Arya alongwith Diya baked different types of cookies, cake, cupcakes, and last Diya's favourite brownies. After standing straight for 2 hours they both sat on couch feeling exhausted.

"Mai toh tak gayi yaar, waise i don't know you are this much good in cooking and baking" Diya asked being surprised . Arya smiled at her as she recall her 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 and me and my sister and papa along with dadi stayed at home. Kabhi, kabhi bohot bhuk lagti thi, and we were not allowed to eat outside food. So not having any other choice, i started to learn cooking for me and my sister. That's how my cooking journey started " Arya completed and Diya nodded at her being impressed.

Diya served the vegetable rice in two plates and they both started eating. Diya was thinking about basketball match which is going to happen in evening. She wanted to invite Arya to come with her but she was unsure if she comes 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 being hesitate, and Arya nodded her head but got shocked listening to her next words" mere saath basketball match dekhne chaloge? " Arya immediately shook her head in negative making Diya face fall.

Arya was scared of crowds . After that incident everything changed. She became a touch me not plant person. She has social anxiety from childhood but it worsen 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 there , and seeing them her anxiety will surely kicks in, and she will lose her control of her condition then everyone got to know about her past. And Arya don't want that. So she refused Diya .

Arya observed her reaction and felt bad of her behaviour towards Diya."Diya don't be sad , okay! Mere shakal toh 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.

Diya knows that it's was just a excuse for not going out . She wanted Arya to open up to her and she knows that it is just beginning of their friendship and she needed 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 lejake rahungi" she vowed to her self 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 a favour for me?" She asked the person and he accepted to help her.

After sometime .......

Arya was in her room watching her favourite k-dramas in her ipad when her phone started to ring. She looked at the caller it was a unknown number thinking that it was spam call, she ignored it, and again she engaged in her dramas . After sometime her phone rang again making her irritated. she looked at the caller and it was from the same number, being annoyed Arya answered the call pausing her drama.

" Hello? " Arya asked but there is no reply, she thinned her eyebrows and asked in irritation " if you don't want to talk then why the hell did you called me?, " she waited for an answer but in return she only get sound of the breathing. Being super annoyed Arya said" iam hanging up,and thankyou 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 her self . " Hello? Arya are you there?" Avyansh questioned her and she nodded." If you are nodding then I can't see you,so speak"Arya's check trun red in embarassment "yes, why did you call? Wait!! How did you get my number? She asked him" I have my ways, anyways I called you to say that please attend the match because I am playing" saying that he hangs the call making her lost in thoughts .

"He invited me personally ? But why?" she thought and instantly her cheeks turned red at the though. And she immediately messaged Diya that she will come with her. Diya 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 but Arya didn't realise it yet . however except her everyone knows it.

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

Avyansh, Aayush, Rahul,Ankush, Anirudh, Arush and karan are getting ready for the basketball match against their rival Rakshit 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, handsome and head boy in both school and college but he couldn't because of Avyansh.

Avyansh is more handsome than him, more smarter than him, everyone in the college/ school talked about him. Avyansh always secures first place in every exam whereas Rakshit always second. It always fueled him that Avyansh is more better than him .Because of all these 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 at any cost today!!" Anirudh said looking at his brother's. But no one payed heed to his words and concentrated in their own works. Anirudh looked at them and smirked " we will defeat him, how dare he ? Usne Arya ko chheda !" Now this caught everyone's attention and their head's snapped at him . He knows, that in this short time of span his brother started to treat Arya like their sister and she became important for them.

" What?" Avyansh asked him while fisting his hand. " 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" he completed and the brothers clenched their jaw and fists. " Wait!! It means uss din vo phone wala incident Rakshit ne hi karvaya tha" Arush said shocked , except Avyansh and karan everyone thinned their eyebrows.

" What incident?" Aayush asked Arush

" You remember, uss din Arya Ghar pe aayi thi and I asked her if she remembered us" he said pointing at Avyansh and karan and everyone nodded," a day before that we met her at college as she collided with Avyansh and we helped her in finding her phone" he completed and they nodded.

Suddenly Avyansh stood up and went out of the room and he strode towards the opposite team room, his brother's and bestfriend's know what he was going to do because he was super angry. Because Rakshit messed with his family and they know that Avyansh too consider Arya as his family.

You can bear a silent Avyansh but a angry Avyansh is volcano, when it explodes it will destroy everything that comes in its way.

Avyansh burst open the door and saw Rakshit sitting with his brother and team members, he strode towards him and gripped his coller, pulled him up making Rakshit stand. Everyone present in the room looked at him shocked except his brother's who what his going to do .

" What the hell are you doing??" Rakshit yelled at Avyansh but Avyansh cared less as he landed a strong punch on his jaw making him yelp in pain. " Ahhh..hh" he again punched him near his stomach making him scream harder and fall on ground, Rakshit team mates were about to punch Avyansh but Rakshit 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 because if he fights more he might end up killing Rakshit but Rakshit being himself, he punched Avyansh on his back making him fall on the ground, Avyansh stood up and punched Rakshit on his nose again and again this time with more force making sure 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.

Avyansh along with his brother's left the room . Rakshit looked at his fading figure " I will take my revenge Avyansh verma, bohot jald,lunga .lagta hai tumhe vo little girl pasand hai, toh mai usse tum se dur kar dungi. Ye Rakshit Shergill ka vaada hai" he vowed.
