Naye Raaste, Purane Rishte
Somewhere in the heart of Mumbai… A girl stood by the window of a small 1BHK, watching the city that never truly slept. New dreams, old fears, and one unknown boy still floating in her head.
Ananya Roy FL
Hello, new life. Be gentle, okay? *In her head*
She placed the last book on her tiny bookshelf. A small cactus plant sat by the window — her mom had insisted she carry something green. Her rented flat wasn't fancy, but it was hers. For the first time ever.
Rhea Malhotra (FL's Best friend)
*Calling*
Ananya Roy FL
**She smiled instinctively and picked it up** Look who finally remembered me!
Rhea Malhotra (FL's Best friend)
Shut up! I called you yesterday and you didn’t answer.**Teasing**
Ananya Roy FL
I was working! Unlike someone who spends her day scrolling Instagram **roll her eyes 🙄🙄**
Rhea Malhotra (FL's Best friend)
Okay, ma’am. I called today to remind you that I still exist. Say thank you!
Ananya Roy FL
Thanks, bestie. I missed you, idiot **😘**
Rhea Malhotra (FL's Best friend)
Okay, tell me everything. How was it? Was he hot? **😜**
Ananya Roy FL
**laughs**
He was... calm. Like a person who doesn’t have to try. Just exists and makes everything around him quiet.
Rhea Malhotra (FL's Best friend)
Ufff, poetic ho gayi tu. Crush?**😉😉**
Ananya Roy FL
No crush. Just... connection. Maybe..
Rhea Malhotra (FL's Best friend)
Hmm. That maybe is dangerous. Don’t fall too fast, Anu..
Ananya Roy FL
I’m not. Don’t worry. I came here for my dream job, not some dream boy..
After the call ends, Ananya video-calls her mom and dad. Maa picks up instantly.
Shalini Roy (FL's Mom)
Kaisi hai meri journalist beti? Sab theek?
Ananya Roy FL
**smiling**Better. The city is loud, but I like it. I feel... awake.
Shalini Roy (FL's Mom)
Tune kaha tha koi writing ka kaam mila?
Ananya Roy FL
Ha, ek digital media company hai – they liked my blogs. I’m officially onboarded. Meeting their creative lead next week. Founder se ab tak nahi mili.
Mihir Roy (FL's Dad)
**in background**
“Beta, paise theek se mil rahe na?
Ananya Roy FL
Yes, Papa. Aur main sambhal lungi. Promise**😄**
Shalini Roy (FL's Mom)
Bas... khud ka dhyan rakh. Aur wo... jo ladka Mila tha— **😶😶**
Ananya Roy FL
Maa**😫😫** Bas coffee pe mile the **🫥🫥**
Shalini Roy (FL's Mom)
Hmm... lekin tere gaalon pe toh coffee se zyada blush dikha**teasing **
Ananya Roy FL
**Ananya blushes even more**
