Hi myself Ishaani, and this is my story. I was called an Ice Queen by everyone, but I know why I was like that. On the outside, I was rude, brave, cold and ruthless to everyone Including my close ones, but inside I was weak, scared, hurt and soft. However, no one knew this except the one who were closest to me. Who knows me from long ago, like family members and friend's?.

The Story begins on 1st March 2024............

I was on my way to check out the new café that had opened in our area a week earlier. I called my brother Rohan to ask if he wanted to visit it with me, but he refused. Likewise, I said I was fine by myself if he didn't want to come, and I hung up. The cafés name was "Coffebucks". I stepped inside and headed towards the counter, but when I reached the counter, I saw that no one was there. So, I turned around and looked everywhere to find a part-timer, but there were none there. As I was looking around, I saw a button on the wall that was labelled "BELL". I thought it was a bell to call the part-timer, so I pressed it.

But as soon as I pressed it, an alarm went off, and the whole café was in chaos. People were running here and there shouting,

"Fire! Fire! Fire!

And, asking if anyone had called the firefighters. That's when. I realized that I pressed the wrong button; the button I pressed was a fire alarm. As I stood there watching the whole scene, I saw a part-timer who came running from the kitchen with a fire extinguisher in his hand.

And

That was Tyler, the man who is going to change my life, the one who is going to turn my life around, I didn't know it at the time. But he was the one

And

As soon as he came out, he asked everyone where the fire had started and ran around, but it was that movement he understood that it was a false alarm. First, he calmed the public in the café and announced that it was a mistaken call by someone. He asked the people in the café about the person who pressed the button, but no one saw the person. I stood there, watching the scene, and I knew that if I went and said it was me, I would be dead. So, I remained silent.

That was the moment when the part-timer said he would check the CCTV to find that person. After hearing this, I slowly started moving towards the exit door of the café. When the part-timer announced that no one should leave the shop until he checked the CCTV footage, I was sure that I was screwed.

What will happen next

So I directly told the part-timer, "I did," in a calm tone. "It was me. I pressed the button without knowing that it was a fire alarm." At that very moment, the part-timer called me over to the counter and told the other people to enjoy the snacks and drinks they had bought.

I walked towards the counter as he said. He asked me about the fire alarm and why I pressed it, and I told him that it was an accident. I thought it was a bell to call the part-timer, but he was very furious and was about to curse me for the chaos I had caused.

However, at that moment, another part-timer arrived and took the first part-timer to the side, whispered something, and then the first part-timer came back to the counter and asked what I wanted to order. I said that I still had to order. He asked me to take a look at the menu on the counter and order the item I liked. Without looking at the menu, I ordered coffee, and he asked me which kind or type. I said I wanted a normal cup of coffee with extra sugar.

He said he received the order and gave me a table to wait at. At that moment, I knew he was angry with me, but I didn't know why he didn't say anything. When he brought the order [coffee], he asked me my name. I stayed calm without saying anything. Then he sat in front seat of my table. When I lifted my head and saw, it was not the first part-timer who was angry, but

the other part-timer who whispered in the ears of the first part-timer. I was confused because I thought I had seen him somewhere. That's when he said that his name was Rocky and that he studied at the same university as I did. Then a thought struck me; I realized that he was my classmate. I said, "Yeah, I know." Then he asked my name, and I replied, "Ishaani." He said that he had always wanted to be friends with me, but I didn't answer him. I just stared at him until he got up and walked away towards the counter.

I drank my coffee and got back home. I started to visit the café regularly as it was nearer to my home, it had a nice view, and the coffee was good. Rocky, that part-timer, tried to get close, but I kept my distance. One day, he gave me coffee without taking my order. I thought it could have been because I ordered it regularly; that's when the taste of the coffee seemed somewhat different, but it was good. I drank it,

Rocky came to me and asked how the coffee was. I said it was good and asked why it tasted different. Then he told me this: "It's a special coffee for a special person, and I added dark chocolate in it so its taste will be good." It was strange; that's when I realized that he was interested in me. I just asked how much the dark chocolate was. Then he said it was 120 Rs and asked why I was asking. I told him not to treat me like a special person and gave him an extra 120 Rs for the chocolate before stepping out of the café.

