After his fight with Rakshit, Avyansh came back to his practice room,and lie down on the slab and close his eyes feeling exhausted with the fight. Meanwhile his brother's and best friends were looking at him in shock.

Avyansh was a cool, silent and padhaku type. He never mess with anyone,the only things he does is to study, play basketball and play with Leo. They were shocked to see this side of Avyansh again after ages.

When they were in school, a boy tried to touch Harika in a bad way, which fueled Avyansh and he punched the shit out of the boy. That was the day when everyone got to know that Avyansh can break anyone's bones if they mess with his family.

After that day, today they saw the same Avyansh again but this time with different emotions, last time it was a brother who fought for his sister's safety but this time it's different.

The way he got furious on knowing how Rakshit tried to bully Arya, the way he fight showed everything to them.

They got to know that for Avyansh, Arya is not a sister or his brother's best friend but someone special and more important than everyone.

“He is in love” Arush whispered looking at his friends and they nodded their heads with a smile. “How did this even happened?,” Anirudh asked, not digesting the fact that his brother loves his best friend. “ Shayad,love at first sight” Karan said to Anirudh , remembering the day when Avyansh met Arya in college.

“Ho sakta hai,he fell in love with her in college when she bumped into him”Karan again said grinning ear to ear, feeling happy for his friend.

“ Then let's confirm things from him” Rahul said and everyone nodded.

Avyansh opened his eyes listening to the faint whispering talks . He looked at his brother's and bestfriend's grinning at him, Avyansh scrunched his nose at the scene.

“ Kya ho gaya hai tum sab ko ? Why are you grinning like the idiots you are?” he asked, feeling annoyed with their continued smiling.

“I heard someone is in love!!” Arush looked at Karan and signelled him to play along “Haa, I have heard it too” Karan said , “who is in love?” A clueless Avyansh asked them.

“ You” everyone said in union Making Avyansh's ears and neck turned red as he understood that they were talking about him. Aayush, Rahul, Ankush and Anirudh noticed him and got shocked seeing their brother blushing .

“Bhai you are blushing!” Anirudh exclaimed in shock, “ no, i am not” Avyansh immediately denied, “ yes,you are” Aayush said and smirked at him, Avyansh shook his head with a smile making his dimple to pop out as they caught him. “ Look, you are smiling too” Anirudh again said and smirked looking at his red face.

“Tell me , who is the girl?” Arush asked curiously. “Promise me that you guys won't create any scene?” Avyansh asked, knowing them very well. “ Haa nahi karenge” they said in unison, “ pakka?” He again asked, making them annoyed by his behavior, “aab bol bhi do!!” Arush asked, not able to bear this suspense.

Avyansh took a deep breath and said “Arya” as those words left his mouth, the room felt dangerously silent, meanwhile Avyansh was terrified by their reaction, “Dekho,guys i don't know, yeh pyaar hai aur kuch but yes, when I saw her in college coming in my direction, my feet froze on spot looking at her, then she came and bumped into me, at that moment for the first time my heart literally stopped beating for a whole minute, i never felt like that for any girl, uske baad pata nahi, mai Arya ke baare mai hi soch ne laga, i didn't even know her name that time, but still my heart beat fasten whenever I thought about her, then anirudh invited her to dinner in our house, I was shocked to see her there, yay i wanted to meet her but I don't know how. Then god sent her to me through anirudh. Then her allergies, which made me worried and mai literally Puri raat nahi soya hu, then i realized that I feel something for her, if it is love. Then yes. I love her” Avyansh completed and everyone jaw dropped to ground at his imperfectly—perfect confession, “ he literally poured his heart out” Aayush thought looking at the sincerity in his twin's eyes.

Suddenly Anirudh stood up and went near to Avyansh, he took his hand “ Bhai, vo aasan ladki nahi hai, she thinks that she don't deserve love,and—” he paused as everyone was keenly listening to him, he continued “it looks like she has a terrible past” he completed and everyone thinned their eyebrows “ past?” Ankush asked being puzzled , anirudh nodded and said “subah meri Diya se baat Hui, she said she hear screams from Arya's room followed by cries then Diya went out” he completed and Avyansh heart clenched at the that thought of her crying.

“ She made this much big boundary around her heart Bhai, that means,kuch toh bohot traumatizing hua hoga uske saath,but I am happy that she let us in” anirudh said with a sad smile, while everyone nodded feeling bad for her. “ If she let us in, then let's promise to never hurt her” Aayush said and suddenly Avyansh feel very proud looking at his twin “zindagi Mai pehli baat kuch acha bola hai tune” he said and Aayush rolled his eyes and said “promise”.

“ Promise” everyone vowed.

“ Come on now , it's time for the match” Ankush said remembering the match and everyone came out of the room.

As they came out of the room, they saw an injured Rakshit standing there with the support of the wall.without caring about him, they left from there. Meanwhile Rakshit called someone and said everything he heard, making the other person's blood boil.

A few minutes later….

Arya alongwith Diya arrived at the stadium where the basketball match is going to be held. Arya glanced around the stadium and fear and anxiety crawls into her veins looking at the hundreds of people, she instantly clutched Diya's making her flinch at the sudden moment, Diya looked at Arya,her face clearly shows that she is scared, suddenly Arya's hand started to Shake, Diya widened her eyes as she looked at Arya's condition.

She is going to have a panic attack again.

Diya thought and hugged Arya and rubbed her back while murmuring sweet nothings things in her ear “shhh, it's okay, everything is okay, you are going to be fine” Arya shook her head at Diya's words,she knows that everything is not okay,she didn't wanted Diya to see her vulnerable, helpless side but now she saw it.

“Everything is not the same anymore now” Arya thought while a tear escaped her eye.
