Present 2019

Aria's Pov

"Come on Aria hurry up, I need to go to my office too." My dad yelled from downstairs as I hurriedly put everything inside my bag, ready for my new college.

After my twelfth I never thought I would land myself in Jaipur for my further studies. I also know who else lives here and I just hope I don't meet him.

I fisted my hands just remembering about the message he sent me two years back just after I was on my way back to home.

I opened that message on my phone and glared at the words written on it.

Hey Aria,

I know you think I love you and all but just want to tell you...I HATE YOU.

You were just a thing to make my girlfriend jealous, we had a fight and what another way to take revenge than to make her jealous?

And yes, never call me again or try to reach me, you're nothing but a loser.

P.S. Inaya is the one I love and just so you know, we're in a relationship since school days.

I fisted the phone in my hand and put it back in my jeans and sighed.

I have still kept the message with me just to remind myself never to trust any boy like Zain.

Or maybe if someday we meet, I would like to ask him why the hell he played with me and my feelings that way, there were many girls for making his girlfriend Inaya jealous but then why only me?

I walked downstairs and bid bye to my mom as she purposely kept a Tiffin box inside my bag even after refusing several times.

I sat beside dad as he drove towards my new college. I desperately prayed to God, that none of the five boys should be in my college and none of those girls too. I hate them, I hate them all and I don't ever want to meet them again.

When my dad had revealed about us shifting to Jaipur, I was confused because I was excited but at the same time I didn't wanted to go there, maybe there were chances that my past would catch up, and I didn't want to take those chances.

"I heard this is one of the best colleges in this state." My dad says as he takes a turn towards the college. I try remembering all the roads and turns he took to the college so it will be easier later on.

"Yeah," I muttered and looked out the window, not really in mood to talk about anything. My dad sighs and went back to driving.

After five minutes we reached a big building and my eyes widened. It really was very big college. I stepped out the car as my dad came towards me and smiled.

"You'll be okay right?" He asks and hand over the bottle I forgot inside the car and put in my bag.

"Yeah dad, don't worry." I gave him a smile as he nodded his head and walked back inside the car. I bid bye to him and waited until he reversed his car and left the premises.

As he left, I clenched my fist hard and took in a long breath and put on a little smile on my face as I looked around to ask someone where my section is. I looked around and saw everyone were either busy in talking with one another or discussing about studies.

That's when I saw two girls getting out of a silver colour Datson Go car. The two of them were heading my way, one girl was wearing a red crop top with navy jeans while the other wore a black hoodie and white jeans, both their hairs were open and were flowing with the slight wind flowing around.

They stopped walking once they saw me staring at them and then the one in red crop top gave me a smile and walked towards me. "Hey, can I help you? You look new here." She says and I nod my head.

She seems nice.

"Uh...yes actually I want to know where is L-13 section for interior designing," I ask as other one in black hoodie joins her and give me a smile too.

"Ahh...interior designing, it's to the left. Come on I'll show you." She says.

"Thank you." I say with a smile.

"By the way I'm Ahana and this is my friend Kaira." The one in red crop top says and then points at the girl with black hoddie, which I assume her name is Kaira.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Aria." I answer and Ahana gave me a smile.

"So, you are new here?" Ahana says striking a conversation.

"Yup, I'm from Delhi, just shifted here." I say as Kaira calls for a boy and he join us.

"What's up foreigner?" The boy puts his arms around Ahana and smiles at Kaira.

Ahana rolls her eyes and hit his arm lightly. "You do this on purpose don't you? I'm sure Ranbir is here and you just put that arm on me to make him jealous." Ahana says and the boy laughs.

Ranbir?

I stop midway as I heard that name. Is this Ranbir the same I met two years back? If he was the one then there are chances that Zain would be here too.

Sensing that I wasn't following them, Ahana and Kaira turn around and looked at me confused.

"Hey you okay Aria? Come on we're almost there and by the way this is another friend Ayaan." She introduced the boy and he gave me a little wave.

"Nice to meet you." Ayaan says to me and looks behind me and smiles. "They are here and yes, I did it to make your always jealous boyfriend more jealous." Ayaan says and Ahana hit him but Ayaan just laughs.

Confused I look behind to see whom are they talking about and then my breath hitches.

There along with Ranbir stood Aarav and Varun as they talked among themselves. They still haven't noticed me. And that is a good sign because I'm going to run away as fast as I can as if a dog is running behind me.

And with that said I started walking fast towards the way Ahana was pointing at earlier. I can hear Ahana and Kaira calling my name as I walked far away from them but only to get bumped with a boy.

I know that because he groaned in response. And that sound was so familiar...that I could tell it was someone that I didn't wanted to ever meet. At least not here.

But I was wrong, as soon as I looked up, I saw Zain standing there rubbing his chest where I hit hard with my head. He still hasn't looked down at me, maybe I should run and go away before he can see me.

But damn him, he looked so good in that navy-blue jacket and white shirt underneath that it was difficult to look away from him. He slowly looked up and his eyes went wide as he saw me.

He froze on his place and looked at me unbelievably as if he didn't believe that I was really here.

I had seen him here, before he could see me and I did know that the chances of him meeting me in this college were 75 per so not showing him that I was a little tinny winy bit excited to see him I said.

"You!!!" I looked at him shocked and stunned as if I just saw him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He demanded in his deep husky tone. I gulped hard at that. Why does he make me nervous whenever I see him?

And boy did his little facial hair looked hot. His hairs were cut short then the last time I saw him, he has a little stubble but the only thing that made me frozen were his eyes, they were cold. It was like I never knew this Zain; this Zain was complete opposite to the one I had felt for.

I realized he had just asked me a question and I cleared my thoughts about how beautiful he looked and answered him.

"Duh, I came to learn here." I replied in a sarcastic tone making him glare at me.

"You've got be kidding me," he says unbelievably.

"Nope, I'm not kidding," I say giving him a sarcastic smile and inched closer towards him. "Won't you welcome your ex-girlfriend to your college, Zain?" I ask with an eyebrow raised.

And boy did he look furious.
