Hello everyone,
This story is entirely fictional. It has no connection with any real person, place, or incident. Since this is my first story, please forgive any mistakes and support me with your encouragement. Now, let’s begin the story!
This is a family-oriented story, with many characters appearing as the plot progresses. But first, let me introduce the main characters:
The protagonist: JK (Jay Karthik)
He’s the heartthrob of the entire college. All the girls are fans of him. He’s that handsome — with a well-built body, tall frame, sharp nose, and striking eyes — he's no less than any movie hero. But it’s not just his looks that make him popular; it’s also his personality.
Although a bit short-tempered, he is caring and always willing to help others with sincerity. Having grown up in a joint family, he understands the value of relationships and tradition. This combination of outer charm and inner depth makes him truly unique.
Then we have his closest friends: Surya, Praveen, Karthik, and Swathi — his soulmates in friendship.
(Surya is actually his cousin — the son of JK’s father’s sister — but more than that, he’s like a brother and best friend. Surya knows everything about JK.)
Swathi, a distant relative, is another key character. Her parents live in the same town. Swathi is incredibly beautiful. Though she’s grown up, her heart is still that of a child. Fearless and cheerful, she enjoys life to the fullest. Even though she’s a bit stubborn, she’s sensitive to others’ pain and has a kind soul. Her father, Shivu, is a businessman and partner in JK’s family company. Her mother, Bharathi, and father treat her like a queen, protecting her from all hardships as she's their only daughter. Swathi treasures her five best friends.
Karthik, an orphan with a pure heart, has all his education supported by JK, who treats him like a younger brother.
Praveen is also a close part of this group. These five have been classmates since childhood, and their friendship has grown into a mighty tree.

Scene: College Campus
Karthik and Praveen, along with some other friends, are teasing juniors under the guise of seniority.
Suddenly:
Praveen: Hi Surya!
Surya : Hi guys.
Karthik : Didn’t JK come today?
Surya: No, he had some work. We’ll join you later. Better head to class before the principal sees you; otherwise, he’ll roast us.
Praveen: Oh come on, sir’s scolding feels like a comedy now.
They laugh and head to class when suddenly someone calls out from behind.
Voice : Hey, wait up! I’m coming.
They turn to see Swathi.
Praveen : Why so late, Swathi? And where’s JK?
Swathi : You know him — if someone is in trouble, he’ll rush to help. Midway, he dropped me off and went ahead.
They all enter the class together.
Swathi : May I come in, sir?
Principal : Oh! The backbenchers’ team in my class? What a surprise! You people don’t have time sense. You know I’m very strict. Not allowed. Come for the next class.
Praveen : Sir, you’re missing JK, aren’t you?
Karthik : Yeah, even we felt the same. 😂
Principal (angrily): Get out!
Surya : Sir, JK is coming...
Principal : Oh! Then why are you standing there? Come in.
(No one in the college dares mess with JK. Even the principal fears him. This backbencher gang is famous and influential because they know all the staff’s weaknesses.)
Later in class:
Purvi : Hi Swathi, didn’t JK come?
Swathi : No, he had some work.
Purvi’s friend (Harsha) : You’ve been eyeing him forever! Just confess before college ends!
Purvi (nervous): I’m more scared to confess than I was for exams!

Scene: Canteen
As everyone’s hanging out, JK enters.
JK : Hi guys!
Praveen : Why so late?
JK : Small errand.
Praveen : Good you weren’t there earlier. When the principal heard your name, he let us in like royal guests!
(Everyone bursts out laughing.)
Meanwhile, Harsha whispers to Purvi:
Harsha : Now’s the perfect time! Go tell him!
Purvi : Okay okay, stop scaring me.
She walks nervously toward JK.
Purvi : JK, I need to talk to you.
JK (rudely): I don’t have time now.
Swathi: Hey! Why are you being rude to her? She’s scared. Just talk for two minutes, please.
JK: Okay, just for you, Swathi.
Purvi and JK walk toward the garden.
Purvi tries to gather courage. Looking into his eyes, she starts trembling.
JK : Say it quickly, or I’ll leave.
Purvi (blushing): I had a crush on you ever since I saw you give that speech during the fresher’s party. But I truly fell in love when I saw you risk your life to save a puppy stuck in traffic. That’s when I knew you were special — my dream boy. From then on, I’ve loved you deeply. I can’t imagine life without you. Please accept my love.
JK : Sorry, I can’t. I don’t love you.
Purvi : Why?! Am I lacking in any way? I’m pretty, from a wealthy family, and I admire your joint family — it’s rare these days. Please, I love you more than anything...
JK : I respect your feelings, but I don’t love you.
(Purvi grabs his hand in tears.)
Purvi : I won’t let go until you tell me why you’re rejecting me!
JK doesn’t answer and pulls away. Just then, Swathi enters.
Swathi : Purvi, why are you crying? Did JK scold you?
Purvi (weeping): Swathi, I love him so much. I can’t live without him. Please convince him for me.
The others arrive: Surya, Praveen, and Karthik.
Swathi : JK, why did you reject her? She’s a great girl!
JK (angrily): You don’t know why I did it?
(He glares at Swathi, who panics at his unexpected fury. Everyone is shocked to see JK so angry.)
Surya (pulls JK aside): Calm down. Let her go. We’ll talk later.
(Purvi walks away in tears.)
Praveen: Poor girl...
Surya: Let’s focus on the annual function — only 3 days left and we’re in charge.

Later that evening...
Surya : You all go ahead. I want to talk to Purvi.
JK : There’s no need. Let’s leave.
Surya : You go. I’ll catch up.
JK : Fine.
JK (to Praveen): Hey, you sit behind me today.
Praveen (shocked): Why me?
JK : Isn’t it always Swathi who rides with me?
Praveen: But that one time I insisted, you scared me half to death!
Swathi : Why can’t I ride with you today?
(JK starts his bike and leaves silently. Swathi’s eyes fill with tears.)
Karthik : Swathi, I think JK misunderstood something about the Purvi situation.
Swathi (tearfully): I don’t even know what I said wrong...
(Swathi and Karthik ride home, Praveen rides with Surya.)

Meanwhile, Purvi and Harsha are walking to the parking lot.
Surya (calls out): Purvi, wait! I need to talk.
Purvi : Go ahead.
Surya : Please forget JK. Let this end here.
Purvi (laughs nervously): Just because he got angry, doesn’t mean I’ll stop loving him. I love even his anger. I’ll wait until he accepts me.
Surya : No matter how long you wait, he won’t.
Purvi : Why not? He never accepted anyone’s proposal in college, but always respected people’s feelings — and I admire that. I will make him accept my love.
Harsha : Please Surya, help us... 🙏
Surya : I can’t help you. I’ll always stand with JK. Please stay away from him.
Purvi : Why? Is he already in love with someone?
Surya : That’s none of your concern. Let him be.
(Purvi’s heart sinks. As Surya leaves...)
Harsha : Let it go. Forget him — that’s for the best.
(Purvi slaps her.)
Purvi : You’re just my friend. Don’t give me advice.
Harsha : I was only thinking of your good...
(Harsha leaves. Purvi just smirks.)
Purvi (determined): No matter what anyone says, I won’t give up on JK. I’ll make him love me. Just wait and watch! 😏
To be continued...
