Same day-

Arya along with Diya baked different types of cookies, cake,cupcakes and the last brownie.

Diya looked at them in astonishment and her mouth water immediately looking at the tempting brownies.

“ Woah, Arya you are amazing!!” Diya said as she took a bite of the freshly baked brownie.

“ By the way, where do you learn baking and cooking?They taste like the professional ones in the restaurant,” Diya asked, surprised by Arya's cooking skills.

Arya smiled at her as she recalled her sweet memories with her siblings, meanwhile Diya was looking at her being curious about her answer.

" You know, when I was 12 years old, Rishi was born. so, as a ritual mumma went to Nani's house after her delivery .Me and my sister and papa along with dadi stayed at home. Kabhi, kabhi bohot bhukh lagti thi, and we were not allowed to eat outside food at that time.

So not having any other choice, I started to learn how to cook for me and my sister. That's how my cooking journey started" Arya said recalling those beautiful memories of her life and Diya nodded at her being impressed.

Diya was about to pick up another brownie but a sharp slap landed on her hand making her Stop. Diya looked at the person who was glaring at her “kya?”

“ Kya? Kya? First eat lunch then brownie” Arya said in a tone which she only uses for her siblings.

Diya looked at her in disbelief as she said “ek maa, kafi hai mere liye. Tum bhi maa mat bano” Diya made a pout trying to change Arya's mind but In return she only got angry glares.

Finally she gave up as Arya served the vegetable rice in two plates and they both started eating. Diya was thinking about a basketball match which is going to happen in the evening. She wanted to invite Arya to come with her but she was unsure if she would came or not.

Finally gathering some courage Diya finally asked her" hmm, Arya?" Arya looked up at Diya from her phone and Diya continued " are you free in the evening?" Diya asked hesitantly, and Arya nodded her head but got choked on hearing her next words"mere saath basketball match dekhne chaloge? " Arya immediately shook her head in a negative way, making Diya's face fall.

Arya was scared of crowds.

After that incident everything changed.

She became a touch me, not a plant person. She has had social anxiety from childhood but it got worse after that incident.

whenever someone comes near her other than her family she used to get scared.

And now Diya is asking her to come with her to see a match where thousands of people will be present and after seeing them her anxiety will surely kick in, and she will lose her control of her body and her condition will get worse then everyone gets to know about her past.

And Arya doesn't want that.

So she refused Diya .

Arya observed Diya's reaction and felt bad for her behavior towards Diya.

"Diya don't be sad ,okay! Meri shakal to dekho. Pure face pe rashes hai, haath pe rashes hai, neck pe hai. Kaise bhar aaunga Mai aise. Sab hasenge mujhpe !" Arya said, showing her face which is covered by rashes. Trying to divert her mood but who she is kidding it's Diya sen.

Diya knows that it was just an excuse for not going out . She wanted Arya to open up to her and she knows that it is just the beginning of their friendship and she needs time, Diya knows that Arya is scared of something that's why refused but Diya being Diya,she is not going to give up.

" Mai toh tumhe bahar le jake rahungi" Diya vowed to herself and took the plates inside the kitchen . After washing the dishes she called a person who she knows Arya will never refuse ."Hello, Bhai?. Can you do me a favour?" She asked the person and he agreed to help her.

Arya was in her room watching her favorite k-dramas on her ipad when her phone started to ring. She looked at the caller and saw an unknown number thinking that it was a spam call, she ignored it, and again she engaged in watching her dramas.

After sometime her phone buzzed again making her irritated. she looked at the caller and it was from the same number, being annoyed with the continuous calling Arya answered the call pausing her drama.

“ Hello?” Arya asked but there was no reply, from the other side.

she thinned her eyebrows and asked in irritation “ if you don't want to talk mister? then why the hell did you call me?” she waited for an answer but in return she only got the sound of heavy breathing.

Being super annoyed Arya said “i'm hanging up,and thank you for spoiling my already bad mood” she was about to hang up then finally the other person spoke making her heart beat race

“ it's me Arya, Avyansh" Arya blinked her eyes and pushed her face in pillow being embarrassed.

" yaar, ye maine kya bol diya?" She thought to herself.

" Hello? Arya, are you there?" Avyansh asked her and she nodded.

" If you are nodding then I can't see you,so speak" Arya's cheeks turn red in embarrassment.

"Yes, why did you call? Wait!! How did you get my number? She asked him shocked.

" I have my ways, by the way did i disturbed you?” He asked his voice apologetically.

“ Arey, nahi. Naya number thana isiliye ignore Kar rahi thi” Arya said and he hummed.

“By the way, please attend the evening's match okay. Because I am playing”

saying that he hangs up making her lost in thoughts .

"He invited me personally? But why?” she thought and instantly her cheeks turned red at the thought.

“ Wait!! Did he get to know who my father is ??” Arya gasped, her eyes widened at the thought.

“ Nahi, nahi aisa nahi ho sakta” she assured her.

