2005, Mumbai
"Prashant," Aarti whined on her way to college, "Why not?"
"Because I can't Aarti! I have to study...I have my final exam next week. Your course is finished but mine isn't," he told her, giving her a regretful look.
Aarti sighed. On one hand, she was upset that Prashant wasn't coming with her to the party. What would she do there alone? It wasn't like she wanted to waste her time with random drunkards from her university. However, on the other hand, she was glad that he was paying attention to his studies because that would mean a better future for both of them later on.
"That's what you get for taking engineering," she mumbled. Engineering and medical students were the only ones left to finish writing their exams because of their heavy course loads. Aarti was glad that she hadn't resorted to either of those fields. She wasn't sure if she would be able to cope with all the stress. She was perfectly happy with her choice to pursue the arts in university.
"Come on babes, I'll make it up to you," Prashant said in his regretful tone before he took her hand and squeezed it.
"I'm waiting for it," she replied, looking into his eyes with her own fierce ones. She was challenging him.
"If I don't?" he teased her.
"Then I won't marry you," she teased back.
"Ouch, you hurt my ego Aarti," he laughed.
They laughed all the way to university hand in hand. As soon as they arrived, they noticed Yash Scindhia with his arm around Arpita Jain. They were headed towards one of the buildings. Yash and Arpita were also best friends like Aarti and Prashant, but Aarti thought that there was something going on between them. Something they kept secret. She and Arpita used to be close. They drifted apart over the years but they still socialized on a regular basis. She made a mental note to ask her about Yash the next time they spoke.
"Prashant, do you think Yash and Arpita are secretly... you know, together?" Aarti whispered to him.
"Like us?" Prashant grinned.
"We aren't officially together Prashant, just because we want to get married to each other doesn't mean we're together," Aarti told him and rolled her eyes as if it was so obvious.
"No Aarti, it means we're together," Prashant firmly said. "If we weren't together then we wouldn't do half the things we did."
"Like what?" she asked innocently, pretending to be oblivious.
"You know what I'm talking about Aarti!" he told her impatiently.
"No I don't," she replied, showing him her most angelic face.
"Do you want a demonstration?" he asked, with raised eyebrows. Then he started to lean close to her without waiting for her answer.
"Prashant!" Aarti shrieked. "We're at uni!"
Her heart started to beat faster and she could feel her palms begin to sweat. It wasn't like they hadn't kissed before, they had, but every kiss they shared made her feel this way.
Prashant chuckled and leaned even closer, causing her heart to beat feverishly against her ribcage.
"First admit that we're together," he instructed in a low voice.
"Fine, we're together!" Aarti yelled and released her hand from his.
"I have to go," she added shyly, then walked away, holding the books that she had to return to the library protectively to her chest.
A smiling Aarti walked towards the library lost in her thoughts. She was about to enter the building when she bumped into someone who happened to be leaving at that moment. Her books fell to the ground with a thud.
"Sorry," she quickly said. Then she looked up into the eyes of Yash Scindhia.
