My Top Secret: I love happy endings because I know my life won't have one, reading an imaginary character's happily ever after somehow makes me happy, as if it's me who got a happy ending.

Once in her childhood, Baano put her finger into a socket when it was switched on - and a wave of electricity passed into her body. Her tiny finger turned painfully red while she kept wailing for constant two hours.
But today the shock she experienced was bigger than any electric shock. Because humans are more dangerous than electricity.
We know how electricity works but we don't know how an individual's mind works.
Mind is a misconception. However, I believe that the mind is a battlefield where the brain and heart fight. And at that moment Baano's brain and heart were battling against each other. The reason was Armaan.
Her heart wanted to beat him with her Dadi's stick. While her brain wanted to kick him at his most precious territory.
However, both ideas had drawbacks.
She can't beat him with her Dadi's stick for three reasons. First, she has made a century in beating boys with her Dadi's stick. So it's kind of boring for her now. Second, she has broken her Dadi's numerous sticks due to her beating sessions. Her Dadi had warned her to never even touch her stick again. And third, who will travel from Patiala to Hoshiarpur only to bring a stick.
She can't kick him at that part as well because of only one reason which is that she has fractured her leg while dancing.
She thought of other ideas.
Why not slap him in front of the whole crowd? But it would look too melodramatic.
Then spill water on his face? Just like Anil Kapoor spilled water on Madhuri Dixit in the Pukaar movie. But then she will look like those self-centered, arrogant vamps of dramas.
Or smack his head with something hard? But he is taller than her. How she will reach the height of his head to smack it?
By the way, why she is so eager to ruin Armaan's peace?
Because The Armaan Gill went to Hoshiarpur to meet her parents. And politely asked them,
"Can I date your daughter?"
Yeah, not your expected marriage proposal, but a dating proposal.
Her parents respectfully threw him out of their home. And then narrated the whole happening to her on the call. And right now she was fuming with anger.
Well, she wasn't sure what she would do, but she is Baano. Whatever it would be, it will destroy the word "Peace" from Armaan's world.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Armaan rang the doorbell of- you already know on whose doorsteps it would be.
It's been two months since he has initiated theconversation with Baano. From Baano's side, they are not even friends, just acquaintances, but from his side, he has already decided to have a destination wedding.
