Aur jab woh mode on hota… numbers disappear ho jate.
Sirf feelings.
Aur feelings unpredictable hoti hain.
🏫 School – Suspicious Silence
Aaj school ka environment thoda different tha.

Silence.
Aarav ka heart race.
"Jo bhi personal matters hain, unhe campus ke bahar rakha jaye."
Entire class ki nazar automatically Aarav aur Naina par.
Naina ne dheere se Aarav ki taraf dekha.
Uski aankhon me ek question tha.
Do we deny it?
Aarav ke brain me do options flash hue:
Option A – Deny. Social risk low.Option B – Stay Silent. Emotional risk unknown.
Manual Mode flicker.
Usne deep breath li.
Silence choose kiya.

"Kyuki cells predictable hote hain."

Shaam ko campus relatively quiet tha.
Fake relationship ab officially public relationship ban chuka tha.
Kabir ne dramatic tone me kaha,"Bhai, tu ne introvert community ko proud feel kara diya."
Aarav ne ignore kiya.
Uska focus sirf Naina par tha.
Woh bench par baithi thi, unusual silence ke saath.
"Tumne aaj jhoot kyun nahi bola?" usne seedha pucha.
"Kyuki mujhe laga jhoot tumhe hurt karega."
"Tum sure ho ki tum mujhe bachane ke chakkar me khud hurt nahi ho rahe?"
Aarav pause.
System me ek new stat appear hua:
