When She Falls For Him: A Love Worth Dying For

CHAPTER-13

THIRD PERSON'S POV:-

When Nidhi saw Kanika rushing out, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Please wear something nicer! You know your fashion sense isn't the best." Kanika shrugged and replied, "We're just going to coaching, not a fashion show or to impress anyone! Come on, let's go!"..

As Kanika shuffled out of her house, still half-asleep, her outfit reflected her sleepy state. The dark blue skinny jeans hugged her legs, while the white t-shirt felt comfortable and easy. She threw on a sea green coat to ward off the morning chill, and her shoes were the most practical choice she could find.

Her hair was in a messy braid, a reflection of her rushed morning, and her glasses perched on her nose, adding a touch of focus despite her drowsiness. Makeup was a distant thought; she preferred to embrace her natural look today.

They reached coaching, even though it was a holiday. Despite that, many students had come in for self-study, creating a buzz of focused energy. After sitting for half an hour, Nidhi suddenly stood up and announced, "Okay, let's go!"

Kanika, still trying to wake up, interrupted. "Why? What's the rush?"

Nidhi's eyes sparkled with excitement. "There's a surprise for you!"

A flutter of anticipation stirred in Kanika's chest. Could it be? Her intuition hinted at something special-maybe she'd run into Nirvaan. Trying to mask her eagerness, she shot back, "What are you acting so desperate for? We're not going to see Nirvaan, are we?"

Nidhi just grinned, keeping the mystery alive. "You'll find out soon!"

Kanika had never bunked classes before, but today felt different. A sense of mischief tugged at her as she followed Nidhi, even though a small voice in her head insisted she was making a mistake.

After a few steps, they reached a park, and there, sitting on his scooty, was Nirvaan. Kanika's heart raced as she spotted him from a distance. The sight sent a wave of nerves through her, and she felt a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Nidhi, noticing her reaction, nudged her playfully. "So, how's this for a surprise?"

But Kanika's confidence wavered. "No, I don't want to meet him," she said quickly, a hint of panic in her voice. "Let's just go... please."

Nidhi looked at Kanika, eyes wide with disbelief. "Have you gone crazy? He came just to meet you! Let's talk to him, please!"

Kanika's anxiety bubbled over as she shook her head. "Are you crazy? Do you really think I can meet him like this? He'll think I'm a total mess! Look at me-my clothes are so basic, and my hair is a disaster. I didn't even shower yet!"

She ran a hand through her messy braid, feeling self-conscious. "I'm going to look like a total fool! You know what they say-first impressions are lasting impressions. What if he thinks I can't take care of myself?"

Nidhi rolled her eyes but smiled gently. "Kanika, you're overthinking it! Nirvaan isn't going to judge you. He likes you for who you are, not what you look like. Just be yourself!"

Kanika sighed, torn between her insecurities and her desire to see him. "But what if he thinks I'm not good enough?"

"Stop it! You're amazing just as you are. Trust me, he'll appreciate your authenticity," Nidhi replied, her tone encouraging. "Let's just go say hi. You'll feel better once you do!"

Taking a deep breath, Kanika tried to silence her doubts. Maybe Nidhi was right. After all, what did she have to lose? "Okay, fine. But you're coming with me!" she said, mustering up a small smile.
