EPISODE 1- THE BEGINNING

Episode 1 Begins with a girl standing outside her college gate. It is her first day, and she is extremely nervous. Students are walking past her, laughing and talking, while she stands there quietly holding the strap of her bag tightly.

She takes a deep breath and looks at the huge college building in front of her.

“What if I can’t fit in here?” she thinks nervously.

At the same time, from a distance, a boy is watching her silently.

His eyes stay fixed on her as if he has been searching for her for a very long time.

A faint smile appears on his face.

“Finally…” he thinks to himself. “I found you.”

Then the boy walks inside the college too.

A few moments later, he notices the girl standing alone in the hallway, looking confused while checking different classroom numbers again and again.

The boy slowly walks toward her.

“Do you need any help?” he asks calmly.

The girl looks at him for a second before replying softly, “Yes… I can’t find my classroom.”

“I can help you,” he says.

Then he asks for her class, and the girl tells him.

After hearing it, the boy smiles slightly.

“I’m in the same class too,” he says. “Come on, let’s go together.”

For some strange reason…

The moment she starts walking beside him, her nervousness begins to fade.

As they walked through the hallway together, an awkward silence stayed between them for a few seconds.

Then the girl looked at him and asked softly, “By the way… what’s your name?”

The boy glanced at her before answering, “Vivaan.”

A small smile appeared on her face. “Nice name.”

He looked at her for a moment and then asked, “And yours?”

“My name is Avni,” she replied.

Vivaan repeated her name quietly, almost as if he was remembering something important.

“Avni…” he said softly. “It’s a nice name too.”

“Thank you,” she smiled. “Your name is nice as well.”

For the first time, a faint smile appeared on Vivaan’s face.

Soon, they finally reached their classroom.

Students were already inside, talking loudly, laughing, cheering, and taking pictures.

The entire atmosphere was full of excitement.

“It really feels like college life is finally starting,” Avni said quietly while looking around.

Vivaan looked at her instead of the classroom.

“For some people,” he murmured softly.

Avni didn’t hear him properly.

“What?”

“Nothing,” he replied calmly.

After looking around for a moment, they found empty seats near the window in the first row and sat down there together.

Warm sunlight entered through the window while the noise of excited students filled the classroom.

And unknowingly—

That seat beside the window was where their story truly began.

Avni looked around the classroom with curious eyes while students continued talking excitedly.

“This place is louder than I expected,” she whispered softly.

Vivaan looked at her calmly. “You’ll get used to it.”

Before Avni could reply, a cheerful voice suddenly interrupted them.

“Excuse me… can I sit here?”

Both of them looked up.

A girl stood beside their bench with a bright smile on her face. She looked confident and energetic compared to Avni’s nervousness.

“Yeah, sure,” Avni replied quickly, moving her bag a little.

The girl sat down beside her and smiled warmly.

“Thanks! I’m Vidhi.”

“I’m Avni,” she replied.

The girl then looked toward Vivaan.

“And you?”

“Vivaan,” he answered shortly.

Vidhi nodded with a grin. “Looks like we survived the first day already.”

Avni laughed softly. “Barely.”

The three of them slowly started talking while the classroom filled with noise and excitement around them.

For the first time that morning—

Avni felt like maybe college wouldn’t be so difficult after all.

But beside her, Vivaan stayed unusually quiet for a moment.

Because after years of waiting to finally sit beside her again—
