The story of Eva and Advay started 9 years ago... let's start from the first...
Advay Shivaji Ranawat, the most ambitious boy, tall and having strong muscles body. The perfect handsome hunk of the college. So many girls of the college following him, but he never gives a glance at anyone. He is the son of Commissioner of Police. His aim is to become an IPS officer. He is dreaming of being an IPS officer from childhood. Honesty and patriotism are in built-in his body by born. Shivaji Ranawat, His father is his ideal Person.
Advay is the topper of the first year of the college, best in athletic activities. In short, he is a multitalented student of the college, he is in the Second year of the college.
He entered the college and parked his bike in the parking. When he stepped up the stairs of the college, and all of sudden his eyes fell on a girl, standing on the first floor, he was stucked.
"Beautiful girl, perfect figure, long silky black hairs, pink lips and she..... so white as snow. He stopped there and staring at her. He never saw this girl in the college, maybe she is new in this college. He runs to the first floor but when he reached the first floor, she was not there. He looked here and there but all in vain.
He ran to his class and he is late because of that girl.
"Advay, from when are you getting late?" Mr Bedi, the lecturer asked with an exclamation.
"Sorry, sir. " Advay said and sat on the first bench of the class.
His mind is wandering in some other world, her face was not disappearing from his minds.
The day passed, he was waiting for this girl on the main gate of the college. His friend, Karan was surprised by his behaviour, actually not surprised but shocked. He never sees this side of Advay. But he is unaware of the real reason for his weird behaviour.
He saw that same girl coming out of the main gate, and he stood up from his bike. He followed her, she went to a car parked at the parking area. A red coloured Ferrari, a sports car.
He followed her, she stopped at the apartment, with her friend. He returned from there and reached his flat. He is basically from Mumbai. His father is also in Mumbai but due to long-distance of the college, for a study, he rented this flat nearby college. He is studying in Mumbai's best college. He called someone and that buddy informed him that the girl is living in that flat on rent. But that man doesn't have more information about her.
Advay never feels this type of anxiety. He fell for her at once. His buzzes,
"Dad... Good evening." He picked up the call.
"Hey, my IPS, how are you? You didn't call me for the whole day. Is everything alright?" Sounded from another side of the phone.
"Nothing, dad. I was busy." Advay stammered.
"Aaahhhaa, my son is lying me, what happened Advay? I'm all aware of you." His father said.
"Dad .."
"Ahhh a Dad, Actually... I......, Dad... I saw a girl in college." He said with stammering all these words.
"Woohhhh, hu...hu..., Listen Usha, your son fell in love." His father was laughing and calling his mom.
"Dad, Stop it, I'm serious, I never feel like before..., she is damn pretty, dad." Advay sighed.
Mr Shivaji Ranawat is a strict police commissioner for the people but with his family, he is everything. He is friendly with the family that's why Advay said his feelings to his dad.
"Advay, Say your feelings to her at the right time, No hurry for that and if she doesn't have any feelings for you, don't force her. But try to realize her about your feelings." Mr Ranawat said.
"Yeah, dad but I don't know her name."
"You will know soon, and if you fall for someone, she can't be a normal girl. Something is special in her. Slowly go ahead, we are with you." His father said.
"Dad, I'm just 19. and maybe she is 18."
"You are not a kid, Age doesn't matter my son, Go ahead, I approve your love, but only if she agrees." His father said and smiled at his mom. His mom Usha put her head on Shivaji's shoulders.
Advay hanged up the call. He was again lost in thoughts of that girl.
Another side, His parents are so happy, they called their only daughter and Advay's elder sister, Arpana.
They told her everything about Advay's feelings. All family members are happy for him but Otherside Advay was fighting with his feelings for her.
Next day, he reached early at college and stand at the first floor of the college, where she was standing yesterday. He was waiting for her. He looked at the main gate, she was coming with her friend. Her silky hairs are bouncing on her waist. She wore simple blue jeans and a pink Tshirt. Her curves are made her more beautiful. A gasp escaped from Advay's mouth. She came on the first floor and entered the classroom exactly opposite of, where Advay was standing.
He mumbled, "The first year, A." Then he left for his class.
He is not in the mood of study, so he bunks the second lecture and went to the library, as he needs peace for his mind. He decided to search some books of law, he is advance in everything and law is important for IPS.
He holds one book on the topic of 'Constitution of India', and the same book was held by someone from the opposite side of the rack. He tried to look at another side, and there she is. He pulled the book, so she is looking for him, who pulled that book. She was in the library because they had a free lecture due to the absence of the professor.
He skipped a heartbeat. He walked towards her side. He never afraid of anything, but this is the matter of girl. He gave a book in her hand.
"Hi, I'm Advay Ranawat." He introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Eva Shetty." She replied. Her voice makes Advay crazy.
"You are first-year student, right? Why you need this book?" Advay asked.
"Yeah, actually My aim is to become an IAS, that's why I'm preparing from now," Eva replied.
