Dwani pov

I woke up late today, feeling exhausted. Thankfully, it's Sunday, so I don't have to work. After brushing my teeth, I entered the living area and noticed that the whole house was a little dusty. I decided to clean the house before doing anything else, and after hours of work, the house looked pretty good.

As I finished cleaning, I took a moment to survey my surroundings. The house was undeniably small, with only a few essential pieces of furniture. In the hall, there was a small chair and table, providing a modest place to sit and relax. The kitchen held a few basic utensils, enabling me to prepare simple meals.

Despite the limited resources, a sense of contentment washed over me. The most important thing was that I finally had a roof over my head, a place to call my own. It may not be grand or filled with luxuries, but it was a sanctuary, a haven of my own creation.

Yesterday nights i spent out in the cold, with no shelter or protection. Now, I could rest peacefully, knowing that I had a place to sleep, to dream, and to find solace. It was a humbling experience, one that made me appreciate the little things in life.

This small house represented a fresh start, a new chapter in my life. It symbolized resilience, determination, and the strength to overcome adversity. It reminded me that happiness does not solely rely on material possessions but can be found in the simplest of joys.

As I looked around the house, a newfound sense of gratitude filled my heart. I knew that I had made it this far, and I had the power to create a brighter future for myself. With each passing day, I would continue to transform this humble abode into a place of comfort and warmth.

In this small house, I had found a home, and that was more than enough to make me happy.

Suddenly, my stomach grumbled, reminding me that I needed to buy some groceries. Since I have a place to stay and don't need to pay high hostel rent, I thought of using that money to buy rations instead. With that in mind, I headed to the nearby market. On my way there, I came across a biryani store and couldn't resist the temptation. I went inside, ordered a plate of biryani, and thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

After finishing my food, I continued my journey to buy vegetables and other items. On my way back home, I stumbled upon a park and decided to spend some time there. I watched the kids playing and stayed there for a while, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. It was around 6 PM when I finally made my way back home.

As I was walking along the roadside, a car honked near me, and to my surprise, it was Vedant sir. He asked me to get in as he was coming to meet me. We reached the house, and I offered him some water to drink. Then, I went to my room and came back with 6000 rupees, 5000 of which were for the rent and 1000 for a saree. Vedant sir accepted the money, and I felt relieved.

Later, I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I made chapati and egg curry, and I offered some to Vedant sir, who ate it with a smile. He then asked if I needed anything, but I assured him that I had everything I needed for now. After some time, he left, and I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.

Feeling tired from the day's events, I went to my room and studied for a while. Eventually, I laid down in my bed, lost in thought about Vedant sir. I I couldn't help but appreciate his caring nature, and I found myself becoming increasingly attracted to him

Today, I woke up at 9 o'clock in the morning. After finishing my morning chores, I went downstairs and had breakfast with my parents. My mom asked why I was late yesterday, so I explained to her about the birthday party. She advised me to inform them beforehand if I plan on coming home late in the future, and I agreed.

Next, I went to my father's study room and told him about the issue with the warden demanding full hostel payment from Dwani. I informed him that the college administration had initially asked her to pay only half the amount. My father assured me that he would personally investigate this matter tomorrow at the college, talking to both the warden and Dwani.

After our conversation, we had some quality family time together. However, I thought of checking up on Dwani, so I went to her house. Unfortunately, it was locked, and despite waiting for some time, she didn't show up. As I was leaving, I noticed a park nearby, so I decided to spend some time there.

While at the park, I turned around and saw Dwani walking in the direction of her house. I quickly drove my car towards her and asked her to get in. We both went to her house, where she opened the door for me. The house looked nice and clean, with everything neatly arranged. Dwani went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water, which I drank. Then, she handed me 6,000 rupees - 5,000 rupees for the rent and 1,000 rupees for the saree.

I considered keeping the money with me for now and returning it to her later because I wasn't short on money and her money will be saved by me. After some time, Dwani went to the kitchen to make dinner. She prepared chapati and egg curry, which turned out to be delicious. I must say, she knows how to cook perfectly. I've become quite addicted to her cooking. Normally I won't eat food from outside but her cooking gives me a homely feeling . After finishing dinner, I said goodbye to Dwani and headed back home.

Upon entering my house, my parents informed me that they were planning a tour for the final year students since they'll be completing their course this year. They asked for any suggestions regarding the destination and other logistical needs. We discussed the tour plans and the basic requirements for a while.

Later, I went to my room and kept the money Dwani had given me in my cupboard. Then, i took a bath and lied down on my bed, chatting with my friends for some time. While lying there, I couldn't help but think about Dwani. She seems so innocent, and I find myself attracted to her. I didn't mention anything about meeting her or letting her stay at my house to my friends. I didn't want to create any misunderstandings between us since my friends are quite possessive and don't like sharing our friendship with others. We've been friends since primary school.

As I lay in bed, thoughts of Dwani and the day's events occupied my mind, and slowly, sleep consumed me.
