After that programme, one WhatsApp group was created to share some important study materials and assignments and we all were added to that group where people were sharing selfies, jokes and all other stuff except the study material for which the group was primarily created!
Payal was also added to this group. So I got her number from there and messaged her to ask for notes just to start the conversation. She helped me with the notes as well as clearing some doubts I had in some topics. I was really impressed by her humble behavior. This is how we started talking to each other and gradually it became our routine. We started developing trust for each other so we started sharing our past and so many other things about each other. Our bond was getting stronger every passing day.
With the weeks passing by, we realized we had so many things in common, like common interests, common beliefs on so many things etc. We felt like we are on the same page. We were enjoying each other's company. I always teased her for her big spectacles and was calling her 'Chasmis' and also for that lado rani tattoo she had. Besides all these, I never missed any chance to flirt with her. This is how our journey of friendship was running smoothly.
