Midleton College of Fine Arts was abuzz with excitement as Sid prepared to leave for an important out-of-town match, leaving Suhana and Veer behind to manage their studies and activities. As Sid packed his bags in the dorm room he shared with Veer, Suhana couldn't help but feel a pang of loneliness knowing her brother would be away for the weekend.

"You'll be fine, Suhana," Sid reassured her, flashing a reassuring smile. "Veer will be here, and you guys can keep each other company."

Suhana nodded, forcing a smile despite the unease stirring within her. "Yeah, of course. Focus on your match, Sid. We'll manage just fine here."

With a final embrace, Sid bid them farewell and headed off to catch his train, leaving Suhana and Veer standing in the hallway outside their dorm room.

"Well, it's just you and me now," Veer remarked lightly, attempting to lighten the mood.

Suhana chuckled softly, though her thoughts were still preoccupied with Sid's departure. "Yeah, just you and me."

Unbeknownst to Suhana, Sharon had been watching from a distance, her mind already devising another scheme to sow discord. She had noticed the subtle chemistry between Suhana and Veer, and it irked her to no end. As she approached them with a friendly smile, her words carried a venomous undertone.

"Hey, Suhana, Veer," Sharon greeted them casually, though her eyes flickered with malice. "Are you guys doing anything special while Sid's away?"

Veer shrugged nonchalantly. "Not really. Just catching up on assignments and maybe hanging out."

Sharon's smile widened, though there was no warmth in it. "You know, it's funny how close you two are. Almost like there's something more between you."

Suhana frowned, sensing the subtle implication in Sharon's words. "What do you mean, Sharon?"

Sharon feigned innocence, her tone dripping with faux concern. "Oh, nothing. It's just... I've noticed how you two look at each other sometimes. Like there's an unspoken connection."

Veer exchanged a puzzled glance with Suhana, his brow furrowing in confusion. "Sharon, we're just friends. Suhana is like a sister to me."

Sharon's mask of innocence slipped momentarily, replaced by a calculating expression. "Of course, Veer. I didn't mean to imply anything. It's just... sometimes feelings can develop unexpectedly."

Suhana's unease grew, her mind racing with doubts and uncertainties. "Sharon, are you trying to say something?"

Before Sharon could respond, the college bell rang, signaling the end of the conversation as students began to disperse for their classes. Suhana and Veer exchanged a lingering glance, the seed of doubt planted firmly in their minds.

Later that evening, as they sat in the college library studying together, the atmosphere between Suhana and Veer was noticeably tense. Suhana couldn't shake off Sharon's insidious words, and Veer sensed her unease.

"Suhana, is everything okay?" Veer asked softly, his concern evident in his voice.

Suhana sighed, closing her textbook with a defeated expression. "I don't know, Veer. Sharon's words... they've been bothering me all day."

Veer frowned, reaching out to gently squeeze her hand. "You can't take Sharon seriously, Suhana. She's just trying to create trouble."

"But what if there's some truth to what she said?" Suhana whispered, her voice tinged with fear. "What if... we've been blind to our feelings for each other?"

Veer shook his head adamantly, his eyes searching hers with sincerity. "Suhana, we've been friends for years. We know each other inside out. There's nothing more between us than that."

Suhana nodded slowly, trying to reassure herself with Veer's words. "You're right, Veer. I trust you."

As they resumed their studies, the tension between them gradually eased, replaced by a renewed sense of trust and camaraderie. But Sharon's words continued to linger in Suhana's mind like a persistent shadow, threatening to unravel the bonds of friendship and love that she held dear.

Meanwhile, in her dorm room across campus, Sharon smiled to herself triumphantly. Her plan was working perfectly, sowing doubt and discord where none had existed before. She was determined to seize this opportunity to drive a wedge between Suhana and Veer, knowing that once doubt took root, it could grow into something far more destructive.

Little did she know, her actions were setting in motion a chain of events that would test the strength of friendships and love, revealing the true power of trust and resilience in the face of adversity.

