Gowri had never imagined that something so small could turn into a wildfire
One moment , it was a secret shared between friends .
Aarav got to know that a girl who's name starts with 'G' likes him , so to confirm who was she , he told all his friends. Gowri came and sat in the bench in front of him. All his friends were discussing about this matter
Gowri heard them and was astonished.
Gowri was tensed as everyone came to know about this.
. The next , the whole school knew. Because the information given to Aarav was spread.
After the class while gowri was waiting for her father , some students were whispering , glanced at her with amused smiles. Some even exchanged teasing looks whenever she walked past . " Did you hear? Gowri likes Aarav? The words followed her like a shadow.
She clenched her fists . Why was this happening?
Meanwhile , Aarav was dealing with his own frustration . The rumors had spread too far , and he was tired of hearing his name being linked with someone he barely spoke to . His patience finally snapped.
He turned to Mina, his best friend. "Who started this? Who is this girl?" His voice was sharp , demanding.
Me na hesitated . She had promised Ananya she wouldn't tell , but Aarav's tone left her with little choice . He was serious.
"If you don't tell me , l'lo complain to the teacher ," Aarav warned . "My name is getting spoiled for no reason."
Me ma sighed in defeat . "its Gowri" , she admitted , her voice barely above a whisper.
Aarav's expression shifted . Surprise . Confusion. A flicker of something unreadable. Bit before he could say anything , Me na walked away , leaving him alone with his thoughts.
That evening , Ananya rushed to find Gowri . she was out of breath , her face tense.
" Gowri!" She gasped . Mena told aarav ! He knows!
The words hit Gowri lol a storm . For a moment , she couldn't move, couldn't think
.
"He knows?" She echoed , barely above a whisper.
Ananya nodded . " And he wasn't happy about it".
Gowri left her stomach drop . This couldn't be happening.
What if her parents found out? What if her teachers called her out? The fear clawed at her , twisting her thoughts into a mess of panic.
That night , she prayed desperately for everything to disappear . But feel inside , she knew - she had to take control of this situation before it got worse.
And so , by morning , she had made a decision.
She would end this - once and for all.
