The sun was shining brightly and Birds were chirping happily. A wonderful yet normal morning for everyone. Or maybe not.

The sun rays escaped from a window into a luxurious room falling on a figure lying on the bed disturbing her sleep. This girl is none other than our Alya Singhania, chirpy, mischievous and a cute nerd. Today is a very special day for her, Firstly she's gonna turn 18 and secondly today she has finally gathered her courage to propose the man, whom she had been admiring from a long time.

She got ready into a light white crop shirt and shorts. She kept her hair open and did a light makeup. She went downstairs, her parents hugged her and wished her a very happy birthday and a beautiful life ahead. She was their only child and indeed their pride. They have provided her with everything and anything but amidst these she was raised with high moral values and was a down to earth person. After having her breakfast, she left for a college she had a car but she used her cycle as the college was not so far away. She was having mixed feeling at the moment, scared, excited, nervous and happy.

•

She was inside the college standing behind a tree watching him secretly. Her friend, Inayat, was standing beside her. The first year's students had the first lecture free. She had a bouquet with red roses in her hand.

"Just Go With It girl! If not today then Never" Inayat boosted up her friend's courage.

"What if he says no?" Alya Replied scared.

"And what if he says yes?" Inayat was giving her hopes.

"What if he doesn't?" She reasoned. "Enough! You are going." Inayat pushed Alya towards his direction. Her eyes widened. Due to the sudden movement of leaves, attention went towards her which included him and his friends.

Him, Veer Malhotra. The Prince charming and the heartthrob of the college and also the Heartbreaker of girls. The man of group, he is never seen alone, always accompanied by his good-for-nothing and egoistic friends.

She took a deep breath and walked small steps towards him. Scared, was so little of what she was feeling at the moment. She stood infront of him, forwarded the bouquet towards him. All eyes were on them making her regret her decision but she knew now there was no backing off. She exhaled and inhaled and said whatever she was feeling from a long time- "The day, I saw you I fell for you. Don't know how but each and every day my love for you increased. Till now, I didn't had the courage to tell you but I love you, Will you accept my proposal?"

There was a complete silence, The silence that was eating her up. Her heart was thumping hard. After some moments, which felt like years, she heard sound of laughing, his friends where laughing at her. Her mind blacked out, she couldn't think of anything. She hoped that he will say something but Veer was just silently watching her. And then she lost it, she has always been taught that 'self respect matters more than feelings'. Tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes, she wiped them harshly, lifted her head and threw the bouquet at him and shouted out- "This is not your life when they are ruling it, they make your decisions. You don't have a mouth, they are your mouthpiece. I will take your silence as a rejection. Fuck off." He watched her with guilt while she left. His friends were fuming with rage and made sure they will take revenge.

•

At departure, Alya was walking with Inayat towards the parking lot. Her Eyes were red and her nose had also turn a light shade of pink due to crying in the washroom for hours. She was hurt and angry, Hurt because his friends made fun of her feelings and Angry because he was just silently watching everything.

Reaching the parking lot, the scene worked as a fuel to her anger, her cycle was kept there broken, tyres out. She knew who had done this, she took the cycle and went to him and pushed the cycle at him and shouted furiously- "Fuck off." Veer was standing there clueless watching her as she left. He turned towards his friends, seeing them smirk, He realised what must have happened. A sudden wave of guilt grounded him.

•

Next morning, Alya walked the way to college. Upon reaching, she saw Veer standing there waiting for someone. His face lit up seeing her, he walked towards her, but she choose to ignore and started walking. He called her name but she didn't replied. At last, Veer caught her hand and pulled her against him.

"Why are you ignoring me?" He asked, guilt written on his face.

"And why are you calling me?" She back fired.

"I wanted to talk to you." He mumbled slowly, enough for her to hear.

" But I don't!" She struggled to get out of his grip. "Please!" He made a pleading face, whatever it maybe but she loved him.

"Okay, but first leave me." Veer instantly left her as she said. "Now, Come with me." Veer caught her hand and took her to the parking lot.

Reaching there, she saw her cycle all repaired and decorated. Her eyes widen with happiness and she heard him say, "I am sorry for not supporting you, for not speaking for you yesterday and I am sorry as I didn't knew what my friends were up to. I really love you! Please forgive me and be my girlfriend?"

"Let me clear it to you, I don't like jokes." Alya said as she couldn't believe his words.

"I ain't joking. I really love you." He said genuinely. Alya saw the truthfulness in his eyes. Nevertheless, she loved him, so she hugged him tight as tears fell from her eyes.

"It's okay! I love you more and forever~"
