Nestled in the majestic Himalayan foothills, Shimla stands as a picturesque jewel in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. Renowned as the "Queen of Hills," this enchanting hill station captivates visitors with its colonial charm, lush landscapes, and a serene ambiance that has made it a beloved destination for generations.

In Shimla, where the whispers of fate painted the destiny of those left without parents, a little girl named Manyata emerged as a radiant soul, defying the shadows of her past. Found as a mere three-day-old baby on the doorstep of an orphanage, her name, ironically meaning "recognition," held a poignant irony as she grew up without the recognition of her own lineage.

The orphanage, once a sanctuary for lost souls, became Manyata's haven. The initial days were tough, marked by the absence of family and the echoes of an unknown past. Yet, she faced life with unwavering determination, turning every obstacle into a stepping stone.

Manyata's spirit was a breath of fresh air in the somber corridors of the orphanage. Her infectious laughter, chirpy demeanor, and unyielding positivity illuminated the lives of those around her. She became a symbol of hope, proving that happiness could be found even in the absence of a conventional family.

In the sixth standard, fate intertwined her journey with that of Kajal, another orphan destined to navigate the same corridors of uncertainty. Kajal, a quiet girl sitting in the corner of the school, found solace in Manyata's cheerful presence. Bonding over shared stories of loss and resilience, they became kindred spirits, finding in each other the family they had always longed for.

United by their shared pasts, Manyata and Kajal faced the challenges of life together. With time, they transformed into strong, independent women. The scars of their pasts became the source of strength, motivating them to create a future filled with joy and purpose.

Today, Manyata and Kajal stand as successful entrepreneurs, founders of "Precious Moments," an event management company that specializes in turning ordinary occasions into extraordinary memories. Their journey, marked by struggles and triumphs, has led them to an apartment near the orphanage that once cradled their dreams.

Despite the busy lives they lead, every weekend, Manyata and Kajal return to the orphanage, not as lost souls seeking refuge, but as beacons of inspiration for the children who still call it home. Their laughter and stories echo in the same corridors where they once found solace, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of friendship forged in the crucible of adversity.

The cozy apartment hums with the rhythmic sounds of chores being carried out. Manyata, with a cheerful demeanor, diligently goes about her housework, a glow of contentment on her face. Kajal, her best friend and roommate, can't help but roll her eyes at Manyata's seemingly perpetual state of bliss.

Suddenly, Manyata's phone rings, breaking the quiet routine. The name "Rohan Srivastav" flashes on the screen, and an immediate spark lights up Manyata's eyes. She answers with a warm "Hello," her voice dripping with affection.

Kajal, who observes the scene with an amused yet slightly irritated expression, continues folding laundry, feigning indifference. She's well aware that this call is from Rohan, the PT teacher who collided with Manyata's life in a not-so-accidental way. Few months ago in the school where Kajal and Manyata preparing for the event, they were the in charge. They met Rohan that time in the school. Later Rohan slowly slowly began the friendship and after that Manyata and Rohan started dating.

As Manyata engages in sweet banter with Rohan, her laughter fills the room, echoing the happiness that has become a constant since Rohan entered her life. Kajal, however, wears an expression that speaks of suspicion and discomfort.

It's not like that Kajal is not happy for her she is very happy that finally her best friend can get the love of her life but Kajal always felt suspicious about Rohan he was way to good which was bothering her, and she really does not like Rohan she believes Manyata deserves better. 

After the call ends, Manyata catches Kajal's disapproving gaze. Curiosity getting the better of her, Manyata approaches Kajal, who is sorting through clothes, and asks, "Kya hua hai, Kajal? Tu har baar aise kyun muh bana leti hai jab bhi main Rohan se baat karti hoon?"

Kajal takes a deep breath before expressing her concern. "Look, Manu, mujhe koi problem nahi hai tere relationship se. But pata nahi kyun, yeh banda Rohan mujhe sahi nahi lagta. I mean, he's too good to be true. Pata nahi , tuje usmein aisa kya dikha?"

Manyata, still basking in the afterglow of the call, smiles warmly. "Kabhi kabhi insaan ko zindagi mein shaanti, aur simple cheezein pasand hoti hai. Issiliye mujhe Rohan pasand hai. Sidha hai, shaant hai, aur simple hai. Mujhe koi complications nahi chahiye apni life mein."

Kajal, unconvinced but not wanting to spoil Manyata's happiness, nods her head. "Alright, Manu. If you're happy, then that's what matters."

As they return to their chores, little does Manyata know that her pursuit of a simple life might be more elusive than she imagines. The shadows of doubt linger in Kajal's mind, but for now, they both continue with their respective worlds, each hoping for the best for the other.
