One Month Later...

Inside an apartment, an eighteen-year-old boy was busy packing his bag when a girl came from behind, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said teasingly,

"So, Mr. Advik... are you finally ready?"

The boy kissed the back of her hand and smiled.

"Yes, my dear. Everything is ready. Now you can happily enjoy living alone in this tiny little home."

The girl walked closer, grabbed his collar, pulled his face toward hers, and said mischievously,

"I'm the lucky one, darling. Nothing feels better than sleeping in your arms every single day. Ah... your arms..."

She blushed after saying that.

Then she moved forward to hug him again, but the boy immediately pushed her away and said,

"Stay away, Mansi! Don't get so carried away by your emotions that you forget you're flirting with a girl, not a boy."

(Yes, he is none other than our Advika. It has been one month since she left Mumbai, and little by little, she has learned to face the harsh realities of life. The girl with her is Mansi Patel, Umesh Ji's daughter, who was living in a rented apartment in Delhi. When Umesh Ji dropped Advika at the railway station, he had asked her to stay with Mansi in Delhi.)

Hearing Advik's words, Mansi stepped back and stared at him from head to toe before saying,

"Seriously, Advika... you look so unbelievably hot in this boy's disguise that even though I know you're a girl, my naughty little heart still loses control."

Feeling Mansi's intense gaze on her, Advika immediately covered her chest with both hands and said,

"Get lost, you pervert! At this rate, one day I'll lose my dignity to a girl instead of a boy."

Then she looked up at the sky dramatically.

"Oh God... please don't let me see that day."

Hearing her, Mansi pouted and replied,

"Forget me... you'll somehow survive me. But how exactly are you planning to protect yourself from the girls at Delhi University? The moment they see you looking like this, they're all going to go crazy."

Advika gave her a sly smile.

"That's exactly where you'll be useful."

"You'll become my girlfriend and fight all those girls for me."

Those words hit Mansi like an atomic bomb.

She screamed,

"Absolutely not!!"

Then she quickly walked closer to Advik and said nervously,

"You're not doing that... okay? My dear friend, there'll be so many girls chasing you that they'll kill me first."

Making the cutest innocent face possible, she continued,

"Don't you want your best friend to live a long and happy life?"

Watching Mansi's overacting, Advika burst into laughter.

"You'll never change."

"Don't worry, I'm not making you my girlfriend."

"Honestly, you're the biggest danger to me."

"Tomorrow I'll finally move into the hostel, and only then will this poor little boy's dignity be safe."

The moment Mansi heard that Advik was leaving, her face immediately fell.

Holding his hand, she asked sadly,

"Do you really have to stay in the hostel? You're already living here. Why don't you just stay with me and go to college from here?"

Hearing her, Advika patiently explained,

"I could have stayed."

"But that's not possible."

"You know I'm actually a girl..."

"But nobody else knows that."

"If I continue living with you, people will start making wrong assumptions about you."

"And secondly, Dad said staying at your place for too long could increase the danger for you."

"Besides, I've been allotted a single-person hostel room."

"So I won't have any problem."

"And right now, the hostel is the safest place for me."

"So... please understand."

Every single word Advika said made perfect sense.

Mansi didn't argue anymore.

Still...

She couldn't hide how upset she was about Advik leaving.

Seeing Mansi so sad, Advika zipped up her bag, grabbed her hand, and smiled.

"Come on."

"Let me take my girlfriend shopping."

"After all, I should at least give you some compensation for our breakup."

The moment Mansi heard the word shopping, she instantly brightened up.

"Fine!"

"I'll get ready right away."

A little while later, both Mansi and Advik stood outside the apartment building.

Let me tell you a little about Advika.

She was eighteen years old and had just entered her first year of college.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her complexion was fairer than milk itself.

Her large lake-like eyes and tiny nose made her incredibly attractive.

Compared to most girls, she was also quite tall—around five feet seven inches.

But what made her truly beautiful were her long, thick, silky hair.

However...

To become Advik...

She had to cut them short.

Now her hair barely reached her shoulders, allowing the wig she wore to fit perfectly on her head.

As Advik, her appearance was simply deadly.

With his slightly messy hair, he looked exactly like the perfect chocolate boy.

In other words...

The prince charming every girl dreams about.

Today Mansi was wearing black jeans with a white crop top.

She herself was extremely beautiful.

Meanwhile, Advik wore a black T-shirt, black pants, and a stylish black jacket.

The outfit made his personality look absolutely irresistible.

(From now on, I will refer to Advika as Advik.)

Advik took out his sports bike and put on his sunglasses.

The moment Mansi saw him like that, her heartbeat began racing.

Placing a hand over her heart, she dramatically said,

"Oh God..."

"If she keeps looking this handsome, I might actually fall in love with her for real."

When Advik noticed Mansi still standing there staring at him, he shouted,

"So..."

"Are you planning to keep staring at me forever, or are you getting on the bike?"

Hearing his voice, Mansi hurried over and tightly wrapped her arms around Advik's waist before sitting behind him.

Advik simply shook his head at her antics and started the bike.

Soon, their sports bike was cutting through the wind as it sped toward the biggest shopping mall in Delhi.

The two first entered the women's section.

There, Mansi shamelessly spent Advik's money shopping to her heart's content.

(After all, who doesn't enjoy spending their best friend's money?)

The two continued shopping, but Mansi showed absolutely no signs of stopping.

Finally exhausted, Advik sighed and said,

"Mansi..."

"You keep shopping here."

"I need to check out some men's shoes and clothes."

"I'll go have a look."

"...I mean, I'll be back."

Saying that, Advik quickly walked away.

He wandered around the floor for a while when his eyes suddenly landed on a particular store.

A huge crowd had gathered outside it.

Curious, Advik walked toward the shop.

Inside, a young man around twenty or twenty-one years old was shouting furiously at a salesgirl.

The three boys standing beside him were trying hard to calm him down, but his anger refused to subside.

Then...

When he noticed the salesgirl had started shedding fake tears...

His temper finally exploded.

In a fit of rage...

He grabbed the salesgirl by her hair.
