Chapter start
****************

" Call me when your class is over." These words are from Neil to Aaira, who has come to drop her to college and at this moment both of them are standing outside the college gate.

"Ok papa." Saying this Aaira gives a hug to her father and then Neil leaves from there when Aaira goes inside the college gate.

Inside the college, Aaira is walking towards her class but suddenly stops when she sees Reyansh coming towards her from the other side

Reyansh was just waiting for her, standing inside the college gate and as soon as she said bye to her father and entered the college, Reyansh takes his steps towards her.

Aaira sees him but quickly resumes her steps, ignoring his presence and before Reyansh can reach her, Aaira changes her way taking a right turn, but before Aaira can go on her way, Reyansh immediately speeds up his steps and comes in front of her and seeing him like this in front of her, Aaira glares at him angrily.

Both look at each other and Reyansh opens his mouth to say something but before that Aaira speaks

" Get out of my way." she says to which he sighs.

" Look Mannat... he starts but she cuts him off

" Aaira, for you I am Aaira.... I have refused before and today I am saying it again, don't call me Mannat, I am my father's Mannat and no one has the right to call me that." He smiles slightly at her words.

" Okay, I won't call you Mannat, Happy ?" he says to which she looks at him

"But, how are you now?" he asks

" Don't you have eyes? Can't you see how beautiful I am." Her words make him smile again but at the same time he feels like banging his head against a wall... why doesn't she give a straight answer? He's talking about her health.

" I mean, how is your health ? Aarav told me that you were not well." He further speaks to which she looks at him

" Oh then go and ask Arav Bhai about further information about my health now." She replies to which he looks at her, somewhere she also knows that he cannot do this, he cannot ask Aarav or anyone else about her directly.

And there after saying this she starts leaving to which Reyansh stops her again taking her name and this time he calls her Aaira.., her back is facing him and before she can move, he says...

" At least unblock my number." he requests, to which she turns towards him

" And why would I do that ?" she asks

" What do you mean why would you do that, you have to do this, unblock my number." he says

" I won't do it and for God's sake stop following me and go to hell." she says as she walks away.

"Okay, then you'll have to come to hell with me too, what would I do there without you." He says, to which, the anger she is trying to suppress increases but she doesn't say anything further because she doesn't want to ruin her mood and that is why this time she quietly goes straight to her class from there and Reyansh just keeps looking at her as she goes.

A week passes

The scene is of a hospital where a girl comes to the reception and the receptionist is shocked to see her.

" You?"

"I want to meet Ansh, is he free ?" These are Advaita's words to the receptionist.

Advaita is here again today after a week from the day she expressed her love for Ansh in an indirect way.
