nodded positively.

Soon after, Karishma's friends joined them, surrounding Haseena with friendly faces and welcoming smiles.

"Haseena, don't think twice before saying anything. If something comes to your mind, you can directly tell us. We are friends now, right?" Aria said cheerfully.

"Yeahhh," Zara and Riya nodded in agreement. [ I just randomly used these 3 names as their friends]

Haseena nodded positively, feeling a sense of belonging. She realized she had found not just friends, but a group of people who genuinely cared about her. The warmth of their acceptance filled her heart, and she knew this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

After some time

"Hey, Haseena. Listen, are you going home now?" Karishma asked, her voice gentle but hopeful.

"Yes, do you have something to talk about?" Haseena replied, curious.

"Do you have free time? Can we go to the cafe?" Karishma asked, making a childish pout that made Haseena smile. "Please don't say no."

"Okay, then let's go," Haseena said with a smile.

In the cafe, Haseena was drinking boba milk tea while Karishma sipped her coffee, her eyes often drifting to Haseena. Whenever Haseena looked up, Karishma quickly glanced at her mug, trying to hide her admiration.

"By the way, Haseena, do you love to eat ice cream?" Karishma asked, trying to sound casual.

"Yeah, I love ice cream. It's one of my most favorite things," Haseena responded, her eyes lighting up with enthusiasm.

"Then let's go eat ice cream," Karishma said with a bright smile, her heart swelling with happiness at the thought of spending more time with Haseena.

They left the cafe and wandered to a nearby ice cream parlor, the air filled with laughter and shared moments. As they enjoyed their ice creams, Karishma felt an undeniable sense of joy, knowing that this was just the beginning of something wonderful.
