" Will you become our friend?" hearing it. Arya froze on her place. Friend the word which felt familiar but very unfamiliar to her. The past from which Arya is running away plays infront of her eyes like a broken record . A lump forms in Arya's throat as she turn around to face Diya and Anirudh .

They smiled looking at her waiting for her answer. Arya fake smile at them ofcourse she didn't want them to know about her and sat on the nearby table .

" How can I make friends after that incident? How i can i trust them? " She thought to her self

" Hmm, why do want to become my friends ? Iam just a new student, a mere stranger?" Arya questioned them

" Why ? don't you want to make friends here?" Instead of replying Diya asked her and she nodded

" Why? Is there any problem? Everyone wants to make new friends. In their life" Anirudh asked her

" Hmm, you know I have trust issues, iam a introvert, I am a chubby girl, I am not a person who hangs out. These are the problems and no one wants to have a friend like me" why would anyone want become friend of a girl who has a terrible past. Arya said to them and wishpered the last part. In return they just smiled at her.

" What ? Why are you both smiling? It's okay if you change your mind, i can understand, everyone does the same" Arya uttered as her overthinking kicks on. Diya looked at her for a few minutes and said

" You are perfect Arya, we don't know why you have trust issues but just give us a little space in your life and about trust we will gain it with the time , we both are introvert too , we don't hang out too , just like you that's the reason we are bestfriend's since childhood and being chubby means you are healthy there is no bad in it" as Diya completed,

Arya's eyes filled with tears, no said these things to her. Everyone just abused her, make fun of her for being chubby . This is the first time in her whole life someone, that too a mere stranger who she just met few minutes ago said these words to her, they didn't even know her properly. Arya was a selfless girl all her life she thought people are joking even though they are disrespecting her. They even said she was a selfish girl, gold digger and many more which hurted her but she let it go. But one day she got to know truth and then her life changed.

So this time Arya thought to become selfish for once in her life and she accepted to become their friend.

" I will become your friend" as she said they hugged her. Meanwhile Diya and Anirudh are on could 20 as she accepted to become their friend. Little did Arya know that this decision is going to change her life completely. Whether it is for good or for bad.

They talked for some more time , Arya said that she is looking for a place to stay and Diya offer her to stay with her in her penthouse. Arya thought about it for some time and accepted it. They changed their number and then leave for their respective places.

On the other side...........

At verma mansion

The Verma mansion is decorated beautiful to celebrate the birthday day of Samuel Verma. He is the head of the house and the oldest member . Meanwhile his wife Ruth Verma is ordering every worker to make everything perfect . Then she saw her husband sneaking into kitchen to eat his favourite gulab jamun but his bad luck that his wife caught him red-handed.

" What are doing here?" Ruth asked him standing behind him. Samuel slowly turned to his wife and smiled and said" nothing, just wanted to check on my wife" Ruth just rolled her eyes at her husband. And asked " here from the kitchen?"

" Haa, you know yaha iss angle se dekhu toh bohot sundar lagti ho" Samuel wishpered in her making the old lady go red and she glared at her husband.

It's been years to their marriage, their children got married and even their grandchildren are in the age to get married but Samuel never stopped showing his love for her.

Dev, Alice, Paras and saniya smiled looking at their little banter—romance.

" Everyone come, the party is going to start!" Aayush said grabbing every ones attention and they nodded.

The birthday party stared long ago as the Verma's has 2 big companies, there are so many guests will attend the party and soon the elders got busy in attending the guests. After that Samuel cut the cake then everyone had a few business talks then they had dinner and the party came to an end.

🍁🍁

After the party ,The siblings are sitting together in terrace while taking about how their day went today . It's a daily ritual between them, they share every little thing with each other. Anirudh cleared his throat taking every one's attention

" Guys I made a new friend today , she is good, and our class mate too" as he completed, Harika asked him

" Is she beautiful?"

" Yes, she is." anirudh replied

" Then why didn't you fell in love with her? Vese toh road Pe Jane Vali haar ladki pe crush hota hai tuhe " Harika asked him sarcastically and Anirudh glared at her while everyone troubling to Stop their laugh.

" Vo, alag hai,and mujhe har ladki pe crush nahi hai bus apni anatomy mam par hai." anirudh said with a little blush while Aayush throw a pillow at him and the others looked at him in disgust.

" So, when are you going to introduce her to us?" Aayush asked him diverting the topic as he knows they are not going to stop their fight

" Soon Bhai, as for now she is shifting with Diya . So she don't have time ." he replied and everyone nodded

In all this Avyansh was lost in his own world thinking about the girl he met today. She is beautiful, with her long hair, black eyes, button nose, plumpy pink lips and last but not least her cute chubby cheeks. Simply he was just mesmerized by her.

Love was never his thing but after meeting her, he had a weird feeling in his heart, his heart started beating as she looked into his eyes. Never in his life he had feelings for any girl but her just one glimpse makes his heart beat fast. no one literally no one make his heart race but she did in just a mere meeting.

Little did he know that he fell in love with her, he has feelings for her but,his brain is not accepting the fact that he fell in love, however his heart says otherwise.

it was just a coincidence that they met , he didn't know her name, hell, he didn't know anything about her except her dark pitch black eyes,even in a large crowd of people he can recognise her eyes.

" Bhai..." Avyansh came out of his thoughts as Ankush called him and everyone looked at him in concern as he was not responding to their word's.

"Hmm"

" Is everything okay, you look like you are lost somewhere?" He asked

" Nothing, iam just exhausted, will go and take rest." Avyansh lied smoothly, it's not like , he didn't wanted his siblings know that he has started to feel for a girl whom he just met few hours ago but at first he just wanted to know about her and then he will tell everything to them after clarifying that is it love he is feeling or something else. Sensing his low voice everyone nodded and stood up to go to their respective room's.
