The Three Threads

The Tale of Maaya and Karan

The cozy living room of Aarav's home was filled with laughter, nostalgia, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Aarav was hosting Maaya’s best friends, Sam and Saachi, both of whom had been integral parts of Maaya’s past.

He wanted to know everything about Maaya and wanted to fully understand her and support her.

As he was planning their anniversary, he didn't want to make her feel unwanted or remind them of anything about her past, and he didn't want to repeat his old mistakes. on the other hand, he was curious about the ring, too.

He wanted to know the story behind the ring.

As the conversation ebbed and flowed, Aarav expressed his curiosity about Maaya's college days.

With a knowing look and a hint of sass, Sam and Saachi exchanged glances, ready to reveal a story that stood the test of time—a story Aarav had never fully heard: the love story of Maaya and Karan.

Alright, Aarav, buckle up,” Sam began, leaning back comfortably. “You're in for a rollercoaster ride. It all started in our second year of college…”

"We're about to take you on a roller-coaster ride through Maaya’s college years. And trust me, it’s a tale worth every bit of your time."

Saachi leaned in, her eyes sparkling with memories. "You see, Maaya was the life of our college. Always loving, caring, and never afraid to take the initiative. That's how she met Karan."

Sam cut in, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Oh, Karan! He was the charming, enigmatic guy girls would write poetry about.

Tall, with a brooding air that made him irresistible. But, as destiny would have it, it was our Maaya who made the first move.”

Aarav’s eyebrows shot up. “Maaya? She initiated?”

You bet she did,” Sam confirmed. “It was at the annual college fest. Karan had just performed a soulful rendition on the guitar.

Karan, the new guy, had just joined and was participating in the music segment. Maaya couldn’t help but be mesmerized by his talent."

she was head over heels!" Saachi added a giggle. "She didn’t waste time, either. She marched right up to him after his performance and said,

'Hey, Rockstar,‘That was beautiful. We should make music together sometime.’

"fancy teaming up for the duet competition?'

Karan, bemused and flattered, couldn’t resist her charm."

Maaya, with her usual grace and confidence, walked straight up to him and said,

From singing duets to dancing under the starlit sky, they were the unbeatable duo of their college.

Aarav could almost see it: Maaya, with her infectious energy, dragging a reluctant Karan into various competitions.

Saachi laughed. “And just like that, the ice broke. Their relationship blossomed, turning into an inseparable bond.

They were the couple everyone admired—the perfect blend of passion and understanding.

Remember the adventure trips?" Sam's eyes twinkled. "They planned every single one together. Whether it was trekking in the Nilgiris or taking spontaneous road trips, they were inseparable.

They had a blast, living life to the fullest, and making memories that would last a lifetime."

"They were the perfect couple," Saachi sighed wistfully. "Always in sync, finishing each other’s sentences, and sharing dreams. But it wasn’t just about the fun times.

They worked together on projects, participated in debates, and were each other’s biggest cheerleaders."

Karan was the calm to Maaya’s storm, and Maaya was the spark to Karan’s quietude.”

Their love story was not without its quirks.

Maaya’s spontaneous nature often clashed with Karan’s meticulous planning, but it only made them stronger.

They shared dreams, aspirations, and an unwavering support system that seemed unbreakable.

They were each other’s muse, crafting a love story that was both poetic and profound.

Even when they had their differences, they were cute together; nothing was able to separate them.

Since they started dating they were the perfect example for everyone in our college.

Aarav was getting lost in the story, feeling the depth of their bond. But he knew it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
