maya
maya
(shrugging, stepping closer): “I didn’t come to scold anyone. I just wanted to see you. You four… you were my only real friends in college. I didn’t care about anyone else. I needed this moment.”

anya/FL best friend

aruhi/ FL best friend
aruhi/ FL best friend
So... Advik, what do you do?
advik/ML
advik/ML
"I did my graduation in abroad, but honestly? Corporate jobs never felt like me. I don’t like the idea of depending on someone else or just following a system. I’ve been thinking of starting something on my own..
aruhi/ FL best friend
aruhi/ FL best friend
But… your parents are rich, right? I’ve heard about your family. Then why aren’t you already settled or working in their business?"
Advik (pauses, then replies honestly):
advik/ML
advik/ML
"Yeah, they are. And I could’ve easily joined the family business. But… it doesn’t feel like my journey. I don’t want to live on someone else’s effort. I want to build something of my own, even if it’s small. I don’t have a perfect plan yet — just a mini idea I’ve been thinking about. But I want it to be mine."
Ruhika/FL
Ruhika/FL
That takes guts. It’s easy to use what you have. Walking away from it? Not many do that."
Hanshi (raising an eyebrow, teasing):

Only on Sundays and when people ask tough questions."😅
Anya (softly, but watching him closely):
anya/FL best friend

"Still... it’s nice. Doing things your way, even if it’s slow."
advik/ML
