It's almost noon. Warm sunlight streams into a cozy upstairs room. Rishitha is sitting near her window, casually scrolling her phone with no stress about college or courses.
Rishitha/FL
*scrolling reels*
Hmm... this is so relaxing 😌 No tension about which college, which course... today feels perfect.
Suddenly, the sound of a moving truck and voices float up from outside.
Rishitha/FL
*looks out the window curiously* New neighbors? Let’s see...
She leans slightly. Workers are unloading furniture and boxes. Her eyes scan the people below.
Rishitha/FL
Wait a second... that guy...
*breath hitches sharply* Nidhish...?!
She walks around the room not knowing what to do and quickly grabs her phone and calls her best friend, voice shaking with excitement.
Rishitha/FL
*whispers*
Naynii!!! Pick up fast!!
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲 Arre, what happened? Why so urgent at noon?
Rishitha/FL
📲*whispering excitedly* Nayanika... you won’t believe this!
Rishitha/FL
📲 A new family just moved into the house right in front of mine! And guess who's the son of them!!.
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲 Son of that uncle and wife??
don't tell me you got another crush.
Rishitha/FL
📲 Shut up idiot! I'm loyal to my first love even though it's one side *flipped her long hair even if it is not visible to her friend*
Rishitha/FL
📲 That's not the topic now .... It's Nidhish..... Like my first crush and my first love
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲*gasps dramatically*
WHAT?! Your Nidhish?! The same guy from high school?
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲 But what love?? You're saying it like you have been in a relationship with him???
Rishitha/FL
📲*ignoring her last sentence*
Yes!..... No like not my Nidhish but... whatever, It’s been almost 3 years... Back then I only saw him from afar because we were in different colleges in intermediate.
Rishitha/FL
📲 But now he’s literally moving in opposite my house! What should I do?! I’m freaking out!!
Downstairs, Rishitha’s mother and father step out of their house to greet the new neighbors. Friendly voices drift up.
Priya/FL Mom
*warmly*
Hello! Welcome to the neighborhood! We’re the Sharma family. I’m Priya, and this is my husband, Santhosh.
Santosh/FL Dad
*smiling politely*
Yes, please let us know if you need any help with shifting. It’s nice to have new neighbors!
purnima/ML Mom
*cheerful*
Thank you so much! We’re the Reddy family. I’m Purnima, and this is my husband, Arjun. We just moved. So nice to meet you!
Arjun/ML Dad
Absolutely, we’ll definitely take your help if needed.
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲*laughing*
Calm down, drama queen! This is your golden chance!
Rishitha/FL
📲Chance for what?
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲Go down right now!
Just say casually, “Hi, how are you? I’m your new neighbour 🙂”
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲Then offer to help them arrange things or carry something light.
Make good bond with his family also...
Rishitha/FL
📲*nervous*
Also??
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲*teasing*
Who knows... they might become your in-laws one day 😏
Rishitha/FL
*face became red*
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲His sister will be your cute younger sister-in-law... And he will be your dear husband\~
Rishitha/FL
📲*face turns tomato red* NAYANIKA!!! Stop teasing na!!I’m hanging up!!
Nayanika/FL Friend
📲*giggling*
Go go go! All the best, future Mrs. Nidhish 😉
Rishitha/FL
*takes a deep breath, still blushing*
Okay... just say hi. It’s normal, right?
Rishitha/FL
She quickly checks her reflection, smooths her hair and heads downstairs.
Rishitha/FL
*stopped in the middle of the way * 💭 should I change my clothes??
No no that might be suspicious who will wear good clothes at noon that too on holidays.
Rishitha/FL
*slapped her forehead and continued walking saw her sister watching TV and eating*
💭 looking just like a pig
Nishita/FL sister
Where are you going buffalo??
Rishitha/FL
To bring shit!
Nishita/FL sister
Ewwww whatt??🤢
Rishitha/FL
that's what pigs like right?? And they like it, you will also like it because you both belong to the same family😂
Nishita/FL sister
*smirking*Your also my family only, means yours also a pig?? 😏
Rishitha/FL
I can't with you
Rishitha/FL
*slapped her forehead and went out *
Outside, Nidhish is carrying a box. The moment Rishitha steps out of her gate, their eyes lock.
Time stops. Her heart skips a beat.
Rishitha/FL
💭 Oh god... he looks even better after 3 years...
Nidhish/ML
*soft surprise in his eyes, staring back*
Both keep looking at each other, completely silent. The air feels charged.
