Arsh sat in silence, his heart heavy with a mix of emotions as Shreya's words lingered in the air. The mention of her crush, Kush, had stirred a twinge of sadness within him, a feeling he struggled to mask behind a facade of understanding and support.

As the bus journey continued, Arsh couldn't shake the weight of Shreya's confession from his mind. Her vulnerability had touched a chord within him, igniting a sense of protectiveness and empathy that he couldn't ignore.

Despite the pang of disappointment that crept into his heart, Arsh knew that he couldn't let his feelings overshadow the budding friendship he shared with Shreya. He was determined to be the friend she needed, a pillar of support in her pursuit of love and happiness.

Gathering his thoughts, Arsh turned to Shreya with a gentle smile, masking his inner turmoil behind a facade of reassurance. With a voice laced with sincerity, he promised to stand by her side and help her in confessing her feelings to Kush, determined to see her smile and find the happiness she deserved.

Deep down, a part of Arsh longed to be the one to capture Shreya's heart, to be the recipient of her affection and admiration. But in that moment, he pushed aside his personal desires, prioritizing Shreya's happiness above his own.

And as the bus rolled on, carrying them towards an uncertain future filled with untold possibilities, Arsh made a silent vow to be the friend Shreya needed, even if it meant sacrificing his own feelings for the sake of her happiness.

It was a promise he intended to keep, a testament to the depth of his friendship and the unspoken bond that tied their hearts together in ways they had yet to discover.
