/* In the evening Arjun is sitting in the cafe with Rey as usual. Hiya approaches him and he is surprised to see her again. Her confidence reflects in her voice. She is wearing blue jeans with a white tee and black leather jacket. */

Hiya- Hi Arjun.

Arjun- You here?

Hiya- I wanted to ask you something.

Arjun- What?

Hiya- Can you be my friend?

/* Arjun is surprised to hear that and smiles at her. Rey finds Arjun is smiling after a long time. He offers Hiya a chair. */

Hiya- Thanks Rey. I understand your consent Arjun. For now how about a coffee?

(Arjun nods.)

Hiya- Thanks so now since we are friends, will you help me with the lessons? I don't understand anything. Please, I need your help.

Arjun- Okay but for now I need to go.

Hiya- Bye.

/* Arjun and Rey go their room. Rey wanted to know the reason for Arjun's behavior and decided to ask him. */

Rey- Arjun who was that girl?

Arjun- She is the new joiner you spoke about.

Rey- Oh what is her name?

Arjun- Name? I don't know I didn't mind to ask it.

Rey- and you minded to accept her friendship?

Arjun- The way she asked was like a...

Rey- How was it? Different? For me it looked normal.

Arjun- You don't know leave it. I have to study.

Rey- So much study for what?

Arjun- I need to work a lot. A lot to forget all that happened.

/* The conversation ends there. Rey wanted Arjun to be happy again and he thought Hiya could change him. Rey meets Hiya the next day and learns that she has a crush on Arjun. He decides to help her in getting closer to Arjun and they become friends. Rey doesn't say anything about Arohi to her as it would lessen her hopes. Since Arjun promised to befriend her he talked to her a few times. He is surprised because Hiya was very different from Arohi but somehow she always said the same things as her. This made Arjun want to talk to her more as he felt better by listening those similar words again from her. Soon she became his best friend. 

Hiya thinks that Arjun likes her too but is disappointed as he never proposes her. She rejects a lot of good guys for him but he never seemed to bring up the topic. She decides to wait for him. Now Arjun had changed a little,he talked more but only with her. To other people he was still cold. He was always studying and preferred staying alone. Sometimes just to know whether he liked her or not Hiya asks him out and he never refuses her. This kept her hopes alive. In this manner 4 years pass by and all three of them return to India with their Civil Engg. degree. Arjun topped the university in the final semester too like he did in most of the exams. They come to Arjun's house and are warmly received by his parents.*/
