Arjun joined a college in a nearby town. Even though it was hard for him to walk, he was determined to study well. On his first day, he saw a girl sitting alone and reading a book. Her name was Avani.
Avani was smart and confident, but she was a little cold and rude to others. She didn't talk much and often gave short, sharp answers when people tried to be friendly. Arjun noticed this, but he didn't mind.
One day, Arjun had to work with her on a college project. At first, she was impatient and said sharply, "Why are you even here? Can you do this?"
Arjun smiled and said gently, "I will try my best. Let's do it together."
Over time, Avani saw that Arjun was kind, patient, and never gave up, even when things were hard. Slowly, she began to open up. She had her own secret pain—she had lost someone close and had built a wall around her heart.
Arjun's calm and gentle nature made her feel safe. When he helped her notice small good things in life, she slowly became softer, kinder, and more caring. She started smiling more, helping others, and even laughing at little jokes.During college, they became very close friends.
