Vivan Patel, a shy and reserved boy, sat in the back of the classroom, stealing glances at Reena, the girl of his dreams. Reena, with her radiant smile and lively personality, had captured Vivan's heart.
Vivan (to himself, sighing):
"She's amazing. She's the top student of the class and the student council President. I wish I could talk to her".
Reena, unaware of Vivan's feelings, was engrossed in a conversation with her boyfriend, Ram Bharadwaj, a popular and charismatic figure in the school.
Vivan observed them from a distance, feeling a twinge of longing.
Vivan (whispering):
"Ram has it all – confidence, charm, and Reena".
As the days went by, Vivan couldn't help but admire Reena from afar. His crush grew stronger, even though he knew she was in a committed relationship.
------ HIGH SCHOOL CORRIDOR -------
Vivan walked through the crowded corridor, his eyes searching for a glimpse of Reena. His friend, Aarav, noticed his melancholy expression.
Aarav (sympathetic):
"You okay, Vivan?"
Vivan (sighing):
"Just... you know. Reena and Ram".
Aarav (nudging):
"Maybe it's time to find someone who appreciates you".
Vivan nodded, but deep down, his heart still yearned for Reena.
...
...
Vivan spent his afternoons in the library, burying himself in books to distract from his unrequited feelings. Reena and Ram, the ideal couple, often passed by, leaving Vivan lost in his thoughts.
During lunch breaks, Vivan sat alone, stealing glances at Reena and Ram sharing laughter and affection.
Aarav (encouraging):
"You're a great guy, Vivan. Don't forget that".
Vivan forced a smile, masking the pain of seeing his crush with someone else.
His obsession for Reena grew day by day and it didn't stop.
----------- AFTER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION------------
Vivan, having graduated high school, decided to leave his feelings for Reena to fate. However, as destiny would have it, they both found themselves attending the same university.
-------- DURING THE CLASS IN UNIVERSITY---------
Vivan sat at the back of the lecture hall, stealing glances at Reena, who was engrossed in her studies. Determined not to let this second chance slip away, Vivan mustered the courage to approach her.
Vivan (smiling):
"Hey, Reena. Long time no see".
Reena (surprised):
"Oh, Vivan! I didn't expect to see you here".
Vivan :
"Actually , can I get your number? ....for ..... I....no...for studies..?"
Reena (smiling):
"Okay sure and if I am right then you were the second in our class".
Vivan :
"Yes!"
In my meanwhile, Ram came and then , she went with Ram to the cafeteria.
Vivan, now in his university years, fondly remembered the first time he had spoken to Reena during their second year of high school. It was a moment etched in his memory.
Vivan (voiceover, nostalgic):
"It was the second year, and Reena had just been elected as the Student Council President. I found myself on the disciplinary committee, and our paths finally crossed during a meeting to discuss school regulations".
Reena, confidently leading the meeting, caught Vivan's attention. He was both nervous and captivated by her charisma.
Reena (addressing the committee):
"As the new Student Council President, I believe it's crucial to revisit and update our school regulations. We need a collaborative effort to ensure a positive and inclusive environment for everyone".
Vivan, sitting among his peers in the disciplinary committee, listened intently. Their eyes met briefly during a discussion about disciplinary measures.
Vivan (voiceover, reflecting):
"I was just a member of the disciplinary committee, and she, the charismatic President. Yet, in that room filled with discussions about rules and regulations, our eyes connected for a brief moment".
.....
.....
Vivan's obsession for Reena reached at its peak and he began to stalk her and secretly clicked her photo.
Vivan, surrounded by a chaotic array of notes and drafts, sat in his apartment with determination. He had decided it was time to express his feelings to Reena, and he chose to do it through a heartfelt message.
Vivan (to himself, practicing):
"Hey Reena, there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
As he typed, deleted, and retyped his message, the weight of his emotions made it challenging to find the right words.
...
Vivan, sitting alone in a cozy coffee shop, found inspiration in the ambiance. He attempted another message.
Vivan (typing):
"Reena, I've cherished our friendship for so long, and lately, it's grown into something more..."
He sighed, realizing the message felt too ambiguous. It was an ongoing struggle to articulate the depth of his feelings.
...
Frustration building, Vivan sought advice from his friend Aarav.
Aarav (smiling):
"Just be yourself, Vivan. Speak from the heart".
Vivan nodded, deciding to take a more straightforward approach.
Vivan reflected on his failed attempts, determined not to give up. He sought creative ways to express his feelings.
.....
Vivan, surrounded by drafts and crumpled papers, felt defeated. He questioned his ability to convey the depth of his emotions.
Vivan (whispering to himself):
"I can't keep avoiding this. I need to find the right words."
The sun painted the sky with hues of orange and pink as Vivan nervously waited on the rooftop. Reena, curious about the unexpected call, joined him.
Reena (smiling):
"Hey, Vivan. What's up?"
Vivan (nervously):
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you, Reena".
Reena, sensing the gravity of the moment, took a seat.
Reena (encouraging):
"Go on, Vivan".
Vivan took a deep breath, his heart pounding.
Vivan (stuttering):
"Reena, I... I've admired you for a long time, and I can't hold back my feelings any longer. I care about you, Reena, more than just as a friend. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Reena, caught off guard, paused for a moment. She appreciated Vivan's sincerity but knew her heart belonged to someone else.
Reena (softly):
"Vivan, I appreciate your honesty, but I'm already in a relationship with Ram".
After his rejection , Vivan frequently attended the classes and after graduation, he became a writer with a pen name of Another.
-------- AFTER HIS DEATH -----------
Goddess Celen spins the wheel and he got the unique skill 'The War Mode'.
Celen :
"Huh , do you have any wishes?"
Vivan :
"I want Reena".
Celen :
"I see..... so , will you fight against Ram who is her boyfriend?"
Vivan :
"I will fucking kill him because I want her at any cost . I heard that he died before getting married to her. So , I want powers to defeat him".
Goddess Celen began to explain about the world and as a bonus , she told him about Takahiro and Ryna . She asked him what name will he take in this new world.
Vivan:
"Another".
