PART 1 - BROKEN HEART

Chapter 1: Rivals

In the bustling city of Stefen Woods, Greenwoods University was renowned for its vibrant campus life and competitive spirit. Among the students, Raj and Vicky were the most notable rivals. Both were known for their athletic prowess and leadership qualities. They had different groups, each loyal to their respective leader.

Raj was confident, ambitious, and charismatic. He thrived on competition and saw Vicky as his primary adversary. Vicky, on the other hand, was passionate, driven, and had an unyielding determination to succeed. Their rivalry was legendary, extending to every sport and event on campus.

Chapter 2: The Catalyst

One sunny afternoon, while playing a heated basketball match, Raj and Vicky noticed a girl sitting in the stands. She was cute, with a beautiful smile that lit up her face. Her name was Shraddha. Vicky, mesmerized by her presence, found it hard to concentrate on the game.

Later that day, as Vicky lay in bed, he couldn't get Shraddha out of his mind. "Who is she? I need to know her," he thought, a newfound determination in his heart. The next day, he approached Shraddha in the library, hoping to introduce himself.

"Hi, I'm Vicky," he said, offering a warm smile. "I noticed you at the game yesterday."

Shraddha looked up from her book, slightly surprised. "Oh, hi. I'm Shraddha," she replied politely.

Chapter 3: Rivalry Intensifies

Word of Vicky's interest in Shraddha quickly spread, reaching Raj. Intrigued by the challenge of winning her over from his rival, Raj decided to make his move. The next day, he approached Shraddha with confidence.

"Hello, Shraddha. I'm Raj. I see you've already met Vicky," he said, flashing a charming smile.

Shraddha, slightly taken aback, nodded. "Yes, I have. Nice to meet you, Raj."

Raj only wanted to win Shraddha from Vicky, not realizing that Vicky's feelings for her were genuine. Both of them tried different ways to befriend her, but Shraddha was wary of their intentions and initially refused their advances.

Chapter 4: An Unexpected Friendship

One day, Vicky was sitting in the library, hiding behind a stack of books to take a nap. As fate would have it, Shraddha arrived and picked a book from the shelf. Accidentally, the book slipped and fell, hitting Vicky on the head.

"Ouch! Who did that?" Vicky exclaimed, rubbing his head.

Shraddha rushed around the shelf, apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. Are you okay?"

Vicky looked up, his annoyance fading into a smile when he saw her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bump."

They ended up sitting together and talking for hours, exchanging stories and finding common interests. By the time they left the library, they had exchanged contacts and made plans to meet again.

Chapter 5: Growing Closer

Over the next two months, Vicky and Shraddha spent a lot of time together. They hung out at cafes, explored the city, and had deep conversations about their dreams and fears. Their bond grew stronger, and they became best friends.

One evening, as they sat by the lake, Vicky turned to Shraddha, his heart pounding. "Shraddha, I have something to tell you. I've been meaning to say this for a while now."

Shraddha looked at him, curiosity in her eyes. "What is it, Vicky?"

Before Vicky could muster the courage to confess his feelings, Raj came up with a plan to win Shraddha from Vicky. He started talking to her every day, showering her with compliments and attention. He even followed her around campus, making his intentions clear to everyone.

Chapter 6: The Date

Half the college knew that Raj was mad for Shraddha. Feeling pressured, Shraddha decided to give him a chance. They went on a date, and it went surprisingly well. Raj was charming and attentive, and Shraddha found herself enjoying his company.

When Vicky found out, he was devastated. Jealousy gnawed at him, but he tried to hide his feelings. One day, he decided to take matters into his own hands and proposed to Shraddha in front of his group.

"Shraddha, will you go out with me?" he asked, his voice trembling with hope.

His friends chanted, "Say yes! Say yes!"

Shraddha, feeling cornered and confused, accepted his proposal. Vicky, watching from a distance, felt his heart shatter. He left the scene, tears welling up in his eyes.

Chapter 7: The Fallout

Shraddha called Vicky that evening, unaware of his feelings for her. "Vicky, I need to tell you something. I'm in a relationship with Raj now."

Vicky's voice was thick with emotion. "I know, Shraddha. I saw it."

Shraddha's voice softened. "I hope this doesn't change anything between us. You're still my best friend."

Vicky couldn't hold back his feelings any longer. "Shraddha, I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you from the moment I saw you. But I guess I was too late."

The silence that followed was deafening. Shraddha, tears streaming down her face, whispered, "Vicky, I'm so sorry. I never knew."

Unable to bear the pain, Vicky disappeared for a month. Shraddha called him every day, leaving messages and pleading for him to return, but he remained silent.