The weight of Sharon's insinuations bore down heavily on Suhana throughout the week following Sid's departure. Despite Veer's reassurances, the seed of doubt had taken root in her mind, festering with each passing day. Suhana found herself questioning every interaction, every glance exchanged between her and Veer, wondering if there truly was something more beneath their longstanding friendship.

One afternoon, as classes came to an end and students filtered out of the lecture hall, Suhana lingered behind, lost in her thoughts. She felt a sudden wave of dizziness wash over her, her vision blurring at the edges. The stress and emotional turmoil had taken their toll, leaving her feeling weak and disoriented.

Veer, who had noticed Suhana's quiet demeanor all day, approached her cautiously. "Suhana, are you okay?" he asked softly, concern etched in his features.

Suhana tried to muster a reassuring smile, but it faltered as a wave of nausea swept over her. "I... I don't feel well, Veer."

Without warning, Suhana swayed on her feet, her vision darkening as the world spun around her. Veer reacted swiftly, catching her just before she collapsed to the ground. He called out for help, his voice tinged with panic, as other students rushed to their side.

Someone fetched water while another student alerted the college nurse. Veer cradled Suhana in his arms, his heart racing with fear as he tried to rouse her. "Suhana, stay with me. You're going to be okay," he murmured urgently, brushing a strand of hair from her clammy forehead.

The nurse arrived moments later, her professional demeanor taking charge as she assessed Suhana's condition. She checked her pulse and blood pressure, all the while asking Veer questions about Suhana's symptoms and recent activities.

"It could be stress-induced," the nurse commented thoughtfully, exchanging a concerned glance with Veer. "Let's get her to the infirmary for observation."

Veer nodded, his arms trembling slightly as he helped the nurse lift Suhana onto a stretcher. They hurried through the corridors towards the infirmary, Veer's mind racing with worry and guilt. He couldn't shake the feeling that Sharon's malicious words had contributed to Suhana's current state.

In the infirmary, Suhana was placed under observation, hooked up to monitors to track her vitals. Veer hovered anxiously by her bedside, his hands clenched into fists as he watched over her.

The nurse checked Suhana's temperature and administered fluids to help her recover. As Suhana slowly regained consciousness, she found Veer sitting beside her, his expression a mixture of relief and anguish.

"Suhana," Veer breathed, his voice thick with emotion. "I'm so sorry. I should have never let Sharon's words get to you."

Suhana blinked slowly, still feeling weak but comforted by Veer's presence. "It's not your fault, Veer. I... I let my doubts get the best of me."

Veer shook his head vehemently, reaching out to grasp her hand gently. "No, Suhana. Sharon is the one who created this mess. She's been trying to come between us from the beginning."

Suhana's eyes widened in realization, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place. "You're right, Veer. I've been so blind."

As they talked, the nurse monitored Suhana closely, ensuring her condition stabilized. Suhana recounted everything that had transpired since Sid's departure, from Sharon's initial accusations to the growing doubt that had clouded her judgment.

"I should have trusted you, Veer," Suhana murmured softly, tears brimming in her eyes. "I should have known Sharon's intentions were malicious."

Veer squeezed her hand reassuringly, his voice filled with determination. "From now on, we won't let Sharon come between us. We'll confront her together and put an end to her schemes."

Later that evening, as Suhana rested in the infirmary under Veer's watchful eye, Sharon paced nervously in her dorm room. Her plan had backfired spectacularly, and now she feared the consequences of her actions. Deep down, a flicker of guilt stirred within her, but pride and insecurity kept her from admitting her mistakes.

In the days that followed, Suhana recovered physically, but emotionally she remained wary of Sharon's manipulative tactics. With Veer's unwavering support and Sid's return from the match, they confronted Sharon together, exposing her deceit and ensuring she faced consequences for her actions.

Through it all, Suhana and Veer's bond emerged stronger than ever, forged in the fire of adversity and strengthened by trust and resilience. Sharon's shadows of doubt had threatened to tear them apart, but in the end, love and friendship prevailed, proving their unbreakable connection.
