Aria slowly woke up to the soft rays of the morning sun. Her room was quiet, the only sound being the soft rustle of the trees outside. She stretched, feeling the warmth of the day seeping into her skin. After a quick shower, she stood in front of her mirror, running her fingers through her hair, still thinking about the events of the previous day.
As she headed downstairs, the scent of freshly cooked food filled the air. Her mother was already setting the breakfast table, a warm smile on her face. "Good morning, Aria! How did you sleep?"
"Good morning, Mom," Aria replied, taking her seat. She absentmindedly picked up a piece of toast and started eating, still lost in thought.
She suddenly remember that keychain which aiden give it to her
"Was Aiden just being kind? Or was there more to it?"
Suddenly, she froze, the piece of toast halfway to her mouth. The keychain. Her mind raced.
"Why did he give it to me? Why now?"
"Aria, dear, are you okay?" her mom asked, noticing the far-off look in her daughter's eyes.
Aria blinked and quickly shook her head, as if snapping out of a trance. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just... thinking about something," she mumbled, but the keychain's image wouldn't leave her mind.
"Thinking about what?" her mom pressed, raising an eyebrow.
Aria hesitated. She didn't want to tell her mother everything. Not yet. "It's nothing, really. Just... remembered something I needed to do," she replied, trying to brush it off.
Her mom didn't seem convinced but nodded. "Well, make sure you don't forget your breakfast. You need the energy!"
Aria barely heard her, lost in her own thoughts again. She stood up quickly, excusing herself from the table. "I'll take care of it later, Mom. I need to go... uh, do something. I'll be right back!"
Before her mother could say anything, Aria grabbed her coat and rushed out of the kitchen. Her mind was made up. She had to talk to Lena.
She headed straight to Lena's house, her heart beating a little faster with each step. Lena will understand. She always does.
As she reached the door, she called out, "Lena! Lena!" Her voice was louder than usual, almost frantic.
A few moments later, Lena appeared at the door, eyes wide. "Aria, what's wrong?"
Aria took a deep breath and looked at Lena, her voice trembling slightly. "I need to talk to you... about the keychain."
"Aria? What's wrong?" Lena asked.
Aria took a deep breath. "I need to talk to you about the keychain. The letter P. I don't understand. Why did Aiden give it to me? Aiden trying to give it to Caleb first but he didnot take it . His name isn't even close to P. And then Aiden he tried to give it to me. I don't get it."
Lena said " what ,what keychain? What aiden giving to caleb ?? What aiden giving to you?? Aria tell me ?? What ??
Aria sighs and then tell her about last night that how aiden giving her the letter P keychain .
Lena stared at her, thinking hard. "Wait a minute," she began, "so Caleb didn't take it, but Aiden tried to give it to you again? That's strange... Do you think it means something?"
Aria shook her head, clearly confused. "I have no idea. But the letter P... what does it mean?"
Both of them stood in silence, trying to piece together any clues. Lena tapped her chin thoughtfully.
"I'm not sure either," Lena said, deep in thought. "But maybe it's a clue. Like, it could stand for something or someone... or maybe even a word Aiden thinks is important."
Aria blinked, feeling a spark of realization. "Ohh no lena you are so fool!!"You think so? But why me? Why would Aiden give it to me?"
Lena shrugged, a little unsure. "Maybe there's something to the letter P. Maybe it means something only Aiden understands... or maybe it's something that connects to you, Aria."
Aria felt a strange mix of anticipation and confusion. The keychain, the letter, Aiden... It was all a puzzle, and she didn't have the pieces to complete it yet. But with Lena's words, she felt a sense of urgency. There's something I'm missing here.
Aria stood in front of Lena, her mind still tangled with questions about the keychain. She couldn't understand why Aiden had given it to her, or why the letter "P" was so important.
Lena, deep in thought, stared off into the distance as she tried to make sense of it. After a few moments of silence, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Wait a second!" Lena exclaimed, a look of realization on her face.
Aria turned to her, surprised. "What? What did you think of?"
Lena's face lit up with a sudden burst of excitement. "The letter 'P'! I know what it means!"
Aria blinked, confused. "What? What does it mean?"
Lena took a deep breath, her voice almost a whisper as she spoke.
"In Urdu... the letter 'P' stands for 'Pyaar.'"
Aria's eyebrows furrowed. "Pyaar? What's that?"
Lena's expression softened, as if the words had a deeper meaning. "It means... love. 'Pyaar' is the Urdu word for love."
Aria's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe it. The keychain. The letter 'P.' It wasn't just a random symbol. It was a message. A message from Aiden, with the word love hidden inside.
Both girls stood there in stunned silence, processing the revelation. The weight of it all settled in as Aria's mind raced. Did Aiden... feel that way about me? Was this keychain his way of telling me something?
"Love…" Aria whispered, her voice almost a breath. "Aiden… he..."
Lena gave her a soft, knowing look. "I think that's what the keychain was meant to show you, Aria. It's not just a letter. It's a symbol of something deeper."
The realization hit Aria like a wave. The keychain, the mysterious letter "P," everything suddenly made sense. Aiden wasn't just being random. There was a meaning behind his gesture. And it was clear now it was a message of love.
As Aria and Lena stood in the quiet of the moment, suddenly, they both heard Aiden's voice coming from the street. It was faint, but clear enough for Lena to recognize. She turned to Aria, her face lighting up with sudden determination.
"Oh, it's him," Lena said, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Aria froze, her heart racing. "No, no, Lena, what are you going to do?"
Lena raised her hand to calm her down. "Just wait a minute, stand here. We'll be right back." Without waiting for a reply, Lena rushed off, heading toward the street.
Aria stood still, her gaze following Lena as she walked away, feeling a strange sense of unease settle over her. She couldn't hear what was being said, but she could see them talking now. Lena was facing Aiden, standing in front of him with a determined look.
Aiden looked surprised, but curious, as he noticed Lena approaching. "Lena?" he asked, clearly caught off guard.
Lena took a deep breath and, with a serious tone, asked, "Aiden, can I ask you something?"
Aria watched from a distance, trying to make out their conversation, her heart pounding in her chest. What was Lena asking him? Why was she doing this??
Aiden nodded, his expression still a mix of confusion and interest. "Yeah, sure. What's on your mind?"
Lena didn't waste any time, getting straight to the point. "Are you in any relationship? Do you think of any girls?"
Aria's breath caught in her throat as she waited for Aiden's response. She could see his face change slightly, a thoughtful look crossing his features. For a moment, he was silent, as if carefully considering his answer.
"No," Aiden finally said, his voice low but clear. "Not yet, but I'm thinking. I'm thinking about someone."
Aria's heart skipped a beat at his words. Someone? The words echoed in her mind, a thousand possibilities racing through her thoughts. Was he talking about her? Had Aiden been thinking about her this whole time?
From a distance, Aria stood frozen, unsure of what to make of the conversation. Her emotions were tangled in confusion, and a sense of hope. Could it be? Was there something more between them than she had ever realized?
But she is not SURE beacuse lena is just GUESSING.!
