Will you be my forever

Part 1

COLLEGE CAMPUS - DAY

Aradhya, looking a bit lost, walks around the bustling campus with a map in hand. She's trying to find the student center but is clearly struggling.

Aradhya(muttering to herself, frustrated)"Where is this place? I'm going to be late..."Just as she's about to give up, she spots Rajeev and Shreya standing nearby. She hesitates, then approaches them for help.

Aradhya(politely, with a hopeful smile)"Excuse me, could you help me find the student center? I'm new here and a bit lost."

RAJEEV(smiling warmly)"Of course! We were just heading that way. Come with us."

Aradhya sighs in relief and follows them, feeling grateful. As they walk, they chat casually, and a bond begins to form.

SHREYA(cheerfully)"It's your first day, right? Don't worry, you'll get the hang of things soon."

Aradhya(smiling)"Thanks. You guys are lifesavers."They reach the student center, and Aradhya thanks them again. Just then, Shreya glances at her phone and realizes they have to leave.

SHREYA(regretfully)"Sorry, Aradhya, we've got to run. But we'll catch up later, okay?"

RAJEEV(nodding)"Yeah, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything else."

Aradhya waves goodbye as they leave. She looks around the student center for a moment before realizing the time.

Aradhya(panicking)"Oh no, I'm late!"

She quickly gathers her things and rushes out, running down the hallways. In her hurry, she accidentally bumps into Tanishq. She quickly apologized and rushed off, but Tanishq couldn't take his eyes off her-it was love at first sight. Tanishq wanted to ask her name, but before he could, she was already gone. However, he noticed that she had dropped her bracelet.

Later, when Tanishq entered his class, he was shocked to see her sitting there. He approached her, handed her the bracelet, and said hi. Everyone, especially the girls, was surprised 😲, as Tanishq had never spoken so kindly to a girl before-he usually didn't give any attention to other girls.

Tanishq took his seat, and everyone kept staring at him, but he ignored them. Throughout the lecture, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Tanishq didn't realize it, but he had never felt this way before-he had never been in love. As the class was about to end, Tanishq realized he hadn't understood a word of the lecture because he had been staring at her the whole time.

After class, Shreya and Rajeev asked Aradhya if she would like to be their friend, and she agreed. Meanwhile, Tanishq was playing basketball. Aradhya became good friends with them, and they all went to the canteen together.

Aradhya wanted to thank Tanishq for returning her bracelet, but she didn't know his name or where to find him. She found out that he was playing basketball, so she went to watch him. Seeing him play, she was a little impressed because she liked basketball too.

After the game, Tanishq noticed her, and she gestured for him to come over. She thanked him, and Tanishq asked for her name, introducing himself as well-the beginning of their friendship.

One day, as Aradhya, Rajeev, and Shreya were heading to class, Tanishq suddenly appeared in front of Aradhya, shook her hand, and said hi with a little smile 😊 on his face. Everyone was shocked, the girls were jealous, and everyone was watching them. Shreya whispered to Aradhya that they looked good together.

Tanishq overheard Shreya's comment but didn't react outwardly; he just smiled to himself.Later, Aradhya was passing by the basketball court and saw Tanishq playing. She started cheering for him, and everyone, including Tanishq, noticed. Tanishq smiled at her, but when she realized everyone was watching her, she felt embarrassed and left.

She then sat in the canteen. Tanishq came and sat beside her, teasing her about how well she cheered. It was the first time Tanishq laughed so much 😂. Aradhya got angry and left.

Tanishq realized he had made her upset, and he didn't know how to apologize. Aradhya started ignoring him, and Tanishq felt bad about it. During lunch, Tanishq called her aside, pinned her against the wall, got a little close, and whispered sorry in her ear. Both their heartbeats raced 💓, and Tanishq quickly walked away, leaving Aradhya processing what had just happened-Tanishq had never apologized to anyone in college before.

Rajeev, Shreya, and Aradhya were having lunch together when Tanishq came and sat beside Aradhya. Everyone was shocked because Tanishq always preferred to have lunch alone and never let anyone join him.

Rumors started spreading in college that Tanishq and Aradhya were dating, and all the girls began feeling jealous of Aradhya.

