Aryansh and Adhriti's days started early, each heading to their respective commitments. Aryansh and Dhruv made their way to the XYZ Hospital, ready for another intense day of their internship. Adhriti and Shanaya left for their classes at DU, juggling their MBA coursework.

Every night after dinner, the four of them—Aryansh, Adhriti, Dhruv, and Shanaya—strolled through the society's beautiful garden. It was during these walks that Aryansh's feelings for Adhriti grew stronger, while Adhriti felt a budding crush but remained unsure about calling it love.

One weekend, after returning from a visit to her brother Kavya, Adhriti found herself alone. Dhruv had gone home for a small Puja, leaving Aryansh to fend for himself. Shanaya, having spent the day out with Adhriti shopping and watching movies, received a call from her maternal aunt inviting her over. Worried about leaving Adhriti alone, Shanaya hesitated, but Adhriti assured her she would be fine.

Back in her apartment, Adhriti embraced her solitude. She played "Mere Khwaboon Mein Jo Aaye" from DDLJ, filling the apartment with lively music. As she cleaned and did her chores, she found joy in the little things, dancing around and singing along.

Aryansh, meanwhile, had a long and tiring day at the hospital. Knowing that Rita Aunty, the housekeeper, wouldn't be coming since she had gone to her village, he resigned himself to making his own dinner. After a refreshing shower, he prepared a simple meal of noodles.

With a steaming bowl in hand, Aryansh stepped out onto his balcony. The night was calm, a gentle breeze carrying the distant hum of the city. He leaned back in his chair, savoring the moment of peace.

As Adhriti finished her chores, she too found herself on her balcony, the same gentle breeze ruffling her hair. She noticed Aryansh across the way, looking relaxed and content. Their eyes met, and they shared a smile, a silent acknowledgment of the comfort they found in each other's presence even from a distance.

Adhriti's phone buzzed with a call from her parents. She picked up with a bright, "Hi Mom, Hi Dad!" They chatted warmly, Adhriti reminding them to take some time for themselves.

After the call, she leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the stars. Aryansh watched her, his heart swelling with affection. He wanted to walk over, to spend the evening talking and laughing like they did on their walks, but he respected her need for solitude.

Instead, he raised his bowl in a mock toast, catching her attention. Adhriti giggled and raised an imaginary glass in return. In that simple gesture, Aryansh felt the warmth of their bond. He knew he was falling for her, and while Adhriti wasn't sure yet if it was love, she felt a connection that made her heart flutter.

In the quiet of the night, surrounded by the familiar comfort of their society, they found a moment of togetherness, each on their own balcony, yet closer than ever.

It was a peaceful Sunday morning, and Aryansh was lost in a dream about Adhriti, affectionately called Aadu. In his dream, they were laughing and enjoying a day out together. Suddenly, the insistent ringing of his doorbell pulled him from his slumber. The bell rang two or three times, and finally, with a groan, he got up to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, any remnants of sleep vanished. Standing there was Adhriti, her damp hair cascading down her shoulders, dressed in a beautiful kurti and small jhumkas. She held a hotcase and a kettle, and her smile was as radiant as the morning sun.

"Good morning," Aryansh said, his voice filled with surprise and happiness.

"Good morning," Adhriti replied warmly. "I heard that Rita Aunty isn't coming today, so I thought I'd make you breakfast. I brought paranthas and tea."

Aryansh's heart swelled with gratitude and affection. "That’s so thoughtful of you. Please, come in."

Adhriti entered and placed the food on the table. "Go get ready quickly, and then we can have breakfast together," she said with a smile.

Aryansh nodded, still in awe of her kindness. He quickly took a shower and got dressed, feeling more energized and excited than he had in days. When he returned, Adhriti was waiting patiently, her eyes bright with anticipation.

"Sit down, I'll serve you," she said, gesturing to the table.

Aryansh sat down, and Adhriti served him a plate of hot paranthas. He took a bite and immediately moaned in delight. "These are amazing, Adhriti," he said, his eyes twinkling with appreciation.

Blushing, Adhriti said, "Thank you, I'm glad you like them." They shared the breakfast, chatting and laughing, enjoying each other's company.

After they finished eating, Adhriti got up to clean the utensils, but Aryansh stopped her. "You made this delicious breakfast, let me handle the cleaning," he insisted.

Adhriti stood by, watching as Aryansh cleaned the dishes, their conversation flowing effortlessly. They talked about their weeks, their plans, and their dreams.

Once the kitchen was tidy, Aryansh turned to Adhriti and asked, "So, what's your plan for today?"

Adhriti shrugged, "I don't have any plans today. I'm free."

A smile spread across Aryansh's face. "How about we go to the amusement park?"

Adhriti's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes! I'd love that."

He chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Great! Let's get ready and head out."

They both prepared for the outing, and soon they were on their way, taking the metro to the amusement park. The journey was filled with laughter and light-hearted conversation, the anticipation of the day ahead making them both feel like kids again.
