It was a typical day in my second year of graduation. The atmosphere in the college was buzzing with the usual mix of excitement and routine. I had always been an active participant in extracurricular activities, and one of the things that drew me in was the National Cadet Corps (NCC). The discipline and structure of the NCC had always intrigued me, so I enrolled eagerly.

On this particular day, I was with my good friend Sarthak, who had been given the responsibility to gather information about the new cadets for the upcoming recruitment. I was just there to keep him company, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. But fate had other plans.

While Sarthak was busy with his work, I casually picked up his phone and began scrolling through the profiles of the new recruits in our NCC WhatsApp group. That’s when I saw her picture. Trisha. Her smile immediately captivated me, and her eyes held a depth I had never noticed before. I couldn’t help but stare, mesmerized. In that moment, something inside me clicked. I knew I had to know her, but I never imagined how much she would end up meaning to me.

I secretly noted down her number and added her on Snapchat. Little did I know, this small, seemingly insignificant action would change my life forever
