AUTHOR'S POV
Days turned into months, and Vanika and Reyansh had grown closer. The awkwardness of their initial encounters was now replaced with comfort and understanding. After that incident, Reyansh made it a habit to text her every evening after their classes.
"Did you reach home safe?" his messages would pop up without fail.
At first, Vanika found it odd. Why was he doing this? Why was he so invested? But she never asked. Somewhere deep down, she had started liking his care and attention. His concern felt genuine, a rare warmth she hadn't expected
It had now become a part of Vanika's daily routine to reply to Reyansh's messages. "Yes, I reached home safe,".
Sometimes, she would even catch herself waiting for his text, smiling softly when his message appeared on her screen. It wasn't just about the words anymore—it was about the care they carried. In a world that often felt chaotic, Reyansh's small gesture was her pocket of calm.
Still, a lingering worry remained in the back of her mind. The memory of that incident haunted her, and the thought that those boys were out of jail now only added to her unease. But with Reyansh around, she felt a little safer, even if she didn't fully understand why.
After Vanika accidentally caught Aryan and Riya in the café, they decided it was time to come clean. Later, in their usual group hangout, Aryan and Riya revealed that they had been in a relationship for the past three years. They had met online, and until now, had kept it a secret. Their confession left the group surprised, but it also made things clearer.

As the Chemistry class was about to end, Vanika raised her hand, hoping to ask a doubt. "Sir, I have a question about the topic..."
The teacher, already packing up his things, glanced at her and replied, "I covered this topic yesterday when you were absent. You can ask Reyansh or Aditya, they'll explain it to you."
Vanika's shoulders slumped slightly. "Okay, sir," she replied quietly as he quickly left the class.
As she looked around, her eyes met Reyansh's, and she found him already looking at her, his gaze fixed. For a moment, the world seemed to slow down. He smiled a little, that familiar warmth lighting up his face. Vanika couldn't help but smile back, the brief exchange a silent understanding between them.
Vanika stood up from her seat and made her way toward Reyansh's bench. But just as she was about to reach him, Aditya suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her to a halt. She turned to face him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"What are you doing, Aditya?" Vanika asked, trying to hide the unease in her voice.
Aditya smirked, unfazed. "Don't you want to know this topic? Sir told me to explain it to you," he said, his grip still on her hand.
