The clamor of the Delhi airport was a cacophony of excited greetings, blaring announcements, and the insistent drone of paparazzi. Reyansh, ever the composed scientist, navigated the chaos with practiced ease, a hand protectively guiding his niece Avi, her blonde curls bouncing with excitement. Saarayu trailed behind, a wry smile playing on her lips as news reporters jostled for interviews.

"Dr. Reyansh Malhotra, a pleasure to have you back in India! Can you tell us about your groundbreaking research?"

"Is it true you're dating your stunning companion? Congratulations!"

Saarayu rolled her eyes, the absurdity of the situation washing over her. The news articles in America, painting her as Reyansh's "secret girlfriend," had been amusing at first. Now, facing the frenzy of the Indian media, it was becoming a bit overwhelming.

Reyansh, however, handled the barrage of questions with practiced diplomacy. He deflected inquiries about his personal life with a polite smile, focusing on his res

    The following days unfolded in a whirlwind of activity. Reyansh, fueled by strong coffee and a renewed sense of purpose after his successful surgery, threw himself back into his research.

"Seems like the media had a field day with us."Saarayu peeked over the newspaper, a mock glare on her face. "Thanks to you, Dr. Nobel Laureate," she quipped. "Now I have reporters camped outside my door, asking if I'm your secret girlfriend."Reyansh chuckled, walking towards her and taking the newspaper gently from her hands. "Honestly, Saarayu, I have no idea how those pictures got out. I certainly didn't leak them."Saarayu studied his f

    The afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the window of Dr. Saarayu Patel's office, illuminating the concerned frown etched on Revanth's young face. A college student with a mop of unruly brown hair and eyes that held a dullness that belied his age, Revanth had hesitantly sought counseling after weeks of feeling lost and unmotivated."So," Dr. Saarayu began, her voice gentle yet firm, "you mentioned feeling down lately. Can you tell me a bit more about what's been going on?"Revanth shifted in his chair, picking at the edge of his worn notebook. "It's just… everything feels pointless, Dr. Patel. Like I'm going through the motions, but there's no spark anymore. College feels overwhelming, my social life is nonexistent, and even things I used to enjoy don't seem to bring any joy."Saarayu listened patiently, nodding in understanding. This was a familiar territory for her, both as a doctor and as someone who had witnessed similar struggles in her friend, Reyansh."It sounds like you're

    Heera kept glancing at her watch and then out at the road, her impatience growing with every passing minute. "How much longer to the railway station?" she demanded in an irritated tone. "If I miss the Tirupati train, you'll have to get me there in this auto.""Madam, why don't you book a cab?" the auto-driver suggested.She forced a tight smile. "I didn't ask for advice. Just focus on driving."After what seemed like an eternity, but was only 15 minutes, Heera jumped out of the auto, paid the driver, and dashed into the railway station. Her heart sank as she saw the train slowly pulling away from the platform. In her haste, she stumbled over someone's luggage and fell to the ground."No! Oh, God, no!" she cried out, watching helplessly as the train picked up speed and disappeared from sight.Meanwhile, the owner of the fallen luggage approached, exclaiming, "Oh no!" as he spotted his suitcase on the ground.He stretched out his hand to retrieve his luggage, but Heera, still dazed from

    Both boarded the train and settled into seats opposite each other by the windows, each determined to ignore the other. Revanth sipped his juice and gazed out at the passing scenery, trying to relax.His phone rang, and he answered it with a sigh. "Hi, dude... You won't believe my luck. I planned to enjoy a trip with my family, but guess what? I'm stuck traveling with a dinosaur."Heera shot him a furious look, her eyes practically blazing.Just then, the ticket collector (T.C.) arrived. "Tickets, please," he requested.Heera handed over her ticket without a word. The T.C. then turned to Revanth."Sir, I showed you both our tickets, right?" Revanth said with a smirk.The T.C. looked confused. "I need to see both tickets separately, sir."Revanth sighed dramatically and pulled out his ticket, handing it to the T.C.As the T.C. moved on, Heera couldn't resist a jab. "Looks like even the T.C. knows better than to trust your word."Revanth rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. He was just doing hi

    Revanth suddenly remembered something and jumped down, snatching his bag. Heera looked at him, bewildered. "What's wrong with you?""Ahh! My leg!" he exclaimed, acting as if he was in pain."Are you okay?" she asked, concerned."Yes! I mean, no!" he replied, wincing.She helped him sit down, checking his foot to see if it was hurt. She applied some balm, her touch gentle and caring.Revanth suppressed a laugh, recalling the gift he had brought for her. His antics were part of his plan."Are you okay now?" she asked, looking up at him with worry.He nodded, trying to maintain his act. "Yes, thanks to you.""Be careful next time," she said, her tone softening.Heera went back to her seat, and Revanth rummaged through his bag. He pulled out a small, neatly wrapped package. Approaching her, he extended the gift towards her."What’s this?" she asked, surprised."A peace offering," he said with a genuine smile. "I brought it for you."She took the gift, unwrapping it carefully. Inside was