The other day, when I visited the café for a coffee, Rohan tagged along with me to try the new café's snacks. When we went inside the café, we sat down and ordered a coffee and macarons. When the part-timer brought the items, Rohan stood up and said, "Hey dude, what's up?" I hadn't seen you in so many years. I thought it was Rocky, but it was not him; it was the first part-timer who was angry with me the other day. I asked Rohan, "Do you know him?" Then Rohan said that his name was "Tyler" and he is "Lily's" brother. Then I realized that he was my other brother's fiancée's [Lily] brother.

[My other brother's name is Shyam, and his fiancée's name is Lily.]

Lily was one of my close friends, but she didn't even mention her brother in our conversation. But that's when a thought struck me: what if he tells about the chaos I started in the café? The other thought was that Lily's family is rich, but why is her brother working as a part-timer?

That's when they started having a big conversation without realizing I was also there with them. They talked for an hour, and after that, Rohan invited Tyler to our house. I said no to his face as if Tyler was not there. Soon, I covered it up as I got a message that was an emergency and took a leave from both of them and directly headed outside the café. The next day, Tyler came to our house with his sister, Lily. After they started enjoying themselves, I took Lily to my room and asked her about Tyler, explaining what happened at the café that week.

She said that he was out of the country when my brother and she got engaged, and also that her mother refused to acknowledge that she had a brother. So, they couldn't tell, but Rohan was his childhood buddy as they studied in middle school together. He knew him better, and after she said that, I had thousands of questions in my head, but I didn't ask her any and said, "Let's go enjoy and play with them."I said, and I also asked her a favor to tell her brother Tyler not to tell Rohan about the chaos I caused at the café. She said she would do it.

We got back to the living room and found out that they were planning to go to the play zone in our house, so we joined them. We first played some video games, then cricket. After that, we started playing Uno. There were six players: Rohan, Riya, Shyam, Lily, Shruti, Tyler, and me. We were having fun. After the game ended, Rohan took everyone's reviews like an anchor. Everyone was laughing at what he was doing except me. When it was my turn to give a review, I said, "It was an extraordinary game, and I had fun," without even smiling.

That's when Tyler said, "But you didn't even smile or laugh while playing, and now also while everyone was laughing and smiling." At that moment, everyone in the room stared at Tyler, and Lily shut Tyler's mouth with her hand and said, "Let's play another round. Everyone started playing, and after the game ended, Tyler asked the same question: "Why are you not smiling? Do you not want to play?" Then Lily shouted at him, "Let's go home."

I replied rudely, "It's my choice whether I want to smile or not, and I like to play Uno no matter what happens." The whole room went silent, and after an hour, the guests and my friends left my house. We ate dinner and went to sleep.

Early in the morning, Shyam woke me up as it was the first day of university this year. I got ready and forced Rohan to get ready. We went to the university, and I sat in my seat. Everyone was busy chatting and having fun with their friends. I opened my phone, connected my AirPods, and played my favorite playlist (a mix of K-pop, Indian, and English mashups). The songs were mostly melodies, sad, heartbroken, and love songs.

All the girls were gossiping about something.I turned my head to see what they were staring and gossiping about. I saw a boy wearing a black shirt, torn jeans with chains, an earring on his left ear, and messy hair, coming towards me. Rohan jumped out of nowhere and put his hand around the neck of the boy as he approached. Rohan brought him to his seat and talked. I was wondering who he could be when Riya, Rohan's girlfriend, entered the room. All of a sudden, a person sat beside me. I turned my head and saw the same boy from before, and when I saw his face, he was none other than Tyler. I said straight to his face, "What happened to you overnight?" Then he came close to my face, my heartbeat rose, and he whispered in my ear, "Do you like my new look for the new university?" I froze for a second, then looked him up and down, and I just said, "It looks OK," but inside,

I loved his look.
