"Shivangi!!!! Can I ask you for something?!!"

Shivangi turned around instantly..

"Yes?!!"

"Can I get.. umm.. your phone number?!! I mean.. can we be friends..
Like just normally..
Can we stay in touch...", Parth spoke very hesitantly.. and very softly.

Shivangi's happiness knew no bounds.. she just couldn't believe her ears... Parth Samthaan had asked her for her number... He wanted to be friends with her!!!
Was this real.. or just another dream.. just another imagination..

"Kahan??!!!", He again clicked his fingers before my eyes.. to pull me out of my trance.

"Umm... Nahi nahi kuch nahi.. it's just that so this is happening too quickly and it is very very hard to believe. All this looks like a dream..", Shivangi explained sheepishly.

"Oh!", he smiled and then again said in a soft tone..

"So number milega?!"

"Of course!!!", came the reply and numbers were exchanged.

"Thank you!!! So friends right?", he looked at Shivangi doubtfully.

"Yeah sure!!!!!", Shivangi replied and following this, Parth spread his arms.. gesturing her for a hug..

*Parth's P.O.V.*

In this fifteen minute conversation.. I could already feel that I was falling for this girl.. she was outright.. funny.. straightforward and not at all pretentious.
I wanted to interact more with her.. I wanted to stay in touch with her.. I wanted to talk more with her.. I wanted to spend more and more time with her.
Thankfully.. she had shared her contact number with me.. and now when I opened my arms to hug her.. she.. very shyly.. showing me another trait of hers.. came towards me and hugged me..
I wrapped my arms around her.. and I don't know about her.. I definitely felt very comfortable and light... It was a different level of comfort..
After hugging her.. I hugged her friend Ananya.. and then they left..

*Parth's P.O.V. ends*

*Shivangi's P.O.V.*

"Ananyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!", I shook her completely and this is all that I could say.
Ananya herself had gone completely crazy... She also was a fan of Parth too... But i was just not in a position to understand how she was feeling..

We reached the hostel.. Ananya had already posted our pictures with Parth on our hostel WhatsApp group.. and so we were surprisingly greeted by quite excited reactions..

"Matlab finally mil hi li tum!!! Parth Samthaan se mil li tum shivangi!!??!!??!!!!!", Anamika opened the room of her door saying this and hugged me tightly.

"Arre milna chhodo?!!! Parth wants to *STAY IN TOUCH WITH HER"...
He wanted *SHIVANGI'S CONTACT NUMBER"...
Wants to be *'JUST' FRIENDS* with her...", Ananya said teasingly.

"Ananya bas ab.. zyaada ho gaya ye!!!", Mohini screamed out from under her blanket.. probably her favourite spot for life..

"Arre?!!!!! I swear... Sach bol rahi hu main yaar!!!! Usne sach mein Shivangi ka number maanga.. aur kaha ki usko Shivangi se friendship karni hai...", Ananya tried to contain her excitement as she told everyone what all had taken place in the last two-two and a half hours..

I.. was mum. Absolutely tongue-tied..
I just nodded my head in positive to let my friends believe in what my roommate was saying.

"But tumhare paas to pehle se hi uska number tha?!!! Usko pata to nahi chala??", Anamika asked me curiously and then i told her that I pretended to save his number for the first time.. By this time.. i was a little normal.. and told them all that happened.. in detail.. and both of them were listening intently.. with Ananya stressing only on the part.. where he said..

"Excuse me?! Ms. Ananya!"

After talking them everything.. I spoke to Sameeksha.. told her everything and she went MAD!!!!!!!
We were now sitting in Anamika's room when Manali.. who was not there in the room all this while.. came in.

"Arre aa gaye tum log?!!! Mila Parth??!!! Hahahaha.. kaha tha ki vapas chalo!! Na pasta kha paayi aur na Parth mila!!", Manali said this without looking up to anyone of us.. and checked her WhatsApp.
I wanted to kill her right now.. but I controlled my excitement and the four of us kept sitting silently when he suddenly screamed..

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shivangi tum to Parth se mil li!!!!"

And all of us burst out laughing..

"Nahi nahi bol lo!!!! Kuch nahi mila.. PARTH nahi mila... Tumko apne boyfriend se fursat hai?!!! Badi aayi...", I said to her..

After pulling her leg.. and they pulling my leg.. we dispersed into our rooms..
I changed my clothes.. and was sitting in my bed.. just staring at that red crop top.. which had a faint smell of the perfume Parth had applied..

Ananya was sitting in the room.. but both of us were quiet.. we were trying to put together all that happened today.. it seemed so dreamy.. and so beautiful!!

I could still feel his arms around my shoulder and back..
I could still feel his hand on my head.. in the most protective manner ever...
I don't think I'd ever be able to forget that feeling... His heartbeat that I could hear.. his long and beautiful fingers that touched my palm as we shook hands..
I was lost in these thoughts when my phone rang... On seeing the name on the caller id.. I went bonkers.. all the calmness that had started coming in.. all the excitement that was starting to settle in.. was at its peak again...

PARTH SAMTHAAN was CALLING ME!!!!!!!

*Shivangi's P.O.V. ends*

A/N: What is happening?!!
Is it even real??? Or just one of Shivangi's imaginations..
One of you should pinch Shivangi... Because all that is happening... Is 100% real!!!!!
Parth has started falling for Shivangi... Something that Shivangi had always wanted... Like all the time!!!!!!
Hope you're enjoying!!!!!
