Dhriti's pov.
It's been a week of me meeting jiju (Atharva) first time. I also met his parents. They are lovely. They treat me and dii(Swati) as their own daughters. True to his words he is a like a brother to me. He cares a lot and also helps me whenever i need. Today he has gone for a job interview in Bangalore. Me and dii met him 2 days ago when he was going to Bangalore. He and dii both were very nervous. This job is going to decide their future. If he gets selected in the interview then his parents are going to our house for asking dii's hand for marriage. I hope everything goes well.
   
Talking about college a lot has changed in a week. Manan and Mansi have become my best friends. My other classmates who used to ignore me talk with me very politely. Me, mansi and manan we three hang out often and i have also bunked twice in this week😜. My crush on manan has also increased. Whenever he would give me some chocolates or any other gift , my cheeks go all red due to blush.

Currently we three are sitting in the garden area. Manan and mansi are eyeing each other like talking about something in sign language. I ignore them and checked my phone. I am waiting for dii's or jiju's message regarding interview.

Third person's pov.
Dhriti stood up from her seat and started walking towards classroom as it was the time of thier next lecture.
When she reached exit of garden someone held her hand from behind causing her to stop in her tracks.
Dhriti-  what the hell!!
Manan- Dhriti its me, manan .
She turned and apologized
Dhriti-  oh sorry manan. I didn't notice you.
Manan- Its alright. Actually i want yo talk to you about something... Urggh..
Dhriti-  oh... Okay...
She was blushing looking at ground as he was still holding her hand and also their closeness was effecting her.
Manan-  Dhriti woh actually....
Dhriti- yes speak manan.. what do you want to talk about.
Mansi who was standing behind Dhriti narrowed her eyes toward manan and mouthed. "Confess her right now".
Manan winked at Mansi nodded his head and gave a flying kiss to her with a smirk on his face which goes unnoticed by Dhriti as she was busy eyeing ground with a blush on her face due to their closeness.
Manan-  Dhriti you know.. you have changed me completely. I never thought i could have feelings about someone in my heart. But now you have ruled my heart. I love you.. you have bought a new person in me. I want to rise in your love. I want to cherish you forever..
WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND??

All the eyes in the garden were on them. All were looking like some show is going on. Some were looking with a smirk on their faces and some were looking at Dhriti in pity.
Dhriti was shocked after listening Manan's confession. Yes she had feelings for him but she didn't know whether it was love or not. She was afraid of word relationship. She was not ready to be in relationship as of now. She became uncomfortable due to all eyes on them. On the top of that she was not at all expecting this confession.
In the confusion or you can say fear she said whatever came to her mind first.
Dhriti-  No manan. I don't love you. You are my best friend. I am not in love. Yes i.... i am not in love.

She said to manan, dragged her hand from his hold and ran away from garden.
After she went away everyone in the garden broke into fits of laughter. But there were two faces looking red. The two faces were red with shame and anger.

Manan's pov.

How dare she.. how dare she got that guts to reject me on my face and that too in the front of everyone in campus. I became laughing stock in the front of everyone. No one has ever guts to even stand against me and that fatso just aid no to me, to the 'Manan Sharma' . She doesn't know who i am and what can i do.  I am here bursting with anger. Its the first time someone has insulted me. I eyed everyone making them stop there laughter. Soon there is pin drop silence in garde. This is what 'Manan Sharma' is and that fatso need to know this. You have messed up with the wrong person my dear fatso.

Just wait and watch Miss Dhriti i will make you regret the day you came to this college. You yourself will come to me confessing your love. I will make you hate yourself. You will not be able to trust anyone again. Just wait and watch.

I came out from garden with Mansi following me. We reached canteen where our friends were standing with a smirk on their face. I gave them 5000 rs. I was not expecting that it would be me on the losing side. I have to do something to make that fatso learn a lesson. I have a plan in my mind. I looked at mansi and smirked in her direction.

Third person's pov.

Manan- I have a plan to crumble down that bitch's pride.
(He said with a smirk on his face)
Mansi- What are you thinking??
(She spoke with little hesitance)
Manan-  I will continue the same behaviour for now. And in the last semester something unexpected will happen and then boom..... I will show my true face.
Mansi- Manan what is going on in your head. Say it clearly.
(She was a bit tensed looking at  manan's behaviour)
Manan-  Don't worry baby!! Everything is going to be okay.. we have to just behave normally with her.
Mansi- Manan i think we should leave her now as bet is also over..
( She was really tensed looking at his revenge side which looked dangerous. She was having a feeling that there is something wrong but she let that go.)
Manan- No baby!! You just follow my plan.. Am i clear??
He asked him in a loud voice.
Mansi (replied in low voice)- okay!!

Dhriti's pov.

I was very scared when Manan confessed his feelings. I was really shocked as it was highly unexpected. I have feelings for him but i am not sure. I ran away from garden and came to backside area of college.This is my hideplace whenever something happens in college. Here there are two little kittens whom i have found when once i was sitting here thinking about my family. Seeing me they both came running to me. I gave them some bread from my tiffin.

