"I am sorry. I am sorry I am in a hurry," she apologized when she crashed into a human wall in her clumsiness.
"It's fine," he said and turned his heels around to leave the place, but her meek yet hesitant voice made him stop in his tracks.
"Hmm... Can you tell me where is freshers hall?" she asked lowering her head as she clutched her shoulder straps tightly while looking at him with her small almond eyes making his heart skip a beat.
"Follow me," he said she nodded. Soon they reached the freshers' hall.
Giving a small smile to him, she went to an empty seat and settled there, while he went to the boys' side and sat in his seat. But unknown to her, the eyes of a certain person remained on her whole time.
He watched her every action which amused him. She is clumsy, stupid yet she looked cute. Her actions caught his eye as she stole his heart but only to be broken.

"Pritam, You have to help me in finding his feelings towards me," Shristi requested him, making his heart bleed in pain and agony. Gulping the lump that formed in his throat, he said, "I will,"
"Thank you. Ok bye. It's getting late," she said and left. Breaking his heart into million pieces. Indeed, it's late for him. If he said his feelings earlier, if he was close to her, if he was outspoken with her, maybe he would be the whom she loved. But it's already late.
In the game of time and fate, would she recognize his love?
If she does, would there be any obstacles?
Can their love meet the skies?
To know the answers read the story of Pritam Gupta along with his clumsy beauty Shirsti Sharma.
[Slow Burn]
It all started when she began to like him.
She had a tendency to push people away-not because she hated herself, but to test if they'd care enough to stay. And when she started liking him, she did what she did best: she acted cold, rude, and distant.
He didn't understand it then.
And their teenage years turned into a whirlwind of confusion, ego, and unspoken feelings.
Twelve years later, when fate brought them face-to-face again-
The storm they left behind was nothing compared to the one they were about to create.
