Ananya's eyes widened to the size of saucers, her brain struggling to process the image before her. Anand and Radhika. Kissing. The audacity! The betrayal! Before her brain could even register a thought, a raw, shocked scream tore from her throat. "Ahh!" She spun around instantly, covering her eyes with both hands, as if that could unsee the sight.

Anand and Radhika, startled by the ear-splitting shriek, immediately broke apart, looking like two deer caught in headlights. They spun towards Ananya, their faces a mixture of horror and mortification. Radhika's neck and cheeks burned a furious scarlet, while Anand, surprisingly, merely adjusted his uniform, a casual, almost smug look on his face.