I was thinking about his confession. I think i did wrong thing by running away. I should have cleared to him properly and have talked to him to clear my doubts. But i was scared after listening to his feelings. I was not ready for relationship.

I think i should talk to dii about it. She will not judge me and give me proper solution. I checked my phone and saw 10 notifications. There were some some missed calls from dii and jiju. And some of their messages.
Atharva- Hey buddy!! Where are you. Why are you not picking calls. Is everything alright..
Atharva- We both want to tell you something.. come soon.
Swati dii- Dhri where are you.. why are you not replying for god's sake..
Swati dii-  You are not even texting back... Is everything fine.. listen if this is a prank then it is really a bad one .
Swati dii- if you are in the class.. its alright. Come back soon..

I replied to them that i am fine and coming back soon. I went to my class to take my bag and books. I wanted to talk to manan or mansi but they both were not there. I came back home remembering dii's and jiju's messages. I think its about interview thats why they asked to come urgently. I went to home and saw there were 2 cars parked outside our house. I have seen them somewhere. As i saw clearly  one of the two cars was of Atharva jiju. I went inside and saw jiju and his parents were sitting in the hall along with papa , bade papa, badi maa and our 3 brothers. My mother was standing near the kitchen gate and dii was nowhere to be seen. As soon as jiju saw me entering his smile got bigger and he winked at me and mouthed 'welcome buddy'. His parents were also smiling at me. The elders of my family were looking at me with a slight smile. Wow now this is something really sweet 🙄my inner self said mocking me. My mother gestured me to come to kitchen. I freshened up a little and went to kitchen. Dii was standing near  gate holding tray in her hands. I shook her to bring her back from trance. She sighed a relief.

Third person's pov.

Swati- Finally dhri you are here. Why were you not picking our calls. You know i was very worried and on the top of that his parents were coming. You know i didn't know what to wear. Have you seen our room. Its complete mess. I was finding something nice to wear. What do you think, am i looking good? They won't reject me right. That idiot Atharva also didn't tell me that they are coming today.. you know he should......
(She went on and on... Dhriti wasn't able to understand her sister who was ranting some random stuff which only her sister herself can understand )
Dhriti slapped her hand a little.
Swati- Ouch!! Dhri why the hell did you do that? 😕
Dhriti- Oh thank god you are speaking like a normal person only. I thought you have completely lost it before marriage.🙄
Swati- Dhri i am very nervous..
Dhriti- Dii calm down.. first tell me what is happening here. Dont tell me you both get caught roaming around city by our parents. Or or or...
Oh no shit!! Dont tell me they caught you both kissing or making out 🙈
Swati-  Oh god dhri.. stop your imagination.. you suck at that..
Dhriti-  oh..ohkayy.. 😕
Swati- You know Atharva got a job in Bangalore. We were calling you to tell that only. And now they have came here to talk about our marriage.
(Swati replied with a blush on her cheeks)
Dhriti- oh god dii thats great...
I am really happy..

Dhriti's mom came to kitchen making them stop their talks.
Dhriti's mom- Girls come on help me with these plates.
(She said in extra sugar coated voice)
Dhriti and swati both shared a look and picked plates and went towards the hall.

In the hall

Swati served everyone and dhriti helped her.
Atharva's dad-  Since they were classmates so there won't be any problem. So from our side it is a yes. What do you think. Take your time we will wait for your decision.
Swati's dad-  No no why to wait. Its a yes from our side also.
(Atharva, his parents, swati and Dhriti were looking at him with wide eyes. Atharva and his parents were looking in disbelief that how can a father get his daughter married to a man without any background check. Whereas swati and Dhriti were looking at him with a hurt expression. Swati's heart was broken she knew that their family hate her but she didn't expect that they were so much eager to send her off with any stranger away. Dhriti held swati's hand and pressed a little as a support)
Atharva's mom(said in authoritative tone) -  But i think we should let kids talk. Swati beta take Atharva along with you and get your confusions cleared.
(Both Atharva and Dhriti were glad that his mother said rather ordered them to talk as they knew that swati needed some support. Atharva mouthed his mother 'thank you' and went with swati)
After some time they both came back and swati looked normal. Dhriti was happy that her sister has got such a caring partner.

Atharva's mom- So kids what is your decision.
Atharva- Mom its a yes from both of us. (He said holding swati's hand)
Atharva's mom- Beta what about you?
Swati- Aunty its a yes.

The wedding date was decided after 6 months. Both the sisters were very happy. But swati was sad also that she has to leave her sister alone in this hell hole.
Dhriti was more than happy for her favourite persons. College incident was long forgotten.

After a month Swati and Atharva got engaged . And after 5 months of being engaged they both got married in a simple ceremony with the blessings of family members and close relatives.