Meanwhile, both sets of parents, who were still chatting politely near the gate, turn to look at their children. They notice the intense eye contact.
Priya/FL Mom
*whispers to her husband, confused*
Santosh... look at them. What’s happening?
Santosh/FL Dad
*raising an eyebrow*
Hmm... strange.
purnima/ML Mom
*softly to her husband*
Arjun... why are they staring at each other like that?
Arjun/ML Dad
*chuckling quietly*
Kids these days...
Both parents exchange puzzled glances, clearly confused by the sudden silent moment between Rishitha and Nidhish.

episode 2
let's start(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
The eye contact lingers for a few more seconds. Both families are watching them curiously.
Nidhish/ML
*soft surprise, still holding the box*
Rishitha…?
Rishitha/FL
*heart skipping, voice slightly breathless*
Hi??.....yeah, it’s me.
Rishitha/FL
I can’t believe you’re moving right opposite my house.
Rishitha/FL
💭*blushing furiously*
Oh god… his voice after 3 years feels so different, deep, sexy- stop what you are thinking idiot. Why is my face burning already?
Priya/FL Mom
*curious, looking between them*
You two know each other?
Nidhish/ML
Yes, aunty. We were classmates in High school.
Rishitha/FL
💭*cheeks pink*
He remembered me...?? Does that mean he also noticed me back then? Stop overthinking, Rishitha!
purnima/ML Mom
Oh, wow! What a lovely coincidence. Come, everyone, let’s not stand here. Help us with these lighter boxes if you don’t mind.
Suddenly, two girls approach from different sides one bubbly and younger, the other elegant and slightly older.
Kamya/ ML sister
*grinning widely as she carries a light box"
Hi, I'm Kamya, his little troublemaker sister.
Nishita/FL sister
And I'm Meera, Rishitha's big sister. Looks like our families are teaming up for this move. Nice to meet you both!
Nidhish/ML
Kamya, don't scare her off on day one. And hello Meera. Appreciate the extra hands.
Kamya/ ML sister
*teasing lightly, winking at Rishitha* Scaring? No way! But bhaiya, you should smile more around pretty neighbors. It makes moving boxes way more fun, right di?
Rishitha/FL
*face turning pink instantly* Ka-kamya! Um, yeah... let's just focus on the boxes.
Rishitha/FL
💭*Rishitha's internal thoughts racing*
Did she just call me pretty in front of him?!
Rishitha/FL
💭My cheeks feel like they're on fire... He probably thinks I'm weird now.
Nishita/FL sister
*chuckling, giving Rishitha a knowing side-eye*
Exactly. Come on, everyone. Dad and Uncle are already carrying the heavy furniture upstairs.
Nishita/FL sister
Rishitha, you take the lighter ones with Nidhish. It'll be quicker that way~
purnima/ML Mom
*from the stairs, calling out cheerfully* Aarav beta, come help with this big one! And bring your new friend too!
Nidhish/ML
*expression turning slightly cold, voice flat*
Yeah... coming.
Rishitha notices the sudden shift in his tone his smile fades when he looks toward his mom.
'Weird... he seems so distant with her. But it's their family matter. Maybe I'm overthinking.' She brushes it off quickly.
She watches for a second, then shakes her head.
Rishitha/FL
*softly to Aarav*
Everything okay?
Nidhish/ML
*quickly masking it with a small nod*
Yeah, all good. Let's get these boxes up.
The group starts moving boxes together.
Nidhish and Rishitha accidentally reach for the same box handle at the same time.
Nidhish/ML
Oh, sorry you take it.
Rishitha/FL
N-No, you first!
*their fingers brush lightly*
Rishitha/FL
💭* pulls back fast, heart pounding*
His hand is so warm... Why does a tiny touch feel like sparks?! Calm down, it's just helping with moving!
Rishitha/FL
💭* heart racing*
but why does every small touch feel like electricity? He’s so close… focus on the box, not his eyes!
Kamya/ ML sister
*giggling from behind, carrying pillows*
Aww, look at that teamwork! You two are syncing so well already. Like a perfect pair for arranging rooms~
Nishita/FL sister
*smirking while stacking small boxes* True. Rishitha is usually so organized, but today she's extra careful around certain people.
Nishita/FL sister
Must be the new environment... or company.
Rishitha/FL
*whispering embarrassed*
Di, stop it!
Nidhish/ML
*chuckling softly at Rishitha’s reaction*
Ignore them. They’ll get tired of teasing eventually.
