Its All About Love And Trust

Part 8

Flashback:

Arnav's POV:

I was 18, i just got my 12th results and as unexpected it may sound i scored the highest. But then i was still not happy, seeing how my uncle was working hard for providing for the family.

I wanted to use my result to do something big. But then i had no idea.
I was always good in arts, one day i was really stressed not knowing what to do, i just on a corner bench in a park, and just to release my stress, i started painting.

Suddenly two girls came and sat beside me.
I could feel their gaze on me, but still kept doing my work.

Suddenly one of them started talking.

Girl 1: hey. you are such a great artist..

Arnav: thanks.

Girl 2: what happend? you are tensed!

Arnav: nothing.

Girl 1: you can tell us. we wont judge you. we know everyone faces problems. we too will share our secret with you.

Arnav thought for sometime.

Arnav: okay i will. But then first you start. 

Girl 1: okay. so i will say my secret i own millions, as after my parents death all the properties and money came to me. but i have to hide it for next two years. As i will be 18 after 2 years.

Arnav was shocked how could someone share such a big thing about themselves with a stranger.

Girl 2: okay now turn, my parents died in an accident a year back. And now i am staying in her mansion hiding from others with kaka, and kamala didi.

Arnav was again shocked.

Arnav: how can you share such big secrets with a stranger.

Girl 1: because we trust you.

arnav: and how can you trust me? i might just kill you two here, and run away taking all your money.

Girl 2: if you could even be thinking like this you wouldnt have asked us in the first place.  So we trust you.

Arnav: Okay, my secret is, i lost my parents too. now i am living with nani and mama. but seeing my mama working day and night i just to help him. I dont know what to do.

He turns to the girls and see them sharing glances with each other.

Arnav: what happened?

Girl 1: umm, do you want to go abroad for higher studies? have you heard about harvard university?

Arnav: ofcourse i have. but why are you asking? oh no. i cant take your help you know. we dont even know each other!

Girl 2:  no actually we are going there, i have got scholarship there for fashion designing. There are still few spaces for scholarship students. ans seeing you drawing, i can say you are much better than me. So you can apply.
