FRAGRANCE OF LOVE

11 | BEHAVIOUR MEANS LOVE

Chapter 11,

At college,

Ellie and Ariza are sitting in the canteen discussing their class work when Ariza notices someone at the canteen door.

Ariza: Look, Aryan is coming towards us.

Ellie: Yeah, and Alex is with him. They're both coming here.

Ariza: Ugh... Aryan keeps flaunting his girlfriend.

Ellie: Quiet, they're coming.

Alex: Hey, how are you, bestie?

Ariza: Haha, bestie... Nice joke.

Alex: If not bestie, what should I call you? Bae?

Ariza: Shut up. I'd prefer to hit you rather than hear it from your mouth.

Alex: Then who would you like to hear it from? Husband? I could become one if you say so. (He says this teasingly.)

Ariza: Is your mouth moving too much? If you don't want to be hit, keep your mouth shut.

Aryan and Ellie casually greet each other. Ellie smiles at Aryan, and he responds with a shy smile. They both feel that something has changed but try to hide it.

Ellie: Ariza, stop. Why are you always so rude to him?

Alex: Oh Ellie, her rude behavior is only for me... It means love, love...

Ariza: Hihihihi... Very funny...

Ellie: Anyway, what are you two doing here?

Aryan: Nothing much, we had a free period and thought we'd catch up with our friends.

Ariza: Oh, nice. Come, sit with us. We were discussing our classwork here because we also had a free period.

Alex: Well, if you say so, we'll definitely join.

Ariza: I didn't say it to you, I said it to Aryan.

The four of them sit and talk when some girls from Aryan and Alex's batch arrive.

Girls: What are you two doing with these arts students?

Alex: It's our choice. What about you? How come you're here?

Girls: We just saw you two and came to check. Also, won't you introduce us to your new friends?

The girls have a crush on Aryan, and they glance at Ellie before leaving with a sour expression.

Ellie: I think they were upset seeing you both with us.

Alex: They must be, since Aryan is their crush, haha.

Ellie: Oh, anyway, let's go. Our class is about to start.

Aryan looks at Ellie.

Ariza: Ellie, but...

(Ariza was about to say something, but Ellie cut her off.)

Ariza looks at Ellie, confused.

Ellie: Ariza, let's hurry. We're getting late.

Ariza: Okay, bye Aryan.

Ellie: Bye, guys.

Aryan: (confused about Ellie's sudden behavior)

Alex: Okay, see ya, bye.

After reaching their class, Ellie asks Ariza why she suddenly wanted to leave, even though they had plenty of time before their class started.

Ellie: Ariza, did you see how those girls from Aryan's batch were glaring at us? I think we should keep some distance from them. You know how famous they are in college, and if girls see us with them, we might make unnecessary enemies.

I also told you about this day when you didn't come to college. Aryan and I were sitting in the library, and girls from Aryan's batch came there too.

Ariza: I think you're right. We don't need unnecessary trouble, especially since we still have a long time before completing our degrees.

Ellie: Yeah, anyway, let's continue discussing our classwork.

Ariza: Sure, so I was saying...

They continued with their classwork.

On the other side, Alex asks Aryan if he noticed anything.

Alex: Aryan, did you notice anything about Ellie's behavior after those girls left?

Aryan: What do you mean?

Alex: Ellie's nature changed suddenly after those girls left.

Aryan: Yeah, I was thinking the same. Anyway, let's forget about it; our class is about to start. Let's go out somewhere.

Alex: Okay, let's go.

Aryan changed the topic, but he was still wondering what had suddenly happened to Ellie.

The two of them went out of the college.

After college: Ariza and Ellie went back home.

After Ellie freshened up and had a video call with her family for a long time, someone knocked on her room door...