The girls started behaving rudely with her for days, and it upset her. Tanishq noticed all of this. One day, the girls bothered Aradhya so much in class that she got up and left. Tanishq saw her leave and followed her.

Tanishq tried to stop her, and when she stood quietly in a corner, he comforted her, telling her not to listen to those mean people. He made her smile by saying that a beautiful face like hers
should always be smiling 😊. Then, he asked her if she would like to go for tea.

They went to a shop in front of the college to have tea, and it started raining ☔. Aradhya went out to play in the rain despite Tanishq's warning. She played like a little kid, and Tanishq watched her with a smile, laughing.

After the rain stopped, Aradhya started feeling cold, and she had caught a cold too. Tanishq began scolding her for getting wet in the rain. Aradhya put her finger on his lips and told him to stop talking so much. She noticed that Tanishq became a little sad, so she quickly added that whatever he said, it was always good. Tanishq smiled at this.

Then Tanishq told her to go home, rest, and take some medicine.

Aradhya went home, but her condition worsened because she hadn't taken any medicine. She had a fever and didn't come to college the next day, which made Tanishq worry. He asked Shreya for Aradhya's address and went straight to her house after college.

Tanishq rang the doorbell, and when Aradhya opened the gate, she was shocked 😲 to see him there. She asked why he was there, and Tanishq said he was worried about her, so he came to check on her. He entered the house and saw a thermometer lying around. He asked if she had a fever, and she nodded. Then Tanishq asked if she had taken any medicine the previous day. She was silent, and Tanishq understood that she hadn't.

He began scolding her, but Aradhya enjoyed listening to his scolding because she had feelings for him too, though she was confused about them.

Then, Tanishq gave her the medicine.

To distract her, Tanishq and Aradhya watched a movie together, played games, and had fun 🎮.

After that day, Tanishq started having lunch with Shreya, Rajeev, and Aradhya regularly because Tanishq and Aradhya had become close friends.

The group planned a trip during the college break and went to a hill station 🏞️. By the time they arrived, it was already evening, so they couldn't go out.

They decided to play truth or dare instead. While playing, the bottle stopped at Aradhya, and Shreya asked her, "Do you like someone?" Aradhya said yes, and the smile on Tanishq's face faded because he had feelings for her. Tanishq didn't know that Aradhya was talking about him—he thought she was talking about someone else. From that moment on, whenever Aradhya called out to him, Tanishq either ignored her or gave dry replies, and seeing this change in his behavior hurt Aradhya, but she didn't say anything.
The next day, they all went trekking. Rajeev, Shreya, and Tanishq were a bit ahead, and Aradhya told Tanishq to wait for a minute while she tied her shoelaces, or she might fall. But Tanishq was listening to music 🎧 and didn't hear her, so he kept walking.
When Aradhya looked up, she couldn't see Shreya, Rajeev, or Tanishq, and she started to panic 😨. Her phone was dead, so she couldn't call anyone.
Later, Shreya asked Tanishq where Aradhya was. Tanishq thought she was right behind him, but when he turned around, she wasn't there, and he became tense.
As the evening approached, Aradhya was still missing, and Tanishq grew more and more worried, fearing that he might lose her forever.
Aradhya kept moving forward, calling out to everyone, but she had no water, and she started to feel dehydrated.

Tanishq found a ring that belonged to Aradhya and figured out which direction she had gone in.

Aradhya was on the verge of fainting from dehydration when Tanishq suddenly appeared and caught her. However, she fainted, so Tanishq carried her back to the resort in a bridal style, worried that something might happen to her.

Back at the resort, Tanishq sprinkled water on her face, and she regained consciousness. Then Tanishq hugged her tightly.
Seeing this, Shreya and Rajeev left the room to give them some privacy.
Tanishq thought Aradhya had fallen asleep, so he confessed all his feelings, thinking she couldn't hear him. But Aradhya was awake the whole time.

As Tanishq was about to leave the room, he realized that Aradhya was holding his hand She opened her eyes and asked, "Was everything you said true?" 😳 Tanishq was shocked but quietly said yes. Then he added, "But it doesn't matter because you already like someone else." 😔 Aradhya laughed and said, "You fool, that person is you!" 😄❤️ Then Tanishq hugged her again. 🫂

This marks the beginning of Tanishq and Aradhya's dating stage. ❤️
