Prologue♡

: "What's your Name"
: "Avni"
: "Don't you have any surname?" another girl chimed in, raising an eyebrow.

Avni nodded slowly, her eyes cast downward.
The group of girls smirked, sensing her unease, but their amusement was short-lived.

Just then, another girl approached and whispered to one of the group members, Hearing the another girl  words, the girl smirk changed to one of fear.
The other girls also heard her words, and their eyes widened in shock. They turned to Avni, their faces filled with a mix of nervousness and fear. One of them asked, trembling, 'Are you Avni Sharma ?'

Avni's confusion deepened as she saw the alarm in their faces. She hesitated, then nodded slowly.

The room fell silent, as if the air had been sucked out. The girls exchanged nervous glances, fear etched on their faces. Avni was bewildered, wondering what had happened and why they were so scared.

One of the girls said, "We're so sorry, Avni.  We didn't know you're Avni Sharma. Please forgive us."

Avni hesitated, then nodded, "Okay."

The group members sighed in relief and thanked her. Their leader said, "You can go now. We won't disturb you again."

Avni was doubly confused by their sudden change in behavior. She nodded and turned to leave when the leader called out, "Avni, please don't tell Sir about our attempt to rag you."

Sir? Who is sir? Avni thought, but didn't ask. She nodded and turned, still pondering.

As she walked away, she heard the group members whispering:

: "Why didn't you tell us she's Avni Sharma?
: "I forgot her face, but then I  remembered it and stopped you all
: "I just hope Rudraksh Sir doesn't find out about this; if he learns we tried to rag his girl, we're all done for."
        

At the mention of the familiar name, her eyes widened in shock.
