CHAPTER 1
Who am I..? Why does this question haunt me every day I think of sleep…. I’m an orphan..but get everything more than any normal girl would get….I always feel like someone is watching me from far…every step I take …my every wish…everything in my life is a mystery to me which I should solve at any cost to find the true me…I don’t know how…but I really hope I will find someone in my life who would love me… support me…and help me to find the true me..!
“Kitna drama queen hein re tuh..!” akhil said. Aradhya laughed and said
“Woh tho mein hunn..!”
“By the way you got two who love you …”
Aradhya gave him a questioning look…
“One tera friend…yani me…aand twwwoooooo…”he searched for rahul (aradhya’s crush)who was sitting in the other side of the class..And pointed him…
“Shut up.!”Aradhya said rolling her eyes…
After a second both bursted out into laughter making whole class look at them..
**********************
The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when..aradhya found this in akhil..he was a good frnd to Aradhya..it grew more strong when Aradhya realized that akhil is that friend who supports her when she is need…she found that one , whom she could completely trust no matter what..! time changes everthing…one side they became best friends…the other side…the crush on rahul was ended due to circumstances…it was their graduation day when rahul finally told his heart out to Aradhya but it was too late… at a moment Aradhya hated herself for having a crush on arrogant and self centered person like rahul.. rahul did change..but it was too late that Aradhya started hating him.. both Aradhya and akhil were lost souls..Aradhya had her own problems with her life…akhil had some with his…both knew each other’s weakness and became each other’s strength .this is how both started a new life with akhil Aradhya and akhil’s mom for whom Aradhya became more than a daughter…

“we are here on the terrifying scene of attack in this city again…it’s not been long time when we heard about hotel park..Not many days to recover hotel Shangri la’s is being occupied by the unknown attackers..Hotel staff is been sent out and the people inside are terribly shivering due to fear..The reason is still unknown and the cops down are waiting for their demand…”
“What is wrong with these people ..?”Akhil said out of frustration but saw Aradhya was already sleeping and not listening to him…
“Aru..!”He shouted to gain her attention

“WHAT THE F*CK” Aradhya yelled
“Better don’t ignore me next time…” he says playfully and starts going away…araydhya grab hold of him circling his neck with her arms…
“better don’t disturb my sleep next time..”she says with a playful smirk and turns back to go back to her sleep..
This time he catches her hand twists it back but carefully that she doesn’t get hurt..
“u would have missed your hero if I dint wake you up…I was so concerned that you shouldn’t miss him…and you treat your innocent friend like this..?”he says…trying to control his laughter to the maximum extent ..cause he himself knows how stupid he is being right now…but the main motive was irritating Aradhya …
“What should I do now..?”Aradhya’s asks laughing
“Apologize”
“and what if I dint..?”she says turning back trying to look at his expression with the same smiling face…
“tuh hi bolegiii…wait.. ” he says with a naughty smirk tightening his grip on her..

“Yes Tina..?”he says with a stern voice.
“they will be here in ten minutes sir..you should probably get ready for the presentation..”
“We’ll be there in five minutes .you can leave now.”he says
“yes sir”… ‘another poster today’ she thought before leaving and left the cabin…
“so where were we…ha ..apologize..!”
“acha sorry…chal ab…” she says and both leave

“I hate u Mr. akhil singh . U are a cheater… !”
A girl is shouting at akhil…
“no …. Im not a cheater…”
AKHIL jerked off and woke up…
‘Same dream again….why the hell is this not leaving me at all…. I HATE YOU… I.. HATE…. YOU…..he was sweating very badly in the ac room…its been six years since the incident happened and yet he gets the same dream again and again…aradhya was about to open the door she heard everything…it was like this since they met…aradhya tried so hard to bring him to the normal state .he was fully recovered but the dream it keeps coming again and again…akhil dint wanted Aradhya to be worried about this sho he jumped back to bed acting as if he was in the deep slumber…
‘Who the hell is this girl… I hate her for making my akki like this… I still donno the full reason but I know he needs his space… time aanepe who khud mujhe batayega… and apne app ko over smart samjtha hain.. budhu kaheeka…. I slowly opened the door….he was sleeping… my akki looks so cute while sleeping… though he is acting right now…
Aradhya wanted to cheer him up..atleast make him shout so that he could forget about his dream..she slowly walked to him took the glass of water and splashed them on his face…
“good morning.!”she said with the brightest smile on her face…
Neil woke up with a jerk…
“I really wish u have a splash day… just like this.!”
“really…?” with a fake anger on his face…though he enjoys her antics
Aradhya gave a peck on his cheeks and ran out of the room for jogging before he could catch her…
It was time for aradhya to come back from jogging… akhil was walking here and there checking the main door at least twice in five seconds and finally there was sound of opening gate….
‘stick to your plan… don’t shift ur mind and please don’t see her face…’
He was telling to himself with a playful smirk on his face
He slowly went beside the door hid himself behind it catching a bucket full of water in his hands….a soon as she entered akhil splashed whole water on her….
“ab aaya maza….” akhil said… and realized it wasn’t Aradhya whom he splashed water on…
‘Oh my god…Aru is coming from back… then who is the girl I threw water…?’
“O SHITTTT”
“what the f**kk!”the girl said and looked up…
“im so sorry I thought it was aru..!”he said but as soon as he saw her Face…
“what the..!”he said with a lone tear passing through his eye…
