Aarohi's eyes darted towards her phone, buzzing with an incoming call. "Umm wait, I'm getting a call," she said, trying to escape the intense moment.

But Lakshya wasn't having it. He caught her arm, "Wait, Aarohi, answer my question!" he exclaimed, his eyes burning with curiosity.

Aarohi's heart skipped a beat as she turned back to him. Her cheeks flushed, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Umm...I love the person you are!" she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lakshya's eyes locked onto hers, his face inches from hers. Aarohi's heart raced as she continued, her words spilling out like a sweet confession. "You're kind, sweet, generous...and rude at times, but that comes from your caring side!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with sincerity.

Lakshya's face softened, his eyes melting into hers like warm honey. Aarohi's heart fluttered, caught in the intensity of the moment...

Here's the continuation in paragraphs and dialogues:

Aarohi's eyes met Lakshya's, and she felt her heart skip a beat. "I love you!" she blurted out, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lakshya's eyes widened in shock. "What??" he exclaimed, his voice laced with surprise.

Aarohi's face turned bright red as she realized her mistake. "I mean, I love the kind of person you are!" she stammered, trying to cover up her slip.

Lakshya looked at her like she had just confessed her deepest secret. Aarohi needed to escape, and fast. "Umm... I... I'm going to make dinner!" she said, making a hasty retreat to the kitchen.

Downstairs, in the kitchen, Aarohi slapped her hand over her face. "What the hell was that? Why did I say that??" she muttered to herself.

She looked up at the ceiling, as if searching for answers. "Am I in love with him?" she wondered aloud.

Aarohi shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. "Ohh God, Aarohi! Don't be ridiculous! It's just an arranged marriage. It will never work out," she told herself, trying to sound convincing.

But the doubt lingered, and Aarohi couldn't shake off the feeling that she was in deeper than she thought.

Aarohi and Lakshya sat down to dinner, the tension between them palpable. But as they began to eat, the silence became more comfortable, and they started to talk.

"Hey, this curry looks great," Lakshya said, serving himself a generous portion.

"Thanks, I was hoping you'd like it," Aarohi replied, smiling slightly.

They ate in comfortable silence for a bit, the only sound the clinking of utensils on plates. Then, Lakshya spoke up.

"So, how was your day? Before meeting tara?"

Aarohi shrugged. "It was fine. Just busy with work stuff. You know how it is."

Lakshya nodded. "Yeah, I do. I had a pretty long day too."

And they continued talking, exchanging small pleasantries, getting to know each other better.

"Umm, Will you come for a walk?" He said.

"Umm, yeah sure!" She said.

As they walked further, the night air filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, Lakshya suddenly stopped and turned to Aarohi.

"Want to see something?" he asked, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Aarohi's curiosity was piqued. "What is it?"

Lakshya smiled and took her hand, leading her to a nearby sports complex. They entered the badminton court, the soft glow of the floodlights enveloping them.
