Shrivastav Mansion
10.00 pm

Trisha was sitting in her room and was lost in deep thoughts that's when deetya came in with some chips in her hand and tried to cheer up her but it didn't work.

Deetya said,
"Trisha how long are you gonna think about those boys just forget it, they aren't even worth your time."

Trisha replied,
"No deee, I am not thinking about them I am thinking about..... " and then remembered the time when aarav was punching that guy hard and the time when he couldn't define why he was so affected.

Deetya asked Trisha to interrupt her thoughts,
"About?"
"About Aarav. He.... He was so angry and didn't even though twice before getting into it. what if those boys would have hurt him? What if any faculty member saw him fighting? What if ..... ".

Deetya came and held Trisha with both of her shoulders and said,
"Trishh... Bas.... Don't panic! Nothing of this has happened but the thing that you said about aarav being so Possessive and protective about you, the whole college saw that literally everyone and the thing i saw in his eyes was not just friendship."

"Dee plz you know na aisa kuch nhi hai we are just... "

"Friends? Like really Trisha? Please stop lying to yourself. Even Taksh and I had a talk about this and we both think that you two look good together."

Trisha was in deep thoughts about what deetya said and that's when her phone rang, it was aarav.
She took a deep breath before picking up the call.

Trisha said in a mere wisper,
"Hello?"
She heard a deep breath from the other side and aarav said,
"Trisha...... Can you please come down for a while? I am just in front of your house."

"Aarav it's already 11.30 pm.What if anyone saw us?"

"Trisha just 10 min I promise."

Trisha agreed and deetya told her to go. Trisha went outside the gate and at a little distance she saw aarav, he was standing near his car with his back resting on the car.

As soon as he saw Trisha he moved a bit towards her.

Aarav asked,
"Are you ok? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Trisha replied,
"No no I am all fine in fact I was about to ask you the same.. " And she saw the wound aarav had on his right hand.
She moved closer holding his hand and said,
"Aarav you are hurt, why didn't you tell me? Come I'll apply an ointment on it."

"It's fine, it's nothing much."

"Shhh.. There was a first aid in the car right let me get it for you."

She did the dressing on his hand and the whole time aarav was just admiring her.

"It's done! Aarav... I think you should go now it's too late."
"Ya..."

He was about to turn back but called Trisha again and said,
"Trisha... I need a hug.... Please."

Trisha was too nervous but this wasn't the first time right! She just hugged him in the evening in front of everyone.

Trisha moved closer to aarav with tender steps and rested her head on his chest. Aarav pulled her into a tight hug and kissed the top of her hair and said, "Please don't get yourself hurt, I can't stand that" And left her.

Trisha came up and told deetya about whatever happened.

Deetya said, " Trisha... Why don't you guys get it that you are in love for God's sake just accept it."