“ Right, aise nahi ho sakta. Par ab bulaya hai toh Jana padega” she said to herself.

“Par diya ko tho reject Kiya tha tumne” her subconscious said making her close her eyes

Ignoring her subconscious she instantly messaged Diya that she would come with her. Diya who was waiting for her notification,read the message and patted her shoulder in a proud manner as her little plan worked .

Diya knows that Arya will never refuse Avyansh. As she has a crush on him however Arya didn't realize it yet .

The Verma brother's alongwith Arush and karan are getting ready for the basketball match against their biggest rival Rakshit Shergill and his team. It is an important match for them because if they lose the match they will lose the hospital too. Rakshit always wanted to be a popular head boy in both school and college but he couldn't because of Avyansh.

Since Avyansh is more handsome and smarter than him in college/ school . Avyansh always secures first place in every exam whereas Rakshit is always second. It always fueled him that Avyansh is way better than him. Rakshit's father always assaulted him for being in second place and as a result he is jealous of Avyansh and wanted to take away the hospital which is very dear to him And he made a plan to defeat him.

" We have to win this match. No matter what happens!" Anirudh said looking at his brother's. But no one paid heed to his words and concentrated on their workout session.

Anirudh looked at them in disbelief and then he smirked as an idea struck his mind" we will defeat that bastard Rakshit, i mean how dare he? Usne Arya ko cheda!" Now this caught everyone's attention and their heads instantly snapped at him.

A little invisible smile formed on his face as he looked at his brother's whose face turned hard.He knows that in this short time span his brother started to treat Arya like their own sister and she became a important person to them.

" What the hell are you saying?" Avyansh asked him while fisting his hand.

“Kuch nahi, aap log apna kam karo” Anirudh said with a tight lipped smile only to earn many angry glares from his brother's. Anirudh gulped before saying " Vo, sorry Mai batana bhul gaya tha. It was Arya's first day in college and Rakshit tried to bully her by taking her phone first and then her bag" the brothers clenched their jaws and fisted their hands.

" Wait .it means uss din vo phone wala incident Rakshit ne hi karwaya tha?" Arush uttered shockingly. Everyone thinned their eyebrows except Avyansh and Karan

" What incident?" Aayush asked, looking at his twin.

" You remember, kal Arya Ghar pe aayi thi and I asked her if she remembered us" he said pointing at Avyansh and karan and everyone nodded “ 3 days before we met her at college. she was in a hurry and then she collided with Avyansh then she asked us for help as her phone got stolen and we helped her in finding it" Arush said and they nodded.

Suddenly Avyansh stood up and went out of the room . He strode towards the opposite room, his brother's and best friends eyes widened a little as they knew what he was going to do .

They think that Avyansh considers Arya as a sister just like Diya and Harika.{ Only if they know}She became his family, she became a part of his family. And if he considers someone as his family he will do anything to save them or to keep them happy.

Since Rakshit interfered with his family—Arya .

Avyansh is not going to leave him easily.

You can bear a silent because he don't fuck to anyone however you can't bear an Angry Avyansh because angry Avyansh is a volcano, when it explodes it will destroy everything that comes in its way.

Avyansh burst open the door of Rakshit's team and saw him sitting with his team members.he strode towards him with long steps. As soon he was standing in front of Rakshit. he gripped his collar, pulled him up making Rakshit stand. Everyone present in the room looked at him shocked except his brother's who knew what he is going to do .

" What the hell are you doing?" Rakshit yelled at Avyansh as he tried to hold Avyansh collar but Avyansh cared less as he landed a strong punch on his jaw making him yelp in pain.

" Ahhh..ahh" he again punched him near his stomach making him scream harder and fall on ground, Rakshit teammates were about to punch Avyansh but he stopped them by saying

"Lagta hai sir,ko pata chal gaya hai ki hum match Jeet jayenge isliye humse ladne aayaga. Haina?" He mocked Avyansh, making his blood boil more and jaw clenched harder.

This time Rakshit tried to punch Avyansh but his reflex was fast as he punched him on his nose making Rakshit scream "ahhhhhh....you fucker ".

Avyansh turned around to leave. if he don't leave now and fights more he might end up killing Rakshit but Rakshit being himself, he punched Avyansh on his back making him fall down on the ground, on his knees.

Avyansh closed his eyes as pain striked him. Swallowing the pain he stood up and punched Rakshit on his nose again and again this time with more force making sure that his nose fractures.

" This one is for messing with Arya" Avyansh roared and punched him hard on his now- broken-nose making him yelp in pain "ahhhhhhhhhh" And then Avyansh left him with a last punch on his stomach.

Avyansh along with his brother's left the room.

Rakshit looked at his fading figure with Dorsey eyes

" I will take my revenge Avyansh verma, bohot jald ,lunga. Lagta hai tumhe vo ladki pasand hai. toh mai usse tum se dur kar dungi. Ye Rakshit Shergill ka vaada hai" he vowed to himself all the while looking at Avyansh's back which disappeared into the room.
