The next day, Nitya woke up feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. She had a feeling that today would be different, but she wasn't sure why. As she got ready for the day, she couldn't help but think about Manav and their conversation at the café.

Arriving at the campus, she met up with Anu and the rest of her friends. They chatted and laughed, but Nitya's mind kept drifting back to Manav. She wondered if she would see him today.
