✨ Story Continues…
⏳ Time Skip – After Break
Break time ended.
Kartik and Naira walked back to class—
Still laughing.
Still smiling.
They took their seats.
Naira sat with her friends, talking normally—
As if nothing had happened.
But deep inside—
Something had changed.
⏳ Time Skip – School Over
The final bell rang.
Students packed their bags and rushed out.
🌸 At Naira's Side
She walked home with her group.
On the way, she said softly,
"Shivik… don't tell anyone about what happened in class today."
Shivik nodded.
"Okay. Don't worry."
Naira smiled slightly.
🖤 At Kartik's Side
Kartik reached home.
"Mom, is lunch ready?" he called out.
Without waiting for an answer—
He went straight to his room.
He lay down on his bed.
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking.
Naira crying…
Tanya's behavior…
And their moments together.
🌙 Night
Kartik called his group.
"I feel like Tanya is planning something against Naru…"
Shivansh replied,
"Yeah… I think the same."
Virat added,
"We should keep an eye on her."
Everyone agreed.
"Okay."
Then Shivik said casually,
"And anyway… Arooh is too innocent in friendship matters…"
Silence.
Kartik frowned.
"Wait… who is Arooh?"
Shivik smirked.
"Naira."
Pause.
"She didn't tell you?"
Kartik repeated softly,
"Arooh…?"
The group started teasing.
"Ohooo… Arooh…"
Kartik smiled slightly—
But stayed quiet.
Somewhere—
He liked that name.
🌙 At Naira's Side
She lay on her bed.
Thinking.
Tanya said I ignore them…
Is it true?
Do I only talk to Kartik and his group now…?
Her thoughts tangled.
Confusing her.
After a moment—
She shook her head.
"No… I'm overthinking."
She closed her eyes.
And slowly—
Fell asleep.
🌙 At Kartik's Side
He also fell asleep.
With one name in his mind—
Arooh.
🌅 Next Day
A new morning.
New emotions.
And maybe—
A new problem.
🌅 School Campus
The campus felt fresh and calm.
Students slowly entered.
🌸 At Naira's Side
Naira walked with Surbhi.
Talking casually.
But suddenly—
She felt it.
Someone watching her.
She turned.
Kartik.
Standing a little far—
Looking at her.
Smiling.
She frowned slightly.
Why is he smiling like that?
She walked toward him.
"Hii, Kit…"
Kartik smiled softly.
"Hii…"
For a moment—
He just kept looking at her.
Naira raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
Kartik leaned a little closer.
And said softly—
"Nothing… Arooh."
⚡ Pause
Naira froze.
"W-what did you say?"
Kartik smirked slightly.
"Arooh."
Naira's eyes widened.
"How do you know that name?!"
Kartik crossed his arms playfully.
"Sources."
Naira got a little embarrassed.
"No one calls me that here…"
Kartik's voice softened.
"I will."
Silence.
Naira looked at him.
Her heartbeat slightly faster.
"Only close people call me that…"
She said—without thinking.
Kartik smiled gently.
"Then… let me be one."
Naira didn't reply.
But her cheeks turned slightly pink.
To change the moment—
She said quickly,
"Let's go… we're getting late for prayer."
Kartik nodded.
"Yeah… let's go, Arooh."
This time—
She didn't stop him.
🌸 Assembly
They walked together.
Not too close.
Not too far.
But something—
Had changed.
During prayer—
Once—
Just once—
Their eyes met.
And both smiled.
🌑 From the Side…
Tanya saw everything.
Her expression darkened.
"Now even nicknames…?"
Her jealousy was growing.
Slowly.
Silently.
🔥 Ending Line
Some names are just words…
But some names… feel like belonging.
