Riyaan singh and Aryan kumar, both are college students living in Gujarat.
Summer.
They were walking below the clear blue sky as the sun shone brightly above.
With the sun shining down combined with the asphalt on the ground, the area was filled with hot air rising causing a heat haze.
In such a hostile environment, Riyaan still had a cool expression on his face. On the other hand Aryan was with his friendly nature they continued walking towards the University campus.
Along the way, Riyaan and Aryan discovered a group of female college students walking nearby secretly raising small shrill voices.
Riyaan had this hard to approach atmosphere, tall along with a handsome face and Aryan told Riyaan that you look so handsome my friend .
Also as a practitioner of ancient martial arts, they were able to train their body resulting in an excellent physique.
Therefore Riyaan walking to University was seen as some sort of celebrity by the opposite sex.
Despite that, no rumours could be found about Riyaan and Aryan being interested in any girls.
It did not mean that they were into men.
Just that in the 20 or so years they had been alive, never found themself a girlfriend.
The reason was that there was only one person in Riyaan's heart.
That person was Riyaan's childhood friend.
Unfortunately, his crush never bore fruit.
Yearning for her, Riyaan was almost able to reach her but she suddenly vanished.
Six years have passed since Riyaan's childhood friend's disappearance.
The last time he talked to her was 13 years ago.
Ever since the time he first encountered her, it took no time for Riyaan to fall for her.
Playing with her everyday, it was difficult for him not to notice his attraction towards her.
But Riyaan's parents died in a car accident when he was still young and he was taken by his grandfather to live in his father's hometown in the countryside.
At that time, the two childhood friends made a certain promise.
Someday, when they were reunited, they would get married.
There was no binding force to that promise, only a fleeting transient promise in their childhood.
But Riyaan was determined to make that dream a reality and poured all his strength towards that promise.
To achieve their dream, he built his foundation towards manhood through the pursuit of knowledge, agriculture, housework, and martial arts.
He wanted to meet.
He could not stand not being able to meet her.
He did everything with great effort and impatiently waited until the day he reached adulthood for their reunion. Riyaan blindly believed in the promise.
Riyaan, who dedicated great effort into all his endeavors, was recognized by his grandfather.
Owing to that, his grandfather allowed Riyaan to enroll in a famous high school near the area his childhood friend resided.
It was where a shocking reunion was about to happen.
Coincidentally, his childhood friend also enrolled in the same school.
Saraswati School, Riyaan could feel his heart race.
There was no mistake, it was her.
Even if her appearance had changed over the years, he would make such a mistake.
She was still in the distance but he knew because she was his beloved.
He was fascinated, looking at her back, covered by glossy black hair.
Her small, beautiful face.
Her skin, white as snow.
Her short stature, but possessing finely balanced features.
Her appearance, neat and tidy, giving her the most graceful atmosphere.
She was like a girl straight out of a painting.
Riyaan felt grateful to the fate that reunited them.
But he simultaneously cursed that same fate.
Next to her was an unknown guy.
Riyaan became scared.
Was it possible that the two were dating?
When he thought this, he became unable to call out to her.
And then just like that, while he was agonizing over what he should do, Riyaan's childhood friend vanished.
Ever since then, Riyaan continued to live in regret.
By the time he realized that she had vanished, Riyaan finally noticed the great mistake he had committed.
His spirit almost broke.
He could not even let out a sound of his heartbreaking cry, only letting it resound in his body.
But, he did not give up.
There was no way that he would give up.
He would not be so easily discouraged with just this.
Because he did not confess his feelings yet.
He embraced the faint feeling that he would someday, somehow meet her as long as he was in Gujarat.
After graduating from high school, Riyaan enrolled in a University in Gujarat.
But even to this day, he was not able to get his hands on a single piece of information about her.
Eventually, three years rolled by.
There was not a single day where he forgot about his beloved childhood friend.
He even sought the police's help to investigate his childhood friend's disappearance but the truth remained wrapped in a mystery.
On the other hand Aryan was an orphan and he does not know about his parents. He was raised in an orphanage.
He is told that he was found at the door of the church. When he was one year old.
He wants to do something for the sisters and fathers of that orphanage. The people who raised him.

One day Aryan and Riyaan, both from different schools fought each other in a Martial Arts battle.
And after the fight no one had won the match after match they became best friends and then both were promised that they would never leave each other's side and they are eternity friends and rivals .
After lectures ended, Riyaan and Aryan headed back home by bus.
The time was just before evening so there were only a handful of passengers riding the bus. Currently there were only Four passengers including Riyaan and Aryan.
The inside of the bus was wrapped in silence.
Staring out the window, Riyaan and Aryan watched the flowery scenery pass by.
Suddenly, the bus started violently shaking.
Before they noticed, the bus was suspended in mid-air causing a floating feeling, followed by a sudden impact to his whole body. In an instant, Riyaan and Aryan's consciousness faded to black.
"…te…"
The moment before all became darkness, a beautiful voice in an unknown language resounded in their mind.
"…to the next news. This afternoon at 2:45 in the Gujarat prefecture, a bus and a fast train collided. Four bus passengers were pronounced dead on scene. Despite suffering serious injuries, the two drivers survived the accident."
