As the semester rolled on, Aarohi found small joys in their silent connection. Sometimes Vivaan would hold the door open for her without even realizing it was her. Other times, he would hand her a pen she dropped without a second thought. These little moments were treasures Aarohi tucked away in her heart, replaying them like her favorite song.

But reality was not always so kind.
Vivaan, with his charming smile and magnetic energy, was surrounded by friends — especially girls who were confident, stylish, and outspoken. Aarohi, with her simple kurtis and quiet laughter, often felt invisible next to them. It wasn't jealousy that gripped her; it was fear — fear of being left unnoticed, fear of losing a dream she never even had the courage to chase.
During the college festival, Aarohi saw Vivaan laughing and sharing an ice cream with a girl named Rhea — the prettiest girl in their department. Aarohi's heart sank painfully, but she kept her smile intact, laughing with her friends even as her soul crumbled quietly inside.
That night, Aarohi sat by her window, staring at the stars.
"Am I foolish to hope?" she wondered.
"Maybe people like me are made only to watch, not to be a part of such beautiful stories."
Still, deep inside, she couldn't stop her heart from wishing — wishing that maybe, someday, Vivaan would notice the girl who loved him from behind her textbooks.
That he would see beyond the crowd and find her standing quietly at the edge, loving him more genuinely than anyone ever could.
Life went on. Assignments, projects, exams. Aarohi and Vivaan remained distant acquaintances — two parallel lines running close but never meeting.
Until one day, fate decided to play a different game.