Rishitha/FL
💭*smiling shyly*
His chuckle is so cute… I could get used to this. But slow down, heart!.
Rishitha/FL
*trying to change the topic, handing him books*
So… which college did you choose?
Nidhish/ML
Still thinking. What about you?
Kamya/ ML sister
*carrying small cushions, smirking*
Look at that… old classmates suddenly become neighbours. Destiny is playing games?
Nishita/FL sister
*laughing*
Haan, You two already look so comfortable together.
Nidhish/ML
Kamya, pass me that tape instead of commenting.
episode 3
Nidhish's dad and Rishitha's dad laugh while lifting a heavy wardrobe together.
Kamya and Nishita keep passing water bottles doing mischievous thighs like
Kamya "accidentally" pushing Rishitha closer to Nidhish while arranging hallway boxes.
Kamya/ ML sister
Oops! Careful di, don't trip over my foot. Stay close to bhaiya for safety!
Rishitha/FL
*Blushing deeper*
Kamya!!
Later, Rishitha picks up a medium-sized box labeled "Nidhish's Clothes" to carry to his room.
It's heavier than it looks. She starts walking up the stairs carefully.
Rishitha/FL
*to herself*
I can do this... just to his room.
She starts walking towards his room but trips over a small box on the floor.
She falls forward. The box slips from her hands, tumbles, and the lid pops open. .
Clothes spill out... including a few pairs of his boxers and underwear scattered on the floor right in front of her
Rishitha/FL
*on the floor, face turning tomato red*
O-Oh no...!
Rishitha/FL
💭No, no, no no!!! His... his underwears?! Right there! Black one, blue one...
Rishitha/FL
💭why the he llam i counting them while watching theire colours*slapped forehead*
Rishitha/FL
💭why are they so... normal yet I'm dyIng?! Don't look, don't look! My face is on fire. He must think I'm such a klutz!
Nidhish/ML
*rushing over, eyes wide*
Rishitha! Are you okay?!
He kneels quickly and starts picking up the clothes, trying to stuff them back in the box fast. His ears are red too.
She pushes the last visible underwear into the box superfast, her ears bright red.
Nidhish/ML
*awkwardly, not meeting her eyes at first*
Don't worry, it's fine. Just... um, clothes.
Nidhish/ML
You didn't hurt yourself, right?
Rishitha/FL
*sitting up, covering her cheeks with hands, voice tiny*
I-I'm so sorry! I tripped and... and it opened...
Rishitha/FL
I didn't mean to see... those...
Rishitha/FL
I swear it's a total accident.
Rishitha/FL
💭Kill me now. His underwear is literally two feet from my face. He has a nice taste though
Rishitha/FL
💭 wait, what am I thinking?! Shut up, brain! This is the most embarrassing moment of my life.
Rishitha/FL
💭 But... he looks worried about me, not angry. Cute... no, focus on dying of shame!
Kamya/ ML sister
*peeking from below with Nishitha, barely holding back laughter*
Oh wow... everything okay up there? Need help picking up... things.
Kamya/ ML sister
*giggling, gasp dramatically* Oh my god, bhaiya's secret collection revealed!
Nishita/FL sister
*Teasing indirectly*
Rishu is always so helpful, but accidents make the best memories, right?
Nishita/FL sister
Especially when you're carrying someone's personal stuff~
Nishita/FL sister
*laughing lightly* Careful, Rishu. Next time let the strong guy carry the heavy ones, huh?
Rishitha/FL
*groaning, still red*
You both are the worst...
Nidhish/ML
*finally looking at her, soft smile despite his own blush*
Hey, really, it's okay.
Nidhish/ML
It happens sometimes. Here, let me help you up.
He offers his hand. Rishitha takes it hesitantly. The touch sends another spark.
Nidhish/ML
*gently*
See? No big deal. Thanks for trying to help with my stuff anyway.
Rishitha/FL
Standing, still blushing but smiling shyly*
Y-Yeah...
Rishitha/FL
💭He saw me with his underwear box... This is the most embarrassing day ever! But... he helped so gently.
Rishitha/FL
💭Why does that make my stomach flip even more? Nidhish... you're making it hard to stay normal around you.
They share a small, awkward but sweet laugh as he closes the box properly this time.
Kamya/ ML sister
*whispering to Nishitha*
They are totally going to remember this moment forever.
Nishita/FL sister
*nodding*
And I'll tease them about it for years.
Rishitha follows Nidhish into the room, still blushing, as the sisters exchange knowing looks below.