"Wow, my aim is IPS... Mmmmm, friends?" Advay asked but his heart skipped because his heart is unable to tolerate her negative answer.
"Yeah, but I'm new here, and I don't know anyone and you... so.." Eva stammered.
"It's Okay, you can trust me," Advay said.
"Eva, what are you doing?" Her friend was looking for her.
"Diya, I'm here," Eva replied to her. Diya is coming towards them so he left her and moved. But Diya saw him.
"Hey, what was he doing here?" Diya asked curiously.
"Why?" Eva asked back without answering her.
"He is the topper of the college of last year, and He is also the winner of so many athletic activities. All girls of the college are crazy for him, but he never looks at anyone.
"Ohh, I see. Let's go for the next lecture." Eva said.
She was impressed by his look, tall and handsome, clean shaved, charming young boy. His muscles are eager to tear his T-shirt. When Diya told her about him, her heart starts falling for him.
She was continuously thinking about Advay. Her mind was scolding her, "i***t, can't you say yes for his friendship offer."
"Huh, let's see. If next time he will meet me, I will sure befriend with him." She said to herself. She feels some kind of magnetic attraction towards him.
After that day, they didn't meet face to face, but when they came across, they smiled each other. Her smiles make Adva, madder for her.
From next week, Diwali vacation is going to start, both never missed the chance to look at each other, nobody knew about their hide & seek. Both understand feelings for each other, just they are waiting for each other's confession.
Advay became impatient for confession, he bunked the lecture and went to the library. He was passing by her class, she noticed him. Eva made an excuse and left the class and her friend, Diya.
She followed him, she wanted to shout his name but doesn't dare.
Advay went to the library, he walked so fast, she had to run behind him. She entered the library behind him. Advay was searching for a book on the rack to divert his mind. She ran to him and stood behind her.
Advay felt her behind him, he stucked and turned back, "Hi."
"Hi"
"Eva, Actually......."
"Actually, I don't have any idea how to tell you but..."
"What do you want to say..?" Eva asked with confusion.
"Eva, when I saw you on the first day of college,...." He said and stopped for a while.
"My heart was encountered by your killing smile," Advay confessed his feelings in one breath.
Eva stucked for a while hearing him and gave a shy smile. Advay was so much nervous, he didn't look up for her reply.
"If I say, You also encountered my heart..." Eva sighed.
Advay looked up towards her shy face, and she blinked eyes. He Lifts up her from jer hip in excitement. She covered her face with palm. He dropped her and hugged her.
"I think,..... we are in the library," Eva exclaimed while removing her palm from her face.
He holds her hand and writes his mobile number on her palm. Eva smiled. Advay left her and moved out of the library, he rubbed his hand on his neck in a stylish way.
Eva jumped in excitement. She ran to her car and dialled that number in her iPhone.
Advay's was on his bike, he heard the sound of a ringing phone, he received, "Can't wait.??"
She smiled and gritted her lower lips.
"I'm going to a happiness cafe," Advay said and started driving his bike.
This cafe was so far from college. They reached there after half an hour driving. Ta that time there was less crowd in the cafe. They were sitting on the window side table.
Advay was staring at her and she was shying. She gave a death glare at him. Advay smiled.
"May I ask something?" Advay asked. She laughed and nodded.
"Your surname is Shetty and name is Eva, not a perfect combination. Why is it so? Sorry if I hurt." Advay asked.
She laughed loudly and replied, "My father was south Indian and Mother is Christian. My mom gave me a name "Eva" and surname from my father Shetty."
"Great combination. You are staying here on rent. Where are you from?"
"We are basically from Karnataka but I opened my eyes in Goa. My mom was passed away when I was 7 years old. After that, I'm living with my granny. And My father never visited me after mom's death." She replied with sadness.
"Sorry" He leaned on the table and squeezed her both hands.
"No, No, It's Okay. My granny is the owner of the hotel in Goa and has a big house. Enough for both of us." She replied.
"Advay, How much are you serious about our relationship?" She asked and looked down.
He smiled and left her hands. He took his phone and made a video call.
"Whom are you calling?" She exclaimed.
His dad received a call, he is in his office.
"Hi, Dad," He said and stood up from his chair and stands behind Eva, now in the phone, Eva and Advay looked together. She got a bit shocked when she saw his father. She is seeing a police commissioner on the phone.
"Hi, beta." His father said but he is also shocked when he sees Eva.
"Meet your daughter in law, Dad." Advay Introduced.
"That's great my son, Hello beta." His father asked.
"Hello, uncle..." Eva stammered.
"Okay, but now I have to go for a visit. So we will talk tonight beta. Sorry for the inconvenience." His father apologized.
"It's okay, dad." He replied and hung up the call.
"Advay, it's not a joke." Eva irritated.
"I love you." Advay kneeled down to her and gave her a red rose.
"Love you, too." Eva smiled.
A waiter came with 2 cups of coffee. The heart was made on it.
