"But how did your love story start?" Piya asked.

"Yeah, when did you two meet?" Naveen asked.

"You people are very much excited to know about our love story, right." Armaan chuckled.

"Very much. I mean we all are actually shocked that how did that fellow found love, found you in her life. And that too after knowing the previous part of her life story, we are really very much eager to know about her love story now." Naina said.

"Okay then, listen to the next part."

Armaan continued:

After that she went back to the orphanage and they funded her education. As she was good in studies and a topper, so because of a scholarship provided to her she came to St. Louis College at Dehradun, and that was where I met her for the first time. When she came, she was still that sweet and simple girl she used to be. No attitude, no over-confidence, too friendly. But that doesn't mean that she had a huge friend circle. Ridhhima and I were in the same class and also we were project partners. That was how we became friends, doing projects and assignments together. Sadhna and I were childhood friends. We had known each other from when we had been in our nappies. Ridhhima and Sadhna's first meet was not very cool. Sadhna belonged to a very rich family. Her father was our college's trustee. And so, everyone respected Sadhna too much. She too liked to boast off. She carried a attitude, which at first I thought, was because of the love she used to get, but no I was wrong . She was proud of her status and the money she had. Nothing was more important to her than her status and money. She did love me, her childhood best friend, but she loved her money much more. Sadhna had her own parking slot where she parked her very costly car. One day when Sadhna came she saw her parking slot was already occupied. Her anger was at the peak. Then the whole was asked to search to whom the bike belonged which was parked at her parking slot. Ridhhima was called out. She came, and as I said she was a rebellious character, she didn't bowed down her self- respect in front of Sadhna. She too was adamant that she couldn't see Sadhna's name written anywhere near the parking slot and so she was going to park her bike there only. Ridhhima and Sadhna were exact opposites. If Sadhna was fire, then Ridhhima was water. They liked whatever the other hated the most. Till now I couldn't understand how did they became the best of friends. One day, Ridhhima helped Sadhna out of something and that was the beginning of their friendship. They were like soul sisters. If one of them got hurt, the other one also got hurt. If one was happy, then the other one was automatically happy. They could not live away from each other. They could do anything to be together. Their friendship was such that sometimes even I got jealous of their love for each other. Sadhna was like a rock for others but in front of Ridhhima she was just like sand that easily got melted. Ridhhima used to be very sweet to everyone. But when it was about Sadhna, she was like a Rowdy sister. They could do anything for each other.

Ridhhima was dating a boy who happened to be our senior, Rahul Sehgal. He was a nice guy as much as we knew about him but had anger issues. Ridhhima fell in love with him, but not for his looks. According to her, he was a very nice man who loved to help others. But I noticed that he was like a double-faced person. In front of Ridhhima, he used to be the sweet and helping guy and on the other times, I felt like he was a complete different personality. As if he use to swipe personalities. But Ridhhima was already in his trap, and he too made so many promises to her that she could not doubt him. At last, he asked her to get married to him just after one year of their relationship. She, at first ignored and rejected the proposal. But after that, he emotionally blackmailed her questioning about her love for him. At which she was defeated. Sadhna was very much happy that her best friend was getting married. But I was still against the decision. I mean she was my best friend too, and I didn't like the idea of her getting married so soon and being called as only someone's wife. She would not have her own identity. She was made to do something more bigger.
