College festivals have risen in importance to become the most recent fad amongst the youth. These festivals give a platform to students to exhibit their talents and prove their worth.
Most of the time however, the quest to show one's superiority becomes a major cause of enmity and inter-collegiate rivalry.
Among all the aggressiveness, there bloomed one love story. Here's how:
In junior college, Aryan and Sanaya were classmates. Though they shared the same classroom, they were always distant from one another.
Aryan was very social. He was the life of a party; and that is why he was always sought after.
Sanaya on the flip side, was very selective in choosing her friends. She loved to spend time with herself and was someone who would not trade her principles for anything in the world.
It was only later that Sanaya learned how to socialise. She made more friends and created more contacts. Aryan was one of them.
Somewhere Sanaya felt affection for him. But she never admitted it; neither to Aryan, nor to herself.
Soon she had to go elsewhere to pursue her Graduation. So she left her junior college (and her crush) with a heavy heart and ventured into a new space to gain new experiences.
Sanaya had lost all hope of seeing Ayan again. But here's where college festivals restored in her the faith that their rendez-vous had not yet met a dead end.
They saw, smiled and spoke to each other many a times during such festivals. But the climax occurred in Sanaya's ex-college itself, where their story had commenced.
The last event on the last day of the festival was about to begin. People were heading to the venue, when suddenly it started pouring heavily. Everyone ran helter skelter, and Sanaya was one of them who ran to seek shelter.
While she ran, she felt someone pull her in the opposite direction. She turned to look at the drenched Aryan holding her arm. Sanaya was perplexed and so were the onlookers. But Aryan slowly and gently swayed Sanaya and the two of them danced like swans on the melody of the fierce rain.
Sanaya stopped and asked Aryan why did he do what he did. Yes, this is exactly what she said. And Aryan simply smiled at her and whispered, "This is to make you realise how much I have loved you, how much I love you and how much I will love you".
Sanaya could do nothing but give a sheepish smile. She was smiling and she was crying; she was talking, yet she was quiet. She quickly embraced Aryan and didn't let go till the applauds of the spectators faded away...
