Suhani stood firm, resolving to ignore Anshu's presence. Focus on studies, not distractions.
In class, she immersed herself in the lesson, successfully pushing aside thoughts of him. The bell rang, signaling the end of the lecture. Suhani gathered her belongings, remembering she needed to visit Section B for the group project.
As she entered the classroom, her heart skipped a beat. Anshu sat at his desk, eyes locked onto hers.
For a moment, time froze.
Suhani composed herself, approaching him with feigned nonchalance. "What do you want, Anshu?"
Anshu's deep, velvety voice caressed her ears, sending shivers down her spine. "Will you be my friend,Suhani?" As soon as she heard this, she stood there in the same position. Her cheeks turned red. And Anshu said, "Look how cute you are looking while blushing." Suhani's knees weakened. His voice was hypnotic, weaving a spell around her.
She felt herself falling, not just for his words, but for the gentle tone, the soft cadence. "Okay..", she whispered, extending her hand. Anshu's handshake sent sparks through her.
She felt shy and started going to her class after completing her project work. As they parted ways, Suhani replayed his voice in her mind.
"Will you be my friend Suhani?" The way he said her name. The gentle emphasis on "Friend". Suhani's heart fluttered. Khushi noticed her distant gaze. "What happened?" Khushi asked. Suhani hesitated before revealing her encounter with Anshu.
Khushi's eyes widened. "He has never approached anyone before." Suhani's curiosity grew. what made Anshu choose her?
The day passed in a blur, Suhani's mind oscillating between excitement and apprehension. As school ended, she felt Anshu's gaze on her. She turned, their eyes meeting briefly. A spark of connection.
Suhani wondered if she was reading too much into it. But one thing was certain - Anshu's voice had etched itself in her memory. She couldn't shake off the feeling that their friendship would be different.
