Dil Hai Tumhara

Unexpected Encounters

Kartik and Naira find themselves bumping into each other on campus.

Kartik hurried through the bustling campus, his mind preoccupied with the upcoming exam. Lost in thought, he collided with someone, sending their papers flying in every direction. Flustered, he bent down to help collect the scattered sheets.

"I'm so sorry," Kartik said, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I wasn't looking where I was going."

The person he bumped into looked up, and a familiar smile graced her lips. It was Naira. "No worries, accidents happen," she replied, her voice warm and forgiving.

As they gathered the last of the papers, their fingers accidentally brushed against each other, igniting a jolt of electricity that coursed through their bodies. They locked eyes, a mix of surprise and recognition flickering between them.

"Kartik, right?" Naira asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

He nodded, a sheepish smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Yes, and you're Naira. We seem to keep running into each other."

Naira chuckled softly. "Indeed, it seems the universe is determined to bring us together."

A comfortable silence enveloped them, and Kartik mustered the courage to ask, "Would you like to grab a coffee sometime? It would be nice to talk without the chaos of campus around us."

Naira's eyes lit up, her smile growing wider. "I'd love that. Coffee sounds perfect."

And so, they exchanged numbers, their paths intertwining once again as they embarked on another serendipitous encounter.

In the weeks that followed, Kartik and Naira found themselves sharing more than just coffee. They discovered a shared love for long walks, engaging debates, and midnight conversations about life and its mysteries. Their encounters became more intentional, the conversations deeper, and the connection between them impossible to ignore.

One sunny afternoon, as they sat on a bench overlooking the campus, Kartik turned to Naira, a mix of curiosity and nervousness in his eyes. "Naira, I feel like there's something special between us. Am I imagining it, or do you feel it too?"

Naira's gaze softened, her fingers interlacing with his. "Kartik, I've been feeling it too. This connection we have-it's unlike anything I've ever experienced before. It's as if the universe conspired to bring us together."

A surge of joy and relief washed over Kartik, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels it. Naira, I want to get to know you better, to explore this bond between us. Would you give me the chance?"

Naira's eyes sparkled with affection. "Kartik, I'd be honored. Let's see where this journey takes us."

And in that moment, their paths converged once again, as they embraced the promise of something extraordinary blooming from their unexpected encounters. Little did they know that this was just the beginning of a love story that would leave an indelible mark on their lives.
