Meera's pov

As I sit at my desk, the gentle morning light filtering through the clouds, I can't help but feel a sense of calm wash over me. The events of yesterday replay in my mind like a cherished memory, each moment etched with the warmth of his smile and the sweetness of his words. His compliments linger in my thoughts, filling me with a fluttering sensation in my stomach that I can't quite explain.

I find myself lost in reverie, gazing out the window at the sky above, its vast expanse stretching out before me like a canvas waiting to be painted. The cool breeze that drifts in through the open window carries with it a sense of possibility, a whisper of the adventures that await beyond the horizon.

I can't help but smile as I recall the way he looked at me, his eyes sparkling with kindness and affection. There's something about him that draws me in, a magnetic pull that I find myself unable to resist. In his presence, I feel seen, heard, and understood in a way that I've never experienced before.

As I reflect on our conversations, I realize how effortlessly we connect, how seamlessly our thoughts and feelings flow between us. It's as if we speak a language all our own, one that transcends words and bridges the gap between our hearts.

But amidst the joy and excitement of this newfound connection, a hint of uncertainty lingers in the air. I wonder what lies ahead for us, what twists and turns the journey of love has in store. Yet, in this moment, as I sit in the quiet solitude of my room, surrounded by the gentle embrace of the morning, I can't help but feel a sense of hope stirring within me. For in his smile, in his laughter, in his presence, I find the promise of a love that knows no bounds—a love that has the power to light up even the darkest of skies.

As I sit here reminiscing about yesterday's events, a small chuckle escapes my lips as I recall the little scheme orchestrated by Preeti and Rani. It wasn't just a coincidence that I ended up coordinating my outfit with Lakshya's—it was a well-played plan by my mischievous friends.

I had initially chosen to wear a simple white dress for the evening, thinking it would be perfect for the night party. But just as I was about to leave, Preeti and Rani suddenly started insisting that white wasn't the right choice for the occasion. They practically shoved a black dress into my hands, insisting that it would be much more suitable.

In hindsight, I should have realized something was amiss, but at the time, I trusted their judgment and reluctantly changed into the black dress. Little did I know, they had ulterior motives for their fashion intervention.

As I entered the party and caught sight of Lakshya, it all became clear. The sly grins on Preeti and Rani's faces spoke volumes—they had somehow managed to discover what Lakshya would be wearing and orchestrated my outfit change accordingly.

It wasn't until later, when the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, that I realized how they had pulled it off. Lakshya must have posted a photo of his outfit on Instagram, a fact that had completely escaped my notice since I didn't have access to social media.

The realization leaves me both amused and exasperated. Leave it to Preeti and Rani to come up with such a convoluted plan, all in the name of a little harmless mischief. But as I reflect on the events of yesterday, I can't help but feel grateful for their antics. After all, it led to a momentous encounter—one that I'll cherish for a long time to come.

Not having my own phone has always felt like a bit of a hindrance, especially in today's digital age where everyone seems to be constantly connected. While most of my friends are glued to their screens, scrolling through social media feeds and sharing updates with the world, I find myself on the sidelines, observing from afar.
